Chapter 280: The Decisive Battle

Cao Cao retreated, and Yuan Shang naturally noticed it.

"Then how could Cao Mengde withdraw at this time!?" Yuan Shang stood up, in the past three days, the gate of Yecheng has been open, which made Yuan Shang a little undecided, not only because of the news that Han Meng brought back before, but also because of the news that Chen Mo took away 5,000 soldiers and horses in the south of the city and did not know where to go.

Chen Mo's prestige no longer needs to be repeated, since he entered Luoyang that year, he leveled Gepi and blocked Yuan Shu, who was in full swing at the beginning, and then entered Hedong, Pinghezhou, Pinghedong, and Pingxiliang, and even his own father was defeated by Chen Mo with fewer victories.

Such a person, at this time, suddenly disappeared with 5,000 men and horses, even if it was 5,000 troops, it would still make people feel quite pressured, Chen Mo did not appear for a day, and this pressure was pressed in his heart like a boulder, making people feel a little breathless.

At this time, Cao Cao, who was a temporary ally, suddenly quit, which made Yuan Shang feel a little isolated and helpless.

What is manifested is emotional restlessness.

Tian Feng and Fu Zhu glanced at each other, their expressions solemn.

Cao Cao naturally didn't come here with any good intentions, he also came for Jizhou, at this time, the two joined forces, which was originally better than Chen Mo, Cao Cao had no reason to retreat, but now he retreated so suddenly, it shows that there is no reason to retreat.

Although Cao Cao has not given them any news so far, Tian Feng and Fu Zhi estimate that perhaps this is the real reason for Chen Mo's disappearance, his purpose is not his own side, and the real intention is Cao Cao's.

As soon as Cao Cao retreated, only Yuan Shang's family remained, and the situation in Yecheng immediately changed.

In the past, Yuan Shang naturally wished that Cao Cao would get out of here, so that his enemy would be only Chen Mo, but now, Yecheng was held by Chen Mo, and the time and place were no longer in his hands, facing Chen Mo, a figure who had defeated his father with fewer victories, Yuan Shang found that he had no confidence to drive Chen Mo away alone.

He needed Cao Cao as an ally.

"Lord, for the sake of today's plan, you should break Yecheng as soon as possible and occupy the advantageous location before you can fight with Chen Mo!" Tian Feng said solemnly.

Now that Cao Cao has withdrawn from his army, he will fight against Chen Mo alone, if Yecheng is in hand, he can still fight against Chen Mo, otherwise it will be difficult to take advantage.

"That's right, inform Gao Ran and Han Meng, no matter what he has in the city today, rush in for me!" Yuan Shang slapped the table and stood up, and said fiercely.

"Whoa!"

At the moment, Yuan Shang raised his army and prepared to attack Yecheng first, but when the army was ready to enter the city desperately, Gao Ran sent someone to send news that the gate of Yecheng was ...... Closed.

After Yuan Shangde heard the news, he only felt a blockage in his chest and did not speak for a long time.

It seems that he missed the best opportunity to attack Yecheng.

Tian Feng and Fu Zhu sighed, they had also persuaded Yuan Shang before, but Yuan Shang had been wavering, worried that there was a problem in Yecheng, this was obviously an empty city plan set up by Chen Mo, in order to make them suspicious.

I also want to know that Chen Mo's army is fighting against Cao Cao, even if there is still some spare strength, it is impossible to have much.

But they were made suspicious by the open city gate and the strange ambush in the city, and they missed the best opportunity to attack Yecheng.

Not to mention the inexperienced Yuan Shang, even Tian Feng and Fu Zhu have been shaken.

At this time, looking at the closed city gate and the retracted suspension bridge, Yuan Shang, Tian Feng and the others were speechless, and what was worse was that the horn belonging to the Guanzhong Army sounded in the distance.

"Is it combatable?" Yuan Shang looked at Tian Feng and Fu Zhu, in the current situation, he was already a little at a loss, should he fight or retreat?

"My lord, there is no way back for us now." Tian Feng sighed and said leisurely.

In today's situation, Yuan Shang has no way to retreat, Changshan and Zhongshan have been captured by Tai Shici, if they retreat at this time, Chen Mo will definitely continue to press up, but Julu, Anping and even the counties of Hejian will be invaded by Chen Mo, at that time, they can only retreat again and again, retreat to Youzhou.

Jizhou failed to stop Chen Mo, there is only one Youzhou left, the land is vast and sparsely populated, how can it compete with Chen Mo?

This battle must be fought, and they have no way to retreat.

Yuan Shang nodded, didn't say more, it is impossible to attack the city now, and immediately ordered Gao Lan, Han Meng, Jiang Yiqu, and Wei Yuanjin to change their formations and prepare to resist the Guanzhong army.

On the other side, in Chen Mo's army, Chen Mo, who had already completed the deployment, heard the horn sound that did not belong to his own army in the distance, stood on the frame, looked at the direction of the Guanzhong army from afar, shook his head and smiled, isn't it too late to resist at this time?

The flag waved and the horn sounded, and the main army, led by Gao Shun and Xu Huang, began to approach Zhangshui.

There were not too many pre-war declarations, this was the last large-scale military battle after Chen Mo invaded Jizhou, but the enemy was the Jizhou army, which had been defeated by the Cao army and the Guanzhong army.

Although there were not many opportunities to fight before, just from the appearance of the army, it was obvious that compared with the Cao army that had been fought before, the Jizhou army seemed to be weaker by one level.

