Chapter 462 The military spirit of defending the city is already a little unstable
Chapter 462
In the early morning of the next day, Zhao Kang and Laizheng, the governor of Pengcheng County, came to the Jiangdu Army camp hand in hand.
Then they heard the noises and exclamations coming from inside, and the two of them looked confused.
When they saw Yang Qian, the handsome and prosperous Governor Yang Qian was already reclining on the couch.
Then, then, Governor Yang needed to rest for probably half a month because of a leg injury and a fractured bone.
I have to say that Governor Yang is really a good man and he is deeply sorry for hurting his leg.
What else could Zhao Kang, the governor of Pengcheng, say? The doctor in the military camp solemnly advised Yang Qian to stay with his bones for a hundred days.
Taishou Yang, who was still considerate, resolutely rejected the other party's unreasonable request and decided to take a break for half a month.
After half a month, even if he is unable to move, he will be carried back to Jiangdu County.
Zhao Kang naturally had nothing to say at this time. He could only wear an apologetic smile and wish Governor Yang a speedy recovery.
As for the daily supply of baggage, he himself did not dare to be short of it at all.
Compared to those who had already been punished by Yang Qian and Lai, they worked together to wipe out all the thieves and bandits in the entire Pengcheng County area.
It makes the Pengcheng area located in Huaibei appear so peaceful, peaceful and different.
Up and down Yanmen City in Yanmen County in the north, the sound of fighting resounded throughout the world. Countless Turkic warriors used crude long ladders and struggled to climb the city with scimitars in their teeth.
The Turkic archers below who were good at shooting sprayed countless arrows on the city top, one after another, seemingly endless.
Fortunately, those who were left to guard Yanmen County during the Sui Dynasty were all strong soldiers in iron armor. It was difficult for the Turks' bows and arrows to cause a fatal blow to these Sui soldiers who were almost armed to the teeth.
However, the endless tents covering the mountains and plains densely covered the outside of Yanmen City, and countless cattle and sheep for food were grazed outside the city.
It seems that all of a sudden, the area outside Yanmen City has become the paradise of the grassland people.

Lai Huer wiped his face, looked at the retreating Turks, and let out a long breath.
Next to him, Sanlang Laihong held the iron helmet on his head and sat down on the ground with a look of relief on his face.
"Father, these mountains and plains are full of Turks. Our Yanmen City is really too small."
Lai Huer glanced at the surrounding soldiers, smiled heartily, and pointed at the tall city outline.
"A small city also has its advantages. If the city is too big, the soldiers and horses in the city will not be able to defend it."
"What's more, although the city is small, it is a rare solid fortress in the northern Xinjiang during the Sui Dynasty. Since the Qin and Han Dynasties, if Yanmen is not lost, we can protect countless people behind us."
"As long as Yanmen is still in my hands, my troops from the Sui Dynasty can also come from the rear for reinforcements."
"Come, General, can we really get reinforcements?" A low-ranking officer tightened the cloth wrapped around the injured wrist and asked Lai Hu'er.
"That's natural. Your Majesty is trapped in Yanmen Pass. Who dares not to come?"
"Who knows..." A rather depressed voice came into Lai Huer's ears.
The sporadic discussions made Lai Huer frown, but he was helpless.
Looking around, the soldiers were leaning against the city wall helplessly. Almost every part of the city was soaked in blood.
Even when walking on the city wall, you may accidentally step on a broken limb or arm belonging to a Turk or a Sui soldier.
After Lai Hu'er finally got off the city wall, he staggered a little, but Lai Hong, who was quick-sighted and quick, quickly caught him.
"I'm fine, I'm just a little tired. Just go back and have a good rest." Lai Huer smiled reluctantly at Lai Hong and continued to stride forward.
"Father, these days, the resentment of the soldiers has become more and more serious. Everyone is worried about when reinforcements will arrive.
Even if the brothers hold on, after returning to the Eastern Capital, they will continue to go out to fight in various places to suppress the rebellion..."
"There are even rumors that His Majesty has secretly disguised himself as an ordinary citizen and has left Yanmen long ago."
Lai Huer's face became more and more gloomy, he paused in his steps, and his eyes fell on Goro Laihiro, who was talking cautiously.
"Aren't those generals suppressing them?"
"Father, I don't know what they think, but I also feel that everyone is working for His Majesty at the front."
"But His Majesty didn't even show his face, just to give everyone a thought. This is really..."
"Okay, I know. You, go and see if your Uncle Yu Shi is in the house. If he is, please bother him to come to the house and tell me."
"What about you, father?"
Lai Huer glared at the somewhat dull Wulang and shouted in a low voice.
"Of course I should go back and lie down for a while. My old arms and legs are about to break if I don't rest."
Lai Hu'er returned to his own house and let his own soldiers take off his armor. As soon as he lay down and laid down a stick of incense, he heard footsteps and a familiar voice coming from outside the house.
"Brother Mao Shi, why did you come so fast?"
"I was just about to come here to look for you, and I happened to meet your Wulang."
Yu Shiji walked into the house where the nurse was coming, picked up the teapot, poured a glass of water, tested the temperature and drank it all in one gulp.
"The news coming from Guo County is that Guo County has also been surrounded. Fortunately, Guo County has high walls and thick walls, and there are 20,000 elite troops led by His Highness King Qi to defend it. This ensures that Guo County is safe."
"Where are the other fortresses?" Lai Huer asked as he sat up.
"They should all be trapped." After putting down the empty cup, Yu Shiji shook his head with a bitter smile on his face.
"It's all bad news, isn't there some good news?" Lai Hu'er sat on the couch with an ashen face.
"There are also some. Your Majesty has sent the dead soldiers and quietly left the city, rushing to the Turkic royal court. I hope Princess Yicheng can try to persuade Shibi Khan to lead his commander back north."
"This is so difficult. If the Khan had no intention of putting His Majesty to death, he would not be able to bring youth to the south."
"There is also news that Yang Ning, the governor of Taiyuan County, has mobilized all the troops and horses in Taiyuan County. He claims that his army of 30,000 is heading north."
"...Thirty thousand?" Lai Hu'er looked at Yu Shiji with a dumbfounded expression. It took him a while to understand what was going on.
He couldn't help but shook his head and smiled bitterly. "We, the warriors and your majesty, all need a weak scholar to come to our rescue."
"Isn't he just here to die?"
"Even if he wanted to come, he wouldn't be able to get through. The three thousand county soldiers pretended to be 30,000 people. Naturally, they stayed hidden and remained silent, which is more of a deterrent."
"Besides that, Loufan County mobilized all its troops and defended Loufan Pass without retreating even half a step."
"That's all the news I have. Where are you, brother Chongshan?"
"The morale of the troops defending the city is a little unstable."
"What?!" Yu Shiji couldn't help but his face changed drastically, and he stood up. "Don't talk nonsense."
"How dare I talk nonsense about such a big matter? This is why I asked Sanlang to call Brother Mao Shi to come over."
