The rebels seemed to have insight into the thoughts of the defenders at the head of the city, and they originally wanted to attract the first wave of ferocious attacks with the people, but when they found that the people were in range, the Tang army did not release the arrows, and they immediately realized that the Tang army was a rat thrower. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 Soon, the 20,000 rebel soldiers at the front blended into the ranks of the people under the command of the generals, and rushed to the city under the cover of the people.

Soon, they were approaching fifty paces from the wall, and soon they were about to cross the moat and come under the wall. At the head of the city, Wang Yuan quickly commanded Zhao Qing, and Zhao Qing immediately summoned dozens of guards to stand on the edge of the city wall and shouted in unison to the city: "People, the head of the city is garrisoned by Wang Yuan, the generalissimo of my Tang Dynasty soldiers and horses, you can rest assured, Marshal Wang will save you." Now you do as we instruct you. ”

The shouts of dozens of people reached the city, and the people looked at the city in surprise. The soldiers beside them scolded them viciously, and pressed their swords to their necks, telling them to be honest and not to move around.

"Listen up, people. Marshal Wang has an order, and you will rush to the city at once. Rush! From the firelight at the head of the city, the Tang army shouted in unison.

The people were stunned for a moment, and then suddenly they woke up, and everyone rushed to their hearts.

"Jump into the moat, jump all into the moat." The shouts of the people at the head of the city pointed the people in the direction. At this time, the people still think so much? and they did what the city told them to do. So men, women, and children, all rushed down the city, and then jumped into the moat regardless of it. For a while, the sound of popping was endless, and the moat was soon full of people who were floating in the water. They crowded in the river, but fortunately the river was not deep, and there was no fear of their lives.

The rebels in the midst of the people tried their best to stop them, wielding their swords and killing hundreds of people, but they could not stop the people from jumping into the moat in a frenzy. At this time, the desire to survive is far greater than the threat of the sword, especially after seeing that everyone else has done according to the instructions of the city head, the rest of the people are even more ignorant, for fear of falling behind, and the power that erupts at this time is huge.

"Stay away from the riverbank, swim along the river to both sides, and we will send someone to pick you up at the south and north gates." The loud shouts continued at the top of the city, and the people swam vigorously along the moat in both directions. In order to survive, the old men and women were also very explosive, and after a moment of panic, they fluttered along the river in the north and south directions.

"Grass!" The rebels were embarrassed, they couldn't stop the people from fleeing for their lives, but they couldn't jump into the moat. Because their goal is to rush to the city and attack the city, and if they jump into the river, how can they attack the city? But after the people rushed into the river, they were left on the shore, as if they had suddenly been stripped of their clothes and stood in the spotlight.

"Shoot the arrows!"

How could such an opportunity be let go, Wang Yuan let out a low shout, and the defenders of the city, who had been holding it for a long time, immediately shot out a fierce rain of arrows. The black pressure was like a curtain approaching, and the arrows covered the distance of thirty to fifty paces on the other side of the moat, dense like a sandstorm in the desert. The rebels in the area were emptied almost instantaneously. Nearly 2,000 rebel soldiers were killed in an instant.

Of course, the rain of arrows also affected more than 100 people on the riverbank and hundreds of people who had not yet had time to break away from the rebels, but this was also helpless. It is understandable to sacrifice a small part to save the majority.

The rebels were woken up by this round of arrows, and they wanted to flee back, but they knew that there was a death order from above, and there was no way to escape back. Moreover, the 30,000 second-echelon soldiers and horses in the rear were also rushing towards them, and they had no choice but to rush under the city wall dozens of steps away.

With a shout, 18,000 rebel vanguard siege troops rushed under the walls. However, this short distance of dozens of paces is simply a gate to hell. The rain of arrows on the city fell one after another, and each dense rain of arrows took thousands of lives, and the screams of fallen figures and arrows were everywhere. The whistling of arrows echoed in my ears, and the popping sound of piercing into the flesh was creepy.

