Yang Xi finished arranging all the defenses, and ignored Chen Xuanli and other generals who had just arrived, and went up to the city gate. Chen Xuanli, who felt that he had been given a cold reception but could not say anything to complain, and the generals under his command hesitated for a moment and followed Yang Xi to the city tower.

The war is coming, and they don't dare to make any troubles at a very moment, if they say or do anything against Yang Xi, Yang Xi, who holds the "Shang Fang Sword", will not be blamed by the emperor if they are beheaded in public.

Previously, Huo Ba Guiren and Bian Lingcheng had been beheaded by Yang Xi, and they didn't want to become the third high-ranking general to be beheaded in public.

Just when Chen Xuanli and other generals followed Yang Xi to the city gate tower, the rebels had already charged to the east edge of the forbidden ditch, and countless bamboo and wooden platoons came with the impact of the rebels, and even blocked their vision for a while, and they couldn't see how many men and horses were charging behind the bamboo and wooden platoons. Just as the sand and dust carried by the rebels were rolling to the eastern edge of the forbidden ditch, the generals commanding the city had already ordered the sergeants to start shooting in turn.

But the poor effect of the shooting is far beyond the surprise of the generals of the Tang Army, because the arrows flew to the east edge of the forbidden ditch has almost become the "end of the strong crossbow", the strength of the loss of most of the half, is in the process of falling, several rebels together to hold the bamboo, wooden row into a very good "shield", and is a super large shield, many arrows have been blocked by the bamboo and wood row, the effect of shooting is far less than yesterday when the rebels began to attack the city.

Yesterday, when the rebels attacked the city, the effect of shooting was almost like cutting straw, and the rebels attacked very hard, but today the situation has completely changed, only a few rebels were shot to the ground, and a large number of rebels rushed to the edge of the forbidden ditch, and countless bamboo and wooden rafts were thrown into the forbidden ditch, and the forbidden ditch was quickly filled up. The charging rebels were shot dead and wounded in large numbers only after throwing down bamboo and wooden rafts.

However, the sergeants who were carrying bamboo and wooden platoons soon rushed up again. The rebels were not in a dense formation when they began to charge with bamboo and wooden platoons, and their initial purpose was to fill in the forbidden ditch and pave the way for the subsequent dense charge.

Under normal circumstances, it is four to five sergeants who charge with a bamboo or wooden raft, they rush to the forbidden ditch, throw the bamboo and wooden rafts into the forbidden ditch, and immediately retreat or directly rush down the forbidden ditch to make way for the sergeants who will charge again with bamboo and wooden platoons.

The effect of this attack method is quite obvious, a large number of bamboo and wooden rafts are thrown into the ditch, filling in the forbidden ditch, but its own damage is not high.

This surprised Chen Xuanli and others, they did not expect that when the rebels began to attack the city, they would use bamboo and wooden rafts to pave the road and fill the forbidden ditch.

The rebels filled the forbidden ditch with a wide row of bamboos and wood, and no one could guess what they were going to do next. As long as the forbidden ditch is filled, the battle behind will be very cruel, and the city of Tongguan will become a bloody slaughterhouse, and no one can predict what the final battle will be.

But at this time, Yang Xi was still standing on the city gate tower very calmly, without the slightest fear and nervousness about the rebels attacking the city like this, and he looked confident, which made Chen Xuanli even more surprised. Yang Xi, Yang Guozhong, who is only seventeen years old, when did he become so calm and resolute, as if he was a general who had commanded countless battles. The generals under his command, Wang Sili and Pang Zhong, actually obeyed him, you must know that not long ago, Wang Sili and Pang Zhong also suggested that Ge Shuhan rob and kill Yang Guozhong! Incomprehensible, huh?

However, the battle outside the city became more and more intense, so Chen Xuanli and others focused their attention on the battle outside the city.

More bamboo rafts were thrown into the ditch, and a long section of the ditch was soon gradually raised until it was almost flush with the eastern edge.

