Chapter 619: Iron Rope Cavalry
When Murong Jun heard this, he looked at Murong Ping and asked softly, "If your uncle has any opinions, you might as well speak up." ”
Murong Ping pondered for a moment, hugged his fists and said: "Your Majesty, Ran Min dominates Hebei, in addition to my Dayan, the Great Jin Imperial Court must also be very dissatisfied, it is better to inform the Great Jin Imperial Court and let the Jin army attack Ran Min together with my Great Yan, in this way, it will greatly reduce the pressure on my Great Yan Kingdom." ”
"It is indeed a good idea to attack from the north and south, but the Jiangdong Imperial Court is partial to the south of the Yangtze River, I am afraid that it will not actively send troops to the Northern Expedition, at most it is to make a show, and to attack the Wei State, it still depends on the heroes of my Great Yan Kingdom!" Murong Jun saw through the essence of the Great Jin Dynasty at a glance.
"Second brother, although the strength of the beggar army is strong, it is not to be feared, but Ran Min is too brave, our army will always be defeated in a battle with it, if you can block Ran Min from attacking the Chinese army directly, it is not difficult to kill Ran Min." Murong Ba clenched his fists and said.
When Murong Jun heard this, he frowned and said: "Ran Min can actually let the beggar army exert such great strength with his own strength, it is really unimaginable, Ran Min is so unstoppable on the battlefield, but what should I do?" After speaking, he looked at the generals in the lobby.
Seeing Murong Jun's worried face, Murong Ke clenched his fists and said, "Second brother, my brother has come up with a special method to deal with Ran Min, but I don't know what the effect is?" ”
"What a way, but it doesn't hurt to say." Murong Jun hurriedly asked.
Murong Ke clenched his fists and said: "Second brother, the younger brother thinks that the reason why our army can't stop Ran Min's attack is because the soldiers are instinctively afraid of Ran Min, and when they see Ran Min riding their horses and killing, they all spread out to both sides, so far." Only then can Ran Min quickly hit the command platform of our army, if all the soldiers can't spread out to both sides, let them do their best to fight with Ran Min, the younger brother will not believe it, Ran Min can kill thousands of Dayan warriors with the strength of one person. After speaking, there was a hint of confidence in his eyes.
"Well, you're right, but what do you need to do to make my Dayan warrior not afraid of death. What about a bloody battle with Ran Min with all his might? You really have a way. Murong Jun asked suspiciously.
Murong Ke hugged his fists and said, "Second brother." It is human for soldiers to fear death, and if they are to be unable to break up, they must be tied together in order to stop Ran Min's attack. ”
"Tie the soldiers together?" Murong Jun was suddenly a little dazed. He had never seen such a strange tactic.
"Second brother. It's not about tying the soldiers together. Instead, the war horses are connected with iron chains, so that I am a great Yan warrior. It will not be able to break up on both sides. Murong Ke explained softly.
Murong Jun always felt that this method was a little unreliable, paused, and said: "Whether it works or not, you have to give it a try to know, fourth brother, this matter will be handed over to you." ”
"Second brother, don't worry, the younger brother will definitely go all out." Murong Ke clenched his fists and said.
Subsequently, Murong Jun issued an order to transfer all the main forces of Liaodong and Pingzhou to the direction of Youzhou, so as to concentrate the main army in the direction of Youzhou, ready to go south to attack Ran Min at any time.
When all the generals of the Yan State were actively preparing for war, Murong Ke was also intensively training his 600 warriors, and he wanted to train these 600 cavalry in the shortest possible time, and test their strength in defensive operations through drills.
Half a month later, the six hundred warriors carefully trained by Murong Ke were fully proficient, so Murong Ke went to the palace of Jicheng to report the results of the training to Murong Jun, and asked Murong Jun to inspect it himself.
In an open training ground, Murong Jun and a group of generals stood on a high platform, inspecting Murong Ke's carefully trained team.
The 600 cavalry trained by Murong Ke were lined up with 20 war horses, a total of 30 rows, and they passed through the parade platform in turn, among them, the 20 war horses in each row were connected by iron cables, which looked like a whole, and the scene was extremely spectacular.
Listening to the crackling sound of iron cables and looking at the six hundred elite cavalry in a neat formation, a trace of satisfaction appeared on Murong Jun's face.
"Fourth brother, this is the team you have carefully trained? It looks pretty good, and the formation is much neater than the scattered cavalry. Murong Jun praised casually.
After Murong commented on it, he shook his head again and again, and said softly: "The twenty war horses are connected by iron cables, in case one of the war horses is injured and falls to the ground, won't the remaining nineteen war horses be unable to move." After speaking, he looked at Murong Ke.
When Murong Jun heard this, he felt that it was the same, and also asked: "Fourth brother, what my uncle said is right, if one of the war horses falls to the ground, the rest of the war horses will not be able to move, in this way, won't they become a live target for the enemy." ”
When Murong Ke heard this, he was not panicked, and hugged his fists and said: "Uncle and second brother are right, twenty war horses are connected in one word, and there will indeed be a situation where one of them falls to the ground and nineteen horses cannot move, but this is exactly what our army needs!" The purpose of the younger brother is to make these warriors become Ran Min's live targets, so as to slow down the edge of his attack and buy time for the main force of our army to encircle and annihilate Ran Min. ”
"Deliberately sacrifice some warriors, block Ran Min's attack on the Chinese army, and buy time for the main force to annihilate the enemy, fourth brother, how did you come up with it, it is indeed a good idea, if you have these iron rope cavalry, the next time you meet Ran Min, my Dayan will definitely win." Murong Ba said happily.
