Chapter 302: The Fierce Battle of Wancheng in the Three-Line Battle (7)
Groups of soldiers climbed towards the city, although the Cao army on the city wall had begun to organize a counterattack, and shot arrows downwards one after another, but the arrows were too sparse and could not do much damage to Liu Beijun below
Zhuge Liang looked at the Wancheng city wall in front of him from a distance, although he couldn't see it very clearly in the night, he could also vaguely see the soldiers of his own army scrambling towards the head of Wancheng City
The capture of Wancheng can be expected
Zhuge Liang smiled, he felt relaxed from the bottom of his heart at the moment, since he became Liu Bei's military advisor, he has been working hard for the growth of Liu Bei's power every day
But it is too difficult to achieve this goal, Rao is himself has the talent of ghosts and gods, after all, he is a clever woman, it is difficult to cook without rice, Liu Bei's foundation is too bad, it is almost a mess, basically as long as he is a prince, his strength must be stronger than Liu Bei, and if he wants Liu Bei to successfully divide one side and even compete for the world, it is tantamount to being as difficult as climbing to the sky
Fortunately, when the miracle was finally born, a great opportunity is now in front of us, as long as Wancheng can be captured, Liu Bei will have a new foothold
Although Liu Bei also had Xinye before, but Xinye and Wancheng are really not the same, Xinye City is small in scale, and the city wall defense is weak, not to mention that Wancheng is connected to Sili in the north, Jingzhou in the south, and Yuzhou in the east is really the land of the four roads in the world, and its importance is not comparable to Xinye at all, and now the three-way army is attacking Cao Cao, even if Cao Cao's forces are not destroyed because of this, I am afraid that the best result can only be maintained Ji, You, And the land of Sanzhou, after Liu Beijun took Wancheng, with the 10,000 soldiers and horses in his hand, he wanted to continue to go north to fight for the Son of Heaven, most of them were not possible, but whether it was Ma Teng or Sun Jian who finally occupied the place of Si Li, after just experiencing a big war, he always had to recuperate for a period of time, and he had no time to covet Wancheng
Of course, whether Ma Teng or Sun Jian occupy Sili, Liu Bei does not have the ability to grab territory, and after taking Wancheng, Zhuge Liang's next target is Liu Biao's Jingzhou
Liu Bei's army is attacking Wancheng, but Liu Biao's army was attacked by Cao's army, I am afraid that the whole army will be annihilated, so Liu Biao will inevitably be greatly injured, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to recover in a few years, and Liu Bei will be in full swing if he captures Wancheng, although the current strength is not very large, but Zhuge Liang believes that with his own ability, it is estimated that as long as it takes a year or two of work, he can train an elite army with a number of at least 30,000 people
At that time, first attack Xinye and other cities on the periphery of Jingzhou, and then advance step by step to encroach on Jingzhou, Zhuge Liang believes that one day the master of Jingzhou will change from Liu Biao to Liu Bei
If Jingzhou can be won, then Liu Bei will have the foundation to win the king's hegemony
All of this is thanks to Guo Jia in Wancheng, if he hadn't been eager to succeed in a battle and sent most of the soldiers in the city to attack Liu Biao's camp, how could he have such a good opportunity
Zhuge Liang can also understand Guo Jia's approach, if he changes his position, I am afraid that he will do it, but God will make people, Guo Jia does not know that there is a figure in Liu Bei's military camp that is resourceful enough to match it, so that Wancheng is in danger of falling
Zhuge Liang showed a rare ease, but Guo Jiake in Wancheng City had a sad face
There were less than 5,000 defenders in the city, and it was estimated that they would not be able to hold it for a long time
After such a short period of defense, the general and colonel initially predicted that the number of enemy troops outside the city was 10,000, in short, it would never be 20,000
Originally, although this number was under a lot of pressure on the defenders in the city, it was not at all too much to the point of despair, and Wancheng was not so critical that it would fall in an instant
However, according to Guo Jia's original prediction, tonight, the war will end in a great victory for his side, and this sentiment has also spread to the whole army, and everyone thinks that the victory of their own army is in their hands
Under such circumstances, a strong army suddenly appeared to attack the city, which inevitably caused panic among the soldiers in the city, and the defenders began to wonder why the enemy army suddenly killed the 30,000 troops who left the city, whether it had already been defeated
The result is inevitably a decline in morale
In addition, after several days of offensive and defensive battles, Wancheng's city defense has weakened, and now that the morale of his side has fallen, I have to say that the situation in front of him is really dangerous
If you want to use the defenders in the city to repel the enemy army attacking the city, it is probably impossible, and if you want to break the enemy, you can only wait for the return of the army sent out
However, the task he gave to Xu Huang at that time was to completely annihilate Liu Biaojun, Liu Biaojun had 70,000 people, even if he lost part of the siege in the past few days, and then subtracted the rest of the besieging people, I am afraid that there are more than 40,000 people, and I want to annihilate it completely, it is by no means a moment to achieve it, I am afraid that when Xu Huang and Gao Shun lead the army back to Wancheng, Wancheng has already fallen for a long time, and then the enemy army will fight another ambush or something, and those men and horses under Xu Huang are estimated to be all explained
No, I must not allow this to happen
"Order the soldiers to set fire to the city," Guo Jia said, and his tone was unprecedentedly cold
