Chapter 333： Xu Chu breaks the city [first update]

If Gao Shun didn't order the army to retreat just now, Xu Chu would have great confidence that he would be able to hit the top of the city and destroy the county city in one fell swoop.

But at this time, Gao Shun even ordered to retreat!

Xu Chu couldn't understand it, and he was even more angry.

Gao Shun looked at the city wall and said, "Even if we are attacking the city and fighting the barbarians in close combat, with the combat power of these county soldiers under our command, we will suffer heavy losses. Not to mention, it is not certain whether we can hit the city. Although the barbarians are not good at defending the city, Tuoba Hong also knows that once our army hits the city, what will they end up with, they will definitely defend with all their strength, and we will lose more troops."

"At present, there is news from Beiguan that the barbarian's follow-up army has arrived at Beiguan. We can't waste too many soldiers here, let alone waste too much time."

"Just now our offensive has let the barbarians know our strength, and at the same time all the county soldiers are placed here. I will immediately order the army to prepare for the attack again, and give Tuoba Hong an illusion that our army is really going from here. For the offensive, he will definitely transfer the other three defenders over."

"Xu Chu, take advantage of this time and lead your elite tiger guards to immediately attack the south gate behind the county city. You must directly take down the city gate!"

Xu Chu's eyes lit up. He was not a stupid person. He naturally understood Gao Shun's thoughts. The fullness of Gao Shun's heart disappeared instantly, and he immediately responded loudly: "I will obey!"

Xu Chu immediately led the tiger guards to go outside the south gate behind the county city.

Gao Shun gave an order at this time to prepare the army to attack again, but this time they were just a feint, attracting the attention of the barbarians and soldiers in the county.

On the city wall, Tuoba Hong looked at the large number of infantrymen of the Nanyan Kingdom in the distance in front of the city gate with a solemn expression.

If it was normal, he would have led the cavalry to rush out, and he would definitely be able to kill all these infantry by then.

But not today. If he rushes out with the cavalry now, he will probably be shot into a hornet's nest with a crossbow before he touches the enemy, and he will lose a lot of troops. This is unacceptable for his current strength.

"Looking at the Nanyan Kingdom army, there should be between 250,000 and 300,000. It seems that Lu Feng used this place as the key to breaking the city."

Tuoba Hong groaned slightly, and immediately ordered soldiers to be transferred from the other three gates to strengthen the defense here.

Although he is also a little worried that the other three sects will be attacked, but now he has no choice. Currently there are more than 200,000 elite soldiers of the Nanyan Kingdom and close to 300,000. If he does not make some changes, he is very likely to be attacked. Break the city in one fell swoop.

It was just that wave of siege, he could feel the strength of the soldiers of the Nanyan Kingdom, and he was almost attacked on the wall.

As for the other three gates, most of the troops of the Nanyan Kingdom are now outside the city gates, and the Nanyan Kingdom cannot separate its troops to attack the other three gates.

Besides, there are close to 5,000 guards in the other three gates. Even if they can't keep them, they can hold on for a while, and they will definitely be able to send troops to support them.

Thinking of this, Tuoba Hong’s expression is a little better. He has already received the news that the Harrell tribe has arrived at Weibeiguan. As long as Weibeiguan is breached by the Harrel tribe, Lu Feng and his army can’t take care of it. By myself.

"Leader, look, the enemy is about to attack the city again." Tuoba Hong's lieutenant said anxiously, pointing to the Nanyan Kingdom army in front of the city gate.

Tuoba Hong watched, his eyes narrowed, and the number of people preparing was at least twice as high as before.

There is no doubt that the Emperor Lu Feng of the Nanyan Kingdom has already mobilized all the troops they can use.

Previously there were not so many people attacking the city, and the city gates were almost breached. Now that there are more people, Tuoba Hong dare not think about it, and said anxiously: "Quickly, send the other three gates to leave the necessary soldiers to guard the city gate. Support here as quickly as possible."

"Yes!"

The lieutenant hurried down to pass the order.

Soon, most of the barbarian soldiers from the other three sects came here, and there were at least 130,000 barbarian soldiers in the city.

Tuoba Hong was finally relieved to see the barbarian soldiers next to him. With so many soldiers there, it shouldn't be a problem to defend this city gate.

Looking at the Nanyan Kingdom army slowly advancing below, Tuobahong sneered and said: "Lu Feng, Lu Feng, you will not be able to break the city wall in a short time. Wait for me, and wait until the Harrell tribe breaks the distance to Beiguan. , I must break your body into pieces!"

"General, the number of soldiers on the front of the city has increased a lot. It should be the barbarian soldiers of the other three sects that have begun to support." Gao Shun's lieutenant pointed to the top of the city and said.

Gao Shun nodded. He had already seen it, and said, "Ling the crossbowman to release his arrows, covering the city head, and making three waves of volleys. At the same time, he passed on Xu Chu and asked him to attack immediately when he arrived at the south gate. Go down to the south gate."

"Yes!"

After Gao Shun's order went down, the crossbowmen in the army of the Nanyan Kingdom immediately began to fire.

A rain of arrows condensed in the sky, pouring down at all the barbarians and soldiers on the city.

"Defense, fast, defense!"

Tuoba Hong shouted loudly.

Barbarians have very few shields, even in the county town of Haxian County, there are not many shields, and it is impossible for everyone to have them.

Many barbarians can only hide in the corner of the city wall, hoping not to be shot by bows and arrows.

On the other side, Xu Chu led the Tiger Guards on a rapid march and reached the rear of Hexian County in a short time.

After receiving Gao Shun's order, he waved his hand and shouted, "Siege!"

Tens of thousands of tiger guards immediately lifted the ladder and began to charge.

"Not good, enemy attack!"

The barbarian soldiers on the city wall were shocked, holding their bows and arrows, they kept playing with arrows below, trying to shoot the Tiger Guard soldiers.

"drink!"

Xu Chu yelled violently, his figure slammed, and he was about to fly towards the city wall.

"Quickly, the broken air arrow, the broken air arrow."

The general guarding the city gate hurriedly shouted when Xu Chu was about to fly up.

Only when the soldiers under his hand replaced the Qi-breaking arrow, Xu Chu had already reached the wall.

"kill!"

Xu Chu shouted angrily, slashing with a big knife in his hand, smashing many soldiers in front of him.

Shoo.

At this time, the air-breaking arrows prepared by the barbarians were also shot, but for Xu Chu, these air-breaking arrows were not enough in number or level, and did not pose too much threat to him.

Just a few stabs, directly behead the barbarians who shoot arrows.

"kill!"

Taking advantage of this time, the Tiger Guard successfully climbed up from the city, and under the leadership of Xu Chu, quickly occupied the city gate.

At the same time behead all the barbarian soldiers on the city gate, without exception.

After the city gate was taken down, Xu Chu left more than a thousand people guarding the city gate, leading the others to take down the east gate as quickly as possible, and then immediately charged towards the front gate.

"Report, leader, the rear gate has been broken, the enemy has invaded the city, and the army is rushing towards our army!"

"what?"
