Chapter 303 The fierce battle in Wancheng in the third front battle eight
In the countryside outside Wancheng, Cao's army and Liu Biao's army were fighting fiercely.
Cai Hao was covered in blood, his helmet had been knocked off, and he looked very embarrassed.
There were still many soldiers of Cao's army surrounding him. Now that Cai Mao had suffered several wounds on his body and lost most of his strength, it was probably difficult for him to continue fighting.
"Am I going to die fighting here?" Cai Hao felt desperate, and a sad mood quickly spread.
As the patriarch of the Cai family in Jingzhou, Cai Hao's power and status are definitely not trivial. These are not things that can be given up and let go easily. As a person in a high position, Cai Hao, like most other dignitaries, has a greater share of death.
Extraordinary fear.
I have a lot of things now, but once I die, everything will turn into nothingness.
Cai Mao was unwilling, angry, and frightened! But he had no way to change his fate of defeat.
Although Cai Mao has some talent in commanding troops, he is not a good general who can turn things around, and he himself is not a strong general who can defeat a hundred enemies with one. Now his soldiers have no morale to fight, and he is exhausted, and there will still be more
What could possibly change the situation of the battle?
Defeat is decided!
If you don't want to die, then you have no choice but to surrender. Only by surrendering to Cao Cao can you save your life.
But everything he owns is in Jingzhou. If he surrenders, although he can save his life, except for his life, he will still lose everything and have nothing.
In addition, there are many good generals in Cao's army, and there is no shortage of generals. Although Cao Cao is still hungry for talents, Cai Hao still knows how capable he is. What position can he get after joining Cao's army, and whether he can be reused?
Still not sure in my heart.
Forget it, there is no time to think about reputation and status now. It is better to save life first. If you die, you will have nothing. Even if you surrender to Cao Cao, with the power of the Cai family in Jingzhou, it is definitely not something Liu Biao can do.
After surrendering to Cao Cao, even if he is not reused for a while, Cao Cao will always attack Jingzhou in the future. By then, he who is familiar with Jingzhou’s geographical and military conditions will definitely be useful, and when he returns to Jingzhou, everything he has lost now can be regained.
Take it back.
However, at the moment when Cai Mao was about to ask for surrender, heavy flames shot up into the sky in the distance.
The direction in which the flames shot up was Wancheng!
Something has changed in Wancheng!
Seeing the huge fire in the direction of Wancheng, the mentality of the two armies on the battlefield immediately changed drastically.
When everyone in Cao's army saw the fire in Wancheng, they were naturally filled with surprise and uncertainty.
There was such a raging fire in Wancheng. What accident happened? An army attacked the city? Did Wancheng fall?
Gao Shun and Xu Huang looked at the fire in the distance with very solemn expressions.
The fire in Wancheng was a serious matter! If it was just an ordinary fire, with Guo Jia's ability, it would be no problem to put out the fire. What's more, if it was just an ordinary fire, how could it form such a terrifying fire? Now the flames in the distance
It was so dazzling that it almost set the night sky on fire. At least several streets, or even half of Wan City, would have to be engulfed in flames at the same time to create such a "spectacular" fire curtain.
What a serious change happened in Wancheng! Even Guo Fengxiao, who was known as a genius, still suffered such bad luck even though he was in charge!
Both of them were so anxious that they no longer cared about annihilating Liu Biao's army in front of them.
If something shocking happened in Wancheng, it would be a bad idea to still cling to Liu Biaojun in front of him.
In fact, the morale of Cao's army has been damaged now, and it is no longer possible to fight as easily as before.
If Wancheng falls into the hands of someone, the 30,000 people will lose contact with Xuchang in the rear and become a completely alone army. Without the support of food, grass and equipment, how can we recapture it?
With Wancheng's ability, when the soldiers are starving and have no fighting ability, it is estimated that they will really have no choice but to perish.
No matter which angle you consider it, you must return to Wancheng immediately!
Both Gao Shun and Xu Huang made the correct judgment in an instant.
But it's easy to say that. Now that I have more than 30,000 people, how can I go back?
There has been a change in Wancheng, and it seems to be a big change! Everyone in Cao's army suddenly became depressed, while the soldiers of Liu Biao's army immediately became excited and high-spirited.
In just an instant, the situation collapsed!
Although Xu Huang led a large army into Liu Biao's camp and killed many Liu Biao soldiers, Liu Biao's army originally had a larger base than Cao's army. Although Cao's army had the upper hand just now, Cao's soldiers were about to overwhelm the enemy.
General Cai Mao was forced to surrender, but when Wancheng was on fire, the remaining number of Liu Biao's army was still more than 20,000.
The number of 20,000 is not small. With the morale of both sides at odds with each other at this moment, as long as our own army shows the slightest intention to retreat, the 20,000 Liu Biao army will probably chase them one after another, and it will only become worse.
More troublesome.
But Wancheng has to be saved. With the current situation, what should we do?
