In the dark night, people were surrounded by heads. Thousands of troops appeared from the night, with dense heads and countless numbers. With the loud command, the first Turkic infantry formation began to advance. Tens of millions of feet wearing cowhide boots were raised and landed on the ground. Although the pace was not uniform, the entire array still maintained a good formation.

"Dong, dong, dong!" With the rhythmic and neat footsteps, the solid city walls of Yanmen were trembling. The Turkic soldiers raised their weapons while moving, shouting: "The heaven of immortality is guaranteed!" The sound of the earth shook. The swords were like mountains, the guns were like forests, and the steel ocean was dazzling, and the pressure of millions of people gathered came towards us.

After the roar, the Turks began to run slowly from walking to slowly, and finally charged quickly. Before the Sui army on the city had recovered, the first batch of Turkish siege troops had already rushed to the moat, and one simple wooden bridge after another was built on the moat. The Turkic infantry carrying the ladder behind did not stop at all. They stepped on the newly paved wooden bridge and rushed through the moat, placing one ladder after another on the east wall where there were not many defenders at this time.

Behind the charge of the Turks, there were "crying" sounds everywhere that made people's teeth soft, and the twisting strings of the catapult cart were pulled apart. Everyone was waiting for the upcoming cruel battle.

More Turkic soldiers had already rushed under the city wall like a tide, but there were only sporadic sounds on the city. Compared to the loud noise over there, the city on the city was a bit too quiet. The defenders above the city were extremely frightened when they saw the Turkic people coming like a tide. At this time, everyone realized that the fierce attack in the west was just a trick of the Turkic people, but the real attack was here. The commanding officer on the city was busy and desperately sounded the alarm bell at the city. The sound was heard for a long time.

The Turks did not care about the human-shaped reaction of the Sui Dynasty on the city. Shibi Khan's Golden Wolf Shiwei was responsible for the supervision of the battle here. The Golden Wolf Shiwei carried their Golden Wolf head scimitar and shouted, "The one who retreated in the face of the battle will be killed, and the one who first attacked the city will be rewarded!" At this moment, he heard a strange "buzzing" sound.

"kill!"

A series of howling sounds suddenly came from the darkness. One hundred chuáng crossbows and one thousand Fuyuan crossbows were fired behind them at the same time. Single crossbows were fired at the same time. Large pieces of flying arrows were like dark clouds. The dark clouds instantly turned into raindrops and metal waterfalls fell from the sky! The arrows fired by the crossbows were so powerful that they had already rushed to the first Turkic charge troops under the city. Countless people suddenly flew backwards and twisted into unnatural postures in mid-air, flipped and shot into hedgehogs. Those chuáng crossbows needed hundreds of people to fire at one time, and they could fire seven powerful crossbows at one time or a huge iron crossbow. At this time, facing the dense Turkic city defenders chose to fire. Seven large crossbows passed through the Turkic vanguards with strong explosive power, just like a comb, instantly plowed out seven blank areas.

For a moment, the entire eastern city wall was like a sudden eruption of volcano. Countless arrows covered the sky and the sun. In this terrible metal storm, the flesh and blood body without armor and shield protection was too late to shout "Help", and the ladder was instantly shattered. This was definitely the most terrible nightmare. Screams, shēn sang, blood, death, panicked soldiers trampled on each other, screaming, arrow rain flew over like locusts, and the sharp sound of arrows breaking through the air filled the entire night sky, forcing the bravest soldiers to go crazy. Arrows were everywhere!

Arrow! Arrow!

Shibi thought that no one had discovered his feint attack plan. In fact, although there were few soldiers and horses in Yanmen City at this time, they were all the most elite imperial guards in the Sui Dynasty.

Even the middle and lower-level officers were mostly elites in the army. Especially after Yang Guang cleared a large number of playboys from the imperial guards several times, the strength of the imperial guards increased to a higher level. If the imperial guards fought cavalry battles with the Turks, they might only be able to play a match. However, in such a strong city offensive and defensive battle, the Turks were several streets behind.

The world's majestic pass of Yanmen is the gateway of Hedong's throat. Although there are not many soldiers and horses here, there are absolutely sufficient various equipment. The most powerful crossbow machine in the Sui Dynasty was numerous in the city. Tonight, the Turks attacked Xicheng fiercely. In less than half an hour, many veterans in the city had already discovered that it was a bit abnormal. Although it was dark and it was impossible to see the entire battlefield situation, they still quickly judged that the Turks had to attack the city tonight at most 50,000 or 60,000 people.

