There was a loud roar of gold behind him, and Ma Chao stopped taunting him. With the last words behind him, Ma Chao returned to his formation with his head held high like a proud rooster.
"Overlord, I will finally apologize."
Seeing Taishi Ci with a shameful face and bleeding profusely, Xiang Ji could only comfort him with words.
This is really a case of one thing defeating another.
Taishi Ci was worthy of fighting against strong men like Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, but he suffered a big loss against Ma Chao, who was not as strong as them but had extremely fast shooting speed.
What else can Xiang Ji say about this?
Ma De, you miscalculated. I should have asked Tai Shi Ci to fight Zhang Xiu and left Ma Chao to Zhao Yun.
Xiang Ji couldn't really say he was satisfied with the result of today's battle.
Three generals went out to fight, winning two and losing one, and even captured Zhang He.
But the problem is that although Zhao Yun won, he was also seriously injured. In the end, even if he won, he didn't win.
Although Xiang Ji didn't understand why Lu Bu would ask for gold and withdraw his troops, it was indeed not the best time for a decisive battle now.
"Send the order, all troops return to camp."
Although this battle is taking place in Hebei, for Xiang Ji and Lu Bu, it is a battle related to the future hegemony of the two countries.
Whoever wins will become the overlord of the north.
This is a battle where the fate of the country is at stake.
Therefore, neither Lu Bu nor Xiang Ji dared to launch a general attack easily in this battle.
"Military advisor, look at this Xiliang army, do you have any clever plans to defeat it?"
After returning to the formation, the first thing Xiang Ji did was to find Pang Tong.
If Lu Bu could be defeated by a trick, Xiang Ji would never mind.
After all, the combat effectiveness of Lu Bu's 100,000 Xiliang cavalry is absolutely not weak.
If there is really a head-on fight, I am afraid that even if Chu wins in the end, it will also suffer heavy losses.
"Overlord, Lu Bu's army is well-organized, his armor is well-equipped, and his morale is high. There is really nothing the general can do to him in this matter.
but......"
Xiang Ji was not very disappointed when he heard that Pang Tong said there was no chance of success. After all, he didn't have much hope for the result.
After so many years of fighting, Xiang Ji still understands this point.
The so-called strategies are also auxiliary measures. What really determines the outcome is hard power.
But just when Xiang Ji had given up hope, Pang Tong unexpectedly failed, which left Xiang Ji speechless.
Why can’t you finish what you have to say in one breath? What’s the point?
"Commander, if you have any questions, just say it. As long as it can help my army win, then everything will be no problem."
Seeing Pang Tong who was hesitant to speak, Xiang Ji was helpless.
These ancient people, especially these smart people, can't say anything directly. They always play the trick of hesitating to speak. What should they do?
Seeing that Xiang Ji was impatient, Pang Tong organized his speech.
There's nothing I can do, I'm afraid you'll be angry if I say this...
"Overlord, Pang Tong does have a plan. Although it may not be possible to defeat the Xiliang army in one battle, it can definitely dampen its spirit and discourage its courage."
Is there really a trick? Can Pang Tong do it?
"Military advisor, what's your clever plan? Come to me as soon as possible!"
Xiang Ji was not in the mood to stand up to Pang Tong, so he had better speak up as soon as he could.
"Overlord, today Tong Guan's horse Chao is extremely arrogant. After he defeated General Tai Shi Ci, he became even more arrogant.
It is believed that our army can take advantage of this to deceive him into defeat and lure him into an ambush by our army.
As long as the plan is proper, I believe that even if the foundation of the Xiliang Army cannot be damaged, its spirit will be greatly missed!
But in this case, General Zhao Yun will be wronged..."
Xiang Ji understood, what this guy meant was to let Zhao Yun cheat him? Then he deceived Ma Chao.
The most ideal thing is that this guy has a group of cavalry behind him. Basically, as long as this guy falls into the trap, Ma Chao and his cavalry can basically stay here.
At the same time, Xiang Ji also knew why Pang Tong stopped talking.
This is obviously asking Zhao Yun to be the bait.
However, this is nothing in Xiang Ji's opinion. As long as he can capture Ma Chao and dampen the Xiliang army's morale, it is still worth it.
Others dare not say it yet, but they still have great confidence in Zhao Yun and Xiang Ji.
This guy is known as a role model for soldiers!
Sure enough, when Xiang Ji described Pang Tong's plan to Zhao Yun, Zhao Yun agreed without a word.
As for designing the location for the ambush? That couldn't be easier.
Today is the first encounter between the two armies, so both Xiang Ji and Lu Bu led their armies to confront each other.
But everyone knows that the outcome of this battle will definitely not be decided in one or two days.
No one dares to launch a general offensive without complete assurance.
After all, the impact of this battle was so far-reaching that Xiang Jijian or Lu Bu could only be more cautious.
Now, after the two armies have retreated, a full ten miles of empty space has been left.
At present, Xiang Ji's army is gathered in Guangzong, while Lu Bu's army is gathered in Wei County, which is ten miles away.
After all, who wants to camp in the wild when there are towns?
What's more, with the protection of the city wall, you can at least avoid the possibility of being attacked by the opponent at night, right?
Shu said that Zhao Yun, who was used as a bait, had led five thousand Canglong Riders outside Wei County.
As for why you want to lead five thousand Canglong Riders?
This couldn't be simpler. You can't just ride a horse and call for formation, right?
Even if you call the formation, Ma Chao also comes out, and then if you pretend to lose, will you lure Ma Chao alone?
Just kidding, Ma Chao is not Lu Bu, so what's the point of tempting him alone?
Instead, Zhao Yun brought his men and horses to fake defeat. If Ma Chao wanted to pursue him, he would have to bring at least twice as many men as Zhao Yun's men, right?
Why don't you use this strategy to seduce Lu Bu?
After all, Lu Bu is the King of Qin. If he is to be tempted, Xiang Ji must do it himself.
If this can successfully seduce everything, everything will be fine, but what if it doesn't?
Wouldn't that actually lower his own morale? Pang Tong is not that stupid. Pang Tong would not dare to let Xiang Yu try it himself in order to reduce the success rate.
"Ma Chao! Do you dare to go out of the city to fight!?"
Zhao Yun stood on horseback under the city wall of Wei County. Zhao Yun, carrying a gentian gun, shouted loudly towards the city wall.
You know, the purpose of this battle is to lure Ma Chao.
Who makes this guy crazy enough?
"King Qin, our last general, Ma Chao, invites you to fight! If Chao dares to issue a military order, Zhao Yun will be captured in this battle!"
Yesterday's victory made Ma Chao forget the tragic situation of his previous fight with Zhao Yun.
Now, Ma Chao just wants to capture Zhao Yun and then seize the horse treasure from his crotch.
Which general wouldn't be envious of this BMW?
"Okay! The lonely king gives you 10,000 cavalry. You must capture Zhao Yun and his soldiers!"
Similarly, Lu Bu was also dazzled by Ma Chao's victory yesterday.
Hum hum, Xiang Ji, today I will let you, the lonely king, taste what it feels like to lose an army and lose a general!
