The Nameless of the Common Clans

In just half a day, the left and right wings of the Jizhou Army had completely collapsed. Gao Shun and Xu Huang led the left and right wings to the rear of the Jizhou Army, where the Jizhou Army's flag was located, and where Yuan Shang, Gao Gan and other Jizhou high-ranking officials were located.

Chen Mo jumped onto the roof of the car and stared at the changes in the enemy's army formation, with a smile on his face gradually expanding.

"Pass on my military order, order the elite troops of the central army to go into battle and forcefully break through the enemy's central army!" Chen Mo shouted.

"Woo~Woo~Woo~"

The sound of the horn suddenly became excited, and in conjunction with the melody of the war drum, an elite who had been waiting in the rear stepped forward, and the soldiers in the front automatically separated to let this elite out.

Unlike the Xianzhen Camp, this elite force was not selected from the best and then trained. Instead, Chen Mo gathered the elite soldiers from various armies together for some coordinated training, and there were more of them. In large-scale battles, this elite force usually protected Chen Mo's carriage to prevent the enemy from attacking Chen Mo's central army. Only when the time for victory came, this elite force would be sent to the battlefield.

And now, it was the time for victory!

"Kill!"

As soon as this group of people appeared on the front line, they burst out with terrifying fighting power. They formed small formations in groups of three or five. One person rushed forward with a shield, and behind him were two soldiers holding ring-headed swords slashing to both sides. The three cooperated well, especially the leading shieldman. Although the shield in his hand was not a heavy shield, he used it very skillfully. He had no weapons, just a shield, but he could defend against most attacks from all directions. The two swordmen behind him were fierce. No matter whether they succeeded or not, they would withdraw their swords immediately. The shieldman would block back, and the other would slash from the other side.

Some of them would be followed by one or two spearmen, who were equally fierce.

As soon as this group of people joined the battlefield, the entire battlefield was like water dripping into boiling oil. The front-line soldiers of the Jizhou Army quickly began to collapse, and the entire Jizhou Army's central army also began to collapse.

Gao Lan and Han Meng did not expect that the Guanzhong Army had such a trick up their sleeve. Seeing that the front line was retreating step by step, the central army was about to collapse, and Gao Shun and Xu Huang in the rear had already broken through to the central army's flag, Gao Lan gritted his teeth and looked at Han Meng and said, "You go and escort the lord to break through!"

"What about you!?" Han Meng grabbed Gao Lan and shouted.

"I'll stop them for the lord!" Gao Lan gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, "Don't hesitate at this time, go!"

"Yes!" Han Meng's eyes widened, he roared, turned around and led his men to Yuan Shang.

The defeat was determined!

Everyone could see this, but when Han Meng was about to protect Yuan Shang, there was no sign of Yuan Shang in the rear of the central army.

"Where is the lord!?" When Han Meng led his troops back, he frowned at the empty carriage frame.

"He left with Mr. Feng Ji." A general pointed to the distance, where a group of people had crossed the river to escape, and it seemed that they had left for some time.

For a moment, Han Meng didn't know whether to be happy or disappointed.

The three armies were fighting in the front, and Yuan Shang, the commander, turned around and fled when he saw the situation was not good?

"Retreat, protect the lord!" Although he felt bad, Han Meng knew that it was the right choice for Yuan Shang to leave.

"Mr. Ju Su and Mr. Tian Feng are still in command." A general frowned.

"Send someone to inform them to retreat, it is important to protect the lord!" Han Meng had already seen Gao Shun crossing the river, and he must not let the other side catch up with the lord.

"Yes!"

The general agreed and followed Han Meng to cross the river.

"My lord, Yuan Shang has crossed the river and fled, and General Gao Shun has sent people to pursue him!" On the other side, Chen Mo's scouts flew over to report the battle situation in front.

"Run away?" Chen Mo looked at the direction of the rear formation after hearing this, and it was indeed in chaos.

"Inform Gao Shun, don't chase Yuan Shang, break the river for me, gather forces to swallow up this Jizhou army!"

"Yes!"

At this point, all the elites that Yuan Shang can mobilize are here. As long as this elite is swallowed, what can Yuan Shang do even if he escapes?

Even if he finds a place to stay again, this Jizhou army with rich combat experience cannot be trained in a short time. Without this elite, what can Yuan Shang use to stop him?

Cao Cao has gone, but he will definitely not be willing to hand over Jizhou. Chen Mo must take Jizhou in the shortest time and cannot give Cao Cao a chance to make a comeback.

Gao Lan is indeed capable. He desperately formed a formation to block Chen Mo's elite soldiers. The war lasted until dusk. Although the Jizhou army was still resisting, the river behind them had been opened by Gao Shun's men. The troops on the left and right wings had already been broken. Xu Huang and Gao Shun cooperated with the central army to encircle them on both sides, and the river water was opened in the back.

Chen Mo sent people to shout on both sides that Yuan Shang had fled and those who surrendered would not be killed!

With the shouting of generals at all levels, the morale of the Jizhou army, which found that their commander had disappeared, instantly fell to the bottom. The commander fled and was in a desperate situation. More and more people threw down their weapons and began to surrender.

"Get up, are you still men?!" Gao Lan watched this scene and roared and killed three surrendered soldiers in a row, but there was no way, the situation was over. Just as Gao Lan was about to continue killing, a big axe rushed out from the side and blocked his sword.

