(Click to be deducted inexplicably, the name of the protagonist will automatically become Yang Xi when the chapter content is uploaded, can the starting point not be so disappointing?) )

When Yang Xi ran to the head of the East Gate with nearly a hundred personal soldiers led by Yang Dong and Yang Zheng, the dawn had already begun to appear in the sky. In the distance, the wolf smoke of jǐng soars into the sky, and several fires with specific meanings are blazing in the distance.

The wolf smoke rising into the sky silently conveyed an urgent message to the people, that is, the military situation was urgent and a major war could occur at any time.

After seeing the wolf smoke of Shijǐng, Yang Xi was both happy and emotional.

Fortunately, he persuaded his father Yang Guozhong and Emperor Li Longji with his unexpectedly firm and arrogant attitude, and asked them to agree to him to lead the army to rescue.

If this drastic and swift approach had not been taken, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

He sighed that the speed of the rebels' attack was so fast, it didn't stop at night, and it arrived not far from Tongguan before dawn, much faster than he expected, he knew that if it weren't for the roadblocks set up by his generals along the way when Ge Shuhan was defeated, it was likely that the rebels would have arrived at Tongguan City, and the offensive and defensive battles had broken out!

He was a little nervous as he hurried up to the city, shouting at the soldiers to take all countermeasures and prepare to meet the rebels.

Although before the crossing, he commanded many exercises or actual combat, but at that time he led not many people, at most only a hundred people, and it was mainly a special operation, the scale and method of the war were completely different from now, he didn't know if he could organize the war when the cold weapons were cold, he also sighed again, if there were those familiar weapons in his hands, such as sniper rifles, grenades, rocket artillery, how good, then don't worry about the rebels attacking the city. If the leader of the rebel army is defeated with these weapons, the rebel army will definitely be defeated without a fight, and the pressure on Tongguan will be much less, or even completely relieved.

But now can only rely on the bow and arrow in the hands of the soldiers, broadswords, spears and other weapons to fight against the enemy, the combat effectiveness of the leading soldiers can not match the rebels at all, and has just suffered a big defeat, morale is low, the only advantage is to defend the dangerous city of Tongguan, the danger of the terrain and the majesty of the Tongguan City will make the rebels who are besieging the city make a big price.

At this time, Yang Xi really believed in fate, he felt that since God let him travel to the Tang Dynasty at this time, he must have entrusted him with some special mission, and he could complete this mission as long as he took advantage of factors such as time and place. He is a standard special forces soldier, who has experienced brutal training, countless real combat opportunities, and even many threats of death, and he has no fear of war.

He can command this battle well, turn the situation around, and hold Tongguan!

In an instant, Yang Xi was full of confidence in his heart, and he was also full of anger when the order was given!

Ge Shuhan himself asked to go to the south gate to personally command, so Yang Xi was not easy to compete with him, and finally chose to sit at the east gate and guard.

The East Gate Guard is Li Chengguang, who is inclined to his father, and Gao Shi, who has an intersection with him and has a good impression of each other, Yang Xi feels that this is a good arrangement made by Ge Shuhan for him. The majesty of his new Tongguan soldier and horse envoy is likely to be further established at the east gate of Tongguan, and his ability will also be "vividly displayed" at the east gate of Tongguan.

The East Gate is the most prominent place in Tongguan City, and if nothing else, the East Gate will be the target of the rebels' first attack. However, the terrain outside the East Gate is dangerous, which is not suitable for a large number of soldiers and horses to carry out an offensive, even if the rebels come with hundreds of thousands of horses, only a few thousand people can launch an offensive outside the East Gate. The rebels can invest about the same number of troops in a frontal siege as the defenders on the city, and at most the rebels take turns to attack the city, coming in waves!

Of course, this is also the most terrifying, there are not many defenders in Tongguan City, and it is impossible to adopt the same wheel tactics as the rebels, unless the follow-up delays arrive. If the follow-up reinforcements cannot arrive within a certain period of time, and the rebels continue to attack the city regardless of casualties, round after round, the morale of the soldiers defending the city will be high, and the physical strength will not be able to support it, and the final result will be defeat and the city will be broken.

Thinking of this, Yang Xi scolded his father for his incompetence again. If 200,000 troops were to defend Tongguan City, even if the rebels gathered millions of soldiers and horses to attack the city, they would not be able to help Tongguan.

The 200,000 troops can take turns to resist the siege of the rebels in the direction of the city gates and city heads, and can occupy the dangerous terrain outside Tongguan City to further curb the attacks of the rebels.

Before Geshuhan's defeat, although the rebels attacked Tongguan City under the personal command of An Qingxu, the son of An Lushan, the rebels did not attack Tongguan City where Yang Xi is now standing at that time, but they were blocked when they attacked Hantong Pass, and there was no way to advance further. At that time, there were more than 15,000 defenders in Hantong Pass, which was commanded by Pang Zhong. Pang Zhong commanded this 15,000 men and horses, and stubbornly resisted the countless sieges of the rebels, An Qingxu had no choice but to retreat dozens of miles, no longer take the offensive, just confront, ready to take other strategies.

