Chapter 24: After the Break

The next day, it was already three poles in the sun, after the morning meal, Yang Ping quickly transferred the soldiers and horses out of the barracks, 5,000 soldiers and horses, some were lost before, Yang Ping left 500 people to guard the camp, and brought 4,000 soldiers and horses out of the camp to prepare for a decisive battle with Chen Mo.

"General, there are too few soldiers and horses in the garrison!" Xu Huang frowned and looked at Yang Pingdao, such a desperate bet, it's okay to say if you win, but if you lose, there is no way out, and the three-sided encirclement strategy that Xu Huang set before will be collapsed.

"Komeito is teaching me to fight?" Yang Ping sat on the horse's back and glanced at Xu Huang with a faint disdain and condescending questioning.

"Don't dare, it's just that if this battle is lost, I'm afraid our army will have no way to retreat!" Xu Huang frowned.

"Heh~" Yang Ping shook his head and said: "No wonder Gongming has been defeated by that Chen Mo several times, and he has to fight in one go, like King Xiang in the past, Han Xin's battle against the water, our army is already small, if you are as timid as you, how can you win the battle?" ”

Xu Huang's brows furrowed even tighter when he heard this, what makes you think you can be compared to Xiang Yu and Han Xin? And this kind of battle, people don't rush forward without the slightest plan, right?

I still want to persuade him again, but how could Yang Ping pay attention to him again, and sneered: "Isn't it that Gongming has lost two games in a row, worried that General Ben will win that Chen Mo?" ”

Xu Huang's heart was blocked, he retreated silently, and stopped talking, after all, he was an outsider after all, this foundation was his family's support, Yang Ping didn't listen to good words, what does it have to do with him Xu Huang?

Although this is the case, that faint sense of powerlessness makes Xu Huang a little uncomfortable, Chen Mo's strategy he has seen through, but Chen Mo is not calculating him, but Yang Ping and Yang Feng, knowing the other party's intentions but powerless, it is really uncomfortable.

"Go to Chen Mo's camp and ask, it's already past breakfast, why haven't you come to fight?" Yang Ping waited for a long time in front of the two armies, and there was a little numbness between the two forces, but the battalion on the opposite side was not prepared for battle, and he was a little impatient, and waved his hand to order a soldier to go to Chen Mo's camp to shout, what does Chen Mo mean by this?

The soldier commanded, rushed away, and soon came back, saluting Yang Ping: "General, the general in the Hedong military camp said that they only said that it was after the morning meal, but did not say when it would be after the morning meal, and the camp was reorganizing the army, and I hope the general will wait for a while." ”

"What does that mean?" Yang Ping said a little angrily: "Trick me? ”

Xu Huang sighed and said, "Chen Mo did only say that after the morning meal, but he didn't say the specific time, and the other party didn't count it as a breach of contract. ”

"What then, is it possible that I have to wait here all the time?" Yang Ping said dissatisfied.

Xu Huang didn't say anything more, and it seems that unless Yang Ping breaks his promise, it can really only be like this.

Retreating rashly, the momentum that Yang Ping wanted was gone, Yang Ping also knew this truth, even if he knew that Chen Mo was playing him, he could only continue to wait.

On the other side, Chen Mo's camp, standing on the arrow tower and looking at the army in the distance, Chen Mo broke the corn cake in his hand and kept throwing it into his mouth, looking at the direction of the sun from time to time, now it is almost early summer, although the sun is not too violent, but it will still be uncomfortable after a long time.

"My lord, is it really noon?" Cui Geng and Bao Geng came to Chen Mo's side and said, "The soldiers have finished their breakfast and can go out at any time." ”

"Let the soldiers consume their food first, and then leave the camp when it's almost over, Bao Geng." Chen Mo nodded and said.

"The last general!" Bao Geng hurriedly stepped forward and said.

"You see, the enemy has a lot of soldiers and horses, and there should not be many defenders in the camp, so you don't have to lead the cavalry to participate in the battle later, when you lead the two armies to fight, go around the enemy's rear, wait for the opportunity to break into the enemy camp, and don't care about anything else after you kill it, just set fire to the camp." It was a little far away, and Chen Mo couldn't see how many people there were on the other side from such a distance, but there should be a lot.

"The last general commands!" Bao Geng agreed.

"Cui Geng, after a wave of war, I will let Cheng Fang and you each lead an army, outflank each other from the two wings, and give full play to the strength advantage of our army, if the other party is also fully facing the enemy, then I will lead the main force of the Chinese army to break through from the middle, if the other party does not divide the troops, then you two will lead the men and horses to outflank from the two wings, remember, don't outflank them, let them have a way out, and they will not have the heart to fight to the death." Chen Mo said to Cui Geng again.

"Don't worry, lord!" Cui Geng nodded, he understood the common sense of the art of war.

As time passed, the sunlight gradually became scorching, and the originally neat formation on Yang Ping's side began to become a little chaotic, and Chen Mo's side kept counting the time, and it was about to be noon, Chen Mo looked at the sunshine and smiled at Dian Wei: "The hour has come, sound the drums, send troops!" ”

"Whoa!" Dian Wei nodded, picked up the drumsticks on the drum stand, and struck at the war drums, followed by the other drummers in the barracks quickly got up and began to beat the drums.

