Chapter 22 City Break

Wang Junlin will sneak into the Turkic camp tonight and put the remaining poison in the water bag into the water they drink.

These three thousand Turks did not trust anyone except themselves, and the appearance of Turks and Han people was too different. Although Zhou Hu and other scouts were good, they could not sneak into the Turks and poison them. Only Wu

Third, Wu Si and Wang Junlin have the strength to sneak into the enemy camp, so it is up to them to take the risk.





The next day, at dawn, Yujuluo ordered the Sui army to start attacking the city, and it was more violent than yesterday and regardless of losses. What made Yuguluo's face more and more ugly was that the soldiers of the Gotao tribe who were guarding the city seemed to be worried.

As if possessed by a demon, no matter how many died, the morale of the remaining people was extremely high. The Sui army attacked the city several times, but was blocked by the Ge Dao tribe desperately. He even saw it from a distance.

Several members of the Ge Dao tribe jumped off the city together with the Sui troops who had attacked the city, and died together.

Throughout the morning, arrows were pierced through the bones above and below the city, the sound of murder was heard in the sky, and corpses were strewn everywhere...

The wide and wet moat was filled with corpses, both noble and lowly, all withered bones... The cold wind blew in our faces, and there were still bursts of bloody air, which showed the fierce fighting between the two armies for a day and a half.

Yu Juluo and the Sui generals never expected that the Longxi City held by the soldiers of the Ge Dao tribe would be so difficult to break. Every general and officer knew the urgency of the current situation, and they all tried their best to send the most important troops under their command without reservation.

Elite troops were deployed and killed many enemy troops defending the city, but they could not break the city.

Failure to break Longxi City within three days means that Jincheng County's 80,000-strong army is defeated, and it also means that Jincheng County and Longxi County fall into the hands of the enemy. This is the biggest defeat since the founding of the Sui Dynasty. No one can bear such a result.

, even Yu Juluo cannot bear it, unless he can take back Longxi and Jincheng counties within two months, and severely damage the enemy army. Otherwise, many generals, including Yu Juluo, will suffer disaster, ranging from beheading to jail at worst.

Then he will be demoted and demoted. This is a result that no one wants to see.

The casualties were too heavy, and the siege was pushed too hard and too fast. The morale of the Sui army had been greatly affected. Yu Juluo had to order a suspension of the siege, and the Sui army retreated like a tide. The armies of both sides were busy starting.

Eat and rest, waiting for the fierce battle in the afternoon.

"Everyone, I don't need to say more about what the situation is now. If Longxi City cannot be conquered today, once the Jincheng defenders are defeated tomorrow, nearly 300,000 Turkic and Tuyuhun troops will march straight in. Jincheng and Longxi will be lost, and nearly

Millions of people have become slaves of foreign races. None of us can bear this consequence." In the Sui army commander's tent, Yu Juluo said with a heavy heart, his eyes red, his face extremely gloomy.

The faces of the generals Eagle and Yanglang were also extremely ugly, but with only a day and a half left, no matter how brave they were and how clever they were, they really couldn't think of a way to break the city.

Although he didn't have much hope, seeing that no one said a word, Yu Juluo still sighed with great disappointment and said: "I have decided to select a thousand men who dare to die from among my own soldiers. You can go back, or

Select five hundred brave men from among their own soldiers who dare to die, and gather these six thousand people in one place, trying to break through the gap and capture Longxi City. This is the only way I can think of, and it may also be our last way.

.I hope you can select the most heroic soldiers among your personal guards."

All the eagles and heroes knew the seriousness of the matter, and they all swore that they would never show favoritism.

However, at this moment, a scream suddenly came from outside the tent, and then the scream gradually increased, and finally turned into an earth-shattering cheer.

Yu Juluo and the Eagle Yanglang generals were all surprised and confused. Yu Juluo shouted: "What's the noise outside?"

Pei Yuanqing, the deputy commander of the soldiers, opened the curtain and rushed in. With a look of ecstasy and disbelief on his face, he knelt down on one knee and excitedly said loudly: "To the Commander-in-Chief, Longxi City has been destroyed?"

"What did you say?" Yu Juluo and almost all the Ying Yang Lang generals asked in unison, suspecting that they heard wrongly.

"The south gate of Longxi City was opened. The defenders at the top of the city seemed to have been poisoned one by one. They all staggered on the top of the city and fell down. Some even fell off the top of the city." Pei Yuanqing was startled by the generals.

, said quickly, it’s just that this thing is too weird, and he doesn’t know how to explain it.

"Quick, pass the order. The cavalry will charge towards the south city gate. Hurry up." Yu Juluo and his generals rushed out of the commander's tent. Looking around, it was as Pei Yuanqing said. The south city gate was wide open, and the city guard was guarding the city gate.

The soldiers could no longer see anyone standing, so they gave the order decisively.

"Commander, could it be a conspiracy of the enemy?" General Ying Yang said with some hesitation.

"What kind of stupid trick will open the city gate." Another general Ying Yanglang said.

Everyone thinks so too!

Before the Sui army's cavalry could put down their bowls and chopsticks, mount their horses and charge, a cavalryman rushed out of the south city gate and galloped towards the Sui army's camp.

"It's Wang Junlin!" Pei Yuanqing and Guo Shubiao, who were standing not far from Yujuluo, shouted at the same time.

"Send the order for him to come over. The cavalry continues to rush into Longxi City at the fastest speed." Yu Juluo ordered.

