Hao Zhao, defending the city of Chencang, rejected Jin Xiang's attempts at persuasion, burned the cloud ladders Zhuge Liang had built with fire arrows, smashed his battering rams with stones, and blocked the tunnel dug by Liao Hua by digging a double moat inside the city. After more than twenty days of attack and defense day and night, as Zhuge Liang sat sunk in worry, a report came that relief troops had arrived from the east under a banner reading 'Wei Vanguard Commander Wang Shuang.' Wei Yan stepped forward, but Zhuge Liang stopped him, saying that the commander of the vanguard must not go out lightly, and gave the subordinate general Xie Xiong 3,000 troops. When he asked again who else would go, the subordinate general Gong Qi answered that he would, and Zhuge Liang gave him 3,000 troops as well; then, fearing that Hao Zhao might sally out from the city, he pulled his troops back twenty li and pitched camp.

Xie Xiong advanced, met Wang Shuang, and before they had fought three bouts was split open and killed by a single stroke of his blade. As the Shu troops fled in defeat with Wang Shuang in pursuit, Gong Qi met him, but after crossing horses for barely three bouts he too was cut down by Wang Shuang. Hearing the report of the defeated soldiers, Zhuge Liang, greatly alarmed, sent out Liao Hua, Wang Ping and Zhang Ni, but Zhang Ni was struck in the back by Wang Shuang's meteor hammer. Seeing that he had lost two generals and that even Zhang Ni had been wounded, Zhuge Liang said that the route through the mouth of the Chencang road could not be taken and asked Jiang Wei for another plan.
