Zhang He wants to be the vanguard himself.

What does the vanguard do?

The vanguard is the one who rushes to the forefront when he charges.

Let me tell you this, after a battle, if the vanguard is still alive, it is not something that can be described by the green smoke from the ancestral tomb.

That's the kind of ancestral tomb that is on fire, and it can't be extinguished no matter how you put it out.

As soon as he heard that Zhang He was going to be the vanguard in person, Jiao was also anxious.

"General, what are you talking about?"

"You are the commander of the three armies, how can you be the vanguard of this army?"

"If you have three longs and two shorts, how can we fight this battle!" Jiao Touch hurriedly knelt down and pleaded.

At this time, the soldiers who were ordered by Zhang He to carry the cloud ladder also came.

Zhang He is about to dismount and personally go to be the vanguard of this vanguard.

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

"General, I'm willing to do it for you."

"I'll be the vanguard for you, if you can't capture Yecheng, I'll see you!" After saying this, without waiting for Zhang He's reaction, Jiao Touch rushed forward with the ladder on his shoulder.

Jiao Touch used the ladder to knock away the siege equipment blocking the way, and rushed towards the wall of Yecheng with the ladder.

In this process, on the wall of Yecheng, it can be said that arrows are raining down, and the soldiers under Zhang He's command don't know how many people fell in the process of charging.

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 number of ordnance.

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

"Rush!"

"Rush me! Rush! ”

After the ladder was erected on the city wall, the soldiers under Zhang He's command climbed on the ladder densely like ants climbing up the tree, climbing upward.

Bows and arrows are useful for shooting enemies at a distance, but it is useless to shoot enemies at a close distance.

At this point, the arrows are useless.

On top of the ladder, the person climbed with one hand, and the round shield held by the other hand could already block the entire body.

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

"Boom."

"Boom, boom."

Countless thunderstones and rolling logs smashed down, and the soldiers on the ladder fell down the ladder like dumplings.

At this distance under the city wall, it is no longer clear to see the ground, and the ground is densely packed with corpses.

This battle lasted almost two hours, and the casualties of Zhang He's army approached 5,000.

Zhang He had already formulated the tactics of fighting wheel warfare, and the soldiers besieging the city under the city had already changed two waves of people!

And the soldiers on the city wall are already showing fatigue at this moment.

Zhang He personally came to the front line and shouted at the deputy general Jiao Touch, "Jiao Touch, are you okay?" ”

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

Originally, Zhang He said that he was the one who came to be the vanguard, and Jiao Touch had to replace him.

As a result, these have retired two waves of soldiers, and now, it is time to go to the third wave.

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

If we can't storm the city wall this time, then today's attack will probably end here.

Zhang He thought to himself, if you can't do it, you can come down, and I will command it myself.

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

"I'll die headfirst on the wall!" Jiao Fu swore and promised.

Jiao Jian also saw at this time that the defenders on the city wall were already showing fatigue.

Now it's just the last bit of strength, and you can storm the walls of Yecheng in one go.

Jiao Touch arrived with this third wave of soldiers, and by this time, the defenders on the city walls were exhausted.

Compared to the previous two charges, this one was relatively lighter.

Jiao Touch held a shield in one hand, climbed the ladder with the other, and took a bite of a treasure knife in his mouth.

Soon, under Jiao Touch's example, he led a part of Yuan's army to climb the city wall.

After part of the Yuan army climbed the city wall, they did not immediately storm it, but leaned against the city wall and held the position where the cloud ladder was located.

It can be seen that the 50,000 soldiers under Zhang He's command are all veterans.

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

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

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

The herald soldier covered in blood rushed to Su Ming, and reported in a frightened tone: "General, the city wall in the northern section is lost!" ”

"Enemy, enemy attack!"

Although they climbed the city wall, they only occupied a small section of the city wall, and there were about dozens of meters in front and behind.

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

These soldiers under Zhang He's command are better able to fight than Su Ming imagined!

There was a huge disparity in the strength of the enemy and us, and it was not surprising that some of the walls were lost.

However, what Su Ming didn't expect was that on the first day of the attack, the army under Zhang He would actually be able to attack the city wall.

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

The private armies of these families, in terms of individual soldier quality and weapons and equipment, are not inferior to the regular army.

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

The city wall was lost too quickly, and now it is still a gap of dozens of meters, if this gap cannot be blocked, then Yecheng may be captured today.

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

Thinking of this, Su Ming instructed Zhang Liao behind him: "When the war started, I said 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, and you must drive all the enemy troops who have landed in the city down!"

Zhang Liao arched his hand and swore a promise: "Don't worry, son, I, Zhang Liao, will complete the task." ”

"Not an hour, half an hour at most, I guarantee that no enemy army will be able to stand on the city wall."

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

Although Su Ming had a serious shortage of troops in his hands, he still kept a hand.

The hand left behind is Zhang Liao and his 800 trap camp.

From the beginning of the war to the present, the five thousand private troops and eight thousand strong men who have been responsible for defending the city wall have always been those big families.

Zhang Liao's 800 trap camp remained motionless and did not attack.

If it weren't for the enemy army climbing the city wall, Su Ming would not have let Zhang Liao lead the 800 trap camp to battle.

Su Ming left the Eight Hundred Trap camp until now in order to be a firefighter and deal with the current situation.
