On the bank of the Han River, the fire in the camp has been extinguished, and the Jingzhou army has retreated, with Wei Yan, Zhang Xiu and Xu Huang crossing the river, the defense line on the bank of the river has been completely torn apart by Chen Mo.

Zhang He ordered people to start cleaning up the battlefield, although the Jingzhou army retreated, but the Ming army won this battle, but he lost, which made Zhang He a little depressed.

"You don't have to be discouraged, if you hadn't contained the main force of the Jingzhou army, our army would not have broken the enemy so calmly, get up." Chen Mo helped Zhang He up, looked at the camp in front of him that had been reduced to ruins, and frowned, this Zhuge Liang learns things quite quickly.

The battle was won, but Xiangyang was not captured, and it could only be regarded as a small victory, Chen Mo sent scout sentries to explore the surrounding terrain and the traces of the enemy, and ordered someone to send the captured repeater.

Chen Mo, the Jingzhou army's ten-consecutive crossbow, has been greedy for several days, if the army can be equipped with such weapons, for the Ming army, there can be a qualitative leap in combat power, Chen Mo naturally hopes that Ma Jun can imitate it.

The captured repeater crossbow was not the kind of soldier who held it, but Zhang He captured it after capturing the battery, before Zhuge Liang set fire to the camp, Zhang He's side, Ma Jun took the craftsman to dismantle the next one desperately.

"It's not for the military." Looking at this crossbow cart, Chen Mo frowned, compared to this, he wanted the crossbow used by the officers and soldiers of the Jingzhou Army that day, which could be used by individual soldiers.

"Your Majesty, although it is not a repeater, the principle of this machine should be similar, and the minister may be able to make such a repeater." Ma Jun has already dismantled this crossbow car before, and the principle is already clear, and now he can't wait to imitate or even transform it.

"As soon as possible." Chen Mo nodded, with the appearance of the ten crossbows, Chen Mo felt that the previous powerful army-breaking crossbows were a little outdated, and the cost of the army-breaking crossbows was also quite expensive, if the cost of both sides was about the same, Chen Mo felt that it was not bad to replace part of the army-breaking crossbows with this crossbow, this thing was generally powerful in attacking the city, but if it was used to defend the city, the power was considerable, and setting up this kind of crossbow in some fortresses was enough to save a lot of troops.

"Whoa!" Ma Jun agreed with some excitement and asked people to leave with the crossbow cart.

The camp was burned, but now that the south bank has been broken by Chen Mo's authority, and the army has crossed the river, this camp will naturally be re-established.

Chen Mo ordered Zhang He to go down to the village again, echoing with Zhang Liao's main army on the west bank to the north and south, and he took Dian Wei, Wei Yan and a group of personal guards to inspect the surroundings and observe the terrain.

Although Chen Mo landed on the south bank, the terrain of Xiangyang is by the mountains and rivers, outside the city of Xiangyang, the east is the Han River, and the west has Wanshan, Baizhang Mountain, Tiger Mountain, Da Xian Mountain and other high mountains to rely on, although it is not as dangerous as Kungang, but Xiangyang City is here, there is a great momentum of being a man when the pass is not open, and the strength advantage of the Ming army can not be exerted here.

And Zhuge Liang actually set up three fortifications in the short distance of 20 miles from the river bank to Xiangyang, and built an acropolis, and the Ming army wanted to attack Xiangyang City, unless the army could fly, otherwise it could only break through layer by layer in the unfavorable terrain and remove all these barriers that Zhuge Liang set up outside the city, so as to contact Xiangyang City.

And Chen Mo led the crowd around the circle, and found that on the top of the mountains in Xiangyang, Zhuge Liang had also set up secret posts, if it weren't for Chen Mo with his personal guards, he might have suffered.

"This Zhuge Kongming is really meticulous, and he has thought of everything he can think of." Chen Mo couldn't help but praise.

Whether it is the defense line on the river bank, or the secret posts of these camps after crossing the river, Zhuge Liang has thought of almost all the places that can be thought of, if it were not for the lack of troops, Chen Mo may not even be able to cross the river at this moment, although he is an enemy, but Chen Mo also has a little admiration for this wise man.

"Hey, a dignified man, with so much thought like a woman, your majesty, I think that Zhuge Liang probably looks like a girl!" Dian Wei couldn't help but scold, they patrolled all the way and encountered a lot of Jingzhou army secret posts, which made Dian Wei extremely annoyed.

Chen Mo turned his head to look at Dian Wei and didn't speak.

Dian Wei coughed lightly and said, "Your Majesty, the last general is not talking about you. ”

Chen Mo led everyone to bypass the Jingzhou army's sentry post on the top of the mountain, and then marched westward, wanting to see if he could bypass these mountains and attack Xiangyang from the rear, but when Chen Mo arrived, he saw that there was already a large camp there, and obviously Zhuge Liang had also calculated this.

Tut~

Looking at the layout of the military camp under the mountain, Chen Mo silently estimated in his heart, and gave up the plan to attack behind the enemy, even if he could break through, not to mention the price paid, in terms of time, it was enough for Zhuge Liang to be prepared, not to mention that Chen Mo didn't know if there was also an arrangement on the other side of Xiangyang, Zhuge Liang's main defense was that he was not fake, but Chen Mo didn't believe that he would not guard against Jiangdong at all.

