Outside the Zhengrong Valley camp, Cao Hongzheng led his troops to call for formation outside the camp, but saw the camp gate on the opposite side was wide open. Zhang He led 5,000 elite troops out of the camp and lined up outside the camp, facing Cao's army from a distance.

"Who was I at that time? I turned out to be the defeated general!" Cao Hong couldn't help laughing when he saw Zhang He's flag. He immediately rode out of the formation, came to the front of the two armies, and shouted in the direction of Zhang He: "I have heard for a long time that Chen Mo is fighting in the south and in the north. For many years, I have had many powerful generals under my command, and now I have sent not only a surrendered general, but also a defeated general. Could it be that Chen Mo has no one under his command, so he asked you to fight? "

Zhang He compared the distance between the two sides. At this distance, even if thousands of arrows were fired at once, Cao Hong could not be hurt. He immediately rode out into battle and said loudly: "It is because I am the defeated general that your lord asked me to come. Cao Cao had been there before." He was defeated by Guandu, and then by Suiyang, and fled all the way to Qingzhou, panicking like a lost dog. Now he finally dares to fight with our army. If a general is sent out, my lord is afraid that you will not even dare to fight, and will just run away in a hurry! "

Cao Hong smiled and said: "Zhang Junyi, you are not good at fighting, but you have developed a good tongue. You don't always beg for mercy, right?"

"Whether you can do it or not, it depends on who you compare with. Our Lord has always known how to know people, so he sent me to fight you. Cao Zilian, why do you do this, don't you know in your heart?" Zhang He said with a loud laugh.

"I..." It's hard to say who is stronger or weaker than the others, Zhang He or Cao Hong, but when it comes to Qi-nurturing skills, Zhang He is the more humble and unassuming type, both under Yuan Shao and Chen Mo. I can't bear it, but who is Cao Hong? He is Cao Cao's brother, although he is not said to be arrogant and domineering. , but usually the generals under Cao Cao would let him go more or less, so in terms of endurance, Cao Hong was naturally inferior to Zhang He. Being pushed back by Zhang He's words, he felt angry and pointed the spear in his hand at Zhang He and said: " Zhang Junyi, stop using your words and dare to fight with me!"

"When I came out, I taught you how to be a good person. Don't think that you are invincible just because you won by luck. Today I want to teach you that there is a heaven outside the world!" Zhang He responded immediately.

"Okay, okay!" Cao Hong said three good words in a row, turned his horse's head and said: "I won't compete with you for the power of words, you and I will compete on the battlefield!"

"Exactly what I want!" Zhang He snorted coldly, turned his horse back to the army, looked at the generals and said: "For the defeat of Jiwu Mountain, my lord was generous and did not hold us accountable. However, as generals, what? You can throw it away, but again Throw it away, I don’t have the face to wear this armor. I have issued a military order to the lord. If we cannot win today, Zhang He will die here. If Zhang dies on the battlefield, please don’t touch my body. , keep killing!"

His voice was very plain, but in this plainness, there was a power that made people couldn't help but feel excited. The generals said loudly: "I am willing to follow the general and die together!"

"Fight!" Cao's army on the opposite side has already moved. Zhang He raised his flag and waved it. He personally carried the big gun at the front, but he was preparing to go into battle himself.

Without any unnecessary nonsense, the armies of both sides approached quickly like two torrents.

On the walled city, Chen Mo took the drumstick from Dian Wei, glanced at the army outside the camp, and knocked the drumstick hard.

"Dong~dong~dongdong~"

The sound of drums echoed on the battlefield with a high-spirited rhythm. The men and horses on both sides began to contact, and the arrow rain from behind also stopped shooting. Zhang He rushed to the front, leading the most elite soldiers, like a sharp sword, to break in fiercely. In the enemy formation, a gun flower lit up, and there was no enemy wherever it passed.

The soldiers behind him were also inspired by the general's bravery and began to attack crazily. The two torrents collided fiercely, and endless blood flowed on the battlefield. One side had high morale and intended to completely destroy the enemy's morale, while the other side was eager to Blood The defeated army was trying to wash away their humiliation. These two troops were fighting in one place. They all had reasons to win. Zhang He was fierce and Cao Hong would not give in. The two troops started fighting outside the camp in the majestic valley, killing each other directly. The sky was dark and the earth was dark, and blood flowed into rivers.

They are almost the same! ?

The spectators would be a little surprised to see the two men fighting fiercely together. Zhang He was fierce and brave, but Cao Hong was equally fierce. For a moment, no one could do anything to the other.

Zhang He charged back and forth twice, but failed to defeat the enemy. Knowing that Cao's army was tenacious, he immediately changed his style of play. Although he was still fighting on the front line, he no longer used his own bravery to boost morale, but began to mobilize all parties. The war has reached a stalemate. At this time, in addition to fighting spirit and combat power, the battle is more about whose endurance is stronger. Whoever can persist to the end will be the winner.

Therefore, after Zhang He saw that he could not capture Cao Hong in his eagerness, he changed his style of play and began to pay attention to the reasonableness of the formation. He promptly sent soldiers from the rear to replace those fighting in the front. Although the battlefield was chaotic, under Zhang He's command, the Guanzhong Army was still able to Maintain a certain order.

On the other side, Cao Hong obviously also understood this truth. After several failed attempts to break the formation, he also chose the same method to consume the enemy's effective strength.

"Lord, the war is going on, why don't you take a break first?" The battle has been going on for an hour, and Chen Mo's body has begun to be covered with sweat. Several generals on the side couldn't help but persuade him when they saw this.

