The Nameless of the Common Clans

Muye, Zhang He's camp.

After nearly a year of construction, the camp has been built quite solidly. The scouts who patrol the camp every day come and go without hesitation. Zhang He can guarantee that in Chaoge and Muye, any enemy action will not be hidden from his eyes and ears.

"Report~"

A horseman entered the camp and rushed directly to the outside of Zhang He's tent. He turned over and dismounted, and was stopped by two guards.

"There is an urgent military situation, and it must be reported to the general as soon as possible!" The scout said in a deep voice.

"Go in!" Zhang He's deep voice came from the tent, and the two guards stepped aside to let the scout in.

"What military situation?" Zhang He looked at the scout in front of him and asked.

"Report to the general, a large number of troops have crossed the border in the direction of Hanoi, and the checkpoints set up by our army along the way have all been removed by the enemy." The scout bowed.

"Explore again, but if there is news, send it immediately, without any mistakes!" Zhang He stood up and said in a deep voice.

"Yes!" The scout bowed, turned around and walked away quickly.

Zhang He sighed after the scout left. Now Jizhou was in chaos, and the eldest son defected to Cao's camp, causing Cao's army to cross the river easily. Jizhou was already unable to resist. At this time, Chen Mo sent troops to attack. Although he had been prepared for it, Zhang He still felt heavy in his heart when the day came. This level was not easy to pass, especially when facing Chen Mo. Zhang He had no confidence at all whether he could stop him in Chaoge, but things had come to this point, and this battle seemed inevitable.

Zhang He did not participate in the Battle of Muye, but in that battle, Yuan Shao's 100,000 troops were defeated by Chen Mo's 60,000 troops. This result is considered a relatively high-level battle in recent years where the few defeated the many. As a famous general in Hebei, Zhang He is naturally confident in his ability, but facing Chen Mo, Zhang He could not make any guarantees, not to mention that Zhang He does not have 100,000 troops now, but has to face Chen Mo who is doing his best. Can he stop Chen Mo?

"Order, the three armies prepare for battle!" Putting on armor, Zhang He took the spear handed by his subordinates and shouted loudly.

Chen Mo himself may not be able to beat him, but Zhang He, the vanguard of the opponent, is not afraid. He will repel the vanguard of the opponent first and give Chen Mo a warning. No matter whether he can beat him or not, he cannot lose in momentum.

"Yes!"

Soon, the soldiers of the three armies gathered in the camp, and the scouts returned to the camp with more detailed information.

"General, the enemy has passed Luchang Mountain and is less than 20 miles away." The scout bowed.

"Do you know who is leading the troops?" Zhang He asked as he got on his horse.

"It is the Guanzhong general Wu Yi!"

Wu Yi?

Zhang He nodded and said, "Let's check again!"

"Yes!"

As Chen Mo's power continued to expand, the princes knew the information about some important generals under Chen Mo. Wu Yi was Chen Mo's trusted general and was from the same hometown as Chen Mo. Since Luoyang, he has been with Chen Mo to fight against the Gepi bandits in Runan, the bandits in the Heluo area, and the Baibo bandits in Hedong. Later, he led the army to fight against Li Jue and the Xiliang army. It's not that he is dazzling, but he rarely loses. He has been through hundreds of battles and has rich experience in commanding troops. He is not an easy character to deal with.

Chen Mo actually made this man the vanguard general. It seems that Chen Mo is leading the army to fight this time.

Zhang He felt a little depressed. He didn't know whether the imperial court would send reinforcements for the letter he sent out before. The situation in Jizhou was critical now, and troops were needed everywhere. Even if there were reinforcements, there would probably not be many.

Luchang Mountain?

Zhang He had already known the terrain nearby very well. After calculating the enemy's position, he led the army out of the camp, ready to seize the key points first, and waited for Wu Yi to come over, so as to give the enemy a warning. Even if he couldn't defeat the enemy, he had to dampen his spirit.

On the other side, after the Wu Yi army passed Luchang Mountain, the scouts of both sides had already started fighting. The scale was not large, and they intercepted and killed each other's scouts. The atmosphere of the war was indeed gradually getting stronger.

"General, Zhang He led his army out of the camp and is lining up in front!" The scout came to the central army on horseback and reported to Wu Yi.

"Zhang He is a famous general in Hebei, proficient in military tactics and brave and good at fighting. You must not be careless!" Wang Biao rode to Wu Yi's side and said in a deep voice.

"Go and explore again!" Wu Yi nodded and looked at the scout.

"Yes!" The scout took the order and left.

Wu Yi looked at Wang Biao and said, "This Zhang He is capable, but I am the vanguard this time, and it is inevitable to fight with Zhang He. Why not take this opportunity to see what Zhang He is capable of."

Wang Biao nodded, Wu Yi knew it was good. This battle was related to the future ownership of Jizhou, and Zhang He was a hurdle that must be overcome.

The army continued to march for several miles, and saw a group of people waiting in formation in the distance. Wu Yi waved his hand, and the army slowly stopped. Before they began to form a formation, they saw three groups of people from the other army coming to kill, obviously wanting to disrupt Wu Yi's formation.

"Cheng Fang, Zheng Tu, each of you leads a group of soldiers to stop the two troops. Uncle Wang, you quickly lead a group of soldiers to shoot arrows. Bai Piao and Han Kai, you two lead the troops to attack from both sides and leave this group of soldiers to me!" Wu Yi snorted coldly. Although this was a test, it was also a contest. The contest was about the control and response of both sides to the army. Even if the opponent was known as a famous general in Hebei, he, Wu Yi, was now also a famous general.

"Yes!"

