(Today's four watches!) At the beginning of the new week, continue to rush the new book list, ask for chayexschayexs recommendation votes in the hands of book friends, ask chayexschayexs. to collect and reward! －_－)

"Report to Yang soldiers and horses, General Li made a successful surprise attack, killed about 500 rebels, and only lost two cavalry, General Li is leading his troops to retreat to an ambush point behind, and the rebels have temporarily stopped advancing!"

A sergeant quickly reported the latest military report to Yang Xi.

"Ben knows!" Yang Xi replied lightly, and waved his hand to order the sergeant who had reported to stand back, and continued to look up at the southeast of Tongguan, that is, the direction where the ambush had just taken place.

Li Chengguang and Gao Shi, who had finished arranging the task, also passed through the city gate tower and stood with Yang Xi. They had come to report to Yang Xi on their latest arrangement, and just as they had finished their report and wanted to ask for further instructions, the sergeant hurriedly came up to report that Li Fu had succeeded in the ambush and had retreated safely after two rounds of killing, and that the rebels had temporarily halted their advance.

Li Chengguang and Gao Shi were very surprised by this news, but they didn't see any change in their expressions on Yang Xi's face, and they couldn't help but be surprised.

In the end, Li Chengguang asked cautiously: "Yang Bingma envoy, why are you not happy at all when you hear this news?" Could it be that General Li didn't complete the task you assigned? ”

"Of course I'm happy!" Yang Xi did not turn his head, but his eyes were still looking ahead, and he said in a flat tone as just now: "General Li commanded this battle well, not only struck a blow to the rebel strikers, caused panic among the rebels, but also ensured the safe evacuation of the personnel. It's just that the results of five hundred horsemen can't ultimately affect the outcome of the battle, unless the scale is magnified several times! But this is a good start, General Li has made a great contribution, and he will report the matter to the imperial court and ask for a reward from the imperial court! It's just that the general has just begun, and the most challenging time in Tongguan City has not yet come, and the follow-up delay of the imperial court cannot come immediately, and we continue to win again, and we can't get carried away! Unless the rebels are allowed to make a big loss under Tongguan City and let them retreat after heavy losses, then is the time for us to celebrate!"

Hearing Yang Xi say this, Li Chengguang and Gao Shi breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that the newly appointed soldier and horse envoy thought about the long term and didn't take this small victory seriously, this kind of mind really doesn't look like a young man!

Yang Xi glanced back at Li Chengguang and Gao Shihou, who had different expressions in their eyes, and then said: "The rebels will eventually understand that the ambush of our men and horses is just to delay time, and when they understand, it will be the time to attack the city in a big way." According to the current situation, Hantong Pass City must not be able to hold it, and all the departments that eventually leave the city will retreat back to Tongguan City. Whether they can safely take back the various departments outside the city and resist the attack of the rebels depends on General Li and General Gao!"

"The last general must live up to his mission, live up to the expectations of Yang soldiers and horses, bravely kill the enemy, defend Tongguan City, and return to General Li and General Pang's headquarters!"

Li Chengguang and Gao Shiyi said the same thing one after the other, expressing their determination and confidence to Yang Xi.

Yes, they already have a little recognition and even admiration for Yang Xi, all of which are directly related to Yang Xi's performance before and after arriving in Tongguan. If the others could lead 3,000 men and horses, spend more than 200 miles in an afternoon and more than half of the night, rush to Tongguan, and kill the fire Ba Guiren who wanted to hold Marshal Ge Shuhan hostage at the first time, and then immediately make arrangements, prepare to meet the enemy, comfort the generals, and not hold anyone responsible, and achieve the first victory after contact with the rebels, they will all admire!

If Yang Xi was not Yang Guozhong's son, he would be recognized and affirmed by more people, as well as admired.

Of course, Yang Xi also knows this, but there is no way to do it, if he does not become Yang Guozhong's son, then it is impossible for him to lead the army to Tongguan, and there is no follow-up performance, everything seems to have a bit of a fish and a bear's paw, and he can't have both.

Seeing Yang Xi continuing to stand on the city tower very calmly, checking the movement in the east, Gao Shi couldn't help but ask again: "Yang soldiers and horses, if our army succeeds in several ambushes, and the rebels are finally delayed in their marching speed, do you need to send men and horses to assist General Pang of Laotong Pass City, and strive to block the rebels from Laotong Pass City?" He didn't agree with what Yang Xi said just now that Hantong Pass City must not be able to hold, and hoped that Yang Xi could send more men and horses to guard Hantong Pass City, as he did in the past few months, to stop the rebels far away from Hantong Pass!

Yang Xi turned his head and showed a rare smile to Gao Shi, and said, "General Gao, if the people of the Tongtong Pass City help defend the Hantong Pass City now, it is possible to hold there, but the risk will be infinite, and there is no way out!" If we can't hold it in the unlikely future, the official army will be quickly defeated in an instant, and there will be no chance of retreating to the Tongguan City where we are standing now. This is also the reason why Marshal Geshu retreated to Tongguan after the defeat and directly abandoned the Hantong Pass City, according to the topography of the Tongguan City where we are standing now, as long as the forbidden ditch is dangerous, all the soldiers will work together to definitely hold the Tongguan City! Therefore, you can't send troops to support General Pang, you just need to take him and General Li's headquarters back to the city!"

It turned out that in history, Tongguan City was quickly lost after the defeat of Lingbao, which was related to the surrender of Geshuhan held by Huoba Guiren. If there was no such drama, Tongguan would not necessarily fall into the hands of the rebels, or it would not have fallen so quickly.

Now that Huoba Guiren has been killed, Ge Shuhan is still commanding the battle at the head of Tongguan City, and there is a new force led by him, a newcomer, to rescue Tongguan in time, how can he replicate the same trend in history? What's more, Chen Xuanli also led the army to Tongguan to help!

"The last general understands!" Gao Shi was a little stunned, but there was still something in his heart, not very comfortable, but he couldn't figure out how to say it.

Yang Xi didn't ask anymore, still staring at the front in silence. At this time, he was muttering, how good it would be if he had a high-powered military telescope in his hand, then he could observe the enemy from a distance! It's a pity that only one soul came to this crossing, and I didn't bring anything useful!

At this time, the sun has jumped out of the horizon, and when the glow begins to sway the world, the heat also comes, Li Chengguang wanted to invite Yang Xi to sit in the city tower and have some breakfast, but Yang Xi refused.

He was still standing, and he had breakfast brought here, and he ate it standing.

There is no shortage of materials in Tongguan City, and the food is piled up, and it is not a problem to supply more than 10,000 soldiers for half a year, Ge Shuhan and Yang Xi have just issued orders to ensure the supply of food for the soldiers defending the city, and to let the soldiers eat enough to defend the city, and never let them fight the rebels on an empty stomach. With the food needs of the soldiers guaranteed, their physical strength can be maintained, and with physical strength can they kill the enemy?

At the same time that Yang Xi received the report, the defenders of the various city heads, including Ge Shuhan, also received the news that Li Fu had successfully ambushed him and retreated safely after two rounds of charge. This small-scale victory, to a certain extent, boosted the morale of the officers and men of the Tang Army who had just returned from defeat, especially the main generals such as Ge Shuhan and Wang Sili, whose confidence, which had disappeared for most of them, was slowly restored!

But everyone knows that the harder battle is yet to come!
