For the defense of the city, both Wang Sili and Tian Liangqiu are very experienced.

The rebels' attack on Tongguan City has lasted for about six months, and the city attack and defense battles that occurred during this period are at least hundreds of times, it can be said that most of the generals in Tongguan City have commanded the battle to counterattack the rebel siege, even if they have no combat experience in this area before, they have been very experienced after a few months, not to mention that these generals are all from the army, many generals like Wang Sili, Pang Zhong, etc. are in Anxi or Longyou, and they are stepping on the corpses of countless sergeants to get promoted step by step, and the combat experience is very rich. There is no difference in the number of rebel generals attacking the city, no matter what kind of formation the rebels make, they can respond according to the actual situation.

The rebels' attacks began in dense formations, not in batches and intermittently, but continuously. The generals such as Ge Shuhan, Wang Sili, and Tian Qiuliang, who commanded the battle at the head of the city, immediately judged from the way the rebels began to attack that the rebels were eager to attack the head of the Sui Tong Pass, and they no longer used the method of attacking in batches with a small number of troops to consume the physical strength and arrows of the soldiers at the head of the city, but wanted to rely on the absolute superiority in the number of troops, drag down the physical strength of the defenders with continuous attacks, and capture the head of the Sui Tong Pass at any cost.

Presumably, the rebels also know that reinforcements from Chang'an have arrived in Tongguan, and there are follow-up reinforcements coming over continuously. There are reinforcements coming, it is a very unfavorable situation for the rebels, they came with Lingbao's great victory over the army, they just want to take advantage of the reinforcements of the brigade has not arrived in Tongguan, all the Tongguan City will be captured in one go, they want to fight quickly.

According to the rebel generals captured in the ambush yesterday, An Lushan has led 180,000 horses and horses to quickly reinforce him, and the rebels must have planned to capture Tongguan City at any cost, and after capturing Tongguan City, Chang'an City will be taken.

Whether it is An Qingxu or An Lushan, they are determined to win Tongguan and Chang'an, regardless of any losses.

Knowing this, any Tang Army general who commanded the operation had a heavy heart, and they knew that the next battle would be very difficult to fight.

However, the rebels had just begun to attack the city, and the main generals such as Ge Shuhan, Wang Sili, and Tian Liangqiu were not very worried, they knew that the attack that the rebels had started could easily be repulsed. Ge Shuhan sat very calmly on the tower of the city gate and watched the battle, Wang Sili, Tian Liangqiu and several other major generals commanded at the head of the city, and everyone was very calm.

"The archers start shooting!" Wang Sili's order was not issued in the form of an angry roar, but only spoke a little louder than usual. With his order, more than 1,000 sergeants raised their bows above their heads, and then under a very powerful "release" order, the sound of arrows breaking through the air spread in the city, and more than 1,000 arrows intertwined into a rain of arrows, flying towards the heads of the rebel sergeants who had rushed to the bottom of the forbidden ditch and were ready to climb the western edge of the forbidden ditch and those who were still rushing towards the forbidden ditch.

The few shields were raised, ready to shield the falling arrows, but many of the rebel sergeants had no chance to raise their shields to defend themselves, they were either shouting and rushing into the ditch, or they were keeping their heads down to watch out for the rocky stones in the ditch, and some were setting up ladders to climb, and they didn't even pay attention to the arrows falling. The rebel sergeants stood in a dense position and did not have enough shields to cover them, which allowed the arrows fired by the Tang army to exert almost the greatest lethality, and with a burst of screams, many sergeants were shot by the arrows and fell in the forbidden ditch. The sergeants who were rushing into the forbidden ditch from the east edge were hit by arrows, and they directly flipped down one by one.

The lethality of arrows is actually not very large, far from being comparable with guns and bullets in the era of hot weapons, as long as you don't hit the vital point, you will basically not be killed with one arrow. Those who were unfortunate enough to be killed by a single arrow were almost always shot to the point.

However, the forbidden ditch was very deep, and some of the sergeants who fell from the arrows were brutally thrown to death.

Zhao Long was a lieutenant under the command of Feng Changqing, but when he followed Feng Changqing to defend Luoyang, Tokyo, he was defeated and captured, and then surrendered to the rebels.

After being promoted and rewarded, Zhao Long naturally worked hard for the rebels, and hoped for further promotions and more rewards. His mind is the same as that of many sergeants, to be a soldier is to fight, to get a reward, and there is no difference between who fights under him, if the Tang army wins and captures them, they may turn around and become the Tang army again, and shoot deadly arrows at the "Dayan" army that they once loyal.

This is the common characteristic of soldiers in this era, and during the civil war, a large number of sergeants will surrender, and even surrender many times, like grass on the wall. Even in foreign wars, after defeat, groups of sergeants surrender to the other side, and they can fight for the other side immediately after surrendering.

Zhao Long had quite a lot of combat experience, and when he heard the sound of arrows breaking through the air and saw the arrows flying quickly towards the forbidden ditch, he immediately raised the shield in his hand, shrunk his body, and shot under a rock. His dodging maneuvers in a hurry allowed him to successfully dodge the first round of arrows from the Tang Army.

Just as he was rejoicing, the second round of arrows of the Tang Army broke through the air again, and Zhao Long, who had just stood up to see the movement, was touched by a companion who fell from the rock wall, and the shield in his hand could not be held, and fell under him, and the person also staggered. The tragedy happened at this time, the second round of arrows of the Tang army fell quickly, and the two arrows hit Zhao Long.

One arrow landed in his arm, and another shot into his soft abdomen, which happened to hit the large blood vessels in his abdomen.

He only felt a chill spread from his abdomen to his back, and then a very powerful stream of heat gushed out from the place where the arrow entered, and then the strength of his whole body seemed to be withdrawn, and the war knife in his hand could no longer be held, and fell to the ground with a bang, and then his body fell forward softly. After the body fell, almost all of the arrows that had been fired in half were pushed into the body, and the arrows peeked through the back.

Zhao Long let out a terrible scream again, blood gushed out from both sides of his abdomen and back like a spring, and the boss who had two originally small eyes was open, only to see that the clouds of the half day were turning rapidly, and the Tongguan City in front of him also quickly fell down, turning into a city wall facing down, and the peaks of Huashan Mountain near the city wall also became head-down. Then a white floating color fluttered in front of him, and his body became lighter, and he flew up, and entered a narrow passage, and then his eyes were full of light, and then he knew nothing!
