Chapter 73: The situation is critical

Pang Zhong could not allow any deserter to appear under his command. If someone dared to escape, the sword in his hand would not forgive them.

His sergeant had a better morale than the other ones. However, they found a little confidence in Hantongguan and killed the enemy, which was much more fierce than the other ones.

The ladders under the city were still being set up continuously. Under the command of the main general who was led by the idea of ​​attacking the city, no matter how many casualties, they would attack the city, they continued to use the ladders to climb up the city, hoping to destroy the defense of the Tang army in this life-long way.

"Ah!" A rebel soldier who had just climbed to halfway up the waist of the cloud ladder was hit in the head by a big rock thrown from the city. After screaming, he let go of his hands climbing the cloud ladder, covered his bloody head, and then fell directly, and knocked several companions under the cloud ladder, and fell into the forbidden ditch in one go, either dead or injured.

"Kill!" A general under Pang Zhong waved his sword, and after a angrily shout, he slashed vigorously at a rebel sergeant who was quickly heading towards the city. Amid a shrill scream, the head of the rebel sergeant was halfway through, and the blood gushed out splashed with the crack. Many nearby sergeants were splashed with blood, but they were soon washed away by the rain and landed on the city.

The rebel soldier, whose neck was cut in half, immediately let go of his hand holding the ladder. The horizontal knife in his other hand also fell to the city, and his body fell down. He happened to fall on a rock, and his body separated. His head, which was terrified and wide-eyed, was then trampled on by several companions, but no one noticed it.

The forbidden ditches have become a "dam" with corpse walls as dams. The blood of the dead and injured soldiers under the city walls is mixed in the rain, flowing into the forbidden ditches, but the rapid flow of water flowing down from the high terrain quickly dilutes the strong blood, and spreads through the eastern edge of the forbidden ditches to the mountains, or flows through the "corpse dam" and continues to flow down.

At the beginning of the war, there were enough rebel soldiers killed and injured in the Forbidden Gully, which mixed with the Tang army soldiers who had not been burned. At that time, the Forbidden Gully could be said to be a river of blood. The smell of blood and the foul smell of rotten corpses made people want to vomit, but this heavy rain almost eliminated these smells, and there was no unpleasant smell between the nose.

But the Tang army soldiers on the top of the city would rather continue to smell these unpleasant smells than to rain heavily, and they kept falling.

The rain didn't stop and could only fight to the death.

Pang Zhong was very decisive in command and brave in combat. The other generals were similar, and Li Fude, who came to the city with several victories, was even more so. The soldiers under his command who had not experienced the disastrous defeat of Lingbao were almost timid. At the city guarded by these two generals, there were basically no rebels who could jump onto the city. The rebel soldiers who could climb the cloud ladder were all eliminated halfway, or were pushed into the forbidden ditch together with the cloud ladder.

But the situation of the war in several other places, such as the areas commanded by Wang Sili and Tian Liangqiu, was relatively unhappy. The soldiers who still had shadows in their hearts became timid after seeing more and more rebel soldiers climbing the city using cloud ladders. Even though Wang Sili and Tian Liangqiu used sharp means to kill several soldiers who had left their weapons and fled, the morale of the army still floated as more and more rebels began to climb the city.

"Ah... Kill!" A rebel sergeant who first reached the top of the cloud ladder and quickly leaned over the ladder and jumped onto the city wall. After a few shouts and shouting loudly, he waved the sword in his hand and chopped off the Tang army sergeant under him who was temporarily shocked by his bravery. He actually chopped several people over in an instant. At this time, several rebel sergeants on another cloud ladder took the opportunity to jump onto the top of the city!

The rebels who took the lead in the city were all brave warriors.

Before An Lushan rebelled, they were the most elite soldiers in the Tang Empire who were good at fighting against the border troops. They were very brave and had great combat experience.

Several unlucky Tang army soldiers first became victims under their swords, and were killed or severely injured. Several nearby Tang army soldiers were frightened and threw away their weapons and fled. The bravery of these rebel soldiers created opportunities for their subsequent companions to climb the city. Soon, more than a dozen soldiers rushed to the top of the city and started a massacre of the Tang army soldiers nearby.

This is the defensive area of ​​Wang Sili's army. Wang Sili, who was commanding the battle on the other side, soon discovered something strange about this place. After yelling, he immediately rushed over with his personal soldiers.

His personal soldier leader Wang Cunxu was a strong man who was more than half a head taller than Yang Xi, about two meters tall, and was astonishingly strong. Under Wang Sili's order, he rushed forward with one horse, waved the horizontal sword in his hand, and led the leading rebel lieutenant to the backhand. Then he waved his sword quickly, and cut off the head of the rebel lieutenant without any suspense.

