(3rd Update!) ——

Completely different from the ease with which Wang Sili's troops and Pang Zhong's troops attacked the camp, the Gao Shi troops who commanded the men and horses to attack Yin Ziqi's rear army and Liu Guangting and Lu Chongben's troops who supported them afterwards were not so smooth. Yin Ziqi quickly organized more than 10,000 men and horses to resist, and encountered Gao Shi's men and horses outside the camp. The killing of the two sides was inseparable, and Yin Ziqi's follow-up men and horses quickly organized a counterattack.

Gao Shibu, who was originally only responsible for blocking, did not have an advantage in terms of strength compared with Yin Ziqi's department, and there was a situation when Yin Ziqi's department counterattacked. Fortunately, Liu Guangting's troops and Lu Chongben's troops arrived later, and after the three departments gathered, there were nearly 40,000 horses, compared with the Yin Ziqi troops who were organized in a hurry, they were in an advantageous position in terms of troops, and the follow-up support was still in the process of coming. However, Yin Ziqi's resistance was still very tenacious, and after Gao Shi, Liu Guangting, and Lu Chongben joined forces, they didn't take advantage of anything.

Yang Xi's plan for this attack did not have the intention of completely annihilating the rebels' 180,000 or so men, after all, the rebels' front, middle, and rear armies were lying in a continuous place of nearly ten miles, unless they launched an attack on their three armies at the same time, there might be a chance to completely annihilate the rebels, but this was an impossible complete task, because the north and south sides were not far from the rebels, respectively, a river and a high mountain, to gather more than 100,000 troops in these two directions, and not be discovered by the rebels, it was tantamount to a fool's dream. Yang Xi was already very happy to be able to unexpectedly attack the rebel camp.

Planning such a surprise battle, if you can attack the enemy camp before being discovered by the other party, it will already be a super surprise. If the opponent has already attacked three or five miles outside his camp before he discovers it, it will be basically difficult for the opponent to make an effective defense, and the attack on the camp can basically achieve results. Being discovered by the opponent at such a close distance was enough to destroy the opponent's fighting spirit and make them have no intention of resisting. Yang Xi was very pleasantly surprised to be able to achieve such a result today, without encountering large-scale resistance from the rebels.

His original plan was to use Gao Shi's troops to intercept the reinforcements of Yin Ziqi's troops and completely defeat Tian Qianzhen's troops and Sun Xiaozhe's troops, so that he would be very satisfied. Therefore, there are not many people allocated to Gao Shi, just let him block it, even if he pays a certain price, it doesn't matter. It wasn't until he received the news that the progress between the various ministries was very smooth, and he ordered several ministries to support Gao Shi and give Yin Ziqi's troops as much as possible a blow.

It is no longer a problem to eliminate Tian Qianzhen's department and Sun Xiaozhe's department, and Yang Xi hopes to hit Yin Ziqi's department hard.

Another horse galloped in front of Yang Xi and reported loudly: "Report to the marshal, the rebel Yin Ziqi's troops are not defeated and retreat, and General Gao, General Lu, and General Liu are leading their troops to pursue!"

"Order the three generals Gao Shi, Lu Chongben, and Liu Guangting, and order them to pursue fiercely, and not give Yin Ziqi's troops a chance to retreat!"

Yang Xi gave the order again decisively, and the opponent fled, so of course he had to chase after him fiercely, so as not to give Yin Ziqi a chance to escape.

The sergeant who gave the order immediately conveyed his order.

There was an endless stream of sergeants who came to report the military situation, and most of them were sent by Wang Sili, Pang Zhong and other generals who attacked the front army and the big tent of the Chinese army.

After receiving more and more good news, Yang Xi couldn't hide the joy in his heart anymore, and wanted to scream a few times at the dark sky to vent his current ecstasy.

"Immediately pass the battle report to His Royal Highness King Yan, and then send it to Chang'an in an urgent report, so that His Majesty the Emperor knows how correct it is to let Ben Shuai continue to command the army to fight!" Yang Xi was furious, ignoring the surprised expression of the sergeant who gave the order, and after giving the order, he gave the order again, "Then order Wang Sili and General Pang Zhong to continue to rush and kill, and order the rebels to surrender. Rebel escapees, be sure to pursue. ”

"It is advisable to chase the poor with the remaining bravery, not to sell the name of the overlord," if you win the battle, you must take advantage of the victory to pursue, give the target of the attack the most thorough blow, and have the opportunity to annihilate the opponent's men and horses, how can you let them go? Judging from the situation on the battlefield, the rebels who surrendered were tens of thousands, which was the same as when attacking Shaanxi County, and not many rebels were "unyielding and stubbornly resisting", if the pace of the attack was accelerated a little more, and even the fleeing rebels were chased and killed, then this battle may almost solve Sun Xiaozhe's nearly 200,000 horses. After all, the predecessor of the rebel army was the Tang Army, and for most of the sergeants, it is not much different who fights with them, as long as they are given good enough treatment.

Just as Yang Xi gave orders in succession, another sergeant quickly rushed to Yang Xi and reported the situation loudly: "Marshal Qiyu, the rebel Sun Xiaozhe was killed by General Pang, and the head will be sent over soon." ”

"Huh?! Yang Xi shouted in surprise, "Sun Xiaozhe was killed on the spot, haha, these hundreds of thousands of rebels, Ben Shuai is going to swallow them all." ”

A moment after the sergeant came to report quickly, another group of sergeants rushed over and rushed to the hillside where Yang Xi was standing at a very fast speed.

Because it was dark, even with a telescope, he couldn't see the situation in the distance clearly, and it wasn't until this group of sergeants rushed close that Yang Xi couldn't see who it was. It was Pang Zhong who commanded the Chinese soldiers and horses to enter the rebel Chinese army's tent, Pang Zhong was holding the reins with one hand and carrying something with the other.

After seeing who it was, Yang Xi's personal guards, who rushed over to intercept him, also let go of the passage and let Pang Zhong and the others come over.

"Marshal, the last general killed the rebel commander Sun Xiaozhe!" Before Pang Zhongren rushed in front of Yang Xi, the voice of ecstasy came, and he raised the object in his hand high.

Only then did Yang Xi see clearly that what Pang Zhong was carrying in his hand was a flesh-and-blood human head. Just as he was about to be asked, Pang Zhong, who rushed to the front, raised the head in front of him and reported loudly: "Marshal, this is Sun Xiaozhe's head, the last general will cut off Sun Xiaozhe's head and personally send it to the marshal." ”

"Okay, General Pang has made a great contribution again, and this commander will immediately send Sun Xiaozhe's head to Chang'an and hand it over to His Majesty for inspection, and His Majesty will definitely reward the general!" Following Yang Xi's words, a personal guard immediately stepped forward and took the bloody head from Pang Zhong's hands.

"Marshal, the enemy army has not been completely cleared, and the army will continue to lead the army to kill the enemy!" After Pang Zhong, who was full of pride, gave a military salute to Yang Xi, he immediately led the guards around him to gallop away.

"Pass on the commander's order, and immediately send Sun Xiaozhe's head to Chang'an with six hundred miles in an expedited manner!" Yang Xi also immediately gave an order.

"Yes, Marshal!" A sergeant immediately went to carry it out.

I really didn't expect that Sun Xiaozhe was killed so easily, of course Yang Xi was very surprised, and the surprise was that he didn't know how to express his surprise. Sun Xiaozhe was killed, and the rebel commander was gone, so what about Tian Qianzhen and Yin Ziqi, the two deputy generals?

Yang Xi hoped that the two lieutenants and other major generals under Sun Xiaozhe would be killed or captured. (To be continued.) )