At present, there are as many as 150,000 Turks under Yanmen City, and even if there are some casualties before, there are still 130,000 to 130,000. If the Turks want to attack at night, they cannot send only 300,000 horses without doing their best. After thinking about the city wall on the east after the attack, the veterans in the army immediately estimated that the Turks might be playing feint attacks and want to attack the east and west. After some discussion, the generals of the Imperial Guard simply took a plan and secretly mobilized enough crossbows and archers to guard the head of the east city.

The result was as they expected. As soon as the Turks used their tricks, the Sui generals laughed.

In the flash, it was as if suddenly being hit by violent lightning. The Turkic soldiers charged in the front row were overturning their horses. Turkic soldiers sprayed blood and rose up in the air, screaming and falling to the ground. Their bodies were instantly pierced, and the arrows shot the second person with blood and flew: Some were even nailed to the ground by the whole person, and the blood was blooming in the air. The soldiers screamed and cried, and you hit me and pushed the ground into a ball, trampling on each other: Some people were lying down and avoiding, but they were trampled on others in panic, trampling to death. The Turkic soldiers kept falling down, with short and sharp terrible screams on the verge of death. The Turkic soldiers who were injured in the arrow rolled on the ground, and their long howlings were trampled in tragedy.

Seeing this, the infantry in the back row immediately felt frightened. Someone tried to turn around, but was immediately killed by the Golden Wolf Shi Guards. Military orders were frequently passed, cold and ruthless, rush! Fight! Even if the last one left in death, I will fight for me!

Shibi looked behind and his eyes widened and almost fainted. Unexpectedly, his plan had been learned by the Sui army. Seeing that the first group of defenders who rushed to the city were almost dead, Shibi waved his sword violently.

"The entire army immediately adjusted the direction of the attack, and all the troops attacked the Ximian Chengguan, with the catapults and the archers covering it! Ben Khan asked you to cover the Xicheng for me so that no one of the damn cunning Sui people could raise their heads."

With a command from Shibi, teams of cavalry were sent to the cavalry and immediately passed the order to send the order to the latest order without hesitation. The catapults were moved to the west wall, and the selected tens of thousands of archers were all carrying bows and arrows, and the crossbows seized from the cities of Dingxiang, Mayi and Yanmen counties moved to the west.

In order to prevent the tragedy just now, Shibi ordered three thousand Turkic soldiers to hold large and small shields to form a shield array in front to cover the Turkic infantry's advance. Hearing the officer's orders, the shield hands stood up one after another, and raised the shields high above their heads. In a blink of an eye, a huge steel square array suddenly appeared. The countless shields reflected the light of fire, just like countless candles suddenly lit up under the city. Teams of Turkic infantry shouted and charged, and they bent over the steel ceiling and rushed towards them quickly.

Under the cover of the roof supported by this shield, the Turkic soldiers quickly carried more ladders to the west city. The 50,000 Turkic soldiers who were originally attacking the well also received Shibi's order and immediately changed from feint attack to frontal attack. Many Turkic soldiers, who were supported by the army, charged forward, and did not forget to grab the wine bag and pour a few sips of strong wine.

Li Shimin, who had just been promoted to the General of Zuotun Guard during the day, wore bright light armor and waved his one-arm order, "Prepare the catapult cart, one hundred steps ahead, the fireball blasts are freely shot! Let it go!" Suddenly, although the people set up a shield ceiling, most of the Turkic shields were covered with raw cowhide and other animal skins on them. Moreover, most of their shields were small shields of cavalry. This time, in order to attack the city, Shibi ordered many large wooden shields. Due to the rush of time, these shields were all wooden, and there was no cowhide.

The "cracking" spring sounds are constantly being launched, just like the sun suddenly flying through the air, countless fireballs made of hay with oil fell from the sky with a shrill sound of wind, falling from the sky like a meteor fire rain. The Turks didn't even have time to dodge, and there was no shield to resist such weapons that specifically restrained wooden shields. Large pieces of wooden shields were hit by the fireball and quickly caught fire. Under the shield, there were tens of thousands of Turkic soldiers, but they were all shrouded in this sea of ​​fire. The Turkic soldiers threw away their shields one after another, and countless Turkic soldiers were ignited by the fire on the shields.

