From refugee NPC to mythical general

Chapter 134 The gap is immediately apparent
The large army of the Yu Dynasty has begun to cross the river.

This time Wang Yu personally led the troops to attack, and brought out all his civil officials and advisers, a total of more than 6,000 people, leaving only 2,000 people in the Yu Dynasty to defend the city.

Li Su had already made a plan for military invasion, attacking from west to east, starting from the three towns of Xianhe, all the way to Jiming and Yuhuang towns. These places were the gateways guarding Daming Town. As long as all these gateways were taken out, an absolute encirclement of Daming Town could be formed.

At that time, with the army approaching, there will be no worries anymore. They will work together to besiege the main city of Daming Town, and finally take Daming Town in one fell swoop.

That night, the main force of the Yu Dynasty secretly crossed the Yellow River. Wen Pin's companion beast, the falcon, had already discovered a troop of fifty people patrolling the Yellow River. The vanguard troops had already dealt with this group of people, and then the main force landed and headed straight for the three towns of Xianhe. They set up camp ten miles away from the three towns of Xianhe. Wen Pin then sent scouts to spy on the situation in Changsheng Town.

Zhuge Liang had been recuperating in the old man's room most of the time these days and had not returned to Daming Town. He knew that only if he recovered his strength as soon as possible could he help Daming Town, otherwise it would be useless to go back.

After the fifty-man patrol force was killed, the news quickly spread to the meeting hall of Dameng Town.

Ning Mengya called everyone to a meeting overnight. After hearing this, Zhang Zhao's face suddenly became solemn. He looked at everyone and said in a deep voice: "I'm afraid that as I expected, the Yu Dynasty will come out in full force this time. They must know that General Zhuge was seriously injured, so they seized this opportunity to attack us with all their strength."

"Mr. Zhang, they killed our patrolmen. Where do you think they will attack first? How should we defend?"

Guan Ping spoke, this is also what Guan Ping is most concerned about. Daming Town has so many areas under its jurisdiction, how to defend it is a big problem.

Guo Tu thought for a moment and said, "Will they attack our main city with all their strength?"

Chen Qun shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be possible. They must have figured out that our main city's defense is very strong."

"If I were them, I would wipe out all the cities outside, and then surround Dameng Town with all my strength to prevent any future troubles."

Zhang Zhao nodded in agreement: "This possibility is very high, so...Changsheng, Buzhou, Xianhe, Yuhuang, Jiming and other towns will be their main targets!"

Although the counselors and generals of Daming Town all knew that the other side was going to attack these towns, they began to worry about how to make the specific arrangements.

In the absence of Zhuge Liang, everyone seemed leaderless and could only place all their hopes on Guan Ping.

Guan Ping had never led troops into battle alone, so asking him to take on the task on his own seemed very immature.

"General Gao, you go to Xianhe Town to guard it and form a pincer attack with General Pan."

"General Yu, you will go to Buzhou Town to guard it early tomorrow morning. That is the front line in the east, so you must be prepared to assist in the defense."

"General Gongsun, I will leave Changsheng Town to you."

"Here!"

Everyone obeyed the order. This was Guan Ping's arrangement. However, Zhuge Liang was not here, so he was still unsure. Then Guan Ping said, "Wang Da, go find General Zhuge tomorrow and ask him to come back!"

To be honest, Guan Ping was very unsure about these arrangements. Without Zhuge Liang coming back to guard the city, he felt uneasy.

……

At dawn, the army of the Yu Dynasty had already marched to Buzhou Town.

The falcon was circling over Buzhou Town. All the soldiers guarding Buzhou Town were on high alert and the military discipline was very strict.

"Strange, why is there a falcon circling in the sky at this time?"

The soldiers guarding the city of Buzhou were somewhat confused.

"Look, look!"

"There's fire over there!"

"No, no, enemy attack, enemy attack!"

"Light the beacon! Quick, light the beacon!"

The beacon fire was lit, and the smoke rose into the sky. Wen Pin waved his hand and shouted sternly: "Attack the city!"

The first landing troops charged towards Buzhou Town at the fastest speed, and all kinds of siege equipment were set up. Buzhou Town did not have a commander yet, and the highest commander was just a senior militiaman.

There were only more than 500 defenders in the city. They were obviously unable to withstand the charge of 6,000 troops. In just two hours, Buzhou Town was breached.

Gan Ning, a sixth-rate general, took the lead and launched a fierce charge on Buzhou Town.

"Leave the people to retreat!"

"Kill! Kill them all!" Gan Ning shouted loudly.

They spared no one of the people in this town. After the army entered the city, the whole city was filled with the smell of blood.

Wang Yu smiled and led Wen Pin and other large troops into the city.

"Use this as a base and continue your offensive westward."

Buzhou Town was captured in just two hours, which was much easier than he had imagined.

After the opposing coach was seriously injured, the team began to become leaderless.

After Yu Jin arrived near Changsheng Town with his personal soldiers, he continued to march towards Buzhou Town.

"General! The Buzhou town sent out signal smoke in the morning. Several soldiers escaped and the city was breached."

Hearing this, Yu Jin was shocked: "Really?"

He was originally ordered to guard Buzhou Town, but he did not expect the enemy's offensive would be so fast. At this time, he could not go to Buzhou Town and could only follow Gongsun Zan to guard Changsheng Town.

"Send someone to the main city to report to the lord and General Guan!"

"Here!"

……

The next morning, Zhuge Liang came back early. When he heard Guan Ping's arrangements, his brows furrowed.

Guan Ping asked suspiciously, "General, is there anything wrong?"

Zhuge Liang shook his head and said, "You should have sent someone there last night. If you went there this morning... I'm afraid it's too late."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Da came in hurriedly and said, "General Zhuge, something happened. Buzhou Town was captured in the early morning."

Hearing this, Guan Ping was horrified, and immediately knelt on one knee and said to Zhuge Liang: "I know I was wrong, please punish me, General."

Zhuge Liang pulled him up and said, "Don't talk about this now. Think about the next countermeasures."

"Mr. Zhang, what do you think the other party will do next?"

Zhang Zhao said: "Looking at the current situation, their next step should be to advance westward, capture all the cities around Dameng Town, and then attack Dameng Town."

Zhuge Liang nodded, and then said to Guan Ping: "Don't mobilize any more troops. Transfer Yu Jin to Xianhe Town."

"what?"

Guan Ping was a little confused and asked suspiciously, "Why?"

Zhuge Liang said: "General Gongsun is good at defending the city. It will not be easy for the enemy to capture Changsheng Town easily."

"Yu Jin won't be of much use over there. If they can't capture Changsheng Town for a long time, they will probably turn to attack Xianhe Town."

"Gao Shun is good at charging but not good at defending. Let Yu Jin go over and defend with him!"

Guan Ping then realized that Zhuge Liang was familiar with the strengths and weaknesses of the people under his command, but Guan Ping did not know this. Comparing the two, the gap was immediately apparent!
