The only hope was to escape the net and head for North Carolina, where he might be able to join forces with Joe Johnston and defeat Sherman.
It was a pretty slim hope, at best.

Who had soldiers General lee or General grant?
If you mean the most, Grant. When the two first met at the Wilderness, Lee had 62,233 effectives, to Grant's 113,012. Grant was getting constant new troops arriving, while Lee was getting few reinforcements. That being said, Lee still managed to hold Grant, and defeated him several times, often with great slaughter, like at Cold Harbor. However, it was a war of attrition, and Grant eventually wore the gallant southern army down.
