The Nameless of the Common Clans

The next day, it was already three o'clock in the morning. After breakfast, Yang Ping quickly mobilized his troops and horses out of the camp. There were 5,000 troops and horses. Some of them were lost before. Yang Ping left 500 men to guard the camp and brought 4,000 troops out of the camp. Prepare to fight to the death with Chen Mo.

"General, there are too few troops guarding the camp!" Xu Huang frowned and looked at Yang Ping. With such a desperate move, it would be easy to win, but if he loses, there will be no way to retreat. Xu Huang's plan of encirclement on three sides will be destroyed. collapse.

"Is Gongming teaching me how to fight?" Yang Ping sat on the horse and glanced sideways at Xu Huang, questioning with a touch of disdain and condescension.

"I don't dare, but if we lose this battle, our army may have no way to retreat!" Xu Huang frowned.

"Ha~" Yang Ping shook his head and said: "No wonder Gongming was defeated by Chen Mo several times. He had to fight with all his strength, just like in the past when King Xiang burned the cauldron and Han Xin fought against the water. Our army's strength is already small. If they are as timid as you, How can we win the war?"

Xu Huang frowned even more when he heard this. What makes you think you can be compared with Xiang Yu and Han Xin? And in this kind of battle, people don’t just rush forward without the slightest plan, right?

He wanted to persuade him again, but Yang Ping would never pay attention to him again and sneered: "Is it possible that Gongming has lost two games in a row and is worried that my general will defeat Chen Mo?"

Xu Huang felt his heart pounding and retreated silently without saying a word. After all, he was an outsider after all. This property belonged to his Yang family. If Yang Ping didn't listen to good advice, what did it have to do with Xu Huang?

Even so, the faint feeling of powerlessness made Xu Huang feel uncomfortable. He had seen through Chen Mo's plan, but Chen Mo was not planning on him, but Yang Ping and Yang Feng. The feeling of knowing the other party's intentions but being powerless was really... It makes people uncomfortable.

"Go to Chen Mo's camp and ask, it's already past breakfast, why haven't you come to fight?" Yang Ping waited in front of the two armies for a long time, feeling numb between his legs, but there was no action from the opposite camp. After getting ready, he became a little impatient and waved his hand and ordered a soldier to shout outside Chen Mo's camp. What did Chen Mo mean by this?

The general took the order, rushed away, and soon came back. He saluted Yang Ping and said: "General, the generals in the Hedong military camp said that they only said it was after breakfast, but did not say when. "The troops are being organized in the camp. I hope the general will wait a moment."

"What do you mean?" Yang Ping said angrily, "Are you kidding me?"

Xu Huang sighed and said: "Chen Mo did only say after breakfast, but he didn't say the specific time. The other party did not breach the contract."

"Then what should I do? Do I have to wait here forever?" Yang Ping asked dissatisfied.

Xu Huang didn't say anything more. At present, it seems that unless Yang Ping breaks his promise, this is really the only way.

By retreating rashly, Yang Ping lost all the momentum he wanted. Yang Ping also knew this truth. Even if he knew that Chen Mo was playing tricks on him, he could only continue to wait.

On the other side, at Chen Mo's camp, he stood on the archery tower and looked at the army in the distance. Chen Mo broke off the corn cakes in his hands and kept throwing them into his mouth. He looked at the direction of the sun from time to time. It was almost early summer, although the sun was not too strong. , but it will still feel uncomfortable after a long time.

"Lord, is it really going to be noon?" Cui Geng and Bao Geng came to Chen Mo and said, "The soldiers have finished their breakfast and can go out at any time."

"Let the soldiers eat and drink first, and then leave the camp when they are ready, Bao Geng." Chen Mo nodded.

"The general is here!" Bao Geng stepped forward quickly and said.

"Look, the enemy has many soldiers and horses, and there shouldn't be many defenders in the camp. Don't lead the cavalry into the battle later. When you lead the two armies to fight, surround the enemy's rear and wait for an opportunity to break into the enemy camp. Once you get in, don't worry about anything else. Just set fire to the camp." It was a bit far away, and Chen Mo couldn't tell how many people there were from such a distance, but there should be a lot of them.

"The general will take your orders!" Bao Geng agreed.

"Cui Geng, after the war begins, I will let Cheng Fang and you each lead an army to outflank the opponent from both wings, giving full play to the advantage of our army's strength. If the opponent also fully faces the enemy, I will lead the main force of the Chinese army to break through from the center. "If the other side doesn't divide their forces, then you and your troops will outflank them from both sides. Remember, don't try to outflank them. Let them have a way out and avoid fighting to the death." Chen Mo said to Cui Geng again.

"Don't worry, my lord!" Cui Geng nodded. He knew this common sense about the art of war.

As time went by, the sun gradually became hot, and Yang Ping's originally neat formation began to become a little chaotic, while Chen Mo kept counting the time. When it was about noon, Chen Mo looked at the sun and looked at Dian Wei. He smiled and said: "The time has come, sound the drums and send out the troops!"

"Here!" Dian Wei nodded, picked up the drumstick on the drum stand, and struck the war drum. Then, other drum beaters in the military camp quickly stood up and started beating the drum.

Amidst the rumbling war drums, all four doors of Chen Mo's camp opened, and groups of men and horses quickly walked out of the camp from the camp. People who are careful will find that the soldiers under Chen Mo are now moving much faster than they were in the past few days. Cui Geng and Cheng Each side led two thousand soldiers and horses scattered on the two wings. Chen Mo and Dian Wei led the central army out of the main gate and quickly formed an array in front of the camp.

