Chapter 617 Xu Rong's perseverance

Inside the Jiangguan, the guard general Zhuo Ying was lying on the bed and was sleeping soundly. At this moment, he suddenly heard a vague appointment outside and shouted for killing.

Zhuo Ying didn't take it seriously at first, but soon, he stood up from the bed and looked out of the window in horror.

"Why are there shouts of killing? What happened? People come, people come!" Zhuo Ying stood up hurriedly while shouting loudly to the outside.

Soon after, a guard hurried into the pass and said to Zhuo Ying: "Sima, something big is not good. A large number of warships on the river are coming up against the current. Now they are chasing outside the pass, and they are very interested in solving the problem!"

Zhuo Ying was like a dream at this moment, not knowing what to do in the fog.

Listening to his subordinates' narrative, the other party seemed to have driven a tower ship and a large winged ship.

As a Sima of another department, Zhuo Ying naturally understood that such huge water warships as tower ships were available only in the south of the Yangtze River, and only Mu Shou from Jingzhou and Yangzhou had the ability to drive three tower ships to Jiangguan.

The counties in Yangzhou are currently under the jurisdiction of Sun Jian. Sun Jian has no grievances and no grudges with the people of Yizhou, and there is a huge land of Jingzhou in the middle. If Sun Jian raises troops to rob Jiangguan, it is unrealistic to think about it.

If it weren't for Sun Jian...

"It's from Jingzhou! It's Liu Qi!" Zhuo Ying gritted his teeth while wearing armor, and said angrily: "Didn't the people of Jingzhou move their troops eastward and are going to attack Yuzhou? Why did they suddenly appear here... What a group of deceitful people! Where are their tower ships now?"

"Report to Sima, the enemy's tower ship and Dayi met the patrol ship on the river, and are now chasing the patrol ship toward the water gate."

"The water gate...the water gate..." Zhuo Ying murmured a few words: "It's okay, tell the soldiers guarding the water gate to open the water gate halfway and welcome Sima Teng into the city. I asked his boat to be stuck at the water gate, and then dispatch all the soldiers to concentrate in front of the water gate! Prepare the rockets and turbulence, and I want Liu Qi's boat to sink to the bottom of the river!"

"only!"

...

Zhuo Ying shouted loudly in the pass, and at this moment, on the shore outside the pass, under the leadership of Xu Rong, Dian Wei, Zhang Ren, Yan Yan, Pang De and others, six thousand elite Jingzhou infantry rushed towards Jiangguan with a tsunami.

Just now, the garrison soldiers on Jiang Pass were basically attracted by the situation on Jiang, and all the soldiers were concentrated at the Water Gate according to Zhuo Ying's order.

But I never thought that at this moment, a sudden change occurred...

Six thousand Jingzhou soldiers, led by a group of Jingzhou generals, rushed to the front with a storm like a storm.

The soldiers rushed to the bottom of Jiang Pass with all their might.

Because the Jiangguan Guard on the city wall received the order from Zhuo Ying, most of the garrison forces had been moved to the water gate, so there were very few soldiers guarding the Hanlu city wall.

Unexpectedly, an army of thousands of people suddenly appeared at the gate, and the Jiangguan Guards looked carefully in the fog and saw that the number of this troops was really large, and at least five thousand people had to go up. In this situation, the small number of soldiers at the gate were shocked.

Soon, the Jingzhou army rushed to the edge of the ditches outside the pass, and crossed the ditches that protected the city, which was several feet high in Jiangguan City Wall.

The head of the city guarding the city on the city had already reacted. While shouting loudly, he ordered people to blow the trumpet of security and organized the Yizhou army on the city wall to shoot arrows towards the Jingzhou army under the city.

However, there were not many defenders on the top of the city wall, and the sparse rain of arrows could not help repel the enemy. Instead, it told the other side that there were very few people.

However, although there were not many Yizhou defenders guarding the dry road, they were all condescending, and many Jingzhou troops had already rushed to the gates and were quite close.

