Chapter 783

The three coalition forces of Datong led their troops southward along the Sanggan River to the front of Juzhu Mountain. The governor of Sage Mi Haiwan invited the governor of Anqing Shi Jingcun, and Qi Bizhang entered the account to discuss matters...

"Yanmen is dangerous, the city is high and the walls are strong, and the terrain is dangerous and solid. At that time, 400,000 Khitan cavalry surrounded Emperor Yang of Sui, but it was not enough to stop for several months. Although our Datong army now has 60,000 troops, it is probably difficult to conquer it in a short time. It is better to lead the Zhenwu army and the Tiande army to attack, and invite Xia Yan army and the Hedong army to attack Shatuo."

Qi Zizhang smiled and said, "The one-eyed wolf is trapped in the quagmire of Hebei at this time, and it is difficult to turn around for a moment. The King of Qin is already like thunder, breaking the four states of Shatuo, and the soldiers are forcing Weizhou. Li Kexiu has been wiped out all his troops, and the Liu family has divided 20,000 troops to rescue. At this time, Yanmen is in an empty time. There are only 5,000 Shatuo soldiers in the pass, plus 20,000 newly recruited Han soldiers. With this little force, don't we dare to fight?"

The governor of Anqing, Shi Jingcun, also nodded. This time, the dispatch of troops to Yanmen was secretly invited by King Li Jing of Qin. The King of Qin had already promised to capture Yanmen Town, and the Qin army would only have the four prefectures in the front of Shanqi and Weizhou. The remaining two prefectures of Xin will be returned to the third division of the Datong Army.

This proposal made the Datong Army very moved. The three divisions now lead the Datong Army, but in fact, the Datong Army only had the territory of Yunshuo and Anqing. Therefore, they urgently wanted to kill Li Keyong, the former rival. In particular, the Sage and Anqing tribes, who were once the three Shatuo tribes, were eager to get rid of Shatuo and then go quickly. According to the agreement of the three tribes, after the matter was completed, Yunzhou was returned to the Sage tribe, Shuozhou was returned to the Anqing tribe, and Xindian two states were returned to the Qizi tribe.

At this time, one more force joins, and the final victory will inevitably be divided by one more force. Neither Shi Jingcun nor Qiezhang wanted to do so.

Mi Haiwan said again: "Our army went south all the way, and the troops were exhausted. Why not rest at the gates first, develop strength and then send troops to attack the city?"

Qi Zizhang opposed: "Our army must take advantage of the new sharpness and attack the key points in one fell swoop. How can we defeat the sharpness itself?"

Mi Haiwan was a little reluctant to fight with Shatuo's soldiers, worried that if they fought too badly, even if they took Yanmen, if Li Jing led his troops in the future, he would be afraid that Li Jing would pick peaches and even rebel against the generals and swallow their territory. However, he was not convenient to say these words clearly, but Shi Jingcun and Qi Zhuzhang were determined to attack the problem immediately.

After one side discussed, he finally decided to conquer the city as planned.

Next, Mi Haiwan, Shi Jingcun, and the three generals Qi Zhuzhang led their troops out and drove them down to the gate.

The three generals stood under the banner and looked at the gate from afar. The defenders were as if they were facing a great enemy. They couldn't help but laugh and ordered them to attack the city.

Sixty thousand Datong Army launched an attack on the city, with loud drums and attacking in batches. On the top of the city, Li Siyuan dressed as Li Cunjin's guards, and stood behind Li Cunjin to watch the Datong Army siege.

The Datong Army attacked fiercely, but although Li Siyuan on the city had been hiding the troops that had quietly entered the city last night, just with the 15,000 troops and the strong and strong soldiers in Li Cunjin's hands, and the cooperation in defending the young and strong, it was enough to support it for a while.

The first day of the offensive and defensive battle was innovating. One side attacked fiercely and the other side defended to the death. The war drums were like thunder, and they fought bloody for one day. It was not until dusk that both sides stopped fighting.

