The Nameless of the Common Clans

Since ancient times, offensive warfare has been very unfriendly to the attackers. No matter how elite and powerful your troops are, or how mob the defenders are, aside from off-field factors, on the battlefield of offensive warfare, the defenders often have an absolute geographical advantage. Therefore, throughout history, offensive warfare is only used when it is a last resort.

Whether it is Chaoge or Zhang He's camp, such offensive warfare has caused considerable losses to the Xianzhen Camp. Chen Mo actually doesn't want to fight such offensive warfare. If he is given enough time, he can completely cut off the enemy's water and food step by step, forcing them to leave the city, but all this takes time, and Chen Mo is just short of time now.

He wanted to capture Yecheng before Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shang, and take back the initiative that Cao Cao had taken away, and even strike back. Therefore, when facing the defense of Chaoge and Zhang He's army, Chen Mo used all means and spared no expense to launch a rare frontal attack. Han Qiong had been defeated, and now only Zhang He was left. In order to prevent the other party from escaping back to Yecheng and causing more trouble for himself to attack Yecheng.

Even if it costs some price, we must fight quickly and not delay too much time here.

Zhang He really experienced the fearlessness and fierce fighting style of the Guanzhong Army. Although they had fought before, it was only a small-scale war. Han Qiong's defeat to Wuyi was also due to Han Qiong's carelessness. The combat capability of the Guanzhong Army was not reflected, but this time, when the Guanzhong Army began to attack head-on, Zhang He finally experienced the bravery of the Guanzhong Army.

In terms of one-on-one combat power, no matter how strong it is, it is still a flesh and blood body, not that strong. Although Chen Mo has made some progress in equipment with the help of Ma Jun in recent years, he can't crush them, unless Chen Mo's three armies are equipped with equipment like Xianzhen Camp, but that is impossible.

The real fierceness is the opponent's fighting spirit. They rush up fearlessly, even if they die, they will take one down. The Guanzhong soldiers on the battlefield are like a group of lunatics. Except for the sound of the army's horn, the death of their comrades can't bring them fear at all.

Zhang He felt that it was a bit difficult to defend the camp, so he had to give up part of the camp and let the troops concentrate more to fight against the brave soldiers in Guanzhong.

Even so, after only one day of attack, there were many gaps in the solid camp that Zhang He had spent a lot of effort to build. Even several times, the Guanzhong soldiers had already rushed in, and Zhang He gathered heavy troops to drive them out again.

On the battlefield, military tactics and strategies are indeed important, but when the war really starts, it is often morale that determines the outcome of both sides. The side with stronger morale will have the advantage.

Now, the Guanzhong Army gives the Jizhou Army the feeling that they are invincible, and even give rise to fear and dare not fight against them.

Ding Ding Ding~

As the gongs sounded in the rear of Guanzhong, the Guanzhong Army retreated like a tide, quickly and without the slightest intention of fighting. Even during the withdrawal, they maintained a certain formation and did not cause too much chaos. Many surviving Jizhou soldiers suddenly collapsed on the ground at the moment when the Guanzhong Army withdrew. Today's day of fighting was like a nightmare to them. The Guanzhong Army brought them too much pressure.

Not to mention the ordinary soldiers, even Zhang He felt like he had survived a disaster. He understood why the veteran Han Qiong was defeated so quickly. The elite and brave Guanzhong army made him feel like he could not hold on after just one day, while Han Qiong defended for three days before the city was broken on the fourth day.

Han Qiong's men were all veterans who had fought against the Hu people in the north for a long time and had experienced hundreds of battles. They could be said to be the most elite troops in Jizhou.

Under the setting sun, Zhang He looked at the Guanzhong army retreating like a tide, and his face was complicated. Facing such a force, Zhang He felt an unspeakable sense of powerlessness for the first time.

Ask for help?

It was impossible to get reinforcements now.

Zhang He stayed at the gate until nightfall. After making sure that Chen Mo had no intention of continuing the attack, he arranged for the soldiers to change guards and then went back to the tent to rest. Today, not only were the soldiers under great pressure, but as the commander, Zhang He had to take the overall situation into consideration and arrange everything in place. Once there was an omission or the enemy broke in, Zhang He had to make a response plan as soon as possible. The soldiers were fighting and wasting their physical strength, while Zhang He not only had to take action at any time, but also had to control the overall situation, which consumed his mental energy.

On the other side, in Chen Mo's camp, the generals gathered in Chen Mo's tent at this moment.

"Zhang He's soldiers are not as elite as the Chaoge defenders. The lord chose to break Chaoge first, which was quite wise. If Han Qiong's morale was restored, even if our army could break the city, it would probably cost a lot." Xun You sighed as he looked at the booklet recording the merits and the fallen soldiers.

He did not personally participate in the battle, but he could make a comparison based on the data. Chen Mo's casualties during the attack on Chaoge were much higher than now, and they were all commanded by Chen Mo, and the solidity of Zhang He's camp was not necessarily lower than that of Chaoge. Although there are other factors on the battlefield, these two data cannot explain everything, but they can also explain some problems.

