Chapter 707
Qin Wan and Ran Zhi left Handan under the escort of Zhang Mufeng, Ran Min had no worries, and after resting for two days, taking advantage of the nightfall, Ran Min led the army to set off.
In order to be able to grab this batch of grain and grass smoothly, Ran Min called 10,000 of the most elite cavalry in Handan City, and made precise strategic deployments, including marching routes and retreat routes, but he didn't know that all this was about to come to an end.
Murong Ping was riding on horseback, with a large number of soldiers and horses beside him, lying in the forest.
"I've been waiting for three days, when will Ran Min come!" Murong Ke had already lost some patience.
"Don't worry! The more you are at this time, the more you have to calm down! Murong Ping said.
"Is your plan going to work? What if Ran Min really went to that fake location? ”
"Hahaha! Do you think Ran Min is a fool? With his scheme, how could he not even see such an obvious scheme? ”
"There's a saying I'm going to say ahead! This time, you mobilized all the defenders of Youzhou to come and use genuine grain and grass as bait, which was a military order from the imperial brother. Don't talk about whether the grain and grass can be saved, even if you can keep the grain and grass, but you can't take down Ran Min, you and I have to lose our heads! One more thing, what if it wasn't Ran Min who came? Have we not cast a wide net and caught only a small fish? ”
Murong Ping responded: "What? Scared? I'm still worried about your little daughter-in-law who just passed the door! ”
"Fart! I ......"
"Ran Min will definitely come in person! At this time, which other generals under him can take charge of themselves? I'm afraid not, right? Murong Ping interrupted Murong Ke's words and said quite confidently.
"Okay! Lao Tzu sacrificed his life to accompany you! The credit is the two of us, the royal brother asks for the guilt, and no one can run away! Get out! Murong Ke gritted his teeth and said.
"It's all at this time, don't mother-in-law! The most taboo thing to fight a war is hesitation, looking ahead and looking backward......"
"Lord Wang! Your Highness! A brigade of cavalry appeared! "My subordinates suddenly came to report.
"How many?" Murong Ke asked.
"I can't see clearly when it's dark, and the villain guesses that there are at least about 10,000 people!"
Murong Ping commanded: "Pass the order!" Get ready to meet Ran Min! ”
A few days ago, Murong Ping transported tens of thousands of stones of grain and grass here, in order to hide people's eyes, there were not too many tents in the camp, and even the bonfires were very little, which seemed to be very cautious. Inside and outside the camp, there are non-stop patrols and soldiers, observing the movements around them, and everything seems to be normal.
For the sake of prudence, Ran Min's soldiers and horses stopped more than ten miles away, sent out a scout horse, and after confirming that everything was normal, he waited until around the ugly hour before he began to act.
At this time, the camp was unusually quiet, except for the soldiers on duty at night, it seemed that everyone had fallen asleep, and finally, there was a "rumbling" sound of horses' hooves in the night, and thousands of troops and horses shuttled through the land of Jizhou at night, and went straight to the camp of the Xianbei people.
In order to seize the grain and grass as soon as possible, Ran Min ordered the troops to divide into four routes, and attacked from four directions at the same time.
Everything seems to be going very smoothly, the camp of hoarding grain and grass is close at hand, Ran Min did not hesitate to lead the troops to rush to the camp, at this time, a large number of horse rejection piles suddenly appeared around the camp, those soldiers who did not stop the horse in time, even people rushed up with horses, the war horse was stabbed to death on the spot, and the cavalry on horseback was thrown out, and before he could get up after landing, he was stabbed to death by the Xianbei people behind the horse pile with a sword.
"Your Majesty! Hu people have been prepared for a long time! Zhu Song shouted.
"Pull out the rejection stake! Rush in! As Ran Min spoke, the spear swept away, breaking a row of spears sticking out, and then, with one hand, he picked off a horse-resisting stake with a hook and sickle.
Just when Ran Min was about to attack, shouts sounded all over the mountains behind him, Ran Min looked back, soldiers and horses came out of nowhere, holding torches everywhere, at first glance, there were no counting how many people there were on the other side, but it was obvious that they were surrounded.
"Fuck! Where did these people come from! Gou Ying scolded while killing the enemy.
Ran Min secretly said in his heart, he didn't expect that his carefully planned plan to snatch grain and grass was actually calculated by Murong Ping.
"Withdraw! Fall back! Ran Min immediately ordered.
"Your Majesty! The grain and grass are in front of you, and after the end will be cut off, you just have to grab the food! Zhu Song shouted.
Ran Min didn't want to do this, after all, the grain and grass were related to the survival of the Great Wei, and the life and death of tens of thousands of soldiers and millions of people, but Murong Ping was obviously well prepared, and looking around, the Hu people all over the mountains had already poured over, and they had been surrounded.
