The next day, Ma Chao led 5,000 Western Liang cavalry to challenge Zhao Yun's army; and Zhao Yun's army hung up a battle-free sign in front of the camp, which made Ma Chao so angry that he swears loudly in front of the camp.

"Zhao Yun, you coward, if you have the courage, come out?"

When Zhao Yun heard that Ma Chao was coming to challenge, he saw him in front of the camp and smiled slightly, "I don't need to pay attention to it, guard the camp tightly, and no one is allowed to go out to fight."

Seeing that Zhao Yun ignored him, Ma Chao immediately asked his soldiers to scold him. He scolded him all the bad words, and criticized Zhao Yun's ancestors for 18 generations several times, while Zhao Yun's barracks were still closed.

This does not mean that Zhao Yun could not defeat Ma Chao, but that since Lu Ning came, he has firmly opposed the idiotic act of single-handed fight. For Lu Ning's army, he has always pursued group combat and did not cause single-handed fights. If there is a general who fights one-handed fight, he will be punished even if he wins.

After Ma Chao cursed for a while, he dismounted and rested, sending dozens of loudly voiced soldiers to continue yelling.

The snipers under Zhao Yun could not stand it, so they quietly raised the sniper crossbow machine in their hands, installed the crossbow arrow, and shot an arrow at the man who had the biggest voice and screamed the most fiercely.

As several snipers under Zhao Yun pulled the mover, several crossbow arrows flew towards the soldiers under Ma Chao who were shouting and scolding. Before he could react, the soldiers under Ma Chao who were shouting and scolding were hit by fierce crossbow arrows. The extremely powerful crossbow arrows shot in from the mouth and came out from behind, shooting the soldiers who were shouting and scolding and flying, and then smashed them to the ground.

Those soldiers who were scolding would never have thought that they would be attacked by crossbow arrows. After all, their distance was very far, basically between 300 and 500 steps, which was a distance that the bow and arrow could not shoot. But in fact, the snipers under Zhao Yun could indeed have lethality at such a long distance.

How could Ma Chao and others know that the effective range of the sniper crossbow under Zhao Yun is between 500 and 1,000 steps, which is a distance that human power cannot reach. However, the sniper crossbow under Zhao Yun adopts the principle of gear reduction and uses a shaking machine to snipe the key figures of the enemy.

When Ma Chao saw the soldiers who were shouting and scolding, he was shocked. It was really unexpected that he could still be shot at such a long distance; other soldiers who were shouting and scolding were also frightened and ran away, fearing that the next crossbow arrow would shoot him.

Helplessly, Ma Chao had to take his troops back to the camp with his subordinates.

For several consecutive days, Ma Chao led his troops to Zhao Yun's camp to challenge, but Zhao Yun ignored him and ignored him, allowing Ma Chao to shout.

Seeing that Zhao Yun's army was not in a hurry to fight, Ma Teng and Han Sui were anxious. The 200,000 joint army under the two men consumed too much food and grass every day; and the food and grass came from the poor and backward place in Xiliang to support it! Ma Teng and Han Sui just wanted to defeat Zhao Yun's army as soon as possible, and then let the Qiang cavalry return to their respective tribes; if it took longer, the food and grass would not be able to be replenished at all.

For Zhao Yun's army, although the food and grass are consumed very much, Lu Ning's rule contained a large amount of food and grass and weapons and equipment, so he didn't have to worry about the supply of food and grass. He just wanted to consider how to defeat the joint army of Ma Teng and Han Sui, and how to reduce the casualties of his soldiers. This is the issue Zhao Yun needs to consider.

Afterwards, Ma Teng and Han Sui studied it, they felt that they could not continue to waste like this and had to fight quickly, otherwise the consequences would be very serious. The more they consumed, the more beneficial it would be to Zhao Yun's army. If they were not good at making the joint army dispersed without fighting, this was something that the two of them didn't want to see.