"The morale of the Jizhou army has been scattered, so it is rare for Zhang He to be able to hold on until now." Chen Mo looked at the map and agreed with Xun You's words, but that was all. Up to now, the morale of his side was at its peak, while the morale of the Jizhou army was low due to successive attacks, and the troops were not equal. If Zhang He wanted to turn the tables now, he would be defeated unless he could defeat Chen Mo, but it was not easy to defeat Chen Mo.

Now Chen Mo is already thinking about how to defeat Ye City. This battle is Chen Mo's key battle. He has been planning for this for a long time. In Chen Mo's heart, the opponent has never been Jizhou Army, but Cao Army. He wants to use this battle to defeat Yecheng. Completely breaking the three-legged alliance in the Central Plains since the Jian'an period For this battle, officials at all levels from Luoyang to Chang'an, including Chen Mo, have tightened their belts in recent years and used all the money in the treasury to buy food from the people. During this period, Therefore, more than 300 officials were killed.

But all of this is worth it as long as we can win Jizhou.

"The Black Mountain Army can be dispatched." After looking at the map for a long time, Chen Mo just raised his head and looked at the crowd and said: "I have been raising the Black Mountain Army for nearly ten years, and now it is time to use the Black Mountain Army, Dezu."

"Here!" Yang Xiu quickly stood up and bowed.

"You are responsible for this matter." Chen Mo handed a seal to Yang Xiu and said solemnly: "Within three days, I will defeat Zhang He. When my army arrives in Yecheng, I hope to see Zhang Yan and his Montenegrin Army!”

"Here!" Yang Xiu stood up and bowed solemnly.

After Yang Xiu left, Chen Mo suddenly looked up at Xun You and said, "Gongda, Liu He hasn't replied yet?"

According to Jia Xu's original plan, Chen Mo had secretly ordered someone to contact Liu He. He also had detailed work in Jizhou, and these tasks were left to Xun You.

"No, these days, the city is closed in the direction of Yecheng. It is difficult to get in touch with our army's detailed operations in Yecheng." Next, it would be easier to destroy Ye City. Unfortunately, there has been no response for a long time, and Xun You doesn't know what Liu He's attitude is.

"It doesn't matter." Chen Mo nodded. As of now, no matter whether Liu He can cooperate with him or not, he will break through Ye City. He looked at the crowd and said, "Generals, go and rest. We will break through Zhang He tomorrow." Camp.”

"General, take your orders!" All the generals responded and bowed to leave.

Phew~

Chen Mo asked someone to put away the map and let out a sigh of relief. This battle had just begun, and there would probably be many tough battles ahead.

Under the same night sky, Zhang He forced himself to fall asleep, but two hours later, he woke up again. Chen Mo put too much pressure on him, making it difficult for him to fall asleep.

With confusion in his heart, he walked out of the tent and went straight to the camp gate. Under the darkness, it was difficult to see clearly the place ten feet away from the camp gate. He looked deeply at the dim lights in the distance, which was the camp of the Guanzhong Army. , thinking about the current situation in his mind.

Han Qiong's two defeats completely destroyed the morale of the Jizhou Army. If you want to reverse the current situation, the best way is to defeat Chen Mo once in a head-on confrontation. But now it is difficult to defend the camp. Not to mention a head-on confrontation.

But if he doesn't do anything, Zhang He doesn't know how long the camp can be held. He can't even guarantee whether it can hold it tomorrow.

Something must be done!

Zhang He looked at the camp in the distance, took a deep breath, and a crazy thought flashed through his mind. The Guanzhong Army had won consecutive victories. Although their morale was high, they would still be arrogant. If he led his troops to attack them at this moment, Camp...

Although I feel that with the quality of the Guanzhong Army, the possibility of successfully stealing the camp is very low, but what if it happens?

Once this crazy idea arises, it will be difficult to contain it. After Zhang He pondered for a moment, he waved to the dozing soldiers beside him and said, "Go and invite the generals from each battalion to come!"

"Here!" The soldier came to his senses, responded hurriedly, and left in a hurry.

Soon, the generals of each battalion of the three armies gathered over. Zhang He looked at the generals and said: "The bandits are now powerful. If we hold the camp and hold on, our army may not be able to stop the bandits. I intend to gather the elite of the army tonight and attack the camp at night. Everyone." What do you think?"

When all the generals heard the words, no one answered, they just kept silent. How could they be robbed? Who will rob? With the bravery of the Guanzhong Army, going to rob the camp could be said to be a narrow escape. At this point in the battle, many people had already thought of surrendering after breaking the camp. At this time, who would be willing to rob the camp?

"Don't worry, everyone, I will go there in person to rob the camp tonight!" Looking at the generals, Zhang He suppressed the anger rising in his heart and said in a deep voice: "You only need to gather the most elite soldiers in your hands and hand them over to my general. !”

After hearing this, the generals were relieved, agreed, and quickly brought out their good troops and handed them over to Zhang He.

Zhang He didn't say anything more, and organized his troops to prepare to rob the camp...
