Chapter 670: Six Battles and Six Victories
Early in the morning of the second day, Ran Min and his beggar guards were still immersed in the joy of three battles and three victories the day before, but unexpectedly, the Yan cavalry came again and shouted and cursed outside the city.
At this time, although the soldiers of the begging guards were already very tired, the brilliant victory of the previous day's three battles and three victories was inspiring them and making them full of fighting spirit, and besides, the abuse of the Yan cavalry also made them extremely angry.
Seeing that the morale of the soldiers under his command was like a rainbow, Ran Min was greatly satisfied, and immediately ordered the whole army to go out of the city to meet the enemy, this time, he wanted to defeat the Yan cavalry again, and let the Yan cavalry be completely frightened, so as to obediently withdraw from Jizhou.
"Your Majesty, our army won three battles and three victories yesterday, and the soldiers are very tired, so it is better to rest and recuperate for the time being, and when the soldiers are full, it is not too late to fight again." A general built yì road.
When Ran Min heard this, he said angrily: "The soldiers of our army are all alive and well, which one of them showed a tired posture, and ordered, the army immediately went out of the city to meet the battle, and I vowed to defeat the Yan army." ”
Under Ran Min's strong order, the gate of Anxi City slowly opened, and Ran Min personally led his begging guards to run out of the city gate, and immediately launched a fierce attack on the cavalry in front of him.
After the rout of the previous day, the morale of the Yan cavalry has weakened a lot, and when they fight against Ran Min, they are even more powerless, and even, as long as Ran Min kills, they will immediately flee far away, so as not to become the soul of Ran Min's spear.
Ran Min naturally also felt the depression of the Yan army's soldiers, but the Yan army was numerous after all. Therefore, it still has the strength to attack.
After a period of fighting, Ran Min once again killed the middle army of the Yan army, and let the main force of the Yan army flee, thus causing the entire Yan army to disperse and flee.
As the day before, after the main force of the Yan army broke and fled, Ran Min personally led his begging guards to pursue the fleeing Yan cavalry, and killed some of the Yan cavalry, and the vast majority of the Yan soldiers successfully escaped.
Followed by. Same as yesterday. Ran Min once again encountered the cavalry of the Second Route Yan Army, which was in charge of answering, and the same situation as the day before, which aroused Ran Min's suspicions, and he didn't understand. Why did Murong Ke arrange it like this? Let your cavalry use the same tactics against you. But the cavalry of the Yan army is in front of them, and if they trade and then retreat, they will show weakness, and once this is the case. The cavalry of the Yan army came from behind, and it was the soldiers and horses under his command that were scattered.
In order to defeat the Yan cavalry in one go, Ran Min once again launched a fierce attack on tens of thousands of Yan cavalry, and the result was naturally that he once again completely defeated the Yan cavalry, and pursued for several miles, and then met with the third Yan army, and then, it was once again a brilliant victory to defeat the Yan army.
Like the first day, on the second day, Ran Min and the elite army under his command once again won a huge victory in three battles and three victories, and Ran Min could clearly feel that the strength of the Yan cavalry was decreasing step by step, and most of the morale had disappeared.
After two consecutive days of six battles and six victories, Ran Min and the beggar guards under his command were extremely excited, but also extremely tired.
After all the three groups of the Yan army were dispersed, Ran Min led his army back to Anxi City.
However, after two days of fierce fighting, Ran Min had doubts in his heart, he knew very well in his heart that Murong Ke was a general who was very good at using soldiers, how could he be so stupid to let the soldiers under his command take turns to be humiliated, what was his purpose, and what was his ulterior conspiracy.
In the imperial tent, Ran Min and his generals got together and discussed the current strategy of the Yan army and the possible next moves.
"Generals, Murong Ke challenged me for two consecutive days, but he was defeated and fled, do you think Murong Ke will continue to fight like this in the next few days?" Ran Min looked at the generals under his command and asked loudly.
A general replied loudly: "Your Majesty, Murong Ke's method of warfare is only afraid that it is a strategy to tire the enemy, and the continuous attacks and harassment of Guò will give our army no chance to breathe, so that when our army is exhausted, launch a fierce attack, and in the next few days, the cavalry of the Yan army will definitely continue to harass our army." ”
Hearing this, Ran Min nodded, and said softly: "What you said is right, I originally thought so, Murong Ke should have taken the strategy of exhausting the enemy, but in this way, the Yan army has been defeated repeatedly, and the morale will plummet, if the morale of an army is completely dissipated, how can he launch a fierce attack when our army is exhausted, it seems that Murong Ke has miscalculated." ”
"What the emperor said is that in today's battle, the last general can clearly feel that the combat strength of the Yan army's cavalry has dropped a lot, and the morale is much worse than yesterday." Said one of the generals.
