"It's easier said than done to break out of the encirclement. What I'm afraid of is that if we don't break out, we'll be completely wiped out in the process, and His Majesty will be captured alive.”
Lai Hu 'er shook his head and sighed.
Yuwen Cheng's suggestion was a life and death struggle. Although he had the determination, he couldn't do it.
After all, there were three hundred and fifty thousand Turkic soldiers surrounding Yanmen Pass, and they had less than one hundred thousand soldiers. It would be impossible for them to break out with the Emperor under such circumstances.
"General Lai is right. If we can break out of the encirclement, the first discussion will not end in failure.”
Li Yuan said.
Li Yuantong came to protect his son, so he was considered to be relatively clear-headed.
They were well aware of how grim the current situation was.
Judging from the actions of the Turks, they would attack Yanmen Pass with all their might today or tomorrow.
This all-out attack was coming from all directions, and the Yanmen Pass had no ability to resist at all.
Breaking out of the encirclement was an illusion. Defending to the death was the last resort.
However, if that was the case, didn't that mean that His Majesty had nowhere to go?
"If we can't break out of the encirclement, we can let His Majesty disguise himself and quietly leave Yanmen Pass.”
Yu Shiji made a suggestion.
As long as His Majesty took off his dragon robe, he wouldn't be so conspicuous. If he changed into the clothes of the Turks, he would have a chance to sneak out of Yanmen Pass.
"No, the Turks have eyes everywhere. A single Turkic soldier walking out of Yanmen Pass will attract their attention.”
The other civil official, Su Wei, shook his head and rejected this suggestion.
Yu Shiji sighed. This wouldn't do, and that wouldn't do either. Could it be that he was really helpless and allowed the Turks to launch a full-scale attack?
At this moment, no one spoke. Everyone's expressions were extremely ugly.
This was because they could not think of any way to change the current situation. Whether it was a strategy or a desperate attempt to break out of the encirclement, they could not break through the human wall of 350,000 Turks outside Yanmen Pass.
As for the reinforcements from the other regions of Great Sui, Yang Guang would not place his hopes on them. The forces of the various regions were tight and it was difficult to transfer them. If they were forcibly transferred, Shibi Khagan would very likely turn to attack the entire Great Sui.
Once they broke through several important checkpoints and battlefields, they could even threaten the rule of Great Sui. In the end, not only did they not change the situation, but they also made the situation even more serious.
Even if there were no reinforcements, wouldn't the troops at Yanmen Pass be enough?
Once all the troops were gathered, it was not impossible to break through. However, if the Sui army in the east and west of Yanmen Pass could successfully break through, then Yang Guang's first breakthrough would be successful, and he would not be frowning until now.
There was no other way. The atmosphere of despair lingered around them. Whether it was the brave Yuwen Cheng or the brave and resourceful ones who came to protect their son.
At this moment, they had no other choice. It seemed that they had reached the most dangerous moment.
"If only Ji 'er was here.”
The more it was like this, the more Yang Guang could think of the rebellious eldest grandson.
His muttering was heard by Lai Hu 'er, and his eyes lit up.
"That's right, there's also His Highness the King of Qin. How could I forget? If His Highness the King of Qin was here, how could these Turks be so arrogant?”
The flame of hope burned again.
Li Yuan, Yuwen Huaji, and the others all raised their heads at Lai Hu 'er's words.
Yes, Great Sui still had the most terrifying blade, the King of Qin!
The Turks who were now so rampant outside had been utterly defeated by the King of Qin. Lai Hu 'er remembered that there had been a battle where the Turks had invaded Bingzhou and Youzhou, and the King of Qin had been ordered to fight against the Turks.
In that battle, the King of Qin had led his elite cavalry to assault the Turks many times, and in the end, he had used his army to suppress them. Even though he had fewer soldiers, he had still been able to break through any of the Turkic attacks.
The King of Qin directly pushed the Turks from the borders of Bingzhou and Youzhou back to the grasslands. Along the way, the Turks cried for their parents and suffered heavy losses.
From that moment on, the Turks were so intimidated that they did not dare to easily break through the borders of Great Sui.
Now that the Turks dared to do this, they probably thought of the conflict between His Majesty and the King of Qin and speculated that the King of Qin would not send troops.
" Your Highness."
Li Yuan muttered to himself as his eyes turned red.
This was because a figure holding a blood-red dragon halberd appeared in his mind.
Seeing hope reignite, Yang Guang was greatly gratified. It seemed that the ability of his eldest grandson was deeply rooted in the hearts of many generals.
However, would the arrogant and unruly eldest grandson, who had quarreled with him for many years and had an extremely stubborn personality, come?
……
The thirty thousand soldiers on the outskirts of Yanmen Pass were unable to break through the Turkic cavalry.
At this moment, the brownish-yellow ground had been stained with thick blood, causing the color of the soil to be as thick as blood. It was red and black.
The ground was littered with countless corpses. These were the corpses of the 30,000 Royal Guards.
The situation here was extremely tragic. The 30,000 Royal Guards had tried to break into Yanmen Pass many times to join up with the Yanmen Pass army.
But thirty thousand soldiers, with uneven combat power, were no match for the Turkic cavalry.
In the past five days, they had launched five attacks, but all of them ended in failure. The Turkic defense line was as solid as a steel wall.
The Turks weren't just powerful, they were also numerous. Even if the royal army increased to one hundred thousand, it would still give the impression that they couldn't charge in.
"It's already the fifth day. I have a feeling that the Turks will launch their final assault and capture His Majesty alive.”
On the ground, Li Shi Min squatted on the ground and hugged his head.
His eyes were bloodshot. He had witnessed the soldiers being beheaded by Zhanmadao or smashed into pieces by the spiked club.
Those scenes kept playing out in his mind. No matter how high the morale of the royal army was, no matter how much Li Shiming encouraged them, it was useless in front of the Turks.
"Second brother, we did our best."
Li Xiu Ning, who looked handsome and had a face full of mud, sat beside her brother Li Shi Min and comforted him.
Although she was consoling him, Li Xiu Ning's eyes were lifeless and filled with the color of death. She was also in despair.
The siblings were both members of the royal army. Among the 30,000 royal army, there were more than 1,000 Li family private soldiers. Their combat strength was quite good.
However, what was the concept of a thousand people against tens of thousands?
That was equivalent to a small boat in the sea. In the end, it would not be of much use. On the contrary, there was a possibility that they would be completely wiped out by the strong winds and waves.
"Is there really no other way but to see His Majesty captured alive and Yanmen Pass broken?”
Li Shi Min, who was still a teenager, muttered to himself with a trembling voice. What was despair?
This feeling of powerlessness was probably despair.
