Cao Ren's face turned red. He naturally understood the truth on the battlefield. "Huh, if you want to defeat our army, you have to see if you have this ability."

"Listen, officers and men of Cao's army. Anyone who lays down his weapon and surrenders will be forgiven by me. If you resist stubbornly, you will die. Look around you. Is there any way to survive?" Taishi Ci shouted. Cao Ren was a highly regarded general by Cao Cao.

Moreover, Cao Cao's tribe would not choose to surrender even after being captured, but other soldiers are different. When they face a life and death crisis, they are likely to choose the side that is beneficial to them. Ordinary soldiers also have them on the battlefield.

desire to survive.

Otherwise, why would any of Cao's soldiers choose to surrender just now?

At this time, Cao Ren had two thousand soldiers of Cao's army by his side. However, after the battle just now, the soldiers in the army could no longer see the hope of victory, especially in the face of the Yizhou Army's bows, crossbows, and bed crossbows.

At that time, Cao Jun's soldiers could only continue to fall.

More than 4,000 Cao Jun soldiers entered the city recently, but now there are more than 2,000 Cao Jun soldiers who survived. This is the cruelty of war.

Although the lieutenant generals of the army led by Cao Ren were attacking the Yizhou Army, the army did not stay away from the city gate. As long as they had a chance to seize the city gate, they could escape from the city. In this way, the army on the city wall would be able to attack Cao Jun.

poses a considerable threat.

Assaulting the enemy's formation will not succeed. If we give up the opportunity to seize the city gate, we will be dead. Cao Ren still understands these reasons.

Cao's soldiers were shaken, especially when the soldiers in the army began to surrender. More and more Cao's soldiers gave up their persistence. They could not succeed in seizing the city gate and attacking the enemy's formation had no effect. Such a battle made

They see no hope of victory.

Although Cao Ren had strict requirements for the soldiers in the army, in this case, the order from the general did not have a great impact on the soldiers in the army. The soldiers in the army needed to survive the battle.

When the soldiers of Cao's army stopped surrendering, Taishi Ci waved his hand, and the Yizhou army stepped forward again. The crossbow cart was pushed to the front of the formation, and even the bed crossbow was carried up.

The breath of death spread among Cao's army, and they had no doubt how many soldiers in Cao's army would survive after these crossbow arrows passed.

"General, the city gate is difficult to seize. Our army's destruction of the sword gate is simply difficult to break without the lack of siege equipment." A general stepped forward and whispered.

Cao Ren nodded solemnly. There were more than a thousand soldiers of Cao Ren's army who had just surrendered. As a result, there were less than a thousand soldiers around Cao Ren, and the Yizhou army still looked so urgent.

Not only the soldiers in the army, but also Cao Ren himself did not see any hope of victory in this confrontation.

In such a situation, it is harder to win than to reach the sky. This is the cruelty of war. Falling into the enemy's plan, it is not that simple to escape from the plan.

Cao Ren regretted it in his heart. If he had been cautious enough, the army would not have reached the point where it is now. Now that Jiangling City and Xiangyang City have fallen into the hands of the Jin army, Cao Ren's advantage in Jingzhou will no longer exist, and the southern counties will

It is impossible for the soldiers and horses to pose a threat to the Yizhou Army.

The defeat of Jingzhou meant that Wancheng would withstand a fierce enemy attack.

Before the war started, Cao Ren was confident enough to defend Jiangling City and Xiangyang, but only after the actual battle with the Yizhou Army did he realize how terrifying the Yizhou Army was. After successive battles, the elite of the Yizhou Army was no longer among the best.

Like the initial campaign in Jingzhou, they exuded an elite aura when facing the war. When fighting against such an army, one must be more cautious.

If there is a little negligence, the army may become defeated. The current experience of Cao's army is a good illustration.

Cao Ren has such prestige in the army. He has followed Cao Cao for many years and has experienced many battles. He has rich experience on the battlefield. When facing the Yizhou Army, he has to bear the price of failure. This kind of thing is easy to do.

It's not going to be easy on anyone.

However, Cao's army has not won a victory since the battle with Lu Bu's army. Lu Bu's army is famous for its bravery among the armies of the princes. If you want to defeat Lu Bu's army, it is impossible for the armies of other princes.

A small challenge.

Besides, since Lu Bu raised his army, he has gone through many wars, but Lu Bu has always maintained an advantage in the elite army, and the princes have been unable to catch up with Lu Bu.

"Put down your weapons and surrender." Cao Ren sighed. In this situation, there is no point in persisting. At most, the Yizhou army will only have to pay some crossbow arrows. Moreover, these crossbow arrows belong to Cao Jun. Use Cao Jun's crossbow arrows to deal with Cao Jun.

It seems like this isn't the first time something like this has happened.

"General, no!" a general shouted.

Cao Ren's eyes were slightly red and he said: "Our army has been defeated. If we persist, more soldiers will die on the battlefield. After joining the enemy, you will still have a way to survive."

"The last general is willing to follow the general and fight to the death on the battlefield." The general said with cupped fists.

"The last general is willing to follow the general and fight to the death on the battlefield." Several generals said in unison.

Cao Ren waved his hand and said: "If you die in battle, what impact will it have on the current army? If you keep a useful body, you may be able to use it for the prime minister."

"Don't you even obey my general's orders?" Cao Ren suddenly raised his voice.

"Here." When the generals in the army said this word, their hearts were bleeding. They were elite soldiers of Cao's army, but they were so cowardly and unlucky at the hands of the Yizhou army.

When all the soldiers of Cao's army put down their swords, the soldiers of Yizhou army who were holding sharp swords slowly stepped forward. Only by tying up the enemy troops would they be most at ease.

Cao Ren suddenly pulled out the sword from his waist and pointed it at his neck.

A general with quick eyesight and quick hands immediately stepped forward and grabbed Cao Ren's right hand holding the long sword. "The general is a general in the army. Even after becoming a prisoner of the enemy, there is no chance of returning to the army. When the general returns to the army,

After winning the battle, I will avenge the dead soldiers."

Cao Ren loosened his hand and thought of the 20,000 soldiers who followed him into battle.

Cao Ren and others surrendered, and the battle in Xiangyang City came to an end. Taishi Ci laughed heartily when he saw this. He did not expect that this battle not only captured Xiangyang City, but also captured Cao Ren, the general of Cao's army. These prisoners are of great value.

Outside the city, Zhao Yan's face was as gloomy as water. Although there were nearly four thousand soldiers around him, he had no way to deal with the majestic Xiangyang City. At this time, Zhao Yan even hated why the city of Xiangyang City had to be built so high.
