When Gao Pei came out of Zhang Wei's tent, his face was as gloomy as water.
Zhang Wei was just plundering the formation, there was no need for him to inform Zhang Wei.
What Gao Pei wanted was for Zhang Wei to send troops together.
It's best to let Zhang Wei's troops rush in front.
It’s just that Zhang Wei obviously won’t cooperate with him.
The next day, Gao Pei took his 50,000 troops and set off from the camp.
Twelve ladders, plus two siege engines, headed towards Yangping Pass.
Zhang Wei was just watching the show from behind.
Before, they first used fatigue tactics, and then used human sea tactics, but they failed to capture Yangping Pass.
Zhang Wei doesn’t think Gao Pei can succeed today.
He is now more in a state of watching a show.
He wanted to see what Gao Pei would look like when he returned in disgrace.
When the time comes, do you need to comfort the other person or laugh at the other person?
Zhang Wei is in a good mood.
His brothers have already gone back. Zhang Wei has no intention of attacking Yangping Pass.
It doesn't matter if they can't take Yangpingguan, Wang Ding can't take Hanzhong anyway.
"Woo woo woo..."
On the city wall, after a month, the trumpet sound finally sounded again.
"The enemy still has five hundred steps left."
The sentry on the lookout tower waved five flags.
"The enemy still has four hundred steps left."
"The enemy still has three hundred steps left."
Gao Shun shouted: "Archers, prepare."
"The enemy still has two hundred steps left."
"Archers, shoot." Gao Shun ordered.
Two hundred steps is already within the range of the bow and arrow. It is difficult for ordinary soldiers to hit the target at such a long distance.
But at this moment, there are five thousand soldiers on the city wall shooting together, and they don't need to aim.
Five thousand arrows, as long as they are not too crooked, can always hit a few people.
Some people who are unlucky may be hit by several arrows.
Although Gao Pei had been preparing for nearly a month, he was still not as prepared as Zhang Lu.
Zhang Lu attacked for the last time, but all the ghost soldiers held small shields to guard against the arrows.
Zhang Lu spent a whole day and night testing.
And Gao Pei spent nearly a month just preparing ladders and siege vehicles.
The first round of arrow rain was surprisingly effective.
Successfully stopped the opponent's advance, and several enemy soldiers actually abandoned the ladder and fled backwards.
It was said before that the one hundred thousand ghost soldiers under Zhang Lu had no combat experience.
But now the 50,000 soldiers in Gao Pei's hands have very little combat experience, and most of them only participate in exterminating bandits.
They are also inexperienced in serious siege warfare like this.
Yizhou has been at peace for a long time.
"Keep going."
Gao Pei was supervising from behind.
They stepped over the bodies of the shot soldiers and continued to approach the city wall.
But before they had even taken fifty steps, another round of arrows shot towards them from the city wall.
Phew! Phew!......
Dense rain of arrows, with the sound of breaking through the air, fell on their heads.
This time, more soldiers were hit by the arrows, and the screams were louder.
Even the soldiers at the front didn't have a shield in their hands, let alone the people behind.
Arrows, the deadliest weapon.
Gao Pei forced his soldiers to advance. At this moment, facing the rain of arrows falling head-on, they had nowhere to hide.
Gao Pei did not back down.
His eyes were crazy, and he didn't care about the lives of the soldiers around him.
"Those who advance or retreat will be killed immediately." Gao Pei roared.
"Everyone rushes to someone, rush forward."
Compared with Zhang Lu and Zhang Wei who hid behind when they attacked, Gao Pei ignored the lives of the soldiers around him, but he did not hide behind either. Instead, he followed the soldiers and moved towards the city wall.
Gao Pei has gone crazy.
From being so high-spirited to being struggling now, his mentality has long been out of balance.
After a month of preparation, how could he fail to finish?
Especially yesterday, Zhang Wei’s expression.
That face that deserves a beating.
Gao Pei knew that if he went back in such a dejected mood today, he would definitely be laughed at by Zhang Wei. I am afraid that he would never be able to raise his head again here.
He doesn't want it.
Yang Huai is already dead. At worst, he will die as well.
At this moment, he has not yet encountered a life or death crisis. Although the rain of arrows falling from the city wall is dense, it cannot threaten him.
The arrows fired by ordinary soldiers were inferior to Xu Huang's in terms of strength and speed. Gao Pei was still able to dodge them or block them with the spear in his hand.
Perhaps only when he really faces death will Gao Pei be afraid and regretful.
Now, his mind is no longer calm enough.
"Kill, rush for someone."
Gao Pei hides among the soldiers.
Xu Huang stood on the city wall. It was not easy to find the enemy's general among fifty thousand people.
Unless the enemy general is very high-profile, wearing golden armor and riding a white horse.
Gao Pei is not so arrogant yet. The armor on his body is just an ordinary black armor. It is just thicker than ordinary soldiers and has more protection areas.
Among 50,000 soldiers, such a suit of armor is very inconspicuous.
Xu Huang looked at it for a long time, but could not see where Gao Pei was.
However, he discovered several other captains among the enemy.
Xu Huang was also rude and shot an arrow at them.
The arrows are mixed with other arrows, and the speed is faster, hitting the opponent's vital point in an instant.
Under Gao Pei's forced order, they finally approached the city wall.
As soon as the ladder came close to the city wall, it was immediately doused with kerosene, and then caught fire instantly.
Twelve ladders were pushed to the edge of the city wall with great effort. They were burned before the soldiers were ready to climb them.
In the distance, Zhang Wei looked at the burning ladder, as if he had experienced reincarnation, but this time, there was a smile on his face.
He just wanted to see Gao Pei defeated.
Who made Gao Pei think that his people were spies and wanted to kill them?
All twelve ladders were burned, but Gao Pei still did not retreat.
"Kill the first person to enter the city, reward him with a thousand gold coins, and be promoted to level three." Gao Pei shouted loudly.
But even if he gives a heavy reward at this moment, no one in the army has hope.
If Gao Pei hadn't refused to retreat, and those who retreated would have been executed, they would have turned around and ran away.
In terms of cohesion, these 50,000 soldiers are not as good as Zhang Lu's ghost soldiers, and they are more afraid of death.
They have never fought such a battle.
How can you brave the enemy's arrows and brave the enemy's arrows?
Their lives are also lives, and they don't want to die in vain.
However, Gao Pei didn't care about their thoughts at all at this moment.
Gao Pei only wanted to capture Yangping Pass, no matter what the cost.
As long as he can win Yangping Pass, he can accept any price.
On the city wall, Wang Ding looked at the enemy troops who had not retreated and said: "This is really tough."
Zhang Lu had withdrawn his troops immediately after the ladder siege vehicle was burned.
There are ladders and siege engines, and the ratio of casualties between defending and attacking the city is maintained at one to five.
Without these two siege equipment, the casualty ratio of one to ten is not an exaggeration.
