Chapter 1157: Occupy Wancheng
Cao Ang and the others began to prepare, and soldiers had already moved the stones of several city gates open.
In order to prevent the enemy from entering through the city gates, they blocked this place.
The army gathered, but Cao Ang swept it, and the soldiers all exuded a decadent color.
Their morale has suffered a major blow.
Zhang Yu and Ma Yunlu's wedding made them completely lose confidence.
If Ma Teng unites with Zhang Yu, their back road will be gone, and they won't be able to stop it at all.
Therefore, all the soldiers are very decadent.
"Eldest son, what are you going to do?" Zhang Xiu asked.
"We'll open all the gates later, and then we'll break through through the north gate."
Cao Ang knew that their troops were too small to divide their troops, so they had to concentrate their soldiers and horses.
But they were afraid of being surrounded, so they opened all the city gates, so that the Tang army of the other city gates would not be surrounded at once, they would hesitate and want to kill through the city gates.
began to prepare, Cao Ang asked Zhang Xiu to arrange it.
"Eldest Prince, it's ready." Zhang Xiu reported.
Cao Ang nodded, looked at the sky, took a deep breath and said, "Open the city gate." ”
The gates were ordered to be opened here, and the gates were also opened in other places, and they placed more than a thousand men at the other gates to attract the attention of the enemy, and they all broke through one gate.
"Kill."
The city gate opened, and Zhang Xiu rushed out first.
After rushing out, Zhang Xiu and Cao Ang led a large army to the north to raid.
There were 20,000 troops who defended the gates, and they lined up hundreds of meters outside the gates.
The enemy was killed, and this Tang army took the initiative to kill it.
The rear barracks, hearing the movement, immediately sent troops, and several troops and horses killed them together.
The movement was very loud, and Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai woke up.
Dian Wei is the most sensitive, he has already gotten up, and he is about to train his soldiers and horses.
"Hahaha, it's finally out."
"Sons, kill me."
Dian Wei took the soldiers and horses and killed them.
Dian Wei and Zhang Yu were both at the south gate, and when the south gate opened, Dian Wei didn't care whether there was an ambush or not, and went straight in.
What if there is an ambush?
The gates of the city were opened, and the support behind them would come up immediately, and even if there was an ambush, he would have to resist it first.
Dian Wei rushed in, and Zhang Yu had already woken up.
"Husband, the concubine will fight with you."
Ma Yunlu didn't get dressed yet, so he remembered.
Zhang Yu pressed her down and said: "You are inconvenient now, just go to the husband, not to mention the hundreds of thousands of troops outside, this Cao army has no chance." ”
Ma Yunlu didn't understand what she meant by being inconvenient, but she quickly understood.
Labor pains came from her movements.
Thinking that last night, Zhang Yu actually did that to her, she suddenly blushed and her heart jumped, and she lay down again.
"Lie down and rest, husband is fine."
Zhang Yu began to dress, then put on his armor, took his weapon and went out.
Outside the north gate, tens of thousands of troops had already gathered around, and Zhang Xiu and Cao Ang began to assault with the army.
The two assaulted, but they overestimated their own army.
The morale of their own troops plummeted.
Once the momentum of the charge was suppressed, they slowed down.
Cao Ang was in a hurry, he understood that the pursuers in the rear would soon arrive, and they opened the city gate to let them come through the city gate, and when the time came, they left, and the enemy was still blocking the city.
However, their momentum was quickly stopped and they were unable to break through quickly.
Datang's army really didn't expect them to want to break through early in the morning.
Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai judged that last night's breakthrough was the most likely, but they didn't expect them to choose to break through in the morning.
Although the preparation was insufficient, but the necessary preparations, all the armies were still dutiful, and Cao Ang and the others were not able to kill as quickly as expected.
"Eldest prince, I'll protect you to break out first."
At this time, the encirclement is not yet complete, but it must be done as soon as possible.
"Okay, let's get out together."
Cao Ang was already about to abandon the army, and only in this way could he return to Luoyang, otherwise he would not have a chance at all.
"Kill."
Zhang Xiu and Cao Ang began to assault with the elite of Cao Jun.
Zhang Xiu still has the ability, and above the battle array, he has enough ability.
However, they still couldn't make a quick assault, and Datang's army was too difficult.
On Zhang Yu's side, when he got out of the king's tent, he did not rush to act, but asked the soldiers to report the situation.
It took almost a quarter of an hour for Zhang Yu to judge Cao Ang's purpose.
"If you want to break through from the north gate, then break through."
Zhang Yu rushed over with more than 10,000 soldiers and horses.
When Zhang Yu arrived, Cao Ang and Zhang Xiu had already broken through to the edge and were about to be killed.
"The whole army is ready, we are not in a hurry to kill it."
Seeing Zhang Yu killing, Cao Ang and Zhang Xiu were in a hurry.
Zhang Yu personally led the army to kill, which meant that they had no chance.
However, Zhang Yu suddenly did not move, and he was not in a hurry to kill.
At this time, Zhang Yu could cut off their path at any time.
Zhang Yu didn't, as if this battle had nothing to do with him.
Zhang Xiu and Cao Ang were in a hurry, and their morale plummeted further.
When Zhang Yu arrives, the surrounding soldiers and horses may also be surrounded quickly, and they will not be able to run away at that time.
Although there is some desperation, they are still persevering.
"Lord, they are about to break out, when will we kill them." A young general couldn't help but was eager to try.
"Let them break out and talk about it."
Yes, Zhang Yu could have stopped Cao Ang and Zhang Xiu, but Zhang Yu didn't do it.
His subordinates don't understand, but he is Zhang Yu, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and he can only obey orders.
Zhang Xiu is desperate, and if he doesn't work hard, he won't have any chance.
Zhang Xiu finally killed and took Cao Ang out.
"Kill, intercept the army behind."
When Cao Ang and Zhang Xiu broke out with thousands of people, Zhang Yu gave the order to attack.
"Kill."
The army, which had been waiting on the sidelines for a long time, couldn't help it and rushed forward.
More than 10,000 troops were killed, and they immediately stopped them and blocked the gap.
Seeing that the escape route was blocked by Zhang Yu, they despaired.
After Zhang Yu stopped them, he didn't pursue Cao Ang and Zhang Xiu, and let them go.
And the rest of the army was all stopped.
Follow-up reinforcements arrived one after another, and they were heavily surrounded at the north gate.
"Your crown prince and the main general have fled, surrender quickly, and you can still leave a life." Zhang Yu asked his subordinates to start shouting.
The surrounding troops shouted for them to surrender.
To not surrender is to die.
The shouts came one after another.
"Lay down your arms."
"Lay down your arms."
Zhang Xiu ran away with Cao Ang, and the passage was blocked again, and suddenly morale plummeted and languished.
Some people began to surrender, and then Dangdangdang, a large number of desperate soldiers, began to lay down their arms and stop resisting.
Wancheng has been broken.
All but a few thousand of the troops inside were captured.
Tens of thousands of troops, laid down their arms, and Zhang Yu achieved another big victory.
Such a big victory is inevitable, and there is a huge disparity in national strength.