Soon, Wang Junlin came ten steps away from Yu Juluo and others, dismounted at full speed, ran quickly to Yu Juluo, knelt down on one knee and saluted in the march, and said loudly: "The fifth fire chief of the humble waiting team

Wang Junlin, under the orders of the Governor, led 20 scouts under his command and sneaked into Longxi City. He successfully rescued General Manager Dugu and poisoned the enemy troops in the city with poison. He was able to capture Longxi City. He came to return his orders and invited the Governor to enter the city.

."

Yu Juluo and the other generals had already been dumbfounded, ecstatic and unbelievable. But the fact was before their eyes, and they couldn't believe it, because at this time, the Sui cavalry who was running at the front had already rushed into the city.

, and climbed to the top of the city, planted the Sui army flag, and sent a signal to this side.

Yu Juluo stepped forward in person, helped Wang Junlin up with both hands, and said excitedly: "You are very good. I really did not misjudge the person. I will definitely reward you generously and personally repay you for your great achievements."

The imperial court, please give me credit to your majesty."

Wang Junlin was also ecstatic and said loudly: "Thank you very much, Commander-in-Chief."

Yu Juluosui said loudly: "Pass my order, Liu Fang and Pei Wuqing will lead 30,000 cavalry to rush to Jincheng County for support, leaving 10,000 infantry in the first prefecture to guard the city and kill the remaining enemies.

After resting and recuperating, you can set off and march quickly to Jincheng County."

The generals still had too many questions in their minds, but it was not the time to ask them at this time. They bowed to accept their orders, then looked deeply at Wang Junlin, memorizing his voice and appearance, and left in a hurry.

King Bodo would never let himself be surrounded by the Sui army in order to kill the poisoner. Therefore, after all the defenders in the city were poisoned, he knew that the situation was over. Although he was extremely sad and angry, he took a fluke at the first opportunity.

Wu Tu, who was not poisoned, and the three hundred Turkic soldiers responsible for guarding him escaped from the north city gate.

As for another expert in the city, the Taoist priest who climbed out of the sarcophagus was injured and hid in a private house in Longxi City to recuperate. When he came out after recovering from his injuries, he found that Longxi City had changed its owner.

The person he was looking for had already left Longxi City with the army and headed for Jincheng County.



People usually call Jincheng County simply Jincheng. The offensive and defensive battles in Jincheng were extremely fierce. The defenders of the Sui Dynasty were composed of President Chen Sansi, the governor of Jincheng County, Yuwen Junchi, the Yingyanglang general of Jincheng County, Li Luoge, the Yingyanglang general of Longxi County, and Tianshui.

Jun Ying Yanglang and Han Ziliang assisted the three men. There were originally 80,000 people, but after more than ten days of fighting, there were less than 50,000.

As for the Western Turks, on the Tuyuhun side, the Western Turkic Chuluo Khan personally marched and commanded 200,000 Turkic cavalry. The 50,000 Tuyuhun cavalry who first attacked Jincheng County were no longer outside Jincheng County at this time, but dispersed the army.

They came, burned, killed and looted in every county, town and village in Jincheng County.

Because we know that the most powerful general Yu Juluo in the Sui Dynasty commanded 100,000 elites and was attacking Longxi City, which was occupied by the Turks and the Godot tribe. At this time, time is particularly important. As long as the Sui army can hold on until Yu Juluo's army comes for reinforcements,

Then the siege can be relieved. Similarly, if the Turkic army captures Jincheng before Yuguluo captures Longxi City, it will mean a disastrous defeat for the Sui army.

Therefore, as early as five days ago, the Western Turk Chuluo Khan divided his army into two waves and ordered a fierce attack on Jincheng County day and night. The Sui army defenders in the city naturally divided into two waves to defend. But because they knew the retreat was blocked,

Fortunately, the Jincheng County governors Chen Sansi and Yuwen Junchi, Li Luoge and Han Ziliang are all capable ministers, and they cooperate sincerely, so they can barely support it until now.

Since the Western Turks took over the defense and siege as agreed, the offensive and defensive battle has entered the sixth day. The Western Turk army has successively deployed 200,000 troops to attack Jincheng County, resulting in more than 50,000 casualties, while the 80,000 Sui troops defending the city suffered casualties.

There are nearly 30,000 people. Although the city has not been broken, it is still weak. It can last for half a day at most, and the city may be broken at any time during this half day.

'Boom! Boom! Boom!'

Outside Jincheng, drums were beating like thunder, and there were ten thousand Turkic soldiers on each side of the city walls, carrying siege ladders and rushing toward the city wall like a tide towards Jincheng County. When they were more than a hundred steps away, arrows from both sides were in the air, blocking the sky and the sun.

They generally flew around, shouting kills, and screams mixed together, one after another. Compared with the various sharp weapons used by the Sui army when they attacked Longxi, except for ladders, the Turkic soldiers only had shields that could withstand the Sui army's attack at the top of the city.

Therefore, every time a siege ladder was put up on the city wall, hundreds of people died, but the Turks always pressed forward and charged upward crazily.

There were corpses all over the city. The morale of the Sui army at the city head was obviously much lower than that of the Turks. If it weren't for Yuwen Junchi, Li Luoge and Han Ziliang, the three Yingyanglang generals would use their own soldiers and fight with the Jincheng County prefect.

Chen Sansi was responsible for each of the city walls and personally supervised the battle. He even took the lead in the fight and was defeated long ago.
