Yuan Shu organized a large army to break through this time, but also divided his army into five parts: front, middle, rear, left, and right.

This front army is naturally the Lu Bu soldiers and horses led by Chen Deng, as the cannon fodder for the breakthrough and the pioneer of the road, it can be regarded as the fastest part of the soldiers and horses in the Yuan Shu breakthrough army.

The central part is Yuan Shu's own area, which includes not only the nearly 20,000 Yuan Shu's pro-army guards led by Ji Ling, but also the money and treasures that Yuan Shu brought out from Shouchun, Yuan Shu's harem beauties and children, etc., which has slowed down Yuan Shu's march a lot.

Although the money and treasures that Yuan Shu brought out from Shouchun were all loaded into the car, these money and treasures were not only gold and copper coins, but also many treasures of different volumes, such as coral, jade and the like, most of these things need to be loaded in boxes, some of them are heavier, and some things can't resist bumps, if they are broken, they will be destroyed, so to transport them safely, the speed is naturally limited.

In addition, although Yuan Shu's harem beauties, sons and children, although they all sit in carriages and do not need them to follow on foot, these beauties also need eunuchs and maidservants to serve them.

These people are not qualified to ride in a chariot, and their walking speed is certainly not comparable to the marching speed of a rude soldier, so even if they are urged to run, this speed cannot be fast.

What's more, the physical strength of eunuchs and maidservants is not good, the more they are urged, the easier it is to lose their physical strength and can only fall on the side of the road and cannot move forward half a step.

Therefore, just in the central Chinese army area where Yuan Shu is located, the speed of this kind of march can only be similar to the speed of ordinary walking, and it can't raise much speed to move quickly, where is there a bit of the meaning of being pursued and breaking through.

As for Yuan Shu's rear army, which was left in the last part, the speed of the march was even slower.

This rear army was originally composed of the families of subordinate officials who came out of Shouchun City with Yuan Shu and nearly 10,000 palace rear troops, but as Zhu Wei and Cao Cao's troops gradually approached, under the panic brought by the pursuing soldiers, this Yuan army's rear army also became a chaotic situation like a refugee fleeing for their lives.

There is already a lack of reasonable restraint and management, and the chaotic crowd composed of officials, family members, and a large number of servants, slaves and maids is even more difficult to control on the road, and there is no order at all.

In many cases, when something happens in the front, it will stop at will, so the overall forward trend of the rear army will also stagnate for a long time.

However, many of them are not really ordinary people, most of them are the family members of Yuan Shu's close ministers, so the Yuan Shu soldiers and generals who are in charge of the palace dare not go up to urge, they can't afford to offend.

Therefore, all the pressure can only be placed on the left and right flanks arranged by Yuan Shu to block the army, and can only hope that they can block the pursuit of Zhu Wei and Cao Cao, and can delay the time for Yuan Shu's central army and rear army to retreat.

For this reason, Yuan Shu also arranged 20,000 and 30,000 troops on the left and right flanks respectively, so that they could find suitable terrain and stop on the spot to defend themselves to intercept the pursuit of Zhu Wei and Cao Cao's army.

But the combat effectiveness of Yuan Shu's army is really a little inconclusive, even if the breakout army brought out by Yuan Shu this time can be regarded as the elite composition of the army, but in the face of Zhu Wei and Cao Cao's pursuing army, there is still no way to compare.

Even if Zhu Wei and Cao Cao want to act again, they can't act too fake.

Even if the army led by the two of them only used ordinary offensive strength, it still made these Yuan Shu troops who were responsible for blocking them appear to be defeated from time to time.

As a result, even if the two armies of Zhu Wei and Cao Cao took the initiative to slow down the speed of the pursuit, they were getting closer and closer to the rear area of Yuan Shu's breakthrough army.

So there were all kinds of bad military reports, and they reported to Yuan Shu, who was located in the position of the Chinese army, that Zhu Wei's army had approached where, and that Cao Cao's army had just defeated two thousand blocking troops or something.

In a panic, Yuan Shu couldn't come up with any countermeasures at all, so he could only keep assigning troops to block the attack, and asked his troops to hold on to it.

This time, Yuan Shu broke through, leaving his henchman Zhang Xun to preside over the defense in Shouchun City, and let Chen Ji and Liang Gang as auxiliary generals, and he brought Ji Ling, Le Zhuo, and Li Feng with him.

In fact, in Yuan Shu's heart, he still hoped that Zhang Xun could use the tall Shouchun City to hold the siege of Zhu Wei, Cao Cao, and Liu Bei, and hoped that Zhang Xun could defend the nest for him and drag down the offensive of Zhu Wei, Cao Cao, and Liu Bei.

It's just that Yuan Shu himself was so timid that he didn't dare to stay and defend the city in person, for fear that there would be nowhere for him to escape.

Then on the way to break through now, Yuan Shu only sent Le to resist Cao Cao's pursuers, and sent Li Feng to resist Zhu Wei's pursuers, but let Ji Ling, who has the best military ability, guard his left and right.

I can't say that Yuan Shu's arrangement is not good, it can only be said that he already has the worst plan, if Le Jue and Li Feng can't resist it, at least he can let Ji Ling protect him and escape for his life, as long as he can survive, everything will naturally come back in the future.

It's a pity that the abilities of Le Zuo and Li Feng are too ordinary, that is, the force value has reached the realm of second-rate and third-rate, and the other military command abilities are all third-rate level.

On Yuan Shu's side, they could only serve as ordinary generals who commanded soldiers and horses, but now they are asked to command tens of thousands of troops to resist Zhu Wei and Cao Cao's pursuers, what good way can they come up with.

Therefore, Le Jie and Li Feng could only send their troops one by one to block Zhu Wei and Cao Cao's pursuers, and as a result, this was like pieces of meat fed to Zhu Wei and Cao Cao, which were swallowed by Zhu Wei and Cao Cao again and again.

But Le Jie and Li Feng had no other ideas, they could only hope that Zhu Wei and Cao Cao could eat more slowly, so that they could block it for a longer time.

However, the speed of Yuan Shu's march on this side could not be improved at all, and even became slower and slower, so that Yuan Shu's army, which was blocking on the left and right flanks, was wiped out and defeated by thousands, thousands, which really made people angry and annoyed by Yuan Shu's so-called breakthrough.

Even Zhu Wei and Cao Cao's side were a little impatient to chase, they had already released water like this, and this Yuan Shu still had no self-knowledge at all.

If it weren't for Zhu Wei and Cao Cao's side to restrain the intensity of the pursuit, now Yuan Shu's army that broke through would have been completely defeated, it can be said that Zhu Wei and Cao Cao have already sent people to contact each other to discuss, whether to put more pressure on Yuan Shu, and let them help Yuan Shu drop some baggage, so that Yuan Shu can run faster.

Otherwise, when Yuan Shu enters the ambush trap in Quyang County, he doesn't know when.

At this time, the sky has gradually darkened, Yuan Shu broke through at about two o'clock in the afternoon, and it is almost four o'clock in the evening, but Yuan Shu's breakthrough army fell in the rear part of the rear army, and it was just less than four miles away from Shouchun City.

Now because the sky is getting darker, the speed of Yuan Shu's army breaking through is getting slower and slower, which is too slow......
