Chapter Seventy-Six: The Scenery Here Is Still Beautiful

The rebels must not be given any chance, especially at such a critical time, no matter what, all the rebels who attacked the city must be wiped out, this is Yang Xi's very firm idea.

The quality of these sergeants under his command is really not ordinarily poor, this is completely intolerable to him, he swears, as long as the war is stable, he must take care of military affairs, let them know what is called a mountain of military orders!

The situation is critical, there are lifeless rebels everywhere in the city, and the direction of the south gate is suddenly tight, whether it is Wang Sili or Tian Liangqiu, Pang Zhong or Li Fude, they are all trying to command the sergeants to kill the rebel sergeants who rushed to the city.

can only play by himself, Yang Xi pulled out his war knife regardless of urgency, and roared angrily: "Brothers, follow Ben Shuai, kill!" The rebels must not be allowed to take over the city! If there is cowardice, there is no forgiveness!"

As he spoke, he swung his sword at a sergeant who had thrown down his weapon and was desperately retreating, trying to turn and run away.

With a scream, the sergeant's head was actually cut off by the furious Yang Xi, and the skyrocketing blood column gushed out from the neck of the headless corpse, splashing Yang Xi and the sergeant beside him.

But Yang Xi didn't care about these at all, and ordered the guards and three hundred other sergeants around him to rush over with him.

It was just a split second that shocked many people.

Yang Xi's madness just now startled the generals of the guards, and the sergeants were also shocked, and just as Yang Xi cut off the head of the unlucky sergeant, Yang Dong roared, and took the lead in pulling out his sword, and ordered his men to charge after him.

Yang Xi and Yang Dong roared one after another, and there were even some guards who hesitated there, not knowing what to do.

It wasn't until Yang Dong yelled again that he raised his knife in a panic and rushed over with a shout.

The other sergeants also brandished their swords and screamed at the growing number of rebels rushing to the city.

Of course, Yang Xi didn't fall behind, and rushed forward, wanting to kill a few people in person, but he didn't have a chance to meet the enemy, and more than thirty of the best guards surrounded him and protected him. But his actions as the first soldiers still boosted morale to a certain extent, and the 300 soldiers on standby and his more than 200 personal guards rushed over to fill the gap just now.

The sound of "jingle bell" blades clashing continued to come, and the reserve team of more than 500 people led by Yang Xi finally came in handy, filling the short gap between Wang Sili and Tian Liangqiu's department, and soon pressed the rebels who rushed to the city to the city wall and slaughtered them in a ball.

With the clanging of weapons and the sound of the sergeants shouting for their might, the city was engulfed in a scuffle.

Inspired by Yang Xi's fierce threats and the ferocity of other soldiers, most of the timid sergeants dispelled the idea of escaping, picked up their weapons again, and joined the formation. The marshals themselves went into battle and killed a deserter, who would dare to offend it again!

The number of rebels who can rush to the head of the city is still at an absolute disadvantage compared with the Tang army on the head of the city, just now it was only the cowardice and retreat of the Tang army that gave them the possibility of temporarily gaining a foothold in the city, but the rebels of more than 100 people were surrounded and killed by the Tang army several times their own size, and no matter how hard they struggled, they could not gain the upper hand, and finally all the encircled Tang army sergeants were all wiped out at the head of the city, or kicked down the city.

However, the Tang army sergeants also paid a lot of price, and nearly 200 sergeants were killed and wounded on the top of the city that was almost broken through by the rebels.

The morale of the Tang army was finally completely aroused, and there was not a single living rebel sergeant in the city. Under the fierce fighting between the two sides, the city was already covered with rivers of blood, corpses and severed arms everywhere, and some wounded sergeants fell to the ground and groaned in pain, but the wounded sergeants were ignored for the time being. The rebels below the city still did not give up, and under the command of several lieutenant generals, they attacked the city fiercely.

But the rebels under the city have gone, they are completely in danger, it is impossible to occupy the city, and it is impossible to advance or retreat.

Without follow-up reinforcements, the number of rebels under the city can only get smaller and smaller.

Seeing that the situation was basically clear, and our sergeants had a complete advantage on the battlefield, Yang Xi breathed a sigh of relief, and the sword in his hand was also sheathed, and he retreated to the city gate to watch the battle. To Yang Xi's surprise, the rain also slowly stopped, and just as the rebels' offensive was completely suppressed, the clouds began to disperse, and a ray of sunlight came out of the clouds and shone on the head of Tongguan City.

The summer sun has always been unpopular, but now the sun has made many people rejoice, and the hateful wind and rain have passed, and even if the rebels attack the city on a large scale, it is impossible to succeed. The archers at the head of the city began to play to their heart's content again.

Although the rain stopped, the water flow in the forbidden ditch became stronger and stronger, and it was almost impossible for the subsequent rebels to cross the fast-flowing forbidden ditch to attack the city, unless they built a bridge over the forbidden ditch. But in the current situation, the rebels have no chance to build a bridge!

The archers at the head of the city did not need to pay attention to the rebels outside the forbidden ditch for the time being, and their targets were the remaining rebels under the head of the city.

The lethality of the arrows fired almost vertically was greater than that of flat fire, and the attack of the rebels who desperately landed on the city and wanted to fight the last time was completely disintegrated, and a large number of rebels fell with arrows, and they were injured if they were not killed. Most of the dead and wounded fell into the forbidden ditch and were swept away by the flood.

In the face of the rain of arrows, the rebels under the city suffered heavy casualties, and finally some rebel sergeants could not withstand it, turned around and fled, desperately jumping into the forbidden ditch to flee for their lives. However, most of the sergeants who jumped into the forbidden ditch were swept away by the rapids, and only some lucky or clever ones were able to grasp the branches or protruding stones to avoid being shot by the arrows of the Tang army on the city, but they still could not cross the forbidden ditch.

Seeing that the rebels at the head of the city were in a mess, and it was no longer possible to organize a large-scale and orderly attack, Yang Xi knew that at least the direction of the south gate was worry-free under the current situation. However, the offensive of the rebels in the direction of the east gate will definitely be strengthened, even if the direction of the east gate cannot show more troops due to the terrain, but the rebels who cannot attack on a large scale in the direction of the south gate can only attack the east gate.

In the direction of the East Gate, is it so easy to attack? Even if the rebels stacked the corpses to the height of the city, it would be almost impossible to get to the city.

The crisis in Tongguan has been basically lifted!

The nearby and distant peaks loomed in the continuous clouds and mist, and Yang Xi realized that the scenery here was still quite beautiful!
