Yang Ang did not dare to fight to the death, and Han Sui was afraid that he would lose his life if he went down.
It seems that Wang Ding is not in danger, but if he were replaced, the situation might be different.
At least Gao Shun on the city wall will definitely not be as worried as he is now.
Wang Ding also gradually became rational.
He also knows that he was indeed impulsive just now.
When Gao Shun proposed to go to the city, he strongly opposed it.
As the lord, he is still not mature enough.
In the previous situation, if it were Liu Bei and Cao Cao, it would be absolutely impossible for the two of them to put themselves in danger.
Cao Cao and Liu Bei have definitely experienced more dangers than Wang Ding now, but those dangers are not because they deliberately take risks, but because they are forced by the situation and have no choice but to do so.
In the previous situation, the best choice would have been Gaoshun Xiacheng.
Even if Wang Ding is reluctant to take Gao Shun's risk, Han Sui should go down, or simply select a group of elite soldiers to go down.
Like Zhang Lu and Yang Ang, it is more reasonable to watch the soldiers charge and hide behind than to risk Wang Ding himself.
Send fifty elite soldiers. If you can't successfully burn down the siege engines, then send a hundred more.
If one hundred people is not enough, then two hundred people.
Compared with the enemy troops outside the city, the Han army on the city wall has better equipment and stronger combat power.
The opponent can use their lives to climb the city wall. Their task is only to burn two siege engines, which is less difficult than climbing the city wall.
But even if it were to happen again, Wang Ding would probably go down in person.
This is his character. At least for now, he has not transformed into a hero like Cao Cao and Liu Bei.
He couldn't see others dying for him.
In front of the city gate, two siege engines were still burning, and the raging fire prevented others from approaching.
The only threats left now are the three fake ladders.
It's just that two of them were burned down earlier, and now Zhang Lu is protecting the remaining three ladders even more closely.
On the ladder, in addition to the soldiers climbing, there are also people holding shields to guard it.
The two siege engines were burned, and the morale of the Han army on the city wall was greatly boosted. The pressure was much less, as if there was another force in the body, and they were not so tired.
Outside the city wall, even if Zhang Lu stood a mile away, he could still see the burning fire.
His face was ashen.
Yang Ang came back tremblingly and said: "My lord, I went late. The two siege vehicles have been burned, leaving only more than 20 elite Han troops."
It seems as if these more than twenty elite Han soldiers were killed by him.
How could Zhang Lu see clearly the battle a mile away, but the armor on Yang Ang's body was not stained with any blood, but Zhang Lu could see it clearly.
"Trash." Zhang Lu cursed.
I envy Wang Ding very much in my heart for having such a fierce general under his command.
Soldiers had already reported to him that the ladder in front was burned.
A fierce general jumped from the city wall onto the ladder and killed all the soldiers on the ladder.
So this time, Zhang Lu also thought it was the general who burned the ladder before, so he led his men out again and burned his siege vehicle.
He also wants to have such a strong general.
When his eyes fell on Yang Ang and Yang Bai, Zhang Lu felt only disappointment.
If it weren't for the time of employment, he would have pulled these two people out and chopped them up.
He usually talks about being so powerful, but once he goes to the battlefield, his true colors are immediately revealed.
They are all useless and worthless.
"Take another team of people and guard the three ladders. If the opponent comes out, shoot them with random arrows." Zhang Lu said.
He was worried that the fierce generals of the Han army in the city would repeat his old tricks and burn the remaining three ladders together.
Without siege engines and ladders, if you want to storm Yangping Pass, you will have to do more than just kill people.
Even though Yang Ang was reluctant, he still obeyed the order.
He can fish in the battlefield, but if he really refuses Zhang Lu's order directly, Zhang Lu will not keep him even if he is short of people.
Yang Ang felt it was unfair, why was he the one who was always being ordered around, so Yang Bai could have a good rest.
There is also Zhang Wei, who has stayed in the military camp for the past two days and has never come out.
Under the scorching sun.
The soldiers on both sides were already sweating profusely.
As noon approaches, the temperature gets higher and higher.
Whether it is the Han army defending the city or the Zhang Lu army attacking the city, the condition of each soldier is not good.
Xu Huang came out.
He didn't go to rest until dawn.
I have only slept for more than two hours now.
Just by looking at it, Xu Huang knew that the battle for more than two hours was very intense.
The fire burning below the city, and the two burned ladders on the side.
There are dense enemy troops in front of you.
Just by looking at it, Xu Huang realized that the biggest threat now was the remaining three ladders.
He also saw why it had not been destroyed for so long.
Xu Huang took out his bow and arrow and shot at the enemy soldiers holding shields on the ladder.
The arrow was like a straight line and appeared in front of a soldier in an instant.
Even if the opponent holds a shield, at such a close distance, Xu Huang can still find an opportunity and hit the target with one arrow.
Along with screams, the enemy soldiers holding shields on the ladder were hit by arrows and fell from the ladder.
Before Zhang Lu could send his men to climb the ladder again, Gao Shun followed and took action.
A dozen clay pots specializing in kerosene were smashed on the ladder.
Xu Huang lit a rocket and shot it towards the ladder.
Boom!
It took more than two hours for Wang Ding and the others to burn down two ladders. After Xu Huang arrived, within a quarter of an hour, another ladder was burned down.
There were still several enemy soldiers on the ladder, and they all jumped off the ladder at the moment it burned.
They may not be afraid of death, but they are still human beings, and no one can bear the feeling of being burned alive by fire.
Even believers who have been completely brainwashed cannot bear this kind of pain.
Xu Huang continued to bend his bow and shoot arrows. In a moment, the soldiers holding shields on another ladder were also shot and fell to the ground.
Xu Huang's arrows are at a very tricky angle, and as long as he sees a gap, the arrows can hit.
There are no missed arrows, and every shot hits the mark.
Wang Ding didn't know how big the gap was between Huang Zhong, who seemed to be good at archery, and Xu Huang's archery.
If Wang Ding wants to know the answer, he can only find out when he meets Huang Zhong in the future.
Boom!
The fourth ladder was also engulfed in fire.
Zhang Lu, a mile away, looked solemn.
There is only one last ladder left.
Zhang Lu began to hesitate.
He still didn't quite understand why the two ladders were suddenly burned down. He clearly sent Yang Ang to support them.
Obviously, he sent people to support him every time, so why did he worry about something happening every time?
It's as if there is a force in the dark that is against him.
