The Nameless of the Common Clans

"Lord, look over there!" Although Ma Chao, Pang De, and Zhang Xiu tried their best to hold Cao Cao back, the five forts in front of Cao Cao were still breached. The three had no choice but to lead the cavalry to continue to mediate with Cao Cao, thinking that Chen Mo would have more time to adjust the troops. On Cao Cao's side, Cheng Yu suddenly looked into the distance. He and Cao Cao were standing on a low hill at this moment, so that they could command the army and have a general view of the overall situation and see farther.

Cao Cao turned his head and looked in the direction pointed by Cheng Yu, and saw dozens of troops gathering in front. Each of these dozens of troops was not too many. Judging from the scale, the most were only a thousand people, and the least were only a hundred or so. They were not very eye-catching at first, but now these troops quickly gathered together and formed a formation. The formation of tens of thousands of troops was soon formed.

The most important thing is that they are still gathering in an endless stream.

"This Guanzhong Army is indeed well-trained." Cao Cao couldn't help but praise it when he saw this scene. The assembly was completed so quickly. This scene alone was enough to show the effectiveness of Guanzhong Army's daily training.

Cheng Yu nodded. No matter how people in the world evaluate Chen Mo, it is almost universally recognized that the army in Guanzhong is elite.

"Pass my military order, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren, and Cao Hong will attack before he is fully assembled, and break this army first!" Cao Cao was not prepared to wait for Chen Mo to gather all his troops before fighting. This battlefield was not a place for etiquette.

As Cao Cao's order was issued, the flags in the army were waved, and the drums and trumpets sounded. After receiving the military order, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren, and Cao Hong quickly led their troops to fight. The three troops rushed towards the newly assembled troops in a triangular shape.

Xu Huang sat on the horse and watched this scene indifferently. Seeing the three troops attacking this side, he had no intention of retreating. His troops were themselves attracting Cao's army to attack.

He waved the flag and shouted: "Arrange the formation!"

Tens of thousands of troops quickly formed a circular formation, with shields forming a shield formation, spearmen lined up in front of the ground, spears protruding from the shields, and archers lined up in the center of the formation, ready to shoot arrows.

Xu Huang sat on horseback, looking at the direction where the enemy was coming from, and suddenly pointed the flag at Cao Ren's troops: "Sixty steps southeast, shoot!"

Rows of arrows soared into the air, and the buzzing sound of tearing the air echoed between heaven and earth. After passing the highest point, the arrows fell towards Cao Ren's troops.

"Raise the shield!" Cao Ren shouted loudly and raised the shield in his hand.

"Dongdongdongdong~"

The dense rain of arrows fell and was bounced off by the shields, and many fell through the gaps in the shields, causing casualties.

"Shoot!" On the other side, Xiahou Yuan and Cao Hong also ordered to shoot arrows. After avoiding the rain of arrows, Cao Ren saw that the other two sides began to suppress with rain of arrows, and quickly commanded the troops to rush up.

Continuous rain of arrows fell towards Xu Huang, and casualties also began to appear.

Cao Ren's troops rushed to the front, and the two armies met. Shieldmen rushed forward with shields, and many people were stabbed by spears.

Xu Huang watched this scene calmly, holding the shield in one hand, pointing in the direction of Cao Ren with the other hand and shouting: "Twenty steps to the southeast, shoot!"

This is already a very close distance. In the case of projectiles, the force is difficult to control. Most of the arrows of the Guanzhong army fell on Cao Ren's rear formation.

The fighting gradually became fierce. Cao Ren saw that the opponent's shield formation was solid, so he ordered people to bring hammers to hit the shield formation, hoping to knock out a gap.

"Flying axe!" A general in the crowd shouted, and more than a dozen shieldmen took off short axes from their waists and threw them out of the formation.

This is the special equipment of Xu Huang's shieldmen. In addition to shields, they are equipped with three short axes. In war, they can fight with the enemy in their hands, or they can be thrown directly as a means of long-range attack.

"Breaking hammer!" Cao Ren saw the hammer being broken by the flying axe, and immediately changed the formation, but saw the Cao army split up the formation, and two war horses were driven by knights and rushed towards the shield formation. The knights on the horses pulled the iron chain and pulled a huge mace in the middle.

When they were about to reach the army formation, the knight reined in the horse and stopped, but the huge mace, under the action of inertia, smashed the shield formation fiercely.

"Bang~"

With a loud bang, several shieldmen were knocked out by the mace, and the spearmen behind them fell down.

"Shoot!"

Before the two knights pushed away, a team of crossbowmen rushed out from behind the broken shield formation, and shot a crossbow arrow at the outside of the formation, and the two knights who had not yet left were shot into hedgehogs.

"Kill!" Cao Ren ignored these, and seeing that the shield formation was broken, the front row of shieldmen immediately rushed up with shields, trying to break Xu Huang's circle formation in one go.

After Xu Huang fired a round of arrows, the crossbowmen immediately retreated. Another row of crossbowmen rushed up from the back and shot arrows at the enemy. Cao's soldiers kept falling, and Cao's soldiers kept rushing up to block the gap.

Arrows from both sides kept shooting at each other's formation. At the same time, Xiahou Yuan and Cao Hong also led their troops to harass from the flanks, preventing Xu Huang from fighting Cao Ren with all his strength.

The three phalanxes quickly formed a siege on Xu Huang.

"Change formation!" Seeing that the front line was a little untenable, Xu Huang changed the formation in time, with the shield soldiers retreating and the spearmen in front. The spears gathered into a dense jungle of death. At the same time, the retreating shieldmen also strengthened the defense of the archers in the back, and the arrows became more dense. Xu Huang's eyes flashed with a ruthless look. He had to knock down a part of them first to reverse the situation.

