Chapter 24 After the Break

The next day, it was already three o'clock in the morning. After breakfast, Yang Ping quickly mobilized his troops and horses out of the camp. There were 5,000 troops and horses. Some of them were lost before. Yang Ping left 500 men to guard the camp and brought 4,000 troops out of the camp.

Prepare to fight to the death with Chen Mo.

"General, there are too few troops guarding the camp!" Xu Huang frowned and looked at Yang Ping. With such a desperate move, it would be easy to win, but if he loses, there will be no way to retreat. Xu Huang's plan of encirclement on three sides will be destroyed.

collapse.

"Is Gongming teaching me how to fight?" Yang Ping sat on the horse and glanced sideways at Xu Huang, questioning with a touch of disdain and condescension.

"I don't dare, but if we lose this battle, our army may have no way to retreat!" Xu Huang frowned.

"Ha~" Yang Ping shook his head and said: "No wonder Gongming was defeated by Chen Mo several times, so he had to fight with all his strength, just like in the past when King Xiang burned the cauldron and Han Xin fought against the water. Our army's strength is already small. If we are all as timid as you,

How can we win the war?"

Xu Huang frowned even more when he heard this. What makes you think you can compare with Xiang Yu and Han Xin? And in this kind of battle, people don't rush forward without the slightest plan, right?

He wanted to persuade him again, but Yang Ping would never pay attention to him again, and sneered: "Is it possible that Gongming has lost two games in a row and is worried that my general will defeat Chen Mo?"

Xu Huang felt his heart pounding and retreated silently without saying a word. After all, he was an outsider after all. He was the one who supported the family. If Yang Ping didn't listen to good advice, what did it have to do with Xu Huang?

Even so, the faint feeling of powerlessness made Xu Huang feel uncomfortable. He had seen through Chen Mo's plan, but Chen Mo was not plotting against him, but Yang Ping and Yang Feng. The feeling of knowing the other party's intentions but being powerless was really

It makes people uncomfortable.

"Go to Chen Mo's camp and ask, it's already past breakfast, why haven't you come to fight?" Yang Ping waited in front of the two armies for a long time, feeling numb between the two armies, but the opposite camp did not show up to fight.

After getting ready, he got a little impatient and waved his hand and ordered a soldier to shout outside Chen Mo's camp. What did Chen Mo mean by this?

The general took the order, ran away, and soon came back. He saluted Yang Ping and said: "General, the generals in the Hedong military camp said that they only said it was after breakfast, but they did not say when.

, the army is being organized in the camp, I hope the general will wait a moment."

"What do you mean?" Yang Ping said angrily, "Are you kidding me?"

Xu Huang sighed and said: "Chen Mo did only say after breakfast, but he didn't say the specific time. The other party did not breach the contract."

"Then what should I do? Do I have to wait here forever?" Yang Ping asked dissatisfied.

Xu Huang didn't say anything more. At present, it seems that unless Yang Ping breaks his promise, this is really the only way to do it.

By retreating rashly, Yang Ping would lose all the momentum he wanted. Yang Ping also knew this truth. Even if he knew that Chen Mo was playing a trick on him, he could only continue to wait.

On the other side, Chen Mo's camp stood on the archery tower and looked at the army in the distance. Chen Mo broke off the corn cakes in his hands and kept throwing them into his mouth. He looked at the direction of the sun from time to time. It was almost early summer, although the sun was not too strong.

, but it will still feel uncomfortable after being exposed to the sun for a long time.

"My lord, is it really going to be noon?" Cui Geng and Bao Geng came to Chen Mo and said, "The soldiers have finished their breakfast and can go out at any time."

"Let the soldiers eat and drink first, and then leave the camp when they are ready, Bao Geng." Chen Mo nodded.

"The general is here!" Bao Geng stepped forward quickly and said.

"Look, the enemy has many soldiers and horses, but there should not be many defenders in the camp. Don't lead the cavalry into the battle later. When you lead the two armies to fight, surround the enemy's rear and wait for an opportunity to break into the enemy camp. Once you get in, don't worry about anything else.

Just set fire to the camp." It was a bit far away, and Chen Mo couldn't tell how many people there were on the other side, but there should be quite a few.

"The last general will take your orders!" Bao Geng agreed.

"Cui Geng, after the war begins, I will let Cheng Fang and you each lead an army to outflank the other side from both wings, giving full play to the advantage of our army's strength. If the other side also fully faces the enemy, I will lead the main force of the Chinese army to break through from the center.

, if the opponent does not divide their troops, then you two will lead the troops to outflank them from both wings. Remember, don’t try to outflank them to death. Let them have a way out and not have any intention of fighting to the death." Chen Mo said to Cui Geng again.

"Don't worry, my lord!" Cui Geng nodded, he knew this common sense of the art of war.

As time went by, the sun gradually became hot, and Yang Ping's originally neat formation began to become a little chaotic, while Chen Mo kept counting the time. When it was about noon, Chen Mo looked at the sun and looked at Dian Wei.

He smiled and said: "The time has come, sound the drums and send out the troops!"

"Here!" Dian Wei nodded, picked up the drumstick on the drum stand, and struck the war drum. Then, other drum beaters in the military camp quickly stood up and started beating the drum.

Amidst the rumbling war drums, all four doors of Chen Mo's camp opened, and groups of people quickly walked out of the camp from the camp. People who are careful will find that the soldiers under Chen Mo are now moving much faster than they were in the past few days. Cui Geng and Cheng

Each side led two thousand soldiers and horses scattered on the two wings. Chen Mo and Dian Wei led the central army out of the main gate and quickly formed an array in front of the camp.

