Chapter 820: Defeat after defeat
Destroying the broken enemy, Ye Chen continued to advance.
It took a few hours, but it was not too important to Ye Chen, he knew that this army had been scattered and could not recover quickly.
As long as they are on the road, there is no chance for the machine to recover, unless they enter the city to rest, but Ye Chen will not give them this chance.
The two sides engaged in a new round of catch-up.
Although Juyi was mostly infantry, they were ahead of the curve for a few hours to a day, and a large number of obstacles could be placed on the way.
"Report, general, a few hours ago, the army of Youzhou caught up with our palace army, and now it is estimated that our palace army has been annihilated." The scout report said.
Ju Yi's face was expressionless, and he pondered for a while and said, "Speed up the march, we must enter the city as soon as possible." ”
So Ju Yi continued to walk with the army.
Later, after Ye Chen annihilated the army behind the palace, he also led people to continue walking.
"Lord, look at the traces, it seems that the army in Jizhou has been organized." Huang Zhong said.
There is a great difference between a chaotic army and an orderly army.
"Ju Yi is not simple, but even if he has organized the army, his combat effectiveness must not be high."
Although Ju Yi had already organized the army, Ye Chen was still not worried and continued to chase with the army.
Along the way, Juyi's men and horses kept running ahead, and at the same time made a lot of obstacles along the way.
Ju Yi ran for almost three days, and finally entered a relatively large city that he had broken before.
There are some castles along the road, but the city walls are short, or there is no hoarding of food in the castle, so Juyi does not dare to enter.
The city is short, and after entering, it can't stop the Youzhou army, and if there is no food, they will end up the same after being besieged for a few days.
After entering the city, Ju Yi immediately asked the soldiers to start resting, the army that barely slept was almost exhausted, and if they didn't sleep again, the enemy didn't even have the strength to hold a weapon when they came to kill.
After entering the city, Ju Yi was also tired, so he went to rest first.
The army rested for a long time, and finally eased up, and Ju Yi asked some of the people to start setting up defenses.
At this time, a troop of 10,000 troops behind Juyi also caught up and entered the city.
In this way, Ju Yi has 20,000 horses in his hands, and there are about 20,000 horses on the road, and it is estimated that he will be able to join Ju Yi and them after dawn tomorrow.
At this time, Ju Yi was given a chance to breathe.
It is too ironic that the 100,000 army was so high-spirited when it entered Youzhou, but now it is a hasty retreat.
On the other hand, a general surnamed Wang led 20,000 defeated troops to hurry.
Of course, this General Wang doesn't have the ability to bow right, so the speed is not very fast.
Fortunately, he set up a lot of obstacles along the way, so he hasn't been caught up yet.
When the general Wang also received the 5,000 soldiers and horses of the palace and was chased by the Youzhou army, he was also afraid, so he learned to bow and yi, left another 5,000 men and horses, and then fled with the remaining 15,000 people.
However, the 5,000 men and horses left behind by General Wang were just an ordinary general, so how much could they do at this time.
The prestige and ability of the generals of the army behind the palace must be very high, otherwise they will not be able to control it at all.
Sure enough, in the second half of the night, they were caught up by Ye Chen and others, and with one charge, the five thousand people collapsed, and then surrendered one after another.
"Haha, the lord is like that, how can he compare with our Youzhou army." Zhang Yi said with a laugh on the side.
The Youzhou Army has always looked down on the Jizhou Army, and it looks down on it even more at this time.
"Take care of these captives, and send a team back."
It took Ye Chen about an hour to solve this team behind the palace, mainly to collect these routs.
General Wang, who was in front, learned that the Youzhou army had caught up again, leaving a few hundred-strong teams to set up roadblocks, and then he also hurriedly ran away.
In the second half of the night, they finally couldn't run, and then stopped to rest.
"Hey, why is there a sound of horses' hooves ahead?"
"Could it be that reinforcements have arrived?"
"It must be reinforcements."
Hearing the sound of horses' hooves, Yuan Jun looked very "calm", and most of the soldiers were still sitting on the ground.
The sound of horses' hooves came from the front, and there should be no enemies.
These Yuan troops didn't dare to think that they were enemies, and if there was an enemy in front of them, then none of their troops would be able to escape.
"Kill."
The sound of horses' hooves finally approached, but it was accompanied by the shouts of death.
When the other party killed, many Yuan Jun didn't react at all.
Why are enemies in front of them?
"Quick, stand up, stand up."
Some generals shouted in a hurry.
But the enemy has already slain, the spears drink blood, and the horse's hooves are urging life.
Zhao Zilong, led by the white horse and silver spear, is extremely powerful.
That's right, it was Zhao Yun who killed him.
When Ye Chen broke through from Juyi's encirclement, he sent a message to Zhao Yun and asked him to rush over.
However, Zhao Yun's whereabouts were uncertain, and the messengers were a few days late in delivering the letter to Zhao Yun, so Zhao Yun was a few days later than originally planned.
In the end, Guan Yu arrived first, but it was all the same, and Zhao Yun came in time.
Zhao Yun was a murderer, and between the spears, the enemies were killed one after another.
His subordinates are also a group of murderers, who kill people when they see them, and their corpses will be scattered all over the field in a moment.
A peerless murderer, with a group of murderers, into the midst of an enemy with little resistance, is destined to bleed.
"Surrender or kill."
Ploughing back and forth in the enemy formation, Zhao Yun felt that they had little resistance at all, and it was not interesting to kill them, so he shouted.
"Puff~"
The sound was like heaven, and as soon as they heard that they could surrender, many soldiers threw down their weapons and then surrendered on their knees.
After several days of escaping, coupled with the lack of an organization, their will was already very weak.
There are pursuers in the rear, and there is a strong enemy in front, how to fight this battle, you can only surrender.
Zhao Yun didn't expect this battle to be so easy, and while he began to collect his weapons, he separated the surrendered troops.
After dawn, Ye Chen and the others also arrived.
"Haha, Zilong, I made you pick up a big bargain." Huang Zhong said with a smile.
"No, I didn't expect them to have no combat strength at all, and they surrendered almost without resistance." Zhao Yun said with a smile.
"Third brother, fortunately you arrived in time, otherwise it would not be easy to catch up with these people."
Ye Chen also said with a smile, he was very happy, most of Ju Yi's 100,000 army had been annihilated, and Ju Yi did not have many soldiers and horses in his hands, so he was no longer a threat.
Several people were very happy when they met, and the troops were very tired from marching all the way, so Ye Chen asked people to rest for half a day.
The main reason is that there are too many prisoners, and Ye Chen doesn't dare to be careless, he needs to wait for Tai Shi Ci to come up with the infantry in the back and hand over these prisoners to them before he dares to continue the pursuit.
When Ju Yi received that the army behind him was defeated by Zhao Yun, he was silent for a long time.
"Defeated so badly, I am a sinner in Jizhou."
"Order the whole army to return to Jizhou."
There is no need to defend the city, and more importantly, it can't stand it.
If there are more than 40,000 soldiers and horses, Ju Yi is confident that it will be no problem until Yuan Shao returns victoriously from Qingzhou, but now there are only 20,000 people, and there are reinforcements in Youzhou, how can this battle be fought.
Even if Ju Yi is the rebirth of the god of war, they will not be able to hold out for long in this situation, not to mention that they are facing the soldiers and horses of Youzhou.
