Half an hour later, in the Cangmen County Government Office Hall, Wang Junlin was sitting on the main seat, and Wang Rengong was sitting on the first seat on Wang Junlin's left hand. The commanders of all the armies saluted Wang Junlin one by one with clasped fists, and then they were ranked according to their rank.
, sat down one by one, no one dared to be disrespectful to Wang Junlin.
Wang Junlin did not show too much attention to Li Shimin, but in fact half of his attention was on Li Shimin. There was no way that this person could be compared to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty according to his original historical development, and he was the most awesome one.
Such a character cannot be ignored even if you want to.
"Li Shimin, the humble Eagle Striker General of Taiyuan County, paid homage to the prince." In fact, Li Shimin, who was only 17 or 18 years old, was more respectful than anyone present when he saluted Wang Junlin. He was wearing a black-leaf rhinoceros leather armor, with his head
Wearing a black-gold helmet with a raised brim, he knelt down on one knee and saluted Wang Junlin with military courtesy.
Wang Junlin smiled and nodded to Li Shimin, saying: "Shimin, you don't have to be polite, Duke Tang is okay! Why didn't you lead the troops in person?"
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Li Shimin stood up with his fists clasped, his movements completely naked. When he looked at Wang Junlin, there was even a hint of admiration in his eyes. No one would doubt his respect for Wang Junlin.
"My father had a serious illness half a month ago and is still bedridden, so I humbled myself and led the troops to serve the king on my father's behalf." Li Shimin replied respectfully.
Wang Junlin knew that Li Shimin was not lying, that Li Yuan was indeed ill, and according to the information Guo'er told him, Li Yuan fell ill after Yang Guang visited Taiyuan on his northern tour and met Yang Guang.
According to the information obtained by the Military Intelligence Bureau, Li Yuan was frightened by Yang Guang and was on the verge of life and death. In addition, Li Yuan worked too hard during this period, so he fell ill. Of course, there may be other reasons, such as his
I met the Turkic envoy secretly and did anything I felt guilty for.
"Oh! Mr. Tang is actually so seriously ill. I know some medical skills. Why don't you send someone to send a message to Mr. Tang and ask him to come to Dayan County, and I will personally treat him." Wang Junlin said with concern.
Li Shimin quickly clasped his fists and bowed: "Thank you, Your Majesty. My father just has some cold, and I think he will recover after a period of recovery."
"That's good." Wang
Jun Lin nodded, and Li Shimin stepped aside and sat down in his seat.
After everyone else came forward to salute, Wang Junlin turned his head to Wang Rengong and said, "How are you, General Wang?"
"Your Majesty, I am concerned that I am in good health, but I failed to guard the country's gates for your majesty, allowing the Turks to kill me, and putting your majesty in danger. I will feel that I have committed a serious crime. I hope that your majesty can lead us to rescue your majesty.
"Wang Rengong looked decadent, but what he said was very sincere. When he said it was best, he stood up and bowed deeply to Wang Junlin. It could be seen that he did feel guilty in his heart and wanted to rescue Yang Guang.
Wang Junlin could actually understand Wang Rengong's psychology. Wang Rengong was not from a wealthy family. He was able to become a general because he was promoted and promoted by Yang Guang. Yang Guang was kind to him and he fought bravely before attacking Goguryeo.
Even invincible, he is a fierce general and has handsome talents.
But the Battle of Goguryeo was a huge blow to him. Coupled with the current state of the Sui Dynasty, he was discouraged and just wanted to spend the rest of his life comfortably. Such a person should find a casual job to support his retirement, not
It is placed in such an important position as the Zhenbei Camp, and there are 100,000 people under its command who were originally the most elite men in the Sui Dynasty. As the saying goes, "a group of generals will be cowardly." It will take at least several years for a large army to become an elite, but if you want to
It's easier to collapse.
The troops in the Zhenbei Camp were led by a veteran who did not seek advancement, and their combat effectiveness dropped drastically.
"Don't worry, General Wang. Now that I have arrived in Yanmen County, I will never let the Turks hurt Your Majesty." Wang Junlin said calmly.
Wang Rengong hesitated for a moment and said: "Your Majesty has always had great magical powers, and the Turks are naturally no match for your Majesty. However, the Turks are coming with great force, and they use 400,000 cavalry. The general must not underestimate the enemy!"
Wang Junlin nodded and said: "Old General Wang reminds us that we cannot underestimate the enemy."
After a pause, Wang Junlin said again: "However, the situation in Yanmen City is serious. Since King Qin's army has arrived, I will take people to go around and show my face to give your Majesty and the defenders in Yanmen City confidence.
Otherwise, Yanmen City will be captured before we can defeat the Turks."
…
…
The offensive and defensive battle of Yanmen City was extremely fierce. After Yang Guang personally made a wish to the more than 80,000 defenders,
The morale of the Sui army has improved a lot. In addition, there are Turks outside. It is no better to surrender than the civil strife of the Great Sui Dynasty. When the Turks fight to this extent, according to past practice, after the city is broken, the city is usually massacred, so the defenders
Even in order to survive, he tried his best to defend the city.
The offensive and defensive battle has entered the seventh day. At the beginning, Khan has ordered more than 200,000 troops to attack Yanmen City. There have been nearly 70,000 casualties. The 80,000 Sui army defending the city have all been invested. At the beginning, there were still
The extra troops were able to take turns resting, but by now all of them were standing on top of the city, because the 80,000 defenders were already less than 40,000, and the casualties were extremely heavy.
Fortunately, Yanmen City was never captured.
'Boom! Boom! Boom!'
Huge attack drums sounded outside Yanmen City, and 40,000 Turkic troops carrying more than 200 siege ladders surged toward Yanmen City. Arrows formed a rain of arrows in the air, and it was difficult to distinguish the top of the city from the top of the city.
Under the city, shouts of killing arose one after another. The Turkic army held up their shields, put up siege ladders on the city wall, and charged upward crazily.
Dead bodies were everywhere on the city top, and the Sui soldiers defending the city were still resisting desperately. Emperor Yang Guang's promises and rewards gave the soldiers great courage. Their morale was high and they fought to the death. After several days and nights of bloody fighting, they
I have gradually figured out some ways to deal with the Turks' siege, and I have gradually become numb to the battlefield. I no longer have any fear, and I can only focus on killing the enemy.
However, the Turks were able to maintain their physical strength by taking turns to attack. Now that the Sui army's strength had decreased sharply, it was no longer possible to take turns to defend the city, so they could not maintain their physical strength. Moreover, the Turkic army attacked day and night and deliberately did not give the defenders in the city a rest.
As time passed, the Sui army's physical strength and spirit became increasingly unable to keep up.
However, in this way, the Turks' losses will be greatly increased in a short period of time. However, Shibi Khan had a good reason for issuing this order. It was to break through Yanmen City as soon as possible and capture the Sui Emperor as soon as possible. Otherwise, he would have to wait until the Sui Dynasty
After King Qin's reinforcements arrived, it wasn't that easy.
Especially today, after Cangmen County was easily recaptured by Wang Junlin, and only a few hundred of the 20,000 defenders returned, it put great pressure on the Turkic leaders and generals, as well as the Turkic soldiers below, and the siege of the city became increasingly difficult.
Crazy, Khan even ordered 10,000 golden wolf guards to supervise the battle. Once the soldiers who did not attack bravely were discovered, they would of course be killed.
