"Then in Mr.'s opinion, how should I choose?" Ma Chao really had no idea, so he had to ask Zhuge Liang for help.

Zhuge Liang groaned slightly, and said: "In fact, there is no need for any choice, originally Pang Tong was in the dark, lest he use some tricks, so he was forced to withdraw, now Pang Tong has appeared, both the enemy and I are in the light, then we don't need to worry too much, we can steadily advance from the main road, just be cautious, if the enemy really chases, it's a big deal to turn around and fight, why be afraid?" ”

Ma Chao thought that this was the case, although Zhang Fan got another 70,000 or 80,000 reinforcements, but the overall strength was still insufficient, and since Pang Tong appeared, it meant that the means arranged did not need to be controlled by himself, and the lethality would not be too great.

At this time, Ma Chao suddenly calmed down, and hurriedly ordered the troops to retreat from the main road, and sent sentry scouts to open the way in front, cautiously guarded, and steadily advanced.

At the same time, Zhuge Liang left soldiers and horses on both sides along the road, if Zhang Fan led the army to pursue, the ambush was exhausted, although Zhang Fan could not really be defeated, but it could also make its grass and trees all soldiers, the pursuit was slow, and if it reached a certain level, it is not known that Zhuge Liang would persuade Ma Chao to reflexively fight a decisive battle.

It's really unimaginable, the battle has reached this point, the two sides are still fighting wits and courage, the retreaters are methodical and want to fight back, and the pursuers can't do their best, they need to be on guard at all times, this is different from the simple battle that Zhang Fan faced before, one wrong step will be doomed, extremely terrifying.

This is a battle of wits between top strategists, no one dares to slack off, Zhuge Liang and Ma Chao slowed down and advanced layer by layer, but things soon changed, and the sentinel sent out was abandoned and disappeared, and he didn't know what danger he encountered, but it was like evaporating, and he couldn't even find the body.

This situation made Ma Chao frightened, the speed slowed down again, and additional sentinels were sent to go, but the bizarre disappearances still happened from time to time, and there were many obstacles on the way, some huge trees were cut down on the road, and there were horses that blocked the advance, in short, all kinds of means emerged one after another, making the speed of the coalition army slow and slow, and the people were panicked.

"What the hell is going on!" Ma Chao frowned.

Zhuge Liang thought for a moment and waved his hand resolutely: "It's okay!" I didn't find any powerful arrangements along the road, usually based on barriers, presumably Pang Tong wanted to delay time, and those missing sentinels must have been ambushed, this group of people will not be too many, but they are definitely elite, they dare not attack large troops, and they are looking for small-scale sentinels to shoot, and they can't become a climate! ”

"So let's go all the way?" Ma Chaodao.

"Not really!" Zhuge Liang shook his head, feeling very tricky: "This may be a method arranged by Pang Tong to make us take it lightly, if we relax our vigilance, maybe we will step into real danger!" ”

"But the speed of the march is too slow, the morale of our army has dropped even more, and the people are panicked, once they are caught up by the wind and clouds, they will inevitably suffer heavy casualties!"

Ma Chao was helpless, such an arrangement was not fatal, but it undoubtedly hit his vital point directly, wasting too much of his time, there was already a sound of great battle in the rear, presumably the ambushed soldiers had been dispatched, and the fate of these people was not asked, where was the opponent of Zhang Fan's army?

"Pang Shiyuan, Pang Shiyuan, are you despising me?"

Zhuge Liang frowned and said, "It's okay, you can make the sentinel shorten the detection distance and move within the sight of our front team, so that you can be safe!" ”

The coalition army moved again, this time their speed was much faster, but there were still many obstacles on the way, which brought great trouble to the coalition army, and the chasing soldiers in the rear were getting closer and closer, which made Ma Chao start to get irritable: "It's not a way to go on like this, it's really better to turn around and fight, and give the wind and clouds a little color!" ”

"No!"

Zhuge Liang persuaded that now the morale of the coalition army is low, although the Xiliang army is brave, but the soldiers and horses of the other princes have long had the intention of retreating, and it is difficult to devote themselves to the battle, now Dian Wei died in battle, Xu Chu was injured, and the high-end combat power of the coalition army has dropped a lot, and the power of the generals is also crucial on the battlefield.

This is another major disadvantage of Zhuge Liang, Zhang Fan's soldiers and horses are united, all of them are united, and the coalition army is composed of soldiers and horses of multiple princes, and there are more players mixed in it, it is difficult to achieve complete obedience, which brings military superiority but also has certain hidden dangers, and now is the easiest time to break out, not that Zhuge Liang does not want to fight, but can only wait until there is really no way to fight, only in this way can the coalition really unite.

Although this road is slow, it can be said that there is no danger, Zhuge Liang's ambush has played a great role, Zhang Fan's soldiers and horses have never been able to really catch up, and at this time Jiguan is already in sight, Zhuge Liang walked to Ma Chao's side, and said softly: "Let the Xiliang army walk in the front, and the other soldiers and horses will be behind!" ”

Ma Chao immediately understood, in fact, if Zhang Fan wanted to chase, he would have been in contact at this moment, but he was always restrained, kept a distance, and deliberately did not make any effort, just to want to break out in front of Jiguan, at that time, if the soldiers and horses of other princes were in front, it was very likely that they would retreat directly to the pass when the war broke out, and Ma Chao would have to use the Xiliang army as their palace, and the casualties would inevitably be large, and the gains outweighed the losses.

It's not that Ma Chao is intriguing, most of the ambushes sent by him are Xiliang elite soldiers, and now they are gone, and the actions of the other princes' soldiers and horses when they retreated just now also made him feel cold, and he didn't dare to have too much confidence, so he did it, and it was always good to be prepared.

Kei Pass is also guarded, but this pass is majestic, and the state defenders were originally in an extremely disadvantaged position, can defend but not attack, so when attacking, only more than 10,000 soldiers and horses were left to guard, at this moment there are officers and soldiers guarding the city to see the horse super large force coming, immediately open the gate, ready to let it enter the pass.

"Kill!"

Finally the time to come is still here, this is Zhang Fan's last chance, he led the army to attack, Bai Ma Yicong was running wildly, feather arrows were thrown, and the big battle began.

Ma Chao had already prepared for this, and immediately set up a shield to defend, but there was still a distance between the two sides, and the coalition forces hurriedly increased their speed, and the Xiliang Army in front was already at the gate, and they were about to enter.

At this moment, Zhuge Liang suddenly saw the sneer on the corner of Zhang Fan's mouth, and couldn't help but scream that it was not good, and hurriedly turned his head to look back, but saw that several crossbow carts were suddenly launched in the pass, and the huge crossbow arrows were straight towards the Xiliang army, and a general looked at him coldly with a mocking look on his face.

"It's not good, Kekiseki has changed hands!"
