In order to avoid a large number of casualties among his subordinates, Murong Ba made a decision and ordered loudly: "Retreat, the soldiers retreat immediately." With that, he turned his horse's head and galloped back.

The soldiers of the Yan army, seeing that Murong Ba had ordered a retreat, and that the Wei army was coming fiercely, hurriedly followed behind Murong Ba and fled backwards.

But this time, Ran Min and his beggar guards suddenly attacked and attacked in three ways, but the Yan army was completely unprepared, so not only suffered a lot of losses, but also thousands of soldiers were cut off by the Wei army.

Seeing that Murong Ba and the main force of the Yan army had fled, Ran Min ordered loudly: "Soldiers, go all out to strangle the trapped enemy and kill the ......" After speaking, he turned his horse's head and killed the trapped Yan cavalry behind him.

Ran Min wielded a double-edged spear and a hooked halberd, constantly killing the Yan cavalry, and the beggar guards under his command were also brave in battle, and constantly killed the Yan cavalry.

The encircled cavalry of the Yan army only had more than 2,000 horses, and the strength was less than that of the Wei army, so it completely lost the strength to resist, especially in the face of Ran Min's strong force, which was even more terrifying.

Fortunately, the terrain here is quite open, and the besieged Yan cavalry desperately broke through to the surrounding areas, and nearly one-third of the Yan cavalry successfully broke through the encirclement, and the remaining more than 1,000 Yan soldiers were all killed by Ran Min and the beggar guards under his command.

After a short battle, Ran Min and the elite army under his command not only defeated the 20,000 elite cavalry of the Yan army, but also annihilated more than 1,000 Yan cavalry, giving the Yan cavalry a big blow. greatly destroyed the prestige of the Yan army, and together with the nine battles and nine victories in the previous three days, it was ten battles and ten victories.

With less than 10,000 horses under his command, and ten consecutive defeats of the 100,000 main forces of the Yan army, Ran Min was very proud, and confidently believed that as long as he and his 8,000 elite beggar troops were there, it would be enough to protect himself, and even further sweep the world.

"Your Majesty. The Yan cavalry scattered and fled. Our army has won a great victory, our army has won a great victory! A general said excitedly.

"Your Majesty, our army has defeated the enemy in this battle, why not continue to pursue the victory. Expand the results. Another general said.

Ran Min smiled. Zhengse said: "Our army is waiting for the enemy. Naturally, a great victory could be achieved, but the enemy army had already broken and fled, and our army was in hot pursuit. You may not be able to get much, so forget it! ”

"Your Majesty, after this battle, the cavalry of the Yan Army must not dare to chase after me so recklessly, and our army can retreat with peace of mind." Said one of the generals.

Ran Min nodded and ordered: "The whole army immediately retreats and converges with the main force of the infantry." Then he turned his horse's head and ran southwest.

The beggar guards cavalry warriors followed behind Ran Min and rode their horses slowly towards the southwest.

Murong Ba and the cavalry soldiers under his command fled for more than ten miles in a company, and when they saw that Ran Min's cavalry did not chase them, they stopped with confidence and dismounted to rest.

"General, I really didn't expect that Ran Min would set up an ambush in such a place, which would cause our army to be caught off guard and suffer heavy losses." A general of the Yan Army said helplessly.

Murong Ba looked up at the soldiers under his command, paused, and asked, "How many soldiers our army has lost, check it immediately." ”

"Yes, General." The general answered, turned around and went to count the number of people.

"General, our army has been defeated again and fled, and the morale of the soldiers has just been restored, and they have been greatly hit, what can we do? I really didn't expect that just one Ran Min would be so difficult to deal with. A general said worriedly.

When Murong Ba heard this, he fell into deep thought, what the general said was right, Ran Min is really too difficult to deal with, the cavalry of the Great Yan Kingdom has always won more and lost less for many years, but now, it has experienced ten battles and ten defeats in a row, which is a great humiliation for the Great Yan Kingdom, as the general of the Yan Army and the royal family of the Great Yan Kingdom, Murong Ba felt a strong sense of humiliation, and made up his mind that he must completely annihilate Ran Min in order to remove the biggest obstacle to entering the Central Plains.

However, at present, the army under his command has suffered another crushing defeat and lost a lot of soldiers, which is a big blow to the morale of the army, Murong Ba feels that the most important thing at the moment is to restore the morale of the army, and it is necessary to immediately report the situation to his fourth brother Murong Ke to listen to Murong Ke's opinion.

"General, the inventory has been completed, in this battle, our army has lost a total of 1,320 soldiers and soldiers, and the losses are heavy!" The general in charge of the inventory of the fallen soldiers reported with his fists in his hands.

"What, our army has lost so much." When Murong Ba heard this, his heart was shocked, he never thought that in this battle, he would lose so many soldiers, which was almost the sum of the nine defeats in the previous three days, and the loss of soldiers, this loss was too great for Murong Ba.

Murong Ba's heart was very painful, but he couldn't express it, because, next, they had to fight against Ran Min, if all the soldiers under his command were immersed in grief and depression, it would be difficult to win the next battle.

