"Woo~Woo~Woo~"

The desolate horn sound echoed in the heaven and earth, and the purging army began to march towards Chaoge City with the sound of the horn, Han Qiong had just been frustrated and his morale was declining.

On the arrow tower in the camp, Zhang He stood at the top, looking at the soldiers of Guanzhong who had opened in the distance, his heart was a little heavy, the team of soldiers seemed to be endless, and they continued to kill from the direction of the enemy camp, and went straight to Chaoge, according to the original plan with Han Qiong, the city and the camp were horns between each other, one side was attacked, and the other was convenient to immediately attack the enemy's rear, so that it could not attack with all its strength.

But at this moment, Zhang He could not send troops as he had said before, but he saw that outside the camp, a group of men and horses were already waiting outside the camp, and there was a shouting of horses back and forth before the battle.

"Where is Zhang He? I heard that you are also a famous general in Hebei, as famous as that Yan Liangwen and ugly, can you dare to go out of the camp to fight with me today? Let me see how incompetent the famous generals of Hebei are! But seeing outside the camp, a young general galloped back and forth with a loud voice, shaking the three armies, but what was even more inspiring was the words of the other party, like a knife that kept poking the hearts of Jizhou soldiers.

Xiliang Ma Chao, who showed his reputation in the war between Chen Mo and Yuan Shao that year, led his troops to attack Yuan Shao's back road, and burned down the Muye granary, causing Yuan Shao to have no food, so he had to fight Chen Mo in a decisive battle, and finally lost a big defeat.

Ma Chao even killed Yan Liang and Chun Yuqiong to shock the world, and now he came here to call for battle, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he talked about Yan Liang's matter, which made people hate itchy, but they were helpless!

Ma Chao asked for a battle, but Zhang He couldn't respond, if he responded to the battle, regardless of winning or losing, then Chen Mo's soldiers and horses were likely to turn to directly attack the camp, if they went to save Han Qiong, the camp would be broken by Ma Chao.

At this time, the usefulness of Zhang Yi's 3,000 cavalry outside was highlighted, Zhang He couldn't help admiring Han Qiong in his heart, if it weren't for his reminder, Zhang He was in a dilemma at this time.

Just looking at the mighty Guanzhong army in the distance, as well as the various siege equipment that appeared from time to time, Zhang He was a little stunned, and he didn't know if the old general could hold the song.

Outside the camp, Ma Chao saw that no one was fighting, and couldn't help sneering: "Hebei Siting Zhu, could it be that they have lost their courage?" Since we don't dare to fight, why should we block the way of our army here, it is better to surrender early, or we can get an official and a half-post. ”

"If you really have the ability, why don't you dare to attack the camp for a long time, but you only know what kind of hero you are to act like a vicious dog barking like a vicious dog?" Zhang He took a deep breath and said loudly.

"Ha, a certain battle for many years, it is the first time that the turtle can't be so arrogant, if I attack the camp, wouldn't I take the lives of the generals in our army as child's play?" Ma Chao laughed and said: "You dare to use such a radical method to sacrifice ugliness, I really don't know what to say." ”

Isn't it stupid? Is this taking oneself for a fool? Zhang He laughed a little angrily, didn't argue with him, and said coldly: "If you want to fight, lead the troops to attack, otherwise Hugh will bark here." ”

After speaking, he ignored Ma Chao, turned around and left, he also had to command Zhang Yi to help Han Qiong, how could he have the heart to scold Ma Chao here.

Although Chen Mo said that Ma Chao's trip, as long as Zhang He was contained, it would be regarded as a contribution, but Ma Chao obviously did not want to just contain it, and when he saw Zhang He turn around and leave, he couldn't help but scold again, but Zhang He saw through his plan, which would provoke him, but he just ignored it, and issued a strict order, no one was allowed to leave the camp without his order.

Ma Chao scolded for a long time, and when he saw that no one answered, he was angry, but he had no choice but to watch here, and asked people to take turns to come forward and scold, trying to lure out several generals of the other side and wait for an opportunity to break the enemy.

However, Zhang He's army was very strict, and his subordinates did not get generals, even if they were depressed, they did not dare to go out of the camp to fight without authorization, so they could only let Ma Chao be arrogant outside the camp.

"Lord, that Zhang He didn't forcibly send troops." On the other side, Chen Mo commanded the army to go out and pulled the army away with a long snake formation, trying to lure Zhang He to forcibly send troops, and cooperate with Ma Chao to break Zhang He first, but unfortunately Zhang He obviously did not hit the plan, until Chen Mo's army completely arrived in Chaoge, Zhang He did not send troops.

"Don't be careless!" Chen Mo sighed, this Zhang He was quite calm, much stronger than Yan Liang and Wen Chou in the past, and after giving an order, he began to observe the defense of Chaoge City.

Chaoge is the ancient capital of the Shang Dynasty, but since the Yin Dynasty, here is a rapid decline, the glorious ancient city of the past, most of it has been destroyed, and now the Chaoge is far less majestic than the historical records, just a county seat.

However, the defense of Chaoge City is quite perfect, Zhang He began to order people to strengthen the defense of Chaoge City, obviously also knows the importance of Chaoge, this is the last barrier to the south of Yecheng, if it is broken here, Chen Mo's army can reach Yecheng.

According to the usual practice, Chen Mo first asked Zhang Xiu to surrender outside the city, although the possibility is very small, but the first salute and then the soldiers, it can be regarded as expressing his respect for the veteran.

Zhang Xiu went to shout, but naturally to no avail.

