Chapter 523: Encirclement
Once the camp is dispersed, it will be Han Shin alive, and it will be difficult to reunite the hearts of the army.
However, it is a pity that although Cai Mao has realized that he needs to gather the men and horses, it is not easy to gather them in a short period of time because they have scattered the soldiers and horses too openly.
Before the people were completely gathered, Tai Shici and Zu Lang had already led the men and horses to kill them, so that Cai Mao, Zhang Yun and the others had no time to react, and a fierce battle broke out at this time.
It is said to be a fierce battle, but in fact it is a one-sided battle.
Cai Mao and Zhang Yun, who had only more than 20,000 people left, with this charge, the soldiers and horses were reduced again, and Gan Ning's men and horses advanced from the rear, and more than 10,000 people from Tai Shici and Zu Lang entered the battlefield.
The number of people on the battlefield is completely Liu Zheng's side, and the overall quality of the soldiers on Liu Zheng's side is several grades higher than that of Cai Mao's side.
So as soon as the battle came into contact, a large number of casualties began to appear on Cai Mao's side.
It didn't take long for Cai Mao and Zhang Yun to realize that there were too many casualties among the soldiers on their side, and there were fewer and fewer people who could continue to fight, but at this time it was already the end of the road, and they had no way to change the situation.
Zhang Yun on the other side, but he is not as calm as Cai Mao, Cai Mao is a battle-hardened veteran after all, and it is not the first time he has faced such a scene, he has experienced more desperate scenes, and it is not once he was defeated by Liu Zheng, so he can still maintain a calm command of his men.
And Zhang Yun, after all, is still too young, Tucson pattern broken, this saw such a scene, he was directly frightened and cried, panicked and rushed to the front of the two armies to flee back to the rear, but the rear is also the enemy, there is no way to avoid it, he fled in all directions, and he was scared to cry and walk in a panic.
And the guards around him were already frightened, and they didn't care if he was the main general, Zhang Yun, who was like a tree falling down and scattered, losing his armor, if it weren't for the people who could still see Cai Mao, they could barely gather in one place, and they were afraid that they would have to surrender at this time.
Zhang Yun stumbled to find Cai Mao and asked Cai Mao for help, Cai Mao had no choice at this time, so he could only take some of the remaining men and horses to gradually support, but such support was useless, and they couldn't break through if they wanted to, but the scope of action was gradually compressed by Liu Zheng's army.
In less than two hours, only a few thousand soldiers and horses were left of the more than 20,000 soldiers and horses that had already been fought.
Looking at his own people, from 40,000 people at the beginning, to only 5 or 6,000 people around him now, Cai Mao felt a sense of powerlessness.
Now like this, even if he breaks through the siege of Wenpin and these people, what can he do when he arrives in Xiangyang City.
A sense of powerlessness gradually spread to Cai Mao's heart, and suddenly he had a desire to admit defeat, but when he thought of the bastard Liu Zheng, Cai Mao gritted his teeth again, not wanting to admit defeat like this, in the face of Liu Zheng, a negative man, he wanted to make the decision for his sister and settle accounts with Liu Zheng.
Absolutely admit defeat.
When Liu Zheng's army gradually surrounded Cai Mao's men and horses, Tai Shici, Wen Ping and others tacitly agreed not to order to continue the pursuit, but to besiege but not attack, and gradually forced Cai Mao's men and horses into a circular place, and then waited for Liu Zheng to come over and clean up the mess.
Liu Zheng saw that the situation was decided, and he knew that it was time for him to appear, so he led Cai Yao to the front of the team.
didn't let Cai Yao come out as soon as possible, but walked out first.
"Brother Cai Mao is here."
Liu Zheng opened his mouth and shouted at the other side.
At this time, because of the close distance and the people and horses on Liu Zheng's side, he consciously closed his mouth, and the battlefield was quiet, and Liu Zheng's words could be transmitted to Cai Mao's side.
Cai Mao didn't hear Liu Zheng's words directly in the middle of the team, and some small soldiers spread the news to Cai Mao's ears, and it didn't take long for Cai Mao to train her voice and walk out.
"Liu Zheng dog thief, I didn't expect it to be you! It's hateful, I actually fell for your plan again! ”
At this time, Cai Mao didn't know the situation in Xiangyang, as soon as he saw Liu Zheng appear here, he thought that Liu Zheng's men and horses were not going to Xiangyang at all, but deliberately went to Xiangyang, the purpose was to let the people of Xiangyang send people for help, so that the people of Changsha City had to go out of the city to Xiangyang.
Then set up an ambush in the middle of the road, Cai Mao only thought that he had fallen for Liu Zheng's plan to attack the west.
Liu Zheng heard Cai Mao's words and smiled faintly.
"Brother Cai Mao, calling you big brother can be regarded as giving you face, let's keep your mouth clean, after all, you will also rebel with me in the future, the word dog thief is not good to use to describe yourself."
"Bah, I, Cai Mao, am loyal to the monarch and love the people, how can I be with you, a dog thief!"
At this time, Cai Mao still seemed to have a bit of backbone, in fact, he mainly had some resentment towards Liu Zheng in his heart, and resented Liu Zheng for failing his sister Cai Yao, so no matter what Liu Zheng said, he would not agree, he just wanted to have a good time in his mouth, and he couldn't beat him anyway, so he could only scold.
Liu Zheng heard Cai Mao's words, but didn't say much, but turned his head, beckoned, and asked Cai Yao to come over.
Cai Yao was anxious about Cai Mao's safety, although she heard Cai Mao's voice and knew that Cai Mao was fine, she still cared about Cai Mao, and under Liu Zheng's call, she immediately walked out and saw Cai Mao not far away.
As soon as Cai Yao came out, she didn't need to say anything to Cai Mao.
Cai Mao recognized Cai Yao by herself, and then was shocked.
"Little sister!"
Cai Mao looked at Liu Zheng in a panic, and then looked at Cai Yao, almost having a feeling of being wrong, he glanced at it again, and after making sure that the person opposite was his sister, he shouted at Liu Zheng.
"Dog thief, how could my sister be in your hands, isn't she in Xiangyang Cai's mansion?"
Of course, Cai Mao couldn't have imagined that Cai Yao was from Liu Biao and them.
"Of course I went to Xiangyang to pick her up, how about it, can you consider surrendering now?"
Liu Zheng had a smile on his face, but this sentence was like a thunderbolt from a sunny day and hit Cai Mao, Zhang Yunkuai Yue and others at once.
Picked up from Xiangyang, so Liu Zheng really went to Xiangyang, and it is very likely to break Xiangyang City, otherwise how could Cai Yao, who was in Cai's mansion, appear in Liu Zheng's hands.
As soon as they thought of the destruction of Xiangyang City, Liu Biao and others were killed in battle, Cai Mao, Zhang Yun, Kuai Yue and others were even a little unstable in their standings.