A big head flew out of the city and fell into the pile of rebel soldiers under the city. A blood column soared out from the headless corpse, sprinkled Wang Sili, the head of the personal guard, and splashed onto other soldiers. Wang Cunxu did not give up, and continued to slash hard, then chopped down a rebel soldiers' head, stretched out his feet, and kicked the headless corpse directly under the city.

However, the horizontal sword in Wang Cunxu's hand was also destroyed. He smashed the horizontal sword in his hand that he could no longer use on another rebel soldier with a quick speed, and immediately picked up the Mo sword that someone threw on the ground and continued to rush over.

Mo Dao showed great power in Wang Cunxu's hands, and the rebels could not block his attack at all!

Wang Cunxu instantly killed several rebels and continued to rush over. Such a heroic feat shocked several rebels at the top of the city. No one dared to compete with them. Several rebel soldiers turned around and ran away when Wang Cunxu rushed over. But how could there be a place to escape on the top of the city? The scared rebel soldiers fell directly from the top of the city in a panic and fell on several companions who had just been climbing the ladder. Several people rolled down with their brains and fell to swim in the forbidden ditch.

Wang Cunxu's bravery not only shocked the rebels, but also inspired the morale of his companions. The timid soldiers no longer retreated, but rushed forward shouting. The rebels who climbed the city through the cloud ladder could not soon have a large number of personnel rushed to the top of the city. The dozens of soldiers who were lucky enough to rush up were soon killed by Wang Cunxu and other Tang army soldiers, and their bodies were all thrown down.

Seeing this, Wang Sili breathed a sigh of relief and immediately ordered the soldiers to continue to kill the enemy fiercely!

The situation in Tian Liangqiu's army was similar to that in Wang Sili's army. A large number of rebels rushed to the top of the city when the defensive soldiers were afraid of fighting. In the end, it was the beginning of the danger that several brave generals rushed up and killed several people.

The rain became a little lighter and the sky became brighter, but the wind became stronger again. The fog wrapped around the peaks of Huashan Mountain was flowing rapidly, and the fog near the city wall was quickly blown away. The fog blew away, and the situation in the area of ​​Jingou was clearly seen.

After seeing the situation in the forbidden ditch, Wang Sili took a breath.

The natural danger of the corpse almost disappeared. The bridges made by several corpses made the natural danger of the corpse pass through these bridges, and more and more soldiers were rushing over to the city wall. The bridges made of corpses were densely packed with rebel soldiers, because the space under the city wall was too small and too many sergeants could not be squeezed out, otherwise more soldiers would stand on the west edge of the corpse.

"Arrowman, shoot at the rebels in the forbidden ditch!" Wang Sili ordered in a furious manner.

He knew that if he allowed this situation, the city would sooner or later be captured by the rebels.

The corpses of the rebels can be piled up into a platform for siege. The subsequent rebels can use this platform to increase the intensity of attacks on the city and concentrate more power to climb the city. The dense arrows can effectively kill them, and Wang Sili immediately ordered concentrated power to shoot again.

However, the shooting effect is extremely disappointing under the influence of strong winds and heavy rains.

The dense rebel attack also put psychological pressure on the defenders on the city team, and some soldiers' stomachs trembled.

At this time, an arrow was shot out from the dense rebel array in the forbidden ditch, and landed on the city team in a strong wind, shooting more than a dozen sergeants to the ground. Seeing this, dozens of sergeants on the city who were afraid of being hit by rebel arrows again threw down their weapons and turned around and ran away.

The nearby sergeants were also affected, and many people stood there in a daze and were at a loss. A large defensive blank area was immediately exposed on the top of the city. Several rebel cities on the ladders took the opportunity to quickly rush up to the top of the city, desperately killing the panicked Tang army soldiers.

Many things are contagious, and more sergeants retreated.

"Kill me!" Wang Sili roared and led his personal soldiers to kill him.

However, just when Wang Sili personally led his personal soldiers to the front of the city, dozens of soldiers who were defending Tian Liangqiu next door threw down their weapons and fled. More rebel soldiers jumped onto the city and chased the Tang army that fled in panic. Helpless Tian Liangqiu had to lead his personal soldiers to rush up to block the rebels' climb to the city.

Just when the situation was critical, Wang Sili and Wang Liangqiu took their personal soldiers to the top of the city to kill more and more rebel soldiers rushing up, there was a shout of killing from their left hand, but Yang Xi brought a large group of troops to reinforce!

A shout of killing came from the direction of his right hand, and Ge Shuhan also sent the last five hundred reserve teams on the field!
