Chapter 251 The Fall of Wancheng
On the third day after Ji Ling went north, the 30,000 Jingzhou Army led by Liu Pan also rushed to the ferry near Wancheng.
Because Liu Pan and the others planned to attack Wancheng by surprise, they stationed themselves near the ferry. Then, Liu Pan immediately sent someone to deliver a message to Cao Cao.
When Cao Cao learned that the Jingzhou Army had been stationed near Wancheng, he immediately summoned his ministers and said: "Everyone, there is a letter from the Jingzhou Army. They have been stationed near Wancheng. Now Wang Kai and Zhang are in the city.
Xiu didn't know that the Jingzhou army was coming, so I planned to send a surprise force to capture Wancheng."
When Cao Cao said this, everyone was puzzled because they had no idea what Cao Cao was thinking.
When Cao Cao saw this, he didn't tell the truth. After all, people have many mouths and he didn't want his plan to go to waste.
Afterwards, Cao Cao immediately wrote a letter and sent it to the Jingzhou Army Camp.
At the same time, Cao Cao secretly mobilized troops and generals to move Yue Xi, Le Jin and 20,000 troops to Xi'e County.
Besides, after Liu Pan received Cao Cao's letter, he immediately led his troops by boat and headed north to Xi'e County to wait.
After one day.
Liu Pan transported Yue Xi, Le Jin and 20,000 soldiers and horses to the ferry at Wancheng by boat.
Then, Yue Xi and Le Jin quietly led their troops to the south gate of Wancheng.
As for the Jingzhou Army led by Liu Pan, they stayed put and prepared to rush in from the water gate east of Wancheng when the war started.
With Cao Cao's deployment completed, Cao Cao immediately led the remaining 40,000 troops out of camp and formed a formation after receiving the news.
When Wang Kai learned that Cao's army was out of the city again, he led his 90,000 troops out of the city to form an array without realizing it.
When Cao Cao saw that Wang Kai had mobilized his entire army again, he immediately thought to himself: 'Wang Kai, please just exit Wancheng obediently after today's battle!'
Thinking of this, Cao Cao immediately ordered his soldiers to start forming an array.
After Wang Kai saw this, he also commanded the soldiers to form an array.
Because Wang Kai had the superior force, Wang Kai took the lead in attacking Cao Jun.
When Cao Cao saw Wang Kai's army attacking, he immediately ordered his soldiers to form a circular formation to resist the enemy. After all, he had already allocated 20,000 troops, plus the 10,000 people who had been injured in the battles in the past few days, he only had 40,000 troops.
He dared not confront Wang Kaijun head-on.
Besides, when Wang Kai saw that Cao Cao had laid out a circular formation, he immediately ordered his 90,000 troops to rush towards Cao Jun.
Soon, Cao Jun and Wang Kai's army fought fiercely again.
After the two armies fought for about an hour, Wang Kai suddenly realized that something was wrong because he did not see Yue Xi's presence.
At this time, Yue Xi and Le Jin were attacking the south gate of Wancheng with 20,000 soldiers and horses.
When the Xiliang army stationed at the south gate saw Cao Jun's appearance, a general immediately sent someone to send a message to Zhang Xiu at the north gate.
When Zhang Xiu learned that Cao Jun was attacking from the south gate, he was confused because how could Cao Jun attack from the south gate. At this time, because Jia Xu was not with Zhang Xiu, Zhang Xiu immediately led Bei
Ten thousand people from the gate rushed to the south gate to support them.
When Zhang Xiu rushed to the South Gate Tower, he saw that many Cao troops had boarded the South Gate Tower, because there were no generals guarding the South Gate and there were only 5,000 defenders on the South Gate.
Seeing that the situation was critical, Zhang Xiu immediately led his troops to fight.
But at this time, Le Jin had already climbed onto the tower.
Under the leadership of Le Jin, Cao Jun's soldiers also maintained the offensive momentum.
After Zhang Xiu fought for a while and discovered Le Jin's figure, he immediately shot Le Jin with his gun.
When Le Jin and Zhang Xiu came to kill him, he faced him with his gun without fear.
Because Zhang Xiu was eager to drive Cao's army out of the city, Zhang Xiu, who had the strength of the first class, did not show his original strength at all. He was also entangled by Le Jin of the first class.
Besides, when Zhang Xiu led his army to rush to the south gate for reinforcements, Jia Xu, who was handling affairs, also received the news that the south gate was in an emergency and Zhang Xiu led his troops to come to the rescue.
After Jia Xu thought about it deeply, he immediately guessed Cao Cao's treacherous plot. Cao Cao's real focus was Shuimen to the east of Wancheng, and the Jingzhou Army had already defected to Cao Cao's army.
