Chapter 421: Entering the City

On the eighth day of the 11th year of Daye, on the night of the eighth day of every month, the moon comes out from the west, like a bowstring on the upper string. The moon on this day will only come out in the first half of the night. After the late night, the moon will disappear and disappear.

It was already late at night, and the crescent moon in the sky was already in the middle of the sky, and it could not pass by a small amount

Yes, the entire moon will disappear. Under the illumination of this crescent moon, the hazy moonlight shines the entire Yanmen Pass inside and outside, and the night wind will storm.

In the middle of the night, the hazy crescent moon gradually disappeared, and only a few lonely stars were left in the sky in the night sky. Blowing gusts of night wind blew, and the entire inside and outside of Yanmen Pass suddenly fell into darkness again.

The Turkic garrison stationed at Yanmen Pass felt the earth under him shaking and calming. The Turkic soldiers who woke up in their sleep jumped out of the tent barefoot in a hurry and involuntarily screamed terrifyingly.

Like a ghost suddenly appeared in the dark night, a charge formation composed of three thousand heavily armored cavalry was rushing towards them! The neat and dense black armored cavalry seemed to be a steel wall, and also like a sea of ​​swords and swords that were coming towards them. The dark wings were silently stretched out, yin forest was terrible. The sound of dry and cracked horse hooves rolled in like thunder, and they were like a whirlwind, sweeping and destroying everything. In front of this terrible torrent of destruction, the Turks' fences and tents,

The houses and horses destroyed the tiles like paper, and the Turkic soldiers fleeing in all directions made a scream of death, and were crushed into blue powder by the torrent of steel...

In the dark night, Li Shimin's Three Thousand Xuanjia Camp took the lead in launching a counterattack against the Turks!

In the early morning, three thousand cavalry wearing double armor and holding steel spears rushed out first. Behind them, there were seven thousand elite cavalry of the imperial guards chopping the panicked Turks into pieces. Immediately, under the panic of the Turks at the outermost Turks, ten thousand elite cavalry of the Sui army advanced wildly and quickly broke through the outermost defense line of the Turkic camp with rumbled iron hooves.

At the top of Yanmen Pass, Yang Guang was also visiting the top of the city under the escort of Yu Wen and the banned large number of imperial guards. Just like a sharp arrow, Li Shimin led 10,000 cavalry quickly broke into the Turkic camp and set fire all the way. The entire Turkic camp rushed into the sky and screamed in tears.

Looking at the situation, Yang Guang was excited and clenched his fists, and his nails fell into the flesh of his palm.

"Are you ready?" Yang Guang turned his head and told the general Sima Dekan of Youyi.

Sima Dekan nodded, "Your Majesty, please rest assured. I have asked the Turkish guard chief Ashina, Eliver's son Ashina, the Grand Principal, to lead 100 Turkish guards to take advantage of the chaos to escort the princess and Pei Nayan out of the city. They are all Turkic costumes, and the Turkic people will not find them for a while." Yang Guang's Turkic guard chief Ashina, Eliver, was the one who was the Western Turkic Khan in the Western Turkic for eight years.

Khan. However, this Chuluo Khan and Shibi's younger brother Chuluo Khan were just different people in the same name. Asina and Eliver's mother, Mrs. Xiang, were originally from Han. After being a Western Turkic Khan for eight years, she was defeated by the Qimin Khan of the Eastern Turkic Khan. Finally, she had no choice but to go to the Sui Dynasty to ask for help from Yang Guang. Yang Guang sent troops to rescue the Western Turkic Khan, but he kept him in the Central Plains. Instead, he supported his two nephews, Khan, and took over the Western Turkic Khan.

At this time, while Li Shimin attacked and left the city, Yang Guang hurriedly asked Chu Luo Khan's son to take his 500 Turkic guards of his clan to escort Princess Izuyun and Pei Shiju to Liaodong. When Yang Guang heard that the princess had successfully left the city, he felt very depressed again. Unexpectedly, Yang Guang had reached this point now.

Not only were the Turkic grassland barbarians in this city, but they were also sent their precious daughter to a traitor to marry in order to gain a first-line buffer time.

Li Shimin's cavalry troops attacked the Turkic camp as if they were destroyed. After the excitement, Li Shimin, who was sitting tightly on the horse, felt something was wrong. It was too relaxed, and the smooth progress of the journey was a bit surprising. Although the Turks fought with them for ten days in Yanmen, no matter how tired they were, the Turks still had 70,000 to 80,000 troops at this time. Even if another 20,000 was transferred during the day, there would be at least 40,000 troops at this time.

