Chapter 172: The Sichuan Army is tragic, Gao Pei surrenders
"General, what should I do?"
Gao Pei's generals were asking for Gao Pei's opinions. Now the Wuling army has begun attacking and they cannot sit still and wait for death. Even if they are in trouble and surrounded by the enemy, they have no intention of surrender. The Sichuan army only obeys the general's orders.
The Wuling Army invaded Xichuan, which was to invade their homes. No matter how nice the excuse sounded, it could not change this fact.
As a later generation, Wu Shun naturally knew the tradition of the Sichuan Army in Yizhou. It was a soldier who would not surrender no matter under various disadvantages. However, Wu Shun had to take over Xichuan, and he must conquer these soldiers. The Sichuan Army would be even stronger in his hands!
Hearing the inquiry from General Gui, Gao Pei closed his eyes. Tears fell from the corners of his eyes. He didn't want to fight. Once he fought, how many people could survive in these five thousand soldiers? But if he didn't fight, he would not have the chance to let Liu Zhang know about the loss of Yangping Pass! The consequences would be even more serious!
"It's passed on my order, and the back team will become the front team and break through with all their might!"
Gao Pei opened his eyes suddenly and yelled and gave an order!
The Sichuan Army, who received the order, immediately changed its formation and attacked the Wuling Army in the rear with all its might!
The one who blocked the road behind was Zhang Xiong's White Tiger Camp, which Xu Shu had arranged long ago. The Sichuan Army knew that there was an ambush and would definitely break through with all its might. Only the White Tiger Camp could resist such a crazy attack!
Two-thirds of the soldiers of the White Tiger Camp were concentrated here. The Sichuan Army had not fought with the White Tiger Camp yet, so naturally they did not know how the White Tiger Camp fought.
"kill!"
Although the soldiers of the Sichuan Army were deeply encircled, their morale was still high. They fought against the Southern Barbarians and Qiang people all year round, and the Sichuan Army's fighting spirit was only stronger than that of the Wuling Army! What they lacked was only more sophisticated weapons and equipment.
"put!"
When Zhang Xiong saw the enemy rushing, he ordered the crossbowman to shoot volleys.
An arrow flew horizontally towards the Xichuan Army. The power of the crossbow arrows was stronger than that of the bow and arrows and faster. The Xichuan Army was shot by the bow and arrow, and there was immediately missing a piece in front of the formation, as if something had been bitten away.
The person in front was shot to death, and the person behind was not only not afraid, but was aroused by fierceness. They red eyes and launched a fierce attack on the defensive formation of the White Tiger Camp!
"Chuan Army, how magnificent! Get ready to attack!"
When Zhang Xiong saw the momentum of the Sichuan Army, he couldn't help but praise him. In addition to the Wuling Army, this was the second time that Zhang Xiong saw such a fierce and fearless army.
The Sichuan Army had 5,000 attacking in one direction, and the rest of the Wuling Army naturally did not be polite to them.
The archers' arrows were shot out in pieces, taking away fresh life. With the most elite White Tiger Camp of the Wuling Army, the White Tiger Camp, to resist head-on, the soldiers on the other three sides could naturally attack with confidence and boldness. The archers didn't even have to worry about shooting into the White Tiger Camp.
Previously, the helmet of the White Tiger Camp did not wear armor, and the arrows shot from the front might hit the vital part of the face. Now, after the efforts of the craftsmen from the weapons workshop such as Pu Yuan, the soldiers of the White Tiger Camp have become real iron lumps. Their bodies are hidden in thick armor. The places where the armor is connected are connected with special cowhide, protecting the safety of the soldiers to the greatest extent.
In this way, the archers of the Wuling Army kept shooting arrows regardless of the enemy. The Sichuan Army soon couldn't stand it. There was no way, the casualties were too great.
The White Tiger Camp strictly guarded the enemy. Although there were only more than 1,000 people, it could block the Sichuan Army's way. The Sichuan Army could not break through and was hit long-rangely in three directions. The number of people was getting smaller and smaller, and Gao Pei's heart was getting colder and colder!
Isn’t this bullying? Nearly 40,000 people surrounded him and 5,000 people, with an eight-fold gap. If the Sichuan Army had not been brave and fearless, they would have lost their fighting spirit at the beginning.
After discovering that breaking through was futile, Gao Pei was a little decadent. He thought he was not stupid, but today he ruined 5,000 elite soldiers. Maybe Baishui Pass would lose him. At this time, he really wanted to draw his sword and commit suicide, and he broke himself. However, when he saw the Sichuan Army soldiers' anger that was unwilling to admit defeat, Gao Pei softened his heart.
He died alone, so why should he take the lives of these soldiers?
"Soldiers, Gao Pei is sorry to you. Now listen to my orders, stop attacking, put down your weapons, and surrender!"
