It was the same as Tang Ping thought, because before both parties entered, they didn't know who their opponents were.
Cheng Zhijie also knew that there were masters of military use such as Li Jing, Duan Zhixuan and Qin Qiong in the upper half.
Therefore, after analyzing the terrain in the area he was guarding, he directly divided his troops to defend several important roads.
In his opinion, no matter who wants to break into his defensive area, there will be a feint attack, and then there will be a main attack.
He had to identify where the enemy's main force was based on the enemy's offensive before he could make subsequent judgments.
"Dad, what if our opponent is Brother Ping and he doesn't play according to the routine?"
"With the eight military districts in the upper half, the chance of encountering them is only one in seven." Cheng Zhijie said: "Even if it is really them, then Mr. Tang has been fighting for so many years. Can he really suppress all the troops at once?" Are you going to decide whether to live or die if you come here?"
Cheng Chu thought for a while and thought it made sense, so he stopped trying to persuade him.
Although Tang Ping's people moved forward as a group, they did not advance rashly, but moved forward cautiously bit by bit.
The luggage lasted for five days, so he made up his mind to go slowly and have a showdown on the last day.
So the people watching the game lost interest after watching it for a while.
Tang Ping and the others were advancing too slowly, and it was still early for the real battle.
After watching for three days, two of the four battlefields have already been decided.
Only Tang Ping VS Cheng Zhijie and Li Jing VS Qin Qiong are still going on.
"As a defender, the medicine master is really tight at guarding. Shu Bao has tested it probably seven or eight times in the past three days, but he hasn't found any flaws!"
"Yes, I'm afraid Shubao won't be able to bear it any longer. In the past few days, he has lost more people."
"It feels like the pharmacist has let his guard down a little. If we had taken advantage of the situation to counterattack in the battle yesterday evening, we should have won, right?"
"You can't say that. The pharmacist is not like us who can see the whole situation here, and there was nothing wrong with his judgment at the time."
"Where's Duke Ping?" A minister asked curiously.
"Still squirming in the dark!" someone replied, and then everyone laughed.
Tang Ping and the others, as the attackers, mostly lurked during the day, and waited until night to slowly move forward a few miles. The two teams had not yet met each other in the originally small battlefield.
Cheng Zhijie even thought that his opponent was lost and why he hadn't seen anyone for so long.
However, as a defender, he did not dare to send a large group of troops out to search rashly. He could only send more scouts around and wait for the enemy to approach.
And as the red defender, although the warriors are on duty, they don't know when the enemy will attack, so the pressure is still greater.
Unlike the Chang'an Military Region led by Tang Ping, except for the sentry posts during the day, everyone was sleeping soundly.
"We may encounter the enemy if we move forward." Du He looked at the map and said, "There is still a way to enter the opponent's defense area. How do we get in?"
"It's still the original plan!" Tang Ping said firmly: "Let's use our advantage to fight and press ALLIN directly from the wide place in the middle!"
"Okay!" During the march, the most taboo thing is that the generals have different opinions.
Now that Tang Ping has decided, Du He, as deputy general, will support him unconditionally.
Waiting until nightfall, Tang Ping gave the order: "Everyone rushes directly from the middle. After finding the location of the enemy's commander's camp, launch a charge with the commander's camp as the target!"
"Here!"
The Chang'an army, which had been dormant for several days, began to accelerate and soon entered the investigation range of Cheng Zhijie's scouts.
But because it was night, we could only know that there was an army coming, but we didn’t know how many there were specifically.
After quickly reporting back, all the defenders on this side were awakened and came out of camp to defend.
Cheng Zhijie's garrison on this side only had 1,500 people. After knowing that the enemy was attacking, Cheng Zhijie did not dare to be careless. He transferred some troops from other places and almost 2,500 people were guarding this side.
He was afraid that this was a feint attack, and it would be troublesome if another large army came in with empty troops from other directions.
But who knew that Tang Ping's entire army pressed forward with all his might. Originally, the Chang'an Army's combat effectiveness was slightly stronger, and they had the advantage of strength, especially since Tang Ping's thousand musketeers were all here.
Just one encounter caused red lights to light up on many soldiers.
At this time, Cheng Zhijie already knew that all the opponent's troops must be here, so he quickly mobilized his troops from the flanks to the center, intending to attack the center of Tang Ping's army and cut them off and surround them.
However, because they lost the opportunity, as soon as Tang Ping's Tang army broke through the defense on this side, they rushed towards the discovered commander's camp without even expanding their victory.
Cheng Zhijie resisted desperately, but he was unable to match this local force, and was soon taken away from the command flag.
"Yeah, I won!" Du He happily gave Tang Ping a high-five.
Cheng Zhijie walked out with a dark face: "It turns out it's you, Mr. Tang, you are so shameless!"
"Why am I cheating? Du He and I attacked openly." Although he took advantage of Chang'an's army's slightly superior combat power, he was very happy that Tang Ping could defeat a famous general of the Tang Dynasty like Cheng Zhijie.
It can only be said that the strategy he chose was too correct. Cheng Zhijie thought too much, but he rushed in instead.
"Hahaha, we can win in this case. You have to believe us, Tang Ping." Li Yuanji and the others did not expect that the ending would come so suddenly, and that it would be Tang Ping who won the final victory.
A minister asked beside Li Shimin: "If other war zones later learn Ping Guogong's tactics, wouldn't it be unsolvable?"
"How is that possible?" Li Shimin said with a smile: "If Old Man Cheng can unite and attack directly, Tang Ping will not be his opponent in an encounter with the same strength."
Just when Tang Ping's side won the victory, Li Jing's side suddenly took the initiative and found Qin Qiong's main force.
After the two sides collided directly, Qin Qiong gradually fell into a disadvantage and finally failed.
At the end of the first half of the competition, Tang Ping and the others returned to the viewing camp.
Cheng Zhijie walked into the camp wiltingly and took a few sips of water angrily.
"Haha, Duke Lu Guo lost?" Duan Zhixuan came over and asked with a smile.
"What's wrong? You can't lose?" Cheng Zhijie asked unconvinced.
"Haha, I lost too!" Duan Zhixuan continued to say with a smile.
"You also lost? Who is your opponent?" Cheng Zhijie knew that although Duan Zhixuan might be a little less famous, his ability to use troops was definitely not inferior to his own.
"The opponent is Li Ji, but the one commanding the other side is Li Zhen." Duan Zhixuan shook his head: "Although that kid can't recognize the road or the direction, he is really unambiguous in fighting. It's like the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead!"
"So why are you angry even if you lose? The Tang Dynasty will eventually be handed over to them, can't we rest assured?"
