(Girls' Literature)

Pei Si's palms were full of sweat, and he slid on the handle of the knife without leaving his hand, the rebels' attack was not as weak as he imagined, and the momentum of the impact was higher and higher, but fortunately, the Shenwu Army was victorious in the stable formation of the army, even in the face of waves of fierce impact, it still remained firmly above the pass.

Seeing that the two sides were in a stalemate, Pei Si was thinking about how to break the deadlock, and there were two ways in front of him at this time, one was to send more men and horses to spread out the battle line and win by brute force. The second is to try to attack the rebels' flanks and hasten their collapse. However, these two paths are not perfect, although the former is simple in tactics and not easy to make mistakes, the only unpredictable factor is how many men and horses the rebels have pressed up today, if the other side is far more than their own, and if they continue to consume for a long time, most of the defeat is the Shenwu army. The problem with the latter was that it was a pass, and there was not enough open terrain for him to navigate. From the south wall to the north wall of the pass, there are only more than three miles in total, and how can you escape the surveillance of the rebels with every move?

The fierce battle intensified, the war drums beat louder and louder, and several captains under his command stepped forward to ask for battle, and Pei Si was in a dilemma.

"The rebels are arrogant, please allow the men and horses of the last general's department to board the pass for reinforcements!"

"Lang General, the last general is also willing to ......"

The captains' voices for battle made Pei Si feel even more hesitant, and when he looked up, he found that the rebels seemed to have cavalry movements. Fortunately, the place where the flag is located is a half-hillside, and although the pass is high, it is still clear at a glance.

Pei Si Deng understood that this was the rebels' intention to attack their flanks with cavalry, and he could not hesitate any longer.

"The B battalion and the C battalion listen to the order, cover the left and right wings of the A battalion respectively, and they must not tolerate mistakes!"

The lieutenants of the second and third battalions agreed to the promise and happily rushed to the pass with their men and horses.

Sure enough, Pei Si expected that the rebel cavalry was really going to attack the right flank of the Azi battalion on the pass, but the B-shaped battalion was the first to reach the covering position, they hit a hard nail, dropped hundreds of war horses, and had to retreat temporarily. The cavalry has always won with attack power, and it has not been able to break down the B-shaped battalion several times, and it will only increase casualties if it continues to fall in love.

Pei Si saw the changes on the battlefield one by one, and the chief general of the rebel army was still decisive, and he gave the order to retreat decisively after two shocks. At this time, he couldn't help but think, if he was in the position of the rebel commander, would he give the order to withdraw after several unsuccessful attacks?

Suddenly, Pei Si heard the flag envoy beside him scream.

"Look, general, the rebel reinforcements have arrived!"

Pei Si looked at it and saw that the rebels were raising dust behind the formation, and it seemed that a large number of reinforcements had really arrived.

This made his heart pound, he didn't expect the rebels to come out, but Yang Xingben sat in the camp of Changshi Township and stood still, thinking of this, he complained a little, since he took the initiative to attack, why didn't he prepare enough troops and win with one blow?

However, now is not the time to complain, the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and the slightest hesitation can lead to irreparable consequences.

"Order, the T-shaped battalion presses up and widens the front!"

At this moment, Pei Si made up his mind instead.

Since the battle was fought by relying on the pass, the widest front was only about two miles, and more than 10,000 people could easily fill the pass, and only by relying on the excellent cohesion of the Shenwu army, it might not be impossible to fight a battle, so what if the rebels sent reinforcements?

Thinking of this, Pei Si exchanged for the herald soldiers around him.

"Return to the camp in Changshi Township immediately, explain the situation here to General Yang, please send reinforcements, the number is best around 10,000!"

Although the initial military order from Yang Xingben was only to harass him, the current situation was very different from what he expected, 20,000 people blocked this pass was completely rich, and he even had the confidence to repel the seemingly fierce rebels in front of him before dark.

Because the Shenwu Army still has a killer weapon in its hands, the thunderbolt cannon is taken out at a critical moment, and there is a chance that the rebel army will be disheartened.

The herald ordered the soldiers to answer the order, mounted their horses and galloped away.

Although the decision to send reinforcements was hasty, Pei Si was not worried. Because this pass was no more than ten miles away from the camp, the herald ordered the soldiers to gallop on both horses, and it could be reached in a few moments. Moreover, the daily training of the Shenwu Army is the time to gather in one place at this time, and even if reinforcements are dispatched, it will not take much effort.

Returning 10,000 said that even if the reinforcements arrived two hours later, he was still confident that he would persevere.

Pei Si looked around at the reserve troops below the hillside, there were only two battalions left, these two battalions were the last forces that could be deployed at will, and they could not be easily dispatched unless they had to.

At this time, the battle situation on the pass was in a stalemate again, and the offensive momentum of the rebels gradually slowed down, but the intensity was still not low. Moreover, the casualties of the Shenwu Army were not small, and they had far exceeded his estimates.

There are many dead people, Pei Si feels that his heart is dripping blood, the Shenwu Army has always implemented the concept of elite soldiers, so people and horses have always been expensive and not expensive, and if 50,000 people can go out to fight at a time, it is already equivalent to about 100,000 ordinary Tang soldiers.