When Murong Jun and Murong Ping heard this, they gradually understood Murong Ke's intentions, and for this reason, they greatly praised Murong Ke, and Murong Jun even ordered his subordinates to prepare a large number of iron ropes and form more iron rope cavalry to hang Ran Min on the battlefield.
In order to verify the power of the chain cavalry, Murong Jun asked Murong Ba to pretend to be Ran Min and attack the formation of the chain cavalry, as long as he can pass the formation of the chain cavalry, it will be considered a successful breakthrough, so as to see how powerful the chain cavalry is.
Murong Ba received the order, picked up his spear and rode his horse to charge towards the army formation of the iron chain cavalry, and the six hundred iron line cavalry were also completely ready, and each raised his weapons to prepare to meet the enemy.
Murong Ba's force is unmatched in the Yan Kingdom, if it is a scattered six hundred cavalry, it will definitely not be able to stop him, but at this time, he is facing a company of twenty iron rope cavalry, and it is difficult to say whether he can break through the encirclement.
"Kill ......" Murong Ba roared, rode his horse into the iron cavalry formation, and raised his weapon to fight with the soldiers in front of him.
Murong Ba was strong in force, and the few cavalrymen in front of him were naturally not his opponents, and he was defeated in a few rounds, and several war horses were also injured in the front legs and fell to the ground fiercely.
Just when Murong Ba was happy, the cavalry on the left and right sides connected by iron cables surrounded Murong Ba from both sides and launched an attack on Murong Ba together.
Seeing that he was surrounded by more than a dozen cavalry in the core, Murong Ba immediately made a decision and suddenly rode his horse and jumped over the iron rope in front of him, thus getting rid of the siege of more than a dozen cavalry.
But Murong Ba had just jumped out of the encirclement, and before he could catch his breath, the twenty cavalry in the second row surrounded him again, and at the same time raised the weapons in his hands and killed Murong Ba.
Murong Ba relied on his own bravery, struggled to resist, and cut a few war horses again, so that these war horses lay on the ground weakly, and after the war horses lay on the ground, the height of the iron rope was much shorter, for this reason, Murong Ba calmly jumped out of the encirclement of the iron rope cavalry, and continued to kill forward.
Seeing that Murong Ba had broken through the encirclement of the iron chain cavalry one after another, Murong Jun had a trace of doubt about the power of the iron chain cavalry, and looked at Murong Ke, and said softly: "Fourth brother, with these iron chain cavalry, can you really trap Ran Min?" ”
Murong Ke naturally understood Murong Jun's worries, and said confidently: "Second brother, rest assured, although the fifth brother has broken through several lines of defense one after another, the people and horses are tired, or it won't be long before he will be captured." ”
Murong Jun nodded and continued to watch the battle between Murong Ba and the Iron Rope Cavalry.
Sure enough, as Murong Ke expected, Murong Ba's body became less and less, and when he broke through the sixth line of defense, the body of the war horse was not supported, and when he crossed the iron cable, he fell down, overturning Murong Ba on the ground, and the surrounding iron rope cavalry immediately surrounded him and captured Murong Ba.
Seeing that the Iron Rope Cavalry captured Murong Ba, Murong Jun nodded with satisfaction, looked at Murong Ke, and said: "Fourth brother, you did a good job, the Iron Rope Cavalry is really powerful, with them, Ran Min's death is not far away, hahaha!" ”
Murong Ke smiled slightly, hugged his fists and said: "Ran Min's force greatly exceeds that of the fifth brother, and to deal with Ran Min, more iron rope cavalry is needed to capture and kill him." ”
"Well, that's right, in my opinion, five thousand iron rope cavalry is enough to hang Ran Min, so let's form five thousand iron rope cavalry!" Murong Jun said.
"Yes, second brother." Murong Ke hurriedly responded.
Murong Ba dusted off the dirt on his body, walked to the viewing platform, looked at Murong Ke, and said loudly: "Fourth brother, the iron chain cavalry you trained is really powerful, I think that with these iron chain cavalry, you will definitely be able to capture and kill Ran Min." ”
"If you want to capture and kill Ran Min, you need more iron rope cavalry, the second brother has said that we want to form five thousand iron rope cavalry to capture and kill Ran Min in one battle." Murong Ke said happily.
Murong Ba smiled, hugged his fists and said: "Second brother, next time I go south to crusade against Ran Min, I will still be a pioneer, this time, I must capture and kill Ran Min, get back the face of the last fiasco, and let Ran Min know that I am a great iron rider of the Great Yan Kingdom." ”
Murong Jun smiled and promised: "Okay, since the fifth brother is willing to be the pioneer, then you will be the pioneer, this time, if you can't capture Ran Min, I will not spare you." ”
"Second brother, don't worry, this time, I will definitely defeat Ran Min and capture him alive." Murong Ba clenched his fists and said.
"Good, good, that's good." Murong Jun answered, and then led a group of generals back to the palace and began to discuss the strategy of attacking Wei.
After making some preparations, Murong Ke and Murong Ba began to intensify the training of 5,000 iron rope cavalry in preparation for the next southern expedition. (To be continued......)
