- "Boom!" In the midst of an earth-shattering loud noise, a bundle of explosives flew out of the "mighty general's cannon" and landed on the top of a mountain hundreds of paces away, and then made an even more shocking sound. With the explosion of the explosive pack, countless pieces of rubble and soil flew into the air, scattering in all directions like scattered flowers of the heavenly maidens, and the thick smoke covered the scene near the explosion site.

Then a gust of wind blew, and most of the black smoke was blown away, revealing the explosion point.

I saw that on the originally gentle hillside, a large pit had been blown out, estimated to have a diameter of about one zhang, but I don't know the specific depth, it must not be shallow, and the mud and rocks that were blown out fell everywhere.

If the pit wasn't deep, there wouldn't have been so much mud and rock.

Guo Xi, who was hiding in a nearby bunker and holding a telescope to find out the situation, was stunned and completely unbelievable.

There are such powerful weapons in the world, if there are people near the explosion point, then these people will be blown into the air like mud and rocks, and the whole person will be torn apart and turned into stumps and broken arms. Although he had already learned a little about the battle situation in Shaanxi County, and had heard Yang Xi say how powerful this weapon was, Guo Xi was still surprised when he saw it with his own eyes. If he hadn't known anything beforehand, he would have been frightened when he saw such a powerful weapon for the first time. If you are attacked by such a weapon, you will be scared and want to flee.

Guo Xi understood in an instant why Shaanxi County was captured by Yang Xi's men so quickly.

"Brother Ziyang, how powerful is the weapon made by this son? Did it scare you? Yang Xi patted Guo Xi, whose face was a little pale, and joked with a smile. There were only two of them in the bunker. Yang Xi was a little more casual.

"Marshal Yang, the last general really admires you. can make such a sharp weapon," Guo Xi was just about to have stars in his eyes. He was a man of heroes. Those who showed bravery in the battle were all admired by him, and of course, Yang Xi, who had achieved great achievements in battle and could make weapons with incomparable force, was also classified by him as a powerful role, and he admired him more and more.

Telescopes, gunpowder, mighty generals' cannons, horseshoes, these very useful things that can greatly improve the combat power and survivability of the army, were all made by Yang Xi, who was in the battle to defend Tongguan and attack Shaanxi County. has won a brilliant record, such a talented person, even if he is the son of Yang Guozhong, it is very admirable, Guo Xi has completely believed in the rise of Yang Xi after the war. Guo Xi also fully believes that with the existence of people like Yang Xi, the glory of the Yang family will not end here, and will play a more prosperous role in Yang Xi's hands.

The rebellion has not yet subsided. Yang Xi also continued to fight as the deputy marshal of the soldiers and horses, so Yang Xi's military exploits will become more and more, and the glory and halo worn on his head will also increase. To be able to marry such a person and form an alliance must be a very smart decision. Guo Xi once again strengthened his thoughts, and was ready to discuss this matter with his father Guo Ziyi after returning to Changshan.

When I was in Fuchu last night. He and his sister Guo Xin have already discussed this situation, but there is no result. His utilitarian ideas were ridiculed by Guo Xin. But Guo Xi is not discouraged, he can see it. The sister who is closest to him has a good impression of Yang Xi, and Yang Xi also seems to be interested in Guo Xin, and the two seem to be a good match. If you can do this after going back to your father, then you won't have to worry too much about many things in the future. Guo Xi believes that his father Guo Ziyi will also approve of his proposal.

Just as Guo Xi was thinking wildly, Yang Xi on the side suggested that the two of them go over together to see the consequences of the explosion. Guo Xi, who came back to his senses, also respectfully agreed, and followed Yang Xi to see the situation at the explosion point.

When he came to the explosion point where the gunpowder smoke had dissipated, Guo Xi was surprised to see a large pit about a foot wide and about a foot deep in front of him. "Marshal Yang, the last general really admires that you can make such a powerful weapon, and thank you Marshal Yang for giving you such a weapon!" Guo Xi sighed again and thanked him.

Just now, Yang Xi had promised him, giving him five "mighty general cannons", as well as 200 catties of gunpowder and 50 explosives bags for launching.

"General Guo Lang, you don't have to be so polite. By the way, Ben Shuai has to go to Shaanxi County first, after you collect some of the things that Ben Shuai gifted, you can also set off, be careful all the way!" Yang Xi solemnly instructed again, "When you return to the north this time, you must ensure the safety of these firearms given to you by this commander, if there is an abnormal situation, you must destroy them, and they must not fall into the hands of the rebels, remember, remember!"

The place where they are staying now is Tongguan, and Yang Xi has to rush to Shaanxi County, because he has received news from the special training team, saying that An Lushan has decided not to return to the division to rescue Fan Yang, but to divide the troops into two routes, all the way with Sun Xiaozhe and Tian Qianzhen as the main generals, leading 150,000 horses to the west, preparing to take Shaanxi County again. And An Qingxu, Cai Xide, Gao Xiuyan and other generals led 180,000 horses and horses, and attacked Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi's troops.

Knowing this situation, and learning that the rebels had already gone from all over the country, Sun Xiaozhe and Tian Qianzhen had already gone west, Yang Xi naturally had to rush to Shaanxi County as soon as possible to make new arrangements. He was also afraid that Guo Xi would encounter rebels on the way back to the north, so he repeatedly told him to be careful, if he encountered rebels, he must destroy all the weapons he gave him, and never fall into the hands of the rebels.

