Chapter 411: The Contest Begins
For three days in a row, Ma Dai followed Guo Jia's instructions every day, taking 10,000 soldiers out in the morning and returning with 7,000 or 5,000 soldiers in the evening.
At the beginning, the scouts sent by Tongguan had not found anything unusual. But as time went on, they realized that something was wrong. This is going to fight at any time, and he takes 10,000 soldiers out every day, is it possible that it can't be a picnic?
After Ye Mo got the reward from those scouts, he guessed that something was wrong. It's just that every time the scouts sent by Ye Mo didn't find any problems, so Ye Mo was in trouble for a while.
However, if you walk too much at night, you will always encounter ghosts. And those scouts in Tongguan didn't bring back any useful information every day, so they were a lot more bold when they inquired.
And on the fifth day, when the soldiers brought out by Ma Dai came back, one of them accidentally hit a stumbling man.
This would be okay if it were in normal times, but the reason why the Yizhou army was able to hide from the scouts in Tongguan was because they took advantage of the cover of the night and then came back with some scarecrows, so they were not seen through.
This time, it was precisely because of the scarecrow carrying the scarecrow that the soldier suddenly stumbled. Then, the scarecrow behind him flew straight up.
If the Yizhou army was just a simple march, then those scarecrows in their ranks would definitely not be discovered. After all, it was getting late, and the scouts could only look at an outline.
And at this time, they finally realized that they had been deceived before.
Ye Mo didn't say anything after receiving the rewards of these scouts. There was silence for a moment, and then he went back to his tent.
This kind of question, Ye Mo should have thought of it a long time ago. However, he ignored it.
For the first time, Ye Mo realized. Compared with his previous self, his current self is simply weak.
Even if there is no system, Ye Mo feels that he shouldn't even think of this. The system, what was given to Ye Mo was only the help of the forces, and Ye Mo won the name of "half-immortal" for himself before. It was all won by Kao Yemo himself.
At this time, Ye Mo finally reacted. Even if the system is no longer an unsolvable existence, so what? After Ye Mo entered Luoyang, which of the things he did was completely done by the system?
Moment. Ye Mo's state of mind actually got another kind of consummation. And this kind of breaking and standing, although it did not make Ye Mo's talent go further than before, and even did not let Ye Mo regain his strong self-confidence before, but it also made Ye Mo's mind sober up instantly.
Even, at this moment, Ye Mo's declining strength had been completely restored, and there was even a faint shadow of a breakthrough.
Ye Mo's actually. At this moment, it also returned to Ye Mo's body. However, it is tougher than before. But it's an extra roundness.
At this time, thinking back to the news he got, Ye Mo's face showed a hint of a smile. Since you dare to make a move against Tongguan, how can you let you leave casually? The real battle has just begun!
And inside the Yizhou military camp outside the gate, Guo Jia's face was not very good. Ma Dai: Their mistake this time. will deal a huge blow to his plans.
At this time, only 20,000 people of the Yizhou army had withdrawn. At this time, there were still more than 80,000 people in the barracks who had not been evacuated. If these people just leave. The defenders of Tongguan naturally had nothing to do. It's just that Ma Chao will never agree to withdraw directly.
If Ma Chao agreed to withdraw his troops directly, then Guo Jia would not have come up with such an idea.
It's just that since this method can't be used to withdraw troops at this time, it can only be used against Tongguan.
Guo Jia's strategy, if there was no such thing as Ma Dai, then Guo Jia would definitely secretly cross Chen Cang and withdraw directly after withdrawing all the soldiers from the barracks.
But now, it can only take advantage of this opportunity to lure the soldiers of Tongguan out of the customs.
Ma Dai stood in front of Guo Jia at this time, looking cautious. "Strategist, I'...... I ......" Ma Dai secretly glanced at Guo Jia's face, and when he saw Guo Jia's face, he immediately wanted to say something.
Guo Jia saw that Ma Dai still had the intention of defending himself at this time, so he immediately glanced at Ma Dai, and let Ma Dai's words be swallowed back alive.
"In that case, our plans would have to change. The order goes down, and there shall be no fire in the camp today. General Arima Dai quietly took the army away, and the lord led an army of 10,000 to stay, while scarecrows were scattered around the camp. ”
Guo Jia can be regarded as having figured it out at this time, he wants to withdraw the army through guò, since they have all been seen through by Xu Shu, maybe someone in the imperial army in Tongguan can also see through it.
In this case, then simply lure out the defenders of Tongguan. When the time comes, as long as you capture some more court soldiers and soldiers, and then release them, it can be regarded as a gesture of goodwill to the court.
At the same time, Arima Chao led an army of 10,000 to stay in the camp in order to give the defenders of Tongguan a bait.
At this time, the number of Yizhou troops was really unclear in Tongguan. At that time, as long as Tongguan finds that the military camp of the Yizhou Army is only 10,000 people, it will definitely not be difficult for the defenders of Tongguan to eat.
Even, in order to ensure that the defenders of Tongguan would not turn a blind eye to the 10,000 soldiers who were placed on their lips, Guo Jia even calculated Ma Chao.
In this way, if Tongguan has not made any moves, it can only mean that the guards of Tongguan are too wasteful.
You know, there is such a big bait, as long as it is a general with a little ambition, it will definitely take a risk. Even if it fails in the end...... Ahem, what if it succeeds?
After Ma Dai listened to Guo Jia's words, he didn't say anything else, and went back to prepare. It's just that Ma Chao is not as easy to deal with as Ma Dai.
"Strategist, if we say this, can we really lure out the defenders of Tongguan?" After Ma Dai left, Ma Chao immediately looked at Guo Jia, expecting Guo Jia to answer the word "yes".
It's just that it turns out that Ma Chao is thinking too much.
"Although General Ma Dai led the army to retreat overnight, if Tongguan hadn't inquired about our situation, presumably they would not have taken the initiative to attack." Guo Jia looked at Ma Chao, and a sly smile appeared on his face.
I don't know why, looking at Guo Jia at this time, Ma Chao shuddered for no reason. "What does the military advisor think?"
"Tomorrow, the general needs to attack Tongguan again, and then feign defeat and retreat." Guo Jia looked at Ma Chao and just said this lightly.
It's just that Guo Jia's words made Ma Chao's back soaked in cold sweat. 10,000 soldiers to attack Tongguan, and they still need to feign defeat and retreat, so how many soldiers' lives need to be sent away to let the defenders of Tongguan be fooled? (To be continued)
