"The common man bullied others too much!" After a melee, Yuan Shu withdrew to the camp under the protection of his soldiers and arranged for archers to shoot at the base, so that Hua Xiong could not rush in. However, in today's battle, the losses were heavy, and many soldiers trampled on each other.

, there were countless casualties, and the losses on Chen Mo's side were probably only some kerosene and the Xiliang cavalry who died in the melee. I don't know if it was enough for 500.

After he was the fourth generation and the third prince, he commanded an army of 50,000 people. He was beaten to disgrace by Chen Mo, a little thief who didn't even have a title. He was outnumbered. This made Yuan Shu angry.

All the generals in the tent bowed their heads and remained silent. Chen Mo first used traps, trebuchets and kerosene to suppress their morale. When it was getting late and they were preparing to withdraw, he suddenly sent out cavalry.

It cannot be said that Yuan Shu's soldiers are incompetent. It can only be said that Chen Mo grasped this opportunity very well. Just when Yuan Jun's fighting spirit was almost worn out and he was preparing to withdraw, the advantage of the cavalry was also here. It was too mobile and they simply did not have enough.

There is no time to respond. When the army is retreating, it suddenly needs to change its formation. Even gods can't do it.

But Yuan Shu was furious at this moment, and no one dared to refute.

"Lord!" Yang Hong thought for a moment and said, "Chen Mo is a scheming person. Today's defeat seems to be due to our army being defeated, but in fact it is Chen Mo who used traps and catapults to exhaust the morale of our army step by step.

The morale of the soldiers was at its lowest when the soldiers were withdrawing. Chen Mo had been avoiding fighting, but suddenly rushed out when our troops were withdrawing. It was really cunning. This battle was not the fault of the soldiers. The top priority was to calm the morale of the soldiers.

, rebuild your morale, and fight Chen Mo again, you will definitely be able to defeat him in one battle."

The generals were slightly relieved when they heard this. After Yang Hong said this, the guilt on them was reduced a lot, and for a while, they felt a lot of gratitude to Yang Hong.

"Moreover, Chen Mo's methods should have been exhausted today. When our army's morale recovers, when we fight again tomorrow, it will be a showdown." Yang Hong said with a smile: "So my lord, there is no need to worry."

These crooked moves can only be used once. Now that all the traps Chen Mo prepared in advance have been eliminated, it will be difficult to pose a threat to the army. If they fight again, the only thing that will matter is the offensive and defensive skills of both sides.

As for the routines of attacking and defending the camp, it is more about testing the generals' control over the details. At this point, Yuan Shu's side has many soldiers and generals, but Chen Mo actually has no danger to defend, so Yuan Shu naturally has the advantage.

"Okay!" After hearing this, Yuan Shu slapped the table and said, "The generals will follow the advice of the military advisor, clean up military discipline, and restore morale!"

"General, take your orders!" All the generals bowed to their orders and then left.

…

Yang people gathered and Chen Mo camped.

"I will admire the general's tactics." After Hua Xiong led his army back, he looked at Chen Mo with admiration. This battle was really won. If Yuan Shu hadn't hid back in the camp, he might have defeated Yuan Shu.

Caught alive.

"Don't be too busy admiring me." When Chen Mo saw Hua Xiong coming back, he motioned for him to sit down and said, "General Yang just sent a message that those on the top of the mountain have surrendered and have now been taken down the mountain for custody."

After all, it was difficult to find water at the top of the cliff. Yu She was destroyed, food and grass were cut off, and there were no bows or arrows. After being trapped for two days, he could no longer hold on.

"The general's intention is..." Hua Xiong said unexpectedly.

"Now that the cliff tops on both sides have been completely occupied by our army, Yang Renju no longer needs to defend it. We will withdraw our troops tonight!" Chen Mo nodded at the table.

"If we have a great victory, how can we withdraw our troops at this time?" Hu Zhen said with a frown.

"We came here to stop Yuan Shu and remove Yuan's army from the top of the cliff. Now our goal has been achieved. After all, this place is not as dangerous as Yique Pass. If we start a battle here, Yuan Shu's troops and horses will be several times larger than mine, which will ultimately be detrimental to our army.

It is better to withdraw to Yique Pass and defend the pass." Chen Mo said with a smile.

"The general is joking. Today our army defeated Yuan Shu without injuring many people. After Sun Jian left, Yuan Shu has nothing to fear. The general boosted Yuan Shu's morale like this, which is too much... haha~" Hu Zhen shook his head and said,

He suffered a defeat at the hands of Sun Jian in the past, but now seeing that Yuan Shu is so easy to bully, and Hua Xiong has achieved great achievements one after another, he will definitely be awarded a title after this battle, and maybe it will directly climb on his head. But this time he came out, but he failed to achieve even a single success.

How can you be willing to evacuate without being established?

"I really don't have much courage. Why don't you do this? General Hua Xiong and I will withdraw to Yique Pass. General Hu will continue to garrison here. If we lose, we can withdraw."

"This is natural." Hu Zhen asked himself that Chen Mo's methods had been clearly seen, and this time he sent troops, Chen Mo only had more than 2,000 troops from his own army, and Hua Xiong only had 3,000 troops, but he had two schools of troops, almost half of them.

This is also the reason why Hu Zhen refused to buy Chen Mo's face several times.

