The Nameless of the Common Clans

"Cheng Fang, you did a good job. You should be credited with being able to defeat the enemy today!" Returning to the camp, Chen Mo was in a good mood and smiled at Cheng Fang.

Cheng Fang was originally a military commander under Hu Cai, but his destiny was nearly ten points higher than that of ordinary military commanders. Chen Mo naturally did not promote people casually. Even if he did not know his background, he would select those with outstanding destiny from these grassroots generals. He was promoted by the person who was promoted. This Cheng Fang's destiny far exceeded his position, so he naturally had his own unique talents.

"It's because my lord is well-organized, and the general doesn't dare to be greedy for credit!" Cheng Fang was also a little excited. During this period, he also got to know Chen Mo a little bit. Naturally, he was happy to be rewarded, but what was even more exciting was that his ability was recognized. This is a feeling that I would never have had under Hu Cai in the past. Once this feeling comes, the sense of recognition will naturally come.

"There is no need to be modest. The next battle still has to be fought. This battle cannot be fought by one person. It also depends on the help of all the soldiers!" Chen Mo smiled and asked someone to give the prepared reward, a fine iron long sword with a texture of Not bad. In addition, there is also the official seal of the captain. Although he was temporarily acting as the captain before, he has not been officially appointed. This time, Cheng Fang is officially promoted to the rank of captain. Although there are only two people, but for It's enough for Cheng Fang.

The other generals are a little envious. Although they were all promoted by Chen Mo, there is no situation like Cheng Fang who was promoted from a military prince to a captain. How long has it been?

"Cheng Fang was awarded the reward because he was willing to train his troops diligently. Everyone has seen the results he has achieved on the battlefield. I believe that God rewards hard work, and capable people will not be buried under my command." Chen Mo spoke up to attract everyone's attention. Li pulled back and said with a smile: "You are all selected by me personally, and your abilities are worthy of being matched. As I just said, fighting is not the work of one person. I hope you can work with me to defeat the enemy!"

"The last general is willing to die in the service of our lord!" Regardless of whether he is sincere or not, at this moment, the heartbeat is inevitable. Li Le and Hu are clan-style warlords. The generals they recruited, no matter how capable they are, can do whatever they can. It is not easy to become a military commander, but with Chen Mo, it may be possible to go further.

"Everyone returns to camp and reorganizes the troops. This battle has just begun." Chen Mo said with a smile.

"Here!" The generals bowed and left.

…

On the other side, after Xu Huang returned to the camp, he felt something was wrong. If Chen Mo really had elites, why didn't he take the initiative to attack? He saw that he had intended to lure him into pursuit before? However, when the opponent retreated, it seemed as if they were trying hard to maintain their position. They were obviously worried about being chased by themselves. Could it be that there was some deception involved?

Yang Ping strode in, frowned and looked at Xu Huang and said: "Gongming, this first battle has been frustrated and morale is low. How do you explain it to the lord?"

His tone was no longer as polite as before, Xu Huang frowned, stood up and said: "Victory and defeat are common matters for military officers. Today's battle is just to test the enemy's strength, and I have never been frustrated."

Carefully recalling the course of the day's battle, Xu Huang had already discovered something fishy. The opponent's subsequent attack was actually a bit messy. It was just that the rain of arrows came suddenly, and the performance before and after made people feel disparity. The opponent regarded him as an elite, but in reality, even if he was not a mob, he was no better. Chen Mo was good at cunning tactics. Now it seemed that what he said was true and he was clearly bluffing himself.

"Ha, we lost more than 300 people in the first battle. If you keep fighting like this, within ten days, our army will be exhausted by that Chen Mo." Yang Ping said disdainfully.

Xu Huang frowned and said, "I have my own plans, so I won't bother General Yang!"

"Then we have to wait and see how General Xu defeats the enemy!" Yang Ping snorted coldly and walked away.

Xu Huang rubbed his temples with a headache. Yang Ping was still in the way, but he couldn't do anything about him. After all, he was Yang Feng's clan brother and couldn't move. He should think about how to deal with Chen Mo tomorrow, right?

Xu Huang did not dare to look down upon Chen Mo, even if the opponent was just a ragtag group of people, but today's performance showed that this ragtag group could still exert considerable fighting power in Chen Mo's hands.

Early the next morning, Xu Huang once again led his troops to challenge the battle. Standing on the camp gate, Chen Mo put up a pavilion with his hands and looked at the neatly arranged troops in the distance. Several cavalry generals were shouting in front of the formation. Chen Mo ignored these obscene remarks. The cavalry commander looked at Xu Huang's formation behind him. The two thousand people seemed to be arranged in twenty square formations just like yesterday, but it was different from yesterday. The twenty square formations were lined up in a row, but they were not completely In a straight line, he raised his eyebrows. Is this Xu Huang going to fight with him?

"This Xu Huang can't even form a formation!" Dian Wei stood beside Chen Mo and frowned.

"This is the Hunyuan Qi Formation. It seems simple, but it can be attacked and defended. The Hunyuan Yi is a very practical battle formation!" Chen Mo shook his head with a smile and explained to the generals.

"Then my lord, why don't you also set up a battle formation?" Dian Wei looked at Chen Mo and said.

"How can it be that easy?" Chen Mo shook his head and said with a smile: "This battle formation is set up by people. Only with special flags and drums and trumpets can it be effective. The most powerful thing about this battle formation is that It can be quickly changed according to occupation, and it can also keep the formation stable. It takes three to five months to set up a battle formation training, and different generals exert different powers. Therefore, this battle formation is usually set up. It’s twice the result with half the effort, and those in the general military are enough.”

