Yang Guang was shocked and only had 20,000 shi of grain. He asked anxiously: "How much grass is there?"
Lu Yu didn't know the specific stock of the forage, so he could only answer vaguely, "Report to Your Majesty, Yanmen County has only 5,000 war horses, and it is usually stored for three months in this quantity, and now it has suddenly increased to 100,000 war horses.
I don’t know the specific amount of the forage, but it can only last for ten days at most.
Yang Guang was a little anxious. The food was only enough for twenty days and the forage was only enough for ten days. Once the city was besieged for more than one month, wouldn’t it be all starved to death?
At this time, Yuwen Chengdu next to him said: "Your Majesty, I suggest slaughtering 50,000 war horses first, increasing meat on the one hand, and reducing the consumption of forage on the other hand."
Yang Guang pondered for a moment and said, "Where did the Turkic cavalry chase after you first? If there is still a distance, either transfer grain and grass from another county, or I will leave Yanmen County and go to Youzhou."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a loud trumpet sound coming from outside. The trumpet sound echoed in the sky, like thousands of trumpet sounding together.
Yang Guang changed his thunderously. At this time, the Right Guard General Shi Xiang rushed in and reported urgently: "Your Majesty, the Turkic army has surrounded from all directions, with hundreds of thousands of people, and has surrounded Yanmen City."
Yang Guang showed fear on his face, so nervous that he couldn't even speak, but Yuwen Chengdu was very calm and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, we have a hundred thousand troops to defend the city. This is not a cavalry battle, we may not suffer any losses, and the Turks are not
He is good at sieging the city, and I suggest that I strengthen the city immediately and fight against the Turks!”
Yang Guang calmed down a little, and he took out his gold medal and handed it to Yuwen Chengdu. "General, I appointed you to be fully responsible for defending the city, and 100,000 imperial guards are for you to dispatch."
Yuwen Chengdu knelt on one knee, "I would rather be careless than protect Your Majesty's safety!"
.........
Yuwen Chengdu immediately mobilized 30,000 troops to defend the city, and ordered all the houses along the city wall to be demolished. The bricks, wood and stones obtained were used to defend the city. The houses were pushed one by one, and the beams were sawed into several sections, filled with rolling wood, and built.
The big stone on the foundation was also pried up by soldiers and moved the city to use it as a rock. The owner of the demolished house stood by silently, no one called for the sky and the earth, but just packed up his meager property.
In the city, tens of thousands of Sui soldiers stood densely on the wall. They silently stared at the Turkic army outside the city. Each soldier had a look of fear and terror. The 400,000 Turkic troops had all entered Yanmen County, several miles away, one by one.
The camp tent rose from the ground and stretched for dozens of miles, without seeing the edge, surrounding Yanmen City.
At noon, the huge drums of war sounded. The low horns rang across the earth, and hundreds of thousands of Turkic troops rushed to fight. They rushed in like water, holding shields in their hands, carrying hundreds of
They were raising several feet high to climb the city ladder, fighting for the first place, shouting and killing were shocking.
They used long wooden boards to build a moat two meters wide to serve as a bridge. Nearly 100,000 Turkic troops rushed over. Without tempting attack, they launched a fierce attack.
The Sui army arrows on the city were like raining, and they were densely striking towards the Turkic soldiers. Although there were shields blocking them, there were still large areas of Turkic troops being knocked down. It was just that the army was too dense and there were no catapults. The arrows were insufficient. Hundreds of cities
The ladder was placed on the top of the city, and the iron hook was hooked on the wall. More than 10,000 Turkic vanguards began to attack the climb. The big stones and wood were smashed like hail. A string of enemy troops were hit and rolled down from the air and fell to the ground with screams.
New enemy troops are constantly attacking the city.
Under the city, tens of thousands of Turkic troops began to counterattack with arrows to cover the city. The arrows were densely packed like a net, and they went to the city defenders. The city defenders began to suffer casualties. Thousands of people were shot by arrows. The Sui army was crushed behind the female wall.
