Chapter 453: Battle Fancheng

"Teacher's action is really extraordinary. Zhuge Liang's carefully deployed defense line was just broken!" Li Qiu and Jiangdong Camp followed Chen Mo across the river after tearing Zhuge Liang's first line of defense to pieces, and the atmosphere changed.

Zi became depressed and nervous. Cao Ang sat with Zhou Yu and couldn't help but sigh.

"Zixiu, you still call him teacher!?" Cao Xiu on the side couldn't bear it. After all, the Cao family and Chen Mo are now in a life-or-death feud.

"This is a fact. Although I did not have all my skills taught by him, I owe the talent and learning I have today to him." Cao Ang shook his head, poured a bowl of water for Zhou Yu and said: "We are enemies, but master and disciple.

The status has been decided for many years."

Zhou Yu nodded and said: "It is really difficult to grasp the reality between reality and reality. We wanted him to come to Fancheng for a decisive battle according to our wishes. He followed the trend and made us think he came to Fancheng. Who knows his goal

But it's the other side, but does Zixiu know why he didn't take advantage of the situation and attack Xiangyang?"

"Probably after seeing the formation set up by Mr. Kong Ming, the Nan'an defense line was broken because it was too long. There was no problem with Mr. Kong Ming's arrangement, but it lacked sufficient troops. What Master Chen is best at is using his own strengths to attack

The enemy is weak, but after breaking this line of defense, the Governor of Xiangyang has also seen the terrain. The terrain is dangerous, and it is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Mr. Kong Ming set up several villages outside the city. The placement seems ordinary, but it is actually consistent with mathematics.

Master Chen is also a person who is proficient in mathematics and science. As long as he has seen Mr. Kong Ming's things, he must know that if he wants to break them, he can only use human life to supplement them. Master Chen obviously does not want to do this, so he only uses military force to contain them, and he is here

When we cross the river, the situation is slightly different. Xiangyang cannot fully support Fancheng. Although Fancheng is also difficult to defeat at this time, it is several points weaker than before." Cao Ang had a thorough understanding of the current situation, but he was also right.

Because of this, I became more and more in awe of Chen Mo.

Not only Chen Mo's ability, but more importantly Chen Mo's decisiveness. After finding that Xiangyang was difficult to attack, he quickly turned back to Fancheng without giving them any chance to adapt. There were not as many calculations in the battle of the Central Plains as there are now. After all,

At that time, the terrain of the Central Plains did not allow for so many strategies.

At the beginning, Xia Houyuan's thousands-mile attack at the foot of Jiwu Mountain was the biggest variable. Unfortunately, Chen Mo's situation was already established and Cao's army was extremely weak. In the end, Xia Houyuan's amazing battle failed to turn the tide and was quickly resolved by Chen Mo. Thinking about it now,

Chen Mo's decisive decision at that time was the key to victory or defeat. Even if he hesitated for a moment, the current situation might have a different outcome.

"Is Zixiu confident that he can win?" Zhou Yu nodded and looked at Cao Ang and asked.

"I'm afraid that no one in the world dares to say that he will win when facing Master Chen. All Ang can do is try his best!" Cao Ang said solemnly.

"Woooooo~"

The faint sound of trumpets came from outside the tent, causing the expressions of Cao Ang and Zhou Yu who were talking to change. This was not the sound of horns from them or the Jingzhou Army, and apart from the Jiangdong Army and the Jingzhou Army, only the Ming Army was left here.

Already.

"So fast?" Zhou Yu and Cao Ang stood up at the same time, looking solemnly at the outside of the tent.

"Report~" At this time, a sentry rushed over and bowed to the two of them: "Commander, General, Ming Army General Xu Huang led his army to attack Fancheng, and has now reached the outside of the city."

"Explore again!" Cao Ang waved his hand and said.

"Here!" The scout bowed and left quickly.

"I'll go and have a look!" Zhou Yu said solemnly. He had not fought against the Ming army once or twice when he was in Hefei, but this was definitely the first time he faced off against Chen Mo in person. It was embarrassing to say that he had fought against them before.

They are both Chen Mo's sons, and they were set up together. This has always made Zhou Yu a little bit resentful. Now it's time to see what Chen Mo is capable of.

"That's what I meant!" Cao Ang nodded, so that if something goes wrong, Jiangdong's army can rush to help in time.

In fact, the biggest problem is here. No matter how Chen Mo divides his troops, all troops are under his control. Although the coalition forces have a good location and a lot of troops, they are two families after all. If something happens,

They will support each other, but it will be difficult to coordinate.

There are few soldiers here now. In fact, the defense of the two cities of Xiangfan is the best. The two of them have a total of 80,000 troops. If they only defend the two cities of Xiangfan, the chance of winning will be much greater. Now there is an extra Liqiu camp, which seems to be the same as Fancheng.

They are like each other's horns, but in fact they are a bit redundant. They are truly integrated into one. With 80,000 people and Zhuge Liang's arrangements for so many years, I am afraid that even Chen Mo's face and Zhuge Liang's first line of defense cannot be broken.

But just as Zhuge Liang couldn't trust them to enter the city, they couldn't trust Zhuge Liang for unified control. After all, Liu Bei and Sun Quan were from two different families, and Liu Bei also joined Sun Quan this time. Both sides were forced by Chen Mo.

They only joined forces under pressure. If it weren't for Chen Mo, Zhou Yu would definitely not mind swallowing Jingzhou whole while Liu Bei was in Sichuan.

To put it another way, it is impossible for Zhuge Liang to hand over the command to Zhou Yu to lead the troops. In that case, even if the battle is over, it will be unclear who owns Jingzhou.

