Wang Ping's idea was good, but during the actual operation, the Wudang Feijun led by Wang Ping was discovered by the Wei army's envoys and scouts.
There was no other way. Carrying out a sneak attack on the enemy's territory was inherently risky, and Wang Ping didn't expect to catch the enemy by surprise like Duyo did.
After dealing with the remnants of the Wei army and some scouts along the way, Wang Ping ordered to advance as quickly as possible, trying to storm the South Gate before the South Gate defenders or the Wancheng commander could react.
But when Wang Ping actually arrived at the south gate, there were already a thousand Wei troops waiting in formation in front of him, blocking the south gate and guarding the south gate.
Wang Ping's combat purpose was finally exposed.
Chen Ying, the guard of the south gate, had received the news from the military envoy and learned that a troop of about 500 people was rapidly approaching the south gate.
Chen Ying, I guess, was born in the Yingchuan Chen family and was related to Sikong Chen Qun of the Great Wei Dynasty.
Although Chen Ying was rated as having average abilities in Sima Yi's mouth, this was only relative to people like Sima Yi and Sima Zhao. Compared with generals who were born as generals, people like Chen Ying who came from a family had less knowledge in terms of knowledge. , it must be more than one step higher.
Therefore, when Chen Ying learned that there were Shu thieves who wanted to take advantage of the chaos to approach the south gate, the first thing she thought of was to strengthen the defense of the south gate and let her general Pi lead a team of thousands to set up defenses inside the south gate to block the sneak attack of the Shu thieves.
By the way, Chen Ying also quickly sent a messenger to inform Sima Yi of the current battle situation at the south gate, hoping that Sima Yi would lead reinforcements as soon as possible.
Then there is no more.
What else? !
Chen Ying was about to face Deng Ai's attack. At this time, Deng Ai only led 10,000 people and used ladders and hook ladders to attack. Chen Ying was already in a hurry. He could think that Shu thieves might sneak attack the city gate and take the initiative to strengthen it. The city gate defense is already much stronger than that of ordinary generals.
Can you still expect Chen Ying to be able to support Wang Kuanglan at this time, block the Jingzhou army's attack in the front, block Wang Ping's sneak attack in the back, and hold on until Sima Yi leads the troops to help? !
If he had this ability, he would not be rated as "average ability" by Sima Yi. He did not panic on the spot and cause chaos in the defenders. This is already a reflection of the ability of Chen Ying's family background.
Another thing is that although Chen Ying strengthened the defense of the city gate, Chen Ying really didn't pay much attention to the five hundred Shu thieves who came to attack.
There are ten thousand people attacking from the front, and tens of thousands more may come at any time, but there are only five hundred people behind him, and he has arranged a thousand people to defend. It's obvious who is more important and who is more important, right? !
Therefore, Chen Ying did not pay too much attention to the Wudang Fei army led by Wang Ping. He just handed it over to a general to command and intercept these people. Chen Ying's main focus was on how to compete with the Jingzhou army for Wengcheng. Take control of the city wall.
The Jingzhou army is difficult to fight. Although Chen Ying has used all her abilities to resist the Shu thieves' attack, the Shu thieves have already occupied a suitable landing point and are constantly climbing up the city wall.
Now on the city wall, the Wei army still has a strength advantage, but as more and more Shu thieves climb up the city wall, this advantage will become smaller and smaller. Therefore, all Chen Ying's attention is now on how to reduce the number of Shu thieves. Within the landing area, try to drive the Shu thieves off the city wall again as much as possible.
Chen Ying's brain couldn't tolerate dual-threaded operations, so she could only focus on one side.
And this gave Wang Ping a chance.
Five hundred versus one thousand is difficult, but with the combat effectiveness of the flying army, it is not impossible to fight.
Chen Ying thought that those who came were just five hundred Shu thieves who took advantage of the chaos to attack. She never thought that this inconspicuous team was the unworthy flying army that could stand up to the Central Forbidden Army of the Wei Dynasty.
In addition, Du Yue was worthy of being taught by Wang Ping. Wang Ping could also use the tactics Du Yue used.
To capture the thief, capture the king first.
The difference is that it is relatively easy for Du Yue to attack and kill the Wei army captain in a sneak attack. After all, the captain must fight on the front line, but it is not as difficult for Wang Ping to attack and kill the Wei army general.
General Pi, commanding a thousand men to fight, must be waiting in formation. He is commanding the battle from behind the formation.
Therefore, if Wang Ping wants to kill this general in one battle, he must lead his troops to break through the interception of the peripheral Wei army and go straight to the rear army where General Pi is located. Only in this way can he be killed.
To achieve this, there are not only sufficient requirements for personal bravery, but also extremely high requirements for Wang Ping's command level.
Fortunately, Wang Ping led an elite and useless flying army.
Although Wang Ping has always been emphasized by Zhuge Liang and Zhang Xi that Wudang Feijun should not be used for frontal attacks, but now the situation is like this. If you don't attack frontally, what can you do?
Therefore, Wang Ping directly led the troops and took the initiative to launch an attack on the Wei army.
As for the general of the Wei army on the opposite side, he didn't expect Wang Ping to immediately launch a strong attack without any hesitation at first. He didn't even take the initiative to form a formation. He seemed a little surprised.
And then, I didn't expect that the small group of Shu thieves who were not in formation, after breaking into their well-prepared military formation, actually broke through the first line of defense they had established, just like chopping melons and vegetables. , directly disrupted the first line of defense and turned it into a chaotic battle. Is this something done by humans? !
Especially the Shu thieves general was so brave that he was unreasonable. So far, none of the Wei soldiers standing in front of him could withstand his blow.
