Chapter 612: Breaking Each
More than 100,000 Yan and Zhao coalition troops, the soldiers were divided into six ways to attack the six gates of Yecheng, and there was a momentum to break through the city in one fell swoop, the defenders of Yecheng were only 30,000, and Ran Min mobilized tens of thousands of young and middle-aged people in the city to assist the beggar army to defend the city, and personally ascended to the head of the city to command the battle of defending the city.
Outside the city, the Yan-Zhao coalition army is attacking the city with all its might, the beggar army and the people defending the city are under great pressure, Ran Min stood on the city wall, looked at the dense Yan-Zhao coalition army outside the city, and had a trace of sadness and helplessness in his heart, and fought for more than a year, not only failed to eliminate Shi Yuan, but let the Yan-Zhao coalition army come to Yecheng City, and most importantly, the arable land around Yecheng is getting less and less, and the food is becoming more and more insufficient, so if this situation continues, the prospect of the Great Wei State unifying China will become more and more slim.
"Your Majesty, the Yan-Zhao coalition army is strong, and now, Yecheng has been besieged by regiments, and there is not enough food and grass in the city, if the siege cannot be broken within a month, our army will run out of food." The general saw that the Yan and Zhao coalition forces outside the city were densely packed, and said anxiously.
Ran Min frowned and thought for a while, and said softly: "Pass the order, let the soldiers defend the city with all their might, and after two days, I have my own strategy to break the enemy." ”
Under Ran Min's order, the defenders and people of Yecheng defended the city with all their might, and although they faced great pressure, they firmly held the city.
The Yan-Zhao coalition army surged towards Yecheng with the momentum of victory, but after two consecutive days of siege, it failed to break through the city, so the morale declined, and the soldiers were a little slack.
At this time, Ran Min gathered 3,000 beggar guards under his command, divided the troops into three routes, and ambushed them at Jinmingmen, Yingchun Gate and Langmen, and was ready to fight at any time.
It's noon. The six-way Yan and Zhao coalition forces launched a siege battle at the same time, and Ran Min and the three thousand beggar guards under his command were also ready to fight.
"Your Majesty, the Yan-Zhao coalition army has begun to attack the city, and our army is ready for battle and can attack at any time." In the direction of Jinmingmen, directly west of Yecheng, the camp owner of the begging guards said loudly.
Ran Min nodded and ordered loudly: "Open the city gate, and the soldiers will attack with me." ”
"Ka ......" under Ran Min's order. The Jinming Gate of Yecheng was slowly opened.
Ran Min gently swung the double-edged spear. led the elite 1,000 beggar guards and galloped out of the city gates.
Yao Xiang, the general of Zhao who was directing the siege, was taken aback, he didn't expect Ran Min to suddenly kill. For this. And not prepared. All kinds of large-scale siege equipment were arranged in front of the military formation, thus becoming the first target of Ran Min's army.
"Kill ......" Ran Min ran out of Jinmingmen. With a loud shout, he killed Yao Xiang's position in the middle army, and the 1,000 beggar guards behind him were divided into three routes, one followed closely behind Ran Min's back, and the other two roads were killed to the left and right respectively, wantonly destroying the siege equipment of Yao Xiang's army, and killing the siege soldiers.
Yao Xiang had seen Ran Min's tactics, and he knew that Ran Min's most powerful tactic was to use his own bravery to directly rush into the enemy's formation and kill the opponent's supreme commander, so that the opponent's army would lose its command and fall into chaos.
At this moment, seeing that Ran Min personally led hundreds of elite cavalry to kill him, Yao Xiang had a premonition that the situation was not good, and hurriedly ordered: "The pro-guard army will attack and block the enemy." ”
"Kill ......" Under Yao Xiang's order, three thousand guards rode their horses to kill Ran Min.
Seeing that the elite cavalry of the opponent's black pressure was killed, Ran Min was quite disdainful, and clenched the double-edged spear in his hand, ready to attack.
The speed of the cavalry was extremely fast, and Ran Min and Yao Xiang's personal guards soon collided together.
"Kill ......" Ran Min roared, brandished the double-edged spear in his hand, and killed several elite cavalrymen of the Yao Xiang Legion in a row, and rushed forward on his horse.
The three thousand personal guards of the Yao Xiang Legion, although there were many men and horses, and their combat power was strong, they could not stop Ran Min's attack at all, and under Ran Min's attack, they avoided on both sides.
Although the warrior is not afraid of death, but afraid of death in vain, Ran Min's double-edged spear is like a sickle that harvests life, and it can take the head of the person with a snap of his fingers, which makes the warriors under Yao Xiang's command very frightened, and unconsciously dodged to the side, this is the survival instinct of people, and it has nothing to do with courage and courage.
The warriors who tried their best to kill Ran Min would fall to the ground in an instant, and the world would not remember him, and even, his credit would be his general's, he burned his life, but he couldn't get anything, and his death in vain made the warriors afraid, so that Ran Min opened a bloody road.
Seeing that the three thousand guards under his command could not resist Ran Min's attack, Yao Xiang was very nervous, he didn't want to die at the feet of Yecheng like this.
"General, Ran Min has already been killed, what should I do?" Yao Xiang's subordinates were also very nervous.
