Subsequently, Ran Min convened the generals in the big tent of the Chinese army, and put a big sand table in the center of the big tent.

Ran Min made a simple sand table, which was improvised on the field with mud and sand and war games.

The preparation of this sand table on the map is to determine the horizontal scale and vertical scale of the sand table (usually the horizontal scale is smaller than the vertical scale), calculate the size of the sand table, pile up the landform, set up the features and military situation.

In fact, the sand table was not invented by Ran Min himself.

It is said that when Qin was deploying to destroy the Six Kingdoms, Qin Shi Huang personally studied the geographical situation of each country, and with the assistance of Li Si, sent the general Wang Jian to carry out a unified war.

Later, when Qin Shi Huang was building the mausoleum, he built a large topographic model in his own mausoleum. In addition to mountains, hills, and castles, the model also uses mercury to simulate rivers and seas, and uses mechanical devices to circulate mercury.

When Emperor Guangwu conquered Tianshui and Wudu, the general Ma Yuan "gathered rice for the valley and pointed to the situation", so that Emperor Guangwu suddenly had the feeling of "being captured in my eyes", which was the earliest sand table operation.

Now Ran Min and the others are watching from the edge of this sand table, and the situation between the Wei army and the Xianbei people can be seen clearly.

"Look, everybody." Ran Min pointed to the location of Jinyang City and said, "Jinyang City is now besieged by the Xianbei people. The Xianbei people have a lot of troops, and they are all horses, and the battlefield is placed on the plain outside Jinyang City, no matter how brave our soldiers are, and there are defenders in the city to cooperate, I am afraid that it is difficult to have a chance of winning. ”

"This is where we are now, Fenshui. Fenshui is a hundred miles away from Jinyang City, and if the cavalry marches in a hurry, it will only be able to reach Jinyang City in half a day! ”

"But the widow heard that the Xianbei people were only besieging Jinyang City but not attacking, presumably because they wanted to rely on the favorable terrain to launch a decisive battle against our Wei army. But the widow will not let Murong Ke get his wish. ”

"I wonder what the king is going to do?"

Ran Min said solemnly: "According to the information obtained by the widows, although Murong Xianbei and Tuoba Xianbei have joined forces to invade our Wei State this time, and they are elite, they are not an iron piece inside, they are inseparable. ”

"This can be seen from the fact that they jointly besieged Jinyang City, but they set up two camps in the east and one in the west."

Hearing this, General Su Hai suddenly realized: "Does the king want to take advantage of his unpreparedness and defeat one of the Xianbei people first?" ”

"Not bad."

"So what are we going to do about it?"

"Now the coalition forces of Murong Xianbei and Tuoba Xianbei have been stationed separately. Murong Xianbei is stationed in the west of Jinyang, Tuoba Xianbei is stationed in the east of Jinyang, and in the two Xianbei, Murong Xianbei's strength is stronger, and Tuoba Xianbei is weaker. Therefore, the widow chose to defeat Tuoba Xianbei first, and then concentrate his forces to start a decisive battle with Murong Xianbei! ”

"Dong Run, Ma Gu listen to the order!"

"The last general!"

"The two of you led 6,000 elite cavalry, robbed the camp when they were ugly, and unexpectedly entered the battle camp of Tuoba Xianbei, and then led the troops to Huangnigang further east!"

"Su Lin, Zhou Hong listen to the order!"

"The last general!"

"The two of you each led 5,000 foot soldiers, ambushed on both sides of the Huangnigang Mountain Road, and after the Xianbei people entered the ambush circle, they immediately launched an attack!"

"Ran Ke, Wei Liao listen to orders!"

"The last general!"

Ran Ke is Ran Min's cousin, and Wei Liao is the son of Wei Zheng. Among them, there is no lack of Ran Min's weight, but more is their own combat exploits and abilities.

