He ordered Xu Huang to fight Ma Chao, and at the same time arranged a four-way ambush.
After the arrangements were made, Bai Xiaowen immediately got the prompt:
"Xun You's special skill: Strange trigger."
"The surprise troops will gain 12% attack speed and 12% movement speed bonus!"
The so-called surprise troops refer to four ambush troops.
Bai Xiaowen nodded secretly. Although Xun You was not like Xun Yu in that he had a heaven-defying bonus for the monarch, he still had a significant role as a strategist.
The Xun family of Yingchuan is really full of treasures.
Bai Xiaowen couldn't help but think about the missing Xun Chen. He wondered where this former Yuan Shao mastermind had gone. He had to ask his uncle and nephew Xun Yu when he had time.
It is worth mentioning that Xun You's strange strategy can have a bonus of up to 25%, but it is related to the degree of "strangeness" of the strategy. The strategy of ambush on all sides is just an ordinary strategy for Xun You, so the bonus is
The success is average.
Two armies confront each other.
Bai Xiaowen spent another 100 power points to cast Insight on Ma Chao. It turned out that after a few days, Ma Chao's "Avenged State" was a little weaker, with 7 points of strength and 8 points of agility reduced.
Standing behind the ice wall, Bai Xiaowen said loudly: "Ma Chao! You saw that my camp was established overnight, which shows that God has blessed me. To rebel against me is to betray the imperial court! Are you still stubborn? Put down your weapons and surrender, and you still won't.
Lost the title of Marquis!"
Ma Chao said sharply: "Tie Yuan! You used Taoist magic to build the city. Do you think I will be afraid of you? With this kind of magic, you are indeed right to murder my father!"
Bai Xiaowen: "..."
Ma Chao came with a gun, and Xu Huang jumped on his horse to greet him.
For more than a dozen rounds, Xu Huang hesitated, made a feint with his ax, turned around and walked away.
The general won the battle, and the morale of Ma Chao's army increased. Pound ordered the drums to be beaten, and the Xiliang soldiers led by cavalry and followed by infantry, and massacred them.
Suddenly, drums were beating loudly in all directions, and four armies and horses rushed out: Zhang Liao on the east, Zhang Xiu on the west, Han Meng on the south, and Gao Lan on the north. Each army shouted to capture Ma Chao alive.
Yu Jin's large shield soldiers blocked the way ahead, and the Xiliang soldiers were so anxious that they could not attack the Bingcheng camp.
Being attacked from the front and back, the Xiliang soldiers were in chaos.
Spirit World Rules Tips:
"Your strategy: If the ambush is successful on all sides, the morale of the Xiliang army will be reduced by 20 points (on average)."
Only then did Ma Chao realize that he had fallen into the trap, and just as he was about to turn his horse around, Xu Huang rushed over again and stopped the fight.
Ma Chao fought hard, but Bai Xiaowen had already arranged for four generals including Le Jin, Han Qiong, Lu Kuang, and Lu Xiang to participate in the siege. Even though Ma Chao had three heads and six arms, he couldn't resist the revolving carnage of so many generals!
Pang De brandished his sword, killing the soldiers blocking his way, and rushed over to meet Ma Chao.
Ma Chao then got an opening, fired a feint, turned his horse and walked away. At the same time, he gathered the cavalry around him, launched a charge, and tried to leave the battlefield!
The escape direction chosen by Ma Chao was not blocked by Yu Jin's large shield soldiers.
With the bonus of the charging hegemonic body, Ma Chao was the first to break out of the encirclement, followed by a group of Xiliang cavalry, all wrapped in the red light of the hegemonic body, forming a sharp formation.
Behind them, the Xiliang cavalry and infantry followed one after another and finally broke through.
Bai Xiaowen led his troops to pursue him until they reached the Xiliang army's stronghold, before withdrawing his troops and returning.
This time the Xiliang army failed, and tens of thousands of people were injured. Although no bones or muscles were injured, all the energy to raise the army in the name of their father's hatred was lost, and their morale was quite low.
In other words, only Ma Chao, who possesses the master skill of "Charging the Formation", can fight his way out under a tight siege. If it were anyone else, it would be as simple as losing 10,000 soldiers.
…
"Ma Chao is really powerful. He actually ran away with such a good opportunity." Xu Huang, who was dressing up his injuries in Bai Xiaowen's military camp, said.
