Chapter 515: A Mess of Xiliang's Army
With a huge marching team, Dong Zhuo's treasure had nowhere to hide, and Ye Chen and the others quickly found Dong Zhuo's team transporting treasures.
Unlike last time, this time it was no longer the people who transported the treasures, but the Xiliang army himself.
"Give me some spirits." The generals of the Xiliang army patrolled back and forth, reminding the soldiers, but the morale of the soldiers was not high, and the words of the Xiliang generals did not have much effect.
This is the team of the Xiliang Army transporting treasures, with more than 10,000 people, escorting more than 800 carts, and hundreds of war horses carrying treasures.
The morale of the entire escort team was very low, walking one or twenty miles a day, and it had been in the field for several days, and everyone was very tired.
Several scouts from Liaodong had quietly approached the team escorting the treasure.
A few hundred meters away, the scouts of Liaodong hid on the hills, recorded the details of this team, and then sent them to Ye Chen.
The march continues, but the speed is very slow, and the slow march is very easy to drain the physical strength and morale of the soldiers, so the morale of the soldiers is extremely low now.
"Quick, pass the news to the lord, and a few of us will disperse and keep an eye on them."
The scouts in Liaodong are very professional, they have recorded the details and sent them back, and there are special personnel who will keep an eye on this part of the team to provide reliable information for the large forces in the rear.
"It's hard to start." Ye Chen received information from the scouts and summoned several generals over.
"More than 10,000 troops are guarded, and they are all cavalry, it is easy to attack them, and it is easy to rob property, but it is not so easy to evacuate safely." Tai Shi Ci said.
In the last attack, the Xiliang army was completely defenseless, but this time the enemy was already prepared.
"Lord, I think we can only wait for the opportunity, and when this team is in a position in our favor, we are attacking." Guan Yu suggested.
Ye Chen nodded and said, "Well, it can only be like this, but now it can't make the Xiliang army feel better, send a team of 1,000 people, divided into a team of dozens of people, to harass and sneak attack them." ”
Ye Chen still remembered that he had dealt with Yu Fuluo's pursuers before, and in the continuous mountains, they were constantly harassed, causing them to be all soldiers and their morale collapsed.
Now, Ye Chen continued to use this method, which could cause a little trouble to Xiliang's army.
The Liaodong army began to attack, with dozens of people per unit, and in this long line, small groups of troops could sneak attack wherever they went.
For a time, the Xiliang army began to live that kind of worried and fearful life, and the army of Liaodong could appear from anywhere.
"Quick, send an army to destroy them." When Li Ru received the news, he had a headache, the marching speed was slow, because Liu Xie was injured, and now he was already very far in front of him for more than ten miles a day, if the Liaodong army attacked at this time, then he didn't have to go.
Li Ru was worried, came down to martial law, and asked the army to search for the army in Liaodong.
The effect was there, the Xiliang army pursued and killed the Liaodong army, and the Liaodong army also suffered losses, losing more than 100 people in one day.
However, the losses of the Xiliang army were greater, the loss of personnel was secondary, the entire marching team advanced like a snail, and the pressure on the Xiliang soldiers was also huge, and the morale fell again.
At night, the Xiliang army was even more painful, marching for a day, everyone wanted to sleep well at night and recover their strength, but at night it became the world of Liaodong.
During the day, the Xiliang Army can also send a large number of soldiers to encircle and suppress the soldiers of Liaodong, but at night, it is very difficult, and it may not be possible to find a soldier from Liaodong when searching all over the mountain, and even the soldiers of Liaodong may not know if they touch them.
"Lord, the current position of the Xiliang Army is not ideal, and it is not so easy to attack." In the evening, Ye Chen was gathering news with several generals, Xu Huang said.
"Don't worry, I don't know what the reason is, the Xiliang army has been marching too slowly recently, we have been leaving for a few days, we have only walked more than a hundred miles, and we have time to build this speed." Ye Chen was in a hurry, but he couldn't come at all for a while, the Xiliang Army was heavily defended, and he had to delay them for a few days.
The sneak attack can't be successful, but the harassment can be done all the time, a team of dozens of people, touch it, give it to them, and then run away immediately, in the dark night, dozens of people can easily hide.
In this way, the Xiliang army can't rest well at all, the people are tired for a day, and if they can't rest at night, then it won't take a few days to collapse.
"Alas, the Taishi doesn't agree to compromise with Ye Chen, so what can I do." Li Ru couldn't sleep at night, and he couldn't think of a way to solve the dilemma in front of him, how could he sleep well.
The Liaodong army continued to harass for a day and a night, and this night, most of the Xiliang army failed to rest well, and no one knew when the Liaodong army would be killed.
Another day passed, and the Xiliang army still didn't go far, and they were harassed continuously, and they were even more tired.
"Report." A Xiliang spy quickly arrived in front of Li Ru.
"What's the matter? Hurry up. Hearing the spies shouting the report, Li Ru became nervous, what news is there at this time, it must not be good news.
"Report to the military division, General Xu came to report, a large number of allied troops were found in the rear, and the allied forces have caught up."
"I'm really afraid of something." Li Ru sighed secretly, feeling that there would be great difficulties along the way.
"Order Li Dao to send two soldiers to support Xu Rong and be sure to block the allies."
Li Ru's order went down quickly, and at this time, Dong Zhuo didn't care about anything, and he could only make up his mind.
Li Dao began to dispatch troops and horses to support Xu Rong, and this action quickly reflected where Ye Chen went.
"It must be Cao Cao who played a role, Xu Rong was afraid that the rear would be lost, so he sent someone to ask for help." Ye Chen said happily when he received the news.
"Second brother, maybe our chance has come." Tai Shi Ci immediately realized that their opportunity had come, this Xiliang army sent some soldiers and horses to support, and there would definitely be a lot of loopholes in the middle, as long as they seized these loopholes, it would not be difficult at all to win.
"Good. Another scout carefully probes, summarizes the news in time, and prepares the soldiers, and we are ready to attack at any time. Ye Chen also realized that the opportunity had come.
A day later, the scout arrived.
"My lord, the Xiliang Army has dispatched men and horses, and now the formation is in chaos, which is our opportunity." Guan Yu was on duty that day, and when he received the news, he immediately reported it to Ye Chen.
It turned out that the process of the Xiliang army was relatively chaotic, and the road was so big that the two armies intersected, and the people had no discipline, and the formation must be very chaotic, and the team escorting the baggage was always in the middle and rear of the team because of its very slow speed.
The baggage team had been blocked so that it could not move forward and retreat, and gradually divided into several sections.
"The baggage team that attacked the Xiliang Army tonight has two tasks, destroying the baggage vehicles and robbing the treasure." After summarizing the news, Ye Chen knew that this was indeed a good opportunity, so he ordered to prepare.
