"What?"

Yang Guang was shocked and only had 20,000 shi of grain. He asked anxiously: "How much grass is there?"

Lu Yu didn't know the specific stock of the forage, so he could only answer vaguely, "Report to Your Majesty, there are only 5,000 war horses in Yanmen County, and the forage is usually stored for three months according to this quantity. Now it has suddenly increased to 100,000 war horses. I don't know the specific amount of the forage load, but it can only last for ten days at most. {/Upload and update}"

Yang Guang was a little anxious. The food was only enough for twenty days and the forage was only enough for ten days. Once the city was besieged for more than one month, wouldn’t it be all starved to death?

At this time, Yuwen Chengdu next to him said: "Your Majesty, I suggest slaughtering 50,000 war horses first, increasing meat on the one hand, and reducing the consumption of forage on the other hand."

Yang Guang pondered for a moment and said, "Where did the Turkic cavalry chase after you first? If there is still a distance, either transfer grain and grass from another county, or I will leave Yanmen County and go to Youzhou."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a loud trumpet sound coming from outside. The trumpet sound echoed in the sky, like thousands of trumpet sounding together.

Yang Guang changed his color. At this time, the Right Guard General Shi Xiang rushed in and reported urgently: "Your Majesty, the Turkic army has surrounded from all directions, with hundreds of thousands of people, which have surrounded Yanmen City."

Yang Guang showed a look of fear on his face, so nervous that he couldn't even speak, but Yuwen Chengdu was very calm and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, we have a hundred thousand troops to defend the city. This is not a cavalry battle, we may not suffer any loss. Moreover, the Turks are not good at attacking the city. I suggest that we strengthen the city immediately and fight against the Turks!"

Yang Guang calmed down a little, and he took out his gold medal and handed it to Yuwen Chengdu. "General, I appointed you to be fully responsible for defending the city, and 100,000 imperial guards are for you to dispatch."

Yuwen Chengdu knelt on one knee, "I would rather be careless than protect Your Majesty's safety!"

.........

Yuwen Chengdu immediately mobilized 30,000 troops to go to the city to defend the city, and at the same time ordered all the houses along the city wall to be demolished. The bricks, wood and stones obtained were used for defense of the city. The houses were pushed one by one, and the beams were sawed into several sections to be used as rolling wood. The stones on the foundation were pried up by soldiers and moved to the top of the city to be used as stones. The owner of the demolished house stood silently, and no one called the sky and the earth, but just packed up his meager property.

On the city, tens of thousands of Sui soldiers stood densely on the walls. They silently stared at the Turkic army outside the city. Each soldier had a look of fear and terror in his eyes. The 400,000 Turkic troops had all entered Yanmen County. A few miles away, one by one, a tent rose from the ground. It stretched for dozens of miles, and it was invisible to see the boundaries, surrounding Yanmen City.

At noon, the loud sound of the war drums sounded. (_"") The low horn sounded across the earth, and hundreds of thousands of Turkic troops went to fight. They rushed in like a tide, holding shields in their hands. Carrying hundreds of stairs several feet high, one by one, one by one, and shouting to kill the sky.

They used long wooden boards to build a moat two meters wide to serve as a bridge. Nearly 100,000 Turkic troops rushed over. Without tempting attack, they launched a fierce attack.

The Sui army arrows on the top of the city were like rain, shooting densely at the Turkic soldiers. Although shields were blocked, there were still large areas of Turkic troops being shot down. However, the army was too dense and there were no stone catapults. The arrows were insufficient. Hundreds of city ladders were placed on the top of the city, and iron hooks were hooked on the walls. More than 10,000 Turkic vanguards began to climb up and attack. The big stones and wood were covered with hail. A bunch of enemy troops were hit, and they screamed and rolled down from the air, but new enemy troops continued to attack.

