Turbulent Times Chapter 1357: The despair of the people

(Thank you very, very much to 'Book Friends 18672397' for the support and encouragement of 5,000 coins and 11 monthly tickets.)

Considering that the Imperial Army was running for their lives, Yuwen Chengdu sent 20,000 soldiers from the county to go to the city to defend first.

The eunuchs Zhou Fangpei and Yu Shiji were also very fast. Not only did they collect food and grass from the people in just half an hour, they also forced all the strong men to the top of the city. , Ask them to burn fire oil for the county soldiers and carry rolling logs and stones. As for how many people who have never been on the battlefield will die during this process, no one will care.

At the same time, Pei Shiju, who was the supervisor of the army, ordered all the houses along the city wall to be demolished, and the bricks, wood and stones obtained were used for the defense of the city.

These houses were pushed down one by one, the girders were sawed into several sections and used as rolling logs, and the large stones for the foundation were also pried up by the soldiers and moved to the top of the city to be used as stones.

The owners of the demolished houses can no longer take care of these things, because their men are on the city wall, women, children, old and young are also busy working under the city, and they may die at any time. Who cares that their home is demolished, let alone care Use it, and whoever blocks it will be killed immediately.

On the city, 20,000 soldiers from the county were just able to defend the head of the wild goose city. The eyes of the soldiers showed fear and terror.

For many years, the Turks have never gone south with all their strength. Even when the first emperor was there, the Turks never mobilized 400,000 cavalry to go south, and all the troops came to attack a small county.

"It's all the dog emperor's fault. We're going to die this time. We're going to die first." This was the voice of the 20,000 county soldiers on the top of the city at this time. Desperate myself.

Shibi Khan obviously knew that it was impossible to capture Dayan City immediately, and he was ready for a protracted war. In addition to sending 100,000 troops to surround Yanmen City, the others set up camp five miles away. Camp tents rose from the ground, stretching for tens of miles, with no end in sight, and surrounded Yanmen City. Looking at this scene, more county soldiers and

The people feel hopeless.

The main general, Yu Wencheng, has a resolute expression, and even a smirk. He has been by the emperor's side all these years, protecting the emperor's safety. He has not had many opportunities to fight the enemy. Envious of his famous junior brother, he sometimes thinks that if he and Wang Junlin live in a different place, although he does not have as great achievements as the other party, his combat achievements should not be too bad.

Because Yu Wencheng has never experienced failure, and he has too much aura, which makes him super confident, so even if he is surrounded by 400,000 Turkic cavalry, he is not only full of confidence, he believes that he will be able to defend the Wild Goose City, but also has a sky-high killing power He intended that through this battle, everyone in the world would know that Emperor Sui still had such a peerless general beside him.

After all, the Turks were chased by cavalry first and had no siege equipment, so they did not immediately attack the city after they arrived, and the Turks were not very good at building siege equipment, so they had to build it on the spot.

"The Turkic people will probably attack several other counties first and recruit a group of craftsmen." Seeing that the Turkic people were all cavalry, Yu Wencheng became more confident about defending the city this time.

But the next scene made Yu Wencheng's face change slightly.

A group of Han people got out from nowhere, and with the help of Turkic soldiers, they began to cut down nearby trees and began to build various siege equipment.

"Damn it, where did these craftsmen come from? Judging by their appearance, they have been with the Turks for a long time." Yu Wencheng couldn't help cursing loudly.

Pei Shiju shook his head and said, "It is true that Zhang Zibin's head was beheaded by His Majesty. His five counties in Yulin County were said to be controlled by horse thieves and Liu Wuzhou, but they were actually controlled by the Turks. Pick it out and prepare it for today, not to mention that Liu Wuzhou will prepare craftsmen for him... not good."

Speaking of this, Pei Shiju remembered something, his face changed, and he said: "The Turks obviously have planned for a long time. They have prepared craftsmen in Mayi County and Yuzhong County, and they will definitely build siege equipment in advance."

Sure enough, as soon as Pei Shiju finished speaking, a group of soldiers in Sui army uniforms escorted a group of civilians and arrived with a batch of siege equipment.

"It's Liu

People from Wu Zhou. "Pei Shiju's face was serious. Turkic people who have siege equipment made by Han people and Turkic people who don't have siege equipment are completely different things. It's almost there.

"Damn Liu Wuzhou, after this sadness, I must ask His Majesty to lead the army to destroy Liu Wuzhou and take back Mayi County." Yu Wencheng gritted his teeth angrily and roared again and again.

With the siege equipment, the Turkic attack began immediately.

Before noon, with the 'boom! Boom! Boom! ’ The sound of huge war drums and the sound of low-pitched horns resounded all over the field, and 20,000 Turks on each of the four walls began to attack the city.

I don't know if it was because of the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty in Dayan City, but from the very beginning, these Turkic people seemed crazy, they rushed towards Dayan City like lunatics and vicious wolves.

Most of the Turkic soldiers held shields in their hands, and each city wall had fifty climbing ladders several feet high. The more frightened they became, and many of the people above and below the city began to cry. Some wanted to escape, but without Yuwen Chengdu's order, they were directly beheaded by the army, and the others never dared to escape again.

For these common people, the Sui army at this time is actually the same as the Turkic people outside. It is a disaster of family destruction, and even the Turkic people were originally attracted by the dog emperor.

You said that you are a stupid king who doesn't stay in the capital of Luoyang to spend time and wine, what are you doing in Yanbei?

The common people are not all stupid, they know very well that after this war, the emperor may be alive, but before the war is over, most of them will all die.

…

…

Outside the city, Turkic soldiers laid long planks on the moat two feet wide and used it as a bridge. Twenty thousand Turkic troops rushed to each side of the city. He got down, held a bow and arrow, and began to shoot arrows wildly into the city. Another 10,000 Turkic soldiers continued to rush towards the city wall.