Compared with the actual killing effect, the shocking effect of the sky and sea of ​​fire was dozens of times greater. Many Turkic soldiers had seen such a fireball attack for the first time. Seeing that their companions died so miserably, the sense of horror controlled the minds of the Turkic infantry. They screamed hysterically, threw down the shields in their hands and scattered their heads. The neatly arranged shields split into pieces under the dense attack of the catapult cart, and the flames were everywhere.

Shibi faced the soldiers who turned around and fled back, and ordered the Golden Wolf Shi Guards to put arrows without hesitation.

Flying rain of arrows passed by, and the Turkic soldiers rushing in front fell one after another. At this moment, all the Turks finally understood that they might die when they advance, but they still had a glimmer of hope to survive, but they would definitely die if they retreated. Under the threat of death, the helpless Turks turned around again, carried a scimitar, a small round shield, and a cloud ladder and rushed towards Yanmen City.

Before Shibi strode to the position of the catapult cart, he cut off a small tribal leader in charge of the catapult cart and the crossbow troops without saying a word. He personally began to organize the catapult cart and the crossbow troops to counterattack the catapult cart and the archer court on the top of the city.

The moat under the city had been filled with corpses, and countless Turkic people rushed towards the city. Under Shibi's personal command, the Turkic catapult carts launched a fixed-point attack on the Sui army's catapult carts on the city. Tiger rocks flew across the sky and smashed the catapult carts on the city one after another. Shibi soon used the other way to attack the other, and the fireballs that had just been driven into smashing tail flames on the Yanmen City.

The powerful archer troops of 50,000 crossbowmen also began to show their power. With their number advantages and shooting advantages, the human crossbow troops gradually suppressed the Sui army on the top of the city.

After losing the catapult cart and crossbowmen's troops to suppress the Turkic siege troops, the Turks rushed in like ants, and ladders after ladders re-built the city walls. The fearless Turks rushed to the city again one after another, and engaged in bloody close contact with the defending troops.

From time to time, people were caught in arrows and fell to the ground. The defenders were lying on their bodies and bloody handprints. Arrows flew across the air. The messengers ran around the city, and the calls came one after another, and the sound of the catapults and the sound of strong bows fired continuously, which made people's eardrums ached. All the reserve teams were put into battle, and even the residents of the city joined the ranks of assisting the battle. Although they could not draw the bows and arrows themselves, they formed various teams to transport arrows and stones to the soldiers, ignited a large pot, carried buckets of hot oil on the city, poured them head-on as the Turkic soldiers head-on. The climbing Turkic soldiers immediately burst into flames and howled ghosts and wolves.

Yanmen Pass in the dark night has completely become a ghost realm, with ghosts crying and wolf howling everywhere, fireballs flying, limbs flying across, and blood splattering. At this time, Yanmen Pass is like a huge slaughterhouse and a huge meat grinder. It is not only swallowing the lives of the Turks, but also madly devouring the lives of the Sui army on the city.

The Turks were already attacking wildly, without any interval. The battle at night was no longer a round or round, and it was completely continuous and the responsibility was endless. After four hours of the battle, everyone was exhausted, sweating and dry, dry and wet, and there was no time to drink a sip of water. Faced with such a critical situation, Queen Xiao couldn't sit still. On the one hand, she was worried about the emperor on the top of the city, and on the other hand, she felt that the city was in danger and she should do her best.

Empress Xiao gathered all the palace maids and eunuchs who accompanied him, and together with Princess Izumo, they took them to deliver the food and prepared Qingshasha to the city. On the top of the city where arrows flew around, the queen and the princess also changed into tight outfits of polo playing in the past, put on light leather armor, and brought food and water to the city.

When Empress Xiao handed a bowl of water to the emperor Yang Guang who had been running at the city wall for a night, Yang Guang couldn't help but be shocked. He did not expect that since childhood, he was the princess of Liang Kingdom, and later became the princess of the Sui Kingdom. The queen who had been living in the palace forbidden was so courageous that she personally stepped onto the city wall where the arrows flew across the city wall.

Seeing the emperor holding the water still in a daze, Empress Xiao reached out to help Yang Guang wipe away a trace of blood from his face and smiled slightly, "Your Majesty, there is no fragrant tea to quench your thirst, but please use clear water."