When the Sichuan Army soldiers heard such an order, they suddenly failed to react.
"Weapons at the moment, surrender!"
Gao Pei shouted loudly!
"Why, General? We won't surrender, we will fight with them!"
Many soldiers were unwilling to surrender, they would rather die in battle!
"Gao Pei, you are not worthy of being a general. Surrender to the hammer and kill me if you are not afraid of death!"
An angry general, without obeying Gao Pei's general order, rushed straight to the White Tiger Camp shield formation with dozens of soldiers who were not afraid of death!
Seeing that the Sichuan Army stopped the attack, Wu Shun immediately called for a stop. If one of such an elite soldier is missing, he will suffer a loss in the end. After he took over Yizhou, wasn’t the Sichuan Army his own soldiers? Wu Shun felt so distressed when he saw the arrow rain just now.
Zhang Xiong saw more than a dozen Sichuan troops who were not afraid of death rushed towards this side, but the one behind did not move. He knew that the Sichuan troops might have to admit defeat.
Wu Shun told him that Yizhou will sooner or later be his own territory. Most wars are mainly about contracting and declining. If it is not necessary, don’t do too much damage!
Zhang Xiong, who has always regarded Wu Shun's words as the truth, naturally would not go against his elder brother's wishes. There were only a dozen people. Zhang Xiong could easily capture them alive!
"Erniu, Zhang San, take your team and capture them alive!"
Zhang Xiong turned around and pointed out the names of two people. Immediately, two pairs of White Tiger Camps came out and rushed to the fierce dozens of Sichuan soldiers.
Facing the Iron Tuo White Tiger Camp, these dozen Sichuan soldiers were soon defeated. They were all injured on the ground and could not move.
Seeing that the dozen people were fine, Gao Pei ordered surrender again, but no one objected this time.
The Sichuan Army has strong combat power and is not afraid of death, but no one wants to die. Such a strong attack cannot open the gap in the defense of the White Tiger Camp, and they have no hope of escaping.
Seeing that the White Tiger Camp did not kill the dozen robes that were blinded by anger just now, the Sichuan Army soldiers felt that the Wuling Army was not that hateful. They surrounded them just to force them to surrender. They had no intention of killing them.
Wu Shun said that he wanted to annihilate the reinforcement army, and if the other party surrendered, it would be more effective. Gao Pei tried his best to break through, and Wu Shun also knew the reason. He just wanted to break through and report the news.
Gao Pei didn't see Wei Yan's cavalry gathering not far away. Even if a few of them could break through, they could not escape Wei Yan's attack.
How can two legs run through four legs?
"General Gao Pei, you made a wise decision!"
When Gao Pei surrendered, his personal soldiers naturally brought him to see Wu Shun. After seeing Gao Pei, Wu Shun found that this man was square and upright. He should be a good person.
"Hmph, it's just a defeated general."
Our army had something to do soon, so we chatted with General Gao. After a while, someone sent General Gao and General Wu Yi to reunite.
The Wuling Army successfully forced Gao Pei to surrender, and more than 3,000 Sichuan Army surrendered. If reorganized, the Wuling Army's combat power could be enhanced. However, this idea cannot be realized now.
Having just won the victory, the Wuling soldiers had not yet begun to celebrate, Wu Shunjia ordered the army to set off and go to Baishui Pass.
Before leaving, Wu Shun and Gao Pei borrowed a suit of armor, so Gao Pei could naturally think of what they were for.
"Well, I'm going to die soon. Just take the armor."
Just now, Wu Shun said he wanted to send Gao Pei and Wu Yi to meet. Gao Pei was obviously wrong. Wu Yi was the first to support him. Since Wu Shun could ambush him, it only means that Wu Yi failed. At this time, he sent him to meet him for a fake meeting, which was probably a companion on the road to the underworld.
After the Wuling Army set off, 10,000 soldiers were left to escort the surrendered Sichuan Army to Nanzheng County. The reason why they were not placed in Yangping Pass was because they were afraid that the Sichuan Army would cause trouble.
With Gao Pei's 3,000 surrendered troops, the Sichuan Army in Nanzheng had a total of more than 8,000 people. It was a considerable force. But where is Nanzheng? The Wuling Army's logistics base has a tight defense and has left enough soldiers. And the person responsible for escorting Gao Pei back was Xu Shu.
The tactics of Baishui Pass have been designed. With Wu Shu on the front line, Xu Shu can naturally do more important things. For example, persuading Wu Yi and Gao Pei to surrender. Wu Shu knew that he would only hit a problem when he persuaded surrender. It would be better to let someone like Xu Shu who is extremely talented and eloquent to say it. With Xu Shu staying in the rear to coordinate everything, Wu Shu felt at ease.
