"30,000 cavalrymen. The remaining 120,000 troops will guard the Hexi Corridor and the four counties of the West Sea.”
After thinking for a while, Yang Ji made some changes to his proposal.
"Yes, Your Highness."
Fang Xuanling and Yin Shi had no objections.
"Military Advisor Fang, do you have any plans?"
After determining the number of troops to set off, it was time to lead the army to Yanmen Pass.
Asking the resourceful Fang Xuanling about this matter was the most appropriate.
"There are many rumors in the world that Your Highness and His Majesty are not on good terms.”
"If we don't take the official road and set off from the northern part of the Hexi Corridor, we'll take a detour around the grasslands and descend on the border of Bingzhou. This is the rear of the Turks, and when that time comes, we'll definitely be able to catch them off guard.”
Fang Xuanling's lips curled up slightly as he thought of a brilliant plan almost instantly.
When the army reached the rear of the Turks, it would be a brutal massacre.
"I agree with the military counselor's plan!"
The Underworld Master stroked his beard and laughed loudly. This plan was truly wonderful.
"In that case, immediately assemble the army and prepare to set off!”
Yang Ji sneered and issued an order.
"Yes!"
The loyal Li Cunxiao immediately replied. He and the Underworld Master needed to quickly gather their troops and set off at lightning speed.
After all, the situation at Yanmen Pass was urgent and could not be delayed!
When everyone went to deal with the relevant matters, Yang Ji turned around and glanced at the long halberd hanging on the long shelf.
The halberd was entirely crimson red, and there was a lifelike giant dragon carved on it.
"It seems that this king's sharpness has been restrained for a long time. The Turks have forgotten their fear. Now is the time to let them return to their bloody days.”
The corner of Yang Ji's mouth curled up slightly, and a cold smile was released, making people feel inexplicably shocked.
……
It had already been five days since the Turkic army of three hundred and fifty thousand besieged Yanmen Pass.
During this period, the Turkic army launched several fierce attacks, and on several occasions, they even managed to reach the top of the city walls. If not for the Sui army's bravery and determination to kill the enemy, the Yanmen Pass would have been breached.
This time, the Sui army at Yanmen Pass had an estimated 150,000 troops.
Among them, there are 30,000 elite soldiers of Xiaoguo Wei, led by Yuwen Chengdu.
Bingzhou border elite 60,000, commander-in-chief to protect children.
Taiyuan had 30,000 soldiers, and the commander was Li Yuan. In truth, Taiyuan had more than 30,000 soldiers, but they also needed soldiers to defend it. After all, they were afraid that the Turks would attack Taiyuan instead of attacking Yanmen Pass, and the situation in the Central Plains would only worsen.
In addition, Yang Guang had issued a declaration to the world and obtained thirty thousand soldiers. These thirty thousand soldiers were uneven and would be difficult to defeat against the Turks.
In fact, Yang Guang had issued the document to target the various aristocratic families. Once the aristocratic families responded, the number of troops would not be just 150,000, and the current situation at Yanmen Pass would not have happened.
Even Yang Guang's most fundamental goal had been achieved, but unfortunately, the various aristocratic families did not respond. The main reason was that the generals in the various regions were unable to mobilize their troops. These 150,000 troops were also the relevant troops that could be mobilized at the moment.
The other one hundred and fifty thousand soldiers had not gathered at Yanmen Pass. Some were east of the gate, while others were west. They were also surrounded by the Turkic army.
Yanmen Pass in the middle had also suffered many fierce attacks from the Turks.
However, the Sui army suffered heavy losses. If this continued, it would be a matter of time before the Yanmen Pass was breached.
A feeling of despair spread among the Sui army.
"Khagan, it has been five days since we attacked Yanmen Pass.”
In the Turkic tent, the Turkic Anashi Shibi Khan was dressed in military uniform and seated on a tiger skin throne.
"How's the battle situation?"
Shibi Khagan asked in a low voice.
"Reporting to Khan, the Sui army is still fighting to the death, but their morale is low, so they shouldn't be able to hold on for too long.”
Nur, who also had the surname Anashi, was a trusted aide of Shibi Khan and one of the commanders.
"Tomorrow or so, we will attack Yanmen Pass with all our strength. We must capture the Emperor of Great Sui alive as soon as possible.”
Shibi Khagan gave a death order.
The military situation was changing every minute and second. Moreover, the Yanmen Pass was the territory of the Great Sui Dynasty. If reinforcements arrived in the Great Sui Dynasty, then the situation was likely to take a turn for the worse.
In order to prevent any accidents, Shibi Khan decided to quickly attack Yanmen Pass and capture Yang Guang alive.
"In addition, ambush some soldiers on the official road and other places where reinforcements may arrive. If you see Great Sui's reinforcements, kill them as soon as possible.”
As soon as the order was given, Shibi Khagan lowered his voice and gave a secret order.
"Yes, sir!"
Nu Er cupped his hands in response and quickly retreated to issue a series of military orders.
"Yang Guang, can you hold on until tomorrow?”
Shibi Khagan narrowed his eyes slightly, his expression extremely smug.
On the other side, Yanmen Pass was already in ruins. The city walls were damaged, and the thick smell of blood filled the air.
Broken halberds and halberds were scattered all over the ground, which was enough to show the ferocity of the battle.
All the generals were guarding the key points of Yanmen Pass. Everyone looked extremely tired and had not slept for days.
They were afraid that the Turks would attack while they closed their eyes, and a mistake in command would lead to the fall of Yanmen Pass.
"His Majesty has ordered the generals to go to the meeting hall to discuss the war.”
A series of scattered footsteps sounded, and the old minister, Yu Shiji, delivered the relevant news with fatigue.
"It is indeed time to discuss the war.”
The burly general sighed.
The rest of the commanders, Yuwen Cheng, Li Yuan, and the others looked at each other.
They could all sense that a terrifying storm was about to erupt, and the Turks were very likely to choose a fierce attack in the next few days to take down Yanmen Pass.
In other words, the life and death of Yanmen Pass had arrived.
Several generals walked together into the meeting hall of Yanmen Pass.
Yang Guang stood with his hands behind his back.
This was the second time they were discussing the war. The first time they had discussed it, they had agreed to have the army of one hundred and fifty thousand gather together, but if they couldn't break out of the Turkic encirclement, they would drop the matter.
"Generals, what do you think we should do now?”
Yang Guang turned around. His face was filled with vicissitudes of life, as if he had aged a lot in the past few days.
"I believe that we should break out of the encirclement and try our best to protect Your Majesty from leaving Yanmen Pass.”
Yuwen Cheng, the right general of the valiant fruit guard, said in a deep voice.
This suggestion was like a life-and-death struggle in a desperate situation.
"If only the eldest grandson of the emperor, Yang Ji, was here, how good would that be?”
Yang Guang sighed in his heart.