Ran Min said in a deep voice: "The two of you led 4,000 people to block the front of the Huangnigang Mountain Road, and after the Xianbei people entered the mountain road, the soldiers on both sides launched an attack, and you then attacked!" ”

"The remaining soldiers and horses, follow the Xianbei people who are chasing with the widows, and when the Xianbei people are ambushed, they will be killed, and they must annihilate the enemy army in one fell swoop!"

The crowd sang loudly.

When it was ugly, the iron cavalry led by Dong Run and Ma Gu had their horses wrapped around their feet, and their mouths were wrapped in sackcloth to prevent them from making big movements. Subsequently, Dong Runxian sent more than a dozen soldiers who were agile and proficient in the way of assassins, and quietly infiltrated the periphery of the Dai army's camp.

The soldiers, all dressed in night suits, crouched behind the bushes, sticking out their heads to monitor the environment and garrison of the camp of the Dai army.

I have to say that the "bad habits" of the Xianbei people are still very serious, they do not have the habit of the Han army, that is, every place they go, they will build the camp very strong, although it is not impregnable, easy to defend and difficult to attack, but it is not so easy for the enemy to enter!

But looking at the situation in the Dai army camp, this is really too advantageous for the Wei army who wants to attack at night!

The dozen or so soldiers in charge of the assassination, taking advantage of the hazy night, threw out their flying claws, hooked them to the arrow tower, and then slowly climbed up, and finally covered the mouths of the few dai soldiers who were dozing, wiped their necks and killed them.

After killing the enemy on the arrow tower in charge of the lookout, these Wei soldiers ran down to kill several enemies guarding the gate of the camp one by one, and then opened the gate of the camp to welcome the entry of the Wei army's iron cavalry!

"Kill!"

The iron cavalry of the Wei army poured out like a flood that had opened the floodgates, and it was out of control.

With the shouting of killing that rose to the sky, there were also swords and sword shadows, and the blood was filled, and many Xianbei people who were still asleep were killed before they could react.

"Huh!" The Xianbei man, who had just picked up the ring-headed iron knife and had not yet put on his leather armor, was suddenly rushed by the Wei army cavalry, wielding a spear through his chest, and suddenly a bloody arrow flew out, and the Xianbei man fell straight into a pool of blood.

The tents of the Xianbei people were overturned, cut down, and even toppled torches were lit and gradually burned.

"Boom! ...... "Iron horses trample on the plains, destroy the heavens and the earth!"

There were no obstacles in the camp of the Dai army, and the iron cavalry of the Wei army could gallop at will, as if in a no-man's land. They kill people when they see them, and they cut them down when they see them, and they are happy to take revenge.

At this time, Dugu Xin, the chief general of the Dai Army, also suddenly woke up, during the campaign, he was undressed, especially when he heard that the main force of the Wei army was coming, or after Ran Min personally conquered, Dugu Xin did not dare to slack off in the slightest.

Dugu Xin immediately picked up the war knife on the weapon rack, and before he figured out how many men and horses the Wei army came, Dugu Xin did not dare to rashly organize a counterattack, so he could only order the chiefs of each department to restrain their troops and resist the iron cavalry of the Wei army.

Dong Run and Ma Gu led six thousand iron cavalry to rush back and forth to kill a few times, and then they felt that it was almost enough, so they turned around and fled to the east.

But how could Dugu Xin, who had already figured out the situation, let these enemies slip away?

With only 6,000 people, they dared to raid the camp of 50,000 or 60,000 troops and rob the camp in the middle of the night.

Dugu Xin was furious, no matter how old and steady he was, he couldn't help but be angry at this moment. In his opinion, this was a provocation by the Wei army in Jinyang City against him.

The Wei army in Tongguan will not come so quickly, and the only possibility is that the Wei army in Jinyang City will come to rob the camp!

Dugu Xin immediately led the army to pursue all the way, and even the direction of the Wei army's escape was the dense forest in the east, not Jinyang City in the west.
