Chapter 313: The Fierce Battle of Wancheng on the Third Front (18)

"You, what are you talking about" The words that came out of Chen Zhi's mouth were tantamount to a thunderbolt that suddenly fell in the dark night, which frightened Liu Bei a lot

Zhuge Liang on the side couldn't help but be slightly moved after hearing this

"How many reinforcements does the Cao army have, and how many have you eliminated," Zhuge Liang asked Chen Zhi after a moment's thought

When Chen Zhi heard Zhuge Liang's inquiry, he replied with a look of shame: "The enemy army has 12,300 people, and after the first battle, it is estimated that the other side still has more than 10,000 troops available."

Hearing the words "more than 10,000 people", Zhuge Liang, who had always been calm, became a little gloomy

If he was driven back to Wancheng by Cao Jun's reinforcements, the situation would really not be optimistic

Now, although Zhang Fei led the army to the top of the city and achieved a great advantage, he has not completely controlled the situation after all, and it will take some time to take Wancheng

Although this time will not be too long, but after listening to Chen's report, Cao Jun has already defeated the ambush he has set up, and it must have only been a blink of an eye to rush to Wancheng

If Wancheng hadn't completely conquered his soldiers and horses when Cao Jun arrived, it would have been extremely dangerous to face an attack from the rear

You must know that the remaining strength of Liu Bei's army is only a few thousand, not to mention that most of the soldiers are still in a state of siege, how can they turn around and meet the enemy at once

In this regard, Zhuge Liang couldn't help but secretly blame Chen for having 2,500 ambush soldiers, although it was not a lot, but he had a calculation and an unintentional situation, even if he could not completely annihilate the other party, how could he consume most of his troops

Ambushed the other party with ambushes, not to mention the defeat of the other party's battleable soldiers, Zhuge Liang knew that Chen Zhi was a good general, but it was incredible that such a general would be defeated so miserably

How the hell did you get to this point?

"Who is the general coming to the aid of Cao Jun," Zhuge Liang asked again

"Gao Shun"

Gao Shun, Zhuge Liang's brows furrowed, Gao Shun's reputation is now extremely loud, the main general of the elite of the Cao army in the camp, fighting bravely and decisively, calm and strategic, can be called one of the best generals in the Cao army's formation

Gao Shun may not be the bravest or most resourceful among the Cao army, but judging from Zhuge Liang's understanding of the generals of the Cao army, none of the more courageous than Gao Shun in the Cao army are as resourceful as his resourcefulness, and those who are more intelligent than Gao Shun are not as brave and good at fighting

In such a situation, it is almost a disaster to face such a general

Unlike Zhuge Liang, after hearing Gao Shun's name, Liu Bei suddenly became very excited

Although in the public's impression that Guan Yu was killed by Cao Jun's general Xiahou Dun, the two wives who were released by Cao Jun clearly told Liu Bei that it was Cao Cao's heavy general Gao Shun who killed Guan Yu with his own hands

When Liu Bei was in Xuchang, Gao Shun fought against him everywhere, and now, with the hatred of killing his brother, how can Liu Bei not hate him to the core

As soon as he heard Gao Shun's name, Liu Bei immediately made a gritted tooth look, eager to eat his flesh and sleep on his skin

Seeing Liu Bei's disgusting look, Zhuge Liang secretly screamed that it was not good

As the commander of an army, if there is such a huge emotional swing, it is easy to produce fatal flaws

And at such a critical moment, once there is any flaw, it will be a huge threat to the whole army

"The lord, please calm your anger," although Zhuge Liang knew that it was inappropriate to persuade Liu Bei at this time, he had to do that, it should be the duty of the military advisor

Liu Bei's heart must not be chaotic at this time, once Liu Bei runs away, then the remaining soldiers will be martyred for him

"I know I'll calm down," Liu Bei took a few deep breaths when he heard Zhuge Liang's persuasion, trying to calm his mood

Liu Bei is also an extraordinary person after all, and he also knows that if he can't contain his anger at this time, the consequences will be extremely serious

After taking several deep breaths, Liu Bei finally made himself look less angry, although Zhuge Liang knew that this was just a superficial phenomenon, Liu Bei must still be extremely angry in his heart, but as long as Liu Bei can control his emotions and prevent himself from going berserk, it is a good phenomenon

So what we have to consider now is how to face Cao's reinforcements

If the reinforcements of the Cao army rushed over like this, and his own soldiers were defenseless, it was very likely that it would be a big defeat, and even the entire army would be wiped out, it was not impossible

These soldiers can be said to be Liu Bei's entire family, if they are all destroyed, Liu Bei may never have a bright day from now on

If you want to say that the best way to deal with it in front of you is undoubtedly to immediately withdraw all the soldiers who are besieging the city, and leave Wancheng immediately before the reinforcements of the Cao army arrive

But Liu Bei will definitely not accept this proposal, since the moment he led the army to attack Wancheng, Liu Bei is equivalent to saying that betraying Cai Mao's troops is also equivalent to declaring a break with Liu Biao, if Liu Bei fails to take Wancheng in the end, then where else can he go, will Liu Biao continue to let him stay in Xinye

In the current situation, even if Liu Bei is willing to continue to send people under the fence, he can't do it, so it can be said that Liu Bei has no way out except to win