Knowing this, Jia Xu quickly ordered the city sergeants to escort Zhang Xiu's aunt Zou to Ximen.
And he immediately rushed to the south gate to inform Zhang Xiu.
At this time, the 30,000 Jingzhou navy led by Liu Pan, Huang Zhong and Kuai Yue also came out from Wancheng ferry and attacked the east water gate of Wancheng.
After the Jingzhou navy appeared, the five thousand Xiliang sergeants at the east gate immediately shot at the Jingzhou navy with bows and arrows.
Upon seeing this, Liu Pan quickly asked his soldiers to hide in the building and shoot through the arrow holes.
Because the ships were armored, the bows and arrows of the Xiliang army did not harm the Jingzhou navy at all.
When the Jingzhou navy's tower boat approached the city gate, Liu Pan and Huang Zhong immediately led their troops to climb up the city tower from the top of the tower boat.
Five thousand officers and soldiers of the Xiliang Army saw that the Jingzhou navy was attacking the city, so they immediately went up to fight.
Upon seeing this, Liu Pan and Huang Zhong took the lead and charged into the Xiliang army.
Although the officers and soldiers of the Xiliang Army were elite, they had no ability to fight back against the inferior Liu Pan and the superior Huang Zhong.
After Liu Pan and Huang Zhong fought for a while, the 5,000 Xiliang army finally became frightened, and the 30,000 Jingzhou navy took advantage of the situation to cover up and kill the Xiliang army, which had no intention of fighting.
Soon, the east water gate of Wancheng was announced to have been breached.
After taking the city gate, Liu Pan ordered Huang Zhong to lead 10,000 soldiers and horses to attack the north gate of Wancheng to cut off Wang Kai's army's retreat.
Afterwards, Liu Pan left Kuai Yue and 10,000 troops to garrison the east gate.
As for Liu Pan himself, he personally led 10,000 troops to attack the south gate.
At this time, Jia Xu finally arrived at the south gate and found traces of Zhang Xiu.
When Jia Xu saw Zhang Xiu still fighting with Le Jin, he immediately ordered his soldiers to spread the word loudly.
When Zhang Xiu suddenly heard the soldiers shouting, he was accidentally injured by Le Jin, but Zhang Xiu also took the opportunity to escape from the battle.
Then, Zhang Xiu quickly rushed to the soldier who was delivering the message and asked, "What did you say?"
At this time, Jia Xu came out and said to Zhang Xiu: "My lord, something bad has happened! Cao Cao has mobilized the Jingzhou army. I'm afraid that the east gate has been lost now. Please follow me to break out from the west gate quickly. Wancheng is no longer available."
Guaranteed!"
Suddenly seeing Jia Xu coming out to speak, Zhang Xiu was stunned and quickly asked: "Where is my aunt?"
"I have ordered the sergeant to send Mrs. Zou to the west gate."
"Okay, let's withdraw our troops now."
Subsequently, Zhang Xiu quickly issued an order to withdraw his troops.
After receiving the military order, the soldiers of Xiliang immediately gave up fighting with Cao Jun and followed Zhang Xiu to the west gate.
Besides, when Le Jin saw Zhang Xiu leading his army to retreat, he did not pursue him deeply because Cao Cao's goal was to capture Wancheng.
Immediately afterwards, Le Jin immediately sent soldiers to open the city gate for Yue Xi outside the city.
As Yue Xi entered the city, Le Jin and Yue Xi immediately led their troops to attack the city.
Soon, Liu Pan met Yue Xi and Le Jin.
After the two soldiers and horses belonging to different camps met, they immediately discussed and then began to clear out the Xiliang army in the city.
At this time, Wang Kai finally confirmed what he was thinking and ordered the gold medal.
Immediately afterwards, Wang Kai quickly sent Qin Qiong to the north gate of Wancheng to check.
When Qin Qiong arrived at the north gate, he immediately opened the door loudly.
At this time, Huang Zhong had already led his troops to take over the north gate.
When Huang Zhong heard Qin Qiong's call at the door, he immediately shot an arrow at Qin Qiong's feet and shouted: "Wancheng has been captured by our Jingzhou army. If you take one step closer, you will die!"
Qin Qiong was furious after looking at the sharp arrow at his feet, but the military situation was urgent, so he immediately rushed back to report to Wang Kai.
After Wang Kai learned that Wancheng had fallen, he immediately shouted loudly: "All officers and men listen to the order and follow me back to Wancheng!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Ji quickly persuaded them, because if they continued to fight, they would be attacked from both sides.
After Xu Ji persuaded, the rest of the people also followed suit.
Chapter completed!
