Great Wei Overlord

Chapter 22
Chapter 022

The other Yan army cavalry were dumbfounded, and the other cavalry stood dumbfounded.I really didn't expect that just a charge would cause such a big loss to our side. The cavalry and archery they have always been proud of had no advantage at all in front of the Wei army on the opposite side.One of the three generals was killed and the other was captured. The other commanders and commanders were terrified.

With so many dead and wounded, all the young commanders and superintendents secretly calculated an account in their hearts. This time, the soldiers and horses they brought with them were the best of each tribe. My tribe had not been in Yan for five years. Don't even think about recovering your combat power, and who knows if the emperor will dispatch Dingkou warriors to make up for your losses. If you don't make up for it, don't think about making great achievements in your tribe within ten years.

Nothing to do, this is not the most terrible thing, the terrible thing is that other powerful tribes took the opportunity to annex themselves, this must be very common on the grassland, the fist speaks the truth, whoever has the biggest fist is the boss!Without warriors, there is no strength, and they may be annexed by other tribes at any time. The wealth they have robbed hard can only be used as wedding dresses for others.

A warrior needs at least 16 years of training, and a war horse also needs two to three years. This time, not only the warriors were greatly damaged, but also the dead and wounded war horses. Their training is not so easy. So many horses died, yes The whole fall.Even the country of Yan was a serious blow.The tribe has been abolished, there are no brave warriors in the tribe, and the remaining old, weak, sick and disabled will definitely become someone else's food, food in their stomachs!
At this time, Yan Jun saw the more than 1000 brave Wei soldiers in front of him, especially the young general at the head. Judging from his age, he was only thirteen or fourteen years old.He beheaded Mu Yugen with every move.

Mu Yugen is not an ordinary person. He also made great achievements in the country of Yan. In [-] A.D., Zhao Jun attacked Yan after a hundred thousand stone tigers. Shaken to give up Thorn City.Mu Yugen advised Murong Hao: "Don't be fooled by the mighty words of the stone tiger soldiers, but stick to the city of Thorns and defeat the enemy's edge to wait for the situation to change." Afterwards, Zhao soldiers surrounded the city with ants on all sides, and Mu Yugen and others fought day and night to finally repel Zhao. military.Moreover, he also defeated Yuwenbu, the strong opponent of Murongbu, captured King Fuyu alive, defeated Zhenyuan General Shi Cheng, Jinu General Huyanhuang, Jianwei General Zhang Zhi and beheaded them!However, he did not expect that Mu Yugen, who is known as both wise and brave.This made the generals of the Yan army unacceptable.

General Yan Huya is also a dead soul, such a formidable enemy.There are more than [-] troops from the three divisions, and they still can't win, and they are all left, so what a fart!Puluru looked at the monster and called out, "Retreat!"

The other Xianbei cavalry fled in embarrassment.

Ran Ming's infantry couldn't catch up even if he wanted to. Seeing that the Yan army's rout disappeared from sight, Ran Ming ordered Jing Zhan to send out cavalry scouts twenty miles away to monitor the Yan army. After that, Ran Ming led the troops back to clean up the battlefield!
The battlefield at this time is like a Shura field, with corpses everywhere, many of them can't even be seen in human form, almost turned into a pile of rotten flesh!

Of course, such a result was not directly caused by Ran Ming's troops, but because the cavalry of the Yan Army rushed for their lives and killed each other!In this wave of blows, at least half of the 3000 Yan army casualties were caused by the Yan army colliding with each other!

Seeing that the Yan army had been defeated, Ran Ming became worried. He knew that the Wei army was short of food. The Yan army had abandoned at least five or six thousand horses in this battle, of which more than 1000 horses were still usable, and the rest were either dead or injured.In other words, there are at least three or four thousand wounded horses and horse carcasses on the battlefield, and these horse meat can be used as military rations!
In an era of food scarcity, not to mention horse meat, even human flesh was eaten. When Boss Cao attacked Qingzhou, he adopted the method of cannibal jerky because he had no military rations, barely supporting himself.Ran Ming had no reason to give up the horse meat on the battlefield, but there were only a thousand people around him, and nearly a hundred people were killed or injured in the battle just now.Now there are fewer people!

In Liantai City, in the large tent of the Chinese army in the temporary camp of the Wei army, a middle-aged man sat on the chief seat, with thick eyebrows, big eyes, straight nose, square mouth, Chinese character face, and a few long beards. His appearance was very mighty, black and white. His clear eyes were carefully looking at the map, and from time to time there was a look of depression and helplessness in the eyes.This person is Ran Min who came to Liantai City!
There are a few generals around Ran Min, among them only Chariot General Zhang Wen, General Dong Run, Captain Zhang Ai of Shesheng, and Generals Zhechong Shi Ning, Cao Fuqu, and Sun Wei.At this moment, Ran Min knelt down with a [-]-year-old general, it was Su Jue who Ran Ming sent to Liantai earlier!Ran Min looked at Su Jue with a smile and said, "Su Jue, you said that the five thousand soldiers outside here were only trained by you according to the method Minger wrote?"

There was still a hint of a smile on Ran Min's face, but it made people feel the awe-inspiring demeanor of commanding the army for many years.

