Chapter 346 What is it for?

The next day, the sky was just getting bright and the darkness had not yet completely receded. The gate of Chen Mo's camp was wide open. Troops and horses quickly lined up and formed a formation outside the camp. Han Fu was escorted to the front of the formation with a look of dejection.

"My lord, I have finally found out that my crime cannot be forgiven. I just ask my lord to spare my family~" Seeing Chen Mo waving the command flag at the camp gate, Han Fu, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly shouted hysterically in the direction of the camp gate.

"Behead!" Chen Mo didn't answer, and he didn't want to answer. No matter what the reason was, it would not be easy for the person he trained to tie up others to deal with him. Han Fu must die. As for his family... Even if Chen Mo doesn't pursue the case, I'm afraid he will

Can't live!

When the officer in charge of beheading saw the flag being waved, he swung down his butcher knife fiercely, and Douda's head was chopped off in front of the formation.

"Go to war!" Chen Mo said loudly as he walked down from the camp gate, got into the car and drove away.

"Woo~wuwu~wuwu~"

The sound of desolate horns resounded through the wilderness, and Chen Mo's army began to march towards Cao Jun's camp. However, they saw half-rolled flags and a cold light. There was not much noise, but it felt like the mountains were shaking, the mountains were collapsing, and the sky was collapsing.

"What does Chen Mo mean by this?" Cao Cao has not yet received the news of Cao Chun's defeat. When he learned that Chen Mo's army was all out, looking like a decisive battle, he couldn't help but feel suspicious. It was far from the time to decide the outcome of life and death.

, why did Chen Mo suddenly act like this?

"Could it be that Zi He succeeded?" Xia Houyuan's eyes lit up. Back then, Yuan Shao was forced to fight Chen Mo. Wasn't it because the food and grass were destroyed and he had to rush to fight Chen Mo? If Cao Chun succeeded now, Chen Mo would jump over the wall and think

It is not impossible to end the battle as soon as possible.

Cao Cao frowned. If that was the case, how could there be no news? He couldn't help but look at Guo Jia.

"Report~" Guo Jia was about to speak when he saw a general rushing outside the tent, bowing and saying: "My lord, please report urgently."

"What's the matter?" Cao Cao called the other party in and asked.

"Beacon fires were lit in Kaifeng, Chenliu, Yongqiu and other places last night. An urgent report came from Zhongmou. At five o'clock, several cavalry detachments passed by Zhongmou and asked if they were our cavalry!" the general bowed.

cavalry?

Cao Cao frowned when he heard this. All the tiger and leopard cavalry have been sent out. How can he still have cavalry in his hands now?

"No, Zihe is in danger!" As he thought, Cao Cao's expression suddenly changed, he stood up and said, "Quick, send scouts immediately to find out the spies and their whereabouts!"

"Here!"

"My lord, Chen Mo has sent his army to attack. Do you want to fight?" Xiahou Dun looked at Cao Cao and asked.

After Cao Cao pondered for a moment, he nodded and said: "Of course we have to fight."

Although I think it is unlikely that Chen Mo will take action in a desperate situation, the other party is about to hit the door now. At this time, he cannot weaken his momentum.

"Generals, obey the order!"

The generals stood up quickly.

"Yu Jin, Xia Houyuan!" Cao Cao looked at the generals in the tent and shouted in a deep voice.

"The general is here!" Yu Jin, Xia Houyuan heard this and each came out in line and bowed.

"You two each lead 10,000 troops and horses as the left and right wings to protect the central army. The rest of the generals each lead troops and horses as the central army and are under my control!" Cao Cao stood up and said.

"The last general takes command!"

"Go to war!"

"Here!"

Soon, soldiers and horses from each battalion of Cao's army quickly left the camp and quickly gathered outside the camp. Looking at Chen Mo's army approaching with great momentum from the distance, Cao Cao frowned slightly. The momentum of the Guanzhong Army was indeed worthy of being an elite division.

"Fengxiao, do you think Zixiao is successful?" Cao Cao stood on the cart, looking at the mighty battle formation of Chen Mo's army in the distance, and asked suddenly.

Guo Jia said with a smile: "Our army is calculated with intention but without intention. The probability of success is extremely high. Lord, there is no need to worry."

Of course, even if it fails, this battle must be fought now, and in Guo Jia's opinion, the possibility of failure is greater, otherwise Chen Mo would not be able to unscrupulously send so many cavalry to attack Cao Cao's rear, but Guo Jia said

You can't say, saying it will shake Cao Cao's confidence. Even if Cao Cao has this guess now, what Cao Cao needs now is confidence, and there are also problems with Chen Mo's arrangement. If Cao Chun fails, Chen Mo can just keep holding it back and use the cavalry to come.

Invading the grain road and competing with them for consumption, Cao Cao is the one who can't afford it. In Guo Jia's opinion, Chen Mo is sending troops now. There must be a problem. Even if the grain and grass are not burned, there is still a problem.

All in all, this battle suited Guo Jia's wishes.

Chen Mo's archers had already lined up in front of the formation. When Cao Jun was about to enter the opponent's firing range, the formation slowly stopped, and rows of crossbowmen quickly formed an arrow formation.

"Attack!" As officers at all levels conveyed orders one after another, the archers on both sides stopped, and the sword, shield, and spearmen began to advance in two directions. At the same time, the archers began to draw their bows and nock arrows.

Following the general's command, waves of arrows flew into the sky in an instant, intertwining into a dense rain of arrows in the air, and then rained down from high altitude with a scream of death.

