- Chapter 46: Holding back the main force
This is a scout cavalry of less than a thousand people, led by Scout Lang General Wu Zhiyuan. They came from Yanmen Mountain in the northeast and happened to rush into a gap in the Turkic camp. The horn sounded and the red flag flew. There was great chaos in the Turkic camp. ""
Shibi Khan was furious, "Kill them all!"
Team after team of Turkic cavalry surrounded the Sui army¡¯s scout cavalry. Wu Zhi saw that the situation was critical, so he shouted: "Blow the trumpet, evacuate!"
"Woo¡ª¡ª" A long horn sounded, and more than a thousand cavalry quickly retreated to the road they came from. It was a difficult and dangerous path that the large group of people could not pass. Soon, the Sui army's cavalry disappeared into the mountains and forests.
The arrival of the Fengzhou cavalry made the defenders on the city roar with joy. Although the opponent only had more than a thousand people, it was like a bright light in the dark night, allowing the defenders to see the hope of reinforcements. The red eagle flag made them realize Arrive, this is Yang Yuanqing's Fengzhou Sui army coming for reinforcements.
The morale of the defenders on the city was immediately boosted, and they fought bravely to kill the enemy. The Turkic troops who attacked the city suffered heavy casualties and piled up corpses. At this time, the horn sounded for the Turkic troops to withdraw their troops. The sudden appearance of more than a thousand Sui troops disrupted the Turkic troops. The morale of the army was so high that they could no longer fight. Tens of thousands of Turkic troops retreated quickly like an ebbing tide, and dozens of nest vehicles did not push up the city wall in the end.
Yuwen Chengdu has been watching the mobilization of the Turkic army. The appearance of the Fengzhou scout army must mean that the main force of Fengzhou is not far away, and the Turkic army must respond. Sure enough, he saw a mighty Turkic army of about 100,000 people marching towards Going north, the camp of the Turkic army suddenly became much empty.
The sudden change of the Turkic army caused the defenders on the city to cheer one after another. Yuwen Chengdu was even more ecstatic. He urged his horse and ran towards the city. He wanted to report this great news to the Holy One.
As soon as Yuwen Chengdu ran down the city tower, he saw hundreds of officials gathered around Sui Emperor Yang Guang and hurried towards the city gate. Yuwen Chengdu got off his horse, quickly walked to Yang Guang and knelt down on one knee, "Your Majesty, attack The enemy forces in the city are temporarily retreating!"
"General Yuwen, did you say that reinforcements have arrived?" Yang Guang couldn't hold back his excitement and asked.
"Your Majesty, I am reporting that a scout cavalry from the Fengzhou Sui Army has arrived, causing confusion among the Turkic cavalry. The scout cavalry has retreated, but the Turks have separated a hundred thousand troops and headed north. This means that the main force of the Fengzhou Army has also arrived."
Yang Guang looked a little embarrassed. He heard the cheers at the top of the city and ordered the eunuch to inquire about the news. The eunuch came back and said that reinforcements had arrived. Yang Guang was ecstatic, but he did not expect that it was Yang Yuanqing's reinforcements that had arrived. He didn't know what to say for a moment.
Yang Gongdao beside him advised: "Your Majesty, after all, he is a minister of the Sui Dynasty. Facing the invasion of foreign tribes, it is his duty to come to help. Only by sharing the same hatred and hatred can the siege of Yanmen be solved."
Yuwen Chengdu also said: "Your Majesty, although the soldiers killed the enemy bravely, after all, the number is limited and cannot withstand the attrition. In five or six days at most, there will be no soldiers to defend the city. Yang Yuanqing's arrival has dispersed a large part of the enemy's main force. It will inevitably greatly affect the Turkic army's offensive and buy us time. More importantly, the morale of the soldiers has been greatly boosted, allowing everyone to see hope of survival. This is his contribution."
"I understand, let's talk about it after we clear the siege of Yanmen!"
Yang Guang climbed up the city wall surrounded by hundreds of officials. The blood on the ground was unbearable to see. Many officials could not help but vomit. Yang Guang frowned and walked to the city wall and looked outside the city. It was even more horrifying. Corpses were piled all over the ground, the siege ladder was broken, and the blood had dyed the moat red. In the distance, the Turkic army camp was still overwhelming, and it was impossible to see the edge at a glance, but Yang Guang also saw a mighty Turkic army. Heading north, there must be something unexpected happening in the north, and it can only be the arrival of Yang Yuanqing's Fengzhou Army.
