Yang Guang, who was standing on top of the city, saw that in the darkness, a stray arrow suddenly flew in. The moment has already arrived.

At this time, most of the more than 100 shì guards around Yang Guang had already been left by Yang Guang on various sections of the city wall, and there were only twenty or thirty people around him at this time, most of whom were already physically and mentally exhausted.

In the chaos, when the tributary of the arrows flying from the city was discovered, it was too late to block.

When it was extremely critical, Princess Izumo Yang Jier, who was wiping Yang Guang's sweat with a handkerchief, also found the arrow. At the last moment, Yang Jier did not hesitate at all, hugged Yang Guang's body, and turned around to block Yang Guang in front of Yang Guang with his body.

"Porphyry!" The crossbow arrow entered from the back of Yang Ji'er's heart, and most of the long arrow fell into his body, leaving only a small part outside.

Yang Guang only felt the body of his baby daughter Yang Jier in his arms shook, and he took a few steps back with a strong bang. Looking down, Izumo's face was already as white as paper, and the princess glanced up at Yang Guang, and said, "Father, be careful." Before he could finish speaking, a mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth, and as soon as his eyes closed, the person had passed out.

It all happened so fast that by the time the guards tried to block, it was too late. Looking at the lake-green polo outfit worn under the princess's light helmet, the back of the heart behind her has been stained red with blood.

"Protect Your Majesty!" Yu Wenhua didn't know when he came out again, and when he saw that the princess had just helped the emperor block an arrow, his face was sweating like rain. I was terrified in my heart, the guards around the emperor were all his Zuo Yiwei's people, and now that the princess was seriously injured, how could he leave it out.

Dozens of soldiers on the side immediately rushed over, forming a thick human wall of several layers around Yang Guang. Fan Zigai, who came from nearby, was also pale at this time, tonight the emperor was forced to go to the city, and the emperor was almost hit by an arrow just now, which is all his guilt. Thinking that the princess was killed by an arrow and didn't know whether she was alive or dead, Fan Zigai hurriedly shouted loudly, "Call the imperial doctor quickly, and escort Your Majesty back to the city immediately." Empress Xiao was still in shock, and at this time she suddenly came back to her senses, rushed over with tears in her eyes, and helped Princess Izumo. Empress Xiao removed the princess from Yang Guang's arms and carried her on a stretcher with several palace maids that was specially designed to carry the wounded.

Yang Guang held the princess's hand tightly and shouted loudly, "Call the imperial doctor, call the imperial doctor." "Your Majesty, please drive back to the slope immediately." Yu culture and the Tao of fear.

Yang Guang watched several shì guards carry stretchers and send the princess down the city before nodding and walking down the city under the escort of shì guards.

Rushing to the Feiyun Temple, the guards had already urgently called the imperial doctor of the Tai Hospital, who was driving. The imperial doctor was also shocked to see that the princess's entire upper body had been stained red with blood. Hurriedly told them to be sent into the inner chamber for healing.

Seeing that the princess was sent into the room for healing, Yang Guangcai stopped and stayed outside the room.

Yang Guang, who was still undecided, held Empress Xiao's hand and said, "When I was still the king of Jin, I was attacked by assassins, and that time it was Izumo's mother who used her body to block the fatal blow. Unexpectedly, sixteen years later, Jill used her body to block another arrow. What the hell did I do, and why did I do this? Empress Xiao was shocked and frightened, and said with tears in her eyes, "Your Majesty, don't worry, the imperial doctor has excellent medical skills, and he will definitely be able to cure Izumo." Saying that, the queen saw that Yang Guang's xiōng also had a large piece of his shirt stained red with blood, and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, your placket is stained with blood, let the concubines change your clothes for you." ”

The queen asked the palace maid to send hot water, towels and clean clothes, and personally changed Yang Guang's clothes. Untie the belt, Empress Xiao changed Yang Guang's clothes, Yang Guang was still blood-red before taking off his shirt, and Empress Xiao was busy wiping Yang Guang after wringing out a wet towel. The candles in the house were shining, and after Empress Xiao wiped it several times, the blood stains in front of Yang Guangxiōng not only did not wipe it clean, but more and more, and finally even the entire towel had turned red.

Hurriedly took a candle and moved it closer, and Xiao Hou suddenly exhaled.

I saw that under the close illumination of the candle, there was a deep blood hole in front of Yang Guang's xiōng, and blood was constantly gushing out of it at this time.

"Imperial Doctor, pass on the Imperial Doctor." Empress Xiao shouted loudly, the crossbow arrow just now not only hit Princess Izumo, but also penetrated the princess's body entirely, and stabbed Yang Guang, who was hugging the princess, a lot. At that time, there was chaos above the city, and when Emperor Xiao removed the princess, he did not find that the emperor had also been hit by an arrow, and only thought that the blood in front of Xiōng belonged to the princess. …,

Yang Guang didn't know that he had also been hit by an arrow at this time, and he was still sad in his heart, "Why did the queen pass on the imperial doctor, is the princess's injury too serious?" ”

Empress Xiao helped Yang Guang, grabbed a towel with one hand and tightly blocked the bleeding wound in front of Yang Guang, and cried, "Your Majesty, you were also injured by that arrow just now." ”

Yang Guang removed the queen's hand and saw that there was a deep wound at his xiōng mouth, which was still bleeding. I didn't feel any pain just now, but when I looked closely, I suddenly felt dizzy and fainted in the queen's arms.

