Turbulent Times Chapter 1370: Sibi Khan’s order
Pei Shiju and Yuwen Chengdu have been watching the mobilization of the Turkic army. Wang Junlin led the 20,000 Far East Army to appear suddenly, and killed 20,000 Turkic people, and led away 100,000 Turkic cavalry, making the Turkic army camp. A lot of emptiness.
The change of the Turkic army caused the defenders on the city to cheer one after another. Yuwen Chengdu and Pei Shiju were even more ecstatic.
Yuwen Chengdu moved the fastest and ran down the city tower first, but saw a large group of civil servants, guards and eunuchs surrounding Sui Emperor Yang Guang and rushing towards the city gate.
The two explosions outside the city just now were so loud that they could be heard clearly even in Yanmen City, which is more than ten miles away, not to mention the cheers of the defenders on the city. , brought people here in person.
Yu Wencheng got off his horse, walked quickly to Yang Guang, knelt down on one knee, and said loudly: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, King Qin's army has arrived. There was a battle outside the city just now, and more than 20,000 enemies were killed. The Turkic army has also temporarily retreated!"
"Yuwen Chengdu, you said that the reinforcements from King Qin are here?" Yang Guang couldn't hold back the excitement and joy in his heart, and asked extremely excitedly.
Pei Shiju, who had just come down to the city, answered first: "Your Majesty, King Qin's army has come. Not only did they kill more than 20,000 enemies, but when they retreated, they also led away 100,000 Turkic troops."
"Withdraw, why withdraw, don't they know that I am still trapped in this Yanmen City?" Yang Guang was stunned for a moment, and asked displeasedly.
Yu Wencheng quickly said: "Your Majesty, the 20,000 cavalry led by Wang Junlin came, and killed 20,000 Turkic cavalry in front of 300,000 Turkic cavalry, but the Turkic cavalry dispatched 100,000 at once. Wang Junlin temporarily retreated, and a hundred thousand Turkic cavalry also chased after him."
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, I can see clearly that it is Wang Junlin's king's flag, which means that Wang Junlin is personally leading the troops. Not only the 20,000 people, but also the main force of the Far East Army should have arrived."
"It's Wang Junlin's Far Eastern Army..." While Yang Guang was completely relieved, his face was a bit complicated. Wang Junlin's reinforcements from Duoli arrived first, so he didn't know what to say for a while
. But if you think about it carefully, besides Wang Junlin who has the courage and ability in the Sui Dynasty, who else would dare to lead the reinforcements to take the 300,000 Turkic cavalry head-on?
Yu Shiji was worried that Yang Guang was troublesome again, so he persuaded in a low voice: "Your Majesty, no matter what, Wang Junlin still admits that he is His Majesty's subject, and he has never publicly conspired against him, and even killed the rebels everywhere for His Majesty. In the face of the large-scale invasion of Turkic thieves, he was able to come in the first time, and took 20,000 people to fight against more than 300,000 Turkic people, which also proved that he was still loyal to His Majesty. Injury, so I think that there must be no unhappiness with Wang Junlin at this time. His Majesty should fight with the Far East Army to break the siege of Yanmen, and His Majesty still has a chance to fight back, defeat the Turks, and even capture Nashibi Khan alive , to avenge His Majesty for being trapped and humiliated this time."
Zhang Jike also said at the right time: "Your Majesty, although the soldiers in the city have fought the enemy bravely these few days, after all, the number of troops is limited and they cannot withstand consumption. At most five or six days, there will be no soldiers to defend the city. When Wang Junlin arrives, Dispersing a large part of the enemy's main force will inevitably greatly affect the attack of the Turkic army and buy us time. More importantly, the morale of the soldiers has been boosted and everyone has seen the hope of life. This is his credit."
Pei Shiju also said: "Your Majesty, the only one who can break the siege of Yanmen City is Wang Junlin."
Yang Guang looked at the people who were worried about his meddling, and felt extremely annoyed and humiliated in his heart. He gritted his teeth and said, "You don't need to say too much, how can I not understand that if we want to get out of danger now, most of us have to rely on Wang Junlin, I am only annoyed that Wang Rengong, Li Yuan and other reinforcements from the counties closest to Yanmen City did not show up. Wang Junlin's soldiers and horses from Fanyang County have all come, but they have never appeared. After retreating the Turks, I must punish them."
Everyone looked at each other. Under such circumstances, anyone who dares to intercede for Wang Rengong, Li Yuan and others would be looking for death, and they were also very angry with these people. After all, they were also trapped in Yanmen City. Wang Junlin came here, and people like Wang Rengong and Li Yuan were unreliable, so they would be buried with the emperor.
…
…
Surrounded by civil and military officials, Yang Guang climbed up the city wall, and the **** ground was unbearable.
The young official has never been to the city these days, so he couldn't help but vomit at this time.
Yang Guang endured the discomfort, walked to the city wall with a frown, and looked out of the city. The outside of the city was even more frightening, with corpses piled up all over the ground, broken siege ladders, and blood had already stained the moat red.
Further away, the Turkic army battalion was still covering the sky and covering the sky, and it was impossible to see the edge at a glance, but Yang Guang also saw that a Turkic army was chasing towards the south, apparently chasing Wang Junlin's Far East Army.
Yang Guang has a complex expression, no one knows what he is thinking?
Dugu Changsu, who had been seldom speaking for the past few days, suddenly said: "With Wang Junlin's means, these 100,000 Turkic cavalry dared to chase and kill them all the way. I am afraid they will never return."
Everyone was refreshed when they heard the words, even Yang Guang's eyes lit up, he nodded his head and said with a smile, "That's right, with Wang Junlin's supernatural powers, these hundred thousand Turkic cavalry are indeed in danger."
Yuwen Chengdu also looked very complicated, and he said with a look of jealousy: "Your Majesty, I believe that in a few days, the Turkic people will not only stop attacking the city, but may have to consider how to safely withdraw to the grassland."
………
………
Since Wang Junlin specially called a meeting with the commanders of the reinforcements from all walks of life, naturally there is no reason why he just led his troops to fight the Turks and did not assign tasks to other Qin Wang's reinforcements.
Wang Junlin led the men and horses to run all the way for more than 30 miles, and came to a mountain surrounded by various ravines.
When entering the entrance of a canyon, the cavalry of the Whirlwind Battalion quickly split into two, bypassed a space more than a hundred steps wide in the middle, and continued to run forward.
This scene was covered by a high amount of dust, and the Turkic cavalry who were chasing behind them didn't notice it at all.
Soon one hundred thousand Turkic cavalry chased after them, and seeing the cavalry of the Whirlwind Battalion rushing into the mountain slowed down, these Turkic cavalry shouted excitedly, and rushed in from the canyon with shouts of killing.
It is not that this Turkic cavalry did not consider that there would be an ambush by the Sui army, but on the one hand, Shibi Khan issued a death order, making them have to catch up and destroy Wang Junlin. On the other hand, they thought they had 100,000 troops, and they were not afraid of the ambush by the Sui army.