"In that case, let's make a decision." Chen Mo ignored Hu Zhen and stood up immediately, leading Hua Xiong's troops out of the camp and retreating to Yique Pass at night. Hu Zhen then sent people overnight to follow Chen Mo's method and continue

The outside of the camp was covered with barbs, and many trenches were dug. He was preparing to fight a victorious battle himself, suppress Chen Mo's arrogance, and gain a lot of merit at the same time.

However, Yuan Shu obviously wanted to prevent Chen Mo from repeating his old tricks again, so he deployed a lot of troops outside to monitor the movement at night. Some people wanted to set traps and rushed to fight. Hu Zhen's troops were busy all night and lost many people, but

The traps laid were not half as good as before.

"This Chen Jialang is also at a loss for skills, so he can only repeat his old tricks." Early the next morning, Yuan Shu, who had slept all night, heard his subordinates report what happened last night, and couldn't help but smile to the generals.

"My lord, the general has gathered a lot of fire oil. Today we will use this method to burn down his camp!" Zhang Xun said with a smile.

"More than that!" Yang Hong shook his head and said: "My lord, you can send two troops to surround the enemy's rear after the war begins to prevent Chen Mo from taking the opportunity to escape back to Yique Pass. If you teach him to escape back to Yique Pass, this battle will not be easy to fight.

Already."

"Good!" Yuan Shu nodded, and immediately ordered two generals to take 10,000 troops each. After the battle began, they went around to the rear of the enemy camp to block the enemy's return path.

Woo~

With the passionate horns and the rumbling of war drums, Yuan Jun, who had been repairing all night, came out of the camp again. Dozens of catapults slowly rolled out from the camp and approached Hu Zhen's camp.

Looking at Yuan Jun's battle, Hu Zhen sneered disdainfully. One day later, Yuan Shu was still doing the same old routine. After the Fourth Generation and the Three Dukes, his reputation was just more famous, so it was nothing to worry about.

He immediately ordered the archers to suppress it and prevent the opponent's catapult from easily approaching. At the same time, he kept an eye on the opponent's catapult. When the opponent's catapult fell into a trap like yesterday, his own catapult would show off its power.

But what surprised him was that the opponent's catapult stopped some distance away from the trap he dug. Things seemed to be different from what he expected.

In fact, it is not difficult to understand that the trap Chen Mo dug yesterday was carefully calculated by Chen Mo. The range of both sides and the general direction of the enemy's catapult were all viewed from the perspective of Yuan Shu's command, otherwise there would be no need for Dian Wei.

He ran to provocation to buy time for himself, and the barbs and traps outside the camp were also sophisticated. Chen Mo was very accomplished in mathematics. The traps he set would not be possible unless someone like Yang Xiu, who has a photographic memory and is proficient in mathematics, could

You must learn, otherwise experienced generals will see the method laid out by Chen Mo, and they will not be able to imitate it without being proficient in mathematics.

Hu Zhen only thought that it was easy to win yesterday, but he didn't know how much effort Chen Mo put into yesterday's victory, and he allowed Yuan Shu to control the rhythm step by step. Moreover, Yuan Shu suffered a loss, so he was naturally wary of Chen Mo repeating his old tricks. Now Hu Zhen

Zhen studied the art of photographing a cat and drawing a tiger, but he didn't even understand the fundamental problem. How could Yuan Shu be fooled?

While Hu Zhen was stunned, the catapult on Yuan Shu's side had already begun to load the kerosene cans, and the cans of kerosene fell towards the wall. In a hurry, Hu Zhen was dragged off the wall by the guards.

, the next moment, the entire village wall was infected by countless kerosene, and the pungent smell finally made Hu Zhen realize. This is how Chen Mo dealt with Yuan Jun yesterday, but today it was Yuan Jun who dealt with him.

"Hurry, evacuate!" Not caring about anything else, Hu Zhen quickly ordered the soldiers on the wall to run down, but the next moment, countless rockets were fired over, and in an instant, the entire camp wall was engulfed in a sea of ​​fire.

Hu Zhen climbed up to an archery tower and looked into the distance. He saw Yuan Shu's army beginning to clean up traps and using spears to find pits. Soon the ravines he had dug overnight were exposed.

The catapult began to move forward, and then stopped in front of the pit, and began to continuously fire canisters towards the camp.

It’s over!

Hu Zhen's face turned a little pale. The cupping pots he had stored around the catapult were supposed to be convenient for attacking later, but now, they have become a reminder here.

The pungent smell of kerosene spread to all directions, and the rockets that followed immediately plunged the entire military camp into a sea of ​​flames.

Countless war horses went into chaos before anyone could ride them. The war horses jumped out of the sea of ​​fire and fled in all directions. The soldiers along the way were hit and had their bones broken, and the entire camp was set on fire.

Hu Zhen was trapped in the fire. He hurriedly turned over and jumped off the arrow tower. One of his guards led his own horse, opened the rear camp gate and rushed out. He finally broke out of the sea of ​​​​fire. He looked at the Yuan Jun officers and soldiers coming up around him.

Hu Zhen's face turned pale. Until now, he still hasn't figured out what's the difference between him and Chen Mo? Why did Chen Mo use the same method yesterday to beat the enemy to the point where he couldn't fight back today, but he was beaten by the enemy using the same method today?

There is no way to fight back at all.

"Why don't the generals dismount and surrender!?" Several Yuan Jun generals came to the front of the formation and looked at Hu Zhen and the small group of troops, with a hint of joking and a hint of joy in their voices.

Yesterday they were defeated by these Xiliang troops, but today they were able to win back a victory. How could they not be happy?
