Wang Ping didn't know whether Guan Yu understood his combat intentions now, but regardless of whether Guan Yu understood it or not, Wang Ping still had to follow his established plan.
Continue to pack people into Wancheng.
But, it's getting harder and harder.
As the Wei troops patrolling outside the West City Gate became more and more frequent, it became very difficult for Wang Ping to take advantage of the patrol breaks to send people inside.
Moreover, there are fewer and fewer soldiers in the army who have night vision and can adapt to night fighting. These days, it is not easy to keep up with nutrition, and there is also a shortage of effective means to treat night blindness.
There aren't enough spices and seasonings these days, so people would only eat things like animal offal with their noses pinched under real famine conditions. Anyone who had rice or corn at home wouldn't eat it.
As for carrots, well, Zhang Xi has not found seeds of this kind of thing from the Western Regions until now.
Well, I'm going too far again.
In short, after continuing to send more than a hundred Wudang flying troops into Wancheng City, considering that the Wei army's defenses turned out to be tighter, continuing to send people inside would only increase casualties. In this case, Wang Ping suspended his march to Wancheng. City infiltration plan.
Next, it depends on whether the Wudang Feijun who have penetrated into Wancheng can create greater chaos than two days ago.
Setting fire to buildings in the city to create chaos is just the basics. This is not the only training content of Wudang Feijun.
At this time, Wang Ping was not in charge within Wancheng. What he could do was limited and he could only wait.
At this time, the Wudangfei soldiers who sneaked into Wancheng also encountered a lot of trouble.
After Sima Yi realized the role of Wudang Feijun, he mobilized troops from the west gate and east gate. Some soldiers guarded the water source and did not give Wudang Feijun a chance to poison the water source. Most of the remaining soldiers stepped up their attack on the city. patrols and inspections.
Especially the number of night patrols is obviously higher than before.
This made Wudang Feijun feel like he had no idea what to do.
And in this case, there will always be impatient soldiers who take risks and do something risky.
Don't think of these unworthy soldiers as the well-trained special forces of later generations. They may have learned some superficial knowledge of special operations, but the most important organization and discipline cannot be compared with later generations of special operations forces.
In this situation where the enemy has obviously strengthened patrols and inspections, but the range of activities is getting smaller and smaller, some people will definitely lose their composure and take risks.
There were about five squad leaders operating in the nearby area. They summoned soldiers from the nearby Wudang Flying Army and gathered about thirty people to prepare for a sneak attack on Sima Yi's mansion.
There is nothing these people can do. The area where they operate happens to be close to Sima Yi's mansion. The inspections here are the most stringent. The soldiers of the Wudang Flying Army do not even dare to show up during the day. They can only come out to look for some supplies at night. However, If you do it too often, you will inevitably be spotted by the patrolling garrison in the city, making it increasingly difficult to move around.
Therefore, these people, summoned by the squad leader, felt that instead of being discovered by the patrolling Wei army and being surrounded, it would be better to take a risk and assassinate Sima Yi who was not far away.
If they fail, they will just die in battle, but if they succeed, then they will have made a great contribution. If they can survive, it will not be a problem to be granted a title. Even if they do not survive, their family will have prosperity and wealth for the rest of their lives. Guaranteed.
Just thinking about it, these thirty soldiers who were not worthy of flying troops launched an assassination operation against Sima Yi.
Then. There will be no more.
This group of soldiers had just climbed over the courtyard wall of Sima Yi's mansion when they were surrounded by more than 300 soldiers.
Sima Yi, an old fox, had long expected that someone would launch an assassination raid on his mansion, so he had deployed 300 elite troops to garrison the mansion early. Even Sima Zhao didn't know which room he slept in every night, so he was very prepared. of sufficient.
Therefore, the Wudang Feijun who launched the assassination raid this time, except for six soldiers who were supporting the soldiers in the rear and escaped, the rest of the soldiers were not spared and all were killed.
More than 20 Wudang Feijun were lost in one fell swoop, which was a big blow to the Wudang Feijun who had sneaked into the city. Less than 300 people had infiltrated in total, and one-tenth of them were lost in one fell swoop.
This is not the most troublesome thing. The most troublesome thing is that this assassination triggered a new round of manhunt in the city.
As the manhunt in the city became more and more intensive, more and more Wudangfei soldiers became impatient. From time to time, some people took risks, and were finally surrounded by the Wei army and unfortunately died in battle.
However, within two or three days, Wudang Feijun lost another twenty soldiers.
The remaining Wudangfei sergeants who were still lurking were living an even more miserable life.
Seeing that the situation seemed to be getting worse and worse, the remaining Wudang Feijun were somewhat at a loss. At this moment, a Wudang Feijun captain named Du Yue stood up.
He first used secret communication methods to find the four team captains nearby, and then made some remarks.
"Now when we disperse, we die, when we gather together, we die, and when we wait for death, how can we live in a country of death?!"
Well, it is obvious that the captain named Du Yue is very educated. At least he should have read "Historical Records: The Chen She Family".
