The enemy and we are fighting fiercely on the city wall in front.
Outside the city wall, Li Siye is riding on a horse to observe the siege situation.
All the siege infantry behind him are fully prepared, and every thousand people are ready.
The team is a siege echelon, ready to replace the previous team at any time.
The time had passed, and Li Siye immediately ordered: "The fifth echelon is ready to replace the fourth echelon and attack."
"Kill!"
The soldiers of the fifth echelon of the Tang Army, led by a school lieutenant, lined up in a neat horizontal line and rushed to the city wall.
They quickly rushed to the bottom of the city wall, and the soldiers of the fourth echelon who were still under the city wall were replaced.
After that, they began to retreat, but the Tang Army soldiers who had climbed up the city wall were still insisting.
They had to wait for their colleagues in the fifth echelon to climb up and replace them before they could evacuate.
The Tang Army's siege echelons were replaced every quarter of an hour.
This intensive deployment of the maximum amount of troops quickly became too much for the rebels.
They had already adapted to the Tang Army's siege rhythm a few days ago, but at this time the Tang Army suddenly Changing the tempo and intensity of the siege, the rebels were immediately overwhelmed, their positions were in chaos, and loopholes appeared everywhere in the defense line.
It was at this time that Li Siye carried the extremely lethal Modao and led the Modao team to personally lead the attack on the city, because Tang Army soldiers had already climbed up the city wall to fight the rebels.
Li Siye and his Modao team They easily climbed up the city wall and quickly formed a formation of Mo Dao, standing in a line to cover a section of the city wall, and began to advance slowly.
"Cut!"
Li Siye roared, and slashed down the Mo Dao in his hand.
The Mo Dao hands in the front row also slashed down, and the rebels in front were immediately chopped into two halves.
"Chop" was shouted again, and a flash of sword flashed.
The rebels blocking the front were cut into two pieces, and their intestines and stomachs were all spilled out.
This crushing attack caused the rebels to collapse on the spot.
"Oh my God, stop fighting and run."
Some of the rebels immediately turned around and ran away.
The rebel soldiers supervising the battle in the rear were dispersed before they had time to react.
Li Siye relied on the Mo Dao Formation to crush from one end of the city wall to the other.
Everywhere he passed, rebels were either chopped into pieces or pushed off the city wall, and more rebels fled.
The rebels on the city wall were about to be cleared soon.
The rebel guard Li Guiren, who was still resisting, had a deathly expression on his face.
He was still holding on, but was forcibly pulled by his own soldiers to escape into the city.
After the rebels on the city wall were cleared, Li Siye quickly rushed down the city wall with his soldiers.
It didn't take much effort to kill the rebels guarding the city gate and opened the city gate.
At this time, the rebels were gone and no one was stupid.
They were still resisting here, which was an act of waiting for death.
Most of the rebels saw their leader Li Guiren escaping, so they chose to abandon their weapons and surrender to the Tang army.
On the commander's platform outside the city, Zhao Ziliang saw the city gate open, with a smile on his face.
He stood up and said to the generals around him: "Give me the order, the cavalry will stay outside the city, and the other units are preparing to enter the city."
"promise" After all, the rebels are rebels.
After all, their organizational capabilities cannot be compared with the Tang army, and their military morale is extremely unstable.
Once defeated, the soldiers fled completely, and large-scale, organized surrenders quickly formed.
Li Guiren even He only had time to escape from Tong with more than 300 people.
Passing eastward, the soldiers, horses, defense materials, weapons, armor, and food and grass left in Tongguan were all captured by the Tang army.
Duan Xiushi, Wang Sili, and others also quickly led their troops to seize several fortresses in the south to join Li Siye, and Tongguan returned to this point.
Under the control of the Tang army.
On the afternoon of the third day of October, Zhao Zi left his cavalry stationed outside the city and moved the Chinese army's troops to Tongguan City.