"Don't worry about the food and grass anymore! If we don't leave, not only will we not get food and grass, but we will all have to die here! Ran Min rejected Zhu Song's proposal and chose to break through and retreat without hesitation.
Murong Ke in the distance looked at the soldiers and horses of Ran Min who had been surrounded, and couldn't help laughing: "Hahahahaha! Ran Min, this kid also has a day of being fooled! Cousin, this time I've convinced you! ”
Murong Ping said calmly: "Don't be too happy, catch Ran Min first!" ”
Murong Ke held the spear in his hand and said, "This time, I will definitely not let him run away!" ”
"Knock knock knock~" The sound of drums continued, and it looked even more dull under the night of the moon and stars.
This camp for hoarding grain and grass was set up in a relatively open terrain, but some low-lying area, and Ran Min's soldiers had previously attacked in four directions, but at this moment they were all surrounded by it. Murong Ping formed a formation with 50,000 foot soldiers holding shields, constantly shrinking the encirclement, and Ran Min's soldiers and horses looked around, as if facing four copper walls and iron walls.
Due to the smaller and smaller space, and the sneak attack of the Xianbei people in the camp behind them, the soldiers and horses of the Wei State have fallen into a situation of internal and external attacks, and the cavalry has completely lost its advantage in speed and mobility in this case, and the victory seems to have belonged to the Xianbei people.
"In any case, rush out of a bloody path!" Zhu Song was already red-eyed, and ordered his subordinates: "Rush!" Even if everyone is broken, we must rush out of the way! ”
At this time, Zhu Song knew that the situation they were facing might be a situation of nine deaths and a lifetime that they had never had before, and even if they could escape, they would probably have to pay a considerable price. But in the hearts of the wolf rider and the others, they would rather die than surrender, as long as there is a slight chance for their majesty to escape, maybe Ran Wei will have a chance to make a comeback.
Under the personal leadership of Zhu Song, hundreds of people rushed to the shield array of the Xianbei people in desperation, and the Xianbei people saw this, and hurriedly stretched out their spears in a vain attempt to block them. I thought that these people would stop their horses, but they didn't expect that the attack of Zhu Song and others was a completely suicidal attack, and the war horse rushed over at the fastest speed, and even the people and horses were directly tied to the spear, and those Xianbei people were also affected by this huge force, and the shield array almost collapsed.
"Go on!" I don't know who shouted again.
"Brother Zhu!" Wang Chong shouted covered in blood.
At this time, Zhu Song had been pierced into a hedgehog by the Xianbei people, his whole body was full of holes, there was no movement at all, and the war horse under his crotch was dying. Seeing this, Wang Chong shouted to Ran Min: "Your Majesty! The last will escort you to retreat! ”
When Ran Min saw the tragic scene in front of him, he was remorseful and angry, but at this moment, he couldn't avenge Zhu Song at all.
After several waves of suicidal attacks, the Xianbei people's shield array was finally rushed out, and Wang Chong immediately rushed in front of Ran Min, opening the way for him, slashing left and right, and he was also injured in many places.
Ran Min held a hook and sickle in one hand and a single-edged halberd in the other, and at the same time broke through, he frantically killed the Xianbei people, fought for nearly an hour, and finally broke out of the encirclement, and at this time, there were less than 1,000 people who were able to break through smoothly and follow Ran Min's side.
Although he rushed out of the Xianbei people's infantry phalanx, he was not really out of danger, Murong Ke arranged 30,000 cavalry on the periphery, and when he saw that someone had successfully broken through, he immediately rode his horse in pursuit. Due to the fierce fighting before, many people have been wounded, and the physical strength of the war horse has also consumed a lot, and the cavalry of the Xianbei people quickly caught up, and the absolute disadvantage in numbers made those remaining warriors almost unable to parry, and they were shot off their horses one after another.
Ran Min retreated all the way in the direction of Handan, turning back all the way to shoot the pursuers of the Xianbei people, and suddenly, Wang Chong beside him somehow fell off his horse.
"Wang Chong!" Ran Min stopped and hurriedly turned around to find Wang Chong.
At this time, the sky was already dark, and Wang Chong got up from the ground with difficulty, and it turned out that he had been hit by an arrow in the back.
"Your Majesty, go! Leave me alone! Wang Chong said, turned around, holding a long knife, still ready to fight.
"Hurry up, Your Majesty!" Wang Chong shouted almost in despair: "Don't hesitate! ”
Seeing that Wang Chong was covered in blood, his legs were constantly trembling, and the wind could almost blow him down, Ran Min couldn't help but shed tears.
"My Wang Chong has enough in this life!" After speaking, Wang Chong gritted his teeth and rushed back on foot towards the pursuers of the Xianbei people.
