Chapter 474: Forced to Order

At this moment, the door was slammed open, and Yuwen Chengdu rushed in with a shield in his left hand and a phoenix-winged gilt pistol in his right hand, shouting: "Your Majesty, please leave with your humble position!" ”

He used his body and shield to block the arrows that were shot intensively, Yang Guang hurriedly held his son and hid behind Yuwen Chengdu, the three of them ran out of the door, the yard was like a wheat field, full of dense arrows, everywhere were the guards who were shot to death, blood flowed all over the ground, a total of thirty-three thousand cattle were prepared, all died under the arrows, only Yang Guang and his son escaped.

At this time, a large group of guards rushed from outside the courtyard, and they quickly formed a shield formation, escorting Yang Guang and his son to run along the alley to the north of the county government, which was not affected by the Turkic arrow array for the time being.

Yang Guang was shocked for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "Where is the queen?" ”

"Your Majesty, the queen is safe, hiding in a private house."

Yang Guang breathed a sigh of relief and walked into the county office, only to see that almost all the high-ranking officials were hiding here, they gathered in the courtyard, talking and talking, one by one anxious, Yang Guang walked into the gate, and the courtyard was quiet for a while.

At this time, Yu Shiji hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, "Your Majesty, the situation is a little bad, I have something to discuss with Your Majesty!" ”

Yang Guang sighed, "A few Xiangguo came to the inner hall to discuss!" ”

In the inner hall, Yang Guang sat tiredly on the couch of the county order, and several important ministers stood on both sides, Pei Ju, Xiao Yu, Yu Shiji, Wei Xuan, the secretary of the Ministry of War, Fan Zigai, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and Qu Tutong, the general.

Yang Guang sighed and said to Pei Ju: "I regret not listening to Pei Gong's words, so I ended up in today's embarrassment, and now it's too late to regret it!" ”

Pei Ju was also secretly shocked that Zhang Xuan's report was accurate, but he couldn't say it clearly, so he had to comfort: "Your Majesty doesn't have to blame yourself, it's really hard to think that the dignified Khan's dignity would act so despicably." At this point, I believe that our army will definitely hold the city. ”

Yang Guang didn't want the army to hold the city, he turned his eyes to Qu Tutong again, and asked, "General Qu Tu, how is the situation of the army defending the city?" ”

Qu Tutong hurriedly bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, the Turkic army has only been attacking the city for three days. The defending army has suffered more than 8,000 casualties, and tens of thousands of people have been killed and wounded, although we have killed countless enemies, but the enemy army has too many troops to kill, and the morale of the brothers is low, and the morale of the army is unstable, I am afraid"

"Is General Qu Tu saying that the city can't be defended?" Yang Guang asked with great concern.

"I suggest that Your Majesty select thousands of elites and break through and kill them!"

"No!"

Pei Ju shouted: "We still have the strength to defend the city." But light riding is the advantage of the Turks, and His Majesty is the king of all vehicles, how can he easily go out of the city and take risks! ”

Fan Zigai next to him said: "Pei Gong is right, sticking to the city is the way to preserve, but General Qu Tu's worries are also reasonable, now the morale is low, the army's morale is unstable, we must boost morale." As the saying goes, there must be brave men under heavy rewards, and Weichen suggested that the three armies should be rewarded with heavy knights. Killing one person can be a viscount, killing ten people can be an earl, killing a hundred people can be a county duke, and so on, if you can kill a Turkic Khan, you can be crowned a king. If you unfortunately die in battle, the title can be passed on to your descendants, and I believe that the soldiers will fight bravely one by one, and morale will not be a problem. ”

Yang Guang's face became very ugly, and he held back his anger and did not attack. He turned back to Xiao Yu and asked, "What does Xiao Xiangguo think?" ”

Xiao Yu was an upright person, he didn't realize the anger in Yang Guang's heart, and thought that the Son of Heaven had been moved, so he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Weichen agrees with Fan Shangshu's suggestion, it is extremely difficult for soldiers to obtain titles, once military merit and titles are connected, soldiers will definitely be willing to serve Your Majesty to the death, but Weichen feels that this is only one aspect." ”

"And then the other way around?"

"Wechen feels that morale is only temporary, the key is to reinforce the army, the Turkic 300,000 cavalry, we only have more than 100,000 people, not enough to fight to the death with the Turks, Wechen suggested that His Majesty issued an edict to King Qin, and ordered the army from all over the world to come to Yanmen Pass King Qin."

Yang Guang's face became more and more ugly, if he was under the edict of the king, wouldn't the counties of the world take the opportunity to recruit troops, and his painstaking efforts to disband the local army would be ruined, but he also knew in his heart that this time the Turks had been planning for a long time, hundreds of thousands of troops were besieging, if he did not work under the edict of the king, I am afraid that he would really die here.

He looked at Pei Ju again, and asked in a hoarse voice, "What about Pei Gong's suggestion?" ”

Pei Ju sighed, "Your Majesty, Fan Shangshu and Xiao Xiangguo's suggestions can be considered. ”

Yang Guang's heart suddenly cooled by half, and a shrewd and spicy person like Pei Ju agreed, which also explained the crisis of the situation, and he asked in a trembling voice: "Pei Gong, is there no other way?" ”

"Your Majesty, there is also the need to send brave warriors to fight their way out of the encirclement and ask Princess Yicheng for help, but the distance is too far, and the old minister is worried that it will be too late."

