According to Wang Ping's tactical concept, it was to follow the method of attacking and seizing the county, and select a thousand people with night vision in the Wudang Fei Army, and launch a surprise attack before dawn in the early morning, striving to open the west gate of Wancheng, enter the city, and create chaos.

Then in the chaos, Wang Ping divided his troops into two ways, all the way to kill Sima Yi's mansion, and a thief to capture the king first, capture or kill Sima Yi alive, so that the Wei army was leaderless and uncommanded.

The other way is to kill the south gate, open the south gate from the inside, and welcome the Jingzhou Han army outside the city into the city.

As long as it is executed according to Wang Ping's tactical ideas, Wancheng will definitely be captured.

Even in order to ensure the success rate of the first wave of night attacks, Wang Ping decided to personally lead the team to set off, attack the city tower, and unify the command.

But so be it. From the very beginning, the siege did not go well.

In the early hours of the morning, it should be the time when people are the most sleepy, and it is also the time when they relax their vigilance.

However, Wang Ping had just climbed the city wall with more than 200 soldiers with special hook claws, and before he could officially launch the formation to occupy the landing point, he encountered the Wei army's patrol sentinels.

Wang Ping really couldn't understand why the Wei army at this point in time would still arrange patrol posts, and this patrol guard force was still a group of five people who wanted to kill five Wei soldiers in an instant in the quiet night before the early morning, when they had already been discovered by the enemy, it was almost impossible.

Therefore, the Wei army's patrol post issued a warning, alarming the other soldiers guarding the west gate, and Wang Ping had no choice but to order the torches to be lit and inform the brothers who were on standby outside the city to launch a strong attack.

Wang Ping, on the other hand, needed to take more than 200 soldiers to occupy the landing point on the city wall, so as to buy time for the follow-up Wudang Fei army to climb the city tower.

The combat effectiveness of the Wudang Fei Army is still very strong, and in a one-on-one situation, it can completely suppress the counterattack of the Wei army's soldiers, but the problem is that the Wei army is too numerous.

In order to consider just in case, Sima Yi arranged a thousand soldiers on each city tower to be on duty at night, and did not require them to stay awake all night, but only asked that when there was an emergency, 1,000 people would be guaranteed to guard the city tower, so as to buy enough time for Sima Yi to transfer troops and support.

One thousand against two hundred, the superiority in military strength makes up for the gap in individual combat power. The landing circle established by Wang Ping has been compressed smaller and smaller, and the number of Wudang Flying Army who can climb the tower to support him is also getting smaller and smaller.

Wang Ping saw that it was not a matter to go on like this, and as a qualified commander, Wang Ping immediately made a choice.

Wang Ping led fifty Wudang Fei soldiers to personally stay behind and guard the retreat route, and the other soldiers began to retreat down the rope of the hook claw, giving up the attack.

And when the Wudang Fei army around him was almost withdrawn, Wang Ping led the troops to fight back the enemy in front of him, seized the gap between the enemy's retreat and reorganized the attack, and also turned over and crossed the city wall, using the rope of the hook claw, descending and retreating.

But. When Wang Pingchu slipped to a distance of only about two zhang from the ground, the rope tied to the hook claw was cut by the Wei army.

The hook claw is not something beyond the scope of Wei Jun's understanding, plus they have been fighting each other on the city wall for so long, by what means did the Shu thieves climb up, and by what means they retreated, the Wei army saw it clearly.

Seeing that a thousand people besieged more than two hundred people, they also let the other party evacuate more than a hundred people without danger. If the remaining fifty people were run away again, not to mention Sima Yi, even the Wei army defending the city would feel shameless.

Therefore, when the last of the Wudang Fei troops began to withdraw along the hook rope, the Wei army had already surrounded them. There may not be much to do with a latte hook, but the rope tied underneath the hook can still be cut directly.

In this way, a hook claw rope was slashed by seven or eight ring head knives at the same time almost at the same time, and no matter how strong the rope was, it could not support it.

Wang Ping was lucky, he was cut by someone when he was still about two feet from the ground, and although it hurt to fall, it didn't have much impact.

As for the other non-commissioned officers who retreated slower, some of them even fell from a height of about five zhang, and they fell down hard, and they were injured if they didn't die.

And worse things are yet to come. The Wei army at the head of the city actually shot arrows at the city without hesitation at this time.

The sky is not yet fully bright, and I can't see it clearly from a distance, but under the city wall, under the light of the torches at the head of the city, I can still see it very clearly.

After the Wei army finished cutting the ropes, they found that some of the Shu thieves could still move, so they immediately sent archers to shoot arrows under the city tower.

Wang Ping relied on his battlefield instincts, and after a few rolls to avoid the shooting of arrows, he took seven or eight soldiers who could still move normally, and fled back in embarrassment under the cover of night, while most of the injured Wudang Feijun who lay on the ground and could not move could not dodge these arrows shot directly from the city wall, and they were all killed.

Although the losses in this attack were not large, only less than 100 casualties, with the failure of this night attack, it was impossible for Wang Ping to use the means of night attack to open the city gate.

Wang Ping was annoyed by this, but Sima Yi on the city tower was already scared into a cold sweat.

If he hadn't formulated a night patrol system, or if he hadn't inspected in the early morning today, he would have rushed to the West City Gate in time to unify the command and defense of the Shu thieves after discovering the surprise attack of the Shu thieves, maybe he would have opened the West City Gate and entered Wancheng.

Wang Ping didn't understand why Wancheng was so well guarded, and similarly, Sima Yi didn't understand why the Shu thieves could climb the six-zhang high Wancheng city wall without relying on any siege equipment.

The means are not very clever, but Sima Yi knows very well that among the 20,000 soldiers who guard Wancheng, to find a soldier who can do this, I am afraid there will not be more than 1,000 people.

