"Lord, a hundred dock forts have been built, do you want to continue to build more dock forts?" A month later, in Zhengrong Valley, Chen Mo had regrouped his troops, and Ma Jun came to Chen Mo's side and asked.

"No need, just make more crossbow arrows that the army needs, and some needed combat preparations." Chen Mo shook his head and smiled.

"Whoa!" Ma Jun agreed, bowed and retreated.

"Lord, why is that?" A strategist looked at Chen Mo curiously, building more dock forts can indeed effectively resist the Cao army, if it weren't for Xiahou Yuan's surprise attack this time, the defense line around Keiwu Mountain would not have collapsed so quickly.

"Just have these 100 dock forts as the necessary guards, it's useless to have more." Chen Mo looked at the crowd: "This loss of Keiwu Mountain, although Xiahou Yuan is a surprise attack, but under normal circumstances, how can the soldiers of the battalion not be defeated so miserably, it is that there are many dock forts in front, no one believes that the enemy army will kill without any warning, so when Xiahou Yuan leads the army to attack the camp, there will be no preparation, until there is such a defeat, this kind of defeat, it is enough to eat once, and then eat it is not how powerful Cao Jun is, but we are too stupid!" ”

With the elite of the Guanzhong army, how could they be so easily attacked by the other party? In the final analysis, it is because of the psychological dependence on the countless dock forts in front of you that they will panic when the enemy suddenly appears in front of them, and even be defeated.

The number of strange soldiers who crossed the Miya Mountain to fight, and the combat effectiveness of the army could not be too high, but such a tired army would kill the well-trained Guanzhong soldiers in a big rout, which is already very revealing, this seemingly impregnable defense line has also become the key to the defeat of this battle, but whenever something unexpected happens, it will make the army vulnerable.

The reason is clear, and everyone understands the key to the defeat of this battle, and the defense line that was relied on as a barrier has become the key to defeat, I have to say, this is quite ironic.

"In addition......" Xun You sighed on the side: "Now there are not too many dangers to defend in this Zhengrong Valley, Mutai, and Yangdu, and no matter how many dock forts there are, it is difficult to completely block the enemy army, so it is better to save these strengths and rely too much on the dock forts, but it will give Cao Jun various opportunities to break through." ”

"Lord~" Just when everyone was discussing the next battle, they saw a general outside the tent striding in, pushing the gold mountain and kneeling on the ground like a jade pillar, crying: "The last general is incompetent, resulting in the rout of the whole line of Keiwu Mountain, please surrender the lord!" ”

The person who came was Zhang He.

In order to make up for the defeat of Keiwu Mountain, during this time, he cooperated with Ma Chao and others to intercept Cao Cao in general, and also bought time for Chen Mo to deploy calmly, so that he would not be defeated, so that Cao Cao would go deep into the East China Sea, Pengcheng and other places.

"Get up." Chen Mo got up, came to Zhang He's side, pulled Zhang He up and shook his head and said: "This defeat of Keiwu Mountain is a problem of our deployment, people's hearts are like this, in the case of knowing that there is no danger at all, it is easy to relax their vigilance, who will defend it, in the face of Xiahou Yuan's surprise attack will be this result, or even worse, the defeat of this battle is not your crime, if you must find the culprit, we and others who discuss the deployment of this dock fort defense line are the culprits, besides, we have been fighting bravely this month to buy enough time for the main force of our army to reassemble, There is no fault but merit! ”

Zhang He can't be blamed, this is not the time to ask for guilt, if he really asks Zhang He's guilt, then the other guards will probably worry about accountability afterwards, and if this matter is to be held accountable, Zhang He will certainly not escape, but it is Chen Mo and others who formulated this strategy, and now they are focusing on facing Cao Cao, Chen Mo naturally cannot punish Zhang He, and no one is allowed to attack Zhang He on the grounds of this matter.

"Lord ......" Zhang Hehu choked tears and bowed his head deeply, last time, Chen Mo calmed his heart with high-ranking officials and made him determined to defend Langya for Chen Mo, this time, the defense line of Jiwu Mountain collapsed, and Langya was almost completely lost so that Cao Cao's army could enter Xuzhou, but Chen Mo erased the guilt so lightly, so that Zhang He had the heart to serve death.

"Let's go down and rest, the next big battle still needs to be presided over by Jun Yi!" Chen Mo patted Zhang He's back and smiled warmly.

"The last general commands!" Zhang He didn't say much, just bowed heavily and bowed back.

"Send more scouts to investigate the surrounding enemy situation, the incident of Keiya Mountain, I don't want it to happen again!" After Chen Mo sent Zhang He away, he looked at the generals.

"The last general commands!" The generals said yes and left.

On the other side, Zhang He and Ma Chao and others retreated, Cao Cao moved the camp to Ju County, and the victory of Keiwu Mountain made Chen Mo lose his geographical advantage.

In terms of troops, Cao Cao has the advantage, the two sides are equal in terms of generals, Chen Mo's side is like a cloud, but the generals under Cao Cao are not much inferior to Chen Mo, as for the ability of the two, Chen Mo is good at fighting, but Cao Cao is also killed in the southern and northern wars, a victory or defeat does not show the level of the two in terms of commandery, the war is here, it depends on whether Chen Mo can block Cao Cao.