Under the city, tens of thousands of Turkic troops began to counterattack with arrows to cover the city. The arrows were densely packed like a net and shot towards the defenders on the city. The defenders on the city began to suffer casualties, and thousands of people were shot by arrows. The Sui army was pressed behind the female wall and could not raise their heads. They could only use shields to cover them and shoot arrows to both sides. At this time, a dangerous situation occurred in the East City. The first batch of Turkic troops rushed to the city and began a fierce battle between the Sui soldiers. More and more Turkic troops rushed to the city. The situation in the East City was extremely critical.

Yuwen Chengdu roared and rushed into the enemy group by horse. He waved the 200-pound gilt bore, which was extremely powerful, and made the Turkic army fly and flesh and blood, and his brain burst. The Turkic army was shocked by his courage and retreated one after another. Hundreds of Sui army behind Yuwen Chengdu rushed forward and fought bravely to kill the enemy, and finally killed all the hundreds of Turkic troops who rushed to the top of the city.

The siege was extremely fierce, with arrows flying everywhere and corpses piled up. Both sides threw heavy troops into the county government. The county government was close to the north city, only seventy steps away from the city wall. The dense arrows crossed the sky and shot into the city, and many arrows shot into the county government government.

In the imperial study, Yang Guang's youngest son Yang Gao was extremely frightened and ran to find his father, "Father!"

As soon as he ran into the imperial study, an arrow shot through the window and shot the golden crown on his head. The eunuchs exclaimed in surprise. Yang Guang hugged his young son and sat on the ground with his back against the table. At this time, he screamed. A young eunuch was shot into the stomach by an arrow and fell to the ground, blood flowing.

Another arrow shot over Yang Guang's head, shot on the wall, and landed in front of Yang Guang. Yang Guang was frightened and hugged Yang Gao and cried, "We are going to die here today."

At this moment, the sound of horns came from outside the city, and the sound of horns was rumbling.

This was the horn of the Turkish army's armistice and withdrawal. There were only less than fifty siege ladders left by the Turkish army. Shibi Khan ordered the withdrawal of the siege army.

The 100,000 siege troops retreated like a tide, but the Sui army on the city did not cheer for victory. In just two hours of siege, 30,000 Sui army had already died and injured 6,000 people, and the Turkic army also suffered more than 10,000 deaths. Almost everyone was surrounded by bloody corpses, and a fear of death filled the hearts of every Sui soldier.

Most of Yang Guang's 100,000 imperial guards were children of wealthy families, including many powerful and powerful children. More than half of them were soldiers from Guanlong, and many of them were children of Guanlong nobles.

Joining the Imperial Guard has always been a shortcut for the children of the officials to enter the government. It is like a layer of gold. It can be promoted in a few years and turns to serve as an officer of the government soldiers. The Imperial Guard is the army that guards the emperor, with high horses and high horses and bright armor. What they care about is the admiration of young girls, and never considers participating in wars. They have always been nicknamed the "Prince Army".

But today, an unexpected incident pushed them to the main battlefield of fighting against the 400,000 Turkic army and when they began to fight, they did not care about fear, but when the enemy retreated and the bloody and cruel war appeared before them, many people collapsed. Sitting on the ground powerlessly, most of them were full of fear and worried about their destiny.

Yuwen Chengdu inspected the battlefield. The morale of the Sui army was sluggish, which made him full of worries. He thought that 100,000 troops could defend the city, and at least 500,000 people could defend the attack, and the opponent was a Turkic person who was not good at attacking the city. Yanmen City should be able to defend it, but now it seems that this army disappointed him. The attack, defense, death and injury ratio is generally three to one, and today's prevention, death and injury ratio reaches five to three. From this, it can be seen that the combat effectiveness of this army is weak, and the city will be broken sooner or later.

Yuwen Chengdu sighed. The only way to ask for help now is to ask for help. The fastest and most effective way is to ask for help from Yang Yuanqing.

Yuwen Chengdu ordered several generals to prepare for the war again. He waved his whip and thrust his war horse and ran down the city.

Yang Guang's temporary palace has been changed from the county government office to the Daizhou General Administration Office. It is located in the middle of the city and cannot shoot arrows here. In the General Administration Office Conference Hall, Yang Guang was discussing countermeasures with more than a dozen ministers.

