I was kicked out by Sun Quan, and I turned to Cao thief

Chapter 161

Zhang He wants to be the vanguard himself.

What does the vanguard do?

The vanguard is the one who rushes forward when charging into battle.

Let me tell you this, after a battle is fought, if the vanguard is still alive, it cannot be described as green smoke from the ancestral grave.

It was the ancestral tomb on fire, and it was the kind that couldn't be extinguished no matter how hard it was.

When he heard that Zhang He was going to be the vanguard himself, Jiao Touch became anxious.

"General, what are you talking about?"

"You are the commander-in-chief of the three armies, how can you be the vanguard?"

"If something happens to you, how can we fight this battle!" Jiao Touch hurriedly begged on his knees.

At this time, the soldiers who were ordered by Zhang Yun to lift the ladder also came.

Zhang Yun was about to dismount and go to be the vanguard himself.

Seeing that Zhang He was really coming, Jiao Touch quickly got up and came to the front of the ladder.

"General, I am anxious to do it for you."

"I'll be the vanguard for you. If you can't attack Yecheng, I'll come and see you!" After saying this, without waiting for Zhang Yun's reaction, Jiao Touch rushed forward with the ladder on his shoulders.

Jiao Touch knocked away the siege equipment blocking the way with the ladder, and rushed towards the city wall of Ye City with the ladder on his shoulders.

During this process, arrows rained down on the city wall of Yecheng, and the soldiers under Zhang Xi's command fell down during the charge.

Before this battle of Guandu, Yuan Shaoke had always been the biggest prince in the world.

And Yecheng, as Yuan Shao's base camp, hoarded a large amount of ordnance.

There is no shortage of bows and arrows in Yecheng, and countless bows and arrows are pouring down like heavy rain.

"Come on!"

"Come on! Go!"

After the ladder was built on the city wall, the soldiers under Zhang Xi's command climbed densely on the ladder like ants climbing a tree, and climbed up.

Bows and arrows are good for shooting distant enemies, but they are useless for shooting close enemies.

At this time, the arrow is useless.

A person is on the ladder, climbing with one hand, and holding a round shield with the other hand, which can already block the entire body.

At this time, the soldiers on the city wall picked up a large number of thunder stones and rolled logs, and threw them at the soldiers on the ladder.

"Boom."

"Boom, boom, boom."

Countless thunder stones and rolling logs smashed down, and the soldiers on the ladder fell off the ladder like dumplings.

At this distance under the city wall, the ground can no longer be seen clearly, and the ground is densely packed with corpses.

This battle lasted for almost two hours, and the number of casualties in Zhang Yun's army approached 5000.

Zhang Xi had already formulated a tactic for fighting with wheels, and the soldiers attacking the city had changed two waves!

The soldiers on the city wall were already showing signs of fatigue.

Zhang Yun came to the front line in person, and asked the lieutenant general Jiao Touch, "Jiao Touch, are you okay?"

"If you can't do it, get out of here!"

Originally, Zhang He said that he would be the vanguard, but Jiao Touch had to replace him.

As a result, two waves of soldiers have retreated, and now it's time for the third wave.

The soldiers who retreated from the first two waves are resting, and this third wave is already the last wave.

If they still can't attack the city wall this time, then today's attack may come to an end.

Zhang He thought to himself, if you can't do Jiaochu, you can come down and I will direct by myself.

"Don't worry, general, if I can't attack the city this time!"

"I'll just crash my head against the city wall!" Jiao Touch assured.

At this moment, Jiao Touch could also see that the defenders on the city wall were showing signs of fatigue.

Now it is only the last effort that is missing, and he can attack the city wall of Ye City in one go.

Jiao Touch led the third wave of soldiers and immediately arrived. At this time, the defenders on the city wall were already exhausted.

Compared with the previous two charges, this time was relatively easy.

Jiao Touch holds a shield in one hand, climbs a ladder with the other, and holds a treasured saber in his mouth.

Soon, under Jiao Chu's lead, he led a part of Yuan's army up to the city wall.

After some Yuan Jun boarded the city wall, they did not attack immediately, but leaned against the city wall and held the position of the ladder.

It can be seen from this that the [-] soldiers under Zhang Xi's command are all veterans.

They know how to siege the city, and the most taboo thing about attacking the city wall is to rush and attack immediately after attacking the city wall.

Once you rush and hit, the position of the ladder will be occupied by the defenders, and the soldiers behind will not be able to get up, and the soldiers who come up in front will put themselves in danger instead.

The soldiers under Zhang He's command were all veterans, and under their support, more and more soldiers climbed onto the city wall.

"Report" The bloody messenger rushed to Su Ming and reported in a terrified tone: "General, the northern part of the city wall is lost!"

"Enemy, the enemy is attacking!"

Although Jiao Touch and the others climbed onto the city wall, they only occupied a small part of the city wall, about tens of meters in front and back.

Hearing this news, Su Ming couldn't help frowning.

These soldiers under Zhang Xi's command are more capable of fighting than Su Ming imagined!
There is a huge disparity in the strength of the enemy and us, and it is expected that some of the city walls will be lost.

However, what Su Ming didn't expect was that on the first day of the attack, the army under Zhang Xi's command was able to attack the city wall.

Sure enough, the private armies of these families are still embarrassing to use.

The private army of these families is not inferior to the regular army in terms of individual quality and weaponry.

However, in terms of teamwork and psychological quality, it is much worse than the regular army.

The city wall was lost too quickly, and there is still a gap of tens of meters. If this gap cannot be filled, Yecheng may be captured today.

In any case, the enemy troops who climbed the city wall must be driven down.

Thinking of this, Su Ming told Zhang Liao behind him: "When the war started, I told you that it would be of great use to keep you."

"Now, it's your turn!"

"One hour, I will give you one hour at most, you must drive out all the enemy troops who have entered the city!"

Zhang Liao cupped his hands, and promised firmly: "My lord, don't worry, I, Zhang Liao, will definitely complete the task."

"It doesn't take an hour, at most half an hour, I guarantee that no enemy army can stand on the city wall."

Up to now, Zhang Yun has changed three waves of soldiers and horses.

Although Su Ming was seriously short of troops, he still kept one hand.

The hand left is Zhang Liao and his [-] camp.

From the beginning of the war to the present, the defense on the city wall has always been the [-] private troops gathered by those big families, and [-] strong men.

Zhang Liao's [-] trapped camp did not move at all and did not attack.

If the enemy hadn't climbed the city wall, Su Ming wouldn't have let Zhang Liao lead the [-] camps into battle.

Su Ming kept the [-] camp until now just to be a firefighter and deal with the current situation.