"If you can break through the defense line of this Keiwu Mountain this time, you should be the first to do it!" Cao Cao was obviously in a good mood, after gathering the generals, he praised Xiahou Yuan's merits, Cao Cao was able to win the first hand in this battle, Xiahou Yuan fought over the mountain, and the surprise attack on the enemy camp was indispensable.

"Thanks to the soldiers' lives, the lord's reinforcements came in time, and the last general would not dare to be greedy!" Xiahou Yuan intervened.

"Work is work!" Cao Cao said with a smile: "Our army has now invaded Xuzhou, and we only need to defeat Chen Mo again to regain the Central Plains!" ”

This is not Cao Cao's big words, although Chen Mo has the Central Plains, but his foothold is not stable, at this time, if he can defeat Chen Mo again, Cao Cao regains the Central Plains, Chen Mo is powerless to stop it, maybe it will be less than the previous territory, but it is no problem to unite Jiangdong Sun Ce and rebalance Chen Mo.

"The last general is willing to be a pioneer!" Hearing this, Cao Hong strode out of the queue and said loudly.

The battle of Keiyashan also regained the confidence of the Cao army, which had been defeated before, although the Guanzhong army was brave, it was not invincible, since they could win a battle, they could win another ten, a hundred!

"I will take Zilian as the pioneer, take Zhengrong Valley first, if I expect it to be good, Chen Mo should be here, wonderful." Cao Cao saw that the military heart was available, nodded immediately, and looked at Xiahou Yuan again.

"The last general!" Xiahou Yuan got up and said.

"With 20,000 infantry on your horse, if Zhengrong Valley is attacked, the Guanzhong army will definitely come to help and block them!" Cao Cao took out an arrow and handed it to Xiahou Yuandao.

His biggest advantage now is his strength, even if he divides a group of troops and horses to intercept enemy reinforcements, his main army is more than Chen Mo.

"Whoa!" Xiahou Yuan took the token, saluted Cao Cao and then turned to leave.

Juxian is only forty miles away from Zhengrong Valley, and the current situation is somewhat similar to the confrontation between the two sides at the beginning, but this time, the weak side has become Chen Mo, and Cao Hong led the vanguard army to fight all the way to the Zhengrong Valley area.

In the camp of Zhengrong Valley, Chen Mo looked at the generals and said: "Now that the morale of the Cao army is strong, it shouldn't have been fought, but if it doesn't fight, the next battle will have to be dragged by Cao Cao's nose, who can win Cao Hong?" ”

A big war, if the rhythm is mastered by one party, for the other side, it is a very terrible thing, Chen Mo and Cao Cao are all soldiers in the world, naturally know this truth, Cao Cao is because of the momentum, ordered Cao Hong to come to fight, to further hit Chen Mo's morale, if you go all out, it is not difficult to defeat Cao Hong, but it cannot save morale, the best way is that someone can defeat Cao Hong, which is the same as the previous fighting generals, but in the past, it was a personal bravery, and now it is the overall level of the generals.

The generals looked at each other when they heard this, Cao Hong is also a fierce general, if you want to talk about war, all the generals present will naturally dare to fight, but if you want to say that you will win, on this battlefield, where will you win the battle?

"My lord, the last general is willing to fight!" Zhang He stepped forward, saluted Chen Mo, and said solemnly.

"Jun Yi, your army is newly defeated, and the odds of winning against Cao Hong at this time are not high!" Xun You persuaded.

"The lord, the military division, and the last general are newly defeated, but the soldiers under his command are ashamed of this, and the whole army does not want to wear the guilt and make meritorious service, and be ashamed!" Zhang He said loudly.

Although Chen Mo did not blame him, but took the responsibility on himself, but Zhang He couldn't feel at ease, this time Cao Hong came to provoke, it was an opportunity for him to be ashamed, how could he let it go?

"The general can know that this victory is quite critical in terms of the morale of our army, if the general is defeated again......" Xun You hesitated, there are some things that Chen Mo is not easy to say, but Xun You has no worries.

"The last general is willing to make a military order, if he doesn't win, he doesn't need to behead me, the last general will die on the battlefield!" Zhang He's eyes were red when he heard this, and he said loudly.

"It doesn't have to be this way! Not so much~" Xun You hurriedly shook his head and said: "This matter will be discussed for a long time." ”

"Lord!" Zhang He saluted Chen Mo and said: "There will be a will die, the soldier has no idea of stealing life, this battle, the last general can't think of why he will lose, my whole army, all thinking about a snow before the shame, if the lord refuses, how can the last general go back to face the soldiers in the army!?" ”

"This ......" Xun You looked at Chen Mo with some embarrassment, and exchanged glances with Chen Mo.

"I believe in you!" Chen Mo took out the order arrow, got up and handed it to Zhang He solemnly: "River. In the land of the north, there have been many heroic people since ancient times. Northern famous general, I believe that Jun Yi will not let me down, Zhang He listens to the order! ”

"The last general!" Zhang He intervened and saluted.

"I order you to lead 5,000 elite soldiers to fight Cao Hong and raise the prestige of our army, and I should personally cheer for you!" Chen Mo handed the arrow to Zhang Hedao with a serious face.

"The last general commands!" Zhang He took the arrow with both hands, and after saluting Chen Mo again, he got up and left the camp.
