Inside Jiangguan, the guard Zhuo Ying was lying on the bed and soundly sleeping. But at this moment, he suddenly heard the faint cry of killing coming from outside.

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

"Why are there shouts of killing? What happened? Come here, come here!" Zhuo Ying stood up in a hurry and shouted greetings outside.

Not long after, a guard was seen rushing into the pass and said to Zhuo Ying: "Sima, something bad has happened. There are a large number of warships on the river going upstream. Now they have chased them to the outside of the pass. They are eager to attack the pass!

"

Zhuo Ying felt like he was in a dream at this moment, confused and confused as to what to do.

From what my subordinates said, it seemed that the other party had arrived with a large ship and a large-winged ship.

As a Sima of another department, Zhuo Ying naturally understood that huge underwater warships such as tower ships could only be found in the south of the Yangtze River, and those who had the ability to drive three tower ships to Jiangguan were only the Mumen of Jingzhou and Yangzhou.

Shou has this strength.

The counties in Yangzhou are currently under the control of Sun Jian. Sun Jian has no enmity with the people of Yizhou, and there is a huge land of Jingzhou between them. If Sun Jian is allowed to raise troops up the river to seize Jiangguan... it is unrealistic no matter how hard he thinks.

If it weren't for Sun Jian...

"It's from Jingzhou! It's Liu Qi!" Zhuo Ying put on his armor and gritted his teeth and said angrily: "Haven't the people from Jingzhou already moved their troops eastward to attack Yuzhou? Why did they suddenly appear here... What a group of treacherous people!

Where is their ship now?"

"Reporting to Sima, the enemy's large ships and large wings met Teng Junhou's patrol boat on the river, and are now chasing the patrol boat towards the water gate."

"Water Gate...Water Gate..." Zhuo Ying muttered a few words in a low voice: "It's okay. Tell the soldiers guarding the Water Gate to open the Water Gate halfway and welcome Teng Sima into the city. I'll let his boat get stuck at the Water Gate.

, and then dispatch all the soldiers to gather in front of the water gate! Prepare the rockets and kerosene, I will make Liu Qi's ship sink to the bottom of the river!"

"only!"

…

Zhuo Ying was shouting and screaming inside the pass, but 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 were already roaring like a tsunami.

He rushed towards Jiangguan.

Just then, all the garrison soldiers at Jiangguan Pass were basically attracted by the situation on the river, and all the soldiers gathered 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 warriors, led by a group of Jingzhou fierce generals, rushed to the pass like a violent storm.

All the soldiers sprinted with all their strength, and after an hour and a half, they had already rushed under Jiangguan.

Because the Jiangguan garrison on the city wall received Zhuo Ying's order, most of the garrison forces had moved to Shuimen, so there were very few soldiers guarding the wall on the dry road.

Unexpectedly, an army of thousands of people suddenly appeared under the pass, and the Jiangguan defenders looked carefully in the fog. They found that the number of soldiers and horses was really large, at least 5,000 people. In this situation

, the few soldiers who closed the gate were greatly frightened.

Soon, the Jingzhou army rushed to the ditch outside the pass, crossed the ditch protecting the city, and reached the Jiangguan city wall several feet high.

The garrison commander on the city had already reacted. While shouting loudly, he ordered people to blow the guard horn, and organized the Yizhou army on the wall to fire arrows at the Jingzhou army below the city.

However, there were not many defenders at the top of the city, and the sparse arrow rain did not have the effect of repelling the enemy. Instead, it told the opponent that the number of troops was small.

However, although there are not many Yizhou garrison guarding the dry road, they are all in a condescending position, and many Jingzhou troops have already rushed to the pass, and the distance is quite close.

Under a round of arrow fire, many Jingzhou warriors fell to the ground and died after being hit by arrows.

Even so, Xu Rong, who was taking the lead, turned a blind eye to the situation. Facing the rain of arrows coming towards him, Xu Rong's expression remained the same. He didn't even blink or even dodge. He just used the round shield in his hand to block the situation.

Block, and at the same time use the horizontal knife in your hand as an auxiliary to sweep arrows.

"Hey! General Xu is really lucky. The Xiliang warriors are really extraordinary..." Dian Wei, holding a halberd and a big shield, was not far away from Xu Rong. When he saw Xu Rong's bravery, he couldn't help but praise him.

Not only Dian Wei, many soldiers also felt great admiration in their hearts when they saw Xu Rong marching forward bravely regardless of life and death, and their morale soared. They followed Xu Rong closely and shouted loudly:

"Climb the city!"

"Climb the city!"

"Climb the city!"

Along with the shouts, the soldiers of the Jingzhou Army took firm steps and ran quickly towards Jiangguan.

Soon, the Xianden army in charge of managing the ladders arrived under Guancheng. Jingzhou soldiers put down several ladders, led by Xu Rong and Dian Wei. The soldiers of the brigade quickly crossed the ditch on the ladders and came to the bottom of the city wall.

Seeing that the Jingzhou Army had surrounded the city wall in large numbers, the Yizhou Army on the wall became even more horrified.

The garrison commander commanded the soldiers to fire arrows more quickly, and urged: "Quick! Go and notify Zhuo Sima and ask him to send people here as soon as possible for support!"

Later, he ordered the Yizhou Army's garrison sergeants to prepare rolling stones and hammering logs.

The Yizhou Army at Jiangguan Pass was of high quality in defending the city. They were divided into two groups. One group continued to shoot arrows at the bottom of the city, while the other group prepared rolling stones and prepared to organize the enemy troops to board the city.

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

Xu Rong, who was directing the soldiers to set up ladders under the city, was suddenly shot in the shoulder by a sharp arrow.

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

A group of Jing warriors came to him with shields and blocked the arrows that continued to shoot from the city.

Those Jing warriors supported their shields while admonishing, "General Xu, the arrows on the city are quite strong. The enemy is now ready to fight to the death. The general has a high status and it is not appropriate to come to the front line in person. If something goes wrong, the three armies will be in danger."

It’s useless, so just retreat.”

Xu Rong narrowed his eyes and looked up towards the city.

At this time, the Jingzhou Army had already set up the ladder and began to climb the critical moment.

For an army, the most dangerous part is at this time when attacking a city.

Because there are no tricks to climb the city. On the flat ground, you can use a shield to protect yourself from arrows, and you can move around. But when you climb, you are risking your life, because when a person climbs a city, his body is suspended in the air, and there is no

There is no cover at all.

Some soldiers had already climbed up the city wall and started to climb up, but the arrows from the gate were already aimed at them, and the stones were pouring down. Countless sharp weapons were thrown at the Jingzhou soldiers, and the soldiers were attacked.

They shot down from the ladder and smashed down, blood and brains splattered on the city wall, which was very eye-catching. The smell of blood began to permeate the air under the city wall, making people sick to smell it.

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

Under the severe pain, Xu Rong's face turned pale, and large drops of sweat began to flow down his cheeks.

Then, he threw aside the arrow with his flesh and blood, raised his sword in his hand, raised his head and shouted loudly: "What can I do in such a small scene? Soldiers, follow me to climb the city!"

After saying that, he saw Xu Rong pushing away the Jing Wu soldiers who were guarding him and about to climb up the ladder.

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