"Both of you have a point. Did you tell Father about it?"
Ma Chao narrowed his eyes and nodded thoughtfully.
Ma Dai shook his head.
"We did, but Father didn't seem to listen. He even said that we should have confidence in our allies and not listen to the words of the traitorous army."
Ma Chao suddenly felt a surge of anger.
"What's wrong with Father?"
"Was he scared out of his wits by Bai Feng in Xuchang?!"
Ma Chao had always respected his father very much.
But now, because his father refused to fight, he had become a coward. How could Ma Chao not be angry?
"What about the thing I asked you to do yesterday?"
Ma Chao's face darkened as he called the two to his side.
Hearing this, Ma Dai turned pale with fright.
"Brother, you can't do this!"
"Last time, you led the army out of the city. Father is angry because of this."
"If Uncle Han didn't plead for you, I'm afraid you would be punished by military law. It wouldn't be as simple as being grounded."
Ma Chao suddenly sneered and said,
"Let me ask you, do you two trust me?"
"Or, can the two of you stand their clamoring all day long?"
Ma Dai fell silent.
Pound pondered for a moment and said in a low voice,
"Yesterday, I went to the army to check. Our brothers can't hold back anymore. They can't wait to tear the Cao Army into pieces. They can't hold back at all."
"Meng Qi, if you really want to lead the army in a night attack, I'm afraid you'll have more than thirty thousand people following you."
"So many!"
Ma Chao was shocked.
Ma Chao originally planned to have ten thousand people following him out of the city for a night attack, but now there were thirty thousand people!
One must know that the entire garrison in the city added up to fifty thousand people!
About twenty thousand of them were veterans who had followed his father to war. They followed his orders.
In other words, the rest were all willing to follow him!
"Good! We'll act tonight! "
Ma Chao narrowed his eyes and glanced at the two as he said slowly.
"Brother, you can't!"
Ma Dai hurriedly stopped him.
"You're grounded right now. If you go out and lead the army in a night attack, Father will not forgive you!"
"When the time comes, the two of us in charge of guarding you will also …"
Ma Chao snorted coldly.
"Bozhan, are you afraid?"
"If we succeed in our night attack, we can dampen the enemy's spirit and inflict heavy losses on them. Even if father knows about it, he won't say anything."
"If you're scared, you can go to my father's residence and expose me now!"
Hearing Ma Chao's words, Ma Dai fell silent.
As for whether or not he wanted to go to war, Ma Dai definitely wanted to.
After all, apart from talking about the war in Jing Province, Xiahou Dun had been asking about his family.
However, Ma Dai had always listened to his father since he was young, so he was not as bold as Ma Chao.
"Elder brother, I'll go with you!"
Ma Dai gritted his teeth and said in a low voice.
Ma Chao patted Ma Dai's shoulder.
"Good, that's my brother, Ma Mengqi!"
"I can't come out yet. The two of you, quickly go to the army and gather the troops. We will no longer harass them tonight. While the enemy is relaxed, we will take them down in one go!"
…
"Hahahahaha, Marshal, you're really smart!"
"That Ma Mengqi really couldn't hold back and left the city!"
Xiahou Dun was overjoyed when he vaguely recognized a sizable group leaving the city. He whispered to Xiahou Yuan beside him.
Bai Feng hadn't just had Xiahou Dun challenge the enemy.
During the challenge period, the enemy would close their gates and not come out. Xiahou Dun would take the opportunity to deploy soldiers according to Bai Feng's orders.
After waiting for a few days, Ma Chao really did come out of the city.
Originally, the generals didn't understand Bai Feng's intentions.
Ma Chao had already suffered a great loss once. What was the point of cursing now?
Ma Chao wasn't a fool. Why would he come out of the city and launch a night attack?
After all, they weren't in their tents, so the soldiers who had waited for several nights for nothing were furious.
Cao Hong and Xu Chu, on the other hand, were even more resentful. They would often curse Bai Feng behind her back.
Even Xiahou Dun, who had always trusted Bai Feng, had some doubts.
However, when they saw tens of thousands of soldiers coming from Xi Liang, the resentment in the generals' hearts instantly disappeared.
Even Cao Hong and Xu Chu were convinced.
They didn't expect Ma Chao to be so stupid!
Bai Feng stood quietly on the spot and watched the black mass of soldiers sneak in in the middle of the night.
Ma Teng had already suffered a loss at his hands. He definitely wouldn't come out of the city to fight.
However, there was one person who was different.
That was Ma Chao!
Ma Chao did not participate in the battle against Xu Chang. Furthermore, his temperament was extremely irritable and belligerent. From the last time he suddenly led an army to invade with great fanfare, it could be seen that Ma Chao did not have any strategy or foresight. He only had martial arts.
Moreover, since Ma Chao was launching a large-scale invasion this time, he definitely wouldn't make a big fuss.
In other words, the ones coming out were all infantrymen!
After all, the sound of hooves was too obvious. Ma Chao wouldn't be stupid enough to ride out a second time.
From the looks of it, there were about ten thousand infantrymen at the front. After they succeeded, the cavalry at the back would move out.
This just so happened to fall right into Bai Feng's trap.
The biggest advantage of the Xi Liang Army compared to the Cao Army was that they were good at horsemanship. This was the shortcoming of the Cao Army.
However, if Ma Chao let the infantrymen go first, it was tantamount to sending these ten thousand men to their deaths.
He only needed to lure the enemy into the trap. When the sound of hooves was heard, the ambushing troops would erupt and kill them!
At such a close distance, the cavalry's advantage would become a disadvantage.
In a battle between white soldiers, the infantrymen were far superior to the cavalry!
Bai Feng quietly drank tea in the distance and watched the battle from afar.
Li Yuanba couldn't hold it in and whispered,
"Sir, why don't you let me fight?"
"Last time, when Liang Yu and Ma Chao fought, I was itching to fight!"
"This time, there are so many enemy soldiers and you still don't let me fight!"
Bai Feng waved his hand and didn't say anything.
Although Li Yuanba was a little upset, he still obeyed Bai Feng's orders. Seeing that there was no hope, he could only give up and quietly pour tea for Bai Feng.
There was only one reason why Bai Feng didn't let Qin Liangyu and Li Yuanba fight.
He wanted to give the Cao Army generals a chance to perform.
Before the battle, Bai Feng said that he wanted to give these generals a chance to perform.
Although these generals were strong, they were no match for Qin Liangyu and Li Yuanba. When the time came, they wouldn't feel good killing the enemy and their morale would be very low.
After all, winning people's hearts was the most important prerequisite for completing the system's mission.
It was obvious that he couldn't get the support of the civil officials. If he wanted to become the Grand Marshal, the support of the generals was very important.
Slowly, the night became darker and darker. Dark clouds slowly covered the sun.
Bai Feng sneered and turned back to the tent.
