323. Plains Battle

The two armies had been in stalemate for a few days, but Liu Mao was not in a hurry, but Cen Peng could not bear it and led his army to attack. Liu Mao ordered the battalions not to fight and only fought back with strong bows and crossbows. Cen Peng was unable to attack the Han army camps and camps forcibly.

The next day, Cen Peng used 800 suicide squads as his vanguard, and then followed the army and advanced, conquering the Han army's captive general Chengguang camp in one fell swoop, beheading hundreds of them. Thanks to the timely support of Wang Hu's army, he defeated him.

After Cen Peng's army took advantage in this round, the morale of the army would naturally be higher. Liu Mao's soldiers were resentful and wanted to fight back and take revenge. Liu Mao said: "The pseudo-Han army is strong and the morale is strong, so it cannot be defeated. They must consume their morale more and wait until they are tired before they can face the enemy."

The soldiers all said, "If this continues, our army's spirit will be gone before the enemy's morale will be eliminated."

The fifth reunion is called Pioneer, but he has been suppressed by Liu Mao and is not allowed to fight. At this time, he volunteered to go out and asked to go out. Liu Mao said: "Let's wait for two more days to see."

Cen Peng's army took advantage of the high morale and attacked for two consecutive days. Although they had the upper hand, they could not achieve a decisive victory. On the third day, Cen Peng led his army to attack again, and Liu Mao still ordered his soldiers to guard the camp and not to fight.

The entire Cen Peng army pressed over, shouting and killing sounded shocking the sky, and the offensive was very fierce, and it was about to break through the camp.

Liu Mao sent Di Wu Lun to fight. Di Wu Lun had been waiting for the order to attack. He immediately shouted and led his three thousand men to rush out of the camp and rushed into the enemy. The enemy was exhausted from fighting for a long time and suddenly suffered a painful attack. He could not resist for a moment, so he retreated. Liu Mao rushed forward and Cen Peng's army fought and left, which was quite embarrassed.

The fifth person was unstoppable, and he led the way and rushed straight to the enemy camp. He led three thousand vanguards to step on the enemy formation, but was shot back by a storm-like crossbow arrow.

In this battle, Liu Mao's army had a slight advantage, and the two armies stabilized again and returned to a stalemate.

The generals of Luoyang asked to go out to the camp to fight. Liu Mao said: "Xin'an and Luoyang's strong troops are all in Mengjin. I hope that the Puyang General will be able to conquer Mengjin. After they win, they will definitely return to support our army. At that time, the enemy's long-term occupation will be exhausted. Our army will attack each other and will defeat them. Please be careful, and wait for news from the north."

Cen Peng was also a man who knew about the army. Knowing that Mengjin was related to the situation of the war, he prepared to send 10,000 people north to support Mengjin. Before he could send troops, news suddenly came that Mengjindu had been conquered by Fangdan, and the defenders were defeated, retreated to the other side and returned to Hanoi.

Cen Peng did not hesitate and immediately ordered the camp to detach the camp and headed east. Liu Mao also detached the camp and held on tightly. After two days of walking, Cen Peng stopped and turned around to fight against Liu Mao's army. The two armies fought fiercely for most of the day. Cen Peng's army was ultimately stronger. Liu Mao's army was unfavorable and gradually could not resist it.

Cen Peng was about to pursue the victory when he suddenly encountered the Yulin Army Captain Mu Hong, who led a small shooting camp to help. For a moment, thousands of crossbows were fired at once, and arrows were like rain, shooting Cen Peng's army back.

General Fangdan of Puyang also arrived later. The two led an army of 30,000 to support Liu Mao, while the remaining captain Cui Xiu of Mengjin led 10,000 people to garrison.

Liu Mao came with strong support and his morale was greatly boosted. He immediately wanted to fight Cen Peng. Cen Peng led his troops to retreat quickly. When he met Yingchuan prefect Feng Yi, who led 20,000 elite troops to support him.

Cen Peng stopped and turned around to fight. Both sides had strong support and re-formed a confrontation.

