Rebirth of the God of War Lu Bu
Chapter 1380: Cao Jun Breaks Wancheng (2)
However, after the battle with the Qingzhou Army, Guan Yu's expression became more worried. The Qingzhou Army on the opposite side seemed to be going crazy, rushing forward one after another. The fall of Pao Ze seemed to have no impact on them at all. Their goal was to charge and kill.
Charge again!
The crazy Qingzhou Army caused the Jingzhou Army to waver. If it was not necessary, no one would be willing to face a crazy army. Compared with the Qingzhou Army, the Jingzhou Army was slower in reaction, and the speed of the attack was as fast as the Qingzhou Army.
There is even a big gap in combat effectiveness.
The battle lasted only half an hour, and the 5,000 Jingzhou Army was completely suppressed by the Qingzhou Army. More and more Qingzhou Army entered the city.
"General, retreat, Wancheng cannot be defended anymore," the deputy general said.
Guan Yu's hands were trembling slightly, and he wanted to ride his horse forward to fight, but his personal bravery had no effect on such a battlefield.
"Retreat!" Guan Yu reluctantly issued the order to retreat. The confrontation between the Jingzhou Army and Cao Army in Wancheng was declared a failure with Guan Yu's order. The reason for the failure of the Jingzhou Army was not only the betrayal of the family, but also the defeat of the Jingzhou Army.
This is because the overall strength of Jingzhou Army is much worse than that of Cao Army.
Although Liu Bei controlled the Jingzhou Army, he was far behind Cao Cao at the level of military generals. Even though their strength increased in a short period of time, when facing the real elite, their combat effectiveness was unsatisfactory.
Tiger and leopard cavalry attacked various city gates, and more and more Cao Jun entered the city.
When Xiahou Yuan saw the Jingzhou Army retreating, he sent out five thousand soldiers to pursue Guan Yu. He then led the remaining Qingzhou Army to mop up the remnants of the Jingzhou Army in the city.
The five thousand Qingzhou Army completely drove Guan Yu out of the city. During the retreat, many soldiers chose to escape directly, especially the new recruits in the army. Although they had received strict training, they did not want to follow a defeated army.
There were many soldiers who had such thoughts about retreating. Even some generals in the army secretly fled the army and chose to surrender.
Guan Yu looked gloomy. This was the first major defeat in his life, and the defeat was so complete. Of the 10,000 defenders, only more than 4,000 people followed him to escape from Wancheng. The more than 4,000 soldiers looked panic-stricken.
I have completely lost the confidence I had when I first arrived in Wancheng.
"The defeat in this battle is entirely my fault!" Guan Yu looked back at Wancheng in the dark night and sighed.
"General, if it hadn't been for the betrayal of the Cai family, our army would not have been defeated. Why should the general blame himself?" the lieutenant general said with relief. Guan Yu has been working hard since he entered Wancheng, and Guan Yu's performance in the battle won him the honor of "General."
The support of the lieutenants of the army, especially the two consecutive victories of Bowangpo, made the morale of the Jingzhou army even higher. Otherwise, how could the Jingzhou army persist for so long under Cao Jun's attack.
Guan Yu felt a little heavy. Losing Wancheng meant losing Nanyang County.
In the Jingzhou army, soldiers who secretly escaped are still continuing. Although they have orders from the generals, they are terrified in the face of failure.
Suddenly, the sound of intensive war drums came from both sides of the Jingzhou Army, and the ambushing Cao Army soldiers suddenly rushed out, causing huge turmoil in the Jingzhou Army.
"Guan Yu, if you don't quickly dismount and surrender, Duke Cao has long expected that you will be defeated and pass away." Xiahou Dun shouted.
Looking at the panic-stricken Jingzhou army officers, Guan Yu used all his strength and shouted: "Cao Cao has caused rebellion and dared to invade Jingzhou. Everyone will punish these rebellious officials and traitors!"
"Those who lay down their weapons will not be killed!" Xiahou Dun responded to Guan Yu's words without hypocrisy.
This loud shout made many Jingzhou soldiers choose to retreat. Regardless of whether they held great righteousness or not, they were now considering the issue of life and death.
The two armies started a fierce battle. After only a quarter of an hour, the Jingzhou Army showed signs of weakness. They fled from the city in panic and encountered an ambush by the enemy. You can imagine the mood of the Jingzhou Army officers and soldiers at this time. Many soldiers
I even regretted why I didn't take the opportunity to leave the army when I was in the city before.
The hundreds of swordsmen around Guan Yu broke out in powerful battles. These swordsmen were carefully trained by Guan Yu, and they were all selected from the most elite soldiers in the army. In previous battles, these swordsmen showed their best performance.
It played a huge role, and Zhou Cang, who had a long sword in his hand, also performed extremely bravely on the battlefield.
With the tenacious support of hundreds of swordsmen, Guan Yu was able to lead his troops to break out of the siege.
Seeing this, Xiahou Dun chased after him. Before he came, he claimed to capture Guan Yu alive in front of Cao Cao. How could he let Guan Yu escape like this?
After chasing for ten miles, Cao Jun behind him still showed no sign of giving up, which made Guan Yu a little confused. The effect of Xiahou Dun's fierce pursuit was obvious. He directly drove the shaken Jingzhou soldiers out of the fleeing team.
At this time, Guan Yu had no intention of restraining his soldiers.
"General, the enemy is in hot pursuit!" The lieutenant general's face was a little pale. He was in a series of battles and his own side was at a disadvantage. You can imagine the uneasiness in his heart.
Guan Yu snorted coldly: "There is a dangerous place ahead. As long as we get here, Cao Jun will definitely not dare to pursue us!"
Just as Guan Yu expected, Xiahou Dun had already sent scouts to learn about the terrain ahead. Seeing that he could not capture Guan Yu alive on the battlefield, he felt a little regretful and had no choice but to retreat and gather the surrendered soldiers of the Jingzhou Army along the way. This was a great gain.
The sky was dimming, and the Jingzhou Army officers around Guan Yu looked tired. The battle last night was a nightmare for them. They originally had the advantage of the city wall to block the enemy's attack, but unexpectedly they encountered a series of attacks.
Failed and almost failed to escape from the city.
After counting the soldiers and horses, Guan Yu's face was not very good. At this time, there were only more than 2,000 soldiers left in the army. Xiahou Dun's interception and killing reduced the number of soldiers in the army to half.
"Return the troops!" Guan Yu ordered decisively.
The flag on the head of Wancheng was replaced by the flag of Cao's army. On the streets in the city, the traces of the battle were extremely obvious. The people who walked out of their houses looked full of fear after seeing Cao's soldiers on the streets.
Many people noticed that new content appeared in places where notices are usually posted.
Next to the notice, there are officials responsible for interpretation, explaining the contents of the notice to the people.
There are two notices. The first one is very ordinary. It is simply that after Cao Cao captures Wancheng, he will do nothing to the people in the city. In fact, when the army breaks through the city, it is impossible to completely do this and kill them.
Some enemy soldiers will arouse their ferocity when facing weak civilians. As a result, the unlucky ones will always be the ordinary civilians.
