This situation was something that no one among the rebels attacking the city had ever imagined. No one expected that the Tang army would destroy a large section of the stairs in the lower city, or make them slippery with oil. There were hundreds of people in several directions.

As a result, many soldiers fell into the city and were killed or seriously injured.

The heavy fog made the sergeants close their eyes. If there was no heavy fog, the situation might be better.

After hearing that the Tang army might have escaped and that there were no sergeants guarding the city, Li Qian and Cheng Wei also rushed to the city with their soldiers. After learning about this situation, they started to curse. Now they were completely

It is clear that after the Tang army was deceived by some straw men or wooden men, they evacuated at night, leaving an empty city to them. Before the Tang army evacuated, they destroyed Tongguan City in the Han Dynasty and deployed some means, such as using mulberry trees.

Or the stones were piled on the battlements. When they climbed the ladder to the city, they encountered the stacked stones or wood. The stones or wood rolled down due to the height difference in the city, causing hundreds of casualties among the soldiers.

The Tang army's destruction and fueling of the stairs and horse paths in the lower city also caused hundreds of casualties among the soldiers.

This made both Li Qian and Cheng Wei, who were commanding the assault on the city, furious.

Facing an empty city with no living person to resist, they suffered such heavy casualties. How could they not be angry to death?

But now is no longer the time to curse and be angry. Both Li Qian and Cheng Wei know that the most important thing now is to open the Tongguan City Gate, let the continuous influx of sergeants into the city, and pass through Han Tongguan City to Sui Tongguan City.

Launched an attack on Tongguan City in Sui Dynasty.

The stairs and horse paths were destroyed and fueled. The two lieutenants who commanded the battle to climb the city immediately ordered the sergeants to use the rope to descend to the bottom of the city and open the city gate in one step. But what neither Li Qian nor Cheng Wei knew was that

, they thought they could easily capture Hantongguan City right away, but it was full of traps, which caused great trouble to them who were preparing to enter the city.

The sun has risen from the horizon, and the fog has dispersed slightly. The sergeants who went down to the bottom of the city can clearly see the situation in the distance, and they immediately rush to the direction of the city gate. But they are anxious to find the sergeant who opens the city gate.

But there were screams one after another, and they were either cut by the blade on the ground, or hit by a sharp weapon or wood hanging above their head.

Many of the things they bumped into were not noticed at all. They couldn't even see them when they ran past, but they bumped into them. As one of the core defensive areas of the entire Tongguan City, whether it is Han Tongguan City or Suitongguan City, the city

There must be many traps set up. If you are not familiar with the situation inside, you may fall into one. The traps encountered by these sergeants are still preliminary.

Finally, some luckier soldiers ran to the city gate, ready to rush over and open the city gate.

But there were a lot of hay piled in the direction of the city gate, and there were large barrels beside the hay. The sergeants who saw this immediately rushed forward and spread the hay piled in front of the city gate, but they were surprised.

Yes, there is still a lot of soil under the hay.

To rush to the city gate and open the city gate, the soil must be removed.

The sergeants who rushed to the city gate also hurriedly found tools and started fucking in full swing. Fortunately, several generals commanding the battle at the top of the city heard the situation and lowered hundreds of sergeants with ropes. These sergeants also hurriedly joined in.

The work of cleaning up the soil. But no one discovered that the barrels had begun to leak, and the liquid inside flowed into the haystacks they had thrown carelessly. What the sergeants wanted most now was to clean up the soil near the city gate.

In order to be able to enter and open the city gate, the people waiting outside can rush in.

Fortunately, there were many oil lamps and candles lit in and around the city gate, otherwise they would not be able to see clearly and their work progress would be affected.

The soil near several city gates was cleared very quickly, and people could enter and exit in a short time. Immediately, sergeants rushed into the city gates, preparing to open the gates, while other sergeants continued to clean up to make it easier for people and horses to move in.

In and out.

Li Gui was a general under Cheng Wei. He was from Fanyang. He was also recruited into the army by An Lushan in Fanyang. Because of his bravery in battle and many military exploits, he was promoted to captain. This time he followed the same general.

Fan Yangren's Zhonglang general Cheng Wei was killed in Luoyang, and then came to Tongguan. He made military exploits again and was promoted to Lang general. The original Lang general Cheng Wei was promoted to Zhonglang general. They were looking forward to making military exploits again in order to achieve success.

Get a bigger promotion.

Li Gui is a cautious person. When a group of sergeants rushed to the city to open the city gate just now, he did not rush to do it because he suspected that there was fraud.

As expected, the Tang army had tampered with the city, and many of the soldiers who were vying to make meritorious deeds were killed or seriously injured.

However, after this situation, everyone had concluded that the Tang army had abandoned the city and fled, but had only done some tricks before escaping. Cheng Wei ordered the soldiers to be hung with ropes to the bottom of the city, and the city gates were opened to allow large groups of people to enter and exit.

At that time, Li Gui, who felt that he could take advantage of this opportunity to make another meritorious deed, volunteered and asked to lead his soldiers to the city and open the east gate of Tongguan for the army. As a fellow villager, Cheng Wei of course agreed.

Li Gui also quickly led dozens of his men to sneak to the bottom of the city. He did not encounter any arrivals. He was a little more clever than others and luckily avoided some small traps. He commanded his sergeants to clean up the city gate.

After getting rid of the dirt, he finally ran to the city gate with many soldiers.

"Brothers, let's work together to open the city gate!" Li Gui ordered his companions loudly.

It was very dark inside the city gate. Although there were some oil lamps and candles hanging above his head, the situation inside was still unclear. When Li Gui was groping forward, he could feel that there seemed to be water flowing near the city gate. It was a little sticky when he stepped in.

Fuzzy. But now it's too late to think too much. The Tang army has abandoned the city and fled. Han Tongguan City has become an empty city. Open the city gate and let in the companions outside the city. Everything will be fine.

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

But just when they worked together to lift the city gate latch, something unexpected happened. The tall and heavy city gate fell down. Li Gui and his companions had no time to react, and they were crushed under the door together.

After letting out a painful scream, Li Gui's internal organs were squeezed out and he died. Before he died, he never thought that he had been careful and did not want to die because of fighting for military glory, but he still died in the end.

Fight for military glory.

The city gate fell down, and of course the gate opening was open. The rebel group waiting outside the city gate immediately rushed in through the city gate opening, trampling on the collapsed city gate inside the city gate opening. Poor Li Gui and his companions were killed.

Pressed under the city gate, their flesh and blood were already mutilated, and their internal organs were leaking out. However, they did not expect that due to the trampling of their companions, they all turned into a pile of flesh and blood, and their blood and water blended together.