Yao Xiang sighed and ordered softly: "Retreat, the whole army retreats." ”
He knew that in order to save his life, he had to evacuate the position of the Chinese army, and once he left the position of command, the tens of thousands of troops under his command would inevitably collapse immediately, and in this way, he would inevitably suffer great losses.
"Bell bell bell ......" In the rear of Yao Xiang's army array, there was the sound of a gong for an emergency retreat.
As soon as the order to retreat was given, the tens of thousands of troops of Yao Xiang's army immediately gave up the siege and retreated like a tide.
"Kill, hunt down the enemy." Seeing that Yao Xiang's army had fully retreated and the formation was scattered, Ran Min naturally would not let it go lightly, and gave the order to pursue.
The routed Yao Xiang Legion has no formation at all, such a flustered team, the low combat effectiveness can be imagined, Ran Min led the army to chase and kill for a while, killing thousands of soldiers of the Yao Xiang Legion, and then, he will continue to chase and kill the task to the thousand beggar guards under his command, and let them only chase ten miles, in case of accidents, and Ran Min himself immediately rode back to Yecheng.
At the Jinming Gate of Yecheng, the soldiers guarding the city saw Ran Min riding their horses back, and immediately opened the city gate.
Ran Min rode into the city, and did not stop, but ran directly to the Yingchun Gate to the east, where another thousand beggar guards, ready for battle, were waiting for him at the city gate.
The Murong Ba army outside the Yingchun Gate was quite sharp in attacking the city, and many times it almost attacked the city wall, and it was driven off the city wall under the hard work of the beggar army and the people who defended the city.
"Open the gates, open the gates." Ran Min ran to the Yingchun Gate and ordered loudly.
Under Ran Min's order, the Spring Festival Gate slowly opened.
"Soldiers, follow me and break the Yan army." Ran Min didn't stop, and directly rode out of the Yingchun Gate, and a thousand begging guards also followed and killed.
Murong Ba, who was outside the Yingchun Gate, was full of confidence in the army under his command, and thought that the first to break through Yecheng must be the army of Yan under his command, so he worked hard to attack Yecheng.
"General, look, the city gate is open, is the Wei army going to open the city and surrender." The general said in surprise.
"No, if it was surrendered, the Wei army would have already erected the white flag, and the general would have seen that most of the Wei army was going to take the initiative." Murong Ba Zhengse said.
Sure enough, not long after Murong Ba spoke, Ran Min and a thousand beggar guards under his command came out of the open city gate.
"Kill, kill the Yan army." Ran Min took the lead and killed Murong Ba in the distance.
Seeing Ran Min leading a cavalry to kill him, Murong Ba couldn't help but get nervous in his heart, the fiasco of fighting with Ran Min for the first time was still imprinted in his mind, and he was afraid that such a fiasco would appear again.
"General, the Wei army is here, and there are only a thousand cavalry." The ministry general reminded loudly.
Murong Ba nodded, and ordered loudly: "Order, the left and right armies, immediately kill and block the enemy army." ”
"Kill ......" Murong Bajun ordered, and the six thousand men and horses on the left and right wings killed Ran Min.
The black oppressive elite grassland iron cavalry was surging to kill, Ran Min naturally had no fearless look, and waved the double-edged spear in his hand, leading the elite men and horses under his command to kill the past.
The three thousand elites of the Yao Xiang Legion could not stop Ran Min's attack, and the six thousand grassland iron cavalry under the command of Murong Ba naturally could not stop Ran Min in the slightest.
Seeing that Ran Min was not far from him, Murong Ba suddenly recalled the fiasco a few days ago, although he was extremely unconvinced, but Ran Min's martial arts were far superior to him, it was an indisputable fact, at this moment, in the face of Ran Min's pressing step by step, Murong Ba seemed to have no better way than to retreat.
"General, Ran Min is unstoppable, retreat quickly!" The general hurriedly reminded.
Murong Ba sighed and ordered, "Retreat, the whole army retreats." ”
Like Yao Xiang's army, Murong Ba's army was unable to stop Ran Min's attack, so he had to retreat helplessly.
Ran Min also chased and killed for a while, then handed over the task of pursuit to his beggar guards, and then rode back to Yecheng, and went straight to the corridor gate.
At this moment, at the corridor gate of Yecheng, the last thousand beggar guards were fully prepared for battle.
"Open the gates." After Ran Min arrived at the corridor gate, he also immediately ordered the city gate to be opened.
After the city gate slowly opened, Ran Min led a thousand beggar guards to kill the Shi Kun army outside the city.
Outside the corridor gate, Shi Kun, the prime minister of Zhao State, was attacking the city under his command, and suddenly, a scout from the west was riding a horse, and after a while, he arrived at Shi Kun's position in the middle of the army.
"Prime Minister, General Yao's army has been dispersed." The scout clenched his fists and reported.
"What, Yao Xiang's army is scattered?" When Shi Kun heard this, he was really taken aback.
Shi Kun's surprised expression had not yet relaxed, and another scout from the east rushed over, and dismounted and bowed: "Prime Minister, the army of the Yan Kingdom has been defeated. ”
"What, even the army of the Yan Kingdom has been defeated, how is this possible?" Shi Kun couldn't believe that this was true, after all, the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under the command of Yao Xiang and Murong Ba were all elites, how could they be defeated so easily.
