Chapter 80: Wuhuan retreats

Wushu continued to attack and was also helpless, the crowd below was excited, if he retreated like this, then his prestige still wanted, maybe this person hasn't gone back yet, he can't control the people below.

But when it was time to attack, he found that he did not have many troops to attack, and if he had to leave a force on all sides to defend, then there would be too few men to participate in the siege, and he had to have a large number of men to suppress the archers on the city, otherwise his losses would be incalculable.

The siege battle began again, but this time the siege was not strong, and the defense was relatively easy, because the Wuhuan people did not dare to attack with all their strength, and the power of the arrow array was much smaller.

The most powerful thing about the Wuhuan people is the arrow array, the arrow array falls like a torrential rain, sometimes it is very difficult to defend with a shield, if it is a wooden shield that is useless at all, it can still penetrate, only like the guard battalion, a good shield and excellent armor can be defended.

The rain of arrows of the Wuhuan people has not been broken, but it is not fierce, and the rest of the siege team has not been sent, so the guard battalion on the city wall only uses shields to protect themselves, they did not fight back, and there were casualties when they counterattacked, and now it is not bad to consume the arrows of the Wuhuan people.

Once the Wuhuan people send troops to climb the city wall, then the guard battalion will fight back fiercely, and now there is no need, the rain of arrows alone will not hurt people, and it will not be able to occupy the city.

"Big brother, what is this Wuhuan man going to do?" Ye Chen was very puzzled, according to this level of arrow rain, and did not send troops to occupy the city wall, it could be said that it was meaningless for the Wuhuan people to do this.

"The Wuhuan people either want to retreat, or they are waiting for reinforcements." Tai Shi Ci thought for a while and said.

Ye Chen also felt justified when he heard it, but he had too little information at present, so he couldn't judge what this Wuhuan man was going to do.

It is completely possible to retreat, and now according to their strength, it is very difficult to take Yejiabao, and it is very possible to wait for reinforcements.

If it is a retreat, the Wuhuan people keep the rain of arrows, so as to arrange the retreat, after all, the shipment of materials is not so fast, if it is waiting for reinforcements, they are now tired of the army.

In fact, what Ye Chen didn't know was that Wushu was organizing a retreat, and it was no longer meaningful to attack Yejiabao, their purpose this time was to loot, if the casualties were too large, then the looting would lose its meaning, and the looting was also for food, for survival, and now it was no good for him to fight with Yejiabao here.

But Wushu was also afraid that the people of Yejiabao would come out to make trouble, after all, he robbed half of Liaodong this time, and it was not so easy to transport these materials.

Wushu let people surround Yejiabao on the one hand, and let people hurry up to carry supplies, this time there are a lot of things looted in the south, I don't know how much food alone, these things are not so easy to transport back. But this time I came to Liaodong for food, and no matter what, I have to bring it back, otherwise I don't know how many people will starve to death.

Ye Jiabao didn't know what Wushu was going to do, so he still took strict precautions until the Wuhuan people retreated in the evening.

"Big brother, is this Wuhuan man going to retreat?" After the Wuhuan people retreated, Ye Chen stood on the city wall and said to Tai Shici.

"Well, it's very likely, judging by their actions today, they're going to retreat." Tai Shi Ci looked at the Wuhuan people's military tent and said.

"Second brother, I have an idea." Tai Shi Ci turned to Ye Chen again and said,

"Big brother, please speak."

"Second brother, the defense of Yejiabao should not be a problem now, even if I am not here, so I want to go out of the city to find Yun Chang." Tai Shici analyzed.

Ye Chen knew that since the last battle, as long as the Wuhuan people had no reinforcements, they would not be able to attack Yejiabao again, and the defense of Yejiabao now would not be a problem.

"Okay, it's more convenient for the eldest brother to go there, Yun Chang may have some things that are difficult to decide."

After all, Guan Yu has joined for a relatively short time, and he still doesn't dare to make decisions on some things without authorization, but Tai Shici is Ye Chen's eldest brother, so many things are much more convenient.

"Well, I'll take a few people to rush out later, this Wuhuan person is not tightly surrounded now, and there is no difficulty in rushing out."

Ye Chen took a look, although the Wuhuan people still surrounded Yejiabao, but the encirclement was quite loose, and it was really not a matter for Tai Shi Ci to rush out, so Ye Chen was not worried about Tai Shi Ci's safety.

That night, after midnight, Tai Shici rushed out on horseback with Lu Wolf and a dozen people. Lu Wolf was good at cavalry warfare, so Tai Shi Ci took him, and the other dozen or so guard battalions were only used as scouts, after all, they only knew the general direction of Guan Yu, and they still needed to rely on manpower to find him.

After Tai Shici left, Ye Chen arranged the city defense and went to rest, and he didn't know what would happen tomorrow, so it wasn't time to relax yet.

That night, in the second half of the night, Tai Shici found Guan Yu.

"Ziyi, why are you here, is there something wrong with Yejiabao?"