Ma Teng and Han Sui sent envoys to Zhao Yun's camp to issue a letter of war, hoping to fight as soon as possible, and to make sure the date of the final battle; Zhao Yun did not talk nonsense after reading it, and directly signed the letter of war three days later.

After seeing Zhao Yun's reply, Ma Teng and Han Sui breathed a sigh of relief. They were afraid that Zhao Yun would ignore it and would have to waste it, which would be troublesome.

Ma Teng and Han Sui immediately asked the Iron Cavalry of the Qiang tribes to prepare for a decisive battle. The war horses that were kidnapped by Zhao Yun some time ago were also allowed to be replenished by the Qiang tribes. It did not have a major impact on the Iron Cavalry, but it only lost more than 60,000 war horses, which did not affect the decisive battle after filling them up.

Three days later, Ma Teng and Han Sui led a large army to fight. It can be seen that Zhao Yun's army did not respond at all, and the camp was still closed tightly, with no sign of sending troops. The two of them were puzzled and immediately sent Ma Chao to Zhao Yun's camp to ask.

Ma Chao went to Zhao Yun camp and shouted loudly: "Zhao Yun, today is the day of the decisive battle. Why haven't you sent troops yet? Do you want to break your trust in the world?"

Zhao Yun stood in front of the camp and smiled and said, "Ma Chao, why did I break my trust in the world?"

Ma Chao said: "Zhao Yun, didn't you reply and say that the decisive battle will take place in three days? Today is the day of the decisive battle. Why don't you send troops? Isn't this a breach of trust in the world?"

Zhao Yun laughed and said, "Ma Chao, you are right. I replied that the final battle will be fought three days later, but it may not be today? As long as it is any day in three days, you can fight to the final battle. What is this breach of trust?"

Ma Chao was stunned when he heard this! Zhao Yun's reply was indeed a decisive battle in three days, but there was really no specific date. This made Zhao Yun take advantage of the loophole, and it really couldn't be considered as Zhao Yun's breach of trust.

Ma Chao was furious and shouted and cursed: "Zhao Yun, you coward, you turtle, how could you mess with someone?"

Zhao Yun smiled and said, "Ma Chao, go back and tell Ma Teng and Han Sui that I will send troops to attack at any time. You must be prepared!"

Ma Chao shouted: "Zhao Yun, if you have the courage, set a date for the decisive battle, don't be like a sissy."

Seeing that the validity period was not long, Zhao Yun laughed and said, "Ma Chao, since you want to fight so much, let's tell you the date of the final battle. We will set a final battle the day after tomorrow."

Ma Chao said: "Zhao Yun, I hope you won't play any tricks anymore!"

When Ma Chao returned to the formation, he spoke with Ma Teng and Han Sui, and was so angry that they called Zhao Yun despicable and shameless, but there was no way. Zhao Yun did reply three days later, who would have thought that Zhao Yun would play a word game! He had to lead the army back.

Tian Feng smiled and said, "Zilong, in this way, the morale of the 200,000 troops under Ma Teng and Han Sui was greatly affected. After being plotted a few times, although there were no casualties, they were all inexplicably hit. It would be strange if the soldiers were not discouraged."

Zhao Yun said: "Although the 200,000 troops under Yuan Hao, Ma Teng and Han Sui were temporarily gathered together, they are all ethnic groups on horseback, and their strength cannot be ignored, especially in terms of riding and shooting."

Tian Feng said: "Zilong doesn't have to worry. Eighty-most two soldiers under our command are tried and tested soldiers. Who can compete with the world? Especially after the cavalry have individual crossbows, their strength is even more powerful."

Zhao Yun said: "Yuan Hao, I also know that there will be no problem with victory. I just want to minimize casualties. The next step for these soldiers is to conquer the main troops in the Western Regions. It is difficult to supplement after the losses are too large. There are fewer soldiers in our jurisdiction, and one less one less one."

Tian Feng said: "Zilong, don't worry! What we should prepare is almost done. If nothing unexpected happens, there will be no big casualties."
