Chapter 1354: The Sui Emperor who fled in embarrassment
"Eagle!"
Following the team leader's order, two flying eagles unique to the Far Eastern Army flew out of the cages they carried and circled several times over the forest. One flew east and the other flew south.
The flying eagle flying east circled a few times at the border between Youzhou and the original Bingzhou, and swooped down. Here there was a cavalry of 20,000 people marching silently, neither too fast nor too slow. It was the best way to maintain physical strength, but
A marching method that can also guarantee a certain marching speed.
Yes, this cavalry was the Cyclone Battalion of the Far Eastern Army led by Wang Junlin. The flying eagle landed on Luo Shixin's arm on Wang Junlin's side. Not long after, the two of them read the above information one after another.
There were 400,000 Turkic cavalry. Even Luo Shixin had a solemn look on his face and gritted his teeth and said: "The Turks have indeed moved south. The 400,000 cavalry are already all the cavalry that the Turks in the north can dispatch at once! It seems that the Turks have been plotting against the Dog Emperor for a long time!
"
Wang Junlin said with a complex expression: "Yang Guang has become so confused now that he came to the border in person and refused to send spies to the Turks."
"Your Majesty, should we speed up the march?" Luo Shixin didn't care at all about the emperor's life or death. What he cared about was that he could finally fight against the legendary Turkic cavalry. As for the opponent's 400,000 horses, there was a huge disparity in strength compared to his own side.
Beside him, he wasn't afraid at all.
Wang Junlin shook his head and said: "No need to speed up, 400,000 Turkic cavalry, even 20,000 of us can't stop it. The emperor's 100,000 forbidden troops are guarding the city. They can hold it for a month no matter what. When the king's soldiers and horses from all walks of life arrive, we
We’ve arrived just in time.”
…
…
Some time in the morning, another flying eagle landed at the Lanyi Guards Branch Office in Yulin County. After reading the information, Ma Yidao, the Bluetooth Guard Commander in charge of the branch office, was shocked and personally rode to the inspection team of more than 100,000 people led by Yang Guang.
Gallop away.
When Yang Guang's car was still sixty miles away from Yulin County, Ma Yidao rushed over.
At this time, Yang Guang's patrol army was not moving very fast, guarding the huge Liuhe City and moving slowly towards the northwest of Yulin County City.
Ma Yidao led several cavalrymen to rush from the west. A group of patrolling Forbidden Army immediately stepped forward to intercept and shouted: "Who are you, trespassing on the Holy Land?"
Ma Yidao cupped his hands and said: "I am the commander of Yulin County, Blue Guards, and I have urgent information to report to the Holy Majesty!"
"What's up?"
"The Turkic army of 400,000 is heading towards Yulin County. Please make an emergency retreat, Your Majesty!"
The patrolling imperial guard was shocked, his face changed greatly, and he shouted: "Commander Ma, come with me to see the Holy One!"
Ma Yidao followed the imperial guard and ran towards Liuhe City...
No one dared to delay such a big thing. Ma Yidao met Yang Guang soon. After listening to Ma Yidao's report, Yang Guang's expression changed. About 400,000 Turkic troops were heading towards Yulin County...
At the scene, Pei Shiju, Yu Shiji and other ministers also changed their expressions. Yu Shiji quickly said: "Your Majesty, quickly turn around and retreat."
Pei Shiju's eyes flashed. If Yang Guang retreated and fled for his life, and the forty Turkic cavalry chased him, the northern counties would be completely destroyed. And when they heard that the Pei family would not be able to escape the disaster, he immediately gritted his teeth and said: "Ten million
No, there are hundreds of thousands of people patrolling the north. In addition to the hundreds of thousands of forbidden troops, there are also people from His Majesty's harem, and most of the ministers are civil servants. It is already too late, and the retreat cannot be made quickly. I think we should speed up to Yulin County to seize the city immediately.
And defend, and send messengers to ask for help from all the counties in the world. As long as we persist for a few days, General Wang Rengong will come with King Qin's army."
Yang Guang is still hesitating. He can abandon everyone else and evacuate southward with the protection of a hundred thousand forbidden troops. But the people in the harem can be abandoned, but most of the courtiers cannot be abandoned!
At this moment, there was a sound of running outside the royal study, and a guard reported outside the door: "Your Majesty, there is urgent news from the defenders of Yulin County. Hundreds of thousands of Turkic cavalry have been found in the north, and they are heading towards Yulin County. It is most likely that they are
By going around the Great Wall, we are less than a hundred miles away from Yulin County."
"The Turkic thieves are so fast." Yang Guang stood up suddenly, a flash of determination flashed in his eyes, and shouted: "Quick, retreat south as fast as possible!"
The expressions of the ministers suddenly changed. This was the emperor's intention to abandon them.
Pei Shiju showed a calm and decisive look at this time and said: "Your Majesty, the Turks are coming for you. At this time, the only way to survive is to enter the city. Sooner or later, if you retreat hastily, you will be overtaken by the Turks."
Yang Guang's expression changed drastically and he said: "It's too late to go to Yulin City. We will be stopped halfway."
Jingtian, who had been silent all this time, said: "Your Majesty, this place is less than a hundred miles away from Yanmen County. Moreover, it can also increase the distance from the Turkic army and buy time."
Yuwen Chengdu also said loudly: "Your Majesty, Master Jing is right, go to Yanmen County!"
At this time, Yang Guang was already in despair. When his two confidants Jingtian and Yuwen Chengdu made suggestions, Yang Guang agreed repeatedly and shouted: "Go to Yanmen County!"
The Turkic army of 400,000 is already a hundred miles away from the border of Yulin County. According to their speed, they can catch up with the Northern Patrol in half a day. How dare Yang Guang dare to build Liuhe City again? He abandoned Liuhe City and changed it to horseback riding.
The army abandoned all kinds of sundries and baggage and fled southward in panic. Some weak palace maids and eunuchs were abandoned directly and left behind, crying non-stop.
Some ministers who could not ride horses had their own guards who fought hard to ride with them and did not fall behind.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong, five thousand cavalry from each of the five counties of Yulin County came to intercept us." At this time, Yuwen Chengdu had naturally sent spies out, and soon the spies also brought bad news.
Yang Guang regained his composure at this time, and immediately ordered five confidant generals of the Forbidden Army, each with 5,000 men and horses to intercept these five groups of blocking thieves. In addition, he sent 5,000 forbidden troops to intercept the main force of the Turks. It would take some time to stop them.
After a while, these five thousand people naturally left and never returned.
Half an hour later, Yang Guang received news that the 400,000 Turkic army had chased them 60 miles away. The 5,000 Sui army that intercepted the Turkic army had been completely wiped out. The other five forbidden soldiers stopped the five groups of thieves.
Yang Guang couldn't care less that he was exhausted and ran away to Yanmen County in the south. The concubines and ministers in the team couldn't care either. Most of them had already been pulled down and they couldn't run fast at all. If this continued, they would definitely be defeated by the Turkic army before dawn.
catch up.
The emperor and his men ran wildly along the way. At the fourth watch, they passed Yanmen and entered Yanmen County.
When Yang Guang came to the throne ten years ago, Yanmen County City was seriously damaged by Yang Liang and Gao Ying's rebellion. It was later rebuilt. The rebuilt Yanmen County City Wall was tall and strong, with a circumference of twenty-five miles.
It was a big city with a population of several thousand households and more than 70,000 people. Yang Guang rushed into the county town like a gust of wind, and then he calmed down a little. Most of the officials also entered the city under the desperate protection of the guards, but some were older.
I rushed all the way down, but I already lost half my life.