The generals responded to the order. Before the battle formation was opened, Zheng Tu and Cheng Fang each led a group of soldiers to stop the two soldiers coming from the other side's flanks. At the same time, Bai Piao and Han Kai led their troops to attack from both sides, trying to encircle the group of soldiers rushing straight to the center. Wang Biao led a group of soldiers to form a battle formation in front of the army and shoot arrows.

Zhang He was ready to move, but Wu Yi had already prepared for this move. Seeing the opponent's attempt, he responded without any error.

In front of the two armies, eight troops called out to each other, and the drums and trumpets of both sides sounded at the same time. Seven troops were soon entangled in one place and fought fiercely.

The soldiers of Guanzhong were brave, and Chen Mo's military system made the soldiers dare to die, and they fought bravely. Although the soldiers of Jizhou were not bad, they did not have the momentum of the soldiers of Guanzhong. In addition, they were outnumbered, and soon they were in disarray, especially the two troops surrounded by Han Kai and Bai Pi, who were killed and abandoned their armor.

In Zhang He's camp, watching this scene, Zhang He ordered his troops to withdraw, but the soldiers of Guanzhong kept chasing and killing the enemy in front of the enemy's formation before quickly retreating at the sound of their own trumpets.

Zhang He ordered the defeated soldiers to withdraw from the two wings and frowned at the enemy's army formation. It was not surprising that his own troops were defeated by a small number of troops, but Wuyi's rapid control of the army and the bravery of the Guanzhong soldiers made Zhang He feel pressured.

It didn't take long for Wuyi to respond after seeing the troops from here, and it has only been a moment since the two sides fought. Wuyi has already arranged the battle formation. At least in terms of military management, Wuyi can be said to be quite solid. Even Zhang He dared not say that he was better than Wuyi.

What's more fatal is the bravery of the Guanzhong soldiers. If the central route is a small number against a large number, the two flanks are almost the same in terms of military strength, but they were defeated by the opponent in less than a moment. The morale and fighting spirit of the soldiers on both sides are far behind.

Moreover, the enemy was about to rush to the front of the battle formation. Looking at the momentum, Zhang He had no doubts even if they rushed in directly. However, the enemy quickly returned to the camp as soon as the horn sounded. This military discipline was amazing. The Guanzhong Army was not only fierce in combat, but also strict in military discipline. With such an army, Zhang He somewhat understood why Yuan Shao's 100,000 troops were defeated so miserably.

Not to mention all of them, half of Chen Mo's army had such a level, and the two armies would be able to take advantage of the battle.

Zhang He rode out of the battle formation and came to the front of the two armies. He shouted loudly: "Where is the martial righteousness, I am Zhang He, can I see it?"

"General, this Zhang He is very strong in martial righteousness, beware of fraud!" Cheng Fang said in a deep voice.

"No problem!" Wu Yi waved his hand and said, "The enemy commander is here in person. If we don't meet him, wouldn't it weaken our army's momentum?"

He then rode out and stopped twenty steps in front of Zhang He. At this distance, even if Zhang He wanted to attack, Wu Yi had enough time to turn his horse back to the camp. Moreover, Zhang He was the commander of the three armies and generally would not personally go into battle to kill the enemy.

"I am Wu Yi, and I greet General Zhang." Wu Yi saluted Zhang He from a distance.

"I don't know why the general violated my border?" Zhang He looked at Wu Yi and asked with a frown.

"This whole world is Han territory. Yuan Shao wrongly established a false emperor. Why can't we come to conquer him?" Wu Yi said coldly.

"The emperor of Luoyang is not the legitimate emperor. Liu Neng is just a commoner. How can he be the emperor?" Zhang He stared at Wu Yi coldly and said in a deep voice: "I hope the general will not make another mistake. If we withdraw our troops now, our two families can still be friendly countries."

"What a joke! Have you ever heard that there is no two suns in the sky and no two masters in a country? Today, our army is going out to conquer Jizhou. It is in line with justice. The general should surrender early to avoid a bad end when the city is broken in the future!" Wu Yi said coldly.

"So the general is unwilling to withdraw his troops!" Zhang He said grimly.

"If you are willing to surrender, wouldn't you be able to avoid a war?" Wu Yi said proudly: "General is a good general of the time, and my master also admires him. If the general is willing to give up the dark and join the light, it is not a problem to be awarded a title and become a general in the future. Why do you have to sacrifice your life for the child of the Yuan family?"

"Crazy, my master has been a minister for five generations. Who are you? How dare you say such crazy words?" Zhang He was furious and shouted.

"Five generations of ministers?" Wu Yi said disdainfully: "First, Yuan Gonglu usurped the Han Dynasty and established himself, and then Yuan Benchu ​​supported the false emperor. Yuan Gonglu has become a dry bone in the tomb. Fortunately, Yuan Benchu ​​died early, otherwise, he would be a prisoner of my master at this moment! Now there are only two children left, but they are fighting each other endlessly. I advise you to surrender early, so as not to be defeated by me one day and ruin your title of Hebei famous general."

"Then let's see if you have the means!" Zhang He knew that the other party was provoking him. Just now, they were testing each other. After being defeated for a while, if he forced to go out now, he would be humiliating himself. He snorted coldly and turned his horse's head and said, "Let's see how you can defeat me!"

Wu Yi looked at the direction where Zhang He left, tightened the knife in his hand, and finally gave up, turned his horse's head and said, "Let you know the bravery of my Guanzhong soldiers!"

The two main generals returned to their camps, but did not start a battle. Zhang He slowly retreated and returned to the camp for defense. Wu Yi observed the enemy's formation and saw no opportunity to take advantage of it, so he ordered his men to set up camp and wait for the next day to attack the camp.
