Chapter 876: Attack and Defend the City Gate
Du Yo's face was not good-looking, and Sima Zhao's face was not much better.
Sima Zhao, who has been touted by everyone for a long time, has suddenly discovered the truth - in the real battlefield, he is just a rookie.
His father entrusted himself with a heavy task to guard the West Gate and guard against the thieves. In Sima Zhao's view, this is a kind of trust and a kind of recognition.
Acknowledgment of one's own abilities.
Young people in their early twenties, although they can already start a family in this era, it is still not easy for a child of a family like Sima Zhao to be recognized by his father.
But now, the Xicheng City Gate Cave has been attacked, and the Shu thieves are trying to sneak attack the City Gate Cave, open the city gate, and welcome the Shu thieves outside the city to enter the city.
And the most terrible thing is that Sima Zhao didn't expect the Shu thieves to do this, and his prediction and defense focus were all on dealing with the siege of the Shu thieves outside the city.
This face hits, snaps.
Although my father strengthened the defense of the city gate, and also formulated a rescue plan after the attack on the city gate, with the number of Shu thieves in the city, it should be unlikely that he would capture the city gate and open the city gate. But Sima Zhao couldn't hold it on his face.
was finally recognized by his father and sent to garrison Ximen, but now because of his own miscalculation, Ximen was attacked by a sneak attack. When it reached his father's ears, how could he have the face to ask his father to lead the troops into battle in the future?!
Therefore, after the emergency team set off, Sima Zhao was not idle, and immediately began to transfer the soldiers on the city tower to form a second batch of reinforcements, and asked these reinforcements to kill the sneak attack of the Shu thieves in a short time, leaving no one behind.
Yes, Sima Zhao admitted that he had an element of revenge in this wave, after all, he was in charge of military affairs for the first time in a real sense, but he had such a big basket, if he let this group of Shu thieves escape alive, then his face would be gone.
Therefore, Sima Zhao was very shameless, and sent a team of 500 people to besiege and kill the Shu thieves who attacked the city gate.
You must know that Sima Zhao has a total of 2,000 soldiers on hand, and he has to guard against the entire West City Gate Tower, and judging from the current situation, it cannot be ruled out that the Shu thieves will continue to attack the city wall.
Mobilizing a quarter of the total force at once to besiege and kill more than 100 Shu thieves who attacked the city gate cave seems to be a bit of a fuss.
Originally, Sima Zhao was still reflecting on whether he had lost his cool a little In fact, according to the plan formulated by his father, the first batch of 100 people to help should be able to hold back, and even strangle the sneak attack troops of the Shu thieves.
At this time, sending two or three hundred reinforcements over can send five hundred people over in a war, which is indeed too much of a fuss.
But at this time, the soldiers came to report, saying that the first batch of 100 soldiers who went to rescue the city gate cave according to the plan were not only unable to recapture the city gate hole, but also were killed by the Shu thieves. The Shu thieves have successfully opened the city gates.
Sima Zhao's face, which was snapped again, was almost swollen.
After all, he is also a young man in his twenties, and he has been touted and praised before, but he was slapped in the face for the first time he commanded a battle. Sima Zhao is really hot.
However, despite the fire, Sima Zhao can still keep his calm in the end, after all, it is a thing in historical time and space that can still pretend to be a thing after killing the monarch on the street, and this is still something in the city.
After a little calculation, Sima Zhao found that the Shu thieves were not only not dragged down, but they also opened the city gate. In this case, the focus of defense is not on the city walls, but on the city gates.
If the Shu thieves seized the opportunity to break through the west gate, they would not be able to stop the Shu thieves outside the city by relying on the two thousand people in their hands.
Therefore, the top priority is to quickly lead the troops to support the city gate, regain control of the city gate as soon as possible, close the city gate, and then have a chance to continue to defend it.
Sima Zhao immediately ordered to send 500 people to form a counterattack force again, and led by himself to counterattack the Chengmen Cave.
In this way, one after the other, Sima Zhao took a thousand people to assemble near the West Gate City Gate Cave and began to attack the City Gate Cave.
Duyo's face turned pale.
Although I know that the enemy army will definitely fight back, and I will definitely send people to retake the city gate, but a thousand people?!
Why don't you all want to defend the walls?!
Even if Lao Tzu descended from the gods, it was impossible to defend the attack of a thousand people with less than a hundred people.
I'm afraid that as long as there is a charge on the opposite side, the soldiers on their side should choose to flee for their lives, after all, the city gate has been opened, and if you can't fight, it's still easy to escape from the city.
If he escapes, then Duyo will really be sorry for the other hundred Wudang Flying Army brothers who took their lives to attack the granary.
Duyo was thinking wildly out of surprise, when he heard a familiar voice behind him.
"Boy, what are you panicking about, don't wait for the enemy yet!!"
As soon as he heard this familiar voice, Du Yo was stunned for a moment, and then turned around in surprise and saw the familiar black face.
