Chapter 681: Zhu Long Falls
The reason why Ran Min wanted to break through to the southwest was to enter Changshan as much as possible, and join up with the tens of thousands of horses of his general Su Hai, so as to gain a firm foothold and continue the bloody battle with the Yan army.
However, not long after Ran Min broke through the encirclement of the Yan cavalry, he suddenly found that on the retreating road, there were already many Yan troops blocking the way.
At this time, for Ran Min, there is a strong enemy in front and a chasing soldier in the back, and the situation is quite unfavorable, but Ran Min has no choice, at this moment, there is no second way to go except to rush forward and kill.
"If you want to block my way, it's really overwhelming, soldiers, kill ......" Ran Min roared, holding up his blood-soaked weapon with both hands, and killed the Yan cavalry in front of him.
"Kill, fight with Yan Jun." More than 100 beggar guards also roared, followed behind Ran Min, and killed directly ahead.
Although the cavalry of the Yan army were afraid of Ran Min's strong force, at this moment, Ran Min had been fighting for several hours in a row, and the consumption of the body was extremely strict, and there were only more than 100 soldiers under his command.
Seeing that the Yan cavalry was getting closer and closer, Ran Min adjusted his breathing, aimed at several Yan cavalry in front of him, waved the weapons in his hands, and shouted: "Die!" Xianbei children. ”
Ran Min hit with a blow, and the two Yan cavalry fell in response, but soon, behind the two Yan cavalry, six Yan cavalry killed at the same time, and the tips of six bright spears stabbed at Ran Min's throat.
"Don't measure yourself, die." Ran Min roared, and the double-edged spear in his left hand swung powerfully. Cut off all six spears of the Yan cavalry.
The six Yan cavalry were shocked when they saw this, and before they could react, the hook halberd in Ran Min's right hand had already swung towards their throats, and they cut off six heads with a brush.
Suddenly, six pillars of blood gushed out, spurting the red blood around, and the follow-up Yan army cavalry, seeing six bloody human heads falling to the ground at the same time, couldn't hide the huge fear in their hearts, and unconsciously had the idea of retreating.
Ran Min seized the moment. Shout. led the men and horses under his command to break through the first line of defense set up by the Yan army, and at this time, there were less than 100 men and horses under the command of Ran Min. And Murong Ba behind him was leading the Yan army cavalry to chase after him. The situation is dire.
Ran Min was trying to lead the last remaining men and horses to retreat quickly. But he was shocked to find that five hundred paces ahead, there was a Yan cavalry blocking the way.
The cavalry of the Yan Army behind him chased closer and closer. Ran Min's heart was under tremendous pressure, at this moment, he didn't know how many lines of defense the Yan army had set up, and he didn't know if he could get rid of the entanglement of the Yan army and arrive at Changshan County safely, however, at this critical juncture, there was no better way than to fight forward bravely, if you want to completely escape from the encirclement of the Yan army, you must attack all the way forward and kill a bloody road.
With the attitude of a god of war, Ran Min led fewer and fewer soldiers and horses under his command, bravely killed the Yan army's defense lines one after another, and broke through the Yan army's multiple defense lines one after another, which surprised Murong Ke, who was watching the battle from a distance.
"General, Ran Min has broken through the ninth line of defense, if the last line of defense can't stop him, he will really break through the encirclement." Seeing Ran Min rushing all the way to kill, as if entering a no-man's land, a general of the Yan Army said worriedly.
Murong Ke is still calm as water on the surface, but there are huge waves in his heart, at this moment, Ran Min has broken through the nine lines of defense, if the last line of defense is also broken, Ran Min will really escape from the encirclement, and once Ran Min escapes from the encirclement, the task of annihilating Ran Min within ten days can no longer be completed, besides, Ran Min is the king of Wei State, his survival is concerned about the survival of Wei State, if Ran Min is captured, then Wei State is scattered, and it can be quickly broken, and if Ran Min escapes back to Yecheng, It can still gather the forces of Wei to compete with the Yan army, so as to create huge trouble for the Great Yan State to sweep away Hebei.
"It's up to people to make things happen, I can't imagine that the five thousand iron rope cavalry carefully trained by Ben General can't trap Ran Min, it's Ben General who is too light on the enemy." Murong Ke said helplessly.
"General, is it impossible to let Ran Min escape like this, our army must do its best to pursue and kill." The general of the Yan army said.
Murong Ke nodded, and said with a straight face: "That's natural, the general has already let the fifth brother go to pursue, but the Zhulong horse under Ran Min's seat is a rare thousand miles of horses, if he really escapes from the encirclement, no matter how many cavalry there are in our army, he may not be able to catch up!" After speaking, he shook his head helplessly.
The general thought for a while, and said loudly: "General, Yecheng is in the south direction, why did Ran Min break through to the southwest, he did this, I am afraid that he wants to join Su Hai, so as to use Su Hai's soldiers and horses to make our army the enemy, the main force of our army can pursue all the way, and Cao Fu and Zhang Jin's soldiers and horses can fight back and forth, destroy the tens of thousands of troops under Su Hai, and kill Ran Min together." ”
Hearing this, Murong Ke nodded, and ordered: "The Chinese army immediately set off and pursued Ran Min. Then he rode his horse and galloped southwest.
