The majestic Tongguan still stands firmly between the mountains and mountains, blocking the waves of attacks of the rebels under the pass. It's been the fourth day, and the rebels are still launching endless attacks, and most of the soldiers in the pass have been killed and wounded, and their combat effectiveness has been sharply reduced. Every second that passed, Gao Xianzhi's mood would become tense. Gao Xianzhi stood on the city wall with his hands in his hands, looking east from afar.

"General, in a hurry?" Feng Changqing stood aside, and Gao Xianzhi's expression came into his eyes. "General, don't worry, Brother Li Xian is extremely intelligent, and his martial arts are outstanding, and he will definitely not be in any big trouble."

"I'm not worried about this rabbit. An Lushan died, he couldn't die. Gao Xianzhi smiled slightly, "What I'm worried about is the current battle situation. The enemy troops were delayed, and reinforcements from the rear of our army were delayed. If there is no achievement on Li Mi's side. Sooner or later, this Tongguan will be lost. Saying this, Gao Xianzhi's eyebrows twisted into a pimple.

Feng Changqing didn't say anything, because he noticed something unusual: "General, why didn't the rebels launch a siege offensive today." It started a long time ago. ”

Gao Xianzhi's brows tightened, "Let people explore, it's indeed a bit abnormal." After telling the defenders to keep a strict guard, he went down the city wall. The gate of Guannei was wide open, and more than a dozen cavalry scouts rode out and went far away.

While the scouts were being sent out, an emergency military meeting was taking place in the rebel camp. Cui Qianyou sat in the military tent, his frustration overflowing. At this time, he no longer had the strength to get angry, and his anger was crowded in his heart, and he was silent for a long time.

"General, retire. The grain and grass were burned, and the morale of the army was already unstable. If you want to stay here, you may be in trouble. The marching Sima who was standing in the corner of the camp broke the silence, raised his eyelids and did not dare to look directly at Cui Qianyou, and said cautiously.

"Damn! How many years of food have been spent by labor and capital here, and how many soldiers and soldiers have died under this Tongguan city. Let labor and management retire from the army!? Labor and management are unwilling! Cui Qianyou's anger was filled with raging karmic fire, his eyes were red, and he glared fiercely at the marching Sima who spoke.

The marching Sima was glared at by Cui Qianyou's blood-red eyes, and he shivered, lowered his head and didn't make a sound.

The atmosphere in the camp tent was extremely depressed, and the generals standing on the left and right of the camp tent saw the bloody head of the dog who was reprimanded by the marching Sima, and they all looked at their noses and noses and became silent. Cui Qianyou looked around the big tent anxiously, and when he saw that the soldiers were all bowing their heads and silent, he was even more annoyed in his heart, "Damn, they are all good at burning, killing and looting, why are they all dumb when the business is coming." It's all wine bags and rice bags. Perhaps he was tired of scolding, Cui Qianyou stopped talking, panting to himself, and the big tent fell silent again.

"General, maybe we have another chance." A voice sounded cautiously, breaking the silence once more.

Cui Qianyou glanced up and found that it was Yang Chaozong, the former deputy general of the army, who spoke. At this time, the red tide in Cui Qianyou's eyes had faded, and was replaced by exhaustion and depression in his eyes, "Chaozong, let's talk about it." Cui Qianyou was already desperate, if he still had considerable confidence to capture Tongguan before the Hongnong incident happened. At this time, he had already realized that capturing the Tongguan in front of him was an impossible goal, or even if he succeeded, he would need to pay a huge price. Therefore, he did not have any great hope for Yang Chaozong's suggestion, but just listened to it.

Yang Chaozong's heart was also extremely worried at this time, facing the boss under the anger, once he accidentally said the wrong thing, it was a worry for his life. "General, the Tongguan guard Gao Xianzhi just can't hold out, and we will definitely not be able to defeat Tongguan. To add insult to injury, a group of people came out of nowhere and burned down Hongnong City. At this point, we have reached the point where we can't withdraw. Yang Chaozong was afraid that he would say the wrong thing, so he said slowly, "We must retreat, but even if we retreat, we can bite off a piece of meat in Tongguan." If it goes well, there is also a chance to take Tongguan. ”

Yang Chaozong's words came to this, and Cui Qianyou became a little interested. He nodded slightly at Yang Chaozong, "You can tell me more carefully." ”

With Cui Qianyou's encouragement, Yang Chaozong instantly came to his senses, and he didn't speak slowly and logically. He strode over to the military map hanging in the southwest corner of the tent and waved his hand to signal the crowd to come around.

He pointed to the map and said, "General, colleagues, please take a look." This is Tongguan, this is my barracks tent. There is a valley five miles east of our barracks tent, and the terrain is quite precipitous. This is where our army must pass through when it retreats. If our army can attract the defenders of the pass to chase and kill when they retreat. Our army still has the strength to fight. Yang Chaozong finished speaking in one breath and let out a sigh of relief.

After listening to Yang Chaozong's words, Cui Qianyou's eyes lit up. He clenched his fist with one hand and hammered Yang Chaozong's shoulder hard, his face full of excitement, "Come on, come on, let's plan carefully." Labor and management have to bite the pass when they are dying. ”

The scout rangers who had dispersed from Tongguan had returned to the city, bringing back a piece of news that Zero High Xianzhi and Feng Changqing were excited about. The scouts found out that a mysterious black-armored soldier attacked Hongnong City at night, burning the grain and grass in the city and most of the city. At this time, the rebels stationed at Guanxia were already panicked and had no intention of fighting.

Gao Xianzhi and Feng Changqing were overjoyed after listening to the scout's recital. After the scout retreated, Feng Changqing couldn't hold back his restless mood, and said to Gao Xianzhi, "General, at this time, the enemy army will definitely not dare to fight, and our army can be defeated in one battle." "Feng Changqing is too eager to defeat the rebels under Guanxia, and defeating the rebels means proving once again that he is not a cowardly general. At the same time, this is an opportunity for him to atone for his sins. At this time, Feng Changqing tried his best to encourage Gao Xianzhi to take the initiative.

Gao Xianzhi has been in the military for a long time, so he naturally knows the psychological change process of a prestigious general who is defeated at first glance. He glanced at Feng Changqing with an indifferent expression, and said, "Feng Er, no one knows your military talent better than me, your old commander." You are an excellent general and have proven yourself in the Western Regions to stand alone. But there seems to be something wrong with your mood right now. Let's wait for you to calm down before we discuss. ”

Hearing this, Feng Changqing struck a fierce spirit, and a dense layer of fine sweat instantly oozed from his back. Gao Xianzhi's words instantly poured a chill on himself. Calmness is especially important in order to be the way, and he knows this better than anyone. He was too impulsive just now, carried away by the desire to win. If he rashly led the troops out of the customs to fight at that time, I am afraid that he would not know how he died. Feng Changqing wiped the fine sweat on his forehead, and clasped his fists towards Gao Xianzhi, without speaking.

Gao Xianzhi calmed down after seeing Feng Changqing's efforts for only a moment, and nodded with satisfaction. He still recognizes the ability of his old subordinate, "Actually, you can also fight." It's just that we have to be in a good sense of proportion, and we don't fall into the enemy's trap. Let's talk about it. ”
