"Woo~wuwu~wuwu~"

The desolate sound of horns echoed across the sky and the earth. Following the sound of horns, the reorganized armies began to march towards Chaoge City. Han Qiong had just suffered a setback and his morale was declining. This time Chen Mo sent troops and took Han Qiong as the main target of attack.

If the emperor sings songs at court, Zhang He will become a lone army and there is nothing to fear.

On the archery tower in the camp, Zhang He stood at the top, looking at the mighty Guanzhong soldiers passing by in the distance, feeling a little heavy in his heart. The groups of soldiers seemed to be endless and kept fighting out from the direction of the enemy's camp.

Heading straight to Chaoge, according to the original plan with Han Qiong, the city and the camp were at horns with each other. If one side was attacked, the other side would immediately attack the enemy's rear, preventing them from attacking with all their strength.

But at this moment, Zhang He could not send out troops as promised before, but he saw a group of troops waiting outside the camp, and there was a general beating horses and shouting in front of the camp.

"Where is Zhang He? I heard that you are also a famous general in Hebei, as famous as Yan Liang, Wen Chou. Do you dare to come out of the camp to fight with me today? You can also show me how incompetent the famous general in Hebei is!" But outside the camp, a young general hit him.

The horses were galloping back and forth, their voices were loud and intimidating to the three armies, but what was even more shocking were the other party's words, which were like a knife constantly stabbing the hearts of the Jizhou soldiers.

Ma Chao of Xiliang became famous during the battle between Chen Mo and Yuan Shao. He led his troops to harass Yuan Shao's retreat, and even burned down the Muye granary. As a result, Yuan Shao had no food and had to fight Chen Mo, and was ultimately defeated.

Ma Chao even killed Yan Liang, and Chunyu Qiong used this to shock the world. Now he comes here to call for battle, and he talks about Yan Liang's incident as soon as he opens his mouth. It makes people hate him, but there is nothing he can do about it!

Ma Chao asked for a fight, but Zhang He could not respond. If he accepted the challenge, no matter whether he won or lost, Chen Mo's troops would most likely turn to attack the camp directly. If he went to rescue Han Qiong, the camp would also be destroyed by Ma Chao.

At this time, the usefulness of Zhang Wei's three thousand cavalry outside became apparent. Zhang He couldn't help but admire Han Qiong in his heart. If he hadn't reminded him, Zhang He would have been in a dilemma at this time.

Just looking at the mighty Guanzhong army in the distance and the various siege equipment that appeared from time to time, Zhang He was a little frightened, and he didn't know whether the old general could defend Chaoge.

Outside the camp, Ma Chao couldn't help but sneer when he saw that no one was responding to the challenge: "Could it be that all the Four Court Pillars in Hebei have lost their courage? Since they don't dare to challenge, why bother blocking the way of my army here? Why don't you surrender earlier, maybe you can get an officer?"

Half-time.”

"If you are really capable, why do you dare not attack the camp for so long? You only bark like the evil dog here. How can you be considered a hero?" Zhang He took a deep breath and said loudly.

"Ha, I've been fighting for many years, and this is the first time that I've been so confident and confident. If I attack the camp, wouldn't it be just a matter of child's play with the lives of our lieutenants?" Ma Chao laughed and said, "You're using this method to provoke the generals.

, I dare to use it to show my shame, I really don’t know what it means.”

Aren't you stupid? Do you think you are a fool? Zhang He laughed angrily, and did not argue with him. He said coldly: "If you want to fight, then lead troops to attack. Otherwise, stop barking here."

After saying that, he ignored Ma Chao and turned around to leave. He also wanted to instruct Zhang Wei to assist Han Qiong, so he had no intention of quarreling with Ma Chao here.

Although Chen Mo said that Ma Chao's trip would be considered successful as long as he contained Zhang He, but Ma Chao obviously did not want to just contain Zhang He. When he saw Zhang He turned around and left, he couldn't help but cursed again. However, Zhang He saw through his plan and how could he defeat him?

He just ignored him and issued a strict order. No one was allowed to leave the camp without his order.

Ma Chao yelled and cursed for a long time. Seeing that no one responded, he felt angry, but he had no choice but to watch here. He asked people to come forward in turn to yell and curse, trying to lure out several generals of the opponent and wait for an opportunity to defeat the enemy.

However, Zhang He was very strict in managing the army, and his soldiers did not have a general. Even if they felt depressed, they did not dare to go out to fight without permission, so they could only let Ma Chao be arrogant outside the camp.

"Lord, that Zhang He did not forcefully send out troops." On the other side, Chen Mo commanded the army to go out, using the long snake formation to pull the army apart, trying to induce Zhang He to forcefully send out troops, and cooperated with Ma Chao to defeat Zhang He first. Unfortunately, Zhang He obviously did not fall into the trap until

Chen Mo's army completely arrived at Chaoge, and Zhang He did not send any troops.

"Don't be careless!" Chen Mo sighed. Zhang He was quite calm, much stronger than Yan Liang and Wen Chou in the past. After giving the instructions, he began to observe the defense of Chaoge City.

Chaoge was the ancient capital of the Shang Dynasty, but since the Yin Dynasty, it has declined rapidly. Most of the glorious ancient city in the past has been destroyed. Today's Chaoge is far less majestic than what is recorded in historical records, and is just a county town.

However, the defense of Chaoge City is quite complete. After Zhang He arrived here, he began to order people to strengthen the defense of Chaoge City. Obviously he also knew the importance of Chaoge City. This is the last barrier to the south of Ye City. If this is broken, Chen Mo's army will

You can then reach Yecheng directly.

As usual, Chen Mo first asked Zhang Xiu to shout surrender outside the city. Although the possibility was slim, he could still express his respect for the veteran by saluting first and then attacking.

