Under Guo Jia's order, the soldiers of the Yizhou Army escorted the horse to retreat towards the rear quickly.

In the same place, there were five hundred old and weak left, although they trembled with fear, they still formed a defensive formation with great determination.

Ye Mo and the others on the wall of Tongguan did not directly open the door to pursue after seeing the Yizhou army retreating. After all, under this wall, there are thousands of Yizhou soldiers.

If you rashly open the gate, you can only put those Yizhou troops into the pass, and even if the imperial army can eliminate these soldiers of the Yizhou army, the price will be much greater.

"Lord, look, the Yizhou army has withdrawn!" Ye Mo was able to calm down when he saw the withdrawal of the Yizhou army, but Dian Wei was not as calm as Ye Mo, so he directly pointed at the retreating Yizhou army and shouted loudly.

As soon as Dian Wei shouted like this, the soldiers who were about to rush to the wall and want to fight with the imperial army naturally ignored them. However, Dian Wei's voice was indeed loud, even on this battlefield, those Yizhou soldiers who climbed the ladder but had not yet reached the wall heard Dian Wei's words.

The men lay on top of the ladder, waiting for the soldiers in front of them to rush up the wall or fall off the ladder, and then pick up the ladder themselves.

After hearing Dian Wei's words again, although they didn't believe it, they also unconsciously looked in the direction of Ma Chao behind them.

At this glance, it turned out to be as Dian Wei said, the large army in the rear was retreating from the wolf, but in the same place, hundreds of panicked soldiers were left.

That's right, looking at it now, the five hundred soldiers who were ordered by Guo Jia to stay were indeed very panicked.

The five hundred soldiers left behind by the Yizhou army. It was only left by their commanders by name in a hurry. Knowing that these 500 people were just sent to death, where would those generals leave the few elites in their hands?

On the cloud ladder, those Yizhou sergeants who had already discovered Ma Chao's retreat were stunned, and immediately led the attack on Tongguan to a fault. And because of the abnormality of these people, the Yizhou soldiers under Tongguan also gradually discovered the abnormality behind them.

"The general has escaped!" I don't know who it is. Suddenly shouted like this.

Although it was said that the person who made the voice was quickly cut to the ground by the chief officer next to him, but in this way, it also made the Yizhou soldiers who knew that Ma Chao had retreated from a small piece slowly spread to the entire thousands of Yizhou soldiers who were attacking Tongguan.

Why did Ma Chao retreat. These people don't know why. But Ma Chaochao's retreat has become an established fact.

Soon, those Yizhou soldiers who were attacking also began to hesitate. Whether to continue the attack on Tongguan, or to be the same as the troops in the rear. Direct retreat?

Among them, some generals and Dubo slightly guessed what was happening, and Ma Chao would suddenly retreat. Therefore, these people also ordered their soldiers to continue to attack Tongguan.

However, there are more people, but they don't think about why Ma Chao retreated, but just take it for granted that Ma Chao treats them as outcasts. Albeit. This is the truth, from the moment they received the order to attack Tongguan, they were already treated as outcasts.

Thereupon. A part of the Yizhou sergeants continued to attack Tongguan. But more Yizhou sergeants turned around and began to flee.

And this qiē has long been in Guo Jia's calculations. Seven thousand people are used as bait, and Guo Jia will not be able to bear it. Even if Ma Chao is not injured, Guo Jia will find a reason to retreat. When the time comes, as long as the Yizhou soldiers who attacked Tongguan can see it. Then naturally someone will choose to retreat.

The Yizhou army was like this, and the pressure on the defenders of Tongguan did increase.

before. Although the number of Yizhou troops attacking Tongguan was larger, there were only so many ladders. What the defenders had to face was nothing more than the Yizhou sergeant who climbed up from the ladder.

But now, there are still so many ladders, although the number of attackers is small, but these soldiers of the Yizhou army are all determined to die, and the combat effectiveness that broke out suddenly increased geometrically.

Of course, even if the soldiers of the Yizhou Army are determined to die, but what is that? Didn't the previous Tongguan defenders not burst out with full combat effectiveness?

At this time, as long as the defenders of Tongguan held on to the first wave of the Yizhou army's attack, after that...... The remaining Yizhou soldiers will be able to launch a wave of attacks.

"My lord, when will we start chasing the enemy general?" At this time, Li Yi saw that the Yizhou army besieging the city had begun to flee, so he immediately came to Ye Mo's side and asked.

The first camp of Koji Yi was all elite, but it was not arranged on the wall of Tongguan, but was always lined up behind the gate. Whoever looks at this can also see that Ye Mo has the idea of letting the camp go out of the customs to pursue the Yizhou army first.

It's just that at this time, Ye Mo glanced at Lu Yi, but there was a self-conscious and incomparably bright smile on his face. "Koji Yi, when I was defending the city, I saw that you killed the enemy bravely, and I must have been a little tired at this time......"

"Lord, don't worry, I'm not tired." When Ko Yi heard Ye Mo praise himself, he suddenly smiled like a flower on his face, and even called himself "not tired".

It's just that when Ye Mo said this, he naturally had his own plans. "Lu Yi is wrong, a tired general will inevitably make some small mistakes. It would be bad if the soldiers suffered losses because of this. Therefore, I decided to let Xu Rong temporarily lead the camp and pursue the enemy's commander. ”

As soon as Ye Mo said this, the smile on Koji Yi's face suddenly looked like a chrysanthemum, extremely ugly. It's just that Koi Yi also understands Ye Mo, since he said so, it means that Ye Mo has already thought so.

And Ye Mo did this for a long time. Although Koji Yi trained to go to the camp first, but Koji Yi has always been rushing and fighting fiercely, and this has created the heroic tradition of "death without turning his heel" in the first camp.

But Xu Rong is different, Xu Rong fights, and he is fierce, but more importantly, Xu Rong is good at using his brain.

Ye Mo had already guessed that the military advisor of the Yizhou Army was Guo Jia, but in fact, there was no need to guess, there was no more powerful strategist than Guo Jia around Ma Chao at this time. Of course, except for Xu Shu, Xu Shu has not yet taken refuge in Ma Chao.

Ma Chao's move this time was obviously to lure the defenders of Tongguan into battle.

Although Xu Rong is not Guo Jia's opponent, at least Xu Rong is a little more reliable than Ko Yi. What's more, there are only many people left at this time of the first camp, even if Ye Mo personally takes these people to chase them, if he falls for Guo Jia's tricks, it will be difficult to escape death.

However, Ye Mo will not really push Xu Rong to a dead end.

Since the Yizhou army can throw out a bait, then "return the favor", Ye Mo naturally needs to return one.

The Tongguan battlefield has become a venue for Ye Mo and Guo Jia to compete. The two sides fought with wits and courage, but they didn't know who could be superior in the end. (To be continued)