If you don't start, you can only use your shield to cover it and shoot arrows to both sides. At this time, a dangerous situation occurred in Dongcheng. The first batch of Turkic troops rushed to the city, and the Sui soldiers began to fight fiercely. More and more Turkic troops rushed to the city, Dongcheng
The situation is extremely critical.
Yuwen Chengdu roared and rushed into the enemy group by horse. He waved the 200-pound gilded bore, which was extremely powerful, and made the Turkic army fly and flesh and blood, and the brain burst. The Turkic army was shocked by his courage and retreated one after another.
Hundreds of Sui troops behind Yuwen Chengdu rushed in, fighting bravely to kill the enemy, and finally killed all the hundreds of Turkic troops who rushed to the city.
The siege was extremely fierce, with arrows flying everywhere and corpses piled up. Both sides put heavy troops in. The county government was close to the north city, only seventy steps away from the city wall. The dense arrows crossed the sky and entered the city.
The arrows entered the county munition.
In the imperial room, Yang Guang's youngest son Yang Gao was extremely frightened and ran to find his father, "Father!"
As soon as he ran into the imperial room, an arrow entered through the window and hit the golden crown on his head. The eunuchs exclaimed. Yang Guang hugged his young son and sat on the ground with his back against the table. At this time, he screamed bitterly.
A little eunuch fell to the ground with an arrow, bleeding profusely.
Another arrow passed over Yang Guang's head, and she was on the wall and landed in front of Yang Guang. Yang Guang was frightened and hugged Yang Gao and cried, "We are going to die here today."
At this moment, the sound of horns came from outside the city, and the sound of horns was rumbling.
This was the horn of the Turkic army's armistice and withdrawal. There were only less than fifty siege ladders left by the Turkic army. Shibi Khan ordered the withdrawal of the siege army.
The 100,000 siege army retreated like a water, but the Sui army in the city did not cheer for victory. In just two hours of siege, 30,000 Sui army had already died and injured 6,000 people, and the Turkic army also suffered more than 10,000 deaths and wounded.
Almost everyone has bloody corpses around them, and a fear of death fills the hearts of every Sui army soldier.
Most of Yang Guang's 100,000 imperial guards were children of wealthy families, including many powerful and powerful children. Guanlong soldiers accounted for half, and many of them were children of Guanlong nobles.
Joining the Imperial Guard has always been a shortcut for the children of the officials to enter the government. It is like a layer of gold. You can be promoted in a few years and turn to serve as an officer of the government soldiers. The Imperial Guard is the army that guards the emperor, with high horses and high horses and clothes.
Jia is glamorous. What they care about is the admiration of young girls and never considers participating in wars. They have always been nicknamed "Prince Jun".
But today, an unexpected incident pushed them to the main battlefield of fighting against the 400,000 Turkic army and when they started fighting, they did not care about fear, but when the enemy retreated, the bloody and cruel war appeared before them, many people's gods collapsed.
After sitting on the ground powerlessly, most people are full of fear and worry about their destiny.
Yuwen Chengdu inspected the battlefield, and the morale of the Sui army was sluggish, which made him full of worries. He thought that 100,000 troops could defend the city, and at least 500,000 attacks, and the other side was a Turkic man who was not good at sieging the city.
Yanmen City should be able to defend it, but now it seems that this army disappoints him. The attack, defense, death and injury ratio is generally three to one, while the prevention, death and injury ratio today reaches five to three. From this we can see that the combat effectiveness of this army is weak.
Sooner or later, the city will be broken.
Yuwen Chengdu sighed. The only way to ask for help now is to ask for help. The fastest and most effective way is to ask for help from Yang Yuanqing.
Yuwen Chengdu ordered several generals to prepare for the war again. He waved his whip and thrust his war horse and ran down the city.
Yang Guang's temporary palace has been changed from the county government office to the Daizhou General Administration Office. It is located in the middle of the city, and the arrows are not here. In the General Administration Office Conference Hall. Yang Guang is discussing countermeasures with more than a dozen ministers.