Zhang Xiu went to shout for help, but of course to no avail.

"Attack!" Chen Mo didn't waste any time and directly ordered the siege. Catapults, battering rams, and ladders were carried to the front line and slowly moved towards Chaoge City. At the same time, groups of soldiers were commanded by generals at all levels.

, launched a charge towards the city, with arrows from both sides shooting towards the opposite side like a rain of arrows covering the sky.

After a brief arrow rain attack, the siege army began to contact the city wall. Aerial ladders were set up on the city wall. The soldiers began to charge, but Han Qiong did not give in at all. The two sides fought fiercely up and down the city wall.

"My lord, I will finally invite you to fight." Gao Shun saw that the situation was at a stalemate and could not break the city. He came to Chen Mo and bowed.

"Today is just a test to see what Han Qiong is capable of and whether they have any backup plans. There will be no fight in the trap camp today." Chen Mo shook his head. The trap camp was a treasure in his hands. Every loss was enough to make Chen Mo feel heartbroken.

There is a principle of bringing it out on the battlefield. Now that the enemy's situation is not clear and the enemy's methods have not been exhausted, Chen Mo will not let the trapped camp join the battle.

Hot boiling oil was poured on the ladder, igniting the ladder. The soldiers who climbed on the ladder and rushed forward screamed and rolled down the ladder. The siege ram was also smashed by rolling logs and stones. The war on the city wall,

It started to get more and more intense.

Chen Mo stared at the changes on the city wall. Although the morale of the siege troops was strong, Han Qiong's dispatch was quite prudent. After a day of such a strong attack, Han Qiong's position was not in any disorder.

Han Qiong could be forced to make mistakes, but Chen Mo suffered a lot of losses. The ladders and siege rams that were pushed onto the battlefield were all exhausted. Seeing that the situation was getting worse, Chen Mo finally ordered the money to be withdrawn and fight again tomorrow.

For the next three consecutive days, Chen Mo pressed Chaoge City to fight again, and even called Ma Jun to make engineering equipment to assist in the siege. On the third day, as the siege crossbows were sent to the battlefield, the defenders finally revealed their presence.

Showing a hint of fatigue.

"Woooooo~"

Amidst the exciting sound of horns, a cavalry suddenly bypassed the city and charged towards the rear formation of the Guanzhong Army. The Guanzhong Army was caught off guard and was shaken by the cavalry. Chaos broke out in the rear. Chen Mo quickly ordered Zhang Ji and Zhang Xiu to lead the army.

The soldiers went to encircle and suppress them, but the cavalry did not want to fight. They ran away with one strike, giving Chen Mo no chance to encircle them. The offensive was frustrated. Chen Mo ordered the gold medal, but looked at the cavalry that fled away.

"Is this their trump card?" Chen Mo thought for a moment, pointed at the cavalry and said, "Find the location of this cavalry. Tomorrow Pound will lead the cavalry to pursue it, so that it cannot rescue the city."

"Here!" Pang De agreed and bowed to leave.

"Gao Shun!" Returning to the camp, Chen Mo called Gao Shun.

"The end will be here." Gao Shun bowed and said.

"Tomorrow the trapped camp will go into battle. Remember, if the trapped camp moves, this battle will be won!" Chen Momo looked at Gao Shundao seriously.

The bottom line in the city has been discovered by Chen Mo. Han Qiong was actually unable to stop him today, so he called out the cavalry to attack. Chaoge City can be captured tomorrow.

"General, take your orders!" Hearing this, Gao Shun immediately took the command arrow, said goodbye and left to organize his troops.

Early the next morning, Han Qiong felt a sense of oppression when he looked at the mighty enemy troops coming from outside the city. Today, the Guanzhong Army seemed to be more powerful than before, with more men and horses. Is this going to be a decisive battle?

Han Qiong stared at the opponent's slowly moving army and kept issuing orders one after another. Although Chaoge was a small town, even Chen Mo couldn't defeat Chaoge in his own hands.

As usual, arrows were exchanged, and siege equipment was continuously pushed to the front. After the previous three days of competition, the two sides already knew each other's basics. Han Qiong did not hide it anymore, and would immediately notify Zhang Wei to lead the cavalry to harass the enemy's flanks.

, making it impossible for the enemy to attack the city easily.

Pang De took the order and went out, leading his cavalry to chase Zhang Yi so that he could not get close to Chen Mo's army.

Although the Jizhou cavalry is elite, Chen Mo's Xiliang cavalry is not bad either. In addition, Pang De is also a rare good general. With him on the side to contain him, it will be extremely difficult for Zhang Wei to get close to Chen Mo's army.

At the same time, the siege battle was fully launched. Gao Shun's trapped camp did not rush to the front, but was mixed with the army. After the two sides engaged with the enemy, the trapped camp quickly moved forward. The eight hundred trapped camps were like sharp knives.

After approaching the city, they took off their disguises, divided into ten teams and quickly climbed up the ten ladders. The fire oil in the city had been exhausted in the previous three days of offensive and defensive battles, and the soldiers defending the city were also exhausted, but the trapped soldiers

The soldiers in the camp had been recharging their energy. As soon as they entered the battlefield, they quickly rushed to the front and climbed up.

Although the defenders tried their best to stop them, the soldiers in the trapped camp were all covered in armor, which made it difficult for ordinary swords to cut through. They were also very brave in killing. Within a moment of appearing on the battlefield, they had already attacked the city wall and quickly cleared a large section of the city wall.

"Quick! Drive these people down!" Han Qiong did not expect that the opponent's army would have such elite soldiers and horses. A large area of ​​the city wall was lost at this moment. He quickly led his troops to drive down the trapped camp, but unfortunately it was too late.
Chapter completed!
