The Nameless of the Common Clans

"The common man bullied others too much!" After a melee, Yuan Shu withdrew to the camp under the protection of his soldiers and arranged for archers to shoot at the base, so that Hua Xiong could not rush in. However, in today's battle, the losses were heavy, and many soldiers trampled on each other. , there were countless casualties, and the losses on Chen Mo's side were probably only some kerosene and the Xiliang cavalry who died in the melee. I don't know if it was enough for 500.

After he was the fourth generation and the third prince, he commanded an army of 50,000 people. He was beaten to disgrace by Chen Mo, a little thief who didn't even have a crown. He was outnumbered. This made Yuan Shu not angry.

All the generals in the tent bowed their heads and remained silent. Chen Mo first used traps, trebuchets and kerosene to suppress their morale. When it was getting late and they were preparing to withdraw, he suddenly sent out cavalry.

It cannot be said that Yuan Shu's generals are incompetent. It can only be said that Chen Mo grasped this opportunity very well. Just when Yuan Jun's fighting spirit was almost worn out and he was preparing to withdraw, the advantage of the cavalry was also here. They were too mobile and they simply did not have enough. There is no time to respond. When the army is retreating, it suddenly needs to change its formation. Even gods can't do it.

But Yuan Shu was furious at this moment, and no one dared to refute.

"Lord!" Yang Hong thought for a moment and said, "Chen Mo is a scheming person. Today's defeat seems to be due to the defeat of our army, but in fact it is Chen Mo who used traps and catapults to gradually deplete the morale of our army. The morale of the soldiers was at its lowest when the soldiers were withdrawing. Chen Mo had been avoiding fighting, but suddenly rushed out when our troops were withdrawing. It was really cunning. This battle was not the fault of the soldiers. The top priority was to calm the morale of the soldiers. , Regain your morale, and fight Chen Mo again, you will definitely be able to defeat him in one battle."

The generals were slightly relieved when they heard this. After Yang Hong said this, the guilt on them was reduced a lot, and for a while, they felt a lot of gratitude to Yang Hong.

"Moreover, Chen Mo's methods should have been exhausted today. When our army's morale recovers, when we fight again tomorrow, it will be a showdown." Yang Hong said with a smile, "So my lord, there is no need to worry."

These crooked moves can only be used once. Now that Chen Mo's prepared traps have been cleared away, it will be difficult to pose a threat to the army. If they fight again, the only thing that will matter is the offensive and defensive skills of both sides.

As for the routines of attacking and defending the camp, it was more about testing the generals' control over the details. At this point, Yuan Shu had many soldiers and generals, but Chen Mo actually had no danger to defend, so Yuan Shu naturally had the advantage.

"Okay!" After hearing this, Yuan Shu slapped the table and said, "The generals will follow the advice of the military advisor, clean up military discipline, and restore morale!"

"General, take your orders!" All the generals bowed to their orders and then left.

…

Yang people gathered, Chen Mo camped.

"I admire the general's tactics." After Hua Xiong led his army back, he looked at Chen Mo with admiration. This battle was really won. If Yuan Shu hadn't hid back in the camp, he might have defeated Yuan Shu. Caught alive.

"Don't be too busy admiring me." When Chen Mo saw Hua Xiong coming back, he motioned for him to sit down and said, "General Yang just sent a message that the people on the top of the mountain have surrendered and have now been taken down the mountain for custody."

After all, it was difficult to find water at the top of the cliff. Yu She was destroyed, food and grass were cut off, and there were no bows or arrows. After being trapped for two days, he could no longer hold on.

"The general's intention is..." Hua Xiong said unexpectedly.

"Now that the tops of the cliffs on both sides have been completely occupied by our troops, Yang Renju no longer needs to defend them. We will withdraw our troops tonight!" Chen Mo nodded at the table.

"If we have a great victory, how can we withdraw our troops at this time?" Hu Zhen asked with a frown.

"We came here to stop Yuan Shu and remove Yuan's army from the top of the cliff. Now our goal has been achieved. After all, this place is not as dangerous as Yique Pass. If we start a battle here, Yuan Shu's troops and horses will be many times more than mine, which will ultimately be detrimental to our army. It is better to retreat to Yique Pass and defend it." Chen Mo said with a smile.

"The general is joking. Today our army defeated Yuan Shu without injuring many people. After Sun Jian left, Yuan Shu has nothing to fear. The general boosted Yuan Shu's morale like this, which is too much... haha~" Hu Zhen shook his head and said, He suffered a defeat at the hands of Sun Jian in the past, but now seeing that Yuan Shu is so easy to bully, and Hua Xiong has achieved great achievements one after another, he will definitely be awarded a title after the war, and maybe it will directly climb on his head, but this time he came out without any success. How can you be willing to evacuate without being established?

"I really don't have much courage. Why don't I and General Hua Xiong retreat to Yique Pass? General Hu will continue to garrison here. If we lose, we can withdraw."

"This is natural." Hu Zhen asked himself that Chen Mo's methods had been clearly seen, and this time when he sent troops, Chen Mo only had more than 2,000 troops from his own army, and Hua Xiong only had 3,000 troops, while he had two schools of troops, almost half. This This was also the reason why Hu Zhen refused to buy Chen Mo's face several times.