In the rumbling war drums, Chen Mo's camp opened all four gates, and a team of men and horses quickly walked out of the camp from the Yuanmen, and careful people will find that now these soldiers under Chen Mo are moving, which is much faster than a few days ago, Cui Geng and Cheng Fang each led two thousand soldiers and horses scattered on both wings, and Chen Mo took Dian Wei to lead the Chinese army out of the main gate and quickly lined up in front of the camp.

Yang Ping and the others waited for a morning, they were already upset and irritable, and now when they saw Chen Mo sending troops, they couldn't help but be overjoyed, and shouted: "Three armed forces for war!" ”

Chen Mo's army did not specifically reorganize the army, after Chen Mo came out of the camp, he began to move slowly towards this side, on the way, a group of people began to quickly form a formation according to the queue that had been arranged, at first glance chaotic, but as the two armies approached, Chen Mo's position was becoming more and more neat.

Xu Huang saw it clearly in the army, and secretly exclaimed in his heart, three days ago, the army under Chen Mo was not so well-trained, which certainly had the effect of Chen Mo being good at training, but more importantly, Chen Mo defeated himself twice in a row, and established his prestige step by step in these miscellaneous armies, and the scene in front of him can also be seen as a manifestation of the cohesion of the army.

At this moment, Xu Huang suddenly asked Yang Ping to withdraw his troops, although it was only three days, but these troops under Chen Mo were no worse than his own, and at this moment, he would definitely suffer a loss if he treated the other party as a rabble.

What's more, the soldiers waited for a long time, the sun and the wind blew, and many people's physical strength had been consumed by most of them.

It's just that at this time, the three armies have moved, and the army is no longer in charge of him, after hesitating for a moment, Xu Huang still wants to save it, and salutes Yang Ping: "General, Chen Mo used a plan to make our army stand here for a long time, and the soldiers are already lacking in physical strength. ”

"Xu Huang!" Yang Ping's face turned dark, and Sen Ran looked at Xu Huang and said, "If you dare to disturb my army's heart again, I will behead your sacrificial flag first!" ”

Xu Huang sighed and didn't say anything more.

The two armies continued to approach, Yang Ping watched Chen Mo's two wings begin to approach him, and snorted coldly: "Column a round formation, archers prepare!" ”

"Bow and arrow!" Chen Mo estimated that the distance between the two sides was almost there, and with a wave of his hand, the archers in the back row quickly rushed out of the formation, stretching their bows and arrows, and the cold arrows pointed diagonally at the sky.

"Put!"

"Put!"

Chen Mo and Yang Ping ordered almost at the same time, and rows of arrows swept up from the ground, intertwining into a dense rain of arrows in the air, and after a brief convergence, they fell fiercely from the air towards the two camps with a scream of death.

"Bang Bang~"

In the dense muffled sound, many of the falling arrows pierced the wooden shield, and casualties began to appear on both sides.

"Go on!" Chen Mo ignored his own casualties, once the war began, casualties were inevitable, Chen Mo would not be the slightest soft-hearted because of this, and even if someone dared to retreat at this time, the cold blade of the Warlord would not hesitate to cut it down.

The arrow clusters converged one after another, but by the third time, it was obvious that most of the opponent's range could not cover Chen Mo's army, while the archers on Chen Mo's side were still able to shoot the arrow clusters at the opponent's camp with relative ease.

The difference in physical strength began to appear, and what was even worse was that the archers on the other side were facing the sun at the moment, and the dazzling light made it difficult for many people to calibrate, and the damage of Yang Ping's army began to worsen, on the other hand, on Chen Mo's side, the casualties were constantly decreasing.

After four rounds of arrow rain, Chen Mo saw that the range of the opponent's archers was already difficult to shoot here, and immediately shouted: "The two wings are encircled, and the Chinese army will attack!" ”

The drumming suddenly became excited, and at the same time, the flag officer standing on the well also quickly played the flag, and Cheng Fang and Cui Geng on both wings quickly commanded the soldiers and horses on both wings to begin to close towards the middle.

Yang Ping was a little panicked, he found that many soldiers knelt on the ground a little weakly, and it was difficult for the generals to stand up no matter how they beat and scolded, before the battle was fought, some people on their side began to kneel, this is not a good sign, seeing Chen Mo's soldiers and horses killing from all directions, Yang Ping mustered up the courage and shouted: "The thief army is just a rabble, all the soldiers, kill with me!" ”

"Kill!"

The killing sound shouted by 4,000 people gave people a sense of powerlessness, Chen Mo's Chinese army had rushed to the front, and the two armies were fighting, which made Yang Ping an unacceptable scene.

How so!?

Yang Ping couldn't figure it out, and he didn't have time to think about it at this moment, the generals and soldiers in the army had begun to break and flee, and the enemy troops surrounded by the two wings had also begun to copy from the two sides, and several generals pulled Yang Ping and said: "General, quickly retreat!" ”

Yang Ping gritted his teeth: "The enemy army has already been killed, how can we withdraw at this moment!" ”

Xu Huang sat on the back of the horse, a big axe and a tiger, the enemy soldiers killed everywhere turned on their backs, killed Yang Ping with blood, and said in a deep voice: "The general will withdraw first, and the last general is willing to break off for the general!" ”

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

Xu Huang looked at the direction of Yang Ping's departure, sighed, and began to command the soldiers around him to assemble on his side, and at the same time erected Yang Ping's general flag, and shouted at the surrounding soldiers: "Soldiers, kill with me!" ”

With a loud shout, he actually came with men and horses to take Chen Mo's army directly.
