Chapter 319: The Fierce Battle of Wancheng in the Three-Front Combat Twenty-Four
Hao Zhao led his troops of less than two hundred people out of the city.
The soldiers trapped in the camp were already very tired at this time. After all, although they were elite troops, they were still ordinary people and did not have unlimited energy. After a series of fierce battles, it was normal for them to be exhausted.
Their situation was not much better than that of ordinary soldiers, and their physical fatigue was also obvious.
Their ability to stand up, raise their weapons, and continue fighting is entirely supported by their extraordinary will and belief.
The only ambition to be trapped is to die. There will only be trapped soldiers who die on the battlefield, but there will never be those trapped soldiers who fall down from exhaustion.
Even though my feet felt like lead, and every step I took felt excruciating pain, no one fell behind, and no one fell behind.
Although their hands seemed to have lost all strength, everyone tightly held the weapons in their hands, and no one dropped their weapons on the ground because they lost strength.
This is the most elite unit of Cao's army - the trapped camp! They can fail and die in battle, but they must never retreat, let alone give up!
After Zhang Fei left with all his troops, Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang and other civil and military figures waited for the news under the protection of only dozens of personal guards.
Everyone is hoping that Zhang Fei can defeat the returning Cao army as soon as possible, and then use the power of victory to capture Wancheng in one go.
Just when they were full of confidence in Zhang Fei, they received news that Hao Zhao was leading his troops out of the city.
Everyone, including Liu Bei, was shocked. Are there any capable men in Wancheng?
Cao's army in Wancheng left the city at this time, and it was obvious what their intentions were.
It's just that everyone witnessed the brutal battle on the Wancheng wall with their own eyes, including the sight of Cao's soldiers collapsing to the ground one by one when Zhang Fei led his army to withdraw.
In a situation like Wancheng's, how could it be possible to send manpower to attack Zhang Fei's rear?
Even if they barely manage to squeeze out some manpower, what kind of combat effectiveness can they have if they are already in an extremely tired state? If they attack Zhang Fei, isn't it clear that they are going to die?
When the scouts sent out reported again that there were only 200 Cao troops leaving the city, everyone was not worried at all.
What can a mere two hundred people do? Not to mention that all of them are exhausted. Even if everyone is in high spirits, two hundred people can't disrupt the situation.
If they rushed into Zhang Feijun's rear formation like this, they would probably be overwhelmed and annihilated immediately.
If it is a force of about a thousand people, it will definitely pose a huge threat to Zhang Fei's rear team, and must be given full attention and vigilance. But is it possible for Wancheng to gather a force of about a thousand people?
It is estimated that the total number of guards in Wancheng is less than a thousand.
Now that the opponent only has 200 people, or 200 people who have lost all their strength, what else do they need to be afraid of? It’s not worth mentioning at all!
"Military advisor, in my opinion, we don't need to bother my third brother. How about letting these personal soldiers destroy Cao's army as they leave the city?" Liu Bei and others have more than 80 personal soldiers in total. As personal soldiers, their
The strength is inherently stronger than that of ordinary soldiers. Although the number of enemy troops is two hundred, they are all exhausted. Liu Bei has enough confidence that he can defeat or even annihilate them all with few against many.
When Zhuge Liang heard this, he agreed with Liu Bei's proposal without any hesitation. In his opinion, the accident on Zhang Fei's side could be reduced by one point. Although these Cao troops could not pose any threat to Zhang Fei's side, if it really happened
If they are allowed to rush over, it will be a variable after all, so it is better to eliminate them as soon as possible.
Liu Bei saw that Zhuge Liang had no objection, so he left twenty soldiers to protect everyone, and asked Chen Dao to lead the remaining sixty people to intercept Cao's army.
This can also be regarded as giving Chen Dao an opportunity to make up for his previous mistakes, not to mention that there are few available people around Liu Bei. After Zhang Fei left, he could only leave the task of commanding the army to Chen Dao.
Although it was a decision made by no one, Chen Dao was still grateful to Liu Bei for assigning him to attack. After receiving the order, Chen Dao immediately led sixty soldiers and rushed in the direction of the two hundred Cao troops.
Not long after Hao Zhao left the city with two hundred soldiers, he saw an enemy general leading dozens of soldiers and horses toward his own army.
Dozens of people? You can’t be mistaken! Does Liu Bei think that he only needs a few dozen people to defeat my two hundred soldiers? He is overestimating his own capabilities!
Indeed, as of now, these two hundred people are all exhausted and in very bad condition.
But so what? I am invincible if I have the ambition to trap the enemy! The strength and prestige of the enemy camp cannot be blown out by this mouth alone! Even though the fatigue has reduced the combat effectiveness of these two hundred people, Cao Jun is still Cao Jun
Our elite division has always had high morale and fighting spirit.
No matter how weakened the trapped camp is, after all, it is not something you can handle with just a few dozen people!