Yang Guang¡¯s expression is complicated. No one knows what he is thinking.
?¡
Yang Yuanqing's army was stationed on the bank of Sangqian River in the south of Shanyang County, about fifty miles away from Yanmen County. More than ten miles away was Xixing Pass, which was later called Yanmen Pass. After crossing Xixing Pass, we headed towards More than thirty miles east is Yanmen County. The terrain in this area is open and suitable for battlefields.
Yang Yuanqing's camp was stationed on a gentle slope. He stood on a high hill on horseback, looking down from a high position. In the distance was a flat river, and further to the east were mountains. The majestic Yanmen Pass and the endless Great Wall stood on the high mountains. Absolute place.
Xixingguan has been captured by the Turks, but the Turkic army bypassed Xiawu Mountain from the north and entered Yanmen County. There was no Turkic army in Shanyang County.
Yang Yuanqing was not in a hurry. His scout cavalry went from the dangerous road to Yanmen City to report the news. At the same time, he also told the Turkic army that the Fengzhou Army was coming. Yang Yuanqing's tactics were to disperse the Turkic army, reduce the pressure on Yanmen City, delay time, and wait. The southern army is coming to help, and he has received intelligence.Qu Tutong's 50,000-strong army stationed in Yan'an County was also crossing the Yellow River to rescue Yanmen.
"General Manager, Governor Wang is here!" a soldier next to him reported.
Yang Yuanqing turned around and saw Wang Rengong, the governor of Mayi County, leading dozens of cavalry to rush here. After a moment, Wang Rengong rushed to Yang Yuanqing, cupped his hands and said with a smile: "General Yang, we haven't seen you for a long time."
Yang Yuanqing smiled slightly and returned the greeting: "I didn't notify you in advance about the last cross-border bandit suppression. I'm very sorry."
¡°It¡¯s okay, there¡¯s no need to mention the past.¡±
Although Yang Yuanqing's support for Sui independence made Wang Rengong quite taboo against him, at this time, the enemy was at hand, and they had to deal with the Turks with the same enemy, and they could not care about each other's positions at this time.
Wang Rengong rushed his horse to Yang Yuanqing, stared at Xixing Pass, and said worriedly: "Xixing Pass is guarded by one man and cannot be opened by ten thousand men. Now that it is occupied by Turks, it may be difficult to pass."
¡°There is a path in the mountains, it¡¯s okay to go there.¡±
Wang Rengong was startled, "Is there a path through which I can go? How come I never knew about it?"
Someone behind him replied: "Prefect, there are indeed three paths that can pass by, but only small groups of troops can do it, not large armies."
Yang Yuanqing turned around and saw an officer standing not far behind them. He was tall and handsome. He seemed to be the leader of Wang Rengong's personal guards. Yang Yuanqing smiled and asked: "This is"
"This is my personal guard, Colonel Liu Wuzhou."
Wang Rengong glared at him fiercely, "I am talking to Manager Yang, and there is no room for you to interrupt. If you dare to do this again, I will hold you accountable!"
"Yes, you are humble enough to admit your mistake!" Liu Wuzhou was afraid to admit his mistake.
It turns out that this person is Liu Wuzhou. Yang Yuanqing nodded, but he didn't want to say anything more. Now he has understood the theory of providence. Liu Wuzhou's opposition to him may not be a bad thing, so the best way is not to deliberately interfere and let history develop naturally.
Yang Yuanqing turned back and said: "The Turks will be worried that their retreat will be cut off, so they will never tolerate tens of thousands of troops appearing in their rear. They will definitely divide their troops to fight me decisively and destroy me."
Wang Rengong then understood Yang Yuanqing's intention and said in shock: "Does General Yang want to fight the Turkic army here?"
Yang Yuanqing nodded slightly, "I hope Wang Shijun can quickly withdraw the surrounding residents into the city and close the city gate tightly. The war will begin tomorrow."
At this time, Yang Yuanqing's pupils suddenly shrank and he stared at Xixingguan. He said calmly: "They have arrived!"
