"Cheng Fang, you did a good job. You should be credited with being able to defeat the enemy today!" Returning to the camp, Chen Mo was in a good mood and smiled at Cheng Fang.

Cheng Fang was originally a military commander under Hu Cai, but his destiny was nearly ten points higher than that of ordinary military commanders. Chen Mo naturally did not promote people casually. Even if he did not know his background, he would select those with outstanding destiny from these grassroots generals.

If someone is promoted, this person's destiny far exceeds his position, so he naturally has his own unique talents.

"It's because my lord is well-organized and the general doesn't dare to be greedy for credit!" Cheng Fang was also a little excited. During this time, he also had some understanding of Chen Mo. Naturally, he was happy to be rewarded, but what was even more exciting was that his ability was recognized.

This is a feeling that I would never have had under Hu Cai in the past. Once this feeling comes, a sense of identity will naturally come.

"There is no need to be modest. The next battle still has to be fought. This battle cannot be fought by one person. It also depends on the help of all the soldiers!" Chen Mo smiled and asked someone to give the prepared reward, a fine iron long sword with a texture of

It's pretty good. In addition, there is also the official seal of the school captain. Although he was temporarily acting as the school captain before, he has not been officially appointed. This time, Cheng Fang is officially promoted to the school captain. Although there are only two people, but for

It's enough for Cheng Fang.

The other generals were a little envious. Although they were all promoted by Chen Mo, there was no situation like Cheng Fang who was promoted from a military prince to a captain. How long did it take?

"Cheng Fang was able to receive the reward because he was willing to train diligently. Everyone has seen the results on the battlefield. I believe that God rewards hard work, and capable people will not be buried under my command." Chen Mo said to attract everyone's attention.

He pulled back with force and said with a smile: "You are all selected by me personally. Your talents are worthy of being matched. As I just said, fighting is not the work of one person. I hope you can work with me to defeat the enemy!"

"The last general is willing to die in the service of our lord!" Regardless of whether it is sincere or not, at this moment, the heartbeat is inevitable. Li Le and Hu are clan-style warlords. No matter how capable they are, these recruited generals can do whatever they can.

It is not easy to become a military commander, but with Chen Mo, it may be possible to go further.

"Everyone returns to camp and reorganizes the troops. This battle has just begun." Chen Mo said with a smile.

"Here!" The generals bowed and left.

…

On the other side, after Xu Huang returned to the camp, he felt that something was wrong. If Chen Mo really had elites, why didn't he take the initiative to attack? He saw that he had intended to lure him into pursuit before? But when the opponent retreated, it seemed as if they were trying to maintain their formation. Obviously

Are you worried that if you pursue him, there might be some fraud involved?

Yang Ping strode in, frowned and looked at Xu Huang and said: "Gongming, this first battle has been frustrated and morale is low. How do you explain it to the lord?"

His tone was no longer as polite as before, Xu Huang frowned, stood up and said: "Victory and defeat are common matters for military officers. Today's battle is just to test the enemy's strength, and I have not been frustrated."

Carefully recalling the course of the day's battle, Xu Huang had already discovered some tricks. The opponent's subsequent attack was actually a bit messy. It was just that the rain of arrows came suddenly, and the performance before and after caused a gap in people's minds.

The opponent thought they were elites, but in reality, even if they were not a mob, they were no better. Chen Mo was good at cunning tactics. Now it seemed that what he said was true and he was clearly bluffing himself.

"Ha, we lost more than 300 people in the first battle. If you keep fighting like this, within ten days, our army will be exhausted by that Chen Mo." Yang Ping said disdainfully.

Xu Huang frowned and said, "I have my own plans, so I won't bother General Yang!"

"Then we have to wait and see how General Xu defeats the enemy!" Yang Ping snorted coldly and walked away.

Xu Huang rubbed his temples with a headache. Yang Ping was still in the way, but he couldn't do anything about him. After all, he was Yang Feng's clan brother and couldn't move. He should think about how to deal with Chen Mo tomorrow, right?

Xu Huang did not dare to look down upon Chen Mo, even if the opponent was just a ragtag group of people, but today's performance showed that this ragtag group could still exert considerable fighting power in Chen Mo's hands.

Early the next morning, Xu Huang once again led his troops to challenge. Standing on the camp gate, Chen Mo put up a pavilion with his hands and looked at the neatly arranged troops in the distance. Several cavalry generals were shouting in front of the formation. Chen Mo ignored these obscene remarks.

The cavalry commander looked at Xu Huang's formation behind him. The two thousand people seemed to be arranged in twenty square formations just like yesterday, but it was different from yesterday. The twenty square formations were lined up in a row, but they were not completely

In a straight line, he raised his eyebrows. Is this Xu Huang going to fight with me?

"This Xu Huang can't even form a formation!" Dian Wei stood next to Chen Mo and frowned.

"This is the Hunyuan Qi Formation. It seems simple, but it can be attacked and defended. The Hunyuan Yi is a very practical battle formation!" Chen Mo shook his head with a smile and explained to the generals.

"Then my lord, why don't you also set up a battle formation?" Dian Wei looked at Chen Mo and said.

"How can it be that easy?" Chen Mo shook his head and laughed: "This battle formation is set up by people. It has special flags and the sound of drums and trumpets can have the desired effect. The most powerful thing about this battle formation is that

It can be quickly changed according to occupation, and it can also keep the formation stable. It takes three to five months to set up a battle formation for training, and different generals exert different powers. Therefore, this battle formation is usually set up.