A detour attack, bypassing Tongguan City from the north and south and attacking Chang'an, was the most likely way to take, but An Qingxu finally reluctantly gave up after trying. In the summer, the water of the Yellow River and the Wei River was very urgent, and it was impossible to erect pontoon bridges under the condition of raging waves, and the pontoon bridges could not be erected, and the army could certainly not reach the Yellow River and the Wei River, and the idea of attacking from the north side by detour was impossible to realize.

And the attack from several directions in the south did not work, the road in that direction was very difficult to walk, tens of thousands of horses wanted to march quickly is a dream in vain, thousands of men and horses can only march with difficulty, according to the dangerous terrain of the Tang army soldiers, stubbornly stopped several rebel assault teams in front of Xiongguan. If you want to take Chang'an, at least under the current circumstances, it can only be achieved after capturing Tongguan, and An Qingxu can only adopt the strategy of luring the enemy with a weak division, but I didn't expect the official army to really hit the plan!

In the battle of Lingbao, An Qingxu won a complete victory, and wiped out the 200,000 horses and horses who fought in Tongguan.

Although Yang Xi is not fully aware of An Qingxu's current arrangements, he probably knows these situations from the analysis of the information he can collect now. It is also clear that An Qingxu's attack on Tongguan this time is determined to succeed. With the strength of more than 10,000 soldiers in his hands now, he doesn't know if he can hold Tongguan and guard the gate of Chang'an.

If you have more troops in hand, then investing more troops in Hantong Pass will definitely be able to block the attack speed of the rebels and drag the rebels to death, even if the Hantong Pass City is lost in the end, it will have such an effect.

In terms of danger, today's Tongguan City is worse than Hantong Guancheng, which is also the main reason why Ge Shuhan abandoned Hantong Guancheng and only defended the current Tongguan City after fleeing back from defeat.

In the case of insufficient troops and overstretched, he could only put all his troops in the most dangerous place to defend, and if it were not for the support of the 3,000 new forces led by Yang Xi, it would be impossible to divide the troops to defend the Hantong Pass. Hantong Pass City can now send Pang Zhong to lead 800 men and horses, and then integrate the other retreating men and horses, at most only 2,000 people, with 2,000 people to completely stop the rebels in front of Hantong Pass, it is a bit unrealistic, unless a miracle appears. The role of these two thousand men and horses is almost the role of "stroke" in the "loss of pawns to protect the car", the purpose is to confuse the rebels, continue the speed of the rebels' attacks, and revive the morale of our army until the arrival of follow-up reinforcements. Yang Xi believed that it was impossible for the imperial court not to send follow-up reinforcements, and with his father, who was known as Jiān Xiang, the imperial court would definitely send follow-up reinforcements as soon as possible.

Yang Xi had already twice transmitted the signal to Chang'an to return to safety, and at the same time, through the post station express horse, Yang Guozhong was told about the situation in Tongguan and the urgent need for follow-up reinforcements. If the current Yang Guozhong is still hesitating and acting in a hurry, then the Yang family deserves to be destroyed.

When Yang Xi ran up to Chengguan, the sergeants at the head of Tongguan were already busy preparing under the command of Li Chengguang and Gao Shi.

It can be said that Tongguan City has always been valued as an important place to defend the capital, and the preparations made after the rebels rose up were also carried out for the purpose of holding on for a long time, and all kinds of ordnance materials were very abundant, according to Ge Shuhan's little account just now, if one person had 20 arrows a day, the arrows in Tongguan City were enough for 200,000 horses to use for a month, that is, there were more than 10 million arrows.

In addition, Tongguan City is also equipped with a large bed crossbow, which is one of the most powerful and farthest weapons in the cold weapon era.

Don't worry about the problem of food, 200,000 people and horses can be enough to supply, not to mention more than 10,000 people now.

There is no shortage of ordnance materials, which makes Yang Xi's heart a little less worried, if the follow-up reinforcements can arrive quickly, then it is not a problem to hold Tongguan City.

Although there were a lot of worries in his heart, the time spent was very short, and when Yang Xi walked up to the city and walked in front of Li Chengguang and Gao Shi, who were busy commanding the sergeants, he had calmed down.

"The last general has seen Yang Bing and Ma Envoy!"

Seeing Yang Xi striding over, Li Chengguang and Gao Shi were stunned for a moment, and hurriedly greeted them!

Yang Xi returned the salute to them slightly, and did not say anything, but walked to the city wall.

After walking to the city wall, Yang Xi saw that in the southeast of the city, a fire was ignited, illuminating the night sky that had just turned white.

Knowing that it must be the action of Ge Shuhan ordering the burning of oil and burning the corpses of the soldiers in the forbidden ditch, Yang Xi breathed a long sigh of relief again, and then turned to face Li Chengguang and Gao Shi, who were drumming in his heart, and said very seriously: "General Li, General Gao, the rebels are about to arrive, and they will soon attack the city, I hope that when the rebels attack the city, the two of you can command the soldiers to block it with all your might, and never let the rebels climb the head of Tongguan City, and when it is critical, Ben will go to the city with you to kill the enemy!" The last general has sworn to His Majesty in person: The city is there, the people are there, the city is broken, and the people are dead!"