"Attack!" Chen Mo didn't talk nonsense, and directly ordered the siege of the city, carrying catapults, rams, and ladders to the front line, and slowly moving towards Chaoge City, and at the same time, under the command of generals at all levels, a team of soldiers launched a charge towards the city, and the arrows on both sides shot towards the opposite side like a rain of arrows.

After a short rain of arrows, the siege army began to touch the city wall, and one after another cloud ladders were erected on the city wall, and the soldiers began to charge, but Han Qiong's side did not let it go at all, and the two sides launched a fierce battle up and down the city wall.

"My lord, the last general will ask for battle." Gao Shun saw that the situation was stalemate and could not break the city, so he came to Chen Mo and bowed down.

"Today is just a test, to see what Han Qiong is capable of, and whether they have a backhand, there is no battle in the camp today." Chen Mo shook his head, the trapped camp is a treasure in his hands, every loss is enough to make Chen Mo feel distressed, how can he take out the truth as soon as he goes to the battlefield, now the enemy situation is unknown, and the enemy's means have not been exhausted, Chen Mo will not let the trapped camp participate in the war.

The hot boiling oil was poured on the ladder, igniting the ladder, and the soldiers who climbed on the ladder and rushed forward screamed and rolled down from the ladder, and the battering ram was constantly smashed by rolling logs and stones, and the battle on the city wall began to become more and more intense.

Chen Mo stared at the changes on the city wall, although the morale of the siege troops was strong, but Han Qiong's dispatch was quite steady, such a strong attack for a day, Han Qiong's position did not have the slightest confusion, the siege army attacked for a day, but it was far from forcing Han Qiong to make a mistake, but Chen Mo's side suffered a lot, and the ladders and battering rams that were pushed onto the battlefield were even more exhausted.

For the next three consecutive days, Chen Mo pressed Chaoge City to fight again, and even transferred Ma Jun to make engineering equipment to assist in the siege, and on the third day, as the siege crossbow was sent to the battlefield, the defenders finally showed a trace of fatigue.

"Woo woo woo~"

In the passionate horn sound, a cavalry suddenly bypassed the city and killed towards the rear of the Guanzhong army, the Guanzhong army was caught off guard, and the formation was shaken by this cavalry, and there was chaos in the rear, Chen Mo hurriedly ordered Zhang Ji and Zhang Xiu to lead the troops to encircle and suppress, but the cavalry did not love to fight, and left with one blow, not giving Chen Mo a chance to join the siege at all, the offensive was frustrated, Chen Mo ordered Ming Jin, but his eyes looked at the cavalry that was far away.

"Is this their hole card?" Chen Mo pondered for a moment, pointed to the cavalry and said, "Find the location of this cavalry, tomorrow Pang De will lead the cavalry to pursue, so that it can rescue the city." ”

"Whoa!" Pound agreed, bowed and retired.

"Gao Shun!" Back in the camp, Chen Mo called Gao Shun.

"The end will be." Gao Shun bowed.

"Tomorrow the camp will go out, remember, if the camp moves, this battle will be won!" Chen Mingyi really looked at Gao Shundao.

The bottom line in the city has been discovered by Chen Mo, and today Han Qiong is actually a little unstoppable, so he called out the cavalry to attack, and Chaoge City can be taken tomorrow.

"The last general commands!" When Gao Shun heard this, he immediately took the order, said goodbye and left, and went to reorganize the army.

Early the next morning, looking at the mighty enemy army outside the city, Han Qiong felt a sense of oppression, the momentum of the Guanzhong army today seems to be more than in the past, and there are more people and horses, is this going to be a decisive battle?

Han Qiong's eyes stared at the other party's army that was slowly moving forward, and orders were constantly issued, although Chaoge was a small city, if he wanted to break Chaoge in his own hands, even Chen Mo couldn't do it.

As usual, the rain of arrows was handed over, and the siege equipment was constantly pushed to the front line, and the two sides had already known each other after the previous three days of fighting, and Han Qiong did not hide it anymore, and immediately notified Zhang Yi to lead the cavalry to attack the enemy's flank, so that the enemy could not easily attack the city.

Pang De took the order and led the cavalry to gallop and chase after the Zhangyi, so that the other party could not get close to the army formation of Chen Mo's army.

Although the Jizhou cavalry is elite, Chen Mo's Xiliang iron cavalry is not bad, and Pang De is also a rare good general, with him on the side, it is very difficult for Zhang Yi to get close to Chen Mo's army.

At the same time, the siege war was also completely launched, Gao Shun's trap camp did not rush to the front, but mixed in the army, after the two sides received the enemy, the trap camp quickly moved forward, the eight hundred trap camp was like a sharp knife, after approaching the city, it took off its disguise, divided into ten teams and quickly climbed along the ten ladders, the fire oil in the city has been exhausted in the previous three days of offensive and defensive battles, and the soldiers defending the city have been exhausted, but the soldiers of the trap camp have been recuperating, this time as soon as they entered the battlefield, they quickly killed to the front and climbed up.

Although the defenders tried their best to stop it, the soldiers in the camp were wrapped in armor, and it was difficult for ordinary swords to cut into, and they were brave enough to kill and kill bravely, and they had already killed the city wall in less than a moment when they appeared on the battlefield, and quickly emptied a large section of the city wall.

"Quick! Knock these people down! Han Qiong didn't expect that there were such elite soldiers and horses in the opposing army, and a large part of the city wall was lost at this moment, so he hurriedly led the men and horses to drive the trapped camp down, but unfortunately it was too late......
