Chapter 557 Lead by Example

Xu Huang was furious when he saw that the Liangzhou Army was still unable to organize an effective offensive. In desperation, he asked for orders to fight on the spot.

"Gongming?"

Liu Ye frowned. Attacking a city is not an easy task. You have to risk the arrows yourself. If you are not careful, you will be knocked off the city. It is not a big deal to kill or injure thousands of soldiers. But if you lose a general like Xu Huang, Liu Ye will It has to hurt and bleed.

Seeing that Liu Ye seemed to be refusing to agree, Xu Huang said firmly: "The last general is asking for a battle. Please allow me to do so."

Guo Jia seemed to sense Liu Ye's concern, so he stepped forward, leaned close to Liu Ye's ear, and whispered: "General, General Gongming is eager to fight. If General Gongming is not allowed to go into battle, I am afraid that General Gongming's spirit will be dampened."

"Okay." Liu Ye could only say, "In this case, Gongming, you must be careful when leading the team yourself."

"Thank you, General, for your permission!"

Xu Huang stood up with a smile on his face, turned around and walked towards the city.

Xu Huang shouted, and more than 2,000 Xu Huang's men in the Liangzhou army immediately followed Xu Huang and ran towards the city wall of Yecheng. One by one, they grabbed the ladders and climbed up the city wall.

When he first attacked the city, Xu Huang did not carry a handy mountain axe. Instead, he held a short ax in his mouth and a large iron shield in his hand. Although he was fully clothed, he was not bloated at all, but rather very Flexible, climbing up quickly like an ape, climbing more than half of the way up in a blink of an eye.

"An enemy general is attacking the city!"

Shen Rong's sharp eyes saw Xu Huang who was climbing the wall, and he hurriedly ordered the soldiers: "What are you doing standing still? Didn't you see the enemy general? Killing him is more effective than killing a hundred Liangzhou soldiers."

The Jizhou army guarding the city hurriedly worked together to lift a rolling log, pointed it at Xu Huang, and threw it down.

boom!

Xu Huang heard the roar of the wind and looked up to see a huge rolling log flying down. He raised the iron shield in his hand and swept it out at the right time.

Boom!

The moment the rolling log fell, Xu Huang's iron shield was swung out and collided with the rolling log. The rolling log was immediately blown away with perfect accuracy and almost no damage to Xu Huang.

"snort!"

Xu Huang sneered and continued climbing up.

"Trash! A bunch of trash!" Shen Rong was furious, waving his hands to repel the soldiers, looking around, his eyes lit up. He stepped forward and wrapped his arms around a stone.

"Hey! Get up-"

Shen Rong couldn't wait to use all his strength to suck the milk. He finally held the stone in his arms with all his strength. His face turned red from suppressing it. He took a few trembling steps and aimed at Xu Huang.

"go to hell!"

Shen Rong released his hands, and the huge stone suddenly fell down. The expressions of the Liangzhou Army on the ladder suddenly changed drastically.

But Xu Huang frowned, saw the opportunity, and suddenly swung the iron shield out, hitting the stone at the right time. Only a "thud" sound was heard. The huge stone was struck by Xu Huang, and its trajectory immediately changed, and it fell to the ground with a thud.

Although Xu Huangyi was a very brave man, he couldn't help but frown when he saw this scene.

"so close!"

"This damn enemy general is really seeking death."

Xu Huang was angry, and with a sullen face, he accelerated his climb. Originally, he was only a few steps away from the top of the city. After a while of using his hands and feet, the top of the city finally appeared in front of Xu Huang's eyes.

Snapped!

Xu Huang stretched out his hand to hold the city head, exerted force with his arms and waist, and suddenly jumped up, appearing on the city head of Yecheng.

"The enemy general is so brave!"

As soon as Xu Huang climbed to the top of the city, his eyes locked onto Shen Rong, who had just thrown stones at him. The anger in his eyes seemed to be about to burst out, scaring Shen Rong to take a few steps back.

"The enemy general has boarded the city, shoot him to death! Shoot him to death!" Shen Rong was frightened when he saw Xu Huang looking like he was ready to kill someone, and hurriedly shouted to the crossbowman.

When the crossbowmen saw Xu Huang dressed as a general, they naturally did not dare to take it lightly. Moreover, killing the enemy general would be rewarded, so they all drew their bows and arrows. At least a dozen crossbows were aimed at Xu Huang, as if It was a dozen poisonous snakes that looked over.

Whoosh whoosh!

More than a dozen killing intents flew towards him. Xu Huang suddenly raised his iron shield and knocked it hard on the city head.

Boom!

Tuk-tuk-tuk!

A dozen or dozens of arrows were fired in volley, but they all hit Xu Huang's shield. The large iron shield was as tall as a person, and it happened to hide Xu Huang's figure behind the shield, so it was densely packed. The arrows shot at the shield were all bounced away, and none of them could hit Xu Huang.

The row of archers behind the parapet was stunned for a moment, while Shen Rong looked anxious and shouted: "What the hell are you doing standing still? Keep shooting!"

The archer hurriedly shot again, but still found nothing.

"Kill!" Xu Huang roared angrily, held the iron shield in front of him, and rushed forward with the iron shield in his hand. He rushed forward fiercely like a mobile fortress.

The Liangzhou soldiers who boarded the city were greatly encouraged and their morale soared when they saw Xu Huang taking the lead and risking his own life.

"General Gongming personally takes the lead, how can we stay behind?"

"That's it! Damn it, all the men with handles should come on!"

"Kill the Jizhou army and seize the city!"

Hundreds of Liangzhou troops followed Xu Huang and rushed forward fiercely. The Jizhou army was immediately in chaos.

"What are you doing standing still? Come on!"

Shen Rong was very worried. If the Liangzhou army was allowed to board the city, would his uncle be able to chop him alive?

At this time, the infantry of the Jizhou Army were awakening from a dream, and rushed forward in a hurry, trying to stop the Liangzhou Army's offensive.

"kill!"

Xu Huang was charging like a powerful and heavy wild boar. His broad iron shield hit a Jizhou soldier hard, knocking him away. Then he put away the iron shield and revealed his short axe.

The short ax fell hard, like Pangu opening up the world. The ax that split the chaos suddenly struck down on the Jizhou Army's shoulder. Xu Huang kicked him out.

Xu Huang's martial arts skills were very strong. He used the short ax and iron shield in his hands to attack and defend, and they cooperated with each other tacitly. The Jizhou army was not allowed to get close, but was knocked to the ground one by one by Xu Huang's axe.

Seeing Xu Huang's bravery, the Liangzhou army was naturally greatly encouraged and launched a fierce attack on the Jizhou army on the top of the city. The Liangzhou soldiers were experienced in battles and had been fighting almost every day since the first year of Zhongping. There was no shortage of elite soldiers and veterans who had been fighting for five or six years. The Jizhou army was beaten back and forth and was in a state of disarray.

Seeing the Liangzhou Army pushing the front line from the top of the city step by step, getting closer and closer to the female wall, Shen Rong suddenly became anxious.

The so-called female wall is a low city wall built behind the city wall as a secondary defense. Because the wall is thin and relatively weak compared to the tall and thick city wall, it is called the female wall.

Once the parapet is lost, how can it be gained?