"Yejiabao is no problem, it's just that the Wuhuan people's sudden behavior is more strange, and I judge with my second brother that the possibility of this Wuhuan people retreating is extremely high."

"Ziyi is right, the scouts received Wuhuan people today and are indeed packing up their things." Guan Yu actually judged that the Wuhuan people might have to retreat, but his duty was to ensure the safety of Yejiabao, so he didn't think about anything else.

The two discussed for a long time before going to rest, but it was almost dawn, so the two of them took a little rest.

Early the next morning, Ye Chen went up to the city wall very early, and the Wuhuan people had no intention of attacking, but only sent cavalry to cruise around Yejiabao.

In the afternoon, the Wuhuan people still did not attack, and at this time, Ye Chen had basically judged that the Wuhuan people might have to retreat.

Wushu was very distressed, because there were too many things, and the horses could not be transported so much, mainly because there were too many casualties in Yejiabao, so that many materials could not be transported back.

Now he is in his early 10,000s, and he has to bring back a lot of prisoners, and the pressure is indeed very great.

The Wuhuan people didn't attack all day long, they just sent cavalry to cruise around Yejiabao, Ye Chen didn't know what was going on outside, and he didn't know if Tai Shici had arrived at Guan Yu, thinking that with the ability of the two of them, if there was a chance, they would definitely seize it.

Another day passed, and early in the morning, it was still the same, but in the afternoon, the Wuhuan people suddenly retreated.

"Report, the young family master, General Taishi and General Guan asked me to tell the young family master that the Wuhuan people are retreating, and they will take the cavalry to see if there is a chance."

The Wuhuan people were about to retreat, Ye Chen was a lot relieved, at least the Ye family didn't need to bear such a big casualty.

Ye Chen immediately sent several teams of scouts to observe the movements of the Wuhuan people, and could not let them kill the horse pistol, while still letting the guard battalion closely defend Yejiabao.

The Wuhuan people retreated and had to organize a long procession, but fortunately, the entire Liaodong was scared except for the Ye family, and no one dared to pursue or intercept them, otherwise their forces were scattered, and they were easy to be attacked.

Guan Yu and Tai Shici took a thousand guard battalions to monitor from a distance, looking for a chance to make a move.

"Yun Chang, they are marching like this, it is still possible for us to attack and kill them and retreat safely."

"It's not difficult, it's just that it's difficult to grab their things, they are cavalry, they can quickly support them, and they can't be transported away if they grab things." Guan Yu stroked his beard and said.

"Well, things can't be transported, is it possible for us to rescue those captives, most of them are women." Tai Shi Ci was very annoyed that the Wuhuan people had taken women captive.

"Alas, we don't have enough troops, only a thousand men, and those prisoners are in the middle of the ranks."

"Report, General Guan, General Tai Shici, the young head of the family is coming to report, he is organizing two thousand people to come, so that the two generals can find an opportunity." While Tai Shici and Guan Yu were discussing, a guard battalion came to report.

It turned out that Ye Chen judged that if the Wuhuan people wanted to retreat, there must be no reinforcements, and the other party would definitely bring a lot of things when they came to loot and go back, and the team was elongated, so he would have an opportunity to take advantage of it.

Therefore, Ye Chen asked a 1,000 guard battalion to guard Yejiabao, and mobilized 5,000 Zhuang Ding to help guard it, and he went to find more than 2,000 horses that Guan Yu had robbed, and then took 2,000 people to support Guan Yu and Tai Shici.

Ye Chen was not worried about retaliation for attacking and killing the Wuhuan people, if the Wuhuan people became angry after being intercepted and killed, and turned back to attack Yejiabao, then there was no need to worry.

There are guards in Yejiabao, and Ye Chen and his three thousand soldiers and horses are outside Yejiabao, if the Wuhuan people are not guarded, then they will definitely sneak attack from behind, if the defense does not arrange five thousand men and horses, it will not work at all, if there are more people, there will be less siege power, so Yejiabao does not have to worry about safety.

Tai Shi Ci and Guan Yu both smiled, with three thousand men and horses, even if they couldn't grab things, it was still possible to rescue the captured people.

Ye Chen arranged the defense of Yejiabao before leading the cavalry to chase Guan Yu and them.

After Guan Yu and Tai Shici received Ye Chen's report, they dispersed scouts to look for fighters.

"Big brother, Yun Chang, what's the situation?" That night, Ye Chen led people to find Guan Yu and Tai Shici.

Guan Yu and Tai Shici introduced the situation to Ye Chen.

"Regardless of whether you can grab things or kill more Wuhuan people, the most important thing is to rescue the captured people first, and the rest will be considered after the people are rescued."

Tai Shi Ci and Guan Yu agreed very much with Ye Chen's approach, the people at this time didn't care, like Ye Chen loved the people so much, it can be said that the entire Han Dynasty couldn't find a second person for the time being.

Ye Chen, Tai Shici and Guan Yu made some plans through the news of the scout, anyway, it would take more than ten days to leave Liaodong at their speed, and they still had a chance.
