Soon after, the soldiers brought one of them up. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"General, the spy has been brought!"

Yuwen Chengdu glanced at it, and saw that the other party was dressed as a scholar, not very old, his body trembled slightly, and he seemed to be a little afraid of Sui Jun.

"You're going to see me?"

Yuwen Chengdu saw that he was powerless, and he didn't care in his heart, this person was not an assassin, even if he was an assassin, he was not his opponent.

"It was the pavilion master of my family who asked me to send a letter to you, the general!"

The man shuddered behind his sleeve and seemed to be looking for something.

"Be honest and don't move!"

The soldiers on the side were worried that he would take out something like a dagger or a crossbow, and hurriedly shouted.

The scholar was so frightened that he didn't dare to move, and he didn't take out his hand that reached into his sleeve, and he didn't know what to do for a while.

"Didn't your pavilion master ask you to deliver the letter? What about your faith? ”

Yuwen Chengdu saw him so submissive, timid and afraid, and he really didn't like it in his heart, so his tone was relatively unkind.

"General, letter, letter is here!"

The scholar glanced at the soldier who had just shouted at him, and seeing that he did not react, he carefully took out the letter from his sleeve.

He wanted to hand it over to Yuwen Chengdu directly, but was snatched away by the soldiers on the side, and after carefully checking the side, he nodded and handed it to Yuwen Chengdu.

The scholars suddenly realized that they were worried that this envelope was poisonous!

Yuwen Chengdu opened the envelope, took out the stationery inside, glanced at it at a glance, was taken aback in his heart, his face changed greatly, and immediately shouted to the soldiers who were resting: "Quick, let everyone gather quickly, cancel the rest, and immediately march towards Yangzhou!" ”

Although the adjutant on the side didn't know what was written on this letterhead, seeing that Yuwen Chengdu cared so much, it was obvious that the content on it was very important, otherwise his reaction would not be so big.

Soon, 30,000 cavalry of the Sui army remounted their horses and slaughtered towards Yangzhou City.

At this time, under the city of Yangzhou, the siege of the city has ended, after a whole day of attack, although the city of Yangzhou has not been taken by the anti-king army, but they have also achieved a lot of results, the moat of more than 20 zhang wide outside the city of Yangzhou has completely disappeared, and the steel cables on the two hanging doors of the north city and the east city have also been burned off.

The corpses of fallen soldiers on both sides were strewn all over the city and beneath the walls, and dozens of pillars of smoke rose in the city, which were caused by fireballs fired into the city by trebuchets of the anti-king's army.

Song Hao stood at the head of the city with a worried face, more than 500 steps in front of him, was the camp of the 13th anti-king army, and under the night, the bonfire in the camp was very eye-catching.

Although Song Hao is not a famous general, he has been in the army for many years after all, and according to the size of the large battalion of the anti-king army, he can already deduce the number of the other party, and it is really for this reason that he is very worried.

"General, the day's casualty data has been counted!"

The adjutant walked up to the city and said to Song Hao.

Song Hao didn't look back, and said lightly: "Read!" ”

Adjutant: "Our army has a total of 20,000 114 soldiers to participate in the defense of the city during the day, and more than 15,700 young and strong people participated in the defense, using 36 trebuchets, 25 stone cannons, and countless stones consumed by firing, 2,108 soldiers were killed and 1,705 were wounded, and 2,936 people were killed and more than 4,600 were wounded. There is a danger of collapse. ”

Song Hao was very surprised in his heart and asked, "Why are there so many casualties among the people?" ”

The adjutant replied: "General, these people were so frightened that they ran around after the battle, and were hit by a lot of stray arrows and flying stones shot into the city by the enemy, plus they have no combat experience and like to get together, which also aggravates their casualties, and they have no armor, and all the armor in the treasury is used to equip the new army, and there is only a batch of rotten leather armor for them, and the number is not much, so they are almost killed or injured by arrows!" ”

Song Hao nodded, but the power of the stray arrows is not small, after all, these people have not undergone formal training, and they are prone to panic on the battlefield, and they must not be chaotic on the battlefield, even if they are not on the front line.

Thinking of the scene of the anti-army arrows like flying locusts during the day, Song Hao gasped, he looked at the north, behind the anti-army camp, it was pitch black, and the reinforcements he was waiting for didn't know when they would come? I don't know if the scouts who sent the letter had the gas to break through the blockade of the rebels and successfully put the distress letter in the hands of the emperor.

In just one day of fierce fighting, his army suffered nearly 4,000 casualties, and I don't know if there are many casualties among the veterans, 4,000 people a day, and only 20,000 people in his hands, and he can hold out for two days at most, and after two days, he will not be able to defend the entire Yangzhou City because of lack of manpower.

He sighed, even if the letter arrived, it would take at least four or five days for reinforcements to arrive, would he be able to hold out for four or five days?

In the camp of the rebels, the Thirteen Ways of Anti-King is discussing tomorrow's tactics, but this is not like a meeting, but rather like a feast, because in front of each of them there are sumptuous wine and delicacies, and there are several dancing girls in the big tent, and the scene looks no different from the celebration banquet after a victory.

"Strategist, this glass of wine, I Xiong Kuohai is the first to salute you, if it weren't for your clever plan, where would we still be basking in the sun on the Grand Canal at this time and running around behind Yang Guang's ass!"

Xiong Kuohai fought very hard in Siping Mountain, because he met a fierce man like Pei Yuanqing, but here in Yangzhou, he had no opponent at all, during the daytime attack, he was the first to rush to the head of the city, and the defenders on the head of the city were killed, if it weren't for the soldiers behind who couldn't keep up, he was besieged by the spear array of the Sui army, maybe the wall of Yangzhou City had been broken today, and in order to reward his performance, today he was placed under the second seat, He sat next to Du Fuwei and Fu Gongyi.

Seeing Xiong Kuohai bare his upper body, revealing a strong muscle, Du Fuwei and Fu Gongqi glanced at each other, both sides nodded imperceptibly, and Fu Gongqi also picked up a bowl of wine on the table, and said to Xiong Kuohai: "General Xiong is really the first fierce general in our thirteen anti-king army, I think tomorrow's siege battle can even be fought around General Xiong, what do you think?" ”

After Fu Gongqi finished speaking, he glanced at everyone, and everyone in the big tent also looked at him in unison, with a puzzled expression on his face, I don't know what his arrangement is? (To be continued.) )