"It's all fancy, but it turns out it's of no use at all?" Dian Wei curled his lips when he heard this. It sounded very profound, but it turned out to be of no use.

"It's not useless. This Hunyuan Yiqi formation is simple to set up. Among all kinds of battle formations, it is a universal formation. Any general can use it. It is very powerful if used well. But if there are only a few changes, it is not difficult to deal with, Bao Geng!" Chen Mo smiled and turned his head.

"I am here!" Bao Geng came to Chen Mo and bowed.

"You take the cavalry to challenge. Remember, don't rush directly into the enemy formation. Just run around the formation and shoot. I will see how his formation changes." Chen Mo smiled.

"Yes!" Bao Geng agreed, turned around and went down the gate, ordered the cavalry to go out of the camp, and went straight to Xu Huang's army.

Cavalry?

Xu Huang saw a cavalry rushing out of the enemy camp and frowned slightly. Chen Mo wanted to test the formation? He waved the flag and the drum sounded. The battle formation that was originally lined up in a line began to shrink into a circle. At the same time, the archers inside the formation began to draw their bows and arrows, waiting for Xu Huang's order to shoot.

Chen Mo stood at the gate. He could not see the opponent's flag signal, but he could hear the sound of drums and trumpets. Although Chen Mo rejected the piano among the other arts, he could not forget the bloody hands of his teacher, which was a shadow in Chen Mo's heart. However, this did not hinder his appreciation of music. Besides, drums and trumpets were also used for military command. How could Chen Mo not understand it?

On the battlefield, Bao Geng led the cavalry around Xu Huang's army. He wanted to get close from time to time, but was shot back by the opponent's arrow formation. After several attempts, he could not get close.

Several short battles ended in failure, and dozens of cavalry were lost. Bao Geng was helpless. The drums on Chen Mo's side had already sounded. This was the drum sound of Chen Mo's army leaving the camp, and it also told Bao Geng that it was time to retreat.

"My lord, I am incompetent!" Bao Geng came back with a dejected look on his face, bowed to Chen Mo and said, "Please forgive me, my lord!"

"The enemy's formation is tight and changes rigorously. This is not your fault. Besides, it was just a test. Let the soldiers come back to rest." Chen Mo smiled and shook his head.

"My lord, the enemy's formation is a bit difficult to break!" Cheng Fang came to Chen Mo and bowed.

"It's not difficult to break. You just need to remember to advance when you hear the drum and retreat when the gong sounds. Don't pay attention to other drum sounds!" Chen Mo smiled and said to Dian Wei on the side: "Go and call more drummers."

"Yes!" Dian Wei was a little confused, but he still went to pass the order and brought out all the drummers in the army.

On the other side, Xu Huang re-arranged the formation and looked at Chen Mo's army. A touch of excitement flashed in his eyes. Yesterday was a test, but today he has confirmed that Chen Mo's subordinates are not a mob, but they are all temporary miscellaneous soldiers. Such an army is not difficult to break! Today, perhaps I can defeat Chen Mo, the ever-victorious general.

"Dong Dong Dong Dong ~" Here, Chen Mo ordered the drums to sound, and the soldiers of the three armies began to move forward slowly under the command of Cheng Fang and others. Chen Mo's order was very simple, to advance when hearing the drums and retreat when sounding the gongs. Too complicated drums and horns could not be understood by the soldiers who had not undergone integrated training, so it was easier to command these people with simple orders.

"Lord, the drummers are here!" Dian Wei came to Chen Mo with a team of drummers and bowed.

"Dian Wei, you lead me to escort these drummers and follow the soldiers to go out. As long as the other side sounds the drums, you will immediately beat the drums." Chen Mo looked at Dian Wei and the drummers behind him and said.

"Lord, I don't know how to beat the drums?" Several musicians of the army looked at Chen Mo and said.

"Knock randomly, the more chaotic the better. I want to disrupt the opponent's drums, and you can watch the rest yourself!" Chen Mo smiled as he looked at the slowly advancing troops.

"Yes!" Several musicians were stunned when they heard this. They had been beating the war drums for so many years but this was the first time they had encountered such an order. However, they understood what Chen Mo meant. They wanted to mess up the opponent's drums. They took the order and led the drummers to board the drum cart and began to command.

On the other side, Xu Huang saw the soldiers and horses begin to advance. After carefully observing the formation, he was a little confused. Could it be that Chen Mo didn't even understand his formation? If so, Xu Huang was a little disappointed.

"Start the formation!" Xu Huang looked cold and slowly raised his hand and shouted.

"Dong Dong Dong ~ Woo ~" The sound of the drums and trumpets started at the same time, and almost at the same time, the drums sounded from the opponent's army: "Dong Dong ~ Dong ~ Dong ~"

In the chaotic Gu Shengzhong, Xu Huang's face changed, and he turned his head to look behind him. The originally rigorous formation was suddenly messed up.

"Not good!" Xu Huang's face turned ugly. He never dreamed that the battle formation he had practiced so hard would be broken by Chen Mo in this way. He felt aggrieved, but helpless. At this moment, he watched the enemy army slowly approaching, but he did not dare to engage in battle. He directly ordered the soldiers of the three armies to withdraw. This was also the weakness of the battle formation. Once it was disrupted, it would be worse than an ordinary army...
