Early in the morning of the second day, Murong Ba led the elite of 30,000 Yan troops to leave Jicheng and slowly marched in the direction of Xiangguo to reinforce the army of Zhao and jointly fight against Ran Min's Wei army.

Murong Ke led 20,000 horses to escort grain and grass materials, and was responsible for receiving Murong Ba in front to ensure that nothing went wrong.

Just when the army of Yan Guo left Jicheng and slowly marched towards Xiangguo, the main force of more than 100,000 beggar troops led by Ran Min himself had arrived at a clearing not far from Xiangguo, and set up camp, preparing to camp for a day, and on the second day, he approached the city of Xiangguo and broke through Xiangguo in a battle, thus completely destroying the will of the army of Zhao to resist, stabilizing the situation in Hebei, and preparing for the next step to sweep the world.

On the side of the beggar army camp was a dirt mountain, and Ran Min led his generals to ride horses to the top of the mountain, and looked at the direction of Xiangguo, falling into deep thought.

Ran Min was like an iron tower, standing at the top of the earth mountain, looking majestic, and a breeze blew, blowing his red robe.

"Our army has been fighting for more than a year, but it has not been able to break through Xiangguo, and now, the grain and grass around Yecheng are becoming more and more scarce, and this situation must not continue, otherwise, it will become more and more unfavorable to our army." Ran Min opened his mouth and said worriedly.

Seeing the worry on Ran Min's face, the generals were also deeply touched, in order to fight against the Zhonghu coalition army that surpassed their own strength, almost all the Chinese people in Hebei joined the begging army, so that the strength of the begging army was greatly enhanced, and most of the battles would be victorious, but in the area around Yecheng, there were no middle-aged people planting crops, and there was less food for two seasons a year. If the army of Zhao State cannot be quickly defeated and agricultural production around Yecheng is restored, hundreds of thousands of begging troops will have to worry about running out of food.

"Your Majesty, our army and the army of Zhao State are attacking each other month and moon, and the land around Yecheng has long been flattened by war horses, and there is no way to grow crops at all, so if you don't defeat Zhao State immediately and obtain a safe environment. There is no way to grow food around Yecheng. A subordinate general said.

"Yes! Emperor. The crops can't withstand the trampling of war horses, and besides, the middle-aged man must join the army to surround Yecheng, and he has no intention of planting crops. And so on. It's not a long-term solution! A general said.

Ran Min clenched the double-edged spear in his hand. He said loudly: "This time, our army is exhausted, and we must capture Xiangguo in one battle, if we can't win." I will never return to Yecheng. ”

"Work together to capture Xiangguo." The generals shouted in unison.

Seeing that the morale of the soldiers under his command was still very high, Ran Min was much more relieved, and immediately returned to the city to arrange the siege plan for the second day.

Ran Min's army arrived not far outside the city of Xiangguo, Shi Yuan in the city naturally knew about it a long time ago, seeing Ran Min's elite out, Shi Yuan was very scared, Yan Guo would not send reinforcements to support him, he still did not know, even if Yan sent troops to help, it was impossible to reach Xiangguo in a short time, and at this time, to resist Ran Min's attack, only to rely on tens of thousands of troops in Xiangguo City.

In order to prevent Ran Min from taking advantage of the night to sneak attack Xiangguo, Shi Yuan hurriedly convened his generals to discuss countermeasures for resistance.

In the palace, Yao Xiang, Shi Kun, Zhang Ju, Wang Lang, Zhang Hedu and other generals all arrived overnight.

Shi Yuan looked at the generals and said loudly: "Generals, now that the Wei army has been killed not far outside the city, but there is no news from the reinforcements of the Yan State, it is up to the generals to defend the Xiangguo." ”

"The emperor can rest assured, Xiangguo City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, Ran Min has more than 100,000 troops, and it is impossible to capture it in a short time, Yan State will definitely send reinforcements, it will arrive in a few days at most, as soon as Yan reinforcements arrive, our army can launch a counterattack against Ran Min according to the plan." Yao Xiang said loudly.

"If Yan Guo is unwilling to send troops, then what, can General Yao's strategy be carried out without Yan Guo's reinforcements." Shi Yuan asked.

Yao Xiang thought for a while, hugged his fists and said: "If there is no help from the Yan army, the plan of the suspicious army will be greatly reduced, so the last general thinks that it is better to wait for the Yan army to arrive in Xiangguo, and then launch a counterattack against Ran Min, now, just go all out to collect the city." ”

Hearing this, Shi Yuan nodded, and ordered: "Prime Minister, the task of defending Xiangguo is entrusted to you, and the generals must do their best to assist the Prime Minister." ”

"Obey the Emperor's orders." The generals will receive the command together.

That night, Yao Xiang, Zhang Hedu, Zhang Ju and others left Xiangguo one after another, returned to their respective camps, and prepared to join the army of Yan State, and launched an ambush on Ran Min on all sides.

Early in the morning of the second day, Ran Min personally led the main force of the beggar army to kill the city of Xiangguo.

For the structure of Xiangguo, Ran Min is naturally very clear, and for this reason, he has manufactured a large number of targeted siege equipment, preparing to attack Xiangguo in one fell swoop.

Soon, the main force of the beggar army gathered under the city of Xiangguo and prepared to attack the city.

Standing on the wall of Xiangguo City, Zhao Ruyin Wang Shi Kun, looking at the dense begging army under the city, he couldn't help but feel nervous, he was no stranger to the combat power of the begging army, and in the face of such a huge siege army, his pressure was conceivable.

