Chapter 487 is in danger

The strongest part of each city is not the city wall or the city gate as people generally think, but the jack gate as the last line of defense of the city.

Generally, the jack gate of the city is made of cast iron, and the weight can reach seven or eight hundred catties.

As the capital of the Jizhou Army, Yecheng has a jack gate that is much stronger than that of ordinary cities.

The jack gate of the four gates of Yecheng was specially ordered by Liu Yuan, and dozens of craftsmen spent half a month of hard work to build it with 100 refined steel.

In terms of weight, it also reached a staggering 1,200 catties, which is almost a weight that can be desperate.

Now Xu Huang was locked up in Yecheng by this giant gate of 1,200 catties.

The moment the jack gate fell, Xu Huang knew that he was lucky today, and it was very likely that his death would be quite aggrieved.

Less than twenty feet in front of him, a series of fiery snakes were approaching him at an extremely fast speed.

Generally haunted by these fiery snakes, even if his body is made of fine iron, it will be refined into a puddle of molten iron!

Now he doesn't even have a chance to fight with the enemy for the last time, which makes Xu Huang, who has always regarded himself very highly, have a deep sense of frustration!

Just when he was at his most desperate, the soldiers who had gone to open the gate rushed over from the city gate, and as soon as they came, they surrounded Xu Huang and protected him.

Those outermost soldiers even sacrificed their lives to pounce on the fiery serpent.

After being less than a few meters away from the fire snake, they used their knives and guns to dig into the ground quickly.

They wanted to dig a fire ditch, so that it could not completely stop the spread of the fire, but it could delay it somewhat.

In order to protect their commanders, these soldiers have completely put their lives and deaths on the line.

Even when some people were devoured by the fire snake again, they continued to wave the knives and guns in their hands and struggled to dig the fire ditch.

One soldier fell, and the other quickly followed, these soldiers were using their lives to delay the last chance of life for Xu Huang.

Seeing that the brothers under his command used such an extremely tragic situation to fight for their last chance to live.

Even an iron-clad man like Xu Huang shed two lines of heroic tears uncontrollably.

With a trembling voice, he kept stopping his brother from continuing the moth to the fire.

But at this time, no one obeyed his orders, and now the only belief in their hearts was to let their generals survive a little longer!

The actions of these soldiers not only made Xu Huang cry silently, but even their enemy Huang Zhong was touched by them.

If Huang Zhong ordered the arrows to be released now, then all these people would be killed in a very short time.

But Huang Zhong didn't choose to do this, in the face of such loyal soldiers, he didn't seem to be able to order his subordinates to shoot them.

Huang Zhong let out a long sigh a little helplessly, the war is so ruthless, these people are all good sons of the Han Dynasty.

It's a pity that for the sake of their respective lords, they have to divide each other on the battlefield!

At this time, the entire south side of Yecheng was red by the flames, and even the city walls built with huge bluestones were roasted red by the scorching fire.

The soldiers of the Cao-Liu coalition army who had climbed the wall of Yecheng before had been completely devoured by the flames at this time, and the only ones who were still alive were these people around Xu Huang!

Huang Zhong's men were all concentrated here, and his lieutenant once proposed to launch a final attack on the enemy forces surrounded by flames.

But they were all stopped by Huang Zhong, and even Tian Feng, who was a little dissatisfied with Huang Zhong before, chose to stand on Huang Zhong's side this time.

He patted the lieutenant on the shoulder and said slowly in a voice that was close to a sigh:

"Respectfully, God has the virtue of a good life! Besides, these people are using their lives to interpret their last loyalty! Even if there was really a 1 in 10,000 chance of being escaped by them, it would only be their fate! ”

"Strategist, others can let go, but Xu Huang, the horseman, is the culprit who injured the third lady! Even the unborn little lord in the womb of the third lady was angry, such a thief does not kill today, it is difficult to solve the hatred in a certain heart! ”

"Alright, respectfully. If there is one of us who hates this fang the most, it is General Hansheng! Now that General Hansheng has not expressed his position, you and I should not say anything more here! Let's go, accompany the old man to other places to see, don't let the fire roll back! ”

After saying that, Tian Feng pulled this partial general named Jingzhi out of here, and at this time, Xu Huang's subordinates finally stopped the fire snake from continuing to move closer to their main general.

It was only able to stop it for a while, but it was a great victory for them, but now none of them had the heart to celebrate it.

Because the Grim Reaper did not leave them, at this time they were not only surrounded by raging fire, but there were also countless Jizhou troops eyeing them outside the flames!

It can be said that they have now fallen into the land of ten deaths, but even so, they are not restrained, at least they want to keep their main general.

Just when Xu Huang and the remnants of his men were confronting Huang Zhong and the others through the flames, a violent impact suddenly came from the jack gate behind them.

This shocked the hearts of everyone present at the same time, and everyone present knew that the impact sound should have been made by Chen Zhi outside the city.

He didn't choose to evacuate, but tried hard to rescue Xu Huang.

This made Xu Huang ashamed for a while, and Chen Zhi had stopped him from rushing into Yecheng countless times before.

But not only did he ignore the kindness of others, but he laughed at each other more than once in his heart.

Now that the facts have proved that Chen Zhi is correct, Chen Zhi can completely ignore his blame and withdraw directly with his subordinates.

But the other party did not do this, but risked his life to come to his rescue, which made Xu Huang ashamed and ashamed!

As the impact sound became louder and louder, Xu Huang's heart slowly rose to his throat.

At this time, although Chen Zhi had already launched a rescue, their lives were still in Huang Zhong's hands.

As long as Huang Zhong ordered the release of arrows at them, then unless Chen Zhi could break through the jack gate in a very short time, they would still die at the hands of Huang Zhong's horseman.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Huang Zhong to make up his mind, and as his left hand slowly raised, the Jizhou sergeant behind him also pulled out the battle bow that had been gathering momentum for a long time.

Now just waiting for Huang Zhong's order, they can wipe out the remnants of the enemy army on the opposite side, just when Huang Zhong's hand shook lightly and was about to put it down.

From behind Xu Huang, a loud noise suddenly came.

After a burst of dust and smoke, Chen Dao, who looked prostrate, appeared from outside a large hole one person high under the jack gate, and as soon as he appeared, he anxiously shouted to Xu Huang:

"Brother Gongming, leave as soon as possible!"