But Cao's army was equally elite, and now they were fighting three times as many enemies. The one commanding the war was no less capable than Xu Huang. Even though Xu Huang was good at defense, he would gradually lose the strength under the siege of three parties.

"Who is this?" Cao Cao watched Xu Huang's formation change on the short hill. Although he looked faintly defeated, under the joint efforts of the three generals Cao Ren, Xia Houyuan, and Cao Hong, he was able to sustain it for so long. Cao Cao had to admire him. ability.

"Looking at the flag, it should be Chen Mo's general Xu Huang." Beside Cao Cao, Guo Jia carefully watched the changes in the formations and morale of both sides and replied.

"Bo Dao has many good generals under his command!" Cao Cao sighed, feeling envious of the many powerful generals around Chen Mo. He pointed at Xu Huang's army and said, "Destroy them immediately!"

From a farther direction, the sound of continuous drums and trumpets has been heard, and Chen Mo's other troops have obviously begun to assemble. With the speed at which Chen Mo's troops are gathering, I'm afraid there won't be much time for them to tangle with Xu Huang here.

Guo Jia nodded. The combat effectiveness of the Guanzhong Army was not surprising, but the opponent's resilience was astonishing. They were able to defeat a large number with a small number. Even now, they are still fighting to the death. I am afraid that few of Cao's troops can do this.

"Lord, look over there!" Next to Cao Cao, Xu Chuzhi saw a Guanzhong army appearing to the southwest. Instead of saving Xu Huang, they rushed directly towards the main force of Cao's army. Not only that, In the other two directions, the Guanzhong Army also appeared, attacking Cao's rear formation.

Cao Cao frowned upon seeing this, and immediately ordered generals Le Jin and Li Dian to lead their troops to meet them and block both sides. At the same time, the Chinese army also detached a group of troops to meet the enemy.

The three groups of men and horses quickly collided and fought with each other.

Once the number of people exceeds 10,000, there will be no boundaries. At this moment, the two sides have already invested 100,000 troops on the battlefield. Looking around, wherever you look, you can see crazy fighting gradually spreading out in the wilderness, with canines intersecting between each other, It's hard to tell each other apart.

The cavalry of Ma Chao, Pang De, and Zhang Xiu had also returned and kept running around the battlefield. Whenever they saw Cao's army in chaos, they immediately went up to fight for a while and wiped out their opponents.

The smell of blood filled the battlefield, and the formations of the soldiers on both sides began to become chaotic. The battle line continued to expand, and Cao's army had a numerical advantage and had some upper hand. The Guanzhong army was indeed extremely brave, and the fighting between the two sides became more and more fierce.

Another troop of soldiers joined the battle group, this time to support Xu Huang and directly attack Xia Houyuan's troops.

The battlefield continues to expand as more troops and horses are added to both sides. Standing on the short hill on Cao Cao's side, it is difficult to overlook the entire battlefield. Although the number of troops may not be as large as that of the battle between Chen Mo and Yuan Shao in Muye, However, the scope of the fighting between the two sides was not concentrated. Regardless of whether Cao Cao Both Cao Cao and Chen Mo intend to expand the battlefield to expose the other side's weaknesses. However, as the battlefield becomes larger, their own control over the battle situation will also weaken. At this time, not only the level of the commanders of both sides will be tested, but also the generals of both sides will be tested. The ability to adapt to the enemy on the battlefield.

"I don't know if it's good or bad!" Chen Mo stood on a high platform, holding a pergola with his hands, trying to look at the battlefield further away. At this distance, the edge of the battle situation has become less clear in his sight, and even It is impossible to see that at this distance, even if there is an explicit order, it may be difficult to deliver it in time. Therefore, when Chen Mo is commanding, he always puts Xu Huang and Gao Shun, who have extremely strong combat capabilities and command capabilities, on the edge. Department, while Chen Mo was responsible for commanding several other armies to fight against Cao Cong.

But now looking at such a large-scale battlefield, Chen Mo waved his command flag, and then filled it with the assembled troops and horses, forming an encirclement around Cao Cao's army. At this distance, Cao Cao should not be able to react for a while, so he would eat him first. One bite at a time.

"Notify Xu Huang that we can retreat!" Chen Mo looked at the formation here. In the distance, Xu Huang's side had been supporting for a long time. Chen Mo didn't want Xu Huang's troops to be disabled and could be temporarily replaced.

"Here!" The messenger quickly left and went to deliver the order.

"Lord!" When Chen Mo was presiding over the dispatch of troops and horses, he saw a general rushing towards him. It was the scout commander who was responsible for exploring the surrounding areas of the battlefield. He saluted Chen Mo and said, "General Taishi sent someone to send a message. , Yuan Shang led his army to leave Handan yesterday and sent troops south. "

"Yuan Shang?" Chen Mo frowned when he heard this. Yuan Shang called in Zhao to block Tai Shici, which was equivalent to completely opening up the door to Liaodong. It was also bold. However, at this time, Yuan Shang led his troops south to reach a tacit agreement with Cao Cao. , for Chen Mo, it is indeed a bit difficult to handle.

"Gongda, you take command!" Chen Mo handed the flag to Xun You beside him.

"Lord, where are you going?" Xun You took the command flag and looked at Chen Mo.

"Yuan Shang comes here. Only Jizhou surrenders his troops in the city. Let's see if we can scare him away. Yuan Shang has nothing to worry about, but if we lose Ye City at this time, it will be quite detrimental to our army!" Chen Mo got on his horse and said simply. After that, he took Dian Wei and ran towards Yecheng.