Moreover, Qin Jin attached great importance to the camp in Changshi Township, with a total of 50,000 elites of the Shenwu Army, and 30,000 were allocated to Yang Xingben at one time, and only 20,000 remained in Xin'an Guancheng.

Fortunately, there are nearly 20,000 Hui soldiers, and although they always cause trouble everywhere, their combat effectiveness is also quite good. Pei Si grinned again, even if the reinforcements sent to him were those Hui people!

Unfortunately, it backfired, and about half an hour later, the herald sent to ask for help returned quickly.

"General Yang strictly ordered General Lang to withdraw his troops, and he must not fight!"

"Damn, Pei won't withdraw!"

What he was waiting for with hope was this kind of military order, and Pei Si finally couldn't help but scold his mother.

The herald soldier was also stunned by the angry Pei Si, and subconsciously asked:

"Lang Jiangdang, do you really not follow the military order?"

You must know that the military discipline of the Shenwu Army is strict, and those who do not follow military orders on the battlefield will definitely be beheaded without any consultation.

After the sudden outburst, Pei Si broke out in a cold sweat again, although he didn't understand why Yang Xingben had such an unreasonable military order, but he also knew that if he didn't follow the military order, he would die.

Suddenly, Pei Si's heart moved, and he asked:

"Can General Yang clearly say when he will withdraw his troops?"

The herald was stunned for a moment, then shook his head.

"General Yang did not specify the specific time of withdrawal!"

Pei Si actually smiled when he heard this, but in addition to being cunning, there was also a bit of determination in his smile. He has always disliked the act of being anticlimactic, and since he is leading the troops to fight alone today, how can he not have a good fight? Looking at the current situation, what does it matter if he fights until dark? Even if there are casualties, he must always show the majesty of the Shenwu army.

Between the two evil consequences of giving up halfway and the casualties of soldiers, he did not hesitate to choose the latter, even if his heart was dripping blood, he gritted his teeth and confessed. How can there be no immortal in a battle? What kind of battle are the dead fighting?

Seeing the right time, Pei Si sent an additional battalion of men to go immediately to resist the continuous onslaught of the rebels. At this time, he realized the terrible thing about the rebel army in front of him, although the momentum of the rebel attack gradually slowed down, but the rhythm of the attack was orderly, and it was not disrupted because of the frustration of the attack.

Pei Si finally discovered that it was no fluke that An Lushan's rebels could fight from Fanyang to Luoyang in a month. At the same time, he was also secretly afraid in his heart, if it weren't for this pass, but fighting in the open wilderness, it was really hard to say how long his more than 10,000 people could hold out.

He looked up at the sky, and there were at least two hours left before dark, that is, an hour and a half to wrestle with the rebels.

In fact, Pei Si still had a fluke in his heart, and he only watched the rebels lose their patience to attack and chose to retreat in the remaining hour and a half. At that time, won't he be able to justifiably win the victory? Even if Yang Xing would have been dissatisfied with his behavior of exploiting loopholes, for the sake of winning the battle, he would have to save some face.

It's just that Pei Si didn't know that the commander of the opposite pass was Yin Ziqi, the commander of the rebels' westward expedition.

Yin Ziqi is not a person who gives up halfway, and he has learned the lesson of last night, and at the beginning of the war, he had the idea of inflicting heavy losses on Tang Bing, Tang Bing was also too arrogant, thinking that their Youyan elites were all wooden clay sculptures?

However, at the moment, he was still a little annoyed, and the place where the two armies met today was coincidentally above a pass. The mountains on both sides blocked the route, and it was difficult to detour back to the flank of the Tang soldiers, so the only means was to fight for the pass.

Once the means cannot be used flexibly on the battlefield, then only the showdown between the real forces remains.

Yin Ziqi was very surprised by the combat strength of the Shenwu Army, if it was a fluke that the Shenwu Army retreated last night, then in today's battle of Pass, the two armies could not stalemate, it was definitely not a fluke. It's they who definitely have the strength!

When it comes to fighting for strength, Yin Ziqi has never conceded defeat, even if he is brave and fierce Khitans, not to mention these Tang soldiers who rushed to the army? Now in addition to fighting for strength, it is to fight for patience, and he believes that the endurance of Tang soldiers is being worn out little by little, at most, before the dark sky, he will definitely not be able to withstand it!

This is not Yin Ziqi's blind self-confidence, but his 30,000 troops took turns to launch a strong attack on the pass, in other words, this is a wheel war.

Since it is difficult for all 30,000 people to spread out on the pass, it is also feasible to transform it into strength in another way. On the other hand, the Tang soldiers on the pass have been fighting fiercely for most of the day, and they are sleepy and tired, how long can they hold on?

However, even so, Yin Ziqi couldn't help but sigh, if the Tang soldiers who guarded Luoyang were all like Yakou, it was still unknown whether Cui Qianyou could capture Luoyang.

It's just that there are no assumptions about the past, and God is fortunate to guard Luoyang with some straw bales. And even if the Tang soldiers on the pass are not straw bales?
