The Nameless of the Common Clans

"What is Cao Cao going to do!" Early in the morning, Ma Chao looked at the smoke signals rising from more than a dozen camps in the distance, and was a little confused. This signal represented that Cao's army was going out. Isn't it too exaggerated?

Just because he scolded Cao Ren and Xiahou Yuan yesterday, Cao Cao wanted to send out all his troops. Isn't this too exaggerated? That old thief Cao Cao is so impatient?

After a moment of stagnation, Ma Chao hurriedly ordered his generals to set off the smoke signals. No matter what, if Cao's army really came out, he would definitely not be able to withstand it.

"Mengqi, go and see first and help defend!" Pang De and Zhang Ji found Ma Chao and discussed.

Chen Mo's troops could not be assembled for a while, and even if Cao Cao's entire army was dispatched, he could not break in for a while. These cavalrymen who were responsible for rushing to help could just harass and buy time for Chen Mo. This was also the strategy set by Chen Mo at the beginning.

"Okay!" Ma Chao nodded, which was exactly what he wanted. He immediately gathered the cavalry, joined forces with Pang De and Zhang Xiu, and led a large group of cavalry to attack and contain Cao's army.

In Yecheng, Chen Mo also received reports from his subordinates, and the signal of Cao's army's invasion sounded on the front line.

Last night, I thought Cao Cao was about to gather his troops for a decisive battle, but today I received the news. I really had a plan!

"All the generals, assemble, follow me out of the city to fight." After Chen Mo ordered people to send Zhen Mi to Henei, he ordered the soldiers of the three armies to assemble and go out of the city to fight. Cao Cao guessed correctly. From the beginning, Chen Mo had never thought of relying on Yecheng for defense. That was the last resort.

In Yecheng, the wolf smoke rose, which represented the signal for the assembly of the camps. It quickly spread to all directions. The soldiers of the 128 camps quickly assembled to the east of Yecheng. The scene was quite spectacular, but orderly.

Cao Cao stood on the shaft of the carriage, looking at the scene of beacon fires in the distance, turned his head to look at Guo Jia, shook his head and sighed: "Feng Xiao really got it right."

"My Lord!" Xiahou Yuan came to Cao Cao's carriage and saluted Cao Cao, saying: "Why not take this opportunity to win a battle first?"

It will take time for Chen Mo's army to assemble, but Cao's army started to assemble in the middle of the night. In this regard, Cao Cao has an advantage. If he breaks a few camps of Chen Mo first, even if he can't win, he can suppress Chen Mo in morale.

"Yes!" Cao Cao nodded. This is a war, and there is no etiquette.

At that moment, Xiahou Yuan and Cao Ren went to the battle, wanting to break a few camps of Chen Mo first and take the lead for Cao's army.

But as soon as the army went out, Ma Chao, Pang De, and Zhang Xiu led the cavalry to rush over.

"Another cowardly rat!" Ma Chao was excited when he saw the troops led by Xiahou Yuan and Cao Ren. He led his troops to charge. Pang De and Zhang Xiu saw this and led their troops to attack from both wings, preventing Cao's army from fully engaging Ma Chao.

Seeing this, Xiahou Yuan and Cao Ren quickly formed a circle to resist the enemy.

"Cao thief, do you dare to come out and fight!" Seeing that the other side formed a circle, Ma Chao led his troops directly past the two troops and came to the front of Cao's army. He led his troops to throw spears at the other side. After most of the spears were blocked by the opponent's shields, he stopped his horse and shouted at Cao's army.

"Who is this?" Cao Cao asked, looking at Ma Chao, who was still wearing a patch on his shoulder but was still aggressive.

"This is Ma Chao from Xiliang, Ma Mengqi. In the past, Han Sui and Ma Teng were defeated, Han Sui died, Ma Teng joined Chen Mo and became the governor of Jincheng, but this Ma Chao followed Chen Mo to fight in the south and the north." Cheng Yu laughed.

"Interesting! There are really all kinds of people under Bo Dao's command." Cao Cao nodded, looking at Ma Chao holding his horse with one arm and shouting in front of the battle, which was a bit funny. He remembered that Xiahou Yuan and Cao Ren came back to report yesterday. It was this person. He pointed at Ma Chao and said, "Who will go to dampen his spirit?"

"I am willing to go!" A general responded and led his troops to kill Ma Chao, but he saw that Ma Chao was injured and wanted to take advantage of the opportunity.

"Come on!" Ma Chao was overjoyed when he saw someone coming to fight, and he led his troops to rush to the opponent.

Two thousand cavalrymen are not many, but the opponent's troops are about the same number, and this general is obviously not Cao Ren and Xiahou Yuan. Seeing Ma Chao coming, he did not stop, but directly led his troops to kill.

To be honest, it was true. In this era, the main role of cavalry was harassment. They were no match for infantry in frontal combat. But that also depended on which side the cavalry was. The Xiliang cavalry were equipped with horse armor, and the sturdiness of the horse armor was stronger than the armor on many generals.

Seeing that the other side wanted to fight head-on, Ma Chao was overjoyed and led the cavalry to rush forward.

"Crack~"

The spears that were thrust out broke into pieces, some stabbed people, and the knights on horseback were directly knocked down and trampled into meat paste by the cavalry that followed. But more of them rushed past, and the sturdy horse armor broke the spears, rushed into the crowd, and chopped left and right with sabers, forcibly rushing out a bloody path in Cao's army, and actually crushed Cao's army to collapse in a head-on confrontation.

Cao Cao was a little surprised when he saw this, and he also saw the extraordinaryness of this cavalry, and hurriedly shouted: "Zihe, hold the horses for me!"

"Yes!" Cao Chun had already assembled the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, and he immediately agreed to it beside Cao Cao, and led 800 Tiger and Leopard Cavalry to charge out and meet Ma Chao.

Seeing this, Ma Chao thought it was just an ordinary cavalry, and immediately rushed forward fiercely.

But this cavalry was the most powerful Tiger and Leopard Cavalry under Cao Cao's command, how could it be so easy to defeat it? They also wore horse armor, and the soldiers were like the trap camp, eliminated layer by layer, and could be said to be the elite among the elite.

The two troops collided and fought for a while. It turned out that the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, which had a smaller number of people, had the upper hand and split the cavalry led by Ma Chao into two.

Ma Chao did not expect that Cao Cao had such a group of troops. After the two troops passed each other, he looked at the remaining soldiers around him and was a little surprised. He roared and rushed to the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry again. This time, he was defeated even more miserably. More than half of his cavalry was lost and was defeated by the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.

Ma Chao did not expect that Cao Cao had such a group of troops. Seeing his troops disintegrating, he was helpless and had to take the remaining troops to bypass and let Pang De and Zhang Xiu come to clean up the mess.

Although the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry was strong, it had a head-on fight with Ma Chao's troops and suffered a lot of losses. Seeing Zhang Xiu and Pang De leading their troops to kill, Cao Cao hurriedly ordered the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry to withdraw and ordered Cao Hong to lead the infantry to resist the enemy.

Before the battle officially started, Ma Chao on Chen Mo's side was defeated. In theory, it seemed that Cao Cao won, but the three cavalry units cooperated with each other and delayed Cao's army, buying time for Chen Mo.