In this process, although the Tang army at the head of the city was shooting in turns, the striking effect of the arrows was not good, and the number of rebel sergeants who were shot dead and killed was not large, and thousands of pieces of bamboo and wooden rafts were thrown into the forbidden ditch.

"A brutal bloody battle is about to begin!" This is Chen Xuanli's emotion after seeing the forbidden ditch slowly being filled.

He also wanted to see what countermeasures Yang Xi would take after the rebels attacked the city on a large scale.

But Yang Xi did not give any new orders, and the number of arrows shot from the city did not increase, and the interval between rounds did not decrease.

Cui Qianyou, who commanded the siege battle, couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw that the forbidden ditch had been filled so easily.

But I was also annoyed for a while, why didn't I take this strategy during the siege yesterday!

If he had acted like this yesterday and today, he might have captured Tongguan, and the lives of the more than 10,000 sergeants would not have been lost in vain.

After receiving a report from the sergeant that the forbidden ditch for nearly a mile had been basically filled, and the sergeant could directly cross the forbidden ditch to attack the city, Cui Qianyou also immediately ordered to attack the city with all his might.

With Cui Qianyou's order, nearly 20,000 sergeants who had lined up to prepare for the ground, under the urging of war drums, let out an earth-shattering howl, and rushed towards the direction of the forbidden ditch like a tide. The sergeants in the front row were still holding bamboo and wooden rows, and the bamboo and wooden platoons with a larger range of coverage could resist the arrows of the Tang army to a certain extent, so as to prevent the sergeants charging in the front row from being shot over by the arrows on the city.

After rushing to the east edge of the forbidden ditch, the sergeant holding the bamboo and wooden raft charged forward with the bamboo and wooden raft in front of the other bamboo and wooden rafts in the forbidden ditch, filled in some uneven places, and then held the shield and crossed the cover to rush down the city.

At this time, the arrows shot by the Tang army at the head of the city began to become dense, and tens of thousands of arrows took turns to shoot at the heads of the rebels.

The sergeant, who was fortunate enough not to be shot and charged afterward, continued to ramble on the corpse of his companion.

After the first wave of 20,000 rebels charged intensively, the follow-up rebel sergeants did not pause, and followed the onslaught, and the momentum was even greater.

When the rebels rushed into the forbidden ditch on a large scale and began to climb the western edge of the forbidden ditch, preparing to return the ladder to the Tongguan city wall, Yang Xi on the city gate tower issued a new order.

With the issuance of Yang Xixin's order, the hay that had been piled up on the city gate tower was thrown very intensively into the forbidden ditch under the city under the combined force of the speculation and the sergeants, and the hot oil was immediately thrown out by the speculation and a large number of them. After a certain amount of hay and hot oil was thrown out, countless rockets shot out at the hay that fell densely on the heads of the rebels in the forbidden ditch.

As the rocket fell, the hay was immediately set on fire.

The subsequent hay and hot oil continued to be thrown out, and soon a raging fire broke out in the forbidden ditch, and quickly ignited the bamboo and wooden rafts used by the rebels to pave the forbidden ditch, and the rebel sergeants who densely charged into the forbidden ditch were caught in the fire in only a moment.

This situation stunned Chen Xuanli, who was watching the battle from the city gate, and other generals who had just arrived with reinforcements.

No one expected that the situation on the battlefield would change in this way, and the forbidden ditch that was raging by the flood yesterday became a "fire ditch", and the raging fire was scorching the Tang army sergeants in the city while devouring the lives of a large number of rebel sergeants.

Just when the rebel sergeants on the east side of the forbidden ditch fell into chaos because of the increasingly burning fire, and the situation was close to getting out of control, the suspension bridge in the direction of the south gate was quickly lowered, and the south gate of Tongguan, which had been closed, was opened, and Wang Sili rushed out with three thousand elite sergeants shouting loudly!
