Chapter 3105: Capture the enemy alive
It's just the living conditions that force them to make such a choice, otherwise, they can only starve to death.
The charge of the Jin army accelerated Cao's army's defeat and flight. Even with a supervising team on the side to supervise, the effect was not very great. Cao's soldiers no longer had any hope of victory.
Zhao Yan also learned about the situation in the army. He could only do his best to do the current things. It was not that Cao Jun was not tenacious enough when dealing with the enemy, but that their opponents were too strong.
Cavalry can play a huge role on the battlefield, especially in such a situation.
A ray of sunset reflected on the fleeing soldiers of Cao's army, adding a touch of atmosphere to the bustle in Wancheng.
The white horse flashed the silver spear, and no Cao Jun soldiers dared to step forward to block Zhao Yun on his way forward.
Previous lessons have been taught to Cao Jun's generals. As long as they see Zhao Yun, it is most correct to avoid him. Other actions will only speed up their death.
"The enemy will die!" Zhao Yun shouted and rushed forward, sweeping towards Zhao Yan with the spear in his hand.
Zhao Yun did not like the performance of the enemy general Zhao Yan. If a general did not have the most basic courage when facing the enemy, how could he expect the generals to perform better?
The spear swept across, and Zhao Yan was swept off his horse before he could even raise the spear in his hand.
After Zhao Yun saw this scene, he was slightly shocked. His move just now did not pose much of a threat. It was more to prevent Zhao Yan from escaping. Unexpectedly, Zhao Yan was knocked off his horse with one shot.
.
The two white-horse Yi Cong got off their horses very quickly and stepped forward to tie Zhao Yan up.
Zhao Yan was captured alive by the enemy, which made Cao's soldiers even more panic-stricken.
This pursuit directly caused Cao Jun to withdraw from Wancheng.
"Command the lieutenants of the army to stabilize the city. If any young people are found in the city taking the opportunity to cause trouble, they will be killed directly." Zhao Yun ordered.
As an important city for Cao's army, Wancheng had a considerable amount of grain, grass and baggage stored in it. After the Jin army entered the city, they wrested control of the grain and grass baggage from Cao's army. The grain and grass baggage was very important to an army.
It is of great significance. After controlling the grain and grass baggage, it can greatly alleviate the current pressure of the Jin army on grain and grass.
The defeat of Cao's army caused Wancheng to fall under the control of Jin's army. Perhaps Xiahou Yuan did not expect that Cao's army would be defeated by Jin's army just on the first day when the road leading to the city wall was successfully constructed.
This battle had a huge impact on the entire battlefield. Wancheng, Xiangyang, and Jiangling were all the most important cities in Jingzhou. The loss of these three cities meant that the most prosperous counties in Jingzhou fell into Lu Bu's control.
Under control, as for the counties in the southern part of Jingzhou, they can be easily defeated when the army arrives.
After the battle, the situation for Cao Cao's army has become extremely serious. If Cao Cao cannot perform more outstandingly in the subsequent battles, Cao Cao will lose even more cities.
After Xiahou Yuan led his army to escape from Wancheng, it was already dusk. Less than ten thousand soldiers followed Xiahou Yuan to escape from the city. Many soldiers took the initiative to stay in the city during the retreat. They could no longer be seen from Cao Jun.
With the hope of victory, instead of following Xia Houyuan and continuing to endure the nightmare caused by the war, it would be better to just stay in the city, even if he becomes a prisoner of the enemy, than to escape like this.
It is not a tragedy for the whole army that the lieutenants of the army have such thoughts when facing the war. Ordinary generals still have such thoughts when fighting the enemy. Such an army will be like this when fighting against the enemy.
What a scene.
Xia Houyuan looked at the panic-looking soldiers behind him and felt a little sad in his heart. On the battlefield in Wancheng, Cao Jun had completely failed and lost Wancheng. It was extremely difficult for Cao Jun to continue to control Jingzhou. The combat effectiveness of the Jin army had already been reduced.
It was greatly reflected in this battle.
Compared with the Jin army, there was a big gap in the bravery of Cao's army. Xiahou Yuan felt sad for the first time. He had led troops in battles for many years, and many powerful enemies fell into his hands. However, when fighting against the Jin army, he let
Xia Houyuan felt powerless.
Fighting with the Jin army feels very uncomfortable. The enemy's strength is too strong, and this is the consequence.
No matter what thoughts the soldiers in the army had, Cao Jun had failed in this battle, and the defeat was so complete.
"General, General Zhao Yan led the army to cut off the rear and captured the enemy general alive." A general came forward on horseback, his expression full of panic.
Xia Houyuan sighed: "General Zhao is also a famous general in the army."
Since the war with the Jin army, many famous generals of the Cao army have been captured alive or killed by the Jin army. The so-called famous generals of the Cao army appear so fragile in front of the Jin generals. Their command of the army is completely different from what they used to do against the enemy.
time effect.
Cheng Yu fell into silence. In this confrontation, Cao's army was defeated unjustly. The Jin army relied on its own strength to attack Wancheng. The defenders of Wancheng were strong, but the combat effectiveness shown by the Jin army was
Far superior to Cao Jun.
"Master Cheng, now that our army has withdrawn from Wancheng, we should rush to Xudu as soon as possible." Xia Houyuan said.
"General, please send more scouts to inquire about the situation on the battlefield. The Jin army has a large number of troops, and there are elite cavalry in the army. If the enemy sends cavalry, our army will face greater dangers," Cheng Yu reminded.
.
The failure made Cao's army panic. What the soldiers in the army needed most at this time was to stabilize themselves. If the enemy sent cavalry to pursue them at this time, what would happen to Cao's army?
Xia Houyuan nodded solemnly. Although he was already five miles away from Wancheng at this time, there were resourceful men like Guo Jia and Pang Tong among the Jin army. There is no doubt that they are powerful in strategy.
Why Cao's army in Wancheng suffered so many losses when fighting the enemy has a lot to do with Guo Jia.
If Guo Jia's army could have twice the number of defenders, Wancheng would have been in danger long ago.
No one can imagine that at first, the Jin army who followed Xu Huang was at a numerical disadvantage. After repeated battles, the Jin army actually gained a numerical advantage, and this was because Cao Jun had a city as a support.
, although Cao Jun brought a lot of trouble to the Jin Army, overall, it was Cao Jun's officers and men who suffered the greater losses.