Gao Lan turned around and met Xu Huang's condescending gaze.

"The situation is over, why should the general be loyal to that cowardly man?" Xu Huang put away the big axe and did not take the opportunity to attack.

Gao Lan looked around and saw that there were fewer and fewer Jizhou soldiers still standing.

Gao Lan took a deep breath, got on his horse, lifted his spear from the horse's back, and pointed it at Xu Huang.

Xu Huang's face darkened, and he held the ax across his chest, his eyes becoming colder.

"General, wait!" Chen Mo walked out of the army under the protection of Dian Wei. The surrounding Jizhou soldiers were automatically pulled away to prevent anyone from trying to assassinate Chen Mo at this time.

"Chen Mo?" Gao Lan looked at Chen Mo coldly.

"How dare you, my lord's name is taboo, how can you scream randomly?" Dian Wei glared and yelled angrily.

"Xiaqiu Shilang, you are so lowly, why can't I scream?" Gao Lan sneered.

"It's true that I was a dungeon when I was young, but to say I'm humble is a bit too much. The dungeon you call me is now supporting hundreds of thousands of people in Guanzhong. This is a great merit." Chen Mo didn't take it seriously: " Names are meant to be called, and it doesn't hurt to call him by the general."

Gao Lan snorted coldly and tightened the spear in his hand. At that moment, an impulse arose in his heart. If he could capture Chen Mo at this time, there might be a chance.

Chen Mo seemed to see Gao Lan's thoughts, smiled and shook his head: "General, it's best not to have too many bad thoughts. Since the situation is over, why should General Gao do this?"

"I know that the general is a loyal minister and can do anything for Yuan's family." Chen Mo pointed to the soldiers still standing behind Gao Lan and said, "But what about these people?"

Gao Lan turned his head and looked at the faces covered with dust and blood, and his heart trembled.

"I don't believe that these soldiers are all loyal to the Yuan family. It is impossible for the ordinary soldiers under my command to be as loyal to me as the general is loyal to the Yuan family. They are still standing now because they believe in the general." Chen Mo sighed: " Most of these people are the mainstay of their families, with parents caring for their children. I have wives and children who are looking forward to the return of their husband or father. I believe that as long as the general is determined to die loyal to the Yuan family, these loyal and brave men will definitely die with the general. But who can take care of their parents, wives and children at home? Will Yuan Shang do it? I think most likely not, he is too busy to take care of himself right now.”

Gao Lan's throat quivered, and he looked at the soldiers behind him, then gave some away with the hand holding the gun.

"I have always admired people who are loyal and righteous, and I also admire the general's loyalty. However, with the general's death today, my own loyalty has been compromised. I also believe that if I send the general's wife and children back, Yuan Shang will also be determined to do so. He will treat them kindly, but what about these soldiers, their wives, children, and children? The general's family still has some wealth, but without them, maybe..." Chen Mo didn't continue, and he noticed that some of the soldiers behind Gao Lan had begun to kneel down.

"Yuan Shang has escaped, and I have not been pursued. In fact, the general has been loyal, but he has not died." Chen Mo looked at Gao Lan and said with a smile: "The general has already been loyal, so why die? Loyalty does not need to die to show it. This is General Shi should also think about himself and the soldiers behind him. The old father, the elderly mother, and the delicate wife may fall into the arms of others. Not only do their children have to recognize other people as their fathers, they may also be beaten and suffer. humiliation……"

"General, we have been loyal. Mr. Yuan escaped from the battle and gave up on us. Why should we sacrifice our lives for Mr. Yuan!?" A soldier suddenly looked at Gao Lan and shouted.

"Yes, general, why should we fight to the death to kill the enemy? Now that our lord has abandoned us, why should we die?"

Chen Mo said nothing, just watched the scene with a smile, waiting for Gao Lan's decision.

Gao Lan hesitated. Chen Mo's first words made him loosen his determination to die for loyalty. What he said later made him feel attached to his family. Now, the words of the veterans who followed him made it difficult for Gao Lan to insist on his loyalty. Beliefs and people are still group creatures after all. This is true for ordinary soldiers, as well as for gentry and wealthy families.

"Pfft~" Gao Lan thrust his spear into the ground, turned over and dismounted, looked at Chen Mo and said, "If the general is willing to surrender, can Marquis Changling treat these soldiers kindly?"

"There are many Jizhou soldiers in our army. General, have you ever seen me treat them harshly?" Chen Mo smiled.

Gao Lan took a deep breath, knelt on one knee, saluted Chen Mo and said, "The last general, Gao Lan... is willing to surrender!"

After saying the last two words, Gao Lan felt that all his strength was gone. He closed his eyes, lowered his head and stopped looking at anyone.

"I'm really lucky to have the help of the general. Please get up quickly!" After Chen Mo received Gao Lan's salute, he stretched out his hand to help Gao Lan and said with a smile: "It's been a hard day's battle. General, let's go back to the city to rest first. Gradually family."

"The last general's family..."

"Everyone is here, I am not a bloodthirsty person. The massacre in the inner city that day was caused by the gentry in the city gathering soldiers and horses to resist. Those who did not take action were all safe and sound." Chen Mo said with a smile.

"Thank you, Lord!" Gao Lan was overjoyed and saluted Chen Mo again.

"Retract the troops!" Chen Mo held Gao Lan with one hand and shouted to the generals, "This battle will be a great victory!"
