Great Wei Overlord

Chapter 19
Chapter 019

"Armor and cavalry equipment" is not only expensive armor, but also the knights of the horses that match it are even more expensive. A set of cavalry armor plus vest weighs forty kilograms. The horses and shields of the cavalry are the weight of two people.

Even though the Yan army has many horses, there are very few horses that are suitable for heavy cavalry war horses, but it is said to be one in a hundred!The funds to equip a heavy cavalry can equip a small squad of light infantry.The entire country of Yan had only [-] armored horses, but they lost more than [-] horses in this battle, nearly [-]%!Let Murong Ke feel distressed!

Murong Ke launched six attacks in succession, but all of them were defeated. He Xiaolou, Xian Yuliang, and Shentu Juji, a total of more than [-] elite cavalry troops, were wiped out. Can't make a move underneath, Yanwang's "Armor Riding Equipment" is also unfavorable in the first battle.

After successive defeats, the morale of the Yan army was low!Murong Ke was familiar with Han history, and suddenly a familiar scene in history appeared in his mind, the scene of Li Shaoling fighting alone with [-] Hun cavalry, it seemed that this was a fierce battle.Looking at it, Murong Ke was in a low mood and looked weak, joined the army and said: "General, there is a way to solve the current predicament!"

"Oh!" When Murong Ke heard this, the depression in his heart was swept away, and he bowed to Gao Kai: "Sir, please speak!"

Gao Kai was very happy to see Murong Ke bowing down to him like this. He lowered his head and pondered for a while, then said lightly: "The reason why our Great Yan army lost successively is not because the Wei army is strong in fighting, nor is it because our Yan army is weak in fighting power. The Wei army is cunning and deliberately arranged so many trenches and low walls to limit the strength of our Dayan cavalry and put our Yan army cavalry in a very disadvantageous position. As long as all the trenches outside the Wei camp are filled first, the low walls will be pulled down , Wei Jun has nothing to rely on, and he is willing to lose to our Dayan iron cavalry!"

Hearing Gao Kai's plan, Murong Ke was very disappointed. He thought he would come up with some clever plan, but who would have thought that he would come up with such a bad idea!Murong Ke said: "Our army has already used this method. Unfortunately, the Wei army will not allow our army to calmly fill up the trenches, let alone allow our army to tear down the low walls. The fortifications of the Wei army are very vicious, with layers of fortifications. If I want to break the Wei army camp, I am afraid that I have to pay the price of tens of thousands of horse casualties. If I, Dayan, lose tens of thousands of elite cavalry, how can I still deter Goguryeo and Fuyu. How to make all the tribes of the grassland submit to me, Dayan?"

"If I, Sergeant Dayan, were to fill the trenches and push down the low walls, of course we would suffer heavy losses!" Gao Kai asked back: "As the saying goes, it is abominable for a general to love the people. If the general sends Qingqi to plunder around Anxi, If the Han people around him act as human shields, that little boy Ran Min must be helpless!"

Murong Ke is silent, Ran Min is too kind-hearted, and cares too much about the life and death of the Han people!At the beginning, Shi Da led an army of 7 to plunder the people of Wei, but Ran Min used a thousand horses to meet Shi Da, but Shi Da was too incompetent, with [-] horses, he couldn't beat Ran Min's thousand horses!If my Yan army forces the Han people to fill up the trenches, general, in your opinion, will the Wei army shoot arrows at the Han people, or let them fill them up? "

Murong Ke secretly took a deep breath, such a vicious strategy, if Ran Min ordered to shoot the Han people, he would lose the hearts of the Han people. Without the support of the people, they would definitely fall into the same trap as the beggar army back then. Split.If he is allowed to fill up the trenches, I am afraid that Ran Min will not be able to resist the onslaught of tens of thousands of cavalry from the Yan army!

Murong Ke thought about it carefully, and finally decided to use Gao Kai's strategy!
Immediately, he ordered General Guangwei Mu Yugen, General Zhechong Bulugen, General Li Feng, Fujin Chenglugui, and General Guangye, Yuchiqifen, each to lead [-] light cavalry to plunder the Han people in four directions. people!

At this time, Ran Min returned to the camp, and the armor on Ran Min's body was already soaked in blood, and every time "Zhu Long" took a step, a piece of plasma from Ran Min's body would fall off!The iron spear and dragon-slaying mace in Ran Min's hands also couldn't see their original colors at this time, they turned blood red all over!
Seeing Ran Min returning from victory, countless soldiers of the Wei Army shouted excitedly, "Long live Your Majesty, Great Wei Wansheng!"

Five or six hundred soldiers from Changshan County, considered a second-rate army at best, were able to obtain two thousand beheadings and capture more than [-] "armored horses" horses from the Yan army!
It is an almost impossible miracle to defeat the mobile steel fortress with a second-rate army!However, although the Wei army had won such a big victory, Ran Min was not happy at all. In just these two days, more than half of the three thousand victorious Jie army suffered casualties, and almost all of them were killed.And the Changshan army suffered more than half of the casualties, Shi Ning and Sun Wei were injured to varying degrees!

Tuen cavalry (heavy cavalry) fought hard with Murong Ba because of heavy control. Although the Yan army did not rush into the camp, there were more than 200 casualties!After careful calculation, there were more than 3000 casualties among his subordinates!