Unfortunately, his soldiers were uneducated and couldn't understand it at all.
Duyo did not pretend to be a cultured person, so he had to repeat what he meant in vernacular.
According to Du Yue's intention, if he continues to lurk like this, sooner or later he will be picked out by this group of patrol soldiers from the Wei State, and then defeated one by one. In this case, it is better for everyone to gather together and fight.
At this time, the unworthy flying army in the city were in a state of being leaderless, and they were being forced more and more tightly by the tight patrols of the Wei army. Some people took the initiative to stand up and make decisions, and their official positions were higher than everyone else. This group had almost no choice. Most of the Wudangfei soldiers chose to obey orders.
In addition, in fact, Du Yue is not an ordinary person. He has some background.
Du Yue was born in Bajun, and his father was Du Yi, the leader of Bajun in those days.
After Cao Cao attacked Hanzhong and defeated Yangping Pass, Zhang Lu planned to join Du Yi, Pu Hu and others at Yan Pu's suggestion. However, halfway through, Zhang Lu changed his mind and decided to surrender to Cao Cao.
The reason was also because Du Yi, Pu Hu and others were unwilling to become enemies of Cao Cao. They even organized tribesmen to prepare to go north and surrender to Cao Cao together.
It happened that at this time, Liu Bei ended the demarcation of the Xiang River with Sun Quan and returned to the army in time to meet Zhang Lu. Pioneer Huang Quan led the troops and directly defeated the troops of Du Yi and Pu Hu.
Du Yi and Pu Hu took the remnants of their troops and went north to join Cao Cao. Cao Cao also gave them the honorary title of Marquis. But there was a small problem. Du Yue's youngest son, Du Yue, was killed by Huang Quan in the rebellion. Captured.
Logically speaking, at this time, half of the Bajun people had followed Du Yu northward, and the remaining half had also hid in the mountains. Du Yue's value was not high. Whether he lived or died depended on Liu Bei. in a moment.
But everyone knows Liu Bei's character. He has always been generous and kind. In addition, Du Yi's prestige among the people is too high. Although he is gone, his prestige is still there.
Out of the need to stabilize the people, and because Du Yue was only a child in his early ten years at the time, Liu Bei, no matter how tyrannical he was, would not attack a child.
Therefore, Du Yue stayed like this. Later, when Zhang Xi was in charge of Badong County, Wang Ping led his people out of the mountains to surrender. Zhang Xi simply asked Zhuge Liang for a favor and handed Du Yue over to Wang Ping to take care of him. .
Zhang Xi trusted Wang Ping's loyalty, and Du Yue grew up slowly under Wang Ping's care, studying and literacy with Wang Ping's son Wang Xun.
As for appearing in the Wudang Feijun, that was also Du Yue's own request.
After all, Du Yi has not sent anyone to Shuzhong to pick up Du Yue for so many years, or even sent someone to contact him privately. Du Yue himself has almost forgotten that he still has such a father.
In his heart, he almost regarded Wang Ping as his biological father.
Another thing is that Du Yue was captured by Huang Quan when he was in his early ten years, so he still has memories, knows his origins, and knows how difficult it is for a Han to stand out in the Han army. Therefore, he also needs to be strong enough. His military exploits allowed him to gain a foothold in Shu, and he could not always rely on Wang Ping's protection.
Although Du Yue regards Wang Ping as his father in his heart, Wang Ping has a biological son after all. In the future, Wang Ping's family business will also belong to his good brother Wang Xun. Du Yue understands this very clearly.
If you want to have your own family business, you have to earn it yourself.
In this way, Du Yue strongly begged Wang Ping to join the Wudang Fei Army and became a captain in the Wudang Fei Army.
Of course, Wang Ping really had no intention of sending Du Yue into the city for this latent operation. After all, it was the child he took care of, and he was the son of Du Yue, a former leader of the people. From a selfish point of view, Wang Ping would not let Du Yue go. Duyo ventured into the city.
But Duyo was also in his early twenties, and he happened to have a half-length backbone. He was not going to let go of such a good opportunity to make contributions.
This was also the reason why most of the Wudang flying troops lurking into the city were led by temporary team captains, but suddenly there was a school captain like Du Yue.
Without telling Wang Ping, Du Yue personally selected four soldiers with good connections and sneaked into the city secretly.
Originally, this incident made Wang Ping so angry that he even considered whether he should deal with this kid in accordance with military law when he came back, so that he would have a long memory and know that military orders in the army were not so easy to disobey.
But that is for the future. Now, Duyo's identity and official position play a very important role.
His status as the son of Du Yi and the adopted son of Wang Ping enhanced his reputation in the Wudang Fei Army, and his official position as a school lieutenant gave him the qualification to command the remaining Wudang Fei soldiers.
In this way, under Du Yue's urgent contact, the Wudangfei soldiers lurking in the city began to communicate with each other. After nightfall, under the cover of darkness, they slowly gathered towards the northwest corner of Wancheng.
And there is where the Wei army hoarded food and grass.