Under Murong Ke's order, the main force of the Yan army all rushed to the southwest to pursue Ran Min, and prepared to kill Changshan once Ran Min escaped from the encirclement, and eliminated Ran Min and his general Su Hai together.
As Murong Ke predicted, Ran Min really broke through the tenth line of defense, and completely highlighted the encirclement of the Yan army, and ran to the southwest.
Seeing that the encirclement was finally highlighted, Ran Min's heart relaxed a lot, but at this moment, the Yan cavalry was still pursuing in the rear, so Ran Min and more than ten generals under his command did not dare to be careless, and continued to run to the southwest, in order to meet the tens of thousands of horses under Su Hai's command.
Murong Ba, who was ordered to pursue Ran Min, was greatly annoyed when he saw that Ran Min had broken out of the encirclement and continued to retreat to the southwest, and immediately ordered his army to speed up the pursuit, and made up his mind that he must catch up with Ran Min and capture Ran Min to death.
The Zhulongma under Ran Min's seat is indeed an excellent thousand-mile horse, but the battle is too fierce, and, when crossing the chain of the iron chain of the iron cavalry, the Zhulongma's front leg was injured and left a lot of blood.
At this moment, Ran Min naturally felt the weakness of Zhu Longma, and gently stroked Zhu Longma's neck with his hand to comfort this war horse that had followed him from birth to death for many years.
But Zhu Longma was obviously dying, and he ran slower and slower, a lot of sweat flowed from his neck, and his wheezing became violent.
"Zhu Long, Zhu Long, what's wrong with you." Ran Min was extremely nervous, and softly comforted the war horse under his seat.
"Plop." Zhu Longma finally couldn't hold on and fell to the ground with a bang, and Ran Min naturally fell off the warhorse.
"Hiss......" Seeing Zhu Longma suddenly fall to the ground, more than a dozen generals beside Ran Min hurriedly stopped and looked at Ran Min anxiously.
Ran Min got up, knelt beside Zhu Longma on one knee, and stroked Zhu Longma's cheek, his eyes full of helpless apologies.
Zhu Longma's body was completely unable to move, but his eyes could still move, and seeing his master kneeling on one knee in front of him, Zhu Longma sneezed a few times, and a line of tears flowed from the corners of his eyes.
"Zhu Long, rest in peace!" Ran Min reached out and closed Zhu Longma's eyes, and picked up the weapon on the ground.
"Your Majesty, the Yan army is coming, hurry up and get on the war horse of the last general." A Wei general jumped off his horse and gave up his horse to Ran Min.
Ran Min shook his head and said loudly, "You guys go quickly!" What Murong Ke wants is my head. ”
"Your Majesty, the Great Wei Kingdom can't live without you, get on the horse quickly! We will cover the emperor's breakthrough. The general said loudly.
"Your Majesty, let's go! Please. The ministers will plead together.
Ran Min still shook his head, and said loudly: "Zhu Long's death is the will of heaven, today is my death, since the will of heaven is like this, why should I escape, it is better to face fate." After saying that, there was a righteous face.
"Your Majesty, as ministers, we have made up our minds, and we are willing to stay and fight side by side with the emperor until we die in battle." A Wei general loudly expressed his loyalty.
"Yes, we will stay together and fight side by side with the emperor until we die in battle." The generals of the Wei army said in unison.
When Ran Min heard this, he smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth, and said loudly: "Okay, generals, let us fight side by side for the last time, today, Liantai is the place where we are buried." ”
When the generals of the Wei army heard this, they all jumped off their horses, raised the weapons in their hands, and distributed them on both sides of Ran Min, preparing to meet the main army of the Yan army head-on.
Murong Ba, who was chasing Ran Min, was greatly surprised when he saw Ran Min and his generals forming an attack formation in front of him, and immediately ordered the cavalry under his command to outflank the two wings, completely trapping Ran Min and others in the core.
Soon, tens of thousands of cavalry of the Yan army completely besieged Ran Min and others again, and waited for Murong Ba's attack order.
Murong Ba stopped riding his horse, looked at Ran Min, and shouted: "Ran Min, you have no way to escape, just grab it!" ”
"Hahaha! If your subordinates are defeated, you are also qualified to let me be captured, and if you have the ability, you will go together, and I am not afraid to wait for children. Ran Min yelled loudly.
Murong Ba was furious when he heard this, and immediately ordered: "The soldiers of the first battalion, dismount and fight, go up." ”
Under Murong Ba's order, all a thousand Yan cavalry jumped off their horses and pressed forward step by step, killing Ran Min's location.
At this moment, there were only more than ten generals beside Ran Min, so Murong Ba was not worried that Ran Min would escape again, so he moved his mind to capture Ran Min alive.
The thousand soldiers of the Yan army were all afraid of Ran Min's force, so they all cautiously approached Ran Min, and their eyes widened, watching Ran Min's every move. (To be continued......)
