Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 595 Yuchi Gong

The sun had set into the mountains, and it was getting dark.

A group of wild geese flew by from a distance, circled the battlefield, and made a mournful sound.

The clouds in the western sky seemed to be on fire, as if the blood on the battlefield had already splashed into the sky.

Outside Yanmen City.

The water of the Hutuo River has been stained red with blood. On the battlefield, the wolf flags of the Turks and the red flags of the Sui army were mixed together, and corpses were everywhere.It was getting dark, but the fighting was still going on.

The fierce siege battle has been going on for five days.

During these five days, the Turks besieged on all sides without stopping for a moment.

And the Xiaoguo Army in the city lived up to the title of the Royal Guards, repelling the Turkic attacks time and time again.

The horn sounded again on the battlefield, and the Turkic people resolutely organized another tide-like attack before dark, and countless simple ladders and wooden ladders were pushed forward.

More Turkic cavalry dismounted and came to the city in a dense phalanx, raising their bows together, ready to shoot salvos to cover the siege.

A strong smell of blood rose into the sky.

The battlefield will only be cleaned when it gets dark, and at this time, after a day of bloody battles, thousands of corpses of soldiers from the Sui and Turkic armies have piled up below the city.

On Yanmen City, the drums sounded.

Wang Rengong, governor of Mayi and prefect of Mayi, came before the emperor wearing iron armor.

"Your Majesty, the Turkic wolf cubs are about to attack the city again. Please Your Majesty Xu Chen lead his cavalry out of the city to charge and kill them."

In the past five days, Yanmen's attack and defense have been fierce, and all the fortifications around it have been lost. There is not a single fort camp left, so they can only shrink back into the city.

However, the bravery of the Sui army was indeed extraordinary. Although the Turks relied on a large number of soldiers, their siege methods were simple and lacked equipment, while Yanmen City was a first-class fortress in the world.

But even so, at critical times every day, the city had to risk their lives to get out of the city, otherwise, under the overwhelming attack of the Turkic arrows, the people on the top of the city would not be able to stand, let alone face the ants attacking the city. Turks.

At this time, we can only open the city gates, send fine cavalry to drive out the city, and kill and slash along the city wall, so as to resolve the fierce Turkic attack on the city.

However, this counterattack means too many casualties.

Every time they go out of the city, at least [-]% of them have to die in battle.

As the governor and prefect, although Wang Rengong was young, he performed extremely well. He attributed the Turkic attack as his dereliction of duty, so he asked for atonement and led the team out of the city to fight every time.

Although he was wounded in more than ten places, he still refused to let go of his duty of leading the charge.

The emperor hadn't slept well for several days, his face was pale, especially his eyes were red and swollen.

Although the Turks hadn't yet entered the city, their arrow rain was extremely violent, and they often even shot into the city with rockets.In Yanmen City, almost all the houses within a hundred steps of the city wall were demolished. Firstly, to defend against Turkic rockets, and secondly, to demolish the houses, and use wood and stones to go up to the city to defend the city.

The emperor stayed in a mansion in the center of the city, but he was still not safe. From time to time, Turkic people would throw stones in with catapult carts. Although the Turkic people were poor in technology, they also began to rush out some catapult carts in the past few days. Well, although this thing is not very accurate, it has a long range and can go over the city wall and directly hit the city, and sometimes even throw poisonous smoke and fireballs in.

Yang Guang had never experienced such a embarrassing moment.

"Wang Qing, you have suffered more than ten serious injuries, why don't you let other generals lead the team."

"Your Majesty, I can still fight again!"

The emperor looked at the veteran and couldn't help crying.

"If that's the case, then please, general, fight again."

"Your Majesty, if the old minister dies in battle, please ask Your Majesty to give compensation to the son of the minister."

At this time, Yang Guang also spared no expense.