Now Chen Mo seems to understand how he felt about the generals who were on Yu Sheng in the past, but Zhuge Liang is more delicate than Yu Sheng, not to say character, but some things, Yu Sheng is really not as good as Zhuge Liang, such as the overall planning and layout, the study of the terrain, anyway, after seeing Zhuge Liang's layout, the first feeling is delicate, and the second feeling is exquisite, the military camp is laid according to the Qimen gossip, and the bright posts and secret posts on this mountain are also secretly combined for several miles, and even the riverside artillery that has been breached, That's the best location that has been carefully calculated.

Yu Sheng only needs to be practical, and Zhuge Liang seems to pay attention to beauty and practicality, this is a person who pursues perfection, Chen Mo can't say whether it's right or wrong, this is an attitude towards things, no wonder Dian Wei gave the other party such an evaluation, don't say it's quite accurate.

"Your Majesty, don't you want to see it?" Dian Wei saw that the road was going back, and he was a little surprised, in the past, Chen Mo observed the terrain and enemy formation, and he would be very careful, and it was common to run for three days, but this time, it was less than half a day to go back, could it be that Zhuge Liang couldn't do it?

"I've watched everything I need to see, there's no need to watch it again." Chen Mo shook his head, Zhuge Liang had already taken all aspects into account to the extreme, if it weren't for Chen Mo's advantage in more troops this time, it would be a question of whether he could break the defense line on the river bank.

"I'll just say, then Zhuge Liang was said to be divine by this Jingxiang scholar, it's not useless." Dian Wei grinned.

"If you can have one of his tenths, I can rest assured that you will lead the troops alone!" Chen Mo glanced at Dian Wei when he heard this, shook his head and sighed, it's not that people are useless, but he has done what he can to the extreme, whether it is the Jiangxin Copper Pillar or the joint defense of mountains and rivers, almost everything, except for the strong attack, Chen Mo can no longer find any other way, even if he can find a flaw now, Chen Mo doesn't dare to use it, he suspects that Zhuge Liang deliberately showed it to him, such an opponent, terrible, but respectable.

"I ......" Dian Wei looked at Chen Mo a little dumbfounded, although he was not good at leading troops to fight, he was not so bad, right? At least these 400 people's personal guards Dian Wei felt that he was leading well, if it was really like what Chen Mo said, then wouldn't Zhuge Liang be able to lead 40,000 horses? In this way, it doesn't seem to be anything powerful, his own king has commanded a campaign of 100,000 people, Cao Cao has also commanded, and it is common for those more famous generals in the army to bring 40,000 or 50,000 soldiers and horses.

Thinking of this, Dian Wei couldn't help but say: "It's just 40,000 soldiers and horses, what is it that the commander is better than me?" If you have the ability, he's coming to fight me one-on-one! ”

Forty thousand?

Chen Mo looked at Dian Wei in surprise, he didn't know how many soldiers Zhuge Liang could bring, how did this product be calculated?

Immediately, it was a reaction, one percent of one percent, isn't it a hundred times that of Dian Wei if you push it back?

"You're accurate enough." Chen Mo didn't know what to say about it, not to mention it, he just said it casually, even if it was true, he also commanded 40,000 people, and there were differences between people, not to mention that such a thing as commanding troops to fight a war could be calculated in such a simple way?

"That's ~" Dian Wei laughed.

"Let's go." Chen Mo didn't pay attention to him anymore, this thing, if you want to be reasonable, you can't talk about it, and now take everyone back to the camp, Zhang He's side has rebuilt the camp, when Chen Mo returned to the camp, Zhang He was discussing the battle strategy, and when he saw Chen Mo coming back, he hurriedly welcomed Chen Mo into the camp.

"Woo Woo!" Chen Mo knelt behind the handsome case and looked at Zhang Hedao.

"The last general!" Zhang He hurriedly got up.

"Today, I look at the defense of Xiangyang, and there is no other way to think of it except for a strong attack." Chen Mo looked at Zhang He and said: "Zhuge Liang is indeed a genius, the next battle of Xiangfan, mainly to attack Fancheng, I will cross the river to the other side, preside over the battle, you are the commander here, preside over the battle here, I will leave 20,000 soldiers and horses here, but don't move easily, the terrain here is dangerous, if the Jingzhou army comes to provoke, it can be repulsed, it must not be pursued, if you send troops to attack, don't think of any strategy, step by step, and suppress it with the general momentum." ”

In this way, it obviously restricts a lot of Zhang He's autonomy, for the commander, this is a sign of distrust, if it was in the past, Chen Mo would not have given this kind of order, but after seeing Zhuge Liang's arrangement, Chen Mo felt that it was better to be careful.

"In short, you must be cautious when dealing with this person, and if you are a little careless, you may be calculated by him." Chen Mo saw that the generals looked puzzled, and sighed.

"Lord, is this Zhuge Kongming really so powerful?" Wei Yan couldn't help but ask.

"You can go and watch the enemy formation these days." Chen Mo nodded, this is an opponent worth facing seriously, Zhuge Liang has something that neither he nor Cao Cao has, and if he is not careful, he may have to be countered by the other party if he is not careful.

"The last general commands!" Zhang He didn't have any rejection, after all, he had just been defeated for a while, there was nothing to say, he was going to wait for tomorrow to see in person, so that a cautious person like Chen Mo could only seem to be Cao Cao in Zhang He's memory.
