It was already dark, but in the direction of Hantong Pass, it was very bright, and the raging fire continued to burn, igniting the surrounding shrubs and trees, and Yang Xi, who was watching all this, couldn't help but smile a little.

To repel the rebels' last attack today in this way was something he had never expected, originally in his imagination, this battle must have been very fierce, and even he once had the idea of asking a certain general to lead an army to support, retreat the rebels' advance and attack, and then find a way to retreat, of course, this is only possible to consider when Pang and Li Bu seem to be outstretched.

He didn't want to let the more than 2,000 people under Li Fu and Pang Zhong be killed or wounded like this, and he wanted to bring them back to enrich the strength to defend the Sui Tong Pass. Bringing this man back will certainly boost morale and boost the morale of the army to a great extent. If the Hantong Pass City is breached, the two thousand people are destined to not be able to retreat with their whole body, and the casualties will be very heavy, which will cause a great blow to the morale of the soldiers at the head of the Sui Tong Pass City who are watching the battle. If you don't save yourself, it will definitely chill many people!

However, Yang Xi would only send troops to rescue when he had no choice but to send troops to the rescue, and work with Pang and Li to repel the rebels besieging the city, and then find a way to withdraw it. If Pang and Li can hold on, he will stick to the established plan and will not waver, and he does not want accidents.

Now that the rebels have retreated, all worries have been eliminated, and Yang Xi's heart has also been relaxed.

He believed that what Pang Zhong and Li Fu did in the future would not disappoint, and they would definitely retreat quietly in disguise the city and let the rebels unexpected, and they would also leave the rebels with a rotten city that they could not defend, traps everywhere, which would make the rebels go crazy.

The battle of Hantong Pass can be fought like this, in addition to the efforts of the soldiers, there is also an element of luck in it.

Yang Xi also believes that God favors him!

He was not a very good commander, he had not commanded a large number of troops to fight, and many arrangements were only made in the way he felt was right, and there must have been many times when he took it for granted, just like how to arrange the two thousand soldiers and horses in Hantong Pass was also a little taken for granted, and such arrangements were not necessarily the best. It's just that he hopes that there will be fewer chances to make wrong decisions, and even if there are mistakes, they will not affect the overall situation, and he will not "make a careless move and lose everything"! He will be more experienced and make fewer mistakes in making decisions as the war progresses.

Yang Xi immediately ordered the sergeants at the east gate under his personal command to prepare to meet Pang Zhong and Li Fude, who had made great contributions, and ordered the other sergeants at the head of the city, except for the sergeants on night patrol, to take turns to rest, replenish food and drink, recover their strength, and prepare for tomorrow's more difficult battle. However, Yang Xi himself didn't feel very tired, he had a belief in his heart to support him.

In fact, he hadn't slept for two days and one night, according to physiological common sense, his body was extremely tired and needed to rest very much, but experiencing such a big battle made his heart full of excitement, things were not arranged properly, and the exact news of reinforcements did not come, he did not want to sleep. But rest is still a must, Yang Xi is quite experienced in this regard, he can force himself to sleep in a very short time and recover his strength as soon as possible.

This is the ability tempered by brutal special training in later generations!

Just when Yang Xi methodically commanded the sergeant to prepare to receive Pang Zhong and Li Fu's department back, the sergeant came to report, and an urgent military report came.

This was sent by Dou Hua, the general of the follow-up reinforcements, and in the urgent report, Dou Hua told Yang Xi that his troops would advance overnight and arrive at Tongguan as quickly as possible. However, due to objective factors, it is impossible to arrive soon, and it is estimated that we can arrive in Tongguan as soon as tomorrow afternoon or evening.

The 5,000 men and horses commanded by Zhang Yan, who followed him, could also arrive at Tongguan in the middle of the night tomorrow at the earliest.

Receiving such news, Yang Xi's heart was still quite heavy, the speed of the follow-up reinforcements was about the same as he expected, and there was no surprise in receiving such an urgent report! If Dou Hua's 3,000 reinforcements could reach Tongguan tonight, and Zhang Yan's 5,000 men and horses could also arrive at Tongguan in the second half of the night, Yang Xi believed that he would not give up the Hantong Pass City, but would send sergeants to reinforce and resolutely defend it!

However, the news that reinforcements would arrive tomorrow evening or evening reassured him, as long as he led the defeat of more than 10,000 remnants of the army and survived tomorrow, the danger would be less. Yang Xi believes that with the dangerous terrain of Tongguan City, and the common hatred of more than 10,000 people and horses, tomorrow will definitely be able to hold on to the past. However, Chen Xuanli's department didn't know when it would arrive, which still made Yang Xi have a faint worry in his heart, the more than 50,000 people were the decisive force to save Tongguan and completely reverse the situation!

In the middle of the night, Li Fu and Pang Zhong's troops quietly withdrew to the Sui Tong Pass City, and there was hardly much movement coming out, and the fire in front of the Han Tong Pass City had almost been extinguished, only the green smoke was rising from the mountains. At the head of the Hantong Pass, there are still many "sergeants" guarding the city, strictly preventing the rebels from attacking at night! And many facilities in the city have also been passive.

He personally welcomed Pang Zhong and Li Fu's troops into the city, relocated and distributed the two thousand men and horses, and ordered them to rest immediately!

Just when Yang Xi was making arrangements and preparing to order all the generals to disperse and seize the time to rest, an urgent report came from Chang'an.

As soon as he heard that it was an urgent report from Chang'an, his heart immediately put down, and when he opened the emergency report, Yang Xi almost jumped up excitedly. It turned out to be an edict from the imperial court appointing him as the deputy marshal of the Tongguan soldiers and horses.

"I have become the deputy marshal of the generals of the festival!" Yang Xi was a little excited.

Generals, marshals, the original unattainable dream turned out to be realized in a few days because of the crossing.

Being a general is a dream that most soldiers aspire to, and Yang Xi is the same, he has been dreaming of being a general. It's just that in later generations, he was only a major company commander before he was discharged from the army and transferred to another career, and he was not many levels away from a general, let alone the legendary marshal.

If he hadn't changed careers for some special reasons, it would have been possible to become a general, which theoretically existed, but marshal was not possible, because there was no military rank of marshal in the People's Liberation Army, and marshal became history. But he didn't expect that he crossed over to the Tang Dynasty, and in just a few days, he became a "general" commanding more than 10,000 sergeants and many famous generals under his command, and now, he has become a "marshal", how much glorious glory is on his head, even if he is in a calm mood, he can't help but show joy.

From now on, he is a marshal, others want to call him "Marshal Yang", and if he is called like this by others, his waist will be more straight!

Yang Xi also immediately announced this edict in front of all the generals! The generals under his command, whether they were willing or unwilling, could only accept this new edict from the imperial court and call Yang Xi a "marshal"! Yang Xi's heart was full of excitement when he safely brought the more than 2,000 men and horses led by Pang Zhong and Li Fude into the city, and when he received the imperial court's edict appointing him as the deputy marshal of the soldiers and horses, Yang Xi's heart was full of excitement! He was also filled with confidence that he would win.

However, rest still has to continue, if you don't sleep, replenish your strength, it is unknown whether you can command tomorrow's battle!

However, before Yang Xi decided to rest, he still led several of his generals to patrol the head of Tongguan City, and ordered the sergeants patrolling the head of the city to strengthen their vigilance to prevent the rebels from attacking the city at night, and discussed the situation of tomorrow's battle with Ge Shuhan and other generals, and then went to the official residence for him to rest accompanied by a group of personal generals.