Wang Rengong also saw a large group of Turkic soldiers pouring out of Xixing Pass and moving down the mountain. He immediately turned around and shouted to Liu Wuzhou: "Quickly inform Li Juncheng to move the surrounding people into the city!"
Liu Wuzhou agreed, turned around and left. Looking at Liu Wuzhou's back, Yang Yuanqing smiled again and said: "You are a good personal guard!"
"It's really good. He is smart, capable, and has strong martial arts skills. He is my right-hand man."
"Even so, Wang Shijun still needs to be careful. When the world is in chaos, people's hearts are unpredictable." Yang Yuanqing couldn't help but remind Wang Rengong.
Wang Rengong laughed, his eyes flashing with disdain for Yang Yuanqing.
"This person is my personal soldier, so I can naturally trust him. Doesn't Mr. Yang not trust his own soldiers?"
Yang Yuanqing smiled, he said no more, and looked at the Turkic army in the distance again. Thirty to forty thousand troops had already come out, but the large cavalry were still pouring out from Xixing Pass. It seemed that Shibi Khan was Determined to annihilate his army, a war is about to break out.
"Pass my order, the three armies should take time to rest!"
?¡
Shi Danai brought an edict from Yanmen City, leaving Taiyuan behind and distributing it to the whole country. In the edict, Yang Guang clearly promised to stop the War of Goryeo, which aroused fierce responses from counties all over the world. Soldiers and horses from all over the world gathered in Taiyuan, with more than a thousand people. , hundreds of people gathered sand to form a tower and water to form a river, rushing to the east of the river in an endless stream.
Yang Tong, the king of Yue who stayed in the capital, also appointed Yun Dingxing, the minister of the Shaofu Temple, as the general of Youtun Guard, and urgently led an army of 50,000 to the north to rescue Yanmen.
In Taiyuan City, an army of more than 50,000 people from various counties in Hedong has been assembled, led by Taiyuan deputy left-behind Wang Wei. At this time, Qu Tutong's 50,000-strong army from Yan'an County also arrived in Taiyuan. , plus more than 30,000 troops from counties in Henan and Hebei, so far, 130,000 troops have gathered in Taiyuan. As soon as Yun Dingxing's army arrives, they will head to Yanmen Junqin Wang.
In Li Yuan¡¯s mansion, Li Yuanzheng and his confidant Liu Wenjing discussed countermeasures. Li Yuan originally wanted to withhold the imperial edict brought by Shi Danai and let Yang Guang die at the hands of the Turks.The world was in chaos, but Liu Wenjing persuaded him, "The Turks may not necessarily want the Sui Emperor's order. Once the conditions are met and the emperor returns to trace the whereabouts of the order, not only will the emperor's life be in danger, but he will become an enemy of the world and his reputation will be ruined. This move is extremely dangerous." No. ¡¯
Li Yuan followed Liu Wenjing's advice, but he was still hesitant to let Wang Wei take charge. He walked a few steps with his hands behind his back: "Sir, why don't you agree with me personally leading the troops north? I think this is an opportunity for me to control the troops in Hedong." , it¡¯s a pity to give up.¡±
Liu Wenjing smiled slightly, "When the emperor was in trouble, Shu De personally led the army to rescue him. Of course he was grateful, but what happened afterwards? In the future, when things calmed down and he no longer had to worry about his life, looking back at Shu De's leadership of the army, he Will you get suspicious? Shude must be on guard."
Li Yuan nodded and sighed: "Brother Zhao Ren sees far, I almost lost my mind."
Liu Wenjing added: "Wang Wei was originally Qu Tutong's deputy general. This time, Qu Tutong was actually the leader and Wang Wei was the deputy. In this way, the Holy Emperor would not have any doubts and would only praise Shu De." The recruitment of troops is timely, and the loyalty is commendable, and the worries of the prophecy will be defeated without attacking."
Li Yuan deeply agreed. Then he thought of something again and said quickly: "Is it inappropriate for me to ask Shimin to recruit troops to participate in the rescue?"
Liu Wenjing said with a meaningful smile: "Shimin is only sixteen years old, so the Holy One will not have any suspicion. On the contrary, it shows Brother Shude's loyalty."
