    Yang Guang and his party finally entered the Great Wall before the Turkic encirclement closed.

    Although Shibi Khan personally led an army to chase and intercept Yang Guang, Yang Guang's escape was too fast.  After escaping for their lives, Yang Guang and his party lost almost all their supplies, and even Yang Guang himself abandoned his beloved Liuhe City.

    The Sui army was almost non-stop, rushing as hard as they could. Even the horses alone did not know how many were killed.  As for the number of palace maids, chamberlains, and even officials and family members who were left behind along the way, there was no telling how many there were.

    But Yang Guang¡¯s good luck ended here.

    As soon as Yang Guang and his party entered Heng'an Town, the Turkic army followed them.  Yang Guang, who was frightened three times a day, hurriedly left Lu Yu, the governor of Yanmen County, to guard Heng'an Town to stop the pursuing troops, and then continued southward.

    Along the way, Yang Guang successively visited Bailangsai (now northeast of Shanyin County, Shuozhou City, Shanxi Province), Sanggan Town (now south of Shanyin County, Shanxi Province), and Loufangguan (now northeast of Yangfangkou, Ningwu County, Shanxi Province).  ) and other places to station troops, just to slow down the Turks' advance.

    But it didn¡¯t go as Yang Guang wished.

    Although Lu Yu is a capable general, he does not have many troops at hand.

    "Moreover, Shibi Khan had long been determined to attack Heng'an Town, so he prepared a large number of internal agents in Heng'an Town.  When the Turks launched a large-scale attack, the internal forces in the city created chaos in the city and simultaneously attacked the Sui troops defending the city.

    Amid internal and external troubles, the city gate soon collapsed.  The Turks entered the pass in large numbers, and Lu Yu had no choice but to lead his army to break out.

    The whole army fought and retreated, but the Turks pursued him. When Lu Yu retreated to the southwest of Yunnei County (now Datong City, Shanxi Province), the Turks caught up with him.  Lu Yu died fighting hard and the entire army was wiped out.

    At the beginning, Bi Khan took General Ashina Simo as the vanguard and continued to attack south.  Yang Guang's escape back to Yanmen County was somewhat contrary to Shibi Khan's expectations, and there was no room for them to make any more mistakes.

    Ashina Simo ordered the Turkic soldiers to be replaced by prisoners of the Sui army, and mixed with the surrendered Sui army prisoners, pretending to be a defeated army in Heng'an Town, and rushed towards the White Wolf Fortress.

    The defenders of Bailang fortress were unprepared and thought it was the Sui army falling behind, so they opened the city gate and welcomed the defeated troops into the city.

    After entering the city, these Turks rose up in rebellion, occupied the city gate, and then lowered the White Wolf Fortress.

    The main force of Ashina Simo continued southward and met the Shuozhou Army commanded by Wang Rengong, the general manager of Shuozhou, in the north of Sangqian Town.  Wang Rengong was also a famous general, capable of conquering and fighting, and achieved great success in his campaign against Goguryeo.  However, since Huang Mingyuan's Northern Expedition to the Turks, the military preparations in the northern Xinjiang were depleted and soldiers were lost. Shuozhou, the original important town in the north, now only has more than 15,000 people.

    The two sides met suddenly. The Sui army was not strong enough and Wang Rengong was defeated, so he led his troops back to Mayi County to govern Shanyang County (today's Shuozhou City, Shanxi Province), while Sangqian Town was taken by Ashina Simo.

    At this point, the main force of the Turkic forwards chased Yang Guangluan all the way and penetrated the entire defense line of Daizhou and Shuozhou.

    When Yang Guang and his men retreated to Yanmen County to govern Yanmen City (today's Dai County, Shanxi Province), Ashina Simo also led his army to bypass the Sui army's frontal defense at Xijingguan along the trail and appeared at Xiawu Mountain (also known as Xiajingguan).  It was named Xiahu Mountain, Jiawu Mountain, and Jiamu Mountain, behind the Caoduo Mountain in the northeast of Dai County, Shanxi Province today.

    On June 12, Ashina Simo led his army to surround Yanmen City on the second day after Yang Guang fled into Yanmen City. Yang Guang and the entire Sui Dynasty fell into a heavy siege by the Turks.

