If Wang Ping led the Wudang Fei army five years ago, then Zhang Fei's question was still right, Wang Ping really did not have the certainty of storming the city.

At that time, although the combat power of the Wudang Flying Army was already quite good, all kinds of drills were not completely completed, and even in terms of combat ideas, they still used themselves as elite infantry.

At most, it's just one more mountain-climbing skill.

This is not only the non-commissioned officer of the Wudang Flying Army, but also the commander Wang Ping, who also thinks so.

That's why there was a later battle with the Wei army all the way from Sanguan to Meixian.

But in fact, Zhang Xi's original concept of Wudang Feijun's combat concept should not be like this.

The Wudang Flying Army should be a special operations force that is good at running thousands of miles, sneak attacks, sabotage, infiltration, and even carrying out decapitation operations, and this army should not compete head-on with the enemy.

Therefore, after the Wudang Flying Army suffered heavy losses in the first battle, Zhuge Liang rebuilt the Wudang Flying Army on the one hand, and on the other hand, he also took advantage of the time in Chang'an to carefully discuss with Zhang Xi about the operational concept of the Wudang Flying Army.

Zhuge Liang was actually not very satisfied with the first combat results of the Wudang Flying Army.

Since then, the combat drills of the Wudang Flying Army have not been practiced as an elite infantry who are good at climbing mountains, but as a special unit of troops that are good at penetration.

Of course, the main credit for this has to be Zhuge Liang's.

In fact, Zhang Xi was only responsible for proposing such operational concepts, truly implementing these operational concepts, formulating drill projects, and equipping the Wudang Flying Army with exclusive combat ordnance, all of which were handled by Zhuge Liang.

It can be said that today's Wudang Flying Army is not the same concept as the Wudang Flying Army five years ago.

Therefore, Wang Ping believes that if it is an infiltration and sneak attack, it is not difficult to attack the county.

Even, even if the whereabouts are really discovered, with the current fierce battle in Nanyang, there will not be too many troops left behind in Xixian County.

Even if it is a strong attack, Wang Ping is sure.

And Wang Ping said so, Jiang Wan naturally had no objections, but Zhang Fei was still a little hesitant.

It's not that Zhang Fei didn't want to send Wang Ping to take risks, but Zhang Fei asked Wang Ping a question.

"In that case, can you take Wancheng directly?!"

Zhang Fei's question not only surprised Wang Ping a little, but even Jiang Wan and Wu Yi were a little stunned.

How to talk about Wuguan, Zhang Fei suddenly jumped to Wancheng.

The person who reacted the fastest was Jiang Wan, a person from a civil official background, who was valued by Zhuge Liang after all, although he was not sharp enough because of his lack of experience, but as soon as Zhang Fei said this, Jiang Wan immediately reacted.

What is the purpose of these people attacking Wuguan?!

Isn't it just so that after conquering the Wuguan, you can directly threaten the flank of Wancheng?!

If the Wudang Flying Army led by Wang Ping can still have the ability to attack the city after crossing Wuguan, then why do you have to fight Wuguan, directly attack Wancheng from the flank, and cooperate with General Guan in front to directly attack Wancheng, isn't it better?!

But this difficulty is not the difficulty of sneak attack and attack the county.

Wuguan is still a big distance from Wancheng, and there is still a county and a county in the middle, at least a distance of nearly 100 miles, and it is too difficult to sneak attack Wancheng directly and quietly.

However, it is not that there is no room for discussion of this operational idea.

As soon as Zhang Fei said this, Jiang Wan reminded him, Wang Ping and Wu Yi also reacted, and they began to consider the possibility of this kind of combat thinking.

For the sake of supply, Wang Ping believed that even with the leg strength and wilderness survival ability of the Wudang Flying Army, if he wanted to run more than 100 miles after crossing the Wuguan Mountains, even if he could complete such a marching task in a surprise attack on Wancheng, he might not be able to complete the corresponding combat mission.

The grain and grass you carry with you can't last so long.

And Wu Yi also believes that it is indeed too difficult to ensure that thousands of troops, passing through two counties along the way, but also to ensure that no one detects, since it is destined to be impossible to guarantee secrecy, it is better to directly attack Xixian from the beginning, take one by surprise, and wait until the capture of Xixian County, and then Wang Ping will formulate a combat strategy according to the actual situation.

In short, it is to give Wang Ping great autonomy in the use of troops, and let him decide for himself, whether to cooperate with Zhang Feijun in front of him to attack Wuguan, or choose to continue to attack Wancheng.

On the main side, Wu Yi suggested that ten days after Wang Ping sent his troops, he would start a strong attack on Wuguan to attract the attention of the Wuguan defenders and try to hold back the Wuguan defenders.