The General of the Right Guard, Shi Xiang, had already reported the battle situation first, which made everyone present feel heavy in their hearts. The Turks only used the simplest ladder to attack the city and almost broke through the city. If other siege tools were added, then
There will definitely be more misfortune.
Yang Guang sighed and said to everyone: "Everyone expresses their opinions! Now everyone is on the same boat, there is nothing that cannot be said."
He glanced at Yuwen Shu, "Yuwen Aiqing, you have always been more active, so you should talk about it first today."
Yuwen Shu bowed and said, "Your Majesty, what the Turks want to capture is the Emperor of Sui. He took Your Majesty as a hostage and forced the Sui Dynasty to agree to their harsh conditions. Therefore, we must protect His Majesty. I suggest that Your Majesty select thousands of troops from 100,000 troops.
The jing-sharp man, guarding His Majesty and leaving....”
"No!"
Before Yuwen Shu could finish his words, Yuwen Chengdu, who appeared at the door, stopped him sternly, "Your Majesty is the Lord of Wan Cheng, how can you act easily?"
Yuwen Chengdu was originally a fake boy of Yuwen Shu, but in fact he was his family. Although Yuwen Chengdu was gradually promoted by Yang Guang, in Yuwen Shu's eyes, he was just a fake boy. He was born in a humble family and was just a shameless person. He was just a face-saving person.
They always ignored Yu Wencheng. When they met, they treated him like passers-by and never said hello.
Today, Yuwen Chengdu actually refuted himself in front of the emperor and the important ministers, which made Yuwen Shu unable to bear the face. He was furious: "What are you talking nonsense!"
Yuwen Cheng ignored him and walked to Yang Guang to give a deep salute, "Your Majesty, today we only invested 30,000 troops to defend, we still have more than 70,000 people, and enough arrows, and there are still plenty of defense, and the light cavalry
Assault is the strength of the Turkic cavalry. His Majesty's thousands of people left the city, how could he escape their pursuit? The road is long, and once the guards are exhausted, His Majesty can only sleep."
"I agree with the opinion of the General of the Left Guard. Your Majesty must not leave the city easily!"
This is Fan Zigai supporting Yuwen Chengdu. He looked at Yuwen Shu contemptuously and said, "I don't know what purpose some people are for? He actually advised Your Majesty to break through the 400,000 army. The three-year-old child still knows it. Your Majesty is
There is still a chance to protect the city, but once you are in a embarrassed situation, you will regret it. As long as your Majesty is in the city, you can inspire the morale of the army and defeat the enemy's spirit. I advise Your Majesty to send dead soldiers to break through and summon troops from all over the world to serve the king.
, personally comforted the soldiers and announced that they would no longer conquer Goryeo and rewarded titles with great rewards. Everyone will strive for the first place. Why worry about not being able to defend themselves successfully?”
Fan Zigai's words were reasonable and concise, and everyone nodded in agreement. Xiao Yu, the Minister of the Inner History, also said: "After all, the Turks were ministers of the Great Sui Dynasty. They were in violation of their morality. Your Majesty can send envoys to question him, why not.
Keep the way of the ruler and the minister? When negotiating the conditions with him, even if they are useless, they can delay time. Then Your Majesty issued a clear edict to announce that he would no longer conquer Goryeo and be dedicated to dealing with the Turks. Then everyone will feel at ease and fight for their own survival
Now.”
When Yu Shiji was concerned about his own life, he ignored Yu Wen Shu's face and agreed: "Announcement to stop conquering Goryeo and reward soldiers with a high title is indeed a good way to boost morale, and I support it!"
Everyone's opinions tend to be unified, Pei Ju and Pei Yun also expressed their agreement. Yang Guang was forced to helplessly. In order to save his life, he had to agree with the opinions of the ministers.
At this time, Yuwen Chengdu said: "It may be too late to recruit the king from all counties in the world. I suggest asking Yang Yuanqing for help directly. I believe he will definitely lead his army to rescue Your Majesty!"