    At the same time, the emperor's grandson Yang Ji led the rear army into Guo County (now Guoyang Town, Yuanping City, Shanxi Province).

    Facing the siege of the Turks, the Sui army was terrified.  Yu Wenshu was the leader of the generals at this time and was responsible for commanding the armies.  He ordered the houses to be demolished and used as materials to defend the city. As a result, the Turks had not yet launched an attack, and people's hearts were already in chaos.

    And the most important problem is that a large number of people and animals suddenly poured into the entire Yanmen City, making the already small city extremely narrow and insufficient in various reserve materials.  At this time, there were 150,000 soldiers and civilians in Yanmen City, and the food supply was only enough for 20 days.

    After discovering the Turks outside the Great Wall, Yang Guang was about to lead his army back. He immediately thought of Huang Mingyuan and sent people 500 miles away to Liaodong to recruit Huang Mingyuan to rescue them from the north.  But from Daibei to Liaodong, a round trip of four thousand miles, water from far away cannot quench the thirst of the near.

    Before Yang Guang entered the customs, he only notified Wang Rengong, the general manager of Shuozhou, and Fan Angui, the general manager of Daizhou, to respond, but he did not have time to send reinforcements to Taiyuan.

    At this time, Wang Rengong was defeated and returned to Shanyang, while Fan Angui and Yang Guang were besieged in Yanmen City.  The entire Sui court lost contact with the outside world.

    The Turks came very quickly. When Shibi Khan heard that Ashina Simo had surrounded the Sui Emperor Yang Guang in Yanmen City, he immediately sent tens of thousands of troops to come.  He contacted againThe Luo tribe asked Tongluo Xie to also attack from the northeast of Yanmen. The two sides, one on the left and the other on the right, met at the foot of Yanmen City.

    At this time, the disadvantages of Beidi's weak military preparedness were revealed. The entire General Administration only had more than 10,000 people, and each city only had dozens to hundreds of people. Therefore, there were more than 40 checkpoints and cities in the entire Mayi and Yanmen counties.  All were destroyed by the barbarians.  Only a few important places such as Yanmen, Guoxian, and Shanyang were controlled by the Sui army.

    On June 15, Shibi Khan finally came from the north and led the main force to the city.  More than 100,000 troops surrounded the entire Yanmen City.  Standing at the top of the city and looking out, there are huge crowds of people.

    From the 12th to the 15th, for three whole days, Ashina Simo only had more than 10,000 cavalry in his hands, and his strength was not strong.  During these three days, the Sui army was frightened by the large main force disguised by Ashina Simo and did not dare to break through easily. In the end, it lost the perfect opportunity to break out.

    By the time the main Turkic force arrived and surrounded Yanmen tightly, the Sui army in the city had no chance of breaking out.

    Shibi Khan arrived outside the city and looked at the panicked Sui army on top of the city.  After more than ten years, he finally stepped on the Sui army. This feeling was so comfortable.

    Although Yang Guang was surrounded, there were still tens of thousands of troops in the city.  Shibi Khan was worried about the long night and many dreams, so he ordered the army to attack the city that day.

    The Turkic cavalry did not have enough siege weapons, but they had a wonderful way to siege the city.

    A large group of Turkic cavalry rushed to the city gate, and then threw feather arrows at the top of the city.  Hu Lu was good at riding and shooting. A large number of arrows were shot into the city, and arrows rained down on the entire city.

    Yang Guang originally came to the city with his guards, hoping to boost morale.

    However, although he also led troops to destroy the Chen Kingdom in the south and the Turks in the north, they were all nominal commanders and did not require him to worry too much.  Moreover, Yang Guang has been immersed in drinking and sex in the past few years, and his original heroic spirit has long been taken away by drinking and sex.

    Yang Guang led people close to the city wall, but the bows and arrows under the city were airtight.

    At this time, the Turks' feather arrows shot in front of Yang Guang, which shocked Yang Guang.  If it weren't for the personal guards protecting Yang Guang, Yang Guang would have been shot to death.

    Since then, Yang Guang no longer dared to climb the city.

    Faced with the situation of being trapped in an isolated city, Yang Guang's fragile psychological defense almost collapsed. He could only hold his youngest son Zhao Wang Yang Gao and cry, his eyes were swollen from crying.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
