Chapter 307: The Fierce Battle of Wancheng in the Third Front Combat Twelve
Gao Shun knew very well that if the army was suddenly ambushed when the army was in a hurry, the whole army would be in chaos.
But the current situation no longer allowed him to slowly send scouts to inquire about the surrounding roads.
There are changes in Wancheng. Who knows how long he can last. Now all Gao Shun can do is to return to Wancheng as quickly as possible and not delay for a moment.
If you are slower, the risk of Wancheng falling will increase.
Gao Shun gritted his teeth and sent the trapped camp to the rear of the entire army.
When he left Wancheng, Gao Shun took 500 sergeants with him. After a battle with Liu Biao's army, there were still about 300 sergeants left.
Logically speaking, the trapped camp should be placed at the forefront of the entire army no matter what time or place it is. It should be used as the sharp cone of the army to deal the most violent blow to the enemy.
But at this moment, out of consideration for the possibility of being ambushed, Gao Shun still chose to place the three hundred trapped sergeants at the rear of the army.
Place the trapped camp at the rear of the army. If there is a sudden attack, then when the front and middle armies are in chaos, as long as the trapped camp does not panic, you may be able to get a chance. On the contrary, as usual, place the trapped camp in the front.
If the army is attacked, it will definitely be the enemy's first target to be destroyed.
The trapped camp is not only the most elite unit in the army, but also the role model for the entire army and the pillar of morale of the entire army. Now that the morale of Cao's army is already low, it would be bad if it encounters an ambush. If the trapped camp is destroyed first, it will be high.
Shun could almost imagine the situation when these 12,000 people were instantly destroyed.
After moving the trapped camp to the rear, Gao Shun continued to lead the entire army in a hurry.
We are almost at Wancheng. After driving for a while, the city wall of Wancheng is already faintly visible.
Perhaps, he is really too preoccupied. No matter how wise Zhuge Liang is, he probably won't be able to think of everything.
Perhaps he was too concerned about the ambush. After all, Liu Beijun was afraid that it would be too late to attack Wancheng at this moment, so how could he send extra manpower to set up an ambush.
"Wancheng is right in front of you! Increase your speed!" Putting aside the worries in his heart, Gao Shun took a breath and shouted loudly to the entire army.
However, the moment he finished speaking, the surrounding fire suddenly lit up, and the soldiers of Liu Bei's army who had been ambushing beside the road surged out in an instant.
Unexpectedly, the enemy finally set up an ambush! And just when he let down his guard, he suddenly rushed out!
"Form up and defend!" However, Gao Shun was mentally prepared along the way and had notified the soldiers that there might be an ambush, so his response was quite timely.
However, although Gao Shun reacted quickly, the soldiers under his command did not have that kind of reaction speed.
It has to be said that the time Liu Beijun chose to attack was extremely appropriate.
Gao Shun was wary of Zhuge Liang's possible ambush, and also reminded his sergeants to be careful of ambushes. Therefore, although Cao's army was in a hurry along the way, they also had a defensive mind.
However, no ambush appeared along the way. When we approached Wancheng, the walls of Wancheng were already visible, so everyone gradually relaxed and thought that the probability of an ambush was already very small.
When Gao Shun said "speed up a little more", it was equivalent to announcing to the entire army that there would be no ambushes or anything like that!
Therefore, everyone's guard was put down at this moment.
And at this moment, Liu Beijun's ambush suddenly came out!
It can be said that the enemy's location for the ambush and the timing of the attack were perfect.
Although Gao Shun shouted for formation the moment the enemy troops appeared, it was a pity that the soldiers' reaction was still a little slow. After all, they were just ordinary soldiers. They had just breathed a sigh of relief, so how could they come back to their senses immediately?
Liu Beijun was like a sharp nail, driving hard into Cao Jun's formation.
I saw Liu Bei's soldiers piercing the chests of Cao's soldiers with their spears, and fiercely cutting the carotid arteries of Cao's soldiers with their sharp swords.
In just a split second, there were killing sounds and wails all over the land!
In the blink of an eye, more than two hundred soldiers of Cao's army were killed in the battle, but less than ten soldiers of Liu Bei's army were lost!
Chen Dao looked at the battlefield in front of him and smiled with satisfaction.
Not only the ambush was set up, but the location of the ambush and the timing of the attack were all so clever. Chen now admires Zhuge Liang so much that everything he saw in front of him fully demonstrated Zhuge Liang's strategic plan.
As the general who set up an ambush this time, although he only led 2,500 men, the individual combat capabilities of these 2,500 men were not weak. Although they were not as good as the elite white men he commanded, they were not far behind.
Too much concession.
After all, as the ace troops under Liu Bei, the White Elite Soldiers naturally had to devote themselves whole-heartedly to the siege of Wancheng and could not carry out a second-rate ambush mission.
However, Chen Dao was quite confident that under the ambush attack, these two thousand and five hundred men would definitely be able to wipe out Cao's army, which was several times his own.
The battle situation so far has been as smooth as Chen Dao expected. Liu Beijun was like a sharp sword, cutting the flesh of Cao Jun one by one.
