Tiger Cage Pass.
Under the repeated attacks, half a day soon passed. The sun set and the sky gradually darkened.
At this moment, there were already corpses lying around Tiger Cage Pass. Corpses were lying there eternally.
War was cruel.
A general's achievements were accomplished by tens of thousands of bones. It was unknown how many bones were buried behind each emperor.
Accompanied by a series of golden chimes, the charging Yuan Shao army.
Under the lead of their respective generals, they gradually returned to the dukedom's camp!
……
On Tiger Cage Pass, Xu Rong looked at the retreating Yuan Shao army and revealed a cold glint.
"How are the losses of the army?"
After Xu Rong's voice fell, a deputy general in charge of calculating the battle results quickly came forward to report.
"General, due to the enemy's ferocious attack, although we are waiting for an attack, we still lost 8,000 soldiers.”
The deputy quickly reported the losses.
"Eight thousand."
When Xu Rong heard this, a cold glint flashed across his eyes.
Currently, Tiger Cage Pass only had 100,000 soldiers.
It was enough to open Tiger Cage Pass.
However, the dukes had their own plans, so they naturally wouldn't attack the city without caring about their losses.
This time, if Yuan Shao hadn't lost his sense of direction because of Yuan Shu, he wouldn't have let the army attack so easily.
Moreover, there were also secret guards who were secretly working to encourage and fool Yuan Shao's soldiers to attack the city.
Otherwise, once the losses exceeded a certain number, Yuan Shao's army would have long been defeated.
After all, they were all living beings, not robots without reason. Naturally, they had fear and morale.
"Since our army has already lost 8,000, it seems that Yuan Shao has been tricked quite miserably this time.”
Xu Rong looked at the dukedom camp in the night sky and revealed a strange light.
The losses between offense and defense were often proportional.
Even the Western Liang Army, which was the defender, had lost 8,000 soldiers.
The attacking Yuan Shao army would lose at least 15,000 men.
"However, this is not a solution.”
"If they really don't care about the losses, then it'll be troublesome.”
Xu Rong said with a gloomy expression.
In this head-on battle, any schemes and plots would be suppressed openly.
Even as a supreme commander, he could only increase the strength of Tiger Cage Pass's defense through tight defense.
However, he had no way to defeat the Barony Alliance.
"No, it's not like there's no way.”
Xu Rong's eyes suddenly flashed with a bright light, as if he had thought of something.
"General Lu Bu's Bing Province cavalry is still a few days away from Tiger Cage Pass.”
Xu Rong asked a deputy general.
"General, General Lu Bu is about three days away from Tiger Cage Pass.”
A deputy general heard Xu Rong's question and hurriedly reported to Xu Rong.
"Three days."
"It just so happens that I need three days to prepare that plan.”
A cold glint flashed in the depths of Xu Rong's eyes when he heard this.
"Three days?"
"Plan?"
After reporting Lu Bu's itinerary, the Western Liang Deputy General's eyes flashed with a strange light.
"In these three days, we must guard against the enemy's siege.”
"You can't be careless, or else when the Prime Minister blames you, you won't be able to escape responsibility.”
Xu Rong made some calculations in his heart and instructed the few Western Liang generals who were in charge of guarding Tiger Cage Pass.
"Yes!"
"General, don't worry. With me here, those bastards won't be able to break through Tiger Cage Pass.”
The few Western Liang generals replied respectfully to Xu Rong.
Due to Xu Rong's outstanding leadership, the generals in Tiger Cage Pass were very convinced by Xu Rong's orders.
Hearing Xu Rong's words, they all agreed.
"Yes."
Seeing this, Xu Rong nodded slightly.
Then, he looked at the dukedom camp in the night sky and revealed a faint cold light.
"Three days later will be your chance.”
……
At Tiger Cage Pass, the deputy general who had reported Lu Bu's itinerary to Xu Rong said to a Western Liang general.
"Old Li, my stomach is a little uncomfortable. I'll go out and relieve myself first.”
"Old Ding, go ahead.”
"It won't be good if the general finds out.”
The Western Liang general called Old Li did not suspect him and even reminded him.
"Alright."
The vice-general surnamed Ding nodded slightly and quickly left.
"This Old Ding is really a lazy person. He's not afraid of being discovered by the general.”
Another Western Liang general looked at Deputy General Ding's back as he left and complained.
"Alright, it's just to relieve myself.”
General Li frowned.
When the Western Liang general saw this, he muttered to himself and did not say anything else.
Not long after, Vice General Ding returned as if nothing had happened.
However, without anyone knowing, under the cover of the night.
A carrier pigeon flew silently toward the dukedom's camp under the cover of the night.
……
In the camp of the dukes, the tent of the central army
"Yan Liang, how are the losses this time?”
Within the tent, Yuan Shao's face was livid as he looked at Yan Liang below, whose expression was not good, and spoke in a cold voice.
"Reporting to my lord. I'm useless."
"This time, a total of 20,000 soldiers died…"
That Yan Liang's expression wasn't too good as he reported to Yuan Shao with a guilty voice.
"Twenty thousand!"
Hearing this, Yuan Shao's face turned black. He felt his chest heat up as he spat out a mouthful of blood.
"My lord."
When Yan Liang, Tian Feng, and the others saw this, they hurriedly came up and helped Yuan Shao Dao up with concern.
"Damn Yuan Gonglu."
"You actually caused me to lose 20,000 soldiers!”
It was no wonder Yuan Shao was so angry.
With his huge family and business, he brought a total of 100,000 soldiers.
However, the true number of soldiers was only 80,000.
Now that he had lost 20,000 soldiers in one battle, which was equivalent to a quarter of his total strength, how could he not be furious?
Moreover, the most important thing was that the person who had tricked him was his half-brother, Yuan Shu, who was also the Duke of the Four Generations!
How could this make Yuan Shao swallow his anger!
"My lord, there might be an expert behind Yuan Shu.”
