Chapter 423 The Duel of Two Kings

In the 11th year of Daye, the Turks mobilized 60% of the entire Turkic Khanate, with a total of 300,000 troops heading south. The Emperor of the Central Plains overlords mobilized 500,000 troops and nearly 200,000 allied troops. However, the first decisive battle between the two largest overlords in the north and south, the one who controlled the war was not the young and powerful Shibi Khan Ashina Duji, who was ambition-hungry, was not the ruler of tens of millions of people in the Central Plains Sui, and Yang Guang, the Emperor of the Great Sui. This grand war that determined the fate of the entire Central Plains, even the grassland world and even the entire continent for decades was not in their hands, but had long been stirred up by an invisible hand.

Under the secret arrangement of Chen Kefu of the Liaodong Army, the rhythm of hundreds of thousands of troops of the two overlords of the north and south was secretly broken, and they were unknowingly trapped in a plan arranged in a heart-set manner.

The Turks, who had already discounted nearly a centaur and were determined to retreat, once again launched a desperate attack on Yanmén City under Zhang Yong's plan. Yanmén's western city had fallen into the hands of a small Turkish group, but the large Turkish team was locked in the west by the 20,000 cavalry of the Sui general Li Shimin.

Shibi Khan and the Turkic leaders never felt so close to Yanmeng. They even felt that they could rush into Yanmeng City as long as they rushed again.

The Turkic cavalry were already red in their eyes at this time. Facing the city still open, all the cavalry rushed towards the Sui army blocking the front like crazy.

The whimpering horns were blown, and one sound was as tight as another, extremely rapid.

Hidden from outside, the 20,000 Turkish horseless cavalry who were attacking the east wall also hurriedly abandoned the east wall, threw down ladders, and rushed to the west city like water.

The terrified Turks rushed towards the west city desperately, and no one turned around. The 20,000 Sui cavalry under the city were riding war horses except for the two wings, but in fact they all dismounted, and formed a square formation to intercept the Turkic army that was rushing in like water.

Shields were like copper walls, and spears were like forests. Not far behind them, the defenders on the city had already transferred all the crossbowmen, archers, catapults, crossbows and other weapons. Arrows were like locusts, and crossbows were like rain. One by one, with the sound of the wind, they kept hitting the cavalry formations rushing in front of the Turks, bringing up a bunch of blood.

Shibi Khan waved the golden wolf scimitar, his face was extremely ferocious, and his neck was straight. "Roar, rush, don't entangle, rush over directly. Snatch the city."

Faced with this great opportunity in front of him, Shibi Khan was almost crazy. At present, he had no choice but to defeat the Sui army in front of him. What he most urgently needed was to enter Yanmén City immediately. As long as he entered the city, he would win the victory of this battle. As long as he caught Yang Guang, even if he discounted some of his subordinates, he could bear it.

Shi Jin, a few major tribes, could not control their blood boiling at this time, and personally led their subordinates to rush forward. The high-speed cavalry was like launching a suicide charge, facing the last line of defense composed of 20,000 cavalry of Li Shimin, no Turkic man hesitated. A war horse, under the control of the riding skills of the Turkic knight Jing Zhan, rushed towards the shield wall and the spear forest without hesitation.

One area after another rushed forward, blood splattered and the spear broke. More and more Turkic cavalry behind them continued to charge. In the charges one after another, the Sui cavalry generals were nailing to the ground at this time. Even if the hooves of the war horse were already raised in front of him, no one retreated.

Li Shimin stood in the array, waved his sword with one arm, and shouted, "Stabilize the position, don't worry about the Turks behind, stabilize the position, and block the Turks' army." The 20,000-person front seemed weak, but every time the Turks' soldiers rushed into the formation, they broke through one row of forest-like spears, and after the snow-like sword, there were not many soldiers left.

Li Shimin led the cavalry to stop the death of the Turkic cavalry. Those who wanted to rush to the city, of course, there were arrows, rain, stone bullets on the top of the city intercepted. Even if they passed through the attack on the top of the city, there were still defenders fighting desperately in the city. Their biggest task was to block the Turkic cavalry outside. As long as not all the Turkic people attacked the city at once, they would be able to save them.

The entire Yancheng was already focused on the western city. The Turks charged to the death, trying to break a little, and finally captured Yancheng. However, the Sui army hurriedly set up a 20,000 cavalry and infantry formation outside the city, and all the civil servants at the top of the city intercepted the fire. The entrance of the city even concentrated the sharpest Xiaoguo Army in the city at this time, and the sharpest force in the imperial guards was fighting to snatch the city. And behind the entrance of the city, the civil servants who followed the city were commanding the old and weak people in the city to desperately cut off the bricks and woods that had been plundered down the houses, and were ready to use the soldiers to resist step by step.

