Early in the morning of the third day, the cavalry of the Yan army still went to Anxi City to challenge, and Ran Min still led the army under his command out of the city to meet the enemy, and defeated the cavalry of the Yan army without accident, and once again achieved three brilliant results in three battles and three victories.

In this day's battle, Ran Min felt the low morale of the Yan army even more, and was excited about it, in Ran Min's heart, the Yan army was already a demoralized army, and it was impossible to defeat himself.

After sunset, in Ran Min's imperial camp, Ran Min began to think about Murong Ke's tactics, and he suddenly felt that it was impossible for Murong Ke not to see the fact that the morale of the Yan army was getting lower and lower, and what low morale meant for an army, it was impossible for Murong Ke not to understand, in this case, Murong Ke still let the army under his command use the same tactics to be humiliated, it seemed to be deliberate, there must be an ulterior conspiracy in this.

Ran Min suddenly felt that Murong Ke should have the confidence to win, otherwise, with his wisdom, it would never be possible to do this.

After thinking about it, Ran Min had an ominous premonition, he always felt that Murong Ke was playing a trick on him, perhaps, in the next few days, when he led the army to pursue the Yan army, he would fall into the trap of the Yan army.

Although Ran Min is confident enough to defeat any enemy, the Yan army is extremely strong after all, if the Yan army has 100,000 soldiers and horses and sets up an ambush somewhere, or if the Yan army still has reinforcements, the shape of the battlefield is really difficult to grasp.

"Your Majesty, the Yan army has been defeated and fought repeatedly, the situation is very abnormal, there may be a trap here." Said one of the generals.

Ran Min nodded and said softly, "General Dong." You also see it this way, so what conspiracy do you think Yan Jun will have? ”

"Back to the emperor, the last general can't guess what kind of medicine is sold in Murong Ke's gourd for a while, but the last general has a hunch that Murong Ke must have a big conspiracy." The general said.

"It's a big conspiracy, and I think so, but I can't guess what this conspiracy is." Ran Min said lightly.

"Your Majesty, at the moment, our army is underwhelmed. Nine battles and nine victories for three consecutive days. Although the morale of the soldiers was still high, it was actually a tired army, with more than 300 soldiers killed and 2,000 wounded. If it goes on like this. The situation will be more and more unfavorable for our army. It's better to return to Yecheng and make plans again! ”

When Ran Min heard this, he felt a little unwilling. He said loudly: "I was about to use these horses to destroy the Yan Kingdom and kill Murong Jun, and now, for the sake of Murong Ke's 100,000 soldiers and horses, I will retreat to Yecheng, what will the people of the world think of me, what will the people of my Great Wei Kingdom think, for the sake of the hegemony of my Great Wei, I must not have the slightest concession." After speaking, he had a proud face.

"Your Majesty, now is not the time to be brave for a while, if Murong Ke has been harassing like this, our army will be unbearable sooner or later, now, there are already soldiers who have fallen ill due to fatigue, it has only been three days, if it is another three days, I am afraid that more soldiers will fall ill because of fatigue! Please also ask the emperor to think twice. A general said.

Ran Min hesitated for a while, feeling that what the general said was also very reasonable, and he had a plan to withdraw from the army for a moment in his heart, but soon, Ran Min denied his plan, first, he was unwilling to show weakness to Murong Ke, thus affecting his prestige. Second, once he retreated, if Murong Ke chased after him from behind, the situation would be worse, and what was even more terrifying was that Ran Min was afraid that retreating would cause a decline in the morale of the army, which would affect the combat strength of the army under his command.

Seeing Ran Min hesitate, another general continued: "Your Majesty, the terrain outside Anxi City at the moment, although it is not very open, is also very conducive to the escape of the cavalry, in the past three days, although our army has won nine battles and nine victories, the cavalry of the Yan army killed is not much, the strength of the Yan army has not suffered heavy losses because of the defeat and rout, and the nine major victories of our army have not caused fundamental damage to Murong Ke." ”

When Ran Min heard this, his heart was suddenly shocked, the general was right, his nine great victories only defeated the Yan cavalry, but the damage given to the Yan cavalry was very limited, the reason for this situation was mainly because the Yan cavalry fled quickly, and he and a small number of cavalry could not give the Yan army a large number of casualties, so that each victory could only give the Yan cavalry a slight trauma.

Ran Min suddenly understood that this might be the reason why Murong Ke had no fear, because Murong Ke knew that his troops were scarce and extremely lacking in cavalry, and the Yan army was all cavalry, so even if he won a hundred victories, it would be impossible to inflict heavy losses on the Yan army.

Thinking of this, Ran Min felt that he couldn't go on so meaninglessly, otherwise, not only could he not give the Yan army a lot of killing, but he would also make the soldiers under his command tired, and if he retreated to Yecheng and showed weakness to Murong Ke, Ran Min was very unwilling, for this reason, Ran Min decided to lure the enemy deep and lure Murong Ke's main cavalry to a relatively dense place in the jungle, so that once the Yan cavalry was dispersed, it would not be able to quickly rout and flee, the main infantry under his command, You can easily catch up with the Yan cavalry between the bushes, so that you can give the Yan cavalry a lot of damage.