Cooperate with each other, but are suspicious of each other. This is probably the real reason why the eighteen princes gathered troops from various towns in the Central Plains and failed to defeat Dong Zhuo. Now it is just two princes joining forces, and the leaders are the top commanders and counselors in the world, and they can even cooperate with each other.

With calculations and fears, it is difficult to imagine what the eighteen princes would have looked like back then. Even if Cao Cao was among them, it would be difficult for a man of insight like Zang Hong to truly unite their hearts.

The two led a group of troops and quickly arrived outside Fancheng. They saw two groups of troops fighting outside the city.

Zhou Yu and Cao Ang narrowed their eyes slightly, but Cao Xiu frowned and said: "It's strange, how come the Jingzhou army dares to go out of the city to fight with so few troops?"

Zhou Yu and Cao Ang didn't say anything, they just watched quietly.

But above Fan City, the sound of crossbows was loud, and below Fan City, the city gate was opened wide, and a Jingzhou Army of about 2,000 people came out. The Ming Army on the opposite side also separated a group of troops to fight, and the two sides' positions were not yet opposite.

, he had already taken action, and for a while, rocks were falling like rain, and blood flowed all over the ground.

"Strange, Fancheng's city defense ballistae is more than these." Cao Xiu frowned as he watched the battle situation.

Now the soldiers of the Ming army have reached the bottom of the city and have already entered the range of the opponent's ballistae. However, the ballistae at the top of the city is not in a hurry. Cao Xiu has been to Fancheng, so he naturally knows how well prepared Zhuge Liang is. Now this

The scale is not there at all.

Zhou Yu didn't say much, but Cao Ang on the side narrowed his eyes and said: "Obviously I'm trying to lure the enemy, but there are not many soldiers and horses in Xiangyang. Even if we lure some of them out at this time, it's not necessary. Even if the Ming army suffered heavy losses, but

The Jingzhou army also suffered a lot of losses. This is the above-mentioned method of replacing injuries. Mr. Zhuge will definitely not do this. I am afraid there is some conspiracy here."

Zhou Yu nodded and said nothing.

As the war continued, the Jingzhou Army was somewhat outmatched and began to retreat. At this moment, another Jingzhou Army came out from the city gate. These Jingzhou Army did not carry swords and guns, but just rushed out with a crossbow and went into battle.

Then there was a burst of fierce fire in the direction of the Ming army. The crossbow arrows were quite powerful and could fire ten arrows in a row. As soon as they appeared, they killed the Ming army who had already gained the upper hand and started to flee in panic.

"Boom~"

At this moment, the ground trembled, and a group of cavalry suddenly rushed out from the flank and came straight towards the opponent's crossbowmen. The timing was right for these crossbowmen to finish shooting their arrows and retreat to start reloading. Obviously, this time

The purpose of the cavalry is these crossbowmen.

I see!

Zhou Yu and Cao Ang suddenly realized that Zhuge Liang was obviously planning this cavalry. They had had a battle with Ma Chao before. They knew very well that even after being trained by the generals of the Cao family, the Jiangdong Army's infantry combat level had been greatly improved.

This cavalry has no chance of winning. This cavalry poses too great a threat to the Sun-Liu coalition, and it comes and goes like the wind. Zhuge Liang obviously wants to lure these cavalry out and catch them all, and now it seems that he will succeed.

.

Despite Zhou Yu and Cao Ang's mentality, they couldn't help but feel a little excited at this moment. If Chen Mo's cavalry could be defeated, it would definitely be good news for the coalition forces.

However, the Ming army cavalry was really fierce. After rushing forward in an instant, they broke into the formation without giving the crossbowmen a chance to attack. They swept back and forth and instantly disintegrated the crossbowmen. These crossbowmen attacked.

It is extremely powerful and can defeat a powerful Ming army in an instant, but its weakness is also obvious. Once it gets close, it lacks the means to protect itself.

The Jingzhou Army who was chasing the defeated army in front quickly returned to support and protected the crossbowmen as they retreated into the city. Just as the Ming Army cavalry was about to catch up, there was a sudden loud noise on top of the city, and the crossbows were fired. In an instant, arrows and cannons were like raindrops.

Erban fell towards the Ming cavalry and suffered heavy losses.

At this moment, there was another cannon shot in Fancheng, followed by a group of men and horses, charging fiercely towards the defeated cavalry who were killed by the crossbows.

The cavalry was obviously unable to resist and was retreating steadily. However, the Jingzhou Army became more and more courageous as they fought and pursued them closely, as if they wanted to swallow the cavalry completely.

At this moment, a trumpet sounded in the Ming army formation, and another cavalry came out. Whether it was Zhuge Liang who was directing the battle or Zhou Yu who was watching the battle, Cao Ang's expression changed.

If the two cavalry were taken out separately, you might not see any difference, but now on the battlefield, the feeling is very different. Although the previous cavalry was good, it was a little less evil, and now this

Although there are not many cavalry, the charge gives people a feeling that the sky is falling and the earth is falling. It seems that Fancheng is about to be crushed by this cavalry, which has the potential to swallow up mountains and rivers.

It sounds complicated, but in fact it only lasted a moment, but in this moment, this newly appeared cavalry had completed its final charge, rushing like a savage giant beast into the Jingzhou army that had no time to retreat. It was just a

The impact caused the Jingzhou army to be defeated and was directly penetrated by this cavalry.

On the top of the city, Zhuge Liang signaled the soldiers to hold off on firing, hoping to wait for the cavalry to pursue the defeated army. The old trick was repeated and he was severely damaged, but the enemy did not pursue him. He defeated the Jingzhou army and quickly withdrew from the battlefield. Zhuge Liang