Most of Xu Huang's injuries were scratches, which were not serious. With his lord-level physique, he could recover within a few hours after bandaging to stop the bleeding.
The other generals nodded and asked them to swap roles with Ma Chao. On today's battlefield, they thought it would be difficult to escape.
Xun You said: "Ma Chao is just a brave man. Today's battle has completely wiped out the Xiliang army's spirit. My lord's plan can be implemented quickly."
Bai Xiaowen said with a smile: "We will wait until Ma Chao's new army reinforcements arrive." Now he rewarded the meritorious generals and promoted Xu Huang to General Pingxi.
…
Ma Chao Camp.
Ma Chao was hit by two arrows and had scratches on his arms. The military medical officer was bandaging him.
"Today's situation is so dangerous." Pang De shook his head repeatedly, "It's incredible that Yuan Xi was able to dig out sand and build a camp overnight."
Ma Chao snorted: "Yuan Thief is well versed in sorcery, so Zhang Jue was killed by him, so what's the wonder?"
The morale of the generals in the camp was low.
Suddenly someone reported that Han Sui had raised 20,000 troops and came to assist in the battle; Xiliang Qiang troops also increased their troops by 20,000 and were on the march and would arrive tomorrow.
Ma Chao was overjoyed and stood up suddenly and said: "Our army failed this time because our troops were weaker than Yuan's thieves! Now that we have added 40,000 new troops, we will definitely be able to defeat the thieves." He immediately went outside the camp in person to greet Han Sui.
Han Sui saw the white gauze blood stains on Ma Chao's body and was surprised: "My dear nephew, I haven't seen you for several days. What happened?"
Ma Chao then told the story of the war in the past few days, including "Yuan Xi" crossing Pubanjin at night, building an ice city overnight, and using an ambush plan to plot against his own side, etc.
Han Sui looked at the 20,000 soldiers he had brought with him, with a hint of worry on his face, and whispered: "Although Yuan Xi is young, he is very resourceful and has Taoist skills to assist him. My nephew, should you think about it again?"
Can the two families be reconciled? After all, the death of the sworn brother may not have been his fault."
Ma Chao became angry: "Why did my uncle say this? Is it because he is afraid of Yuan Xi's military power and wants to betray his father's alliance?"
Han Sui quickly said: "I just don't want my sworn brother to stop smoking (note). Meng Qi doesn't doubt it."
Ma Chao's face looked better now, and he led Han Sui into the military camp and held a banquet to welcome him.
…
That night, Han Sui's army camp.
Han Qi, also known as Camille, described the war in the past few days to Han Sui in detail.
The worry on Han Sui's brows was even more lingering.
Camille said: "During the day, I saw how Ma Chao treated his father. He didn't respect you as an uncle at all. Why should my father tolerate him all the time?"
Han Sui sighed: "His father and I are sworn brothers, how can I bear to abandon him?"
Camille said: "Father, do you think Ma Chao can defeat Yuan Xi even if he adds 40,000 new troops?"
Before Han Sui could answer, Camille continued:
"I have investigated and found out that since Yuan Xi raised his troops in Youzhou, he single-handedly conquered Liaodong and defeated Zhangjiao in the field; he attacked thousands of miles, went deep behind enemy lines, broke through Xudu, and returned with the emperor and hundreds of officials, treating Cao's army as if it were nothing!
"Later, when Yuan Shao died in battle, he took advantage of the situation and took over the military power of his two brothers in a few days, stabilizing Hebei. Cao Cao invaded again, but was defeated by him and lost his troops. He fled south in a hurry, and finally died in Changyuan.
"Father, Yuan Xi's strategic skills are much better than Ma Chao's! He also has many civil servants and powerful generals under his command. Ma Chao is obsessed with wanting to use the soldiers of Xiliang Province to compete with the Central Plains army. It is really a whim and a mantis's arm is like a chariot! Sooner or later, he will be defeated.
Why would my father put the lives of our whole family on his shoulders?"
Camille's remarks were prepared for a long time. They are all facts and are quite convincing.
Han Sui remained silent.
Camille then took out a letter, handed it to Han Sui and said, "Yuan Xi sent someone to secretly send a letter to me. Would you like father to take a look?"