Several royal officials rushed over again, and when they saw the emperor being hit by an arrow, they were shocked at the moment. hurriedly carried Yang Guang into another room and hurried to heal. The emperor comforted the soldiers at the head of the city, and the queen princess personally went to the city to deliver food and water, but the princess used her body to block a stray arrow for the emperor, but in the end, the stray arrow not only shot the princess, but also penetrated the princess and shot the emperor. At the moment, the princess and the emperor were unconscious, and the news spread throughout Yanmen City at once.

Rumors flowed like the wind through the city of Yanmen, and in the darkest period before dawn, there were even rumors that the emperor had been killed by an arrow. The soldiers of the whole city were terrified and deeply disturbed. The morale of the whole army was greatly demoralized for a while, but the Turks took advantage of the situation to attack the city more and more fiercely.

But the morale of the defenders plummeted, the people were panicked, and the troops were at a disadvantage. Under the fierce onslaught of the Turks, the Turkic soldiers continued to climb the city walls. The pressure on the head of the city became heavier and heavier by the moment, and the Turks poured in more and more people each time, and the number of them increased. Liao Zhan gritted his teeth on both sides, blood flew sideways, swords and swords everywhere, and screams continued one after another. There were more and more enemies in the upper city, and at first there was an emergency in the west, and then the alarm bell also sounded in the east, and the sound of rapid running continued one after another, and the mobile troops rushed everywhere to reinforce the weak defensive lines. With a thin force to bear heavy pressure, the defense line is in danger.

At the last moment, all the people in the city were transferred to the city, not only the people in the city, but also the palace maids and eunuchs were also requisitioned to the city. All the houses near the Yanmen city wall were also stripped away.

The masonry was transported to trebuchets and walls, and wood was used to attack the enemy.

At the critical moment, even the old man Su Weisu, who was the head of the civil officials, took out the ceremonial knife at his waist, shaking his silver-white beard to boost morale above the city. Li Shimin even took his 3,000 men and horses, changed into double-layer infantry Mingguang battle armor, and all of them were replaced with steel spears nearly five meters long, and swept away like scavengers. The wielding spears drove the Turkic soldiers in leather armor, wielding scimitars, and carrying small round shields into the city.

Pei Yun also collected all the oil from the city and transported it to the city, and barrels of hot oil were poured head-on, burning countless Turkic soldiers to flee in all directions. When most of the oil had been poured into the city, torches were thrown down the city.

In an instant, a huge wall of fire rose along the city wall, and the fire ignited most of the ladders on top of the city walls, burning most of the Turkic soldiers who were still on the ladders. The offensive momentum of the entire Turkic people was blocked, and the siege force of the Turks suddenly appeared a fault. Losing the continuous replenishment of the follow-up troops, the Turkic soldiers who rushed to the city were finally isolated and helpless, and were quickly killed under the joint attack of the soldiers and civilians in the city.

By the time the wall of fire under the city wall was gradually extinguished, the Turks at the head of the city had been emptied.

Corpses were thrown from the top of the city, and the eastern sky finally showed a glimmer of light.

After this wall of fire of the Sui army, most of the Turkic ladders were destroyed and turned into burning bonfires.

Seeing that the troops had suffered such heavy losses, and the soldiers brought out from the Si tribe were wiped out in large numbers, the leader of the Méng Chen clan, Tong Jin Getun, whipped his horse whip to the ground, "Great Khan, this is letting the sons and daughters die!" That's impossible to take! Tonight's siege plan has failed. ”

The leaders of the various tribes who commanded the troops at the front also ran to the golden wolf and persuaded Shibi Khan, "Great Khan, let's withdraw the troops for the time being!" ”

Even Shibi's son, Tuli Little Khan, stepped forward and said, "When we have built the siege equipment, we can attack again!" ”

But the Great Khan of Shibi was as stubborn as if he had been caught by a ghost at this time, and ignored all the advice, and ordered with a blue face: "Rush, rush for me!" If you dare to retreat, kill me! Chiefs of the tribes, hold on for another half an hour, and victory will be ours! ”

For Shi Bi, tonight's attack is his all-out attack, and he must take Yanmen. Although Yang Guang is surrounded at the moment, the Sui army in Hedong is not far from here, and it won't take long to arrive, and he has a limited time to attack Yanmen with all his might.

And there is another reason why he has not told the leaders of the tribes, when Chen Kefu told Shibi Yang Guang to prepare to attack the Turks in alliance with the four Tiele families. Later, Shibi went south, only saying that Yang Guang had prepared an army of 500,000 to attack the Turks, but did not say that the three divisions of Tiele would also come to attack the grassland.

Now that he has been going south for half a month, he is worried that the longer he stays in the Central Plains, the more likely his lair will be attacked by Tie Le and others.

And there was another crucial reason that made him decide to go on the offensive at the moment, that is, he thought that the Sui army in the city would not be much better than himself. War is a contest of strength and will, and Shi Bi believes that whoever can hold out for the last quarter of an hour will win in the end.

The leaders of the tribes reluctantly sent orders to the soldiers of the tribes to continue the attack, take Yanmen, and capture Yang Guang alive. (To be continued...)