Zhang Fei finally made his own decision according to Wang Ping and Wu Yi's ideas, combined with Jiang Wan's opinions.

The soldiers in the battalion continued to go up the mountain to chop firewood, pretending to find the mountain path, in order to paralyze Guo Huai on the Wuguan, but in fact, the Wudang Fei army led by Wang Ping was reduced to zero, and began to assemble in the mountain under the cover of chopping wood.

After the 5,000 Wudang Flying Army was assembled, they immediately began to cross the Wuguan Mountains and attack the county behind Wuguan.

This is Zhang Fei's real plan.

And Guo Huai, this time he really didn't notice Zhang Fei's plan.

But if you want to say that Guo Huai is not well prepared, it doesn't seem right.

Guo Huai actually knows a lot about the special arms in these years.

There are halberd soldiers, white horse righteous servants, tiger and leopard riders, and white soldiers, no matter what their names are or what types of troops, these elite troops are still elite troops fighting head-on, and they are nothing more than stronger in combat effectiveness.

Guo Huai never thought that there was still a force that was good at climbing mountains and infiltrating operations within the enemy army in these years.

This kind of combat concept really does not meet the definition of special elite troops in these years, except for a certain crossing turtle and the prime minister who likes whimsical ideas, no one really takes this combat method seriously.

Guo Huai, as a famous general and the commander of the front line, did not even notice that there were 5,000 Han troops who had crossed the mountains and crossed the mountains and made a detour to the rear to sneak attack Xi County, how could the county order of Xi County find out.

The geographical location of Xixian County is about 100 miles west of Wancheng, and about 40 miles away from Wuguan.

In this position, there is a Wuguan on the west side, and the Shu thieves can't enter without breaking the Wuguan, and there is Wancheng on the east side.

Even in other words, if even Wuguan and Wancheng can't stop the attack of the Shu thieves, then what can a county with just one county stop it?!

The county order of Xixian County actually wants to open it, as long as the Shu thieves can break through the Wuguan or Wancheng and the soldiers come to the city, then he will surrender directly.

If it can't be broken, then he is in Xixian County, even if he is not far from the front line, he is still as stable as Mount Tai.

Therefore, Xixian does not seem to be affected by the war between the two sides at all, and the work of working with military affairs on weekdays may be just to transfer the grain and grass transported from Wancheng to Wuguan.

But Wancheng is now in a big war, and its own grain and grass are not enough, and Wuguan is Xiongguan, and it has always had the habit of hoarding grain and grass regularly during non-war times, so as soon as the two sides start a war, the county order of Xixian County has nothing to do.

Therefore, when Wang Ping attacked and broke through the county, and when the county magistrate captured the county commander in the county yasheng, the county magistrate had not reacted yet, and almost treated Wang Ping as a reinforcement of the Wei army.

And this, you can't blame this county magistrate for being confused, it is really Wang Ping's method of attacking and breaking through Xixian County, which is completely different from the previous way of attacking the city.

The general siege method is that one side of the general leads the troops, and the soldiers come to the city, using siege equipment to break through the city gate, or after the city wall battle occupies a city wall, the soldiers climb the city wall, and then go down to the inner city gate to fight for the city gate.

Either way, the final result is to open the city gates, enlarge the troops into the city, and finally capture the city.

The method used by Wang Ping is also this way of seizing the city gate, but the method of combat is completely different from that of ordinary soldiers.

Wang Ping did not attack the city during the day, but chose to launch the siege some time before the early morning, before dawn.

The so-called darkness before dawn is not only about the sky, but also about the time period when everyone sleeps the deepest, coupled with the large number of night blindness patients unique to this era, resulting in this time period, it is the time when the defenders of the city are the most lax.

And Wang Ping grasped this point, arranged for some soldiers in the army who were not troubled by night blindness, secretly approached the city wall of Xixian County, and then hooked the side of the city wall with the hook claw of Wudang Feijun, and climbed the city wall as high as five zhang with his bare hands.

This is a specially trained siege method for the Wudang Flying Army, which is really difficult for ordinary soldiers, but for the Wudang Flying Army, it is a trick that everyone must master.

When these soldiers climbed the city wall, they would quickly cross the city wall, rush to the city gate before the enemy found out their whereabouts, kill the defenders guarding the city gate, open the city gate, and meet the army into the city.

The defenders of the county county, because of their carelessness from the beginning of the county order, did not expect to be attacked at all, plus they did not expect the enemy to launch an attack in the early morning, and by the time these defenders found the enemy, Wang Ping had already led a large army into the city.

In this way, Wang Ping took the county lightly without blood, and obtained supplies in the county.

Next, Wang Ping should consider whether to send troops to attack Wancheng or counterattack Wuguan.