"Blade Array!" Gao Shun looked at the Jizhou army slowly welcoming in front of him, waved the order flag, and the soldiers and horses under his command quickly formed a cone formation with the trapping camp as the tip, and began to attack the left flank of the Jizhou army.

On the other side, Xu Huang slowly pressed to the right flank of the Jizhou Army with the most regular phalanx.

Chen Mo commanded the Chinese army, pressed up from the front without hurry, the two armies advanced against each other, and soon entered the range of the other party, the archers on both sides stopped advancing almost at the same time, and under the command of generals at all levels, the arrows were briefly staggered in the air, and then fell to the local camp.

On the battlefield, casualties are inevitable, and indifference to life and death is the foundation that every soldier must learn, otherwise even if you are brave and champion the three armies, it is easy to shake your faith.

The spearmen and sword and shield men in the front row approached with a rain of arrows, and the real battle began at this moment.

Chen Mo stood on the wheel, and orders were constantly handed down, regulating the changes in the battle situation, and at the same time observing the flaws of the enemy army.

Compared with Cao Cao, Yuan Shang is obviously a lot immature in this regard, although he has read a lot of war books, but what is said in the book is different from the actual battle, he can't even see the change of the opponent's formation unconsciously, Tian Feng and Fu Zhu are constantly pointing on the side, and sometimes they will directly replace Yuan Shang to pass orders.

Although he was a little dissatisfied in his heart, there was no way, at this moment, Yuan Shang could clearly feel the feeling of powerlessness, he couldn't control such an army at all, so Chen Mo was not much different in age from himself, how did he achieve this level?

The battle gradually became fierce, the first large-scale change was Gao Shun's side, the ability to break the camp was too strong, almost at the moment of collision with the opponent's left flank, it had already torn a hole in the opponent's left flank, and continued to expand the results, the rear soldiers and horses poured in from the tearing crack like a tide, Wei Yuanjin wanted to make up for it several times, but was embarrassed by the trapped camp and killed, and retreated.

Chen Mo naturally noticed this, and immediately waved the order flag, ordering the right flank to break through to the Chinese army, and cooperate with the main force of the Guanzhong army to break the enemy's Chinese army.

Tian Feng's face was a little pale, and for the first time he felt the bravery of the Guanzhong Army, not only on Gao Shun's side, but also on Xu Huang's side, although it was not as sharp as Gao Shun's, but it was like Shanyue, pressing the right flank to fight, although Jiang Yiqu was undefeated, he was also gritting his teeth and holding on.

When the Chinese army of the Guanzhong Army was pressed down under the command of Chen Mo, the left and right flanks were almost crushed.

And the result of this is that the Chinese army has also been affected, and before the battle, the officers and men of the Chinese army have begun to show signs of instability!

"Don't retreat in the front row, violators, behead!" Gao Ran commanded the Chinese army to advance, but his heart was constantly sinking, this has not yet been fought, and his own Chinese army has begun to show signs of collapse.

It's not that the Jizhou army is incompetent, but the pressure brought by the Guanzhong army is too heavy, in Gao Lan's feeling, the opponent's Chinese army is like a mountain pressed down, not to mention ordinary soldiers, even Gao Ran has a suppressed feeling of being breathless.

The Chinese armies of the two sides finally collided together under the rain of arrows from each other.

"Bang~Bang~Bang~"

The heavy shield slammed, and a dull muffled sound constantly echoed across the battlefield.

"Kill!" In the collision of forces, the enemy's shield hand was knocked down, and the shield hand of the other side quickly grabbed it, and the spear behind him quickly stabbed out, blocking the opponent from reuniting.

The originally strict formation began to be chaotic, and the men and horses on both sides began to stagger, fighting.

The smell of blood began to spread throughout the battlefield, and the corpses of the fallen were trampled in the increasingly muddy ground.

This situation did not last long, as the trapped camp broke through to the Chinese army and killed the opponent's archer camp directly, Yuan's army began to become chaotic, and the front army began to disconnect from the rear formation.

"Yuan Jin!" Seeing this, Gao Ran scolded angrily, and hurriedly ordered Han Meng to lead his troops to rush forward to block the enemy troops from the flank.

The trapping camp was like a dagger stabbing between the enemy's chest and ribs, causing confusion in the entire Chinese camp of Yuan's army.

Although Han Meng killed in time to block the trapped camp, the chaotic formation that appeared because of the charge of the trapped camp was grasped by Chen Mo in time, and the front army took advantage of the situation to attack, and at the moment when the enemy's front and rear armies were out of touch, they grasped the fighter plane, completely crushed the front army, and drove the front army to attack Gao Lan's rear formation.

"Steady! The Retreater, Slash! Gao Ran rode back and forth, personally killed several retreating former soldiers, and ordered the overseers to step forward, which stabilized the situation that almost collapsed.

But even so, chaos has been born, no matter how powerful Gao Ran is, but the defeat of the former army has appeared, Chen Mo is unyielding, after gaining a slight advantage, he quickly ordered Zhang Ji, Bao Geng and others of the front army to expand the results, not to give the other party a chance to breathe, nor to give the other party a chance to fight back.

Gao Ran tried his best to stabilize the situation, but looking at the scene in front of him, he felt a little sad in his heart, even if he could block the Guanzhong Army today, but what about tomorrow? The gap between the two sides is not only in the army, but also in the coach, this gap cannot be made up in a short period of time, how long can they hold on?