But for the continuation of Zhao's regime, he had to hold on to Xiang to wait for the arrival of Yan reinforcements.

Ran Min stared at the city wall of Xiangguo, paused, and ordered from the side: "Order the whole army to attack the city immediately." ”

The herald waved Daxu forward, and suddenly, all the generals of the army were informed of the order to march.

"Soldiers, kill ......" The generals of the begging army gave the order to siege the city.

"Kill ......" begging soldiers roared towards Xiangguo City, and all kinds of siege weapons began to roar.

In the face of the attack of the beggar army, Shi Kun, who was defending the city, did not retreat, but ordered his soldiers to defend with all their strength to block the sharp attack of the beggar army.

In order to distract the energy of the begging army, Yao Xiang, Zhang Hedu, Zhang Ju, and Wang Lang gradually moved closer to the direction of Xiangguo, and formed a situation of encirclement of Ran Min's begging army.

Ran Min's goal was Xiangguo, and for this reason, only half of his troops were sent to monitor Yao Xiang and other armies, and the other half of his men and horses were attacking the city with all their might.

In order to capture Xiangguo as soon as possible, Ran Min adopted a variety of siege methods, and he used almost all the methods used to siege the city, but after a few days, he still couldn't break through Xiangguo City, which couldn't help but make Shi Min a little annoyed.

But something even worse happened, according to the scouts, Yan's 30,000 vanguard army had arrived near Xiang and was ready to support Zhao.

Hearing that Yan sent troops to help Zhao State, Ran Min was even more anxious, in order to give Zhao State's vanguard legion a dismount, Ran Min decided to personally lead three thousand beggar guards to kill the reinforced Yan State Pioneer Legion.

The 30,000 elites of the Yan Kingdom led by Murong Ba, after many days of marching, finally arrived near Xiangguo City, and through the exploration of the guò scouts, Murong Ba learned that there was a bloody battle going on in the direction of the south gate, so a heart that was about to move became excited.

"Order the whole army to kill in the direction of the south gate, I was going to let Ran Min know that my Great Yan Country Grassland Iron Cavalry is powerful." Murong Ba gave the order to march to the south gate.

Soon, 30,000 elite men and horses of the Yan Kingdom, under the leadership of the main general Murong Ba, slowly marched towards the south gate of Xiangguo City, and collided with the 3,000 beggar guards led by Ran Min himself.

Seeing the 30,000 elite cavalry of the Yan Kingdom slowly approaching, Ran Min was not afraid at all, and accelerated forward, preparing to capture and kill the main general of the Yan army in a battle.

Murong Ba saw that the other party only had 3,000 men and horses, but he was not afraid of his own 30,000 troops, and he was secretly surprised in his heart, from the figure of the leading general and the vermilion war horse he was riding, he could already judge that the general who led the 3,000 beggar army was Ran Min himself.

"Soldiers, the enemy general in front is Ran Min, kill Ran Min, the reward is 10,000 taels, kill ......" Murong Ba didn't stop doing anything, and directly gave the order to attack.

"......Killed" 30,000 Yan cavalry, sent a sharp arrow formation, and launched a fierce attack on Ran Min's 3,000 men and horses.

"Just in time." The corner of Ran Min's mouth smiled slightly, and he moved the double-edged spear in his hand forward, and immediately led three thousand beggar guards, arranged in a conical formation, and killed Murong Ba's 30,000 army from the front.

The two armies of "Killing ......" soon fought together and started a fierce battle.

Ran Min was at the tip of the cone-shaped formation, he waved the double-edged spear in his hand, constantly slashing the oncoming Yan cavalry, and killed the middle of the Yan formation step by step, his goal was only one, that is, to kill Murong Ba, the main general of the Yan army, so as to force the Yan cavalry to disperse, in order to facilitate the pursuit of the fleeing enemy and expand the results.

Seeing Ran Min wielding a double-edged spear, invincible and unstoppable, Murong Ba was greatly surprised, and couldn't help but feel a little frightened, he could feel Dao Ran Min's strong combat power, and couldn't help but clench the weapon in his hand.

Ran Min didn't care how many Yan Army soldiers he killed, he was killing the enemy while pressing in the direction of Murong Ba, and quickly killed to a position less than ten steps away from Murong Ba, and pointed at Murong Ba with the double-edged spear in his hand, full of unstoppable domineering.

Murong Ba couldn't help but shiver, but he was the first warrior of the Yan Kingdom and the commander of the 30,000 cavalry, so in the face of Ran Min's provocation, he naturally couldn't be cowardly, otherwise, it would make the soldiers under his command laugh, and at the same time, it would also put the 30,000 army in a disadvantageous situation.

"Ran Min, Hugh is rampant." Murong Ba raised the spear in his hand and rode his horse to kill Ran Min in front of him.

"Unknown junior, report your name quickly." Ran Min waved his double-edged spear, blocked Murong Ba's blow, and asked.

The spears and spears intersected, and there was a violent vibration, which suddenly made Murong Ba's arm tingle for a while, and Ran Min was also slightly surprised, as if he was a little surprised by Murong Ba's strength.

"General, Murong Ba of the Great Yan Kingdom is also, look at the gun." Murong Ba plucked up his courage and raised his gun again to stab Ran Min's heart.

Seeing this, Ran Min swung the double-edged spear crossbow Murong Ba's fatal shot, and laughed loudly: "The first warrior of the Yan Kingdom, there are indeed two hits, but compared to me, it is still far behind?" After speaking, he blocked Murong Ba's spear and began to launch a counterattack. (To be continued......)