All the infantry also entered the city to take over various defense points.

That afternoon, after Zhao Ziliang deployed all the defenses, he ordered rewards for the entire army.
Even the cavalry units that did not participate in the battle were all rewarded.
Truckloads of wine and meat were shipped from outside the city to various camps and Tongguan City.
On the fourth day of October, Zhao Ziliang ordered that, except for the soldiers and horses with defense tasks, the troops that had previously participated in the siege entered a rest period, and other units continued to drill as usual.
Later, Zhao Ziliang asked his staff to write a memorial and sent someone to report the victory to the court.
The fall of Tongguan shocked An Lushan and the civil servants and generals of the Yan Dynasty.
An Lushan sat on the dragon chair and watched Li Guiren escape in embarrassment.
He was furious.
He slapped the armrest of the dragon chair and shouted: " I gave you so many soldiers, horses, and military supplies, and I trusted you so much, but you lost Tongguan.
What use could I have for you?
I dragged Li Guiren out and beheaded."
Several soldiers outside the hall strode in and dragged Li Guiren to leave the hall.
At this time, Prime Minister Gao Shang stood up and stopped him: "Wait a minute."
I saw Gao Shang salute An Lushan and said: "Your Majesty, General Li cannot be killed.
The fall of Tongguan is a crime other than war.
Tongguan's defense against the enemy coming from the west is not strong, and the Tang army's commander Zhao Ziliang is full of tricks, and his generals Li Siye and Duan Xiushi are all powerful generals.
In fact, His Majesty also knows that it is only a matter of time before Tongguan falls.
On this occasion, by killing Li Guiren now, Your Majesty will not only lose a general, but also make the Tang army applaud.
In the words of a businessman, this business cannot be done, and it will be a huge loss.
Weichen heard that he is now attacking General Wu Lingxun in Nanyang is seriously ill and can no longer command the troops.
It is better to transfer General Wu Lingxun back to Luoyang and let General Li Guiren go to Nanyang to lead troops with Bi Sichen to attack Nanyang defender Lu Jiong."
When An Lushan heard Gao Shang's words, he felt that his words were very reasonable, so he followed his suggestion and said to Li Guiren: "Since Gao Shang interceded for you, I will spare you this time and let you take the blame and make meritorious service.
I will order you to do so."
Go to Nanyang to replace Wu Lingxun and attack Nanyang defender Lu Jiong's tribe."
"Thank you, Your Majesty.
Thank you, Prime Minister."
Li Guiren kowtowed quickly to express his gratitude.
Another prime minister, Yan Zhuang, stood up and cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, now that the Tongguan natural barrier has been captured by the Tang army, our army has fallen into a passive position.
The top priority is to strengthen the defense line between Shaanxi County and Lingbao, as well as the defense line north of the Yellow River.
Strength, especially in the Lingbao and Anyi areas.
The Lingbao Mountains are long and narrow, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the Tang army now occupies Pujin Pass.
Cui Qianyou should be sent more troops to strengthen the defense of Anyi and other surrounding cities."
"I second the proposal" "I also second the proposal."
For a while, the ministers stood up and agreed.
An Lushan also felt that this was justified, so he ordered Neng Yuanhao, who was stationed in Shaanxi County, to strengthen the defense force on the Lingbao front line, and sent an additional 20,000 troops to Cui Qianyou in Anyi.
On the Mobei grassland, a knight galloped all the way to the north, followed closely by three strong war horses.
These were horses used for transfer, in order to maintain the speed of the journey.
After entering within two hundred miles of Mobei City, the knight found that he was being targeted.
After another two hours, dozens of elite cavalry came from all directions and surrounded the knight.
The knight immediately reined in his horse and raised his hands, shouting: "I mean no harm.
I was ordered to see General Zhang Shouyu.
Please take me to see General Zhang Shouyu."
A leading cavalryman stepped forward and looked at the knight for a while, then asked in a deep voice: "Where are you from and why do you want to see General Zhang?"