Su Jue said: "Your Highness has something to say, open a large formation to face the great enemy. Thousands of people line up in the majestic formation. The brave must not be the first, and the timid must not be behind. The spears come and the spears go. One person is invincible in the world. His Highness repeatedly emphasized discipline and formation. In the end, based on the more than a hundred veterans trained by His Second Highness in the room, the five thousand young men were divided into hundreds of teams, with 50 people in each team, and one veteran led the training. The daily march is mainly to practice formation!"

Ran Min fell into deep thought again. Although these five thousand young men have only undergone half a month of training, in terms of momentum, they are not weaker than any strong army in the world. , Get used to the blood, and the Wei army can have an extra strong army!Ran Min really couldn't imagine when his son had such experience in training soldiers. It can be seen from the lines in the training regulations that Ran Ming has won the essence of the art of war at this time!
Ran Min couldn't figure it out. His second son was only 13 years old. Although he had been in the army for more than two years, he had only been promoted to Dubo's position so far. Although he usually performed well, he definitely didn't do so well!What's more, he was even more confused about why Ran Ming knew that he would fight for a long time without success, and finally had to retreat to the south, and he had stored four thousand shi of grain in Liantai in advance. The entire ground of Liantai City was hollowed out, and the tunnel was dug for more than ten miles, fully hiding all his troops!

At this moment, a sweaty Wei soldier suddenly ran outside the tent, and he said excitedly: "Great victory, great victory, His Royal Highness King Pengcheng, defeated more than ten thousand Yan army chasing troops, and beheaded more than four thousand ranks!"

"What?" Ran Min suddenly jumped up from his seat, grabbed the soldier's collar and shouted: "What did you say, say it again!"

"Your Majesty, great victory! Great victory!" The soldiers said nervously: "General Mu Yugen of Yan Army Guangwei led five thousand Yan Army cavalry to fight His Royal Highness King Pengcheng. After half a quarter of an hour, Mu Yugen was defeated and lost [-] Seven hundred cavalry, and then Mu Yugen was supported by General Huya and General Li Feng of the Yan Army with six or seven thousand cavalry. Then they joined forces and attacked the rear army led by His Royal Highness King Pengcheng. After half an hour, The Yan army was defeated, Yan Guangwei's General Mu Yugen was captured, and Yan Lifeng's General Qi Fujin Chenglu was captured alive!"

When Ran Min heard the news, he was stunned for a moment. He had been in the army for a long time, so he naturally knew that it was difficult to defeat cavalry with infantry, and it was even more difficult to behead so many cavalry.In the field cavalry fighting infantry is basically invincible.Not to mention that the impact and reaction of the cavalry far exceed that of the infantry when the two armies encounter a sudden encounter, even in a face-to-face confrontation, the cavalry can always rely on their speed to attack from the side or rear of the infantry, so that the infantry cannot take care of both ends.Taking ten thousand steps back, even if the commanding general of the infantry knows the art of war, these infantry are also brave and good at fighting, and have the upper hand in battle.But the cavalry could immediately retreat when they saw the situation was not going well, the infantry could not catch up even if they wanted to, and the defeat of the infantry basically meant that the whole army was wiped out. How could two legs run faster than four!
Therefore, when the Wei army fought against the Yan army, they won all ten battles since Anxi. However, in addition to relying on barracks, low walls, and trenches in Anxi, which limited the charge speed of the Yan army's cavalry and achieved many gains, the other four battles, although they were victorious. , but the results achieved are very small!Ran Min was moved, he knew that although Ran Feng and Ran Ming were together, Ran Feng could only be regarded as a rusher, he could fight wherever you want, but this kind of tactics, let alone Ran Feng, was difficult even for himself do it!Ran Min naturally thought that Ran Ming might have won by tricks!Ran Ming asked again: "At this time, how about the details?"

The soldier said timidly, "I don't know about this humble job!"

"The last general knows a little bit!" Ran Min looked over and saw Su Jue clasped his fists and said, "When the Second Highness was in Fangfang County, the last general selected more than [-] young and strong from among the refugees. The last general originally thought that The Second Highness asked the last general to train the new army, but the result was very surprising. The Second Highness actually asked the blacksmith to make a strange shovel for each soldier, and told the last general that the future of the Wei army is not good. His Majesty's Northern Expedition If you are in danger, if you want to save the Wei army, you only need to use his method! Therefore, the Second Highness asked the last general to lead more than half of the soldiers to dig a small hole on the ground that is as thick as a bowl and about two feet deep. Your Highness said that this kind of small hole is called a trap. Makeng, when a war horse charges at high speed, what inertia can it rely on to break the horse's leg, and the cavalry will be defeated without fighting!"

Ran Min also discovered the small hole in the ground back then, but he didn't realize it at the time, it turned out to be a defensive weapon that could stop the cavalry!Ran Min's heart was filled with fear, "After three days' farewell, treat each other with admiration, my son is so useful!"

Liu Qun was also very happy and said: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, Congratulations to Your Majesty, there are successors!"

Zhang Wenwen, Dong Run, Shi Ning, Cao Fuqu and other generals also congratulated Ran Min!Ran Min was calm on the surface, but in fact, he was already happy in his heart!

Ran Min nodded thoughtfully, and said in his heart: "It seems that we should have a good talk with this kid!"
