Chapter 1380: Cao Jun Breaks Wancheng (II)

However, after the battle with the Qingzhou army, Guan Yu's expression of worry became even stronger, and the Qingzhou army on the opposite side seemed to be crazy, going forward one after another, and the fall of the robe Ze seemed to have no impact on them, their goal was to rush and kill, and then rush to kill!

The crazy Qingzhou Army has shaken the Jingzhou Army, if it is not necessary, no one wants to face a crazy army, and compared with the Jingzhou Army and the Qingzhou Army, the reaction is slower, and there is a big gap in the speed and combat effectiveness of the rush.

The battle was only half an hour, and the 5,000 Jingzhou army was completely suppressed by the Qingzhou army, and more and more Qingzhou troops entered the city.

"General, retreat, Wancheng can't hold it anymore." Adjutant said.

Guan Yu's hands were trembling slightly, he really wanted to ride his horse forward, his personal martial arts and bravery, but he couldn't change it on such a battlefield.

"Withdraw!" Guan Yu reluctantly issued an order to retreat, and the confrontation between the Jingzhou army and the Cao army in Wancheng, accompanied by Guan Yu's order, was declared a failure, and the reason for the failure of the Jingzhou army was not only the betrayal of the family, but also the overall strength of the Jingzhou army was much worse than that of the Cao army.

Although Liu Bei controlled the Jingzhou army, but at the level of generals in the army, he was much worse than Cao Cao, even if his strength increased in a short period of time, when facing the real elite, the combat effectiveness they showed was unsatisfactory.

The tigers and leopards attacked the gates of the city, and more and more Cao troops entered the city.

Seeing the retreat of the Jingzhou army, Xiahou Yuan sent 5,000 soldiers to pursue Guan Yu, and he led the remaining Qingzhou army to sweep away the remnants of the Jingzhou army in the city.

The five thousand Qingzhou army completely drove Guan Yu out of the city, and on the way to retreat, many soldiers chose to flee directly, especially the recruits in the army, although they received strict training, they did not want to retreat with a defeated army, and there were not a few soldiers with such ideas, and even some generals in the army secretly fled from the army and chose to surrender.

Guan Yu's face was gloomy, this was the first big defeat in his life, and the defeat was so complete, 10,000 defenders, only more than 4,000 people escaped from Wancheng with him, and more than 4,000 soldiers looked panicked, completely lacking the confidence they had when they first arrived in Wancheng.

"The defeat in this battle is the fault of this general!" Guan Yu glanced back at Wancheng in the dark night and sighed.

"General, if it weren't for the betrayal of the Cai family, our army would not have been defeated, so why should the general blame himself." The deputy general was relieved that since Guan Yu entered Wancheng, he has been working hard, and Guan Yu's performance in the battle has won the support of the generals and soldiers in the army, especially Bowangpo's two consecutive victories, which made the morale of the Jingzhou army even higher, otherwise, why did the Jingzhou army persist for so long under the attack of the Cao army.

Guan Yu's mood was a little heavy, losing Wancheng meant losing Nanyang County.

In the Jingzhou army, the soldiers who fled secretly continued, although they had orders from the generals of various departments, but in the face of defeat, they were terrified.

Suddenly, dense war drums sounded on both sides of the Jingzhou army, and the soldiers of the Cao army who were in ambush suddenly came out, causing great turmoil in the Jingzhou army.

"Guan Yu, don't get off your horse and surrender quickly, Gong Cao has long expected that you will be defeated." Xiahoudun shouted.

Looking at the panicked soldiers of the Jingzhou army, Guan Yuyun shouted with all his strength: "Cao Cao committed a rebellion and dared to invade Jingzhou, such a chaotic minister and thief, everyone will be punished!" ”

"Whoever lays down his blade, don't kill!" Xiahoudun did not pretend to Guan Yu's words.

This shout made many Jingzhou soldiers choose to retreat, whether they occupied the righteousness or not, they were now thinking about the issue of life and death.

The two armies launched a fierce battle, only a quarter of an hour later, the Jingzhou army showed a lack of support, fled from the city in panic, and encountered the enemy's ambush, the mood of the Jingzhou army officers at this time can be imagined, many soldiers even regretted a little, why they did not take the opportunity to leave the army when they were in the city before.

The hundreds of swordsmen around Guan Yu broke out into a powerful battle, these swordsmen were trained by Guan Yu quietly, and the selected ones were the most elite soldiers in the army, in the past battles, these swordsmen played a huge role, and Zhou Cang, who had a long knife in hand, was also extremely brave on the battlefield.

With the tenacious support of hundreds of swordsmen, Guan Yu was able to lead his soldiers and horses out of the encirclement.

Seeing this, Xiahoudun chased after him, but before he came, he claimed to have captured Guan Yu alive in front of Cao Cao, how could he let Guan Yu escape like this.

After chasing and killing ten miles one after another, the Cao army behind him still showed no signs of giving up, which made Guan Yu a little puzzled, Xiahoudun's fierce pursuit, the effect was obvious, and the Jingzhou soldiers who were shaken in their hearts were directly driven out of the fleeing team, and Guan Yu did not have the heart to restrain the soldiers in the army at this time.

"General, the enemy is in hot pursuit!" The adjutant general's face was a little pale, he had been hit by wars one after another, and his own side was in a weak position, and the uneasiness in his heart could be imagined.

Guan Yu snorted coldly: "The front is a dangerous place, as long as you get here, Cao Jun will definitely not dare to chase and kill!" ”

As Guan Yu expected, Xiahoudun had already sent scouts to learn about the terrain in front of him, and seeing that he could not capture Guan Yu alive on the battlefield, he had some regrets, so he could only choose to retreat and collect the surrendered soldiers of the Jingzhou army along the way, but there was also a lot of gain.

The sky was faint, Guan Yu's Jingzhou soldiers were full of fatigue, last night's battle was a nightmare for them, they originally had the advantage of the city wall, which could block the enemy's attack, but they didn't expect to suffer a series of defeats, and almost failed to escape from the city.

After counting the soldiers and horses, Guan Yu's face was not very good-looking, at this time, there were only more than 2,000 soldiers left in the army, and Xiahoudun's interception and killing made the number of soldiers in the army sharply reduced to half.

"Return!" Guan Yu ordered categorically.

The banner on the head of Wancheng City was replaced by the banner of Cao Jun, and on the streets of the city, the traces of the battle were extremely obvious, and the people who walked out of their homes were full of fear after seeing the soldiers of Cao on the street.

Many people noticed that new content appeared in the place where the notice was usually posted.

Next to the notice, there is an official who is responsible for interpreting the notice, explaining the contents of the notice to the people.

There are two notices, the first one is very ordinary, nothing more than that after Cao Cao seized Wancheng, he will not commit any crime to the people in the city, in fact, when the army breaks through the city, it is impossible to completely do this, kill the enemy, and some soldiers will stimulate their ferocity when facing the weak people, so that the unlucky people are always ordinary people.