At this time, Liu Mao was backing Luoyang, Cen Peng, and Feng Yi relied on Gongxian and the Qian family. The Chen army on both sides was more than 100,000 on the Yiluo Plain, which was really evenly matched.

Liu Mao said: "I don't know how Ren Shang from Yanshi is doing now. Ren Yanjun is quite unhappy because he has not saved Yanshi. If Ren Shang makes any mistakes, I will not be able to explain to Ren Shangshu."

Wang Hu said: "The king does not have to blame himself. When the war between the two countries, the victory or defeat is related to the fortune of the country. Those who are the main generals naturally put the overall situation first and should not care about the gains and losses of a city and a place. Moreover, General Ren is very good at using troops, so it will definitely be very difficult for the enemy to take him down."

Cen Peng was also worried about Yanshi. He kept Zang Gonggong and ordered the soldiers of the Qian clan of Gong County to join the siege. It has been more than 20 days since then, and I don’t know what the situation of Yanshi is. He walked back and forth on the Yiluo Plain, and his current location is not far from Yanshi, so he sent someone back to inquire about the battle situation of Yanshi.

The news about Yanshi was unexpected. Suddenly, Zanggong heard news that he had broken through Yanshi City. Now he has led his army to join Cen Peng and Feng Yi.

Cen Peng asked about the situation of breaking the city, Zang Gong said: "Yanshi City has always been quiet. I followed the general's instructions and bluffed the camp and pretended to be a sensation. The enemy must have thought that the army was still there. General Mengjin Ren Shang, others said that he was so brave and brave. In my opinion, he had no ability, just stayed in the city and did not dare to come out. When the reinforcements of Gongxian and the Huo clan arrived, our army had an advantage in number, so I led the army to attack the city and attacked until the afternoon. Finally, he broke through the city gate and killed in."

Cen Pengqi said: "When our army attacked the city a few days ago, the guards of Yanshi were very tight and the attack lasted for several days. Why is it so easy now? You have captured it in one day."

Zang Gong said: "Are you going to keep him and catch Liu Mao's big fish? If we had attacked the city with all our might, we would have already broken it."

Cen Peng said: "Where is Ren Shang?"

"That man is indeed a god-looking man. He had expected that he would not be able to defeat me and the city would be broken, so he led his army to escape first."

Cen Peng was suddenly shocked and asked, "When you entered the city, how many people were there in the enemy's city?"

Zang Gong was still indifferent and said, "Hundreds of beheaded, hundreds of people in the city surrendered, and the rest may have escaped and never seen Ren Shang."

"Are these people the only ones?" Cen Peng suddenly said, "Oh no, Ren Shang must have left long ago. In my opinion, he may not be in Yanshi long ago, so he probably went to Hulao Pass!"

Zang Gong was also a little panicked, "How could it be? When did he leave? Why didn't I know at all?"

"He wants to go secretly, so naturally he won't let you know that at that time you had only 10,000 people in your hands and could not siege the city. He could only garrison west of Yancheng to prevent him from attacking our army. If he secretly went out from the east of the city at night, how would you know? This man was the best at sneak attacks. When he attacked Mengjindu, he always went in and out of Mangshan. When he escaped, he set up a stumbling block and shot Gai Yan to death. He was so cunning, how could Yanshi be easily captured? In my opinion, the head of Huzhu is now in danger. Go and find out about Fu Jun's news!"

Although Zang Gong felt it was unlikely, he had always believed Cen Peng and was a little worried at this time. He quickly sent someone to inquire. Sure enough, the exact news came. Ren Shang secretly led his troops from Yanshi to the northeast, crossed the road between the mountains, and rushed to the long distance. Taking advantage of Fu Jun's unpreparedness, he attacked Hulao Pass in one fell swoop.

Hulao Pass is an important place to go eastward in Luoyang area. Its geographical location is extremely important and is not comparable to that of Yanshi. Ren Shang obviously took a big advantage in this exchange.

Cen Peng was very anxious, and Feng Yi advised: "It's okay, Ren Shang's army alone guards Hulao, with no support or food and grass. We just need to block the road to the west of Hulao Pass, so that Luoyang cannot transport grain. Ren Shang can't hold on for long before he can't hold on."