The Datong army attacked fiercely for one moment but failed. Mi Haiwan and others returned to the camp to discuss and said, "I am now watching the city. Several times our army almost attacked the city. The situation of the defenders was critical, but there were no prepared troops to attack. It seems that Li Keyong has not returned to Yanmen yet. If we follow the attack today, we will add another force, and perhaps Ming said that there will be hope to attack the city."

"But now, with such a fierce attack, our army suffered a lot of casualties!" Shi Jingcun said.

"We can't hesitate at this time. Li Keyong may come back at any time. We have to hurry up. As long as we can capture Yanmen, the casualties are more serious, everything is worth it." Capturing Yanmen is of great significance to Qi Zhuozhang. According to the agreement, although he will hand over Yunzhou to Mi Haiwan, he will get the Xindai two states and double his territory. How can such a good thing be missed?

The next morning, the three troops of Datong led their troops to continue to attack the city, and the offensive became more and more fierce. The casualties of both sides were heavy, and the corpses were piled up like mountains under Yanmen City. After dark, the three troops suffered more than 3,000 losses, and the defenders on the city were as casualties as heavy.

There were 15,000 soldiers and horses in the city. After the battle between the two, there were only less than 10,000 people left.

Li Cunjin said to Li Siyuan worriedly: "If you fight like this bloody battle, you will be unable to defend the city after two more days."

Li Siyuan knew that Li Cunjin wanted him to send his troops to fight, so he waved his hand, "No, it's not time yet, I'll have another day to defend myself, and then I will have a plan to defeat the enemy!"

On the third day, the Datong Army, who was worried that Li Keyong would return to the rescue, increased its attack again, and did not count casualties at all. Several times that day, the Datong Army attacked the city, and finally Li Cunjin led his personal guards to put out the fire everywhere, and finally survived until dark. However, after dark, the Datong Army did not retreat, but ignited the fire at night.

After a night of melee, Li Cunjin had only more than 3,000 scarred and exhausted soldiers left in his hands. At most, they could only hold on for one day!

Li Siyuan invited Li Cunjin, covered in blood, and said, "The time is almost over. Someone has a plan to defeat the enemy. General Kang Junli in Yanmen City was killed last time for colluding with Li Quanzhong to plot against rebellion, but the king was kind and pardoned his family. Kang family was a wealthy family with more than a thousand servants. The Kang family has been worried about Kang Junli's murder. These days, I have been sending people to monitor the Kang family. Last night, I found that a servant of the Kang family wanted to sneak out of the city. After taking it down, I found a letter. After the interrogation, I already knew that Kang was dissatisfied with the king because of Kang Junli's murder. Seeing that Yanmen was in danger and the enemy was in great power, I wanted to surrender to the enemy."

"What happened?" Li Cunjin also knew that Kang Junli was killed. He vaguely heard that it was a man-killing, so he pardoned the Kang family. However, he did not expect that the Kang family would cause chaos in secret at this time.

"This is a good thing." Li Siyuan said with a smile, "This is the breaking point that someone has been waiting for!"

"Does my brother want it?"

"That's right, we can use the trick. The Kang family has been taken down by all. Last night, he sent someone to send Kang's letters out of the city, sent a letter to surrender, and secretly asked the Datong army to advance tonight, hoping to respond to the inside. The thieves' army attacked so fiercely last night, probably to prepare for the troops tonight. If the three Datong members come, we can lure them into the city. Then we will close the door and fight dogs, ambush the troops, and defeat the thieves in one fell swoop. Although the three Datong members are fierce, they did not expect this to be a plan, and the second they reacted, and they would never have imagined that they had already led 20,000 elite troops back to Yanmen for a long time, and waited for the effort to do it. They had been waiting for this day."

Li Cunjin couldn't help but admire him when he heard this. Li Siyuan was indeed bold and meticulous. At this time, he dared to keep his troops still and wait for this opportunity. But thinking about it, I'm afraid that if Kang did not rebel, he would also force them to rebel.

Li Siyuan was full of ambushing troops, waiting for the enemy to come.

On that day, the Datong Army continued to send people to attack the city during the day, but the momentum of the attack was obviously much weaker. It was obvious that they were preparing for the attack on the city at night.

