The next day, Ju Yi still did not attack in a big way, and the two sides continued to see-saw.

The day was soon over.

"My lord, is this Juyi going to be in a stalemate with us forever? You can't tell the winner for a year. Looking at the retreating Yuan Jun, Huang Zhong said.

"I'm afraid this Ju Yi is also waiting for the opportunity, the loss of the strong attack is too great, but it is not good not to attack, as long as Zilong continues to make trouble for Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao will definitely exert pressure again, and I am afraid that Ju Yi's attack will be more fierce than anyone else."

Ye Chen's guess was right, but Ju Yi's was waiting for an opportunity.

For several days, Ju Yi maintained the same rhythm of attack, but he would go around the city wall a few times a day to observe the situation of the Youzhou army.

In the past few days, Yuan Shao sent two more urgent letters to Ju Yi, asking him to attack as soon as possible.

Ju Yi withstood the doubts of his subordinates and the urging of Yuan Shaocai, but there was no major action.

"General, and the state urgently."

At this time, Ju Yi was observing the battlefield, and suddenly a soldier came to report.

Ju Yi's brows stretched quietly, and then took the battle report.

He knew very well that this must be a victory report, and it would not be a defeat report, but he was still not at ease without reading the specific content.

Sure enough, the battle report was that his army of 30,000 had already occupied the place that was occupied by Guan Yu before.

The battle of the state was won, but Ju Yi was not much happy.

Because, the two sides did not break out into much battle, but Guan Yu took the initiative to abandon the city and flee north.

Without annihilating Guan Yu's army, there were many more variables out of thin air.

"It's the year of the vast grassland to the north, and even if you want to come back, it's not so fast." Ju Yi thought as he clenched the battle report tightly.

"Go back." After a long time, Ju Yi popped out two words, and then returned to the big tent with his own soldiers.

After going back, Ju Yi spread out the map and looked at it for a long time.

"Order Adjutant General Li to intensify the offensive and attack day and night, and at the same time order the soldiers and horses of Bingzhou to leave 5,000 men and horses to defend, and the rest of the army will move eastward, attack Youzhou, and attack Youzhou on both sides."

Ju Yi said decisively.

With more than 60,000 soldiers and horses, Ju Yi didn't have enough confidence to defeat Ye Chen, but with more than 20,000 soldiers and horses, Ju Yi thought that he could fight.

After observing for many days, he found that the county town had many weaknesses, and most of the troops defending the city were not the elite Youzhou army, at least half of the army was relatively weak.

"Lord, Yuan's offensive has suddenly become fierce, I'm afraid something has changed." Ye Chen was resting in the county office, and Zhang Yi walked briskly to say.

"The change is certain, if it is not for the change in the state, it is Zilong's change, so let Ju Yi prepare for a big attack." Ye Chen replied.

The city has been surrounded, and Ye Chen and they can't get any news, but Ye Chen is not worried, if the major affairs of the entire Youzhou are in danger, no matter how difficult it is, Tai Shici will send someone to send the information in.

"My lord, what shall we do?" Zhang Yi asked.

"This is a good thing, order the army to deal with it carefully, pay attention to casualties, I am afraid that Ju Yi will not attack, once there is a big attack, there will be a flaw, and we will have a chance."

Everything Ye Chen did was to make Ju Yi attack, the more fierce the better.

"Kill, kill."

In the county office, Ye Chen could already hear the fierce shouting and killing on the battlefield.

Listening to the voice, it is many times louder than before, and it seems that this Ju Yi is really going to pay a lot of money.

In other places, Ye Chen was no longer worried, Ju Yi's army of more than 60,000 points was dragged here by himself, and his ability to move the army was limited.

Yuan's army began to launch a fierce attack.

Ju Yi hasn't done anything recently, at least he has prepared a lot of siege equipment.

Charging carts were pushed out, while a large number of soldiers were holding ladders and preparing to charge.

The archers also came to the front and launched covering shots at the head of the city.

Arrows from both sides rained down, and the soldiers shouted to kill each other, and at the same time braved the rain of arrows to attack each other.

Ju Yi still has two moves, and he has a huge advantage at the beginning of the attack.

The attack in the past few days made Yuan Jun find some flaws, and today he grabbed a few flaws and began to attack.

"Let the elite go up and press Yuan Jun down." In the past few days, Ye Chen has not let the elite army go up to the city wall, and now that the Yuan army is attacking fiercely, they must be allowed to go up, otherwise the casualties will be relatively large

Both sides threw in a large number of troops and began to fight.

"Part of the priority, give me a fierce attack." After Ju Yi finished arranging the task, he went to the front line to supervise the battle, and as soon as he came up, he ordered the soldiers to storm on all sides.

Under normal circumstances, the siege is to besiege three without one, and Ju Yi does not want to do this.

He knew very well that this Ye Chen would not evacuate easily, and it was useless to encircle the three without one.

Attacking from all sides allows more armies to deploy and increase the city's defenses.

A large number of soldiers poured in, and after attacking for more than an hour, some soldiers rushed to the head of the city, this county is not a fortified city after all, just an ordinary county town.

"This Ju Yi is really decisive, if it is someone else, I am afraid that he will be able to capture the city in three days." Ye Chen stood at the head of the city and said.

"Lord, it's too much pressure to be so defensive, it's better for me to lead my troops out and charge and kill, so that the enemy doesn't dare to attack so unscrupulously." Huang Zhong said.

The attack of the Yuan army can indeed be used with an unbridled attack, attacking at the same time with four gates, and leaving only a small reserve army.

In fact, of course Ju Yi would not put all the army into it, not to mention whether Ye Chen and they would come out to attack them, even if they won the battle at that time, Ye Chen and they would inevitably flee, and at this time, there must be a prepared army to pursue.

Ju Yi actually has a reserve army, but it doesn't feel like there is any.

Ju Yi's method was very simple, he left a small amount of reserve army, and all the rest was invested, but he divided the attacking army into several batches, and the army waiting for the attack could become a mobile army at any time.

Ye Chen said to Huang Zhong: "This is not the time yet, after we hold on for two more days, then we will be able to lure Ju Yi into pursuit." ”

Ye Chen's arrangement, the place of the decisive battle is not here, the place he chose to fight the decisive battle is in Dai County, and that is the place of the final decisive battle.

So Ye Chen was not in a hurry, it was only the first day of onslaught.

Two days later, three days after the outbreak of the Great War between the two sides, both sides suffered huge losses during these three days.

Ju Yifang lost more than 10,000 horses, and Ye Chen's battle losses were as high as more than 8,000 people.

The ratio of battle losses between the defensive and offensive armies reached one to one, five points, which showed how much loss Ye Chen had suffered.

There will be such a big loss, because this county town is too broken, it is not very strong in the first place, and now it is under the fiercest attack of Yuan's army, and it will soon be flawed everywhere.

And Yuan's army attacked day and night, so that Ye Chen's army could not rest, and its combat strength was greatly reduced.

In fact, Ye Chen rarely let cavalry join the battle, and even if he did, he would let them act as archers.

The cavalry is Ye Chen's elite, and it is also the key to Ye Chen's implementation of the next steps.
