Chapter 416
Yang Guang, standing above the city wall, saw a sudden arrow flying in the darkness. He had arrived in front of him in an instant.
At this time, most of the more than 100 guards around Yang Guang had been left on various sections of the city walls by Yang Guang. At this time, there were only twenty or thirty people around him, most of them were exhausted physically and mentally.[]
In the chaos, when I discovered the arrow flying under the city, it was too late to block it.
At a critical moment, Princess Izumo Yang Jier, who was holding a handkerchief to wipe Yang Guang's sweat, also found the razor arrow. At the critical moment, Yang Jier hugged Yang Guang's body without any hesitation, turned around and blocked Yang Guang's face with her own body.
"Bor!" The crossbow arrow shot into Yang Ji'er's back heart, and most of the long arrow fell into his body, leaving only a small section outside.
Yang Guang only felt the body of his precious daughter Yang Ji'er in his arms tremble, and he thrust hard, and he took a few steps back. He looked down and Izumo was already as white as paper. The princess looked up at Yang Guang and said, "Be careful, Father." Before he finished speaking, a mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth. When his eyes closed, he fainted.
All this happened so quickly that when the guards wanted to block it, it was too late. Looking at the princess's light helmet, a large area of back center was stained with blood.
"Protect Your Majesty!" Yu Wenhua and his face were sweating like rain when they saw the princess who helped the emperor block an arrow just now. He was extremely frightened. The emperor's guards were all from his Zuo Yigu. Now that the princess is seriously injured, how could he put it outside?
Dozens of soldiers on the side rushed over immediately and formed several layers of thick human walls around Yang Guang. Fan Zigai, who came from nearby, was also pale at this time. He forced the emperor to go up the city tonight. The Emperor Yan was almost shot in the arrow just now. This was all his guilt. Thinking of the princess' life and death, Fan Zigai hurriedly shouted loudly, "Call the doctor and escort Your Majesty back to the city immediately." Empress Xiao was still shocked. She suddenly came to her senses, rushed over with tears in her eyes, and supported Princess Izuyun. Empress Xiao moved the princess away from Yang Guang's arms, and carried it with several palace maids on a stretcher that specialized in carrying the wounded.
Yang Guang held the princess' hand tightly and shouted loudly, "Call the Imperial Doctor, call me the Imperial Doctor." "Your Majesty, please get up and go back to the slope immediately." Yu Wenhua and panic said.
Yang Guang watched several guards carrying stretchers and sending the princess down the city, and then nodded and walked down the city under the guards' escort.
When they arrived at Feiyun Temple, the guards had already urgently called the imperial doctor of the Imperial Hospital who was accompanying him. The imperial doctor was shocked when he saw that the princess's entire upper body was stained with blood. He hurriedly asked them to send him into the wing room for treatment.
Seeing that the princess was sent into the room for treatment, Yang Guang stopped and stayed outside the room.
Yang Guang, who was still shocked, held Empress Xiao's hand and said, "When I was still the King of Jin, I was attacked by an assassin. That time, Izumo's mother used her body to block a death blow. Unexpectedly, sixteen years later, Jier blocked another arrow with her body. What did I do? Why did I treat me like this?" Empress Xiao was both shocked and scared, and said with tears, "Your Majesty, don't worry, the imperial doctor's medical skills are so skillful, I will definitely cure Izumo." As the queen saw that Yang Guang's xiong was stained with blood, and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, your cloak is stained with blood. Let me change your clothes for you."
The queen asked the palace maid to send hot water, towels and clean clothes, and personally changed clothes for Yang Guang. Unzipped her belt, and Empress Xiao changed clothes for Yang Guang. Yang Guang, who took off her top, was still blood red in front of her. Empress Xiao hurriedly wet the towel and wrung it out and wiped it for Yang Guang. The candlelight in the house shone brightly. After Queen Xiao wiped it several times, the blood stain in front of Yang Guang not only did not wipe it clean, but became more and more. In the end, even the entire towel turned red.
After quickly picking up a candle and moving it to the front, Xiao Hou suddenly exclaimed.
I saw a deep blood hole in front of Yang Guang's xiong under the close illumination of the candle, and blood was constantly gushing out of it.
"Imperial Doctor, hurry up and pass on the Imperial Doctor." Empress Xiao shouted loudly. The crossbow arrow not only hit Princess Izumo, but also penetrated the princess' body, and stabbed Yang Guang, who was hugging the princess, too. At that time, there was chaos on the top of the city. When Emperor Xiao moved the princess away, he did not find that the emperor had been shot. He only thought that the blood in front of him was the princess.
Yang Guang didn't know that he had been shot at the time, and he was still sad, "Why did the queen say that the imperial physician is? Is the princess's injury too severe?"
Empress Xiao held Yang Guang, grabbed the towel with one hand and tightly blocked the wound in front of Yang Guangxiong and bleeded, crying, "Your Majesty, you were also injured by that arrow just now."
Yang Guang moved the queen's hand away and saw a deep wound in his xiong mouth, which was still bleeding. He had no pain at all just now. When he looked carefully, he suddenly felt dizzy and fainted in the queen's arms.
