Xu Huang's army began to set up a village in the afternoon, and Chen Mo tried to send people to disrupt it, but Xu Huang made preparations in advance, and several attacks on the camp failed to complete the success.

If it is the people and horses brought out by himself, Chen Mo will definitely take people out directly and not give Xu Huang a chance to gain a foothold, marching and fighting is sometimes like playing chess, it is better to lose a son than to lose a first, Chen Mo has always been this style of fighting, but at the moment he is not surrounded by the Hedong Army, but a patchwork army, and now the simple flag language cannot be fully understood, and it is not suitable for fighting this kind of large-scale battle at all.

"Lord, I'll take someone!" Dian Wei looked at several disgraced generals, and even one of them was directly beheaded, he was angry, it was the first time since he followed Chen Mo to fight, and he was so passive.

"Don't mind!" Chen Mo waved his hand, looked at the generals who came back from failure, the smile on his face could make people feel sincere, and said gently: "Xu Huang does have a strategy, and you have just commanded the troops and horses, and the command of the troops is naturally not as comfortable as in the past, this is my mistake." ”

"Don't say that, my lord!" All the generals, in the past, they were all middle-level generals under Hu Cai and Li Le, Li Le and Hu Caimo said that they were all beating and scolding the generals and colonels under their command, when they talked to them like Chen Mo so gently, not to mention that they were dead-hearted, but they had a little warmth in their hearts, and they also had a little more devotion to their lives.

"Everyone, go back first to pacify the people, guard the camp, and talk about the rest tomorrow." Chen Mo smiled.

"Whoa!" The generals agreed, and each returned to the camp to reorganize the soldiers and horses.

"Lord, why don't you let me try?" After Dian Wei watched everyone leave, he looked at Chen Modao.

Although he owes a little on weekdays, but after following Chen Mo for a long time, he slowly knows some things, when he can speak and when he can't speak, Dian Wei knows in his heart, he won't blame Chen Mo for owing Chen Mo on weekdays, but if he doesn't know how to measure, he can't be Chen Mo's henchman guard.

"You have to grasp the proportion, then Xu Huang has taken precautions, and now I send someone to attack the camp can be regarded as a temptation, but if you are sent out, but you still refuse to lead the army to attack, I am afraid that Xu Huang will see the truth." Chen Mo shook his head and looked at Dian Wei and said: "These stragglers are no better than the soldiers of Hedong, and the orders are more difficult to restrain than the soldiers, and the previous way of fighting is not suitable now." ”

In the past, no matter how many people around him, he could give the same order, advance when he heard the drums, retreat with gold, and command on the battlefield like an arm, and he fought very easily, but now although there are many people under his hands, they are temporary patchwork, the subordinates are unknown, and the orders are different, no matter how many soldiers there are, there is no way to win the battle, if he encounters an opponent who does not understand the art of war and only knows how to do it, Chen Mo has a way to clean it up, I am afraid that Xu Huang, who is proficient in the art of war and good at fighting but calm, Chen Mo must hide his shortcomings from the other party.

In fact, not only Chen Mo, many famous generals are like this, leading elite soldiers to win battles, and they are invincible, but if they change soldiers and horses, it will be difficult to play dazzling results, and if they are not careful, they may be defeated by the enemy, which is the reason, which is also the reason why Chen Mo feels tired.

Leading a rabble to fight is exhausting.

"Report~" The guards outside the door walked to the tent, bowed down and said, "Lord, General Bao asks to see you." ”

"Enter!" Chen Mo nodded.

Soon, Bao Geng came in and saluted Chen Mo and said, "Lord, just visited the Malay newspaper, Yang Fengzheng led the army to Qi County. ”

Chen Mo nodded and said, "Explore again." ”

Chen Mo has thought about this, but there are only so many soldiers and horses that can be mobilized at the moment, it depends on whether Uncle Wang can hold out for a few days, giving Gao Shun enough time to take Jingling, as long as Jingling is taken, the back road is endless, and it is not unacceptable to give up Qi County, but if not, then Chen Mo can only retreat to Zhongdu.

Of course, Chen Mo didn't want anything to happen to Uncle Wang, so when he left, he had left a bamboo slip for Uncle Wang to open at a critical time.

