Murong Ke and the 50,000 cavalry under his command were intercepted by the 20,000 elite cavalry under Deng Qiang's command, and the main force of the Xie Ai Legion in the rear may chase and kill at any time, thus forming an encirclement of the soldiers and horses under their command.

"Fourth brother, our army must do everything possible to break through the enemy's interception, otherwise, tens of thousands of iron rope cavalry will be sacrificed in vain." Obviously, Murong Ba also saw the urgency of the situation, and loudly demanded that he do everything possible to break through the interception of Deng Qiang's army.

Murong Ke nodded, and said with a straight face: "With only 20,000 enemy cavalry, how can they block the way of our army, pass the order, the whole army will assault, kill a bloody road, don't entangle with the enemy, retreat to Xiangguo City, and join the soldiers and horses on the outskirts of Xiangguo City." ”

Obviously, Murong Ke planned to get rid of the entanglement of the enemy army as much as possible, and retreat to the direction of Xiangguo City as quickly as possible, and then join up with the 50,000 soldiers and horses of Xiangguo City, and finally, evacuate in the direction of Jicheng together, so as to ensure that half of the soldiers and horses returned to Jicheng safely.

Murong Ke believed that as long as half of the soldiers and horses could return to Jicheng smoothly, they would be able to ensure the safety of the Great Yan Kingdom and keep the land of Youzhou and Pingzhou.

Murong Ba naturally understood this truth, so he roared loudly: "Soldiers, attack with all your might, open a bloody road, and kill ......" After speaking, he personally led a team of elite soldiers to kill the Deng Qiang army.

"Killing ......" Inspired by Murong Ba, the Yan army launched a fierce attack on the Deng Qiang army, and it had the momentum to break through the interception of the Deng Qiang army in one fell swoop.

"General, the enemy army suddenly stepped up its attack, it seems that they want to kill a bloody road and flee north!" A general looked at the army of the Yan Kingdom that was frantically attacking and said loudly.

Deng Qiang nodded. Zhengse said: "Murong Ke wants to escape, it's not so easy, pass the order, and the army will fight with all their strength to block the enemy army." ”

"Yes, General." The general led the troops loudly. And immediately ordered: "The whole army fights hard, blocks the enemy, and kills ......" After speaking, he personally led a team of soldiers and horses to kill the attacking Yan army.

The soldiers of the "Kill ......" Deng Qiang Legion also roared to kill the Yan army.

At this time, the Xie Ai Legion not far away has already achieved absolute superiority, and it will not be long before the Iron Rope Cavalry of the Yan Kingdom will be annihilated. The soldiers under Deng Qiang's command were all full of confidence, while the soldiers under Murong Ke were very nervous, they were afraid that the army under Xie Ai's command would outflank them at any time, making it difficult for them to escape, but it was precisely because of this worry and fear that the sense of crisis of the soldiers under Murong Ke was stronger. And for this reason, it has burst out with more powerful combat effectiveness.

The soldiers and horses under the command of Murong Ke not only had a stronger sense of crisis, but also had a great advantage in terms of troops. For this reason, it is natural to have the strength to break through the Deng Qiang army.

After a fierce battle, Murong Ke and the army under his command finally tore a big hole in the defense line of Deng Qiang's army, and immediately fled from this big hole and ran towards Xiangguo City.

"General. The army of Yan is attacking too fiercely, and now it has broken through the defense line of our army and is fleeing due north. A subordinate general rode to Deng Qiang's side and said loudly.

Deng Qiang naturally saw this qiē a long time ago, but. The strength of the 50,000 cavalry under Murong Ke's command is indeed above the soldiers and horses under his command, but the main army of Xie Ai's army has been besieging the iron rope cavalry and has not surrounded it, in this case, he naturally has no way to stop the departure of the main army under Murong Ke.

"General Xie asked the general to detour behind the enemy, and now our army has detoured behind the enemy according to the order, and fought with the Yan cavalry, but General Xie did not lead the troops to pursue the Yan army, with our army's 20,000 soldiers and horses, how can we stop the 50,000 troops under Murong Ke, just forget it, just order the whole army to pursue the fleeing Yan army, kill as many as you can, and don't have to show mercy." Deng Qiang said loudly.

"Yes, General." The general shouted the order, and immediately shouted: "All the soldiers of the army, chase and kill the enemy, chase and kill the enemy." ”

"Kill ......" The soldiers of the Deng Qiang army roared and launched a pursuit of the fleeing Murong Ke army.

Although Murong Ke and the army under his command tore a hole in the defense line of the Deng Qiang army, when pursued by the Deng Qiang army, the tens of thousands of troops under his command did not all withdraw, and thousands of men and horses were still surrounded by the pursuing Deng Qiang army, and the shape was precarious.

"General, our army has 3,000 soldiers and horses, and it was stopped by the enemy, do you want to return to the rescue." A subordinate general looked at Murong Ke and asked loudly.

Murong Ke frowned, looked at the surrounded army of soldiers and horses, and said loudly: "Pass the order, and the whole army will quickly retreat to Xiangguo City." ”

Obviously, Murong Ke didn't plan to ask for this army of soldiers and horses, after all, the more than 100,000 troops under Xie Ai could be killed at any time, and it would be good for him and the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under his command to escape safely, where would he dare to hope to rescue the besieged 3,000 soldiers, after all, it is very unwise to put all the 50,000 troops in danger in order to rescue 3,000 men and horses, with Murong Ke's wisdom, he will naturally not make such a choice, after all, it is good to save one more force at this time.