Several emperors rushed over again. When they saw the emperor being shot, they were shocked and no one was standing on their faces... They hurriedly carried Yang Guang into another room and quickly treated him. The emperor comforted the soldiers on the top of the city, and the princess personally went to the top of the city to deliver food and water. As a result, the princess blocked a rifle arrow for the emperor with her own body. But in the end, the rifle arrow not only shot the princess, but also penetrated the princess and shot the emperor. At present, the princess and the emperor were still awake, and the news spread throughout the Yanmen City.
Rumors like the wind flowed through Yanmen City. During the darkest period before dawn, there were even rumors that the emperor had been shot and was unable to control himself. The soldiers in the whole city were panic and deeply uneasy. The morale of the entire army was suddenly extinguished, but the Turks took advantage of the situation to attack the city more and more fiercely.
But the morale of the defenders was greatly reduced, people were panicked, and their troops were at a disadvantage. Under the fierce attack of the Turks, the Turkic soldiers continued to climb up the city wall. The pressure at the top of the city was heavier and more people were pouring up, and the number of people was increasing. Liao Zhan and the two sides gritted their teeth, blood was flying everywhere, and swords and swords were everywhere, screaming. There were more and more enemies in the upper city, starting with an emergency in the west, and then, a clang of alarm bell sounded in the east, and the sound of rapid running continued. The mobile troops were busy everywhere, reinforcing weak defense lines. With thin forces, the defense line was as dangerous as the eggs were covered.
At the last moment, all the people in the city were transferred to the city. Not only the people in the city, but also the palace maids and eunuchs were recruited to the city again. All the houses near the Yanmen wall were stripped off.
The bricks and stones were transported to the trenchers and the city walls, and the wood was also used to attack the enemy.
In a critical moment, even the old man Su Weisu, the head of the civil servant, pulled out the sword on his waist, shaking his silver beard to boost morale on the top of the city. Li Shimin even brought his three thousand troops to replace them with double-layer infantry Mingguang armor, all of which were nearly five meters long steel spears, sweeping away like scavengers. The waving spears rushed all the Turkic soldiers wearing leather armor, sculpted swords, and carrying small round shields to the city.
Pei Yun also collected all the oil from the city and transported it to the top of the city. Buckets of hot oil were poured head-on, and countless Turkic soldiers ran around in a hot manner. When most of the oil was poured into the city, torches were thrown down the foot of the city.
An enormous fire wall suddenly lit up along the city wall. The fire lit up most of the cloud ladders that were ladders on the city wall, burning most of the Turkic soldiers who were still on the cloud ladders. The offensive momentum of the entire Turkic people was blocked, and the Turkic troops suddenly appeared in a fault. Without the continuous replenishment of the subsequent troops, the Turkic soldiers who rushed to the city were finally isolated and were quickly killed under the joint attack of the military and civilians on the city.
When the fire wall under the city wall gradually faded, all the Turks on the city were emptied.
The bodies were thrown from above the city, and a glimmer of dawn finally appeared in the sky to the east.
After this fire wall of the Sui army, most of the Turkish ladders had been destroyed and turned into burning bonfires.
Seeing that the troops suffered such a severe blow, the soldiers brought out from the tribe were destroyed in large numbers. The leader of the méng Chen clan, Shi Jingeton, whipped the ground with a whip, "Khan, this is to let the boys die! That is impossible to capture! The plan to siege tonight has failed."
The leaders of various tribes in the front-line commanding troops also ran to the Golden Wolf Crown and persuaded Shibi Khan, "Great Khan, let's stop the troops for the time being!"
Even Shibi's son Tuli Xiao Khan stepped forward and said, "It's okay to attack after we have built the siege equipment!"
But Shibi Da Khan was as stubborn as a ghost at this time. He ignored all the advice and ordered with a shallow face: "Run, rush for me! Those who dare to retreat, kill me! The leaders of each tribe, hold on for another half an hour, and victory will be ours!"
For Shibi, tonight's attack was his full-strength attack, and he had to take down Yanmen. Although he was surrounding Yang Guang, the Sui army in Hedong was not far from here and it would not take long to arrive. The time for him to attack Yanmen with all his strength was limited.
And there is another reason he has never told the leaders of various tribes that Chen Kefu told Shibi Yang Guang that he would be an alliance with Tiel's four families to attack the Turks. Later, Shibi went south and only said that Yang Guang had prepared a 500,000 army to attack the Turks, but he did not say that Tiel's three tribes would also attack the grasslands.
He has been south for half a month now, and he is worried that the longer he stays in the Central Plains, the more likely his lair is to be attacked by Tiel and others.
And there is another key reason for him to decide to continue the attack, that is, he believes that the Sui army in the city will not be much better than himself. War is a contest of strength and will. I believe that whoever can hold on for the last quarter of an hour will eventually win.
The leaders of each tribe helped to send orders to the soldiers of each tribe, continue to attack, take down Yanmen, and capture Yang Guang alive. (To be continued...
