The Nameless of the Common Clans

"Teacher's action is really extraordinary. Zhuge Liang's carefully deployed defense line was broken like this!" Li Qiu, 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 he did not teach me all my skills, I owe my current talent and learning 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. enemy Short, but after breaking this line of defense, the Governor of Xiangyang also looked at the terrain. The terrain was dangerous and difficult to defend. Mr. Kong Ming set up several villages outside the city. The placement seemed ordinary, but in fact it coincided with mathematical logic. Mr. Chen Also proficient in numbers A reasonable man, as long as he has seen Mr. Kong Ming's things, he must have clearly understood that if he wants to destroy them, he can only use human lives to supplement them. Master Chen obviously does not want to do this, so he only uses military force to contain them. At this time, he crossed the river and Come on, situation There are some differences. Xiangyang cannot fully support Fancheng. Although Fancheng is difficult to defeat at this time, it is a few points weaker than before. "Cao Ang had a thorough understanding of the current situation, but precisely because of this, he became more and more interested in Chen Mo. Awe.

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 foot of Jiwu Mountain, Xia Houyuan's thousands-mile attack 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 stunning battle failed to turn the tide and was quickly resolved by Chen Mo. Now that I think about it, Chen Mo's decisive decision at that time was the key to victory or defeat. Even if he hesitated, 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 horns 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. .

"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 take 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 worried. Now it's time to see what Chen Mo is capable of.

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

In fact, the biggest problem is here. No matter how Chen Mo divides his troops, all the troops are under his control. As for the coalition forces, although they 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 similar to 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 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 command power 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 are mutually beneficial. With calculations and fears, it is difficult to imagine what the eighteenth princes would have looked like back then. Even if there were many knowledgeable people like Cao Cao and Zang Hong among them, it would be difficult for them to truly unite their hearts.

The two brought a group of troops to the outside of Fan City quickly, and 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 speak, 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. The two sides had not yet formed a circle. , he had already taken action, and for a while rocks were raining down, and blood flowed all over the ground.

"Strange, Fancheng has more than these ballistas to defend the city." Cao Xiu frowned as he watched the battle.

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 suffered a lot of losses. This is the above method of replacing injuries. Mr. Zhuge will 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 that had already gained the upper hand and started to flee in panic.

"Boom~"

At this moment, the ground trembled, and a cavalry suddenly rushed out from the flank and came straight towards the opponent's crossbowmen. At the right time, it was the right time 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 it was this cavalry that Zhuge Liang was planning. They had had a battle with Ma Chao before. They knew very well that even after being trained by the Cao family generals, the Jiangdong Army's infantry combat level had been greatly improved. There is no chance of winning with this cavalry. 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 is 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 army 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. Both Zhuge Liang, who was directing the war, and Zhou Yu and Cao Ang, who were watching the battle, all changed their expressions.

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 will be crushed by this cavalry, and they have 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. Like a savage giant beast, it rushed into the Jingzhou army that had no time to retreat. It was just a The impact destroyed the Jingzhou army 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 wounded, but the enemy did not pursue him. He defeated the Jingzhou army and quickly evacuated the battlefield. Zhuge Liang Although he sensed something was wrong and quickly ordered to fire arrows, the opponent had already rushed to the edge of the battlefield. Except for a few unlucky ones who were killed by artillery stones, they almost escaped completely...