In the past, Ran Min was not afraid of army casualties. The Han people in the north had a deep-rooted hatred with the Hu people. Although 400% of the Han people in the north were killed by the Hu people, 400% were killed, and there were only about [-] million left. Numbers beyond.You can recruit troops at will, and you can replenish troops. With a little training, you will be an elite army!
However, now that they are besieged, there is no one to come over to replenish them, and one person dies, one less.What made Ran Min even more worried was whether the defenders on the two wings could hold on. The Changshan army was useless, and the Shengjie army was half disabled. What was even more frightening was that the arrows in the Shesheng Battalion had been consumed too much and there were not many arrows left!If they can't withstand the collapse, their 1 people... the consequences will be disastrous!
After cleaning the battlefield, Ran Min came to the big tent of the Chinese Army. He didn't take off his armor, nor did he wash off the blood on his body. Liu Qun was helping Dong Run to reward the soldiers.However, all the generals gathered in the big tent of Ran Min's army were sullen, and the atmosphere was dull.

Shi Ning's headquarters with more than a thousand troops and Cao Fuqu's headquarters with more than a thousand troops are almost wiped out!Sun Wei's face full of vicissitudes was full of pain. After they counted their lieutenant soldiers, they were all shocked.From the battle yesterday to the present, among the three armies, there were nearly 500 casualties, more than half of the casualties, and most of the surviving soldiers also temporarily lost their combat effectiveness due to injuries!With such a high casualty rate, strictly speaking, their victorious army had already been disabled. If it was replaced by another army, or in a field battle, the soldiers would have collapsed and rushed for their lives.When Ran Min attacked Qian Zhao, the Long Teng Army of Qian Zhao had nearly [-]% casualties and then collapsed.

Ran Min is like a bloody statue, he sits in the first place, motionless!Shi Ning and Cao Fuqu looked at each other, their eyes full of worry!At this moment, Liu Qun came in and said, "Your Majesty, there has been movement in the Yan army's camp. At least [-] to [-] of them have left the camp and disappeared!"

Ran Min was taken aback for a moment, and then reacted, "Is the news accurate?"

Liu Qun nodded!
Ran Min stood up, came to the map in the tent, and meditated!Murong Ke will not divide the troops without reason, what is his intention of dividing the troops?

"Could it be that he wants to overtake our army and continue going south? This is the last thing he wants to see. Although most of the states and counties of the Wei State have surrendered to Jin, the Jin State has not yet sent reinforcements to the north. Leader Shang, who is still in Xuchang, can't quench his thirst from far away, and the troops in all states and counties are very weak, once the Yan army goes south, they will definitely not be able to hold it!"

Ran Min thought about it, and he said to himself: "The situation has changed, and we can no longer guard here!"

Liu Qun said: "Your Majesty, what happened?"

"Murong Ke is likely to divide his troops to go south. He wants to use the cavalry to surround us. If my prediction is not bad, the Yan army will not reorganize a new offensive in the next few days!" Ran Min said: "Order, if Tomorrow, if the Yan army does not launch a major offensive, or only resorts to harassing and feigning attacks, then our entire army will retreat immediately!"

"Retreat!" Shi Ning, Cao Fuqu, Sun Wei and other generals couldn't hide their joy when they heard this!

Ran Min pointed to the map and said: "We are going to retreat to the south. It is best to lead the Yan army to the waterfront and jungle area of ​​Liantai. The terrain here makes it impossible for the Yan army's cavalry to be used. Most of our Wei army is infantry." A pawn, just like a fish in water in a jungle area! And at that time, Yanqi can't run fast, maybe we can hit the Yan army hard!"

……

In a jungle near Weichang on the south bank of the river, a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy was lying on the ground with a piece of grass in his mouth, looking at the sky leisurely!

Around the boy, there were countless black-clothed soldiers sitting quietly.This boy is the long-lost Ran Ming!In fact, Ran Ming did not lead more than [-] fierce soldiers to Anxi, but waited for work at leisure, waiting for the arrival of Ran Min's army here!
According to history, Ran Min should have been defeated and captured in the Battle of Liantai.In Anxi, although there were few troops around Ran Min, Ran Ming was not worried at all, because he knew that in history, Ran Min first won ten battles and ten victories, and retreated all the way to Weichang!This is the advantage of the time traveler, Ran Ming knows the result, his otherworldly butterfly has not yet had time to cause the butterfly effect!Therefore, history will definitely follow its original direction and run silently!

At this time, some of the black-clothed soldiers of Ran Ming's Department were sharpening their knives silently, while others were maintaining their armors!

It's not that Ran Ming doesn't care about Ran Min, at least he knows that Ran Min is the soul of Wei State, as long as he is there, even if there is only one city left in Wei State, even if there are only a hundred soldiers, Wei State still has a chance to make a comeback, but if there is no Ran Min, no matter how capable Ran Ming is, he can only look up to the sky and sigh, Ran Min's prestige among the people is unmatched!

"Your Highness!" At this moment, Ran Feng came to Ran Ming's side and said, "According to the report from the Ranger scouts, now the commander-in-chief really does what you guessed, retreating all the way to Liantai!"

Ran Ming felt relieved, Sima Guang didn't write nonsense!Ran Ming said: "Continue to investigate! Pay close attention!"

"Yes!" Ran Feng now has more and more admiration for Ran Ming. Ran Ming is not only smart, full of whimsical ideas, but also has deep insights into strategic layout!You can know all the movements hundreds of miles away without leaving your home!In fact, ever since the Yan army launched its first attack on the Wei army's camp, the scouts from Ran Feng's department had quietly touched the periphery of Anxi. Although they didn't dare to approach, they somehow knew about Anxi's battle!Everything that happened proved Bao Ranming's inference!
Ran Feng looked at Ran Ming and couldn't help but pay attention, this is not an ordinary person! "Your Highness, should we send troops to meet Father Commander?"

"It's not necessary!" Ran Ming shook his head and said, "Not only will this not have any effect, but it will also alert the Yan army. Therefore, we must not move. Only at critical moments can we become the last straw that can overwhelm the balance of victory!"