"Soldiers, this battle is a moment of negligence on the part of the general, who mistakenly fell into Ran Min's ambush, so that the soldiers suffered heavy losses, but the general will definitely seek justice for the dead soldiers, as long as the officers and soldiers of our army are united, they will definitely be able to completely defeat the Wei army and capture Ran Min alive, soldiers, you must believe in this general, and believe that my Dayan Kingdom will definitely achieve the final victory." Murong Ba roared loudly.

Encouraged by Murong Ba, the soldiers of the Yan army were once again full of fighting spirit, and were ready to avenge the dead soldiers and annihilate the main force of the Wei army.

Seeing that the morale of the soldiers under his command had improved, Murong Ba felt extremely relieved, but at this moment, he no longer dared to recklessly lead the army under his command and chase after the Ran Min army, for the sake of safety, Murong Ba only sent a hundred scouts to explore the road, and after confirming that there was no Wei army ambush on the road, he led the main army under his command to chase to the southwest.

Murong Ba sent a henchman to immediately inform Murong Ke in the rear of the news that he would be ambushed by Ran Min's cavalry and lose more than a thousand soldiers.

When Murong Ke heard the news, he was naturally very angry, and repeatedly accused Murong Ba of being too reckless to attack the enemy, and he actually fell into an ambush, and let the army under his command lose so badly.

However, at this time, the accusation had become meaningless, and Murong Ke immediately made a decision, and immediately led the main force of the cavalry under his command to move closer to the forward Murong Ba at the fastest speed, so as to prevent Murong Ba from mistakenly hitting Ran Min's ambush again.

After dawn, the main army led by Murong Ke and Murong Ba's forwards met victoriously at the position where Ran Min was ambushed.

"Fourth brother, it is my fault that I once again mistakenly fell into Ran Min's ambush and let the army suffer such a big loss, and I am willing to bear all the blame." When Murong Ba saw Murong Ke, his first sentence was to confess.

Murong Ke looked at the surrounding terrain, shook his head, and said softly: "Forget it, fifth brother, you can't be completely blamed for this, it's this Ran Min who is too cunning, and he actually set up an ambush in such a position that is not conducive to ambushing, if it were me, I would also be ambushed by mistake." After speaking, he frowned.

"Fourth brother, what are you worried about?" Murong Ba saw Murong Ke's brows tightened, and asked softly.

Murong Ke paused, and said softly: "I'm thinking, this Ran Min is really too cunning, if our army wants to annihilate the main force of the Wei army as much as possible, I'm afraid it will not be an easy thing, we must do our best to make accurate predictions and plans, and we can't be sloppy at all." ”

"Yes, fourth brother, whatever you say, we will do it." Murong Ba hurriedly responded.

Murong Ke nodded, asked the soldiers beside him to hang the map between the two trees next to him, and pointed to the map and said: "Fifth brother, you see, this is Anxi City, this is Weichang City, and this is Liantai, at present, Ran Min has given up Anxi City and is running to the southwest, his purpose is likely to lead our army into the dense forest near Weichang City, so that the main cavalry of our army will not be able to give full play to its advantages, and the infantry under Ran Min will be able to give full play to the advantages of jungle warfare, so that the situation will be extremely unfavorable to our army, Our army must not fight a decisive battle with the Wei army in a dense forest, but must choose an open area, only in this way can it be invincible.

"Fourth brother, how can our army lead Ran Min into the open land for a decisive battle?" Murong Ba said worriedly.

Murong Ke smiled and asked softly, "You carefully observe the map to see where it is most beneficial for the infantry to give full play to their advantages." ”

Murong Ba stared at the map, for a long time, pointed to a large wooded area southwest of Liantai, and replied softly: "Fourth brother, it's here, the terrain here is dense and jungled, and it is extremely vast, once the main cavalry of our army enters the dense forest, it will completely lose its advantage, once the Wei army launches a surprise attack, our army will inevitably suffer heavy losses, so, I think, the purpose of Ran Min's retreat to the south is to introduce our army into the dense forest southwest of Liantai, so that our army will be severely damaged." ”

When Murong Ke heard this, he nodded with satisfaction, and said softly: "Fifth brother, your analysis is very reasonable, Ran Min must think so, you see, Liantai is only a hundred miles away from the Suhai army in Changshan, if the main force of tens of thousands of infantry in Suhai enters the dense forest and converges with Ran Min's elite army, the soldiers are a force that cannot be underestimated, and once the main cavalry of our army is trapped, fighting in such terrain, the losses can be imagined." ”

"Fourth brother, since Ran Min has such a treacherous plan, how should our army deal with it?" Murong Ba asked softly.

Murong Ke pointed to a large open space before entering the dense forest, and said softly: "Fifth brother, you see, if the Ran Min Legion wants to enter the dense forest, it must pass through more than ten miles of open space here, if our army chooses to fight the Ran Min Legion here, what do you think of our army's chances of victory?" After speaking, there was a confident glint in his eyes.

Murong Ba looked at the map carefully, and then said loudly: "Fourth brother, if the main cavalry of our army chooses to fight Ran Min here, our army will definitely achieve a complete victory." (To be continued......)
