Pang Tong offered a plan and asked Cao Shuo to lead the troops to meet the battle.

Cao Shuo led the team forward for more than ten miles, and sure enough, he saw a banner in the distance.

Flag hunting, there is no end in sight.

If he hadn't gotten the news in advance, Cao Shuo wouldn't have been able to tell how many people had come.

Seeing the army coming in the distance, the soldiers of the Ma Teng Army they gathered along the way all looked flustered.

Some even thought of running.

"General Ma." Looking at Ma Teng on the side, Cao Shuo asked, "The soldiers have no will to fight, can you control it?" ”

Glancing back at the soldiers who had no fighting spirit, Ma Teng said reluctantly: "I'll try it." ”

"Tell the soldiers that I will fight and that all they have to do is to line up first, and withdraw as soon as the enemy charges out." Cao Shuo said: "Don't mess up when you withdraw, divide into two groups to avoid the Chinese army, otherwise we won't be able to win this one." ”

"Isn't it too risky for Childe to ride into battle with only dragon patterns?" Ma Teng said uneasily: "If I don't encourage the soldiers, maybe their morale will be a little higher." ”

"General Ma has led the troops for many years, how could he not know that they have long lost their morale?" Cao Shuo smiled slightly: "If it's just low morale, agitation may be useful, but in the face of a group of walking dead, no matter how impassioned they are, they can't ignite their hope of survival." ”

"The best way to make them willing to fight is to let them see with their own eyes the strong combat effectiveness of our army." Cao Shuo continued: "As long as they witness the dragon pattern cavalry fight, I think there will be many people who are willing to pick up their weapons and go into battle together. ”

"I see." Ma Teng replied and arched his hand to Cao Shuo: "Don't worry, Son, I will definitely not let them mess up." ”

Ma Teng turned around and faced the unmotivated soldiers: "Soldiers, the enemy army is coming, and Gongzi ordered me to lead you to confront them." ”

Hearing that Cao Shuo had asked them to confront the enemy, the soldiers who had already panicked looked nervous.

At this time, what they think about most is not how to kill the enemy, nor how to build credit, but how to escape from the battlefield and save their lives.

The nervous expressions of the soldiers confirmed Cao Shuo's judgment.

Ma Teng frowned slightly: "I know that you are scared of being beaten, and you are instigated!" But Childe also said that you don't need to go into battle to fight, once the enemy launches an attack, you immediately retreat and go around behind Childe from both wings. ”

Just let them go into battle to confront the enemy, but they didn't want them to fight, and the soldiers looked at each other one by one and didn't dare to believe that everything was true.

"Are you still suspicious of that?" Ma Teng asked.

"Old general, if you don't fight in battle, how can there be such a good thing?" A Xiliang army said with a bitter face: "We know that this time we are dead......

Ma Teng glared at him fiercely: "I have led the army for many years, and no one has ever dared to speak like this in front of me." Just like you bears, let alone let you go into battle to fight, even if you are just sent to death, you are not qualified! ”

He reprimanded him and lowered his head one by one.

"The soldiers I led have never been as afraid of death as you." Ma Teng's face was full of anger, and his tone was much harsher than just now: "But I don't blame you this time, who wants you to experience a big defeat before." Morale must be very low after a big defeat, and it is really difficult for you to go into battle to kill the enemy. ”

Thousands of soldiers lowered their heads one by one, not daring to look at Ma Teng more.

The Ma Jiaxi Liang Army has always been known for its toughness.

But this time they fought with Han Sui, but they lost, and they lost without dignity, like a group of lost dogs with their tails between their legs.

The flags coming from the opposite side are getting closer and closer.

Ma Teng glanced back and shouted to the soldiers: "You still have a little courage to follow me to the front line, if your legs are weak and you can't walk, you can't go." When this battle is over, you can get out of here! ”

Throwing off this sentence, Ma Teng turned around and left.

The soldiers of the Xiliang Army looked at each other, and some dragged their weapons to follow.

Some followed, and others followed.

One by one, they drooped their heads, not at all like they were about to go into battle to meet the enemy, but like a group of lambs who knew they were going to die but were waiting to be killed.

Xiliang Jun walked by, and the dragon-patterned cavalry soldiers frowned one by one.

As the elite of a hundred battles around Cao Shuo, the dragon pattern rider has not experienced hard battles.

They were few in number, but they were never afraid.

Not to mention that there are 30,000 people on the other side, even if it is 300,000, as long as Cao Shuo gives an order, they will still reunite and move forward.

But the Xiliang Army, which followed Ma Teng to the array, made them smell a strong smell of defeat.

Ma Teng led the soldiers of the Xiliang Army out of the battle, and lined up in front of Cao Shuo and the dragon pattern cavalry.

The officers and men of the Xiliang Army clenched their weapons one by one, but they were not looking forward to fighting, but expecting Ma Teng to be true to his word and give the order to retreat when the enemy launched an attack.

Standing in front of the formation, looking at the enemy troops who were getting closer and closer, Ma Teng's face was very ugly.

Cao Shuo's strategy was indeed safe for him and the Xiliang army, but he put the dragon pattern horse and himself, as the son of the Cao family, in a situation of fighting to the death.

And in the face of all this, he does not have the slightest ability to change the status quo.

Although the Xiliang army behind him lined up in formation, their fighting spirit was not there at all.

Charge forward with them, and you won't be wiped out by the enemy in an instant.

The banner in the distance was getting closer and closer, and the black-pressed Han Sui army was pressing towards them.

As the enemy approached, some of the soldiers of the Xiliang Army behind Ma Teng had already begun to move backwards.

Looking at the array in front of him, Cao Shuo always had a shallow smile on the corner of his mouth.

"If you count on them, this battle is really impossible to win." Pang Tong shook his head: "Fortunately, Gongzi can see it clearly, otherwise, according to the strategy I mentioned earlier, I am afraid that the army has not gone far, and the enemy army has already caught up." ”

"Actually, you can't blame them." Cao Shuo said indifferently: "We have not experienced despair, and it is impossible to understand their minds. What they have experienced is perhaps a fierce battle that we will never experience in our lifetimes. There were no reinforcements, I didn't know where to go, and I could understand their desperation. ”

"Childe is benevolent, and others will definitely not be able to understand it." Pang Tong replied: "Although it can be understood, the enemy army is in front of you, and it has to look like a fight." ”

Cao Shuo didn't respond, just smiled slightly, and instructed Chen Zhi on the side: "Order the dragon pattern to ride, prepare for the fight, once the enemy launches an attack, immediately kill with me." ”

"Childe is still watching the battle in the Chinese army." Chen Zhi replied: "I'll lead the troops to fight." ”

"Three hundred against thirty thousand, how can I not live and die with the soldiers?" Cao Shuo said: "Needless to say, give the order immediately!" ”
