Chapter 191: New Moves
The battle continues, Wen Chou's life and death cannot affect the outcome of the battle, of course, if Wen Chou can capture Chen Mo or Chen Mo is more timid and scared away by Wen Chou, he may be able to reverse the outcome of this battle, but unfortunately Wen Chou failed and paid for his life.
Not to mention Chen Mo and Yuan Shao, who were on the outside, for the soldiers of the two armies who were still fighting, they could actually feel the gradual change of the atmosphere, and the trapped camp was inconspicuous in the vast sea of people, but the consequences of the attack at this time were terrifying, after Han Meng's troops were completely crushed and defeated, the trapped camp did not stop the journey, and then killed other departments under the command of Gao Shun.
Fear and turmoil spread like ripples among the Yuan army, and correspondingly, it was the officers and soldiers of Guanzhong who were like a shot in the arm, and for everyone in the game, these subtle changes may not be discovered at once in the subjective consciousness, but the subconscious performance is fatal.
For example, the officers and soldiers of Guanzhong are becoming more and more ferocious, and the Yuan army is already exhausted, and the situation of collapse begins to appear at the touch of a button, although Yuan Shaojun is many, but unlike the generals of Guanzhong, they are generally trained in a unified and rigorous manner, because the generals who are trained are different, and the performance of the battle is also different, at this time, the strength of the army can be seen at a glance, some of the army is almost a touch of collapse, but some can still grit their teeth and hold on.
Yuan Shao's face turned pale as he watched the battle situation change step by step in a direction that was unfavorable to him, but Yuan Shao, as the commander-in-chief, was powerless to change anything, especially the unbearable performance of Yuan Jun at the moment, many troops had begun to flee, which made Yuan Shao's face even more ugly.
"Lord, this place is already dangerous, Lord should retreat quickly!" Guo Tu looked at Yuan Shao and bowed.
Tian Feng, Fu Zhu and others frowned when they heard this, but they did not dissuade them, the battle situation is here, the victory or defeat is almost irreversible, and Yuan Shao is not only the commander of the three armies, but also the lord of Jizhou, Qingzhou and Youzhou, continue to stay here at this time, once the army is completely defeated, Yuan Shaoke will be in danger, so even if Tian Feng and Fu Zhu feel that as the commander at this moment, even if they are defeated, they should not retreat in such a hurry, but Wei Yuan Shao is in danger, so he can only choose to shut up.
"Rubbish!" slapped the wheel fiercely, Yuan Shao directly ordered the guards to retreat, he naturally could see that he was no longer safe here, Wen Chou could break through and kill in front of Chen Mo, Chen Mo's command was also like a cloud, why couldn't he kill him, after leaving two words, Yuan Shao left straight away with a group of strategists under the escort of the guards, and did not return to the camp, but went directly to the direction of Yecheng.
Yuan Shao's departure may not be noticeable to the soldiers of the Yuan army who are still fighting, but for Chen Mo, who has been observing the battlefield, he is the first person who is keenly aware of Yuan Shao's movements.
When he saw the moment Yuan Shao's frame left, Chen Mo was overjoyed, although he had locked the victory, but the appearance of Wen Chou made Chen Mo vigilant, before a complete victory, he could not take it lightly, and immediately ordered Ma Chao to lead his troops to attack, and at the same time let the army shout that Yuan Shao had fled, further damaging Yuan Shao's morale.
Ma Chao received the order at the moment, led the men and horses to kill, and entered the crowd from the side, while beating the horse and whipping, he shouted loudly: "Yuan Shao has fled, when will you wait until you surrender!?" ”
Ma Chao shouted like this, but his subordinates were merciless, and when they encountered the enemy, they shot the other party to death, and at the same time made the soldiers behind him shout: "Yuan Shao escaped!" ”
Not only them, but also the officers and soldiers of the Guanzhong Army who were fighting.
Some of the soldiers of the Yuan army who were still resisting did not believe it, and some people looked back and saw that where Yuan Shao was originally staying, although the handsome flag was still there, the canopy representing Yuan Shao had disappeared.
The soldiers of the three armies are still fighting with their lives, as their commander, Yuan Shao fled at this time, and all of a sudden, the morale that was not too high completely collapsed, and a large number of Yuan troops began to join the ranks of rout, and the Yuan army, which had already been supported to the limit, Yuan Shao's departure was like the last straw that crushed the camel's camel, and completely collapsed.
"Chase!" After Chen Mo observed the enemy formation, he decisively ordered, at this time, he didn't pay attention to what poor people were chasing, the victory was decided, and he should naturally beat the water dogs and expand the fruits of his victory.
The morale of the Guanzhong army was greatly shaken, and they began to launch a pursuit, and for a while, more than 100,000 people began to pull away rapidly, and the mountains and fields were full of human figures, and the blood flowed all over the place, and the sound of fighting began to spread in all directions.
Chen Mo looked at this scene and was really relieved, it lasted nearly three months, he finally finished the battle, he won, the next step is to take the fruits of victory, and looked at everyone at the moment: "Pass my military order, chase it all the way to Chaoge, the land of Hanoi, I want to occupy it all, after capturing Chaoge, I ordered Wang Biao to be the general of the town, stationed in Chaoge on the spot, transferred Yusheng to guard Huai County, and Hanoi soldiers and horses were all dispatched by Yusheng." ”
Hanoi has been down, that Aocang and Xingyang are no longer Chen Mo's only peripheral cities in the Central Plains, and Yu Sheng's performance in Aocang against the enemy was deeply appreciated by Chen Mo, so Yu Sheng was promoted to the entire Hedong guard, Uncle Wang is also good at guarding, he guards the song, and in the face of Yuan Shao's front line with Yu Sheng Chen Mo can also rest assured, Yuan Shao after this defeat, there will be no more conflicts with Chen Mo in a short period of time, and the land of Hanoi is temporarily safe.