Ran Min smiled and said, "I also feel this way, and this is all a real feeling, not a pretending to be by the Yan army cavalry." ”
"Your Majesty, since Murong Ke has adopted the strategy of exhausting the enemy, then our army can also take advantage of this opportunity to strike at the Yan cavalry fiercely, and completely crush the morale of the Yan cavalry, so that the main force of the Yan army will completely lose the will to fight and become a force without combat effectiveness." A general built yì road.
Ran Min nodded with satisfaction, and said with a straight face: "Let the soldiers rest well, tomorrow in a battle, our army will continue to defeat the Yan army, and they will all disperse, right?" ”
"Yes, Your Majesty." The generals replied loudly and then left.
After the generals left, Ran Min pondered deeply in the imperial tent alone, he thought about it left and right, and always felt that Murong Ke had a more secret conspiracy in addition to the enemy's strategy, but what this conspiracy was, Ran Min couldn't judge for a while, so he had to put this matter aside.
#####
In the Yan army camp, which was less than thirty miles away from Anxi City, Murong Ke, the chief general of the Yan army, and a group of Yan army generals were discussing in the big tent.
The generals of the Yan army were a little dissatisfied with the defeat for two consecutive days, although they knew that this was all Murong Ke's strategy to exhaust the enemy and pride the enemy, but the morale of the generals under his command was getting lower and lower, which really made them feel very worried.
After all, morale is extremely important for an army, morale can win more with less, and once morale is low, or even completely demoralized, the army is completely ruined.
"General, in two consecutive days of fighting, our troops lost 35 soldiers and wounded 130, and most importantly, now, the morale of our army is extremely low, and the soldiers are like seeing Ran Min when they see a ghost, and they don't have the courage to rush forward at all. A Yan army general said worriedly.
"General, fifty-three soldiers were killed and one hundred and ninety-two wounded, the situation is even worse!" Another general complained.
When Murong Ke heard this, he smiled faintly, the current situation was completely expected by him, and even some small subtleties were exactly the same as he had expected.
"Generals, you don't have to worry, in order to finally annihilate the Ran Min Army, these casualties are worth it now." Murong Ke said lightly.
"General, now that the morale of our army has been severely depressed, how can we still defeat Ran Min's army, it would be good to protect ourselves." A Yan army general said.
Murong Ke smiled and said lightly: "If the morale of our army is not low, how can we make Ran Min feel like underestimating the enemy, so that our army has a chance to completely annihilate the Wei army?" Besides, Ben will naturally have a way to restore the morale of all the soldiers on the day of the decisive battle, so you don't have to worry at all, go down! ”
"Yes, General." The generals of the Yan Army answered, turned around and left the big tent of the Chinese army.
After the generals left, Murong Ba looked at Murong Ke and said softly, "Fourth brother, you are really sure that you will annihilate Ran Min's army within ten days. After speaking, his eyes were a little suspicious.
It's no wonder, after all, at this time, the 100,000 Yan army has lost its fighting spirit, Murong Ba doesn't think that his fourth brother can restore the morale of all the soldiers on the day of the decisive battle, and those who are generals know that morale is mainly fought on the battlefield, not with one mouth.
Murong Ke smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth, and said softly: "I can't say that I am ten percent sure, but at least ninety percent sure, success or failure, just these few days." ”
"The current development of the situation seems to be completely expected by the fourth brother, but I don't know if Ran Min has seen through the fourth brother's plan after two consecutive days of fighting, or whether other changes will happen." Murong Ba said worriedly.
Murong Ke stood up, paced in the big tent of the Chinese army, paused, and said softly: "Ran Min's martial arts are unparalleled in the world, and the beggar army under his command is the elite division in the world, this person is very conceited, even if he sees through our army's strategy, he may not show weakness, so our army's plan should be able to be implemented smoothly." ”
When Murong Ba heard this, he nodded, and said softly: "Fourth brother, after six battles for two consecutive days, let us see the strength of the beggar army under Ran Min!" After yesterday's three bloody battles, the beggars did not seem to be tired, and when they fought today, they were still unusually brave, as if they would never get tired. After speaking, he showed a frightened expression.
Murong Ke smiled and said softly: "The beggar army is also a human being, and people will be tired, the beggar army has not diminished its combat strength after many major battles, which can only show that they are a well-trained elite division, if it weren't for the excellence of the beggar army, how could Ran Min rely on his own strength to destroy the nearly one million army of the Zhao State, and even, ascend the throne in Yecheng." ”
"Fourth brother, I understand, tomorrow our army will continue to attack Anxi City." Murong Ba seemed to understand something and said loudly.
Murong Ke nodded and said softly, "Okay, you go back and rest first!" Tomorrow's group of men and horses will still be led by you. ”
"Yes, Fourth Brother." Murong Ba responded, turned around and left the Chinese army's tent and returned to his camp. (To be continued......)