Yang Xi believed that the formula of gunpowder was unknown to others except him and several core craftsmen in the gunpowder workshop, and even if the rebels captured gunpowder, they could not imitate it, but they were afraid of anything. It would be a huge hassle if it was captured by the rebels and copied by them. When Guo Xi returned to Beijing, he was accompanied by hundreds of guards, all of whom were brave and good fighters, and Yang Xi believed that they would be very calm when they encountered the enemy and had enough time to destroy these weapons, but he still repeatedly told Guo Xi to be careful.

"The last general will keep in mind the marshal's instructions, and must safely transfer the weapons given by the marshal to his father, if there is an accident, even if he does not want this life, he will destroy these weapons according to the marshal's orders, and resolutely will not let them fall into the hands of the rebels," Guo Xi replied very resolutely, and after assuring it, he said: "My father must be very grateful for the marshal's help, as well as the gift of weapons, and I will thank them at that time." ”

Yang Xi patted Guo Xi on the shoulder and didn't say anything more. The two also separated, Yang Xi returned to Shaanxi County, and Guo Xi immediately crossed the Yellow River to the north after leaving Tongguan, and returned to Changshan County, where Guo Ziyi's troops were stationed-

After An Lushan gave the order to divide the troops to attack, the generals soon led the army to set off.

In fact, there are not many troops of the rebel army gathered in Luoyang now, except for the 100,000 troops and horses who defend Luoyang, there are only 50,000 or 60,000 soldiers and horses that can be deployed. There are still more than 500,000 horses under the command of An Lushan, distributed in the area from Fanyang to Jianghuai, Sun Xiaozhe, Tian Qianzhen, Shi Siming, Cai Xide, and Gao Xiuyan want to attack the target area, and they need to gather all the troops along the way in order to assemble the men and horses.

In addition to Shi Siming and Sun Xiaozhe, the two men and horses preparing for new battles, the rebels also had military operations in other places. The general Yin Ziqi led his army to attack the Jianghuai area, striving to bring more rich land under the rule of "Dayan", so as to collect more taxes and grain for the expenses of the "Dayan" court. Because there are not many elite soldiers and horses of the Tang Dynasty in the Jianghuai area, Yin Ziqi's attack was quite smooth, but because there were too few troops, there was no way to capture more places. The threat of the Tang army in the Jianghuai area was not great, and the main threat came from Yang Xi's department in the direction of Tongguan, as well as Guo Ziyi, Li Guangbi, and Yan Zhenqing's troops near Changshan in the north, and An Lushan was heavily invested in these two directions.

Sun Xiaozhe is a Khitan people, because his mother and An Lushan fornication, was reused, An Lushan self-proclaimed "Dayan" emperor, was awarded the palace prison, idle stable, letter king, the degree of reuse is only less than Yan Zhuang, because of its fierce nature, brutal, many people are deeply jealous of it.

And Sun Xiaozhe has always had good military achievements, this time he took the post of deputy marshal of soldiers and horses, and led 150,000 horses to attack Shaanxi County and Tongguan again, but he made a military order in front of An Lushan. He is also full of pride, confident that with his own means and experience, he will definitely be able to defeat Yang Xi, a kid who doesn't even have a hairy hair.

The sky has turned cold, and the cold wind is blowing in his face, but Sun Xiaozhe has no fear, he ordered Tian Qianzhen to speed up the journey, strive to arrive in Shaanxi County as soon as possible, launch an attack on Shaanxi County, and recapture this gateway city that attacked Tongguan. At the same time as he gave the order, he was also secretly scolding Cui Qianyou, if there was no Cui Qianyou's nest, how could Shaanxi County be lost, and 100,000 horses would not be annihilated. Leaving a mess for him to clean up, Sun Xiaozhe was very unhappy, and he also reprimanded Cui Qianyou's incompetence before yesterday's trip, which made An Lushan more and more disgusted with this general who had made great contributions in Lingbao.

Following Sun Xiaozhe to lead the army, Tian Qianzhen was unwilling, he knew Sun Xiaozhe's temperament, this is an extremely difficult person to get along with. But the "holy order" is difficult to disobey, An Lushan's order he did not dare to disobey, not to mention that he participated in the attack on Shaanxi County and Tongguan, he is quite familiar with the situation in this area, he does not lead the army to the west to attack Tongguan, it is really unreasonable.

Sun Xiaozhe personally led the front army of 70,000 people, ordered Tian Qianzhen to lead the Chinese army of 60,000, and the other general Ling Guchao led the rear army of 20,000. After the 150,000 men and horses finally gathered, they rushed towards Shaanxi County with murderous spirit. But neither Sun Xiaozhe nor Tian Qianzhen knew that they would encounter a lot of hardships on this trip, and they would never have the opportunity to return to Luoyang to enjoy their comfortable life.

Yang Xi had already returned to Shaanxi County and found out that their 150,000 men had raised troops to attack Shaanxi County.

After Yang Xi returned to Shaanxi County, he immediately made arrangements, and distributed his 100,000 men and horses in Shaanxi County and some nearby cities, relying on each other to respond to each other. The special training team, which had made great achievements but did not satisfy Yang Xi, also began their outstanding performances.

Sun Xiaozhe and Tian Qianzhen's nightmare also began from here!