As for taking advantage of the situation to capture Jizhou...... Yuan Shao is not so weak, Chen Mo does not have such a big appetite, and at the same time, it is impossible for Cao Cao to watch Chen Mo swallow Jizhou, and even once this battle is won, Chen Mo is worried that Cao Cao will take the opportunity to attack, and the alliance between the two sides will be terminated at this moment, Cao Cao will not let Chen Mo continue to expand the results of the battle, and Chen Mo is also not worried about Cao Cao.
Hanoi will be a springboard for Chen Mo to enter the Central Plains one day, but at present, Chen Mo does not have the strength to enter the Central Plains.
Yuan Shao originally just wanted to leave quickly, at least to go decently, but then the whole army was defeated, the soldiers all over the mountains and fields were running around, and the Guanzhong army in the rear was fighting everywhere, Yuan Shao could only join the desertion army and flee all the way to Yecheng in order to avoid being captured by Chen Mosheng.
After Yuan Shao returned to Yecheng, he thought of the embarrassment along the way, and was ashamed and indignant, and scolded angrily several times: "Xiaqiu dung lang, deceive people too much, sooner or later he will be punished!" ”
Especially at this time, Chen Mo also sent an envoy to negotiate peace, and Yuan Shao immediately ordered him to be beaten with a stick.
"My lord!" Tian Feng's face changed, and he said to stop: "Lord, at this time, our army is newly defeated, but in the land of Qingzhou, Cao Cao is still fighting with our army, in addition, there are many traitors in Jizhou who need to be suppressed, and now Chen Mo has not pursued after he has won the land of Hanoi, obviously Chen Mo is worried about Cao Cao, the lord is discussing peace with Chen Mo at this moment, so that he can free his hand to drive Cao Cao away and clear the rebellion, if the lord refuses to negotiate peace at this moment, it will anger Chen Mo, and it will be even more out of control." ”
Now Yuan Shao was still angry, and when he heard this, he said angrily: "What dare Cao Cao dare to confront me head-on!?" ”
"Maybe not before, but I'm afraid it's ...... after this battle" Tian Feng frowned and said, the impact of Yuan Shao's defeat is not small, at least the original deterrent effect on the whole world has disappeared, plus this battle has lost a lot of soldiers and horses, although the 100,000 army can still be put together, but the 100,000 army that has been put together now is not comparable to the 100,000 army when he fought with Chen Mo before, and it is difficult to compare with the previous morale and his own combat effectiveness.
Tian Feng's words are naturally correct, but he is slapping Yuan Shao in the face, the current Yuan Shao, I'm afraid that what others are most tired of mentioning is this battle.
Although the logistics were burned by Ma Chao, the one who lost was beaten by Chen Mo in a dignified manner, this kind of thing, it would be wrong to say so in front of Yuan Shao.
"I'll expel him and see if Chen Mo has the guts to fight again!" Yuan Shao was really furious when he heard this, and roared and kicked the table in front of him, and shouted angrily: "Come on, beat that Chen Mo's messenger out for me!" ”
As for killing, Yuan Shao will not do it, the two countries will not fight each other, Yuan Shao will not break the rules in this courtesy, but even so, when Chen Mo learned that his envoy was beaten out by Yuan Shao, he couldn't help but want to teach Yuan Shao another lesson!
"My lord, although our army has won at this time, the military strength, grain and grass are no longer enough to support another big war." Xun You persuaded, let's bear this matter first, this battle was a bit of a fluke, if it weren't for Ma Chao's mistake and the lack of Yuan Shao's military rations, Yuan Shao would not have come out to fight Chen Mo like this, if it continues to be consumed, I am afraid that it will be Chen Mo who will not be able to support it in the end.
After all, if he hadn't been forced to be helpless, Yuan Shao would not have been able to run out directly to fight Chen Mo, and it can be seen from the command of this battle that Yuan Shao is not the kind of outstanding commander, and in terms of command ability, he is more than a step worse than Chen Mo.
"That's it!" Chen Mo nodded and said, "I'll wait until he is angry." ”
After speaking, he looked at the crowd: "Hanoi has been decided, but the three armies should not evacuate first, and follow me across the river to the Central Plains!" ”
Central Plains? Everyone was a little puzzled when they heard this, what were they doing in the Central Plains? After beating Yuan Shao, do you still want to clean up Cao Cao?
Chen Mo didn't explain much, and led the army to take advantage of the fact that the river had not thawed, and crossed the river to garrison troops in the area of Chenliu first, and did not capture the city, but just set up camp and drafted soldiers and horses all day.
However, although Chen Mo did not have any attack, Cao Cao could not be regarded as not seeing, the news of Chen Mo's victory over Yuan Shao had reached Qingzhou at this moment, Cao Cao had occupied Jinan County, but it was a little difficult to go further, now Chen Mo defeated Yuan Shao, and came with a great victory, even if there were not many troops, Cao Cao did not dare to really ignore it, and at that moment he sent someone to ask Chen Mo what he meant, while quickly leaving Lu Qian to guard Jinan County, he quickly led his troops to Chen Liu to confront Chen Mo!