"In that case, let's make a decision." Chen Mo ignored Hu Zhen and stood up immediately, led Hua Xiong's troops out of the camp, and returned to Yique Pass at night. Hu Zhen sent people overnight to follow Chen Mo's method and continue There were barbs all over the outside of the camp, and many trenches were dug. He was preparing to fight a victorious battle himself. He could suppress Chen Mo's arrogance and gain a lot of merit at the same time.

However, Yuan Shu obviously wanted to prevent Chen Mo from repeating his old tricks again, so he deployed a lot of troops outside to monitor the movement at night. Some people wanted to set traps and rushed to fight. Hu Zhen's troops were busy all night and lost many people, but The traps laid were not half as good as before.

"This Chen Jialang is also at a loss for skills, so he can only repeat his old tricks." Early the next morning, Yuan Shu, who had slept all night, heard his subordinates report what happened last night, and couldn't help but smile to the generals.

"Lord, the general has mobilized a lot of fire oil. Today we will use this method to burn down his camp!" Zhang Xun said with a smile.

"More than that!" Yang Hong shook his head and said, "Lord, you can send two troops to attack the enemy from behind after the battle to prevent Chen Mo from taking the opportunity to escape back to Yique Pass. If he escapes back to Yique Pass, this battle will be difficult to fight."

"Good!" Yuan Shu nodded, and immediately appointed two generals to lead 10,000 troops each. After the battle, they went around the rear of the enemy camp and blocked the enemy's way back.

Woo~

The excited horn accompanied the rumbling of war drums. The Yuan army, which had been resting for a night, went out of the camp again. Dozens of catapults were slowly pushed out from the camp and approached Hu Zhen's camp.

Looking at the battle of the Yuan army, Hu Zhen sneered disdainfully. After a day, Yuan Shu still used the old routine. After four generations of three officials, he was just a little more famous, not worth worrying about.

He immediately ordered the archers to suppress it and prevent the opponent's catapult from approaching easily. At the same time, he stared at the opponent's catapult, waiting for the opponent's catapult to fall into the trap like yesterday, and then his own catapult would show its power.

However, to his surprise, the enemy's catapult stopped at a distance from the trap he had dug. Things seemed to be different from what he expected.

In fact, it is not difficult to understand. The trap that Chen Mo dug yesterday was carefully calculated by Chen Mo. The range of both sides and the approximate position of the enemy's catapult were all viewed from the perspective of Yuan Shu's command. Otherwise, Dian Wei would not have to go to provoke him to delay time. The barbs and traps outside the camp were also carefully designed. Chen Mo's attainments in mathematics were not low. The traps he set up could only be learned by people like Yang Xiu who had a photographic memory and was proficient in mathematics. Otherwise, even experienced generals could not imitate Chen Mo's method of setting up traps without understanding mathematics.

Hu Zhen thought that it was easy to win yesterday, but he didn't know how much effort Chen Mo had put into the victory yesterday, which allowed Yuan Shu to control the rhythm step by step. Moreover, Yuan Shu suffered a loss once, so he was naturally wary of Chen Mo's old tricks. Now Hu Zhen copied it again, but he didn't even understand the fundamental problem. How could he fool Yuan Shu?

Just when Hu Zhen was stunned, Yuan Shu's catapults had begun to put kerosene cans, and cans of kerosene fell towards the wall of the camp. In a hurry, Hu Zhen was dragged down the wall by the guards. The next moment, the whole wall was infected with countless kerosene. The pungent smell finally made Hu Zhen react. This was how Chen Mo dealt with Yuan Jun yesterday, but today it was Yuan Jun who dealt with him.

"Quick, evacuate!" Hu Zhen hurriedly ordered the soldiers on the wall to run down without caring about anything else, but the next moment, countless rockets had been fired, and in an instant, the entire camp wall was engulfed in a sea of ​​fire.

Hu Zhen rolled and crawled up to an arrow tower and looked into the distance. He saw Yuan Shu's army began to clear traps and search for pits with spears. Soon, the trenches he dug overnight were exposed.

The catapult began to move forward, and stopped in front of the pit, and began to fire fire pots at the camp.

It's over!

Hu Zhen's face turned pale. The fire pots he stored around the catapult were originally for the convenience of attacking later, but now, they have become a death warrant here.

The pungent smell of kerosene spread all around, and the rockets that followed made the entire military camp fall into a sea of ​​fire in an instant.

Countless war horses were in chaos before anyone could ride them. The war horses that jumped out of the sea of ​​fire ran everywhere, and the soldiers along the way were hit and their bones were broken, and the whole camp was on fire.

Hu Zhen was trapped in the fire. He jumped down from the arrow tower in a panic. His personal guards led his warhorse to him. He opened the gate at the back and rushed out. However, he finally rushed out of the sea of ​​fire. Looking at the Yuan army soldiers who surrounded him, Hu Zhen's face was pale. Until now, he still didn't understand where he was inferior to Chen Mo? Why did Chen Mo beat the enemy without any chance of fighting back yesterday, but today he used the same method that the enemy used to beat him without any chance of fighting back.

"Why don't you dismount and surrender?" Several generals of the Yuan army came to the front of the battle and looked at Hu Zhen's small group of people with a playful and happy voice.

Yesterday, they were beaten to a pulp by these Xiliang troops. Today, they won back a city. How could they not be happy?

Hu Zhen looked at the remaining hundreds of soldiers behind him, and then looked at the sea of ​​fire behind him. Without hesitating for too long, he threw away his weapons and dismounted to surrender...