But now they only have 10,000 troops, but they successfully attacked the Turkic camp, and even attacked not far from the center of the Turkic camp. A sense of crisis surged in my heart.

Li Shimin suddenly waved the shiny sword in his right hand, tied the horse's head, and shouted, "Stop, stop, array!" The three thousand Xuan Armored Cavalry in the front stopped moving forward first. Although they didn't understand why they stopped at this critical moment, no one doubted Li Shimin's order. The three thousand Xuan Armored Army, which was leading the formation, stopped, and the seven thousand cavalry behind gradually stopped attacking and began to reunite the formation.

But before they could gather the chaotic arrays during the charge again, waves of thunderous horse hooves were already coming to this side. Li Shimin's heart burst into tears and thought that Su Wei guessed that the Turks had already been prepared.

Li Shimin pointed at the front of the sword without hesitation, and shouted, "The whole army turned, look west, kill!" The nearly 10,000 cavalry that had just gathered together started again, and was still headed by three thousand Xuanzao cavalry, and the horses stepped like flying, and the sound was like thunder. With a huge arc, more than 10,000 people turned a big circle in front of the center of the Turkic camp, and rushed to the camp again.

At the center of the Turkic camp, countless torches suddenly ignited under the huge golden wolf crow. Under the fire, it was the army that the Turks had already been ready to go. At the front of the army, Shibi Khan was wearing golden wolf armor, holding a scimitar and looking at the Sui army who turned away with regret, "I almost managed to surround this army."

On the side of him was Zhang Yong from Liaodong, who was also full of armor. He chuckled and said, "Don't regret the Khan. The first plan 1 is not possible. We have a second plan." Just as Su Wei said, during the day, several troops suddenly left the camp. In fact, it was just when the Turks attacked Yanmen for a long time and were already in the heart to leave. Zhang Yong of the Liaodong Army, Xiang Shibi, made a plan, hoping to attract the soldiers and horses from the city to leave the city, but he did not expect it to work.

Shibi Khan nodded and said to the tribal leaders beside him, "As soon as the second plan is taken, will it be tonight if you can take down Yanmen?" After that, he took the lead in pursuing the horse's belly and chased the Sui army.

Li Shimin looked at the central camp behind him and suddenly burst into flames. A large army was chasing him. He was not very panicked. He was still lying on the horse and leading the cavalry to the west of the hundred-pointed fingers. From afar, he had already seen a Turkic cavalry in front of him.

Li Shimin, who had broken his arm and could no longer use his weapons with both hands, held his sword in his hand, pointed forward, and roared, "Whoever wins when meets on a narrow road, kills!" A spear-crossing sword lit up, and a powerful cavalry lowered his body on the horse, with his hands facing each other, staring at the Turkic cavalry in front of him.

The whistling night wind blew in my ears, and the galloping horses quickly approached with the cavalry on both sides. The spears were straight and the swords were slashed. In the cavalry battle at high speed, everyone often only came to take action once, once, and life and death were determined. Either you die or I died. In such high-speed martyrs, there were few wounded soldiers and few prisoners. They were either killed or injured, and seriously injured people usually fell into the horse. Once they fell off the horse, the high-speed trampled horse hoof would not allow a wounded soldier to survive under the horse hoof.

Fires splashed everywhere, and after the metal and iron were mixed together, Li Shimin continued to run west without looking back. The Turkic cavalry behind chased and was about to catch up. Suddenly, the Yanmen City in front of the Sui army suddenly opened. Amid a shout of shouting, another cavalry that had been waiting for a long time emerged from the city. The cavalry was equipped with crossbow arrows and rushed straight up towards the Turks. After a wave of locust-like crossbow arrows, the Turks rushed towards the high-speed and were killed and injured everywhere, and kept falling off their horses.

Just as the Sui army and the Turks launched a fierce cavalry battle in the dark night, a sudden burst of shouts and shouts broke out from the city on the east. The messengers ran around, and the alarm bells on the city on the east were loudly sounding. While everyone was paying attention to the fight in the west, the 20,000 cavalrymen who left the Turkic camp during the day came back silently at night. At this time, these cavalry all became infantry, carrying a ladder and rushing under the east city wall like a tide, and immediately launched a siege.

