(The third update, ask for support!)

Yang Xi's order was quickly conveyed at the east gate, and most of the sergeants who received the order retreated to a shady place under the city to rest and avoid the sun, leaving only a few sergeants to patrol the city, and so on.

This time, Yang Xi's order was still deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and soon other cities implemented his order, and most of the sergeants were arranged to rest in the cold, leaving only a few sergeants to guard and patrol.

Yang Xi continued to stand on the city gate tower and remained motionless, but he also changed places and stood in a cool place!

Although the quality of this body is good, and his skills are not bad, it is far from being compared with the body of a scout in the later life, and under the scorching sun in the later life, he will be fine even if he stands all day, but the current body is definitely not good. If you stand in the sun and expose your body to the sun, it will be a tragedy, not only will it not have an exemplary effect, it will make the sergeants laugh, it will cause big trouble, and the little prestige that has just been established will also disappear. Of course, this is also after the repeated requests of Yang Zheng and Yang Dong around him, he agreed!

Seeing that Yang Xi had obeyed their advice and stood in the shade, Yang Zheng asked in a low voice: "Fourth Prince, it seems that the rebels really suspect that we have set up ambushes along the way, and they dare not advance any further!" Fourth son, you are really amazing, you stopped the rebels from advancing with an ambush of a few hundred men and horses!"

"That's unlikely!" Yang Xi shook his head resolutely, and replied to Yang Zheng's explanation without looking back, "It is impossible for the rebels to stop advancing here, unless they suffer another bigger blow and find that our army has more ambush troops to stop advancing!"

"Report to General Li, the rebels continue to advance, but at a slower pace than just now!"

At a new ambush point, after an ambush with the follow-up men, Li Fu quickly received information from the spies.

Li Fude, who was still immersed in the joy of victory in the first battle, immediately sank his heart after listening to the report of the spies.

He thought that the victory in the first battle would make the rebels have some scruples, and he would send someone to find out the situation before advancing, so that he could delay the rebels for at least half a day, but he didn't expect that after just over an hour, the rebels continued to pull out, which was too unexpected for him, and he was very shocked, and most of the joy after winning the first battle had disappeared.

He knew that perhaps the rebels had already seen through Yang Xi's plan, and it would be very difficult to launch a surprise attack on the rebels.

He was also a little lucky, fortunately, he had already ordered his deputy to make some other preparations, and this ambush was definitely something that the rebels had never thought of, and he might succeed in another attack!

This is a relatively wide canyon, the narrowest part is about fifty paces wide, the mountains on both sides are not too steep, but there are many trees, suitable for two or three thousand men and horses to ambush, his previous troops and follow-up support men and horses after the meeting, selected more than a thousand people to hide in this place.

It's just that there is also a disadvantage here, that is, it is not very suitable for cavalry impact.

There are many trees, and it is too difficult to rush down the hillside on horseback.

However, the second ambush was finally chosen here, ignoring the disadvantage of charging on horseback, and only hoping that the blows of arrows and other attacks would make the rebels cowardly and stop advancing.

Before the start of the war, Li Fu was still suffering from gains and losses, and was also worried about his future and fate, but after the battle just now, the passion and power in his heart were surging violently, and these worries seemed to be gone, and all he was thinking about at this time was how to find a way to deal the biggest blow to the rebels and achieve a greater victory. He even thought that even if his men and horses were lost, it would not matter.

Even if his troops suffered heavy losses, as long as they inflicted very heavy casualties on the rebels and made it difficult for them to advance, he would still not be punished, and he would be rewarded!

Because of this kind of thinking, the current Li Fu can be said to have put aside all scruples, and is bent on how to ambush to obtain more victories.

Most of the Tang army led by Li Fu was ambushed on the shady side, and only a small number of men and horses lurked on the side that was exposed to the sun, so that they could avoid the sun, the sergeants suffered less, and the chance of the latent sergeants being discovered by the rebels was reduced!

Not long after Li Fu and other generals led the sergeants to set up an ambush point on the side of the canyon, a spy came to report that the rebel vanguard had marched into the mouth of the valley and was about to enter the ambush circle of our army. After hearing the spies' report, Li Fu calmly ordered to let the rebels' outpost cross the canyon, and then attack after the follow-up brigade entered the valley.

Immediately, Liford's order spread quietly, and the sergeant, who had just experienced the victory of the ambush, was filled with a sense of joy, and no one showed any signs of timidity. But everyone had already taken their bows, wound their arrows, and aimed at the approaching rebel cavalry in the gorge, and at the first order, they shot their arrows.

Soon the rebel outposts were walking near the site of their ambush and passing under their noses, but Liford did not give the order to attack, and some of them could not hold their breath, their faces full of anxiety, and if it had not been for the dissuasion of their companions, their arrows would have been fired.

The men and horses of the outpost of the rebels marched in three horses side by side, about 300 horses, and behind them were a large group of men and horses marching on five horses, which was dozens of paces away from the outpost.

From this arrangement, anyone can see that the more than 300 horsemen in front are just for luring the enemy, full of cannon fodder, and some people are glad that they did not attack this outpost, otherwise they can only destroy more than 300 horsemen at most, and it will alarm the follow-up horses, and even be counterattacked by them. Li Fu was also secretly glad that it was not that he had seen through the arrangements of the rebels, but that his appetite had become a little bigger!

The rebel cavalry that followed rolled in, and after about four or five hundred more horsemen had passed, Li Fude, who could no longer hold back, shouted and ordered an attack. As he gave the order to attack, arrows rained down on the rebel column.

With the sound of people neighing and countless screams, many rebel sergeants fell from their horses, not dead but also seriously injured, horses were also frightened, many injured or uninjured horses broke away from the control of their masters, ran around, and some of the lucky ones who were not killed by the arrows were also unfortunately trampled to death by the horses' hooves!

Arrows continued to fall down the hill, and more and more rebel sergeants were shot off their horses!

After a few rounds of arrows fell, the rebels panicked, but the rebels who followed immediately rushed over, and the rebels who had crossed the canyon in front turned their horses' heads and prepared to counterattack under the command of the generals, rolling down many bales of hay from the hills on both sides. Fifty or sixty bundles of hay rolled down in a row soon blocked the entire road, and then dozens of rockets shot down from the hill and set the hay on fire!

The raging fire immediately burned, the wind in the canyon was still quite strong, and the fire immediately closed the entire road, and the Tang soldiers on the mountain roasted by the rolling heat wave felt hot!

The flame-scorched rebels shouted even louder, and many of them were covered in fire and ran there desperately!

The rebel sergeants who had already crossed the canyon turned back were in a mess, not knowing how to deal with the situation in front of them!

And at this time, in the distance, the direction of Tongguan raised a rolling sand field, and countless horses' hooves shook the earth, as if thousands of troops rushed to this side! The Li Fu department lurking on the top of the mountain also appeared, and while continuing to shoot arrows, he also shouted loudly, ready to rush and kill!