When it was time to adjust the response twice in a row, Wei Jun's general was hesitating. Coupled with his timidity, the general hesitated in responding to the battle and did not immediately close the formation to defend the center and protect his own. Safety.
Wang Ping took advantage of this time difference and slashed all the way, until he was about to reach less than twenty steps in front of General Pi. At this time, General Bi reacted belatedly.
Did you come to kill me? !
After understanding the intention of the Shu thief opposite him, General Pi immediately swallowed his saliva.
What kind of fool would go head-to-head with this murderer? If I can't beat him, why can't I run away? ! !
This general did not have the courage to fight with Wang Ping on the battlefield, so he chose to "retreat."
Well, in fact, this is not something unacceptable on the battlefield. You cannot expect all generals to lead the way or be brave. If you ask Zhang Xi to fight with someone, he will be killed by someone's sword.
This was not a bad choice. The really bad thing was that the general did not reorganize his soldiers to establish a defense line and defend the city gate after retreating to distance himself.
This general chose to retreat to the tower and ask Chen Ying for help.
To put it mildly, it's a cry for help, but in reality it's just an escape.
Wang Ping took a look, is there such a good thing? !
Then don't be polite, just lead the troops all the way, completely breaking through the interception defense line in front of you and entering the city gate cave.
Then, as usual, more than thirty people were assigned to open the city gate. The remaining people formed a defensive formation on the spot to block the Wei army's counterattack to retake the city gate.
As for Chen Ying, Chen Ying had his sword drawn out. He really wanted to kill his general.
You were asked to lead a thousand men to guard the city gate. You let five hundred men break through, and you dared to escape without telling him? !
Really, if it weren't for the fact that this general was Chen Ying's nephew, Chen Ying would really have killed him to vent his anger.
But unfortunately, it can't be cut.
Moreover, now that the Shu thieves have broken through the interception and are struggling to open the city gate, Chen Ying also knows the seriousness of the matter. He has no time to compete with his generals now, so he quickly leads his bodyguards down to the city gate and starts again. He organized the panicked Wei army under the city and launched a battle to retake the city gate.
As long as the South Gate is retaken before General Sima arrives, there will be some room for mediation in the matter of his nephew's escape. If he cannot take it back, then his own life will not be saved, let alone his nephew's. .
Therefore, Chen Ying was really aggressive now. After reorganizing Wei's soldiers, she immediately launched a counterattack on the city gate cave.
But, I can’t chew it, I really can’t chew it.
Although the Wudang Feijun emphasized the importance of infiltration operations after its second reconstruction, and the focus of training was infiltration operations, Wang Pingke never forgot to maintain the ability of the first Wudang Feijun to fight head-on.
If you can only fight penetration warfare and cannot fight frontal defensive warfare, then you are not considered an elite.
The only thing that makes Wang Ping a little worried is that although the Wudang Feijun has been trained in frontal combat capabilities, there are very few opportunities for actual combat. Wang Ping is actually a bit worried. The soldiers are used to cooperating in chaotic battles and have insufficient experience in cooperating in frontal combat. , will affect combat effectiveness.
But fortunately, the Wei army that Wang Ping encountered now were just ordinary county soldiers of the Wei state. Moreover, they were defeated by Wang Ping once and their morale was seriously damaged.
Although Chen Ying has about 800 offensive troops at hand, while Wudang Feijun still has more than 400 troops left. The military strength comparison is almost two to one, but the personal combat power and morale of the two sides are not at the same level at all. The presence.
For a while, Chen Ying really couldn't get through the defense line Wudang Feijun had temporarily set up, let alone recapture the city gate.
Therefore, under Wang Ping's command and persistence, Wudang Feijun easily withstood the first wave of attacks commanded by Chen Ying, and at the same time, opened the south gate of Wancheng.
Then, Wang Ping was dumbfounded. Outside the south gate, there was an urn city.
This development was something Wang Ping did not expect.
Wang Ping came in through the west gate of Wancheng, and there was no urn at the west gate of Wancheng.
How come we got here at the South Gate and the Wengcheng? !
What to do? !
Do you want to just kill them all the way and even open the gate of Wengcheng? !
I only have more than 400 people. If I kill and open the gate of Wengcheng, let alone how many people will be shot by the Wei army on the tower along the way, and just say that I lead the troops there, who will guard the gate of the south city? !
If the Wei army followed behind and closed the South City Gate, wouldn't it be equivalent to being imprisoned in the Wengcheng? !
Wang Ping was really dumbfounded. He kept thinking about countermeasures and what to do.
At this time, Chen Ying saw Wang Ping's predicament, but she didn't feel any complacency.
Because Chen Ying's current situation is not much better than Wang Ping's.
Chen Ying took her guards down to the city tower to counterattack the south gate, leaving the Wei soldiers on the tower without command. At this time, the Shu bandits outside the south gate seemed to have received enough reinforcements, and the attack became more fierce.
On the city wall, the landing area for Shu thieves has expanded again.
Now Chen Ying is actually in a dilemma.
Let's continue to direct the counterattack on the south city gate here. Let's not talk about whether we can fight or not, the city tower will be lost.
Once the city tower is lost and the barbican city loses its meaning of existence, then it seems that it will not mean much whether the south city gate counterattack is successful.
For this reason, Chen Ying had to leave the counterattack on the South City Gate to her nephew to take command, and she had to rush back to the tower as soon as possible to take command of the war there.
Of course, before leaving, Chen Ying warned her unlucky nephew in a low voice - if you run away this time, come to me for help and I will kill you first! ! !