The knight said: "You don't need to ask me who I am, just give this thing to General Zhang Shouyu, and he will know who I am.
If you delay or conceal it, the consequences will be serious."

He took out half a piece of copper Throw the token to the opposing cavalry.
The leading cavalry took half of the bronze medal and looked at it repeatedly.
He didn't find anything special.
After pondering for a moment, he ordered the other cavalrymen: "Take him, let's go back."
The knights who were on their way breathed a sigh of relief and followed these cavalrymen towards Mobei City.
That night, everyone rested for the night at a camp where shepherds gathered and received warm hospitality.
Early the next morning, everyone continued on their way and arrived at Mobei City at noon.
Today's Mobei City is very different from that of more than ten years ago.
The area of Mobei City has doubled.
Although the city wall has not increased in height or thickness, it is expanded and maintained every year.
A prosperous and lively city has already appeared here.
The Grand Market is the largest goods distribution center in the entire Mobei grassland region, with a permanent population of 200,000 and a floating population of 200,000.
The Lord's Palace of Mobei City and the Palace of the Protector-General of Shanyu are both in the same place.
Shanyu's Deputy Protector-General and Chief Shouyu of Mobei City are having dinner with their wives and children in the mansion.
At this time, the old housekeeper walked in and reported: "Sir, General Xue Song said outside the house that he had something urgent to see."
"Let him come in quickly and serve tea in the front hall."
Zhang Shouyu ordered, put down the bowls and chopsticks and said to his wife and children, "You guys eat first, I'll go see General Xue."
Xue Song, the deputy general of the Mobei Army, kept drinking tea from the cup, and his heart was obviously uneasy.
He was only in his early twenties when he came to Mobei to join the army.
Now more than ten years have passed, and he has also passed his thirties.
He has several children.
Hearing the heavy footsteps, Xue Song knew that Zhang Shouyu was coming.
He immediately put down his tea cup.
Sure enough, he saw Zhang Shouyu coming from behind the screen.
He quickly stood up and saluted with clasped fists: "General" "You're welcome, sit down and talk" "Thank you General" Zhang Shouyu asked: "What's the matter in such a hurry?"
Xue Song said: "Yesterday afternoon, a patrol team found a person two hundred miles south of Mobei City.
This person claimed to have been ordered to see the general and took out this."
After saying that, Xue Song took out half a bronze medal from his arms and handed it to Zhang Shouyu, saying: "If the general remembers it correctly, this is the troop deployment token used by General Zhao Ziliang when he was the Marquis of Zhenbei and the Lord of Mobei City."
When Zhang Shouyu took the token and looked at it, his pupils suddenly tightened and his expression became excited.
He hurriedly asked: "Where is this person?
Bring him to me."
"It's at the military camp outside the city.
The general will send someone to bring him here."
Not long after, a person was brought in.
This person was wearing a cloak, and his whole body was wrapped in the cloak.
After seeing Zhang Shouyu, he took off the cloak and hat on his head, revealing his true appearance.
He cupped his fists and bowed and said, "I have seen General Zhang." " Zhang Shouyu quickly asked: "Who are you and why do you have this half bronze medal?"
The cloaked man smiled and took out a letter from his arms and said, "General, you don't have to worry about who I am.
As long as the general has read this letter, he will know what is going on."
Zhang Shouyu was about to pick up the letter when the soldiers beside him hurriedly reminded him: "General, don't do it.
The villain is deceitful."
Another soldier immediately stepped forward to take the letter and checked it carefully, but the cloaked man always smiled and did not move.
The letter finally arrived in Zhang Shouyu's hands.
He opened the envelope and took out the letter and began to read it.
The more he read, the more excited he became.

After reading it, he closed the letter and looked at the crowd with a firm expression: "Send my order, and all the Mobei Army will be fully armed and assemble immediately."