Yang Ping and others had been waiting all morning and were already upset and agitated. Now that they saw Chen Mo sending troops, they couldn't help but be overjoyed and shouted sternly: "The three armies are preparing for war!"

Chen Mo's army did not specifically organize the army. After Chen Mo left the camp, he began to move slowly in this direction. On the way, groups of people began to quickly form formations according to the queues that had been arranged. It was chaotic at first sight, but as the two armies approached, Chen Mo The formation here is getting more and more orderly.

Xu Huang saw clearly in the army and secretly marveled in his heart. Three days ago, Chen Mo's army was not so well-trained. This was certainly due to the fact that Chen Mo was good at training troops, but more importantly, Chen Mo defeated him twice in a row. In these The mixed army gradually established its prestige, and the scene in front of them can also be seen as a manifestation of the unity of the military.

At this moment, Xu Huang suddenly wanted Yang Ping to withdraw his troops. Although it was only for three days, the troops under Chen Mo were already as good as his own. If he treated the other side as a mob at this moment, he was sure to suffer a loss.

What's more, the soldiers had been waiting for a long time. Many of them had been exhausted by the sun and wind. It would be absolutely detrimental to their own side to start a war at this time. The picture of defeat had already appeared in Xu Huang's mind.

However, the three armies had moved at this time, and he was no longer in charge of the army. After hesitating for a moment, Xu Huang still wanted to save the situation, and saluted Yang Ping: "General, Chen Mo used a trick to make our army stand here for half a day. Soldiers Our physical strength is already low. If we go to war now, we may be defeated. It is better to return to camp to repair and think about countermeasures!"

"Xu Huang!" Yang Ping's face darkened, and he looked at Xu Huang solemnly and said, "If you dare to disturb the morale of our army again, I will chop off your sacrificial flag first!"

Xu Huang sighed and said no more.

The two armies continued to approach. Yang Ping watched Chen Mo's two wings begin to approach him, and coldly snorted: "Make a circular formation, archers are ready!"

"Bows and arrows!" Chen Mo estimated that the distance between the two sides was almost the same. With a wave of his hand, the archers in the back row quickly rushed out of the formation, bows and arrows, and cold arrow clusters pointed at the sky.

"put!"

"put!"

Chen Mo and Yang Ping gave orders almost at the same time, and rows of arrows flew up from the ground, intertwining into a dense rain of arrows in the air. After a brief intersection, they fell fiercely from the air towards both camps with the scream of death.

"Bang bang bang bang~"

Amidst the dense muffled sound, many arrow clusters falling down penetrated the wooden shields, and casualties began to appear on both sides.

"Continue!" Chen Mo ignored his own casualties. Once the war started, casualties were inevitable. Chen Mo would not be soft-hearted because of this. Even if someone dared to retreat at this time, the cold blades of the supervising team would not hesitate. Cut off.

The arrow clusters met one after another, but by the third time, it was obvious that the opponent's range could no longer cover most of Chen Mo's army, but the archers on Chen Mo's side were still able to shoot arrow clusters towards the opponent's camp relatively easily.

The difference in physical strength began to appear, and what was even worse was that the opponent's archers were facing the sun at the moment. The dazzling light made it difficult for many people to calibrate. The damage to Yang Ping's army began to increase. On the other hand, Chen Mo's casualties continued to decrease. .

After four rounds of arrow rain, Chen Mo saw that it was difficult for the opponent's archers to reach here anymore, so he immediately ordered: "Encircle the two wings, and the Chinese army will attack!"

The sound of the drums suddenly became passionate, and at the same time, the flag officer standing on the well quickly waved the flag. Cheng Fang and Cui Geng on both wings quickly commanded the soldiers and horses on the two wings to start closing towards the center.

Yang Ping was a little panicked. He found that many soldiers were weakly kneeling on the ground. No matter how hard the generals beat and scolded them, they could not stand up. Before the battle started, some people on his side began to kneel. This was not a big deal. It was a good sign. Seeing Chen Mo's soldiers and horses coming from all directions, Yang Ping mustered up his courage and shouted sternly: "The thieves are nothing more than a rabble. Soldiers, follow me and kill!"

"kill!"

The killing cry of four thousand people gave people a sense of powerlessness. Chen Mo's Chinese army had already rushed forward. The two armies were fighting. A scene that was unacceptable to Yang Ping appeared. His own soldiers were defeated at the first opportunity. On the other hand, Chen Mo's men The soldiers were extremely brave.

How could this be? ?

Yang Ping couldn't understand, and he didn't have any extra time to think about it at the moment. The generals had already begun to flee, and the enemy troops encircling them from two wings also began to encircle them from both sides. Several generals pulled Yang Ping and said: "General, retreat quickly!"

Yang Ping gritted his teeth: "The enemy has already arrived, how can we retreat now?"

Xu Huang sat on the horse and used his big ax to create wind. The enemy soldiers he killed in his path turned over on their backs. He rushed to Yang Ping's side covered in blood and said in a deep voice: "General, retreat first. The last general will be willing to be a general." After the break!”

"Gongming, I..." Yang Ping looked at Xu Huang, feeling a little ashamed in his heart, but more of a feeling of relief, silently nodded and said: "Withdraw!"

Xu Huang looked at the direction Yang Ping was leaving, sighed, and began to direct the soldiers around him to gather towards him. At the same time, he raised Yang Ping's general flag and shouted sternly at the surrounding soldiers: "Soldiers, follow me. kill!"

With a sharp shout, he led his men and horses straight towards Chen Mo's army.