At this time, Yang Guang saw Yu Shiji winking at him, so he nodded and said, "You can let General Yuwen fight his way out of the encirclement and ask Princess Yicheng for help, and as for the other two plans, let me think about it." ”

The world's first fierce general Li Xuanba was sick and stayed in Taiyuan, Yang Guang only had the world's second fierce general Yuwen Chengdu by his side, and he could only rely on Yuwen Chengdu to fight out of the encirclement to ask for help, he instructed Wei Xuan to arrange Yuwen Chengdu to kill out of the city for help, and waved his hand, and everyone retired together.

Yu Shiji didn't leave, and when everyone was gone, Yang Guangcai asked, "What is Yu Xiangguo's attitude?" ”

Yu Shiji pondered for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, although the suggestions of Fan and Xiao have great hidden dangers, but now that the matter has come, Wechen can only agree, but Wechen feels that there is a workaround. ”

Yang Guang's spirits perked up, this was what he wanted to hear, and he hurriedly asked, "What is the workaround?" ”

"Your Majesty, the title can only be obtained by the founding fathers or those who have made high achievements in the world, and so far only dozens of people have obtained it, tens of thousands of people defending the city, if you kill an enemy, you will be knighted, isn't it tens of thousands of people to get the title, this is not fair to the founding fathers, Wechen suggested that Your Majesty can agree first, and then discuss it afterwards, or give it a medal, and those who are insufficient will be rewarded with money and food, even if the soldiers will have a little resentment, but at least it is much better than destroying the law, Wechen thought, they get the honors and rewards, and their mentality can be a little calmer."

Yang Guang nodded again and again, although the Son of Heaven pays attention to Chrysostom, but Yang Guang does not take his promises to heart many times, such as last year's Heroes Club, he first promised the top ten fierce generals the position of generals, and in the end he did not admit his promise at all, and only gave the title of a fierce general.

Yu Shiji's suggestion can be said to have reached his heart, he thought about it and asked, "What about King Qin's edict?" ”

Originally, Weichen considered only summoning soldiers from all over the country to guard the king of Qin, and the county guards did not need to be king, but he was afraid that the guards from all over the country had different aspirations and did not want to be king, which would make the order of King Qinwang fail, so Weichen also agreed to order the king of Qin, and as many troops as possible rushed to King Qin, to put pressure on the Turks.

Weichen means that he first lifted the siege and retreated the Turkic army, and then considered how to cut off the army recruited by the county Taishou at the opportunity, Weichen felt that he could supervise the disbandment of the army in each county by means of imperial history inspection, as long as His Majesty's power of the Son of Heaven is still there, all places dare not disobey! ”

Yu Shiji's two remedial plans are the same meaning, first promised down, and then retracted the promise, Yang Guang was finally moved, he immediately issued two orders, one is the merit order, in exchange for the title of military merit, followed by the order of the king of the world, for a time, the morale of the army was greatly boosted, all of them fought bravely to kill the enemy, and fought for the precious title, at the same time, several letter eagles carried the order of the king of Qin in the world and flew away in the direction of Taiyuan and Luoyang

When night fell, the Turkic army, which had been attacking for three days and three nights, was also a little tired, and the morale of the Sui army was greatly boosted, causing heavy casualties to the Turkic army, and tens of thousands of elite soldiers were killed in just three days.

Shibi Khan was really a little distressed, he also knew that the city was eager to be taken, but fortunately, he knew that the other party did not have much food, and he could use the method of trapping the other party, and when the Sui army was cut off from food, the city would naturally not be attacked.

Hundreds of thousands of Turkic troops set up joint camps from the east, west and south, and besieged the county seat of Yanmen.

Inside the South City Gate, Yuwen Chengdu has been cleaned up, he wears fine scale armor, a coat of bright light armor, an eagle helmet, and a phoenix winged gilt boring, but he did not ride his own beloved horse Demon Lin Beast, but rode a Dawan horse given to him by the Son of Heaven, this Dawan horse is extremely fast and can travel long distances, which is very suitable for breaking through and asking for help.

"General, are you ready?" A captain of the city guard asked in a low voice.

Yuwen Chengdu nodded, and the captain waved his hand, "Open the city gate!" ”

The huge city gate creaked and opened a crack, Yuwen Chengdu rode to the outside of the city, he stood on a high place and looked down, only to see the fire of the enemy camp like a fire dragon lying on the ground, the momentum is very spectacular, it makes people feel cold.

Yuwen Chengdu's eyes narrowed, he screamed wildly, urged the horse to kill in the direction of the southwest corner, the war horse galloped, and soon rushed to the front of the enemy camp, the Turkic soldiers were caught off guard, it was too late to release arrows, hundreds of people raised their spears to kill him.

Yuwen Chengdu waved a big boring, the five heads in front of him were smashed, and more than a dozen soldiers who blocked the way were sent out, Yuwen Chengdu roared angrily, only to see the Turkic soldiers' bodies broken, flesh and blood flying, and pieces of enemy troops were killed by him like mowing grass, and he killed more than 100 people in an instant, and the blood stained his battle robes red.

Yuwen Chengdu rode over the heads of dozens of soldiers and slashed into the depths of the Turkic camp...... (To be continued.) )