Never mind, these emperors and ministers of the Great Sui Dynasty felt so critical. On the top of the city, Yang Guang's emperor flag kept moving above the city on the escort of the black-clothed iron guards. At this time, Yang Guang didn't care about the arrow on the head of the city earlier. Under the escort of dozens of large shields, he stood on the head of the city to beat drums to help the battle. Even civil officials such as Su Wei, Yu Shiji, and Fei Yun were all wearing armor and plucking swords in their hands.

In the dark night, fires surged into the sky under the city, shouting and killing the sky.

The Turks had already transferred all the troops under Yanmén City, with a total of nearly 70,000 troops. However, the Sui army was completely weak, and the imperial court had only 40,000 troops. Fortunately, there were still many people in the city, including the people in the city, and the eunuchs, together with a total of 100,000. At this time, except for those who died in battle and were too old and weak, nearly 50,000 of them had been mobilized to the battlefield. Even the wounded soldiers, except those who could not move, had already moved, and had already moved.

The clouds are sad and misty, and the sun and the moon are gone.

The entire western city completely became a black city that was constantly devouring blood. Although the Turks continued to have cavalry breaking through Li Shimin's position outside the city and breaking into the city. However, there were too few Turks who could pass through the death front outside the city every time. The Turks who rushed into the city continued to fight with the Xiaoguo army, but they could only barely defend the city without losing it, but could not make any progress.

Jie Li looked at his cavalry and completely gave up the tactics of the Turkic cavalry's sharper tactics. One by one, one cavalry fell in front of the Sui army position outside the city. He said in pain, "Khan, if you rush on like this, the men will die before we take down the city. First, annihilate the Sui army outside the city and attack the city."

Jie Li had already seen that the Sui army in front of him had seen their desire to enter the city, so he abandoned his horse and formed a formation to fight in an infantry battle. He stood firmly on their way. In this way, the Turkic cavalry had no advantage in maneuvering, but instead kept rushing towards the steel gun forest.

Shibi's eyes were already bloody. How could he not know how bad the charge in front of him was against them, but in the face of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, he could only do this. Although he understood that if he paused the decisive charge in front of him, he would first target the Sui army outside the city and encircle and annihilate them first, he would be sure to annihilate the Sui cavalry in less than two hours.

But in this case, the city that he grabbed will inevitably fall into the hands of the Sui people again. Their troops are not large at present. If they plan to annihilate the 20,000 Sui troops outside the city first, then in the end, he may only have about 40,000 to 50,000 soldiers left. He was not sure to take down the Yan Mén.

Just like a gambler, he had already made too many bets before, and now he has reached the point where he can't continue. He has no capital to bet on the next game, and there is only one game of victory or defeat.

With red eyes, Shibi Khan shouted loudly, "Transfer the order of Khan Ben, the Golden Wolf Crown move forward, the whole army charges together, and all the troops will be suppressed. The victory and defeat will be in the morning, and kill it." After saying that, Jie Li no longer followed his Golden Wolf Crown, and moved to the city with his Golden Wolf Crown.

The golden wolf's big flag moved forward, which means that Shibi Khan personally rushed to the front. All the Turks in the night fire roared in unison, waved their scimitars, and rushed up again frantically.

Yang Guang stood on the top of the city to beat the drums. He heard the Turks under the city suddenly roaring and the attack became even more fierce. He turned his head and looked down at the city from the shield wall. In the fire, the Turks' golden wolf flag was constantly moving forward, towards the western city under his feet. Under the golden wolf flag, countless Turks were rushing towards the wildly.

"Your Majesty, the Turkic Shibi Khan came up in person. Please return to the city for the time being," Yu Wen and the other side said repeatedly.

Yang Guang glared at Yu Wenhua and said, "I am the emperor of China, and I will be afraid of a barbarian chief. Yu Wenhua and immediately transferred the catapult cart to see me to see the golden wolf crow, bombard me hard, mobilize all the catapult carts, hurry up."

Yu Wenhe looked at the golden wolf star who had just entered the range of the catapult car, "Your Majesty, it's not easy to hit at such a distance, and now the catapult car is attacking and intercepting the captives who rushed through General Li's array outside the city..."

Yang Guang looked at Yu Wenji coldly, and then he saw that Yu Wenji had already felt like falling from an ice cave. He didn't dare to say anything anymore, so he hurried to the catapults on the city wall to send orders.