You get twice the result with half the effort, and those in the general military are enough."

"It's all fancy, but it turns out it's of no use at all?" Dian Wei curled his lips when he heard this. It sounded very profound, but it turned out to be of no use.

"It's not useless. This Hunyuan Qi formation is simple to set up. It can be regarded as a universal formation among various battle formations. It can be used by any general. It can be used wonderfully and has extraordinary power. But if there are just a few changes,

"It's not difficult to deal with, Bao Geng!" Chen Mo smiled and turned around.

"The general is here!" Bao Geng came to Chen Mo and bowed.

"You lead the cavalry to challenge the enemy. Remember, don't charge directly into the enemy's formation. Just run around and shoot around. I'll see how his formation changes." Chen Mo said with a smile.

"Here!" Bao Geng agreed, turned around and went down from the camp gate, ordered all the cavalry to leave the camp, and went straight towards Xu Huang's army.

cavalry?

Xu Huang saw a cavalry rushing out of the opponent's camp and frowned slightly. Did Chen Mo want to test the formation? He waved the command flag and the drums sounded. The battle formation that was originally lined up in a line began to shrink into a circular formation.

At the same time, the archers inside the formation began to draw their bows and set arrows, and only waited for Xu Huang's order to take action.

Chen Mo stood on the camp gate. He couldn't see the opponent's flags, but he could hear the sound of drums and trumpets clearly. Although Chen Mo was repelled by Qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, his teacher's bloody hands were unforgettable to this day.

It was a shadow in Chen Mo's heart, but it did not hinder his appreciation of music. Moreover, military commanders also used drums and trumpets. How could Chen Mo not understand.

On the battlefield, Bao Geng led his cavalry around Xu Huang's military formation. From time to time he tried to get closer, but was shot back with arrows. After several attempts, he could not get closer.

Several brief battles ended in failure, and dozens of cavalry were lost instead. Bao Geng was helpless. Drums were heard on Chen Mo's side. This was the sound of Chen Mo's army leaving the camp, and it also told Bao Geng that it was time to retreat.

.

"My lord, the general is incompetent!" Bao Geng came back with a dejected look on his face and saluted Chen Mo: "My lord, please punish me!"

"The opponent's formation is strict and the changes are rigorous. This is not your fault. Besides, it is a test. You just let the soldiers come back to rest." Chen Mo smiled and shook his head.

"Lord, the opponent's formation is a bit difficult to break!" Cheng Fang came to Chen Mo and bowed.

"It's not difficult to break. Just remember, when you hear the drums, go forward and retreat when the sound of gold is heard. Don't pay attention to other drum sounds!" Chen Mo smiled and said to Dian Wei on the side: "Go and call more drummers."

"Here!" Dian Wei was a little confused, but Li Ke went to deliver the order, and all the drummers among the generals were brought out.

On the other side, Xu Huang re-arranged his formation and looked at Chen Mo's army. A flash of excitement flashed in his eyes. Yesterday was a test, but today he has confirmed that Chen Mo's men are not just a ragtag group of people, but they are all improvised.

Soldiers, such an army is not difficult to defeat! Today, I may be able to defeat Chen Mo, a victorious general.

"Dong dong dong dong~" Here, Chen Mo ordered the drums to be sounded, and the soldiers of the three armies began to move forward slowly under the command of Cheng Fang and others. Chen Mo's order was very simple. Hear the drums, advance with the sound of gold, and retreat. The drums are too complicated.

These soldiers who have not undergone integrated training cannot understand it, so it is easier to command these people with simple orders.

"Lord, the drummers are here!" Dian Wei led a team of drummers to Chen Mo and bowed.

"Dian Wei, you lead my bodyguard to escort these drummers, and follow the soldiers to send troops. As soon as the other party plays the drum, you will beat the drum immediately." Chen Mo looked at Dian Wei and the drummers behind him and said.

"Lord, don't know how to play?" Several army musicians looked at Chen Mo and said.

"Knock randomly, the more chaotic the better, I want to disrupt the opponent's drumming, you can see the rest for yourselves!" Chen Mo looked at the slowly advancing troops and said with a smile.

"Here!" Several musicians were a little startled when they heard this. After beating war drums for so many years, this was the first time they encountered such an order. However, they understood what Chen Mo meant. They wanted to disrupt the other party's drum sound, so they each took the order.

Lead the drummer onto the drum cart and start conducting.

On the other side, Xu Huang saw the soldiers and horses here starting to advance. After carefully observing the formation, he was a little confused. Could it be that Chen Mo didn't even understand his own formation? If so, Xu Huang was a little disappointed.

"Start the formation!" Xu Huang looked cold and slowly raised his hand and shouted.

"Dong dong dong~wu~" The sound of drums and horns started at the same time, and almost at the same time, the drum sound sounded from the opponent's military formation: "Dong dong~dong~dong~"

In the chaos of Gu Shengzhong, Xu Huang's expression changed and he turned to look behind him. The originally rigorous formation suddenly became chaotic.

"Not good!" Xu Huang's face turned ugly. He never dreamed that the battle formation he had practiced so hard would be broken by Chen Mo in this way. He felt aggrieved, but had no choice but to look at the opponent's army slowly advancing.
