Chapter 701: Fake Defeat? Persuasion!
"Everyone, Qin Niu is a man who is brave but lacks wisdom."
"I have made up my mind. I will use a fake defeat to lure him into danger and then capture him in one fell swoop."
After saying that, Wu Qi turned around and looked at the generals in the tent with a sharp gaze, looking at Qin Niu, the god of war who had just been born from Taoism and joined the Yellow Turban Army not long ago.
Wu Qi naturally also thought about whether he could capture him first to see if there was any chance to persuade him to surrender.
As soon as the words of feigned defeat were uttered, the camp immediately exploded.
Jia Fu, Xue Kui, Bai Wenbao and others who had already led another army to join Wu Qi's two armies were all experienced generals. When they heard that they were going to feign defeat, they couldn't help feeling unhappy.
"General, why would we be afraid of Qin Niu? Why should we pretend to be defeated? Let's just fight him head-on!"
Jia Fu was the first to stand up, his thick brows furrowed and his voice as loud as a bronze bell.
"Yes, General, we have been making great progress in Wuzhou during this period. When have we ever been afraid?"
"The act of feigning defeat will hurt morale and humiliate our reputation!"
Xue Kui on the side also quickly agreed, saying that they were all young and energetic and would never be willing to do such a thing.
Although Bai Wenbao didn't say anything, the unwillingness flashing in his eyes was enough to explain his attitude.
Seeing this, Wu Qi did not refute immediately, but smiled slightly.
He knew that these newly joined generals were real warriors with their own pride and dignity.
If they have experienced a few wars, seen life and death on the battlefield, and calmed down, it would be fine to let them do this.
But now that they have all just debuted, each of them is trying their best to make a name for themselves, it is indeed a bit difficult for them to do this.
But in Wu Qi's heart, he knew better that war was not a joke and victory was the ultimate goal!
Everything else is fake!
"Generals, I know what you are thinking, but the way of war is to be flexible, not to fight blindly."
"Qin Niu is a man who is brave but not smart enough. He has just entered the world from Taoism, so he naturally has some arrogance as a war god-level warrior."
"If we fight him directly, we may win, but we will definitely suffer heavy casualties, and even arouse Qin Niu's determination to fight to the death. If we feign defeat, he will let down his guard and become arrogant. That will be the time for us to strike back."
Wu Qi spoke slowly, his voice calm.
"Moreover, feigning defeat is not a real defeat, but a tactical strategy. We want to make Qin Niu think that we are vulnerable, so as to lure him deeper into our encirclement."
"When that happens, we will use our powerful force to annihilate them in one fell swoop. This will not only reduce our casualties, but also completely crush the morale of the Yellow Turban Army, killing two birds with one stone."
Seeing that the generals still had doubts, Wu Qi continued.
"not to mention"
Wu Qi glanced at Jia Fu and others.
"Do you think it's more impressive that our vanguard army took Wuzhou with only minor casualties, or that we took Wuzhou with heavy casualties?"
Wu Qi's words, like a gentle spring breeze, gradually dispelled the doubts in the hearts of the generals.
After listening to Wu Qi's analysis, the generals thought that if they could capture Wuzhou with minimal casualties, their record would naturally look better.
Although some of them may not care about such minor casualties, after all, there is always death in war.
But this is their first battle as a rookie, and as long as they can fight well, they naturally won’t have any other ideas.
Therefore, Jia Fu, who quickly thought of this, was the first to nod his agreement. Then Xue Kui, Bai Wenbao and others also expressed their willingness to obey Wu Qi's arrangements.
"it is good!"
Wu Qi was overjoyed when he saw this.
"Since the generals have no objection, let's prepare immediately."
"Remember, when you pretend to be defeated, you must act realistically and not let Qin Niu see the flaws."
"In addition, gather the 3,000 cavalrymen in our army and make them a mobile force on standby at any time. Once Qin Niu takes the bait, we will immediately launch an attack and strive to win the battle in one go!"
Wu Qi then began to carefully arrange the battlefield, taking every detail into consideration. The scouts sent by the commander-in-chief wandered around the camp of the Yellow Turban Army in Wuzhou like ghosts, always monitoring their movements.
Qin Niu, on the other hand, was completely immersed in the excitement of the upcoming showdown with Wu Qi, and was unaware of the impending crisis.
Soon the day of battle arrived. Qin Niu led his carefully selected elite soldiers, like a sharp sword drawn from its sheath, and pointed directly at Wu Qi's vanguard army.
At this time, Qin Niu was riding on a warhorse he had captured from the Yellow Turban Army - the Benxiao Green Horse. The two-meter-long steel spear in his hand was flashing with cold light, like a blue lightning that cuts through the battlefield. His body was surrounded by a green aura, and the green aura formed a layer of light cloud around him, as if it could withstand all the sharp edges in the world.
On the opposite side, Jia Fu was holding a Snowflake Silver Dragon Halberd, sitting astride the snow on the Scratching Lion Mountain. He exuded a fighting spirit, and his blood-red aura burned like a raging flame, shining brightly with his armor.
The two armies faced each other, and the atmosphere was so heavy that it could almost freeze into ice.
However, at this tense moment, Qin Niu suddenly smiled, and there was a bit of unruly and arrogant in that smile.
"Jia Fu, I heard that you were the champion in the martial arts competition held by the Duke of Zhenguo in Hengzhou in the past? Now, you are a fierce general in the Hengzhou vanguard army. After seeing you today, you are just like me!"
His voice penetrated the battlefield and reached Jia Fu's ears clearly, with a hint of provocation and disdain.
To be honest, when he first came down the mountain, he heard that the Duke of Zhenguo Su Ye was holding a martial arts conference in Hengzhou, and he originally wanted to join in the fun.
Unfortunately, he met the wrong person. As soon as he came down the mountain, he ran into Qin Shi, who was from the same clan as him, and persuaded him to join the Yellow Turban Army.
Therefore, when Qin Niu looked at Jia Fu opposite him, he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
If he had not been so gullible and fooled by that bastard Qin Shi, he might have been the general of the vanguard army in Hengzhou now.
At this time, Jia Fu on the opposite side frowned slightly when he heard this, and a barely perceptible coldness flashed in his eyes, but then it turned into a playful smile.
"You are such a Yellow Turban bandit! You are so arrogant! I hope your ability can match your words."
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly kicked the stirrup, and the Scratching Lion Mountain Climber rushed out like an arrow, and the Snowflake Silver Dragon Halberd drew a blood-red track in the air, pointing directly at Qin Niu's heart.
"Ding! Jia Fu's skills "Ding! Jia Fu's skills Tai Sui and Xing Xiu are activated!
Jia Fu's current basic military strength is 106, his weapon - Snowflake Silver Dragon Halberd has a military strength +1, his warhorse - Scratching Lion Mountain Snow has a military strength +1, and once Jia Fu's skill Tai Sui's effect is activated, his military strength is +9, and once his skill Xingxiu's effect is activated once, his military strength is +4.
Jia Fu's current force value has risen to 121! "
