Chapter 502: Second Attack
Xu Rong was puzzled, who is Jia Xu?
Jia Xu is indeed a person in the Xiliang Army, and he is indeed a person that Ye Chen is very concerned about, but he has never been found.
Today's Jia Xu has no reputation in the Xiliang Army at all, so it is normal for Ye Chen to not find it, he was originally in the Niu Auxiliary Army, but when Ye Chen attacked Mengjin that day, he didn't know if he died in battle.
"General Ye, since you are here in person today, then I will also give you face, you can take these people away, if you see General Ye again next time, my soldiers and horses will not show mercy anymore." Xu Rong said semi-threateningly.
"Thank you General Xu, next time we meet, we will just rely on our skills." Ye Chen arched his hand and said to Xu Rong.
Xu Rong frowned when he heard this and didn't say anything, his original intention was to let Ye Chen not come again, but listening to Ye Chen's meaning, he was not afraid of his threat, and he would come next time.
Xu Rong didn't say anything more, turned around and left with the army.
When Xu Rong walked away, Ye Chen let people get on the boat, and after picking up the people on the boat, it was already dawn.
At this time, Ye Chen found that it was very difficult to take away these people, because there were more than 10,000 people rescued this time, and after these people joined, it would be good if the ship did not sink, so they could only move forward at a rapid pace.
"Move these people to the other side, and then have a boat come and pick them up." Ye Chen couldn't take them away, so he could only put them on the other side first, and then wait for the rear to pick them up.
"Second brother, why is this Xu Rong so easy to speak, not attacking, but also letting us take away the people?" Zhao Yun asked puzzled.
"Hehe, Xu Rong is not stupid, we were already prepared at that time, he dared to attack him, he would definitely suffer, his cavalry could not be used at all, I guess, he had other tasks, he didn't want to waste time and troops with us, it should be that he found out about our existence and rushed over, and the original intention was not to come for us."
For this, Ye Chen also guessed based on Xu Rong's ambush of Cao Cao, in fact, Xu Rong was indeed to break the queen and ambush the allies, he would rush over Yes, his sentinels found the fleet in Liaodong, and he was afraid that the front army would be defenseless, so he rushed over to take a look.
"Well, it should be, but why did he let the people take them away?"
"Haha, Xu Rong is not generous at this point." Ye Chen smiled and said: "His soldiers and horses have intercepted most of the people, we have only taken more than 10,000 people, Dong Zhuo took more than 1 million people from Luoyang, what if he lost more than 10,000?" Along the way, our Xiliang army killed more than 10,000 people. Besides, it will take a long time for us to accept these people, so there will be no time to trouble them, which Xu Rong's account can be calculated very clearly. ”
Zhao Yun understood, so he didn't continue to ask.
"My lord, what should we do next?"
"Rest, they act during the day and rest at night, we turn around, attack them everywhere at night, it would take more than half a month to go to Chang'an, if we attack them, I think they can walk twenty miles a day, right?" Ye Chen said with a meaningful smile.
Zhao Yun and the others felt justified when they heard it, they were also able to rest on the ship, but they didn't rest very well, but there was no problem at all in the short term, and the Xiliang Army was different, marching during the day, if they didn't rest at night, then how could they rush the next day?
In this way, in less than three days, their combat effectiveness and speed will plummet, and when the soldiers are all tired, when they are harassed, the people will also be harassed, and if they are not well rested, they will be slow, and this time it will be even slower.
Although Ye Chen only attacked the rear of the Xiliang Army last night, the entire team was driven.
When the Xiliang army in front received the news, they immediately rushed to the rear, and there were people along the road, and the people blocked the road, so these Xiliang troops could only drive away and reinforce at the same time.
In this way, in the second half of the night, neither the people nor the soldiers could get a good rest, and the speed dropped significantly the next day.
Dong Zhuo tossed in the cart for the first half of the night, tossing a few palace maids he brought, and by the second half of the night, he was already asleep, Li Ru received the news and sent someone to deal with it, but he didn't dare to disturb it, so as not to be scolded.
So the next day, Dong Zhuo found that the marching speed had slowed down, and he was very dissatisfied, so he called Li Ru to reprimand him, which made Li Ru uncomfortable inside and out.
On this day, the whole team walked more than 30 miles, the speed was greatly reduced, and they didn't have a good rest after walking for a day, and it was not bad to be able to walk more than 30 miles the next day, after all, they were ordinary people, not soldiers.
In the night, Ye Chen reappeared with the fleet, and there were already scouts on the shore to reconnoiter everywhere and report the news, this time it will not be like last time, he was not well prepared, and he was almost attacked by Xu Rong.
"Lord, we found a large amount of baggage in their ranks, suspected to be Dong Zhuo's property snatched from Luoyang." The scout came to report the news.
"Okay, great, robbing them of these burdens can make Dong Zhuo feel more distressed than robbing their people." Ye Chen said happily.
Today, he originally planned to attack and harass, wanting to make them tired for a few days first, and then force Dong Zhuo to compromise, if he didn't compromise, he would kill him again when the time came.
Therefore, Ye Chen did not plan to sneak attack their rear army this time, but instead attacked their central part to make them even more chaotic.
Now he unexpectedly let Ye Chen find their baggage.
This time, Ye Chen still set off with five thousand soldiers, and the soldiers on the ship were ready to respond.
Quietly approaching, this time the section is still not close to the Yellow River, it is more than ten miles away from the Yellow River.
"Second brother, they guard a lot of troops, it's not so easy to snatch the treasure?" After the observation, Tai Shici said to Ye Chen.
"Hehe, that's not necessarily, you see that although they sent people to guard, they think that they are in the middle, completely defenseless, and they are really tired, and we are not going to rob all their treasures, we will grab some of them and run, and come back tomorrow night." Ye Chen laughed obscenely after speaking.
Ye Chen didn't act immediately, he had to make some preparations, otherwise it wouldn't be so easy to run after grabbing.
I found a lot of firewood, grass and stones, and prepared them on the side of the road five miles away, so that when they could run, I could stop the pursuers and buy myself a little time.
After getting ready, it was also the second half of the night, and at this time, Ye Chen and the others touched it again.
"Kill."
With a shout, the whole army was killed, and most of the enemy was still lying on the ground.
Although the Xiliang army was elite, it was still defeated by a sneak attack.
Ye Chen and the others rushed out, rushed directly into the baggage team, and then launched a massacre, and many Xiliang soldiers were killed before they could stand up.
"Big brother, Yun Chang, lead people to the front to block the enemy, third brother, follow me to block the enemy on the other side, and leave a thousand people to carry the property quickly." After entering the formation, Ye Chen separated the army, killing the enemy and preparing to resist the team that came to support.