"Whoa!" Bao Geng received the order and turned to leave.

"Lord, there are only more than 1,000 people in Qi County!" Dian Wei was a little anxious, Wang Biao was his brother in life and death.

"I know." Chen Mo nodded: "Don't worry, Uncle Wang will be fine, I have already left a military order, if you can't do anything, abandon the city quickly." ”

"Then why don't you keep more people?" Dian Wei wondered.

"Uncle Wang led the troops for the first time, a thousand people may be able to do it, and ...... more" Chen Mo sighed, it can be regarded as a test of Uncle Wang's ability, if it can be reused, emotionally speaking, Chen Mo naturally hopes to promote Uncle Wang, with this merit of defending the city, no one will be dissatisfied with the promotion, but if not, Chen Mo will still use it, do some more private things, and still be a cronie, but it will not be reused militarily, and even the official position will not be too high.

Chen Mo didn't finish speaking, but Dian Wei understood, Chen Mo has always used people to see his ability, such as Dian Wei, who is close enough to Chen Mo, Chen Mo has nothing to say to him, the book worth thousands of gold will be sent, and he will also point out some military techniques to Dian Wei on weekdays, but he will not let Dian Wei lead the troops alone, Chen Mo's personal guards have been changing, like Dian Wei, Chen Mo will give instructions, most of those who have the ability to lead troops have been sent out by Chen Mo, and the size is regarded as a general who leads the troops, Bao Geng in the early days, and Shi Geng in the later days are like this, but Dian Wei, has always served as Chen Mo's personal guard commander, and in terms of position, he is also considered a general, but he can't compare with Gao Shun, Da Lang, and Zhong Yun.

However, Dian Wei is also relatively satisfied with his current status, he doesn't have to worry about food and housing, and in addition to business, Chen Mo generally doesn't have too much demand for him, and those generals see him, so they have to give three points, which is good.

"Arrange tonight's defense, you go to rest, I don't know what the situation will be tomorrow, you may be used." Chen Mo said to Dian Wei.

"Don't worry, lord!" Dian Wei grinned when he heard this: "If Xu Huang dares to come out tomorrow, I guarantee to bring his head." ”

Chen Mo nodded and let him leave.

Xu Huang, as a pioneer general, personally ran out to fight alone, if this is the case, Chen Mo is relieved, he is inappropriate, Chen Mo can design to shoot him into a sieve, but it's a pity that such a fool is not easy to find these days! Especially the commander of the army, Chen Mo has never encountered a person like this.

There was nothing to say all night, and early the next morning, Xu Huang ordered Yang Ping to guard the camp and prepare to bring 2,000 soldiers and horses to fight outside the camp.

"Komeito...... Checkmate! Yang Ping frowned and said: "Then Chen Mo's camp, let alone there are 10,000 troops, you only bring 2,000 soldiers and horses, how can you win?" ”

Xu Huang said with a smile while packing up his war horse: "Don't worry, if he has few people, I will fight, if there are many people, I will withdraw the army, yesterday he came to test, but today I want to see his reality." ”

"Those tens of thousands of people are fake? Is he bluffing? Yang Ping asked with a frown.

"Tens of thousands of people are true, but whether it is a bluff or not can only be determined after today!" Xu Huang turned over and explained with a smile.

In fact, Yang Ping is not qualified to ask such a question, but he is a relative of Yang Feng, and Xu Huang doesn't care about this, as long as he doesn't make a stumbling block for himself, he can win this battle, and everything else is easy to say.

The two camps were only five miles apart, and there was movement here, and the guard tower on Chen Mo's side saw it clearly, and the alarm immediately sounded.

"Lord, now that the morale of our army is not strong, we must not touch it." A general persuaded.

"It is precisely because of this that Fang can't hold out, tens of thousands of troops are so frightened by the other party's 2,000 men and horses that they don't dare to advance, I'm afraid that tomorrow, these people will directly turn around and besiege Qi County!" Chen Mo waved his hand and said: "Cheng Fang, in a while, you will lead a thousand archers to line up in the rear formation, and tell the soldiers, together with the sound of drums, immediately shoot arrows at the maximum angle in front, don't worry about the rest, but the arrows must be shot together!" ”

"Whoa!" The general named Cheng Fang was a lieutenant recently promoted by Chen Mo, who was quite capable and responded to orders when he heard his words.

