This was a situation that none of the rebels besieging the city had ever imagined, and no one would have expected that the Tang army would destroy a large section of the stairs down the city, or pour oil on it, and it would be fatally slippery. Hundreds of sergeants from several directions fell to the city, killing or seriously wounding.

The fog made the sergeants look sideways, and if it weren't for it, things might have been better.

After hearing that the Tang army might have fled and there were no guards at the head of the city, Li Qian and Cheng Wei also rushed to the head of the city with their own soldiers, and after knowing this situation, they cursed. Now they knew perfectly well that the Tang army, after being confused by some straw men or wooden figures, had evacuated at night, leaving an empty city to them. Before the Tang army evacuated, they destroyed the Hantong Pass and arranged some means, such as piling up wood or stones on the battlements, and when they climbed the city on a ladder, they encountered stones or sassalwood piled up together, and the stones or sassalwood rolled down by the height difference of the city led to hundreds of casualties among the sergeants.

The Tang army's sabotage of the steps and horse roads in the lower city also caused hundreds of casualties among the sergeants.

This made Li Qian and Cheng Wei, who commanded the city, thunderous.

In the face of an empty city, there is not a single living person who resists, how can they not be angry and die if they have suffered such a large number of casualties.

However, now is not the time to scold people, both Li Qian and Cheng Wei know that the most important thing now is to open the gate of Tongguan, and put the soldiers who will continue to pour into the city, and reach the city of Suitong Pass through Hantong Pass, and launch an attack on Suitong Pass.

The stairs and horse paths were destroyed and poured oil, and the two lieutenants who commanded the battle to the castle immediately ordered the sergeants to go down to the bottom of the castle by means of ropes and open the gates in one step. But what neither Li Qian nor Cheng Wei knew was that the Hantong Pass, which they thought they could easily occupy immediately, was full of organs, which brought great trouble to them who were about to enter the city.

The sun had risen over the horizon, the fog had cleared slightly, and the sergeants who had descended to the bottom of the city could see the situation in the distance, and they immediately ran in the direction of the city gates. But the sergeant, who was anxious to find the gate of the city, screamed one after another, either cut by a blade on the ground, or struck by a sharp weapon or wood hanging over his head.

Many of the things they hit were unnoticeable, and they couldn't even see them when they ran past, but they did. As one of the core defensive areas of the entire Tongguan City, whether it is Hantong Guancheng or Suitong Guancheng, there must be many traps in the city, if you are not familiar with the situation inside, you are likely to be hit. The traps encountered by these sergeants were rudimentary.

Finally, some of the more fortunate sergeants ran to the gate and prepared to rush over and open the gate.

But there were a lot of hay piles in the direction of the gate hole in the city, and there were large vats on the side of the hay. The sergeants, seeing this, immediately rushed forward and spread the hay piled up in front of the gate hole, but to their surprise, there was still a lot of dirt under the hay.

In order to rush to the gate to open the gate, the dirt must be removed.

The sergeants who rushed to the edge of the city gate also hurriedly looked for tools and started in full swing. Fortunately, several generals at the head of the city who commanded the battle received the situation and lowered the hundreds of sergeants with ropes. The sergeants also rushed to join in the work of clearing the dirt. But no one noticed that the barrels had begun to leak, and the contents had been draining into the haystacks that they had thrown haphazardly, and the soldiers were now thinking of clearing the dirt near the gate so that they could enter and open the gates, so that the men and horses waiting outside could rush in.

Fortunately, there were a lot of oil lamps and candles lit in and around the city gate, otherwise they would not have been able to see the situation clearly, and the progress of their work would have been affected.

The earth near several gates was cleared quickly, and in a short time it was ready for people to enter and exit, and immediately a sergeant rushed into the gate to open the gate, while the other sergeants continued to clean up to make it easier for people to enter and exit.

Li Gui is a general under Cheng Wei, he is a native of Fanyang, and he was also recruited into the army by An Lushan in Fanyang, because of his bravery, he made a lot of military achievements, and was promoted to captain. This time, he followed Zhong Lang, who was also from the Fan Yang clan, to kill Cheng Wei to Luoyang, and then to Tongguan, and then made military merits, and was promoted to Lang General, and the original Lang General Cheng Wei was promoted to Zhonglang General. They are looking forward to making another military exploit in order to get a greater promotion.

Li Gui was a cautious person, and when a group of sergeants rushed to the city to open the city gate just now, he didn't rush to it, because he suspected that there was fraud in it.

Sure enough, the Tang army did something in the city, and many sergeants who were vying for meritorious service were killed or seriously wounded.

However, after this situation, everyone has already decided that the Tang army has abandoned the city and fled, but did something before escaping, when Cheng Wei ordered the soldiers to be hung under the city with ropes, and opened the city gate for the large group of people to enter and exit, Li Gui, who felt that he could take advantage of this to make meritorious contributions, volunteered to lead his soldiers to the city to open the east gate of Tongguan for the army. As a fellow countryman, Cheng Wei of course agreed.

Li Gui also quickly led dozens of his subordinates to sneak to the bottom of the city, and indeed did not meet the arrival, and was a little more clever than others, fortunately avoided some small mechanisms, and after commanding his sergeants to clean up the mud on the edge of the city gate hole, he finally ran to the city gate with a number of sergeants.

"Brothers, let's open the gates together!" Li Gui ordered his companion loudly.

It was very dark in the city gate cave, although there were some oil lamps and candles hanging above his head, but the situation inside was still not clear, Li Gui could feel that there seemed to be water flowing near the city gate cave when he groped forward, and it was a little sticky when he stepped in. But now it's too late to think too much, the Tang army has abandoned the city and fled, and the Hantong Pass City has become an empty city, open the city gates, let in the companions outside the city, and everything is fine.

Under Li Gui's order, more than a dozen sergeants ran to the city gate and carried the thick gate latch together, preparing to work together to open the heavy city gate.

But just when they worked together to lift the city gate latch, they didn't expect the situation to happen, the tall and heavy city gate actually fell, and Li Gui and his companions didn't have time to react, so they were pressed under the gate together.

After letting out a painful scream, Li Gui, whose internal organs were squeezed out, died with a whimper. Before he died, he couldn't have imagined that he had been careful again and again, and he didn't want to die because of the competition for military merit, but in the end he died in the competition for military merit.

The city gate fell, but of course the gate was open, and the rebel brigade waiting outside the city gate immediately rushed in through the city gate and trampled through the city gate that had collapsed inside the city gate. Poor Li Gui and his companions were pressed under the city gate, and their flesh and blood were already blurred, and all their internal organs flowed out, but they didn't expect that because of the trampling of their companions, they all turned into a pile of flesh, and blood and water blended with each other.

But whether it was the dead Li Gui or the other sergeants who were alive, another situation happened again!