Obviously, the Shu thieves outside the city are most likely the elite troops in the Shu thief army.

However, this elite Shu thief came from the direction of Wuguan, which really couldn't help but make Sima Yi think about it.

Even now even Sima Yi has begun to wonder if Wuguan has really been lost.

Although Wuguan is majestic and strong, and the wall is two zhang higher than the wall of Wancheng, the problem is that in the face of a sneak attack by Shu thieves like this, they can climb the city wall without relying on the help of any siege equipment. But as long as Guo Huai and Sima Shi are careless, this martial pass will not be able to hold it.

And once the Wuguan is lost, the Shu thieves in the pass will have a channel for the army to attack Wancheng, how can this Wancheng be defended? !

The life and death of Guo Huai and Sima Shi are put aside for the time being, and Sima Yi is now stationed directly on the west city gate, anxiously waiting for the dawn.

He just wanted to know now how many Shu troops had come outside the West City Gate.

If the Shu army has more than 10,000 troops, then Sima Yi should consider whether to withdraw his troops from Wancheng in advance, return to Kunyang, the main road of Yingchuan County, and block the Shu thieves from continuing to march to Luoyang with Wang Ling.

Well, it is Liu Xiu's great magister, a great meteorite technique, and a place where he called for wind and rain and defeated the main force of Wang Mang's army in one fell swoop, Kunyang.

This is a last resort, after all, if Wuguan is lost and the Shu thieves in the pass enter the pass in a big way, only Sima Yi's 20,000 people in Wancheng will not be able to stop the siege of more than 100,000 Shu thieves in any way.

Once completely besieged by Shu thieves in Wancheng, it is better to withdraw the troops in advance, preserve the vital strength, continue to block along the way, and buy time for the Son of Heaven in Luoyang.

Of course, it was not the time to strive for the rapid dispatch of reinforcements, but the time for the Son of Heaven to "move" back to Yecheng from Luoyang.

If more than 100,000 Shu thieves entered Si Li, Si Li would definitely not be able to keep it, and even because of the bad battle that Cao Xiu fought in Runan, the entire Central Plains might fall. The Son of Heaven will definitely not be able to stay in Luoyang anymore.

Just when Sima Yi had already taken the situation into account that the entire Central Plains was completely lost. It was finally dawn, and Sima Yi could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Outside the city, there are soldiers and horses of Shu thieves, but there are not many troops, only about 4,000 people.

It is always a good thing that there are no more than 10,000 troops.

Although Sima Yi still can't rule out the possibility that Wuguan has been lost, if Wuguan is there, how did this 4,000-strong Shu thief bypass Wuguan, and Sima Yi really can't figure it out when they appear here.

However, if there are only these soldiers and horses, it still can't pose a substantial threat to Wancheng.

The trick of night attack focuses on suddenness, once it loses its suddenness, as long as Sima Yi strengthens his defense, he will not be able to launch an attack with only four thousand Shu thieves.

Therefore, Sima Yi temporarily left his second son Sima Zhao to preside over the defense of the West City Gate, and he hurried to the South City Gate to deal with the attack of the Shu thieves in Jingzhou on the new day.

There, it's the big trouble.

After another day of defending the city, Sima Yi didn't have time to count the casualties in the army, so he immediately rushed to the west gate with his personal guards and asked Sima Zhao about the garrison of the west city gate and whether the Shu thieves outside the city had attacked.

And Sima Zhao's answer was: The Shu thieves not only stood still for a day, but they didn't even have any follow-up reinforcements.

This situation surprised Sima Yi again.

Only these 4,000?!

It's normal to stand still, and if 4,000 people want to attack the city during the day without any siege equipment, don't even think about it.

But there are no words for reinforcements. Could it be that Wuguan is still in his hands?!

Otherwise, it won't be a day, and there will be no Shu thieves outside the West City Gate to help!

But the problem is, if Wuguan is not lost. Where did these 4,000 people come from?!

These are 4,000 Shu thieves, not 4,000 birds, they don't have wings, and they can't fly Wuguan at all!!

Sima Yi is real, he can't figure out how this army appeared here, but the reality is in front of his eyes, and Sima Yi doesn't have time to dwell on this issue for a day, it is obvious that the commander of this army must be planning something.

Combined with the combat style of this unit, which is good at night raids, tonight is probably the time for this unit to really attack.

For this reason, Sima Yi decided that he would personally be on duty on the tower of Xicheng City, and would rather stay up all night tonight than prevent this army from launching another night attack.

Then Sima Yi stayed up all night, and the next day with a pair of panda eyes, he appeared on the tower of the south city gate again, commanding the defensive battle.

After a hard day's command, Sima Yigang wanted to go back to his mansion to rest. After all, I haven't slept for two days and one night, and Sima Yi is over forty years old, so it's a bit unbearable.

But then, Sima Zhao, who was guarding the Xicheng Tower, suddenly sent someone to report, saying that near evening, there was an abnormal movement in the Shu thief camp outside the west gate, and a force of at least 1,000 people left the camp, and the whereabouts could not be found for the time being.

When Sima Yi heard this, he immediately felt a little uneasy. Could it be that the Shu thieves didn't attack last night in order to recharge their energy and prepare to attack the city tonight?!

The more Sima Yi thought about it, the more he felt that his worries were justified, so. Sima Yi wore dark circles under his eyes and went to the West Gate again to guard.

Then another night was uneventful.

On the morning of another day, Sima Yi was about to go to the south gate to command the defensive battle, when he suddenly came back to his senses.

The gang of Shu thieves outside the West City Gate shouldn't be playing a trick to exhaust the soldiers, right?!

The Shu thief is really cunning!!
