Chapter 500: Ban Dang knows the city officials
The city gate opened, and reinforcements and Turkic troops were rushing inside, in chaos. However, there were not as many Turkic soldiers nearby. They rushed into it and were quickly killed by random knives, and the guns and spears were stabbed into bloody holes.
"Enter the city, prepare to close the city gate!" Yang Zichong, the general of the Left Martial Guard, yelled. Some of the martial soldiers inside the city gate were fighting hard to resist the Turkic soldiers outside and the enemies rushing in.
Luo Zhaoyun rushed in and then ordered the soldiers to help snipe the Turkic soldiers and horses. The other soldiers quickly went in and made room to prevent them from crowding and trampling on each other, which would cause the city gate to fall.
The defenders on the top of the city saw reinforcements gradually entering the city, and began to lit firewood and threw it to the door. The raging fire burned the Turkic leather armor, and they turned into firemen one by one. They screamed, which blocked the subsequent influx of enemy troops.
"Bang!" The city gate was closed again, and more than 18,000 reinforcements entered, and three or four thousand died outside.
All the soldiers in the reinforcements breathed a sigh of relief at this moment, and finally came to the rescue smoothly, almost dead in the encirclement and suppression on the way.
"It's really General Luo!" Someone saw that the general wearing white armor was Luo Cheng, who couldn't help but cheer.
The reinforcements arrived, but the leader was still the famous young marshal who had been in the past ten years, and he couldn't help but feel some hope in his heart.
"Your Majesty is here--" At this time, a eunuch shouted loudly. Yang Guang brought some civil officials and attendants to the city gate to watch the battle, mainly to meet the reinforcements.
Luo Zhaoyun inserted his spear into the ground and walked forward. Chen Yu, Song Laosheng, Li Jiancheng, Yu Wenshi, Pei Qiantong and others followed and wanted to pay a visit to Yang Guang. They all came to save the emperor and show up at this time to express their loyalty and patriotism.
Yang Guang came, his steps were fast, the emperor's crown and jade crown on his head were shaking, and his golden dragon robe looked golden and brilliant in the sun. He had not seen him for a year. The middle-aged man who was domineering in autumn in the past has become much older, and his expression is no longer the kingly demeanor of happiness and anger, and his power without anger.
"I, Luo Cheng, pay homage to Your Majesty!" Luo Zhaoyun held his fists with both hands, knelt on one knee, and performed the ceremony of a general bowing to the king.
Behind it, more than a dozen generals, as well as dozens of captains, Sima, school captains, and thousands of cavalrymen, all knelt on their feet.
"Welcome to Your Majesty, long live my emperor!"
Yang Guang was a little excited. Finally, he saw the reinforcements and felt confident. Otherwise, he would be worried about the city being destroyed and the abandoned, and all forces refused to come to rescue him. If he lost his prestige, it would be different whether he could save the position of king here and his life.
"Luo Cheng, Chen Xu, Song Laosheng and other generals, thank you for your hard work. We have traveled thousands of miles to come to serve the king. As long as we break this trap, we will all be promoted and promoted when we go back, and all the soldiers will be rewarded!"
"Thank you, your Majesty—"
"Get up quickly." Yang Guang asked the soldiers to stand up. Seeing these people covered in blood, their armor, and their faces were unkempt. He knew that the journey must be full of hardships and hard battles. It was not easy to reach here alive.
"Luo Cheng, I am so happy to see you return safely. Why do you bring only these people? When will the main force arrive in the rear arrive?" Yang Guang said politely and immediately asked about the main force's rescue situation, because only one or two thousand people alone are not enough to defeat the Turkic army outside the city.
"When you go back to your Majesty, all the armies arrived at Xinkou one after another, approaching 200,000 soldiers and horses. They will soon march north to rescue the siege. I and the generals are worried about the safety of Your Majesty, so they only brought 30,000 elite cavalry to support Yanmen County. As long as they hold on for another ten days, the Turkic army will retreat." Luo Zhaoyun explained.
When Yang Guang, Yuwen Shu, Pei Ju, Yu Shiji, Feng Deyi and others heard his remarks, they were so confident and calm that they were all much more relaxed and felt that they would not be trapped here.
Next, these reinforcements were assigned a new task by Yang Guang, and they temporarily rested for an hour, and then replaced the defenders on the city. These defenders, the elderly, weak, sick and disabled, were guarding the city every day, and their physical strength was consumed so much. They had to be replaced and allowed to retreat to rest for two days.
"Luo Cheng, follow me back and discuss a plan to defeat the enemy."
"Before I came out again, I was ready to defeat the enemy and the effect will be seen soon. I just happened to report to Your Majesty."
"Oh, you already have the method to break the enemy, that's better. Let's go, and then go back to the palace." Yang Guang smiled, wondering how to repel hundreds of thousands of Turkic troops.
The Yanmen County Yaman was called a palace by Yang Guang. The palace maids, eunuchs and guards were all complete, and Empress Xiao and several concubines were also there. After hearing that reinforcements arrived, they were all looking forward to it.
Luo Zhaoyun met Empress Xiao again. She hadn't seen her for a year. The charm of this country is still as beautiful as before. Just like the scene a few years ago, her figure and appearance have not changed much. Even in this adversity, she is still so dignified and elegant, mature and charming.
Queen Xiao saw the living Luo Cheng, intact, alive, covered in silver iron armor, majestic. In addition to feeling hope of getting out of trouble, she was also happy for her daughter. Ruyi had been waiting for so many years and almost thought something had happened to him. The feeling that he had deep roots but could not get was too painful.
"It's great to come back. I'm relieved to see you safe. I wish her, I'm so sad." Empress Xiao sighed softly, "Not only knows the daughter is the mother. She knows the most about her daughter's thoughts and pains."
Luo Zhaoyun was also a little sorry in his heart. He thought of Ruyi. That girl was in her early twenties. In the Sui and Tang dynasties, the first thirteen and fourteen girls could get married. The sixteen and seventeen were the regular marriage age. The dignified Sui princess came to her for ten years and had not yet married, which would have damaged the royal face. There was Luo Cheng's engagement before. After his life and death were unknown last year, many ministers in the court proposed to let Princess Ruyi choose another son-in-law, which put her under greater pressure. If Queen Xiao had not been persuaded by Yang Guang, she would have really been able to change the princess.
"I am in danger of disaster. When I come back this time, I will naturally marry Ruyi and take good care of her!" Luo Zhaoyun knew that he could never escape, so he simply agreed and chose to take responsibility.
"That's good." Queen Xiao's mood improved. She was happy for her daughter who was still sad and sad in the palace of Luoyang, the Eastern Capital.
At this time, Yang Guang came over and asked Luo Cheng what strategy he had to defeat the enemy.
Luo Cheng then explained the three strategies he had said to Qu Tutong and others in Xinkou, but it was a little polished, which made Yang Guang very happy after hearing this. It was true that he believed that the Turkic army was not a problem and that he had the possibility of getting out of trouble.
"Okay, great, you did a pretty job and deserve to be my lucky general of the Sui Dynasty, my good son-in-law!" Yang Guang was even more respectful to Luo Zhaoyun at this time. If it weren't for Luo Cheng's efforts, the Yanmen Siege would have been difficult to break. At that time, the fate of his Great Sui Emperor would be miserable.