The swordsmen and shieldmen on both sides skillfully raised their shields and formed a shield formation. Some of the arrow clusters falling from the sky were bounced off the shields, while others penetrated the shields hard. Casualties began to appear, but the soldiers rushing at the front

But they continued to move forward indifferently. Paoze's death in battle did not frighten them.

The two men and horses, like two opposing torrents, quickly collided with each other after being baptized by the rain of arrows, and the sound of fighting began to resound throughout the countryside.

The two coaches, Chen Mo and Cao Cao, are constantly adjusting the changes in the formation. Both of them can be regarded as the top commanders in the world, and they will not make too many mistakes. Such a huge battlefield may seem chaotic, but in the eyes of both of them, they have their own uniqueness.

Rhythm, this is a game. On the battlefield with more than 100,000 people, neither Chen Mo nor Cao Cao can control everyone in a subtle way. Just as Chen Mo said, on such a battlefield, both sides have almost the same strength.

In this case, it depends on which coach of the two sides makes fewer mistakes.

For both Cao Cao and Chen Mo, this is the largest and most difficult war they have fought since they led the army. While they try to avoid making too many mistakes themselves, they also have to capture the opponent's mistakes.

If you want to win, you must not only find the opponent's mistakes, but also make a series of arrangements to address them in a timely manner.

But at the level of the two of them, even if a big mistake occurs, they will quickly make up for it, and will not give the other side a chance to capture the opportunity. Therefore, the battlefield is a stalemate.

The fighter opportunity was fleeting, and both of them were trying to seize the fleeting opportunity while trying not to make any major omissions on their side.

This battle lasted from early morning to dusk, and neither of them could do anything to the other.

"Lord, the camp has been rebuilt!" Xu Shu came to Chen Mo and said with a smile.

"Okay!" Chen Mo nodded and said with a smile: "Ming Jin withdraws his troops!"

His main purpose in sending troops was not to defeat Cao Cao. With 200,000 troops fighting, unless Cao Cao made obvious omissions, it would be difficult to defeat him in one battle.

What he wants is to get closer to Cao Cao, keep an eye on Cao Cao, prevent him from evacuating, and bite the main force of Cao Cao's army here. Just as Guo Jia guessed, Chen Mo fought this battle just to fight Cao Cao.

As long as the rear food route is cut off by Ma Chao and others, Cao Cao will definitely lose. Chen Mo can't waste his troops with the opponent. He just needs to drag Cao Cao here. This battle will be won!

Dang Dang Dang~

With the crisp sound of the golden bell, the Guanzhong Army began to retreat, and at the same time, the left and right wings of Han Qiong and Zhang He began to cover the retreat of the Chinese army.

On Cao Jun's side, seeing Chen Mo retreat, Cao Cao naturally had no intention of fighting again. Today's battle has fully demonstrated that it is difficult for him and Chen Mo to decide the winner in a short period of time when their forces are similar. Seeing Chen Mo retreat,

And since there was no chance to take advantage of it, we had no choice but to retreat back to the camp.

"What does Chen Mo mean by this?" A big battle was fought in a haphazard manner. After the two sides withdrew their troops, Cao Cao discovered that Chen Mo had set up the camp at his door. He felt a little heavy in his heart. Chen Mo said this

Could it be that the purpose of fighting is to build a military camp right in front of one’s home?

Cao Cao believed that Chen Mo would not do such a meaningless thing. Since he did this, he must have a purpose, but what was his purpose?

Guo Jia shook his head and said nothing. He had some guesses, but he couldn't say them in front of everyone.

Cao Cao understood, looked at the generals and said: "Generals, please go back and pay close attention to each other's movements."

"Here!" The generals bowed and left.

After Cao Cao took Guo Jia down to the camp gate, he went straight back to his tent and asked Xu Chu to look behind the door before taking Guo Jia in.

"Fengxiao just stopped talking, but you know why Chen Mo did this?" Cao Cao looked at Guo Jia and said in a deep voice.

"Probably!" Guo Jia nodded and hesitated.

"There are words of filial piety, but there is no harm in saying them." Seeing Guo Jia's solemn look, Cao Cao said solemnly.

"I'm afraid something unexpected has happened to General Zihe." Guo Jia mused: "Chen Mo went to war today not to decisively defeat our army, but to keep an eye on our army and prevent it from retreating!"

A gloom flashed across Cao Cao's face, and he was a little irritated: "Three thousand tigers and leopards, none of them can come back?"

"I don't know, but if this were not the case, there is no way to explain why Chen Mo went to such lengths to set up the camp outside our military camp." Guo Jia did not explain this, because he did not know the specific situation, but inferring that if Cao Chun

Success, what Chen Mo has to do now is to defeat Cao Cao as soon as possible. At the beginning of today, Guo Jia also had this idea, but Chen Mo was too decisive in withdrawing his troops in the end, and it was unreasonable for the other party to spend so much time just to move the camp.

But if Cao Chun is defeated, and the whole army may be annihilated, then all this makes sense. Chen Mo will send the cavalry to the rear to raid his own grain road. The main army will contain Cao's army here. It will not take long, only half a month.

, Cao's army camp is now running out of food. If the food route is cut off by Chen Mo, their army of nearly 100,000 people may be in danger of mutiny immediately, and Chen Mo does this just to be able to react as quickly as possible.

.

Although it's a bit unbelievable, this is the only way Chen Mo's approach makes sense.
