Pang Zhong also carefully observed the speed and frequency of rebel attacks to determine the speed and frequency of the sergeant's firing.

When the number of rebels attacking decreased, he ordered the sergeants to slow down their firing speed so that the soldiers' physical strength could be temporarily adjusted. When the rebels attacked more people, they accelerated the shooting speed. At the beginning, the rebels attacked in waves.

The nature of the tests was the same after each wave, and the firing frequency of Pang Zhong's troops also adjusted with the rise and fall of the rebel attacks.

At this point, he is more experienced than Lee Ford, and his sergeants have better physical strength than Lee Ford.

Pang Zhong and his bodyguards, who were standing on the ruined city gate tower directing the battle, were not idle. They opened their bows and arrows and shot at the array of rebels swarming below the city.

Pang Zhong was a tiger general who had experienced many battles. Before guarding Tongguan, he followed Gao Xianguan to fight everywhere and held the position of General Youwuwei. His position as General Youwuwei was based on his own military camp.

In previous battles, he was very defeated, so his official career was prosperous.

But he rarely suffered defeats after following Ge Shuhan out of Tongguan to fight, but he suffered a disastrous defeat. The 100,000 troops he led were not organized to fight well, so they were ambushed by the rebels and defeated with fire attacks. After being unable to control

In the defeat, he could only lead a group of troops to break out under the protection of his personal guards.

This is a great shame and humiliation for him, which he will never forget!

Facing the crazy attack of the rebels under the city, he wanted to use the arrows in his hands to vent his anger and save a little bit of his face.

His shooting can be said to be accurate. Each arrow will definitely hit a rebel sergeant. The rebel sergeant he shoots will either die or be seriously injured.

"General, you have killed ten rebels and wounded eighteen!" One of his personal guards reported the results in a low voice after Pang Zhong shot all two pots of arrows.

Pang Zhong's personal results were brilliant, but they were just shots he shot to vent his anger.

After shooting all the arrows in the quiver, he stopped shooting and carefully observed the progress of the battle.

In the process of careful observation, he also discovered the pattern of rebel attacks, that is, each wave of attacks was carried out by hundreds of people, and was very scattered, coming one wave after another. Pang Zhong immediately understood that the rebels were attacking.

The army wanted to use this attack method to consume our army's arrows and the strength of the sergeants on the city, paving the way for the final large-scale siege operation.

He also immediately made other arrangements!

Pang Zhong was very experienced and knew that he could not win the final victory without taking some extraordinary measures against the rebels who had a numerical advantage!

He is more experienced than Lee Ford in formulating strategies!

There are many people more experienced than Li Fudou, and Cui Qianyou, who commanded the siege, is one of them!

"Report to the deputy commander, the Tang army's arrows are very dense, and our army suffered heavy casualties!"

According to reports, on a hillside about two miles away from Tongguan City in Han Dynasty, Cui Qianyou, who was commanding the front army, was riding a horse, observing the fighting situation in front of Tongguan City in Han Dynasty. A sergeant who had an arrow in his arm and was bleeding profusely rode away quickly.

Come and report the situation to him.

Cui Qianyou didn't reply, just nodded slightly. He had seen the first wave of attacks just now. The attack teams of more than 500 people in each direction now only have less than 200 people left. The two directions were almost the same, and Tang Jun

Only three rounds of arrows were fired. In other words, the Tang army fired more than 5,000 arrows in three rounds, which killed almost 500 soldiers. The lethality of the Tang army's arrows was not ordinary.

Of course Cui Ganyou knew that this situation was inevitable. He knew that when attacking Tongguan City, he could only use the life of the sergeant to fill the gap. He even hoped to use the life of the sergeant in exchange for the defenders on the city to shoot all the arrows and gain strength. Only then can the siege sergeants make an effective counterattack and finally board the city!

The Tang army always ran out of strength and arrows. This was the time when they had a chance to fight back.

Therefore, he could only grit his teeth and give the order, letting the following sergeants continue to rush forward and wait for opportunities to fight back!

The order was passed down quickly by the sergeant. Cui Qianyou continued to stand on the hillside watching the battle. He was also cursing Tongguan. If the terrain of Tongguan City was not so steep, he believed that the battle situation at this time would be completely different. His subordinates There must be many sergeants who have climbed the ladder to climb the city. But now, there are only a handful of sergeants who can rush to the city wall. Even if someone is lucky enough to rush to the city wall, they will be shot and killed immediately by the Tang army on the wall. The soldiers led by The ladders were also thrown in various directions in front of Tongguan City, and none of them stood on the city wall.

He has tens of thousands of soldiers under his command, but now there are only a few thousand who can attack the city from several directions. The rest cannot rush up, because the terrain is too narrow. Of course, this is also his helpless feeling. If he can attack the city in several directions, If more troops are deployed under Tongguan City, it will not happen that nearly 100,000 troops have been attacking for nearly six months and are still looking forward to the victory. Maybe Chang'an has been captured long ago, let alone Tongguan.

After several months of attacking Tongguan to no avail, generals An Qingxu, Cui Qianyou, Tian Sizhen and other generals, when discussing the siege strategy, formulated an impossible method, which was to use hundreds or thousands of troops to attack Tongguan continuously without interruption. Attack the city from the ground, in order to consume the physical strength of the Tang army sergeants on the city top, consume the arrows on the city head, and find the opportunity to board the city.

In the continuous siege operations before the Battle of Lingbao, Cui Qianyou, who commanded the front army, adopted this method, but it had no effect. Because there were too many arrows stored in Tongguan City, and they were coming from the direction of Chang'an. They were constantly brought in, and the number of Tang Army sergeants defending Tongguan City was very large, and they could be continuously replenished and rotated. The final result was that the six months of hard work failed.

In the end, by showing weakness, he successfully lured Ge Shuhan out of the city to fight, and severely damaged the Tang army in Lingbao.

After the victory of Lingbao, both An Qingxu, Cui Qianyou and Tian Sizhen thought that the defenders of Tongguan had no fighting spirit. As long as their army marched to the city, the Tang army would flee in a swarm without opening the city gate and surrender. However, they did not expect that they would still encounter the same thing as before. resistance.

However, Cui Qianyou's thoughts in his heart were very different from before. He knew that the number of defenders in Tongguan City was definitely insufficient, very insufficient, and could not withstand the consumption. Attack, the defenders on top of the city cannot defend Tongguan City. He used the corpses of the sergeants to consume the physical strength of the Tang army soldiers on the top of Guancheng, and used the corpses of his men and horses as ladders!

Therefore, Cui Qianyou also ordered a continuous attack regardless of casualties, using the human sea tactic. If there is anyone who is afraid of fighting and can't fight, he will be killed without mercy!