Under the strait of a rain of arrows, many Jingzhou soldiers were also shot into arrows and fell to the ground and died.

Even so, Xu Rong, who was leading by example, turned a blind eye to this situation. Facing the oncoming rain of arrows, Xu Rong's expression remained the same, without even blinking his eyes, or even avoiding it. He just blocked it with the round shield in his hand, and at the same time used the horizontal knife in his hand as an auxiliary sweep.

"Wow! General Xu is so handsome. The powerful general of Xiliang is indeed extraordinary..." Dian Wei held a long halberd and a large shield. Not far from Xu Rong, seeing Xu Rong so brave, he couldn't help but exclaim.

Not only Dian Wei, many soldiers were very impressed when they saw Xu Rong so ignoring his life and death and moving forward bravely, and their morale rose greatly. They followed Xu Rong tightly while shouting loudly:

"Climb the city!"

"Climb the city!"

"Climb the city!"

Accompanied by the shouts, the soldiers of the Jingzhou army ran rapidly towards Jiangguan with firm steps.

Soon, the Xiandeng Army, who was responsible for the management of cloud ladders, came to the bottom of Guancheng. The soldiers of Jingzhou put down several cloud ladders, led by Xu Rong and Dian Wei. The soldiers of the brigade quickly passed through the ditches and came to the city wall.

Seeing that the Jingzhou army had already surrounded the city wall in large numbers, the Yizhou army on the city wall was even more shocked.

The head of the guard city gate commanded the soldiers to fire arrows, and urged: "Hurry! Go and notify Sima Zhuo quickly and ask him to send someone here to support him!"

Then, he ordered the Yizhou Army's defenders to prepare the rolling stones and raping wood.

The Yizhou army at Jiangguan had very high quality in defending the city. They were divided into two parts, one continued to shoot arrows under the city, and the other part prepared the rolling stones and prepared to organize the enemy to climb the city.

The rain of arrows on the top of the city once again vented like rain.

Xu Rong, who was commanding the soldiers to set up a ladder under the city, was suddenly shot into the shoulder by a sharp arrow.

"Hiss!" Xu Rong took a breath and frowned in pain.

A group of Jingwu soldiers came to him with shields, blocking the loss of arrows that continued to shoot from the city.

While supporting the shield, the Jingwu soldiers advised, "General Xu, the arrows on the city are quite strong. The enemy is now trying to fight to the death. The general has a good status and should not be in front of the front. If there is a mistake, it is useless for the three armies. Let's retreat."

Xu Rong narrowed his eyes and looked up at the city wall.

At this time, the Jingzhou Army had set up a ladder and started climbing at the critical moment.

For an army, the most dangerous link is at this moment when siege.

Because there is no trick to climbing the city, you can use a shield to move around and move around on the flat ground, but when climbing, you will fight with your life, because when you are climbing the city, your body is hanging in the air and there is no cover at all.

The soldiers had already climbed up the city wall and began to climb upwards, but the rain of arrows closed was aimed at them, and the stones poured down. Countless sharp weapons were called on the soldiers of Jingzhou, shooting them down from the ladder and smashing them down. Blood and brains sputtered on the city wall, which was very eye-catching. The smell of blood began to permeate the air under the city wall, making people feel nauseous.

Xu Rong took a deep breath, then used his right hand to pull out the arrow inserted into the flesh on his left arm. There was a barb on the arrow, and when he pulled it out, he brought out a piece of flesh and blood...

In the severe pain, Xu Rong's face turned pale, and big beads of sweat began to flow down his cheeks.

Then, he threw the arrow with his flesh and blood aside, raised his ring-headed knife, raised his head and shouted loudly: "How can this small scene be with me? The soldiers, follow me to climb the city!"

After saying that, he saw Xu Rong pushing away the Jing Wushu who was guarding him and climbing up the ladder.

At this moment, a hand reached out and grabbed his arm.