"Since I promised Jun Yi to beat the drum for him, how can I break my promise to the soldiers of the three armies now that the war is not over yet!?" Chen Mo shook his head and continued to beat the drum to encourage him, even though his arms had begun to swell.

"Tsk~" Dian Wei looked at the stalemate in the battle outside the camp and was a little anxious. He wished he could go into battle to kill the enemy himself and help Zhang He break through the enemy's formation.

This melee continued for another hour, and the soldiers on the battlefield began to lose their physical strength. It was obvious that the battle was not as fierce as before. However, if you observe carefully, it is not difficult to find that the Guanzhong Army still has some strength left, while Cao Jun is not. Zhang He was beginning to lose his ability to follow up. Zhang He was obviously not just reckless. After failing to defeat the enemy quickly from the beginning, he paid attention to maintaining his strength. Although Cao Hong also had this awareness, it was obvious that Cao Hong was not as good as Zhang He in this aspect.

Moreover, as the casualties of the soldiers on both sides gradually became serious, morale also began to decline. Cao Jun's side declined faster, and the outcome was about to be decided!

When Chen Mo saw this, his eyes lit up, and he started playing the drums with all his strength. The drumbeats suddenly became dense and exciting.

As if to cater to Chen Mo's drumbeat, Zhang He saw the right opportunity on the battlefield and suddenly ordered the remaining soldiers in the rear to launch a fierce attack, catching Cao Jun off guard, and Cao Jun's morale finally collapsed at this moment.

"Soldiers, follow me and kill!" Zhang He was overjoyed when he saw this. He raised his spear and roared, and personally led his guards into the enemy's formation. This move became the straw that broke the camel's back, and Cao's army began to collapse across the board.

Cao Hong was defeated like a mountain. Seeing this, although Cao Hong was angry that he had lost to a defeated general, he also knew that the situation was over. After scolding fiercely, he began to retreat with the defeated army. Zhang He chased for ten miles and killed Cao's army with corpses everywhere. , venting all the anger that had accumulated in his chest during this period, seeing that Cao's army was scattered, and that if he pursued again, he might encounter the main force of Cao's army, he withdrew his troops and returned to the camp.

When the drum beat stopped, Chen Mo threw away the drumstick in his hand, shook his shoulders and laughed loudly: "Have fun!"

"My lord, I am lucky enough to live up to my command!" Zhang He returned to the camp, looked at Chen Mo's sweaty hair, took a deep breath, knelt down on one knee, and handed over orders to Chen Mo.

"Jun Yi, please get up. I'm lucky to have Jun Yi help me!" Chen Mo stretched out his hand to help Zhang He up. Although he was a little weak, he felt happy in his heart.

The victory of the five thousand men could not determine the outcome of this battle, but it allowed the Guanzhong Army to regain their confidence after the defeat at Jiwu Mountain and wiped away their previous despondency. Zhang He won this battle very well!

At the moment, Chen Mo took Zhang He back to the camp to celebrate.

After all the Taoist generals returned to their camps, Xun You looked at Chen Mo with a smile and said, "My lord, you have no plans left, I admire you."

"What kind of plan is this? If you change the army, try another general." Chen Mo shook his head. Not many defeated armies can regain their confidence in a short period of time. Many famous generals have been unable to recover after experiencing defeat. , From then on, he was mediocre and inactive, and was ignored by everyone.

"Although Zhang He doesn't seem to be outstanding, he is not arrogant when he wins and is not discouraged when he loses. He has a tenacity that ordinary people don't have. If others encounter such a big defeat, their confidence will be frustrated, but not Zhang He! "Chen Mo said with emotion: "Although this person doesn't seem to be outstanding now, he will be the leader of the army in the future."

Of course, whether Zhang He is not outstanding depends on who he is compared with. Compared with generals with distinctive personalities such as Lu Bu, Taishi Ci, Xu Rong, Xu Huang, Ma Chao, and Pang De, Zhang He is not bad in any aspect, but he is not the best in any aspect. The kind that is excellent, but has no shortcomings. Compared with ordinary generals, Zhang He is not ordinary at all.

"So my lord knew that General Zhang would win before the battle, so why did he provoke him like that?" Xun You said with a smile.

"There is no sure-win battle in this world. On the battlefield, things are changing rapidly. Until the end, no one can say which battle is certain to win. If not for Xia Houyuan's surprise attack before, I would never have thought that the Jiwu Mountain defense line would be so vulnerable. The attack even became the key to our army's defeat." Chen Mo shook his head: "It's just that compared to others, Zhang He has a reason to win. Once this man has no way out, he may not even know what he is doing. How strong!”

"This is also the master's good use of people's hearts." Xun You praised Chen Mo neither lightly nor seriously, and this was not flattering. The only person in the world who could compare with Chen Mo's grasp of people's hearts was Cao Cao.

"Maybe." Chen Mo didn't say much about this kind of thing. It was the fact. There was no need to keep emphasizing it. Just smile. However, he was in a good mood. He looked at Xun You and said, "Although this battle cannot determine the outcome, it can also be eliminated. After the despondency of the Battle of Jiwu Mountain, the real battle will come next. I guess Brother Meng De will send people to intercept the reinforcements from the direction of Yangdu, and send an order to Xu Huang, telling him not to rush to the rescue, and will attack the enemies who are blocking the way. Defeated, even if they cannot be defeated, they cannot be allowed to support Cao Cao."

"Here!"
