Although the lethality of bed crossbows is very high, they are not dense after all, and it is difficult to cause large-scale damage to the rebels under the city. There are many rebels who have escaped the attack of bed crossbows and crossbow archers. They attack in a slightly spread out formation.

The people under Tongguan City rushed over, and leaders at all levels immediately organized formations, preparing to fight back against the Tang army on top of the city.

But now the initiative lies with the Tang army on the city. Both Li Fudou and Pang Zhong knew that it was impossible to repel the rebel attack with a few rounds of crossbow shooting. To deal with the rebels attacking the city, arrow shooting was the most effective.

Lethality.

Therefore, after seeing the rebels entering the range of bows and arrows, he immediately issued an order to shoot bows and arrows.

After Li Fudou and Pang Zhong's orders were given, about 300 sergeants each lined up on the city walls toward the east gate and south gate. They drew their bows fully and pointed to the sky, almost at the same height. Following the lead,

With a command of "release", more than 300 arrows were shot almost simultaneously, and the sound of the salvo was very loud. Amidst the frightening sound of breaking through the air, a dense group of "migratory locusts" appeared in the sky, shooting towards the enemy.

After flying upward for a while, it slowly turned around and fell toward the rebel display that was coming up like a tide.

After shooting a round of arrows, the more than 300 sergeants who were the first to shoot immediately retreated, and the other more than 300 sergeants waiting behind immediately stepped forward and fully drew the prepared bows, just like the previous sergeants did.

He shot the arrow on the string with the greatest force, without even looking at how much damage the previous round of arrows had caused to the rebels.

After shooting, he immediately stepped back, and the sergeant in the next round immediately stepped forward and shot the arrow in his hand.

After shooting the arrow, it takes a certain amount of time to unstring the arrow and shoot. If two or three teams are arranged like this and take turns to shoot, the time of unstringing the arrow can be filled up to achieve the maximum intensive shooting.

The arrows are shot out continuously, over and over again, causing maximum damage to the enemy. This method is generally adopted whether in the attack and defense of the city or in the confrontation between the two armies, and the commanding general can order subsequent attacks according to changes in the enemy's situation.

The sergeant adjusted the shooting angle and shot at the enemy from different directions.

The area within Tongguan City that can be used for effective shooting is not large, and it is impossible for thousands of sergeants to stand together and shoot!

The arrows fired in this way were only a moment apart. Almost when the previous round of arrows fell on the heads of the rebels, the second round of arrows also appeared on the heads of the rebels. In terms of time, it would only last for about ten seconds at most. In this way

The intensive shooting will make it impossible for the soldiers under the city to hide.

The height gap between the top of the city and the bottom of the city is destined to exist. This gap will cause such a situation. The arrows shot by the sergeants on the top of the city can land on the heads of the siege sergeants below, but the arrows shot on the city head from below will not

But it may not necessarily land on the head of the sergeant on the city wall, or even shoot to the city wall. That is to say, the arrow shot by the sergeant on the top of the city must have a farther range than the arrow shot from the bottom of the city. This is the principle of kinetic energy and potential energy.

There was no way to overcome it. This also allowed the Tang army on top of the city to start shooting at the rebels first. The lethality caused by this relatively high-density shooting was also quite large!

As the arrows fell, countless screams came from the mouths of the rebels below the city. Countless sergeants who were hit by arrows fell from their horses or were shot down below the city. Some were seriously injured, and some even

He was killed on the spot. The shield that was not very dense in the hands of the sergeant could not effectively resist the arrows. The rebel formation was immediately in chaos. Some of the commanding captains, brigade commanders, and generals were also shot. There was no way to direct the sergeants to form a queue.

At this time, the arrows fired by the soldiers of the Tang Army on the top of the city continued to fly densely.

As the arrows from the Tang army soldiers on the city top continued to fall, the city quickly attacked. The rebels who were preparing to fight back in the same way and trying to find a way to board the city fell one after another. Continuous screams were heard in the narrow space.

There was a sound outside the east and south gates of Tongguan City.

The arrows carrying huge kinetic energy were quite lethal. Many rebel soldiers quickly fell to the ground and died after being hit by arrows in important parts. Many others fell to the ground seriously injured and became victims of the next batch of arrows.

Attack the target. Many of the sergeants preparing to attack the city were covered with arrows, a bit like hedgehogs. Almost all the sergeants who looked like hedgehogs lost their lives.

After only a few rounds of arrow shooting, countless corpses were piled up on the undulating open space in front of the city. Many wounded sergeants who fell to the ground were trampled under their feet by their companions who followed. Adding to the height of the pile of corpses, screams were heard

It never stopped, and eventually became the accompaniment of this war.

Even the scream is no longer as frightening and frightening as it was at first.

Get used to it!

In consecutive battles, his side had the upper hand. Li Fudou, who had never experienced the disastrous defeat of Lingbao or fought with the rebels at the head of Tongguan City, was filled with excitement. He kept ordering the sergeants and kept shooting to kill everyone.

The attacking rebels were shot and killed below the city walls.

Even he couldn't bear it anymore. He opened his bow and shot an arrow, and he shot out all the arrows in his quiver before he stopped.

Li Fudou's archery skills were quite good. He actually shot eighteen targets out of the twenty arrows in the quiver. Those who were shot were either dead or injured. A rebel general who was commanding the charge was shot by Li Fudou's last arrow.

The shot hit the target and killed him on the spot, causing a burst of cheers from Lee Ford's bodyguards.

Lee Ford believed that if such an offensive was maintained, it would be impossible for the rebels to set foot on the city.

Pang Zhong, who was defending the south of the city, was not as optimistic as Li Fudou. He had just experienced the disastrous defeat of Lingbao. Almost all the 100,000 troops he led were wiped out. After escaping back to Tongguan, only two or three thousand sergeants were left with him.

A very large shadow.

Moreover, in the past six months, he has commanded countless defensive battles at the top of the city, and he is well aware of the cruelty of Tongguan City's offensive and defensive battles.

Before Lingbao's defeat, there were sufficient troops in Tongguan City, which outnumbered the rebels. Even the Han Tongguan City, which protruded from the key pass of Tongguan City, was defended by nearly 20,000 soldiers and horses. When the rebels attacked the city, the defensive sergeants could rotate into the city.

Fight head-on, and don't worry about running out of arrows.

But now, there are only more than 2,000 sergeants at the top of Tongguan City in Han Dynasty. When the rebels attacked the city, almost all of them went into battle, and there were not even enough sergeants for rotation.

It can be said that there are not many arrows stored in the city, and there will not necessarily be a shortage, but the sergeants' physical strength will definitely be exhausted.

Stretching a bow and stringing an arrow to shoot an arrow is a very physically demanding task. The sergeants take turns to shoot. If they shoot a dozen or twenty times in a row, they may be able to withstand it without exhaustion. However, after a long time, they will definitely become unable to draw the bow.

A situation where an arrow cannot shoot far.

At that time, the rebels will begin to attack the city on a large scale, and our army will struggle to support it.

Danger will also appear at that time!