Ran Min looked at the map in front of him, thought for a long time, and decided to choose the location of the heavy damage to the Yan cavalry close to Changshan County, because Changshan County has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under his command of Su Hai, if he can meet with Su Hai's soldiers and horses, choose a proper place to fight with the Yan cavalry, Ran Min believes that he will be able to severely damage the Yan cavalry corps.

Ran Min told his subordinates about his ideas, and after listening to them, the generals all nodded in approval and expressed their full support.

After thinking about this plan, Ran Min sent his henchmen to Changshan County to convey orders to Su Hai, and on the other hand, he immediately mobilized Anxi City's soldiers and horses to pack up and prepare to set off at any time.

Before setting off, Ran Min considered that the Yan cavalry would definitely pursue from behind, so he decided to let the infantry go first, and the cavalry pressed the formation in the rear, and once the Yan cavalry was found to be chasing, he immediately attacked it fiercely, so as to ensure that the infantry corps could safely retreat to the designated area.

Of course, Ran Min knew that Murong Ke would definitely chase after him, so according to the calculation of time, he set up an ambush twenty miles south of Anxi City, and as soon as the Yan cavalry appeared, he would immediately give a fierce attack, so as to warn Murong Ke and make him dare not pursue quickly, so that he could ensure that his infantry corps and Su Hai's soldiers and horses could enter the designated area.

Before leaving, Ran Min arranged for his seriously injured soldiers to be in the nearby mountains so that they could escape the search of the Yan army.

After the preparations were completed, Ran Min ordered the army to retreat overnight and rushed to the southwest.

How could Ran Min evade Murong Ke's ears and eyes with such a large-scale overnight retreat, and many Yan army scouts had already been arranged around Anxi City.

These scouts found that Ran Min was leading the army to retreat to the southwest, and immediately returned to the Yan army camp to report to Murong Ke.

At this time, in the Yan army camp, Murong Ke, the main general of the Yan army, did not rest, and he was discussing with Murong Ba how to use the iron rope cavalry to strangle Ran Min.

In the previous few days of battle, the iron rope cavalry did not fight, they have been responsible for guarding the camp, and the chains used to connect the war horses are all gathered in the camp, at this moment, Murong Ke feels that it is necessary to distribute these iron ropes to the iron rope cavalry, and connect the war horses, ready to strangle Ran Min, Murong Ba also said that it is time to fight with Ran Min.

Murong Ke's final tactic was very simple, that is, to challenge Ran Min with tens of thousands of cavalry, and then continue to deceive, lure Ran Min to lead the army to chase and kill, and ambush all the main forces at a distance of seven or eight miles from Anxi City, and press the five thousand elite iron chain cavalry, and use the powerful power of the iron chain cavalry to completely trap Ran Min and a small number of cavalry under his command, and finally achieve the goal of eliminating Ran Min's army.

"Report, general, the Wei army fled overnight." Just when Murong Ke and Murong Ba were discussing how to annihilate Ran Min, the news of Ran Min's retreat came.

Murong Ke and Murong Ba were shocked when they heard this, if Ran Min really escaped, their painstaking strategy would be completely in vain, and it would be impossible to complete the pride of annihilating Ran Min's army within ten days, which made their hearts bitter.

"Fourth brother, it seems that we still underestimated Ran Min, he may have seen through our army's plan, so he fled overnight." Murong Ba said softly.

Murong Ke shook his head and said with a straight face: "Impossible, our army's strategy, Ran Min can't see through it, perhaps, Ran Min has his own plans." After speaking, he looked at the scout and asked, "Ran Min really retreated, you can see clearly, in what direction they retreated." ”

"General Hui, the little one can see clearly, the thousands of infantry of the Wei army left first, and in less than a moment, thousands of cavalry also left, and ran towards the path in the southwest direction at full speed." The scout replied truthfully.

When Murong Ke heard this, he hurriedly looked at the map in front of him, and after a moment, nodded thoughtfully.

"Fourth brother, what does Ran Min mean by retiring from the army?" Murong Ba saw Murong Ke nodding and hurriedly asked.

Murong Ke smiled, pointed to the map in front of him, and said: "Fifth brother, you see, the road to the southwest leads to Changshan County, and Ran Min's purpose is obviously to go to Changshan County, and join the soldiers and horses of his general Su Hai, so as to increase the momentum and continue to be the enemy of our army, not to escape, if so, we really have to use the two wastes of Cao Fu and Zhang Jin." ”

"The meaning of the fourth brother is to let Cao Fu and Zhang Jin lead their soldiers and horses into Changshan County and confront the army under Su Hai, so that Su Hai can not join the main force of Ran Min's department as promised, and then, it will be conducive to our army to encircle and annihilate the elite army of Ran Min's department in one fell swoop." Murong Ba hurriedly said. (To be continued......)