"Lord, do the soldiers and horses in the front row need to pretend?" Dian Wei looked at Chen Mo and said curiously.

"In front of those who really understand the art of war, they can't pretend to be able to do it, and they have to take care of the front row of soldiers and horses for a while, so that they can stand as chaotic as they are." Chen Mo shook his head, in front of the two armies, in front of those who really understand the art of war, they can't pretend.

Dian Wei didn't figure it out, but Chen Mo said so, so just do it.

At the moment, Chen Mo brought two thousand soldiers and horses out of the camp, before Xu Huang arrived, the archers in the back row had already lined up in formation, but the soldiers in the front row were sparse, not that there was no formation, but at a glance it could be seen that this was carried by different generals, and the formation was quite scattered.

Although the generals didn't know why, since Chen Mo had already given the order, they naturally recruited them, and for a while, Chen Mo was in a mess in front of the battle, and there was even a little noise.

Xu Huang came to the front of the formation with the people and horses, and when he saw the chaos in front of Chen Mo's formation, his brows couldn't help frowning slightly.

"General, the other party is just a rabble, and it is time to take the opportunity to rush into battle!" One of the generals said excitedly.

Xu Huang looked at the Chen Ziqi, his brows furrowed slightly, although he thought that Chen Mo might be bluffing, but he didn't think that it would be so messy, and Chen Mo has a lot of reputation over the years, and whether it was the previous Xiaxiangling and Pingyang, forcing Yang County to mess up, or this time taking advantage of the big wedding to raid Zhongdu and Qi County, forcing Hu Cai to surrender and kill Li Le, they all showed a good strategy, even if his subordinates were a group of rabble, it shouldn't be like this.

Hesitation was only for a moment, at this time, Xu Huang couldn't show his timidity, nodded at the moment, nodded at the two generals and said: "You two lead the headquarters to charge into battle, remember to be careful!" ”

"Whoa!" The two generals were a little unimpressed, such a formation, with the original Yellow Turban Army, they could still lose? Immediately, he led the army to attack the enemy's position.

"The generals will obey!" On the other side, Chen Mo saw that the other party sent someone to test it, so he naturally knew what Xu Huang meant, and said to the generals: "Later, the drums will beat together, you don't need to take care of the formation, except for the square, you only need to lead the troops and horses of the headquarters to rush forward!" ”

"Whoa!" When the generals heard this, they received their orders.

Seeing that the opponent's soldiers and horses had already rushed into the range of the bow and arrow, Chen Mo's raised arm slashed fiercely: "Ring the drum!" ”

"Knock knock~"

In the passionate drumming, Cheng Fang, who had already been prepared, immediately ordered, and a rain of arrows swept the ground, fiercely falling down, causing the other party's original rainbow-like morale to stagnate, followed by the people of each department listened to Chen Mo's order, and no matter what formation, he only led the people of the headquarters to rush forward.

The soldiers and horses sent by Xu Huang to test first ate a wave of arrow rain, followed by the other party's originally scattered, like a rabble of soldiers suddenly changed, howling and rushing over, not necessarily how elite, but at least not a rabble, and the expectation in the heart is very different, under this contrast, the other party's level is naturally raised in the heart, plus that wave of arrow rain disrupted the formation, at this moment seeing the other party's whole army charged, the heart was timid, many soldiers have begun to turn around and escape.

On this battlefield, what is fighting is morale, and the morale of the other side suddenly seems to skyrocket, but deserters begin to appear on their own side.

Seeing this, Xu Huang hurriedly ordered the archers to shoot at the position, Chen Mo did not chase after him, and after seeing that the other party's tentative soldiers and horses were repulsed, he immediately ordered the front army to stop the formation, and at the same time, the archers in the back row marched forward under the command of Cheng Fang.

Across the front army, Xu Huang couldn't see the reality of the other party clearly, but the slow and neat pace brought great pressure, Xu Huang didn't want to lose too many soldiers and horses, and was worried that the other party still had arrangements, so he had to withdraw his troops......
