Because of his physical disability, Ge Shuhan has been watching and commanding the battle from the city gate tower, and he has not had the opportunity to join the battle group in person, even if he is not physically disabled and can move freely, it is impossible for him to personally go into battle to kill the enemy.

At this point, he is far inferior to Feng Changqing and Gao Xianzhi, who were beheaded by the imperial court a few months ago.

However, at this time, he was eager to go into battle to kill the enemy himself, because the situation in the city was too unoptimistic.

Dense ladders were erected at the head of the city, and some rebel sergeants who had gone up to the ladder in advance jumped directly from the city, and as soon as the ladder was erected, the rebel sergeants under the city began to climb the city quickly. Although all the rebel sergeants who jumped out of the city were killed, and most of the ladders were knocked down when the rebel sergeants began to climb, there were still many rebel sergeants who climbed up through the ladders, and the archers who shot at the top of the city could only destroy the rebels who climbed the city first, and the shooting intensity of the rebels who continued to attack was much smaller, so that more rebel sergeants gathered under the city.

The offensive and defensive battles on the city became more and more intense, and the advantage on the battlefield was slowly lost from the side of the Tang army and transferred to the rebels.

Anyone who is worried about the safety of Tongguan wants to go into battle to kill the enemy at this time, even Ge Shuhan is no exception.

But he could only look at the battlefield and sigh, but he didn't have the ability to fight in person.

However, Yang Xi was very calm, he and his three hundred guards and three hundred sergeants did not continue to rush up, but stood quietly under the city gate to watch the battle. Yang Xi, who was standing at the bottom of the city gate, knew that it was not the time for him to go into battle in person, and he had to give orders calmly, and he must not throw all his troops into it because of a momentary impulse, so that there was no way to rescue when there was real danger.

Yang Xi's calmness also soothed the morale of the army, especially Wang Sili and other major generals. Their commander was still able to maintain such calmness, and there were still six hundred sergeants in preparation, who could be replenished at any time to the most critical places, which eased their anxious hearts a little, and their advance and retreat were more moderate, and the arrows fired at the city were again dense, and the sergeants stepped forward in an orderly manner to resist the arrival of the rebels. Unconsciously, they have regarded Yang Xi as the backbone, commanding and dispatching the supreme commander of the entire battlefield, the commander is not panicked, and they are also a lot calmer.

However, the rebels' attacks intensified again, and in the earth-shattering roar, the more dense rebel sergeants carried the ladders across the forbidden ditch and charged down the city, and the ladders to the city were erected more and more, and the sergeants at the head of the city had no time to push. This is after Cui Qianyou's new order was issued, the rebels almost further intensified the intensity and density of their attacks, just to take advantage of the chaos of the Tang army at the head of the city to attack the head of the city in one fell swoop.

More and more rebel sergeants crossed the ditch and rushed under the walls on the west side of the ditch, using any flat terrain to erect ladders and ascend the city on a larger scale. The ladders in the rebel army are very well prepared, there are many trees in the Huashan area, it is very convenient to make ladders from local materials, Cui Qianyou's front army has about more than 2,000 ladders, and the ladders in the entire army are estimated to have more than 4,000.

The ladders are very strong, and they will not break if they are pushed down, and the sergeant may not be able to get up and fight again if he falls, but the ladder can be used again. This also made the ladders in the direction of the south gate of Tongguan more and more, very dense, and more and more rebel sergeants began to enter the city, making the Tang army at the head of the city a little tired to cope.

There are more and more rebels under the city wall, and there are more and more arrows shot from the city to the city, although because of the influence of wind and rain, most of the arrows cannot fall to the city, and even the soldiers who climb the city will be injured by mistake, but there are still some that float to the city and cause damage to the Tang army defending the city.

The fog in the forbidden ditch was thick and faint, and when the wind blew, the fog was blown away, revealing its true face.

The situation in the forbidden ditch still worried Yang Xi at the head of the city, but the rebels continued to cross the forbidden ditch through the bridge made of those corpses, rushed to the city wall, and densely entered the city.

"Why hasn't the damn rain stopped?" Yang Xi looked up at the sky and muttered to himself at the rain curtain in the sky.

He didn't know how long the rain had been falling, it felt like a century was long, and every moment he was hoping that the rain would stop sooner, or that it would go away as soon as possible.

If it weren't for this rain, he believed that he could lead his army to hold out until dark until reinforcements arrived, but now, he was not very confident!

The rebels' siege operations are getting frantic, and reinforcements don't know when they will arrive. The heavy rain also greatly affected the speed of the reinforcements, and Yang Xi knew this. It was expected to arrive before dark, but now it seems that it is impossible to reach Tongguan before dark.

In Yang Xi's hope, the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and there was no sign of stopping.

This is a veritable heavy rainstorm, the mountain peaks near Tongguan, there are many waterfalls, the head of Tongguan City is also full of water, and the city wall is full of water curtains.

The effectiveness of the bow and arrow has dropped dramatically again, and the rolling stone wood on the head of the city has been almost used, and these sharp weapons against the enemy have lost their effective damage, and they can only rely on the swords in the hands of the sergeant to block the rebels' siege. There were more and more rebel sergeants rushing to the city, although the rebel sergeants who came out of the city were cut down, but this also led to the difficulty of defending the city, the casualties increased, and even the sergeants retreated timidly.

But he still held back stubbornly, and only ordered Wang Sili, Tian Liangqiu, Pang Zhong, Li Fude and other generals who were in command of the battle not to retreat in the slightest, and they must not let the rebels ascend to the top of the city.

A gust of wind blew, and all the fog in the city head and the forbidden ditch was blown away, and the rain that was originally falling very quickly suddenly stopped, and Yang Xi's vision was temporarily clear. He saw that the nearby mountains were full of waterfalls, large and small, and the water in the forbidden ditch was getting bigger and bigger, and the water overflowing out of the ditch was very turbulent, and the sergeants who crossed the forbidden ditch through the bridge made of corpses were often swept away by the heavy water. However, more and more soldiers rushed to the west edge of the forbidden ditch, and the very dense ladders were erected to the top of the city, and the soldiers on the head of the city had no time to push away, and more and more rebels emerged from the city.

"Brothers, follow Ben Shuai into battle to kill the enemy!" Yang Xi finally couldn't help it, drew his battle knife, and prepared to go into battle in person.

But at this moment, there was a continuous earth-shattering sound outside the city, and Yang Xi, who was about to rush to the city to kill the enemy, was startled by the loud sound. Looking at the sound, Yang Xi immediately knew where the voice was coming from.

However, the scene he saw was not frightening, but made Yang Xi happy!

"God help me!" These are the words that Yang Xi couldn't help but shout after seeing the situation clearly!
