There were a few possible reasons why Yuan Shao did not make a move.
The Imperial Sentinel Guards and the Kongling Secret Ninja Tribe took action and stole all of the materials needed to build the Thunderclap Chariot, thus delaying the construction progress of the Thunderclap Chariot. Thus, one of the reasons why the Yuan Shao Alliance stopped was to gather more materials.
At this time, Yuan Shao's alliance army was guarding the tunnel even more closely. Even with the Imperial Sentinel himself, Yang Rui was not willing to let him take the risk. As for the Ethereal Ninja and his flying pet, they had no way of knowing what was going on inside the tunnel.
Other than this, the Yuan Shao Alliance might be preparing other forms of attack.
At this time, the Yuan Shao Alliance had already used frontal attacks, sneak attacks from the side and duels in front of the formation. This did not rule out the possibility that Yuan Shao and Cao Cao could still play other tricks. It would be normal if they were preparing other forms of attack.
Another possibility was that Yuan Shao's alliance army was already at their wits' end. At this time, if they continued to maintain the alliance state and continued to attack, it would be difficult to achieve a fruitful result. If they hastily formed the alliance state, it would be difficult for the alliance parties to bear the losses.
It must be known that Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Liu Biao, Ma Teng, Chen Gong, Zhang Xiu and Liu Bei had not only suffered heavy losses but also suffered attacks and harassment from Yang Rui and his allies. Even if they wanted to return to the state before the alliance was formed, the situation had already changed.
Of course, from Yang Rui's point of view, the Yuan Shao Alliance would not give up just like this. It was more likely that they were preparing for the first few attacks.
In reality, this was indeed the case. The Yuan Shao Alliance had reached a point where they could not retreat. If they were to disband now, it would mean that they would suffer heavy losses. If they fought together, they would have a chance to turn the tables.
As a result, the commanders of Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Liu Biao, Ma Teng, Chen Gong, Zhang Xiu and Liu Bei began to gather materials from the rear to continue building the Thunderclap Chariots.
On the other hand, Yuan Shao and the others were indeed planning another wave of attacks. No one knew the specifics but the process was something that Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Zhang Yun, Ma Teng, Chen Gong, Zhang Xiu and Liu Bei discussed in the main tent for an entire night. It was only when the sky gradually brightened that the commanders dispersed. During this time, no one else participated in the discussion.
At the same time, the main meeting tent of Yuan Shao's alliance army was also heavily guarded. The entire tent was surrounded by three layers of guards, making it impossible for anyone to pass through. Among the guards were the commanders of the various armies. Thus, even if the Imperial Guards were to take action, it would be difficult for them to sneak in.
Most importantly, the guards and commanders in charge of guarding the main tent were hidden in the shadows. The location of the main tent was also very well hidden. It was impossible to determine where Yuan Shao and the others were. As a result, even when Yang Rui sent out several waves of flying pets to harass the Yuan Shao Alliance, Yuan Shao and the others were not forced out.
Originally, the Imperial Guards and the Ethereal Ninjas only stole the materials as a stopgap measure. From the start, Yang Rui had already considered the possibility that Yuan Shao would continue to gather materials to build the Thunderclap Chariots. As a result, Yang Rui had already prepared for this possibility.
At this moment, even if the Yuan Shao Alliance replenished the materials and continued to build the Thunderclap Chariots, Yang Rui had already prepared a backup plan. It was just that he still needed time to deploy and dispatch it.
As a result, on the surface, Yang Rui's troops and Yuan Shao Alliance's troops had entered a strategic stalemate. Even if Yuan Shao's troops had failed several times, in terms of overall strength, the difference between Yuan Shao and Yang Rui's side was not that great. Both sides still had the possibility of completely defeating the other side.
In terms of terrain, Yang Rui had built the Great Ice Sand Wall in a short period of time. Furthermore, the Yellow River's icy surface was not suitable for siege. It could be said that he held the advantage.
In terms of military deployment, Yang Rui's troops were more scattered. They had to take care of a longer section of the Great Ice Sand Wall, which would inevitably increase the amount of energy required. This was where Yang Rui was at a disadvantage.
However, under Yang Rui's powerful surveillance and information methods, it was extremely difficult for the Yuan Shao Alliance's troops to take advantage of this unfavorable situation to create an opportunity. It could be said that it was an impossible task.
In this' strategic stalemate 'phase, two game days had passed in a hurry. During this period, Yang Rui continuously sent out flying pets and used' aerial bombs' and other methods to continuously harass the Yuan Shao Alliance's camp. However, it seemed like he had exhausted all his abilities and the results he obtained were extremely limited.
On the other hand, the Yuan Shao Alliance's troops seemed to have no means to use at all. All of their actions were in a state of stagnation. It seemed that there was no way to deal with it and they could only passively take a beating.
Of course, this was only the situation on the surface. Two game days had just passed. On this day, the sky should have been bright on a normal day. However, the areas near the Great Ice Sand Wall where Yang Rui's Northern Mobile Corps were located were still covered in fog. Their vision was even worse than at night. It could be said that they could not even see their own fingers when they stretched out their hands.
This situation was not because the vision was not used to it, but because something else had happened. Yang Rui immediately noticed that something was wrong and quickly determined that this was the effect of the Yuan Shao Alliance's troops activating a formation similar to the Four Symbols Maze.
"Pass down the order, the Four Symbols Maze is activated!"
Yang Rui ordered the Imperial Guard beside him in a deep voice.
As for the formation, Yang Rui had already arranged for it to be in place. In order to prevent various uncertainties from occurring, Yang Rui had arranged for people to set up the formation flag holders in advance. They had also practiced in advance so that they could change their positions on the Great Ice Sand Wall. Furthermore, there was an Ethereal Ninja beside each formation flag holder who was responsible for relaying information. He did not expect that it would come in handy at this time.
At this time, the attack point of the Yuan Shao Alliance's army did not change. Therefore, the positions of the formation flag holders that Yang Rui had arranged for them naturally did not need to be changed.
Following Yang Rui's order, the Four Symbols Maze in their camp was activated and activated. The white fog instantly covered the area around the Great Ice Sand Wall and quickly spread to the surroundings.