Yang Ping and others had been waiting all morning and were already upset and angry. Now when they saw Chen Mo sending troops, they couldn't help but be overjoyed and shouted sternly: "The three armies are preparing for war!"

Chen Mo's army did not specifically organize the army. After Chen Mo left the camp, he began to move slowly in this direction. On the way, groups of people began to quickly form formations according to the queues that had been arranged. It was chaotic at first sight, but as the two armies approached, Chen Mo

The formation here is getting more and more orderly.

Xu Huang saw clearly in the army and secretly marveled in his heart. Three days ago, Chen Mo's army was not so well-trained. This was certainly due to the fact that Chen Mo was good at training troops, but more importantly, Chen Mo defeated him twice in a row. In these

The miscellaneous army has gradually established its prestige, and the scene in front of them can also be seen as a manifestation of the cohesion of the military's morale.

At this moment, Xu Huang suddenly asked Yang Ping to withdraw his troops. Although it only lasted three days, the troops under Chen Mo were already as good as his own. If he treated the other side as a mob at this moment, he was sure to suffer losses.

What's more, the soldiers had been waiting for a long time. Many of them had been exhausted by the sun and wind. It would be absolutely unfavorable for their own side to start a war at this time. The picture of defeat had already appeared in Xu Huang's mind.

However, the three armies had moved at this time, and he was no longer in charge of the army. After hesitating for a moment, Xu Huang still wanted to save the situation, and saluted Yang Ping: "General, Chen Mo used a trick to make our army stand here for half a day. Soldiers

Our physical strength is already low, and if we start a war now, we may not be able to escape defeat, so why not go back to camp to repair and think about countermeasures!"

"Xu Huang!" Yang Ping's face darkened, and he looked at Xu Huang solemnly and said, "If you dare to disturb the morale of our army again, I will chop off your sacrificial flag first!"

Xu Huang sighed and said nothing more.

The two armies continued to approach. Yang Ping watched Chen Mo's two wings begin to approach him, and coldly snorted: "Make a circular formation, archers are ready!"

"Bows and arrows!" Chen Mo estimated that the distance between the two sides was almost the same. With a wave of his hand, the archers in the back row quickly rushed out of the formation, bows and arrows drawn, and the cold arrows pointed at the sky.

"put!"

"put!"

Chen Mo and Yang Ping gave orders almost at the same time, and rows of arrows flew up from the ground, intertwining into a dense rain of arrows in the air. After a brief intersection, they fell from the air towards both camps with a death scream.

"Bang bang bang bang~"

Amidst the dense muffled sound, many arrow clusters falling down penetrated the wooden shields, and casualties began to appear on both sides.

"Continue!" Chen Mo ignored his own casualties. Once the war started, casualties were inevitable. Chen Mo would not be soft-hearted because of this. Even if someone dared to retreat at this time, the cold blades of the supervising team would not hesitate.

Cut off.

The arrow clusters met one after another, but by the third time, it was obvious that most of the opponent's range could not cover Chen Mo's army, but the archers on Chen Mo's side were still able to shoot the arrow clusters towards the opponent's camp relatively easily.

The difference in physical strength began to appear. What was even worse was that the opponent's archers were facing the sun at the moment. The dazzling light made it difficult for many people to calibrate. The damage to Yang Ping's army began to increase. On Chen Mo's side, the casualties continued to decrease.

.

After four rounds of arrow rain, Chen Mo saw that it was difficult for the opponent's archers to reach here anymore, so he immediately ordered: "Encircle the two wings, and the Chinese army will attack!"

The sound of the drums suddenly became passionate, and at the same time, the flag officer standing on the well quickly shouted the flag. Cheng Fang and Cui Geng on both wings quickly commanded the soldiers and horses on the two wings to start closing towards the center.

Yang Ping was a little panicked. He found that many soldiers were weakly kneeling on the ground. No matter how hard the generals beat and scolded them, they could not stand up. Before the battle started, some people on his side began to kneel. This was nothing.

It was a good sign. Seeing Chen Mo's soldiers and horses coming from all directions, Yang Ping mustered up his courage and shouted sternly: "The thieves are nothing more than a mob. All officers and men, follow me and kill!"

"kill!"

The killing cry of four thousand people gave people a sense of powerlessness. Chen Mo's Chinese army had already rushed forward. The two armies were fighting. A scene that was unacceptable to Yang Ping appeared. His own soldiers were defeated at the first opportunity. On the other hand, Chen Mo's troops

The soldiers were extremely brave.

How could this be!?

Yang Ping couldn't understand, and he didn't have any extra time to think about it at the moment. The generals had already begun to flee, and the enemy troops encircling them from both sides also began to encircle them from both sides. Several generals pulled Yang Ping and said: "General, retreat quickly!"

Yang Ping gritted his teeth: "The enemy has already arrived, how can we retreat now?"

Xu Huang sat on the horse and used a big ax to create wind. The enemy soldiers he killed wherever he passed turned their backs on their backs. He rushed to Yang Ping's side covered in blood and said in a deep voice: "General, retreat first. The last general is willing to be a general."

After the break!"

"Gongming, I..." Yang Ping looked at Xu Huang, feeling a little ashamed, but more of a feeling of relief, silently nodded and said: "Withdraw!"

Xu Huang looked at the direction Yang Ping was leaving, sighed, and began to direct the soldiers around him to gather towards him. At the same time, he raised Yang Ping's general flag and shouted sternly at the surrounding soldiers: "Soldiers, follow me.

kill!"