After dark, Mi Haiwan and others led their troops back, and the army was divided into three units. Qi Zhuzhang led the troops in front, Shi Jing was in existence, and Mi Haiwan was in the back, until the bottom of Yanmen Pass.

After quietly arriving at the city, Qi Zizhang looked from a distance and saw people on the city, flags flying. Among the black flags, there was an arrow tree and a scattered bucket under the tower, with five lanterns hanging on it, which was the secret code agreed with Kang. Qi Zizhang was overjoyed and said to the left and right: "Now, the Yanmen Jiedushi is one!"

Qi Zizhang immediately ordered the fire to be raised and contact the city.

It was just after the first update, the moonlight had not yet risen, and the sky was dim and the earth was dark.

The Qibi tribe raised a torch under the city and shook it. After a while, he heard the sound of horns blowing on the city, and then shouted everywhere, and the fires rang out from the door. Qibi tribe waited nervously under the city. After a while, the city gate opened wide and the suspension bridge was laid down.

Qi Zizhang was excited and shouted, and he rushed forward first. Countless warriors of the Iron Rodriguez tribe behind him rushed forward, rushed into the city.

After breaking into the city gate, Qi Zizhang led his people to rush to the inner city. Along the way, he saw some people and horses, and they cut and slashed directly without distinguishing their enemies and friends. Soon, they had already rushed into the gate of Yacheng and were about to rush into the inner city in one fell swoop. But suddenly there was a drum sound, and then there were fires on Yacheng, and countless figures suddenly appeared. They all opened their bows and arrows, shouting and shooting down.

For a moment, the arrows were like rain. The Qiezi warriors who rushed in front were all shot and fell down. Qiezizhang waved his mace to block it, but he was also hit by several arrows and fell off his horse. If it weren't for the double armor on his body, he would have been killed in battle at this moment.

Qi Zizhang had already understood and knew that he had fallen into the enemy's plan. However, he still had luck in his heart. As far as he knew, there were only 15,000 people in Yanmen City, but under their fierce attacks in the past few days, the defenders in the city had no more than 5,000 troops.

It would be ridiculous if the Shatu people thought they had sued these five thousand remaining troops and wanted to defeat them. They had already entered the city, and the Shatu people were seeking death.

But at this moment, countless thunder sounded suddenly on the empty streets around, and teams of black-armored cavalry rushed out. Those people were not Datong Army, but Shatuo Cavalry!

Qi Zizhang was shocked. Judging from the appearance of these cavalrymen, they were definitely not attacked by them for a few days and were covered in scarred Yanmen. These soldiers were fierce and fierce. Where did they come from?

In a panic, Qi Zizhang jumped onto a war horse led by the guard, pulled it back and shouted: "Retreat!"

The entire Yanmen City became a big battlefield at this time, with fire and shouting and killing everywhere.

Teams of black-armored cavalry were pouring out from the empty streets, and teams of archers suddenly appeared on the high roofs on the streets.

Suddenly, many people rushed out of the streets, carrying wood and stones, carrying cabinets and horses, and blocking the streets.

All three divisions of the Datong Army had entered the city. Li Siyuan personally led the rushing capital to rush out from one side. Li Cunxin also led the Yuhou soldiers from the headquarters to come. Li Cunjin led his troops out of Yacheng. For a moment, although the Datong Army was crowded, they were trapped in the ocean of Shatuo people. There were enemy troops everywhere, and they were cut off from the front and back and blocked from all sides. Even the people would shoot cold arrows and throw dark guns. Even the fierce people were carrying big sticks, kitchen knives and hunting knives in groups to intercept and kill the divided Datong Army everywhere.

Mi Haiwan led his troops to turn around and fight to the city gate to leave the city. Countless tinctures rolled down from the city, and arrows fell like rain.

Datong was like a rat trapped in a fire stove, completely in chaos. At this time, the soldiers and horses, who were several times more powerful than Shatuo's army, were killed in chaos, and they rushed to the city gate, trampling on each other along the way.