The nearest thousands of rebel soldiers rushed to the wide passage in the moat at the first time, and the walls were so close that a distance of twenty or thirty paces was only a few breaths. However, this passage was a death passage, and dozens of bed crossbows at the head of the city were concentrated in this area. The effect of the huge iron-tipped crossbow bolts hitting the rebels' bodies was gorgeous and terrifying, and they could shoot a person apart, like the bursting of a skin bag filled with blood, and all kinds of internal organs, intestines, blood, flesh and fur flew everywhere. And they can also nail people to the ground alive. It can also make a person open a blood hole from the front chest to the back of the back, and the sharp eyes can instantly see the light from the front of a person's body from the back of the body.

In short, under the blockade of Fu Yuan's crossbow, this passage is simply the road to hell, and in just a short tea time, the passage is full of flesh and corpses, all of which are caused by the powerful force of Fu Yuan's crossbow.

Under the suppression of such a powerful strong bow and crossbow, the distance of dozens of steps made the first echelon of the rebels lose nearly half of their soldiers and horses, and more than 10,000 rebels rushed to the bottom of the city wall.

Gao Xiuyan, who witnessed all this in the rear, was terrified, although this time it was an all-out attack, he could have thought in advance that there would be heavy casualties. But just rushing to the city to pay such a heavy price was something he never expected. But even so, there was no way out at this time, and he also made a military order in front of Shi Siming, and he couldn't care about the casualties of the soldiers at this moment.

"Rush, rush me." Gao Xiuyan shouted the order, and personally urged the horses to lead the follow-up soldiers and horses to rush towards the city. The follow-up 80,000 soldiers had no formation to speak of, and they rushed into the range of bows and arrows in a swarm, rushing towards the city of Tongzhou.

The arrows whistling overhead have become accustomed to ignoring them, and the fallen companions around them have become accustomed to it, and at this moment, the most common thing is death, and everything seems to be a gamble of luck. Bet on whether the feathered arrows shot in the void in front of you will land on your head. Bet on whether you can outlive someone else.

The 10,000 rebels who rushed to the city took a breath and began to build a ladder to attack the city, which dispersed some of the forces of the defenders at the head of the city, and it was obvious that the rain of arrows at the head of the city was not as dense as it had been at the beginning, because they had to be distracted to deal with the rebel soldiers who were frantically attacking below.

Wang Yuan finally gave the order to let the Shenwei cannon bomb freely. In the face of such a frantic attack, it is no longer a wise move to save Thunder Bullets. Wang Yuan originally thought that under a certain number of casualties, the other party would retreat. But Shi Siming's persistence and stubbornness were beyond imagination, forcing Wang Yuan to use his hole cards.

After moving the position, the Shenwei cannon has been erected in the city wall, and Liu Dehai learned to be obedient and used the gap between battles to move the Shenwei cannon to give them more space to fire. After Wang Yuan gave the order for free bombing, more than 200 Shenwei cannons began to roar, throwing thunderbolts out of the city one after another, exploding on the land full of charging rebels.

Thunderbolts fell in rows, setting off waves of mud and dust in the sky, and the battlefield was suddenly in chaos. Exploding shrapnel flew in all directions, making a screeching sound. Once hit, the armor will be pierced by these pieces of iron, directly into the flesh.

With every thunderbolt dropped, more than a dozen rebel soldiers were blown into the air. And farther away, someone will fall inexplicably, that is, it is hit by the flying shrapnel. The rebel soldiers had no choice but to resign themselves to fate, because such a blow could not be expected or hidden, so they could only rush forward, and no part of the entire battlefield was actually safe.

Under the double blow of bows and arrows and Shenwei cannons, the casualties of the rebels soared, and the ground was littered with corpses and groaning and screaming soldiers. On the surface, this is not a battle of equal strength at all, but a crushing massacre. No one would have imagined that this was actually a siege battle fought by one side with nearly three times the superior forces, but it was as if these people were like moths to a flame.