The General of the Right Guard, Shi Xiang, had already reported the battle situation first, which made everyone present feel heavy in their hearts. The Turks only used the simplest ladder to attack the city and almost broke through the city. If other siege weapons were added, it would be a lot of danger.

Yang Guang sighed and said to everyone: "Everyone can express their opinions! Now everyone is on the same boat, there is nothing to say."

He glanced at Yuwen Shu, "Yuwen Aiqing, you have always been more active, so you should talk about it first today."

Yuwen Shu bowed and said, "Your Majesty, what the Turks are trying to capture is the Emperor of Sui. They took Your Majesty as hostage and forced the Sui Dynasty to agree to their harsh conditions. Therefore, we must protect Your Majesty. I suggest that Your Majesty select thousands of elite soldiers from the 100,000 troops to protect Your Majesty and break through..."

"No!"

Before Yuwen Shu could finish his words, Yuwen Chengdu, who appeared at the door, stopped him sternly, "Your Majesty is the Lord of Wan Cheng, how can you act easily?"

Yuwen Chengdu was originally a fake boy of Yuwen Shu, but in fact he was his family general. Although Yuwen Chengdu was gradually promoted by Yang Guang, in Yuwen Shu's eyes, he was just a fake boy. He was born in a humble family. He was just a fake boy because of his face. He ignored Yuwen Cheng. When the two met, they regarded him as passers-by and never said hello.

Today, Yuwen Chengdu actually refuted himself in front of the emperor and the important ministers, which made Yuwen Shu unable to bear the face. He was furious: "What are you talking nonsense!"

Yuwen Cheng ignored him and walked to Yang Guang to give a deep salute, "Your Majesty, today we have only invested 30,000 troops to defend, we still have more than 70,000 people, and we still have enough arrows and defense. Light cavalry assault is the strength of Turkic cavalry. His Majesty has thousands of people out of the city, how can he escape their pursuit? The road is long, and once the guards are exhausted, His Majesty can only sleep."

"I agree with the opinion of the General of the Left Guard. Your Majesty must not leave the city easily!"

This is Fan Zigai's support for Yuwen Chengdu. He glanced at Yuwen Shu contemptuously and said, "I don't know what purpose are some people? He actually advised Your Majesty to break through the 400,000 army. The three-year-old child still knows that it is not possible. Your Majesty still has a chance to protect the city, but once he is in a embarrassed situation, he will regret it. As long as Your Majesty is in the city, he can inspire the morale of the army and defeat the enemy's spirit. I advise Your Majesty to send dead soldiers to break through, recruit soldiers from all over the world to serve the king, personally comfort the soldiers, and announce that he will no longer conquer Goryeo and reward titles with great rewards. Everyone will strive for the first place. Why worry about not being able to defend successfully?"

Fan Zigai's words were reasonable and concise, and everyone nodded in agreement. Xiao Yu, the Minister of the Inner History, also said: "After all, the Turks are ministers of the Great Sui Dynasty. They are in the moral demerits. Your Majesty can send envoys to question him, why don't they follow the way of the monarch and the minister? When negotiating conditions with him, even if they are useless, they can delay time. Then Your Majesty issued a clear edict to announce that they will not conquer Goryeo and be dedicated to dealing with the Turks. Then everyone will feel at ease and will fight for their own survival."

When Yu Shiji was concerned about his life, he didn't care about Yu Wen Shu's face. He also agreed: "Announcement to stop conquering Goryeo and reward soldiers with a high title is indeed a good way to boost morale, and I support it!"

Everyone's opinions tend to be unified, Pei Ju and Pei Yun also expressed their agreement. Yang Guang was forced to helplessly. In order to save his life, he had to agree with the opinions of the ministers.

At this time, Yuwen Chengdu said: "It may be too late to recruit the king from all counties in the world. I suggest asking Yang Yuanqing for help directly. I believe he will definitely lead his army to rescue Your Majesty!"
