The strongest devouring system in the Three Kingdoms

A flurry of people around them stood up as Chen Er approached. This had been a habit of Chen Er's for many years; whenever he personally led an army into battle, he would always inspect the troops before the decisive battle, firstly to check on their preparations, and secondly to boost morale.

Chen Er heard clearly what the musketeer named Lao Niu said. Of course, Chen Er didn't believe that Lao Niu was serious about not protecting his comrades; it was just a joke among the soldiers.

"Greetings, my lord." Old Niu awkwardly scratched his head and said to Chen Er.

"I heard everything you said," Chen Er said to the old ox, pretending he knew nothing. Hearing this, the old ox shuddered; he was doomed.

The soldiers around Chen Er were also sweating with anxiety when they heard his words. In fact, they all knew that Lao Niu was the most courageous man among them. Anyone else might back down, but Lao Niu would never back down. But how could they tell their lord this? Lao Niu's words were seriously undermining morale.

Seeing the increasingly uneasy expressions on the faces of the soldiers around him, Chen Er suddenly burst into laughter: "Hahaha!" Chen Er stepped forward and patted Lao Niu on the shoulder, saying, "I was just joking with you!"

Chen Er said to the soldiers around him, "I can tell from your expressions that you are all the most heroic soldiers in our autonomous region. I also rose from the ranks of a lowly soldier."

Chen Er's words weren't entirely wrong. He truly rose from the ranks of a common soldier. Given the power and influence of the imperial nobility, someone of Chen Er's family background, even if not holding a high-ranking position, could at least have become a mid-level military officer or a local official with real power. But Chen Er didn't. He started as a mere captain, crawling out of piles of corpses. Chen Er addressed the soldiers around him: "What are comrades? Comrades are brothers who share the same uniform! In my eyes, you are all my comrades, or rather, my comrades-in-arms! What does comrade-in-arms mean? It's a term I use to address my brothers who have fought alongside me. There's no difference in rank, only in position! So what kind of relationship is a comrade-in-arms? I can tell you clearly today: a comrade-in-arms is someone you would protect with your life. If one day you need me, Chen Er, to protect you with my body, then I, Chen Er, will stand before you without hesitation and protect you!"

"Old cow!"

"Here!" "Tell me, would you protect your comrades with your life?" Chen Er asked.

"I can!"

"Tell me, are you willing to entrust your back to your comrades?" Chen Er asked again.

"I can!"

"Good!" Chen Er exclaimed loudly, "You have shown me the military spirit of our autonomous region's soldiers!"

Chen Er walked to the center of the soldiers and said to them, "I have always adhered to one principle: never abandon, never give up, Zhao Yun!"

"Your subordinate is here!" Upon hearing Chen Er's summons, Zhao Yun quickly stepped forward.

Chen Er said to Zhao Yun, "Pass down the order: From this day forward, the creed of our Autonomous Region Army will be: Never abandon, never give up!"

"Yes, my lord!" Zhao Yun said excitedly.

As a young general, how could Zhao Yun not understand the hidden meaning in Chen Er's words?

Unwittingly, Chen Er had completed the pre-battle mobilization, and the mobilization was exceptionally thorough. Perhaps this was the so-called opportunity, an opportunity for Lao Niu, and also an opportunity for Chen Er.

"Form ranks! Attack!" Chen Er shouted.

"Army attack!"

The war begins.

With 3,000 swordsmen and shieldmen and 10,000 musketeers as the vanguard, and Zhao Yun and Xiahou Dun each leading 10,000 cavalry to provide support on both flanks, Chen Er took the initiative to launch an attack on the main force of the Turks.

"Great Chanyu! The Han people have launched an attack."

On the other side, Murong Feng, the new Great Khan of the Turkic Alliance, also received a report from his scouts. Indeed, this so-called new Turkic Alliance was orchestrated by Murong Feng, who had fled first during the Battle of Baideng. Under the guise of avenging Murong Huai and others, he gathered a large number of scattered Turkic tribesmen, and then, under the pretext of restoring tribal strength, united several still-powerful large tribes. Only then did everyone realize that Murong Feng was not just a brute; his hidden wisdom was no less than Murong Huai's. However, the Turks' strength had been largely destroyed in one battle by that fool, Aguli. The Murong family, the most intelligent family on the grasslands, now didn't know what to do. Although Murong Feng had gathered some more people, could these people really defeat the army of that so-called Northern Autonomous Region? It should be noted that this so-called Northern Autonomous Region only controlled two or three provinces of the empire.

Thinking of this, Murong Feng didn't want to think about it anymore. "Summon all warriors! Leave the camp! Prepare for battle!" Murong Feng said to the tribal chiefs and generals around him.

"Yes!"

Ugh! ...

The horns of the Turks echoed deep into the grasslands. This battle would truly determine the future of the grasslands. If the Turks were defeated again, they would be doomed forever. If the Turks realized this and fled, they might have a chance to turn the tide in the future. Did Murong Feng not know this? In fact, he did. However, the foundation upon which he rebuilt this new Turkic tribal alliance lay was that he had used the pretext of avenging Murong Huai and other Turkic heroes and restoring the strength of the Turks to win over the current alliance. If he ordered a direct withdrawal, this so-called new alliance would likely vanish immediately and be defeated one by one by the Han people. Rather than that, Murong Feng decided it was better to take a gamble.

"Attack!"

The clash between the Murong Iron Cavalry and the Youzhou Cavalry is once again uncertain, and it remains to be seen who will emerge victorious.

However, this clash may never have a result. Chen Er's task for Zhao Yun and Xiahou Dun was not to fight against the main force of the Turks, but to cover the infantry. After winning the direct confrontation, Zhao Yun and Xiahou Dun led the cavalry to intercept those ordinary Turkic tribesmen.

"Stop!"

Soon, the two armies could see each other. Chen Er ordered the entire army to halt. Although he was confident in his troops, he had to be cautious as they were mainly infantry fighting against the Turks, who were mainly cavalry. Chen Er was arrogant, but not conceited. He had a very clear understanding of the advantages and disadvantages of both sides. He would not use his weaknesses to clash with the enemy's strengths.