Before everyone noticed it, before the city of Ximian was closed, a group of more than 100 Sui cavalry who had previously left the city with Li Shimin came to the city gate.

"These brothers were too seriously injured by love, so they had to go to the city to treat immediately, and get out of here quickly." A Sui army in a team of clothes shouted loudly. The city gate was about to close at this time, and the officer guarding the city looked at the Sui army carefully and found that they were indeed wearing the costumes of the Xuan Armored Camp cavalry that had just left the city.

Seeing Li Shimin and the cavalry who had just left the city were still blocking the open space in front of the city gate and fighting with the Turks, there was no doubt that there was it, and he hurriedly waved his hand to let them enter the city.

As soon as they entered the city, the cavalry immediately showed their weapons. Before the Sui army guarding the city could react, they rushed towards the city gate like chopping melons and vegetables, and they were slashing and killing. Several wounded soldiers who were already covered in blood were waving the torches in their hands like nothing happened, and swung violently at the Turks in the distance.

The sudden change at the city gate made the Sui army and the Turks understand. A fierce cheer broke out from the Turks' cavalry, shouting at the Tianbaobao, and fighting wildly towards the city gate. Li Shimin, who was originally blocking the city gate, was both shocked and angry, and the Turks actually grabbed the city gate.

The alarm bells on the top of the city were knocking wildly and rapidly. All the defenders knew that if the Turks really snatched the city gate, once they lost the support of Yanmen City, with the current strength of the defenders in the city, it would be impossible to stop the Turks.

Li Shimin outside the city 10,000 cavalry and 10,000 cavalry who later left the city frantically intercepted the Turks, preventing them from rushing towards the city gate. Both sides fought in the same place, and their eyes were completely red. The two most elite cavalry units in the world had no essence of cavalry fighting at this time, but had already mixed up. One of them rushed forward and the other desperately blocked them there to intercept. The spears were stabbed randomly and the scimitars were stalked together.

At this time, the soldiers and horses in the city head rushed to the city gate and killed the Turks who seized the city gate and defended the city gate. However, no one noticed that when they first entered the city, the Han people who were leading the front of the cavalry team had disappeared.

Seeing that the Sui army in the city had killed all the Turks at the city gate, the interception line composed of 20,000 cavalry led by Li Shimin had been broken by the Turks, and teams of Turks had rushed to the entrance of the city gate. The Turks completely ignored the crossbow arrows and huge rocks pouring down like rain on the top of the city, and rushed into the city with no chance of life.

During the melee, even all the civilians and strong people in the city were urgently summoned to the west gate. In order to prevent the Turkic cavalry from taking advantage of the situation to enter the city, the civilians had already crushed one house after another under the command of many officials, and transported them to the city gate with the stones and wood to pile up obstacles after obstacles.

The soldiers and men, women, old and weak in the city have been summoned to the front line of the city defense at this time, but the city seems extremely quiet in this noisy night of fighting. In the dark shadow, a group of about twenty people are small.

The team was wearing Sui army armor, dodging left and right, and heading towards the center of the city.

When a man in the armor dress took out a map and looked at it for a long time, he pointed to the left and said softly, "Feiyun Temple is not far away. We sneaked in from the backyard wall of Feiyun Temple. If we were not absolutely necessary, we must not fight with the guards. We sneaked in secret and caught Yang Guang immediately retreated from the original road. On the east wall of Yanmen City, there is a small city wall there on the east side of Yanmen City.

The small underground waterway can just allow one person to pass through. The waterway leads directly to the moat, and we can leave the city directly from there, and then go along Hengshan to the northeast. At that time, there will be troops from the Special Service Department to respond. Brothers, no matter what, as long as there is one person, Yang Guang must be brought back to Liaodong.

You must not kill Yang Guang unless you have to. Remember?" The team of people shone with excitement in their eyes, and nodded in a deep voice, "Remember, General."

The man nodded. The capturing of Yang Guang alive was not in his mission, but since he had seized this opportunity, he must not let it go. The Turks were determined to capture Yang Guang because they knew the value of Yang Guang. If Yang Guang really fell into his hands, it would also be extremely important to them. For these reasons, even if they had to take risks, he would be willing to give it a try.

Listening to the sound of fighting above the waves of the city walls in the distance, he stretched out his hand and pointed at the center of each city, shouting "Action!"!