"Uncle?!" Duyo was pleasantly surprised.
"How can there be relatives in the army, call a certain general !!" Wang Ping first scolded him seriously, and then, with a slight smile, patted Du Yo's shoulder, and said, "Yes, I've grown up and come out. I'll settle accounts with you when I go back, and now, line up and meet the enemy!! ”
After hearing this, Du Yo was suddenly shocked, grabbed the ring head knife in his hand, and began to greet at the same time. Well, there is no need for him to command, Wang Ping is here, and the rest of the Wudang Feijun don't need to listen to the command of a captain.
Duyo just needs to do what he has to do.
And Wang Ping didn't come alone this time, he rushed to the city gate cave with 300 reinforcements.
If you want to say why Wang Ping can come so quickly. Actually, it's not fast.
As early as when he noticed the fire in the city, Wang Ping had already ordered the whole army to get up and prepare for battle.
And he himself, even with a vanguard of three hundred people, relied on the cover of the early morning and night, and touched the distance of only about sixty paces from the west gate, just in case.
At this distance, the defenders on the city tower could not be directly detected when the sky was dark.
As a result, Wang Ping really got this opportunity.
Wang Ping just touched it, on the one hand, to investigate, on the other hand, just in case, if there is any abnormality, he can react on the spot, whether it is to respond to his brother's retreat, or to take advantage of the opportunity, he will not stay in the barracks and miss the opportunity.
In fact, Wang Ping didn't expect that the brothers in the city would be so bold that they would choose to raid the city gate, and they really let them do it, and really opened the city gate.
As soon as the city gate opened, Wang Ping did not hesitate at all, and directly took the three hundred soldiers around him, and ran all the way to the direction of the city gate, as soon as possible to pick up his brothers.
As for whether it was possible a conspiracy, Wang Ping had never seen such a conspiracy as the defenders of the city taking the initiative to open the city gate and attract the enemy into the city.
During the last night attack, Wang Ping had already reconnoitred, and there was no urn city at the west gate of Wancheng, and if he wanted to besiege himself, he had to have enough space.
And the distance of sixty steps, a distance of less than 100 meters, with the physical fitness of Wang Ping and Wudang Feijun, it would not take a minute.
Therefore, when Du You, who was still shocked by Sima Zhao's fuss and brought a thousand people to encircle and suppress him, Wang Ping had already led his troops to break through the arrow interception of the Wei army on the city tower and led his troops into the city gate.
At this time, Sima Zhao was not commanding from the city tower, and the Wei army on the city tower did not realize that Wang Ping had lurked so close with three hundred people because of the sky. After discovering it, it was too late to open the bow to intercept, and because of the sky, the accuracy of the arrows was limited, so Wang Ping really didn't have any big losses, so he took nearly 300 people into the city gate.
Then, it was the contest between Wang Ping and Sima Zhao.
Now, the balance of victory and defeat is once again tilted to the side of the big man.
Although Sima Zhao brought a thousand people to surround and kill and try to recapture the city gate, now it is no longer a Shu thief with less than 100 people who is stationed in the city gate, but a team of nearly 400 people.
These teams lined up on the periphery of the West Gate Gate Cave, waiting for Sima Zhao's attack, but at the same time, they were also stalling for time, waiting for the arrival of a large army.
As long as Wang Ping is asked to rush to the more than 3,000 soldiers in the camp to help, the west gate of Wancheng will be breached.
Similarly, what Sima Zhao has to do now is to break through the interception of the Shu thieves in front of him in the shortest possible time, recapture the west gate, and close the city gate to defend it.
This is a matter of fighting time and casualties, Wang Ping and Sima Zhao both know it in their hearts.
Now Sima Zhao, I really don't know how to feel.
Earlier, his face was smacked, and the more he thought about the impossible, what would happen immediately.
But now, Sima Zhao is very grateful to the self who "lost his cool" and "intended revenge" a quarter of an hour ago, if it weren't for that self, Sima Zhao would not have a thousand people available in his hands now.
If you only bring a few hundred people to besiege and kill the Shu thieves, you will now face the city gate hole defended by four hundred Shu thieves. This Simon is lost.
But now, Sima Zhao has a thousand men in his hands, and although the situation is still severe, he still has the advantage of troops, and he still has a chance to capture the West Gate before the enemy comes to help.
Without hesitation, Sima Zhao took the initiative to attack.
There is no way, now Sima Zhao is the passive party, he wants to grab time.
On Wang Ping's side, he didn't mean to make waves, so he ordered the whole army to stick to the defensive line, hold the position, and delay as much time as possible.
Fortunately, Wang Ping also made preparations in advance, not only let the soldiers prepare for the battle in advance, but also asked people to go back and mobilize the soldiers to assemble and follow up as soon as possible when they broke through the city gate.
Probably, it only takes a quarter of an hour for the main force of their own country to receive the news and come to the aid in time.
So. Just hold on for a quarter of an hour.
