svetikya Chapter 179
Chapter 179
Yanmen closed.
The Turkic Shibi Khan looked at the soldiers who were retreating again, his expression extremely gloomy.
This is already the sixth time.
In just one day, he ordered his army to attack Yanmen Pass six times.
Attack once every hour.
But to no avail every time.
Shibi Khan originally thought that with each attack, the morale of Yanmen Pass would inevitably plummet.
Maybe after a few attacks, someone inside Yanmen Pass opened the city gate and surrendered.
But Shibi Khan found out that he was wrong.
After one siege attack after another, the morale of the soldiers defending the city in Yanmen Pass did not have the slightest tendency to decline.
In this way, hundreds of thousands of iron horses of the Turks were actually blocked from a wild goose gate.
If this is passed on, how can he still be a khan?
Just lead the neck and kill yourself!
"The Yanmen Gatekeeper..."
Shibi Khan had realized at this moment that it would be very difficult to guard the Yanmen.
If it drags on like this, even if Yanmen Pass is finally captured, it will be a few days later.
At that time, Dasui had probably been ready for a long time, and set countless traps waiting for them.
"Several generals."
Shibi Khan turned his gaze to the other tribal leaders.
Several tribal leaders looked at each other, and finally He spoke: "In that case, I will wait to send troops together and directly take down Yanmen Pass." "
Originally, they did not want to use their soldiers to participate in the siege of the city.
Preserve your strength, and only when you get to the Central Plains can you burn and loot well.
It's just that now, if you still don't make a move, I'm afraid it will delay the big thing.
For the leaders of the eight major tribes, capturing Yanmen Pass and invading the hinterland of the Great Sui is the most important thing at present.
If you are stopped outside the Yanmen Gate, there will obviously be problems.
"In that case, it is late today, let the soldiers rest, wait until tomorrow morning, and directly step through the Yanmen Pass."
Shibi Khan said slowly.
Although they all came from the Turkic steppe, they were independent and shirked each other.
Shibi Khan was also reluctant to mobilize them.
As a result, not a single Yanmen Pass could be attacked.
But now, after realizing that they could not continue to drag on, several tribal leaders certainly knew what to do.
"It's so good."
"Just do as the Great Khan says."
Several other tribal leaders nodded slightly.
In the eyes of several tribal leaders, it was not that they could not attack Yanmen Pass, but they were unwilling to use their own forces.
If they were a little more serious, the gate would be closed, and the palm would be broken.
But the Turkic Shibi Khan frowned and looked at several tribal leaders: "If you still can't break through the Yanmen Pass tomorrow, you can only show the hole card first!" "
This time, since Shibi Khan dared to join forces with several tribal leaders, of course, he made a perfect plan.
Among them, Yu even invited several masters from the grassland to accompany him.
Turkic Shibi Khan's eyes flickered, and he didn't say anything more.
......
Yanmen closed inside.
The guards looked tired and sat alone at the head of the city.
"General."
A soldier approached and handed over his hand.
"How's it going?"
"How is the consumption in the city?"
The guard of the Yanmen Gate fixed his mind, forcibly raised his spirits, and asked.
"General Qiyu, the bow and arrow are almost exhausted, and there is still some hot oil and other things."
"More than 12,000 soldiers died and more than 35,000 were injured."
When the guard heard this, his brows frowned slightly.
This is only the first day, it is such a large number of casualties, the situation is very bad.
The guard got up and looked out of the gate.
The Turkic army of hundreds of thousands is like locusts, and the black pressure is pressed, and ordinary people can't see anything at all.
It's just that the more the Yanmen guard looks at it, the more ugly his face becomes.
"Oops, trouble."
The guard said astringently.
The soldier next to him followed his gaze suspiciously: "General, where is the trouble?" "
The guard sighed lightly: "The formation of the Turkic army has changed, I am afraid that it has completely joined forces." "
The reason why the defenders had the confidence to hold Yanmen Pass for two days was because the Turkic army was composed of several major tribes and was not single-minded.
As long as the first day of defense made the Turkic army realize that capturing Yanmen Pass would require a great price, several other tribal leaders would probably cherish their feathers and would not be willing to send troops.
But now, the defenders were vaguely aware that the formation of the Turkic army had changed.
There is only one possibility for this change.
The Turkic army was ready to put aside its prejudices and take Yanmen Pass with all its might.
"General, what then?"
The soldier next to him turned pale.
"What to do?"
The guard of Yanmen Pass looked straight: "If you want to serve the country with this body, why should you be born into Yanmen Pass?" "
"If the Turkic army wants to break through the Yanmen Pass, it must step on my corpse."
Determination appeared in the tone of the Yanmen guard.
As a courtier of the Great Sui, after hearing that His Majesty has a good way to govern the country, the cold people in the world are happy.
As the defender of Yanmen Pass, it was absolutely impossible for him to surrender to the Turks.