"In the past, there were many armies at a disadvantage, and the Duke alone used one army to defeat the bandits. The ancients said that a defeated general cannot speak bravely, but all the generals can do whatever they want? Now, the Duke is appointed as the general of the assault, and he is expected to be the deputy. I bestow on you a good horse. Ten horses, one hundred taels of gold, bestowed on Marquis of Yanmen!"

"The subordinates of the public who follow out of the city will all be rewarded three times, and the rank will be increased by one level!"

"Thank you!"

Wang Rengong thanked Jun En and left.

He came to the barracks and roared.

"Where are Liu Wuzhou and Yuchi Gong?"

The two tough-looking Generals Hedong suddenly came out, "The last general is here."

"His Majesty has agreed for us to attack again, and promised that all the soldiers who go out of the city will be rewarded three times and upgraded by one level. Get ready and go out in armor!"

Liu Wuzhou waved the copper mace in his hand, and said with a smile, "Damn it, I can finally kill again. Jingde, can we fight again?"

Liu Wuzhou was Wang Rengong's subordinate when he was in Liaoxi before, but because of Luo Cheng's assassination, he felt guilty and resigned angrily and returned to his hometown in Mayi, Hedong.

Not long after, Wang Rengong also asked to be transferred from western Liaoning. The last time he set up an envoy, he was awarded the governor of Yanmen and the prefect of Mayi, commanding the three counties of Yanmen, Loufan, and Mayi, and commanding 2000 troops.

After Wang Rengong arrived in Mayi, he began to prepare the army, set up a military mansion, and trained soldiers. He personally went to Liu Wu Zhou's house to meet this old subordinate, and said that Luo Chengcheng wanted to transfer him to his side. The two sighed. At the same time, Wang Rengong recruited Liu Wuzhou to join him.

So Liu Wuzhou became an official again and served as General Yingyanglang under the Governor's Mansion of Yanmen.

And Yu Chigong is also from Mayi, a fellow villager with Liu Wuzhou. When he was young, he used blacksmithing as a profession. During the first and second Eastern Expeditions, he went to Zhuojun to build military weapons.

After Liu Wuzhou returned to his hometown, he got along quite well with Yu Chigong, and the two had a good relationship.He also knew his bravery ability, so he recommended Yu Chigong to Wang Rengong. After Wang Rengong tried his ability, he made an exception and awarded him the post of school lieutenant.

This time during the siege of Yanmen, Wang Rengong had come to meet the emperor early, so when the Turks came, the soldiers of the Yanmen Governor's Mansion did not react, and finally had to retreat into Yanmen in a hurry.

Yuchi Gong looks like a piece of black charcoal, black and strong, tall and big, with big arms and round waist, especially the leopard head and ring head, just like a fierce Zhang Fei.

Since he was young, he was a blacksmith, so he is very strong, and his family has been in the military for several generations. He also practiced horse riding and archery when he was young.

I heard Liu Wuzhou ask him if he still has strength.

Yu Chigong picked up the iron whip and whipped it down, a stone on the horse was smashed to pieces.

"You said that Turkic people's heads are as hard as this horse?"

Liu Wuzhou laughed loudly, "Excellent, we two brothers will compare each other later to see who kills more Turkic wolf cubs!"

Yu Chigong was not to be outdone either.

"Compare, but it's a bit of a prize. What if you lose?"

Liu Wuzhou smiled and said, "I have a few Goguryeo slaves in my family, if I don't kill as many as you, I will send you two."

"Okay, it's settled, but it's not a gift, but I lost two."

"You win first."

"I will definitely win you."

Liu Wuzhou and Yu Chigong put on their armor while talking, and after a while, both of them were fully equipped. Liu Wuzhou was holding a Zhangba horse lance, a bronze mace on his back, and a horned bow and horizontal knife on his waist.

Yuchi Gong holds an iron-wrapped black lacquered Zhangbama lance, a nine-section steel whip on his back, two bows, and three knives.

　Today's big push, desperately broke out.