I have to say that the rebels are tenacious, and years of fighting and training in border towns have made them out-and-out elite soldiers, otherwise how could An Lushan rely on them to fight all the way to Chang'an. Under such devastation and ravage, tens of thousands of rebels still quickly advanced to the city. Countless ladders were set up at the head of the city, and all the bows and arrows and divine cannons were soon useless, and the time for hand-to-hand siege began.

Nearly 80,000 rebel soldiers crowded the city like ants, and the siege ladders were full of soldiers. The rocks and logs at the head of the city rained down like a rain, but even so, it still did not stop the attack of these rebels, who were already close to madness. More than a dozen rushing carts had also advanced to the city base, and they could not get close to the city gate, so they simply began to smash the city wall under the cover of shields. The sound of the thudding made the walls tremble, making everyone uneasy.

The rebels are outnumbered and fearless to death. The ladders were toppled down one after another, and the soldiers on the ladders fell like peeling dirt from the city walls and fell to the ground. But even so, they climbed up again and again.

The siege of the city was fought hand-to-hand until the time of the incense, and the first rebel soldier attacked the city wall. Although he was quickly dismembered by the sword, the second, third, and fourth were followed by dozens of city walls, and hundreds of rebel soldiers rushed to the walls, and the situation seemed to become precarious.

Motionless, Wang Yuan, who was standing on the side of the city tower, didn't even blink his eyes. When the rebels attacked the city wall in large numbers, Gongsun Lan, who was standing beside him, slowly drew his long sword and said in a low voice: "Erlang, let's go." ”

Wang Yuan smiled and said, "Okay, everyone be careful, teach them what is the real killing." ”

Gongsun Lan nodded and walked towards the messy city wall, Li Xin'er, A Luo, Qingyun'er, Ziyun'er and others followed behind, one by one the swords were unsheathed, and the murderous aura was awe-inspiring.

The Detachment of Women is like a group of tigresses, and the first thing they encounter is a group of rebel soldiers who have just climbed up. They had just slashed and killed more than a dozen Shence troops defending the city, and they were rushing towards the city tower with great momentum. Seeing Gongsun Lan and the others, these dozen or so soldiers rushed towards with knives and shouting, but only one of them looked at each other, and they all lay on the ground. The soldiers of the Shence Army who rushed to the rear to reinforce were stunned, barely seeing how they died.

"Cousin Gongsun, Sister Xin'er, can you leave a few for us next time?" The short knife in Zi Yun'er's hand didn't even have a trace of blood, because her movements were too slow. Gongsun Lan killed seven in the blink of an eye, Li Xin'er killed four, A Luo killed two, and Qingyun'er also killed one. The fourteen rebel soldiers settled the account in an instant, and Zi Yun'er's martial arts were the weakest, and he didn't catch any of them.

"It's a matter of means. What is there to make. Ah Luo stubbornly pushed back, and hurriedly shot an arrow to kill a rebel who was probing from the ladder.

"Okay." Zi Yun'er smacked her lips and was speechless. Gongsun Lan pointed ahead with a cold face and said, "A few more came up over there and killed them." As he spoke, he was already a few feet away, and the women followed closely and rushed over.

The city was in a mess and looked dangerous. Looking at the soldiers and horses that continued to attack the city wall, Gao Xiuyan breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that the number of soldiers and horses defending the city is insufficient, and I don't know where so many soldiers and horses of the Shence Army have gone. For so many days, the soldiers and horses in Tongzhou City have not increased at all, and the Shence army in the upper and lower state capitals will not be reinforced in the future, I don't know what it is for. Perhaps Wang Yuan was too confident that he could withstand the frantic attack of his own army. But he clearly underestimated the determination of the army to attack the city, and now it was his turn to taste the bitter fruit of his arrogance. As a rule of thumb, once the walls are breached, there is a stalemate. A large number of people can win the game, and it is only a matter of time before Tongzhou City is won.

On the city tower, Wang Yuan looked at the situation up and down the city wall, and finally turned to Liu Jun, who was standing behind him with an anxious expression, and said, "Liu Jun, it's your turn." ”

Liu Jun's eyes flashed with excitement, and he swallowed and spitted: "Father-in-law, you wait to see a good show." ”