"The whole army quickly withdrew in the direction of Xiangguo City." The subordinate general carried out Murong Ke's order and conveyed it loudly.

Soon, the soldiers of the Yan Kingdom, who had received the order, began to evacuate north at full speed, and did not return to rescue the besieged soldiers and horses.

"General, Murong Ke and the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under his command all fled, but our army still intercepted the 3,000 men and horses of the Yan army." A subordinate general looked at Deng Qiang and said happily.

Deng Qiang nodded and said loudly: "The whole army will attack immediately and wipe out all the three thousand cavalry of the Yan Kingdom, leaving not a single one." ”

"The whole army immediately attacked, annihilated the besieged Yan army, and killed ......" The general roared, leading his soldiers and horses to kill the surrounded Yan army.

The three thousand besieged soldiers and horses of the Yan State were the weakest in combat power under Murong Ke's command, and in the face of the encirclement of the Deng Qiang army, they naturally did not have much ability to resist, and it didn't take long for them to be wiped out by the Deng Qiang army.

The 30,000 Yan Army Iron Rope Cavalry surrounded by the main force of the Deng Qiang Army was also wiped out almost at the same time, however, in order to eliminate the Yan Army's Iron Rope Cavalry, the main army under Xie Ai also lost a lot of soldiers and horses, among them, the elite chariot troops, lost at least 5,000 men and horses, the recruits lost more than 20,000, and the main cavalry also lost nearly 20,000, which can be said to be quite a loss, but the elite iron rope cavalry that can annihilate the Yan Army, these losses are still very worthwhile.

"General, the elite soldiers and horses of the Yan army have been completely wiped out by our army, but Murong Ke and the tens of thousands of cavalry under his command have run away, whether our army will pursue them immediately." The general looked at Xie Ai and asked loudly.

Xie Ai thought about it for a while, and said: "The soldiers are already very tired after such a big battle, so they will rest for the night first, and then launch a pursuit of the enemy early tomorrow morning." ”

Obviously, Xie Ai intends to let the army under his command take the necessary rest and recuperate, so that he can exert more powerful combat effectiveness in future battles.

At a position dozens of miles north of Yecheng, seeing that the soldiers and horses under Xie Ai did not chase after him, Murong Ke and the tens of thousands of cavalry under his command began to stop and camp and count the number of people.

"Fourth brother, in today's battle, the losses of our army are really too great, all the 50,000 iron rope cavalry have been lost, this is all the elite soldiers and horses of my Dayan Kingdom!" As soon as he stopped to rest, Murong Ba frowned and said.

Murong Ke was naturally very helpless, he underestimated the enemy for a while, and actually fell for Xie Ai's plan to lure the enemy, now that the matter has happened, it is useless for him to regret it.

"In the first battle of Xiangguo City, our army lost 30,000 iron rope cavalry, today's battle, the remaining 50,000 iron rope cavalry were all lost, and now, our army has worked hard to train 80,000 iron rope cavalry, which is all over, at present, our army can be called the main force of the soldiers and horses, there are only 20,000 chariot troops left on the outskirts of Xiangguo City, this is the last main force of our army, there must be no more losses, our army and horses must be withdrawn to Jicheng as much as possible." Murong Ke said with a straight face.

Obviously, after a battle on the outskirts of Yecheng, Murong Ke had clearly realized that the soldiers and horses under his command were no longer the opponents of Xie Ai's army, and if he didn't evacuate, he would definitely suffer even greater losses.

"Fourth brother, our army swore to send troops from Jicheng, and the momentum along the way was like a bamboo, and the good news was frequent, but I didn't expect to plant a heel near Yecheng, and the second brother will be very disappointed when he knows." Murong Ba lowered his head and said listlessly.

Murong Ke said softly: "Victory or defeat is a common thing for soldiers, this battle is too light for our army, and also, there is no detection of the hidden soldiers and horses of the Xie Ai Legion, these two are the most fundamental reasons for the defeat of our army, which is naturally the greatest responsibility of me, after returning to Jicheng, I will ask the second brother for guilt." ”

"Fourth brother, the army is defeated, and I also have an unshirkable responsibility, and I am willing to bear the punishment with you." Murong Ba said very righteously.

The corners of Murong Ke's mouth smiled slightly, and he looked up in the direction of due south, at this time, there were still scattered stragglers, walking towards the location of the army's camp.

"General Qiyu, our army has completed the inventory of soldiers and horses, with a total of 41,000 troops, of which at least thirty percent are lightly wounded." At this moment, the generals under Murong Ke reported the casualties of the army to Murong Ke.

When Murong Ke heard this, he immediately frowned unconsciously, when he attacked in the direction of Yecheng, he had 100,000 troops under his command, and among them, there were 50,000 soldiers and horses, all of which were very elite iron chain cavalry, and now, all the 50,000 iron rope cavalry were lost, and the 50,000 cavalry also lost nearly 10,000 horses, and with the remaining 40,000 cavalry, it was completely unable to resist the main army of the Xie Ai Legion.
