At the end of November of the eighth year of the emperor's reign, the Great Wei Emperor Ran Min sent 80,000 iron cavalry, claiming to be 200,000 troops, to attack Yan from the east and west.

The Eastern Route Army, led by Li Xin and only 30,000 men, set out from western Liaoning to attack Changli County. The Wei army marched all the way, like a bamboo, they changed the style of attacking cities and conquering places in the past, and like the Hu people fighting grass valleys, they wantonly burned and looted in Liaodong, attracting Xianbei people to come out for a decisive battle.

Soon, Li Xin led his army to the Thorn City, which was less than eighty miles away from Dragon City.

The Western Route Army, led by Su Lin and with 50,000 iron cavalry, set out from Daijun and entered the Mobei grassland with only two days' dry food.

The Wei army swept all the way through the various tribes along the way, like thieves, and wherever they passed, there were no chickens and dogs.

At this time, Murong Jun, who had just been proclaimed emperor, couldn't bear it anymore and thought that there were not many Wei troops attacking, so he overrode public opinion and led the army out to fight the Wei army to the death.

The two armies fought a big battle at Hukou.

"Roar, roar, roar! ...... "The Wei army is full of cavalry, morale is high, fully armed, each of them is equipped with swords, horse guns, bows and crossbows and other standard weapons, bright armor, shouting majestic.

And Yan Jun on the opposite side was also shouting hoarsely, almost bursting his throat.

Compared with the Wei army, which was as morale as a rainbow and well-equipped, the Yan army was slightly inferior.

The strength of the Yan army is 50,000 people, but the infantry and cavalry armies account for half of each, and because the momentum of Yan country's expansion is too fast, relying on the original land of Liaodong, they actually ate Mobei that is ten times larger than themselves in one go, and they can't digest it in a short time, so they can only temporarily recruit some soldiers, issue weapons and then practice, and most of the real Rui soldiers are in Mobei.

From Li Xin's gaze, it can be seen that the Yan soldiers on the opposite side have a good momentum and a good formation, but they are wearing all kinds of armor and the weapons in their hands are all varied, which is quite simple compared to the Wei army.

Of course, Li Xin can't really underestimate these enemies.

The soldiers of the Yan army are almost all Hu people, they are strong, brave and good at fighting, even if the weapons in their hands are very simple, the armor is not even, but it is not a mistake at all when it comes to real fighting.

Suo Chao, the general beside him, also saw the clues: "Governor, in my opinion, the phalanx of the Yan army is neat, but their weapons are simple and their armor is poor, and they are only afraid of the Huns who fought with us in the past." ”

Li Xin said with a smile: "Now most of the elite of Yan Kingdom are in Mobei. Murong Jun is also a big man, he can obviously clear the wilderness, but he actually wants to rely on the strength of the crowd to fight with us, and he must not let Murong Jun go later! ”

Suo Chao asked for battle: "The governor of the capital, the last general is willing to lead five thousand elite cavalry to fight the forward!" ”

"Good!"

"The forward 5,000 people pressed up, and the 3,000 cavalry on the left and right wings swept the formation with a long snake formation, and the whole army then covered and killed!"

"No!"

As soon as the battle began, Suo Chao led 5,000 iron cavalry to rush down the mountain like a torrent of steel. The Yan army on the opposite side reacted quickly, and the shield array was withdrawn, revealing the 10,000 archers in the middle, and then 10,000 arrows were fired in unison, and the powerful arrows like locusts crossing the border shot over.

Braving the rain of arrows, the five thousand elite cavalry led by Suo Chao were not intimidated at all.

They were wearing heavy armor, and ordinary arrows could not penetrate at all, and only when they encountered the powerful arrows shot by those Yan soldiers with strong arm strength, they could barely penetrate and cause them a little damage.

Of course, some of the unlucky Wei soldiers were shot in the face or eyes, or even in the thighs, which is more difficult to say. Although it is not a fatal injury, such an injury can also greatly reduce their combat effectiveness.

And the Xianbei people's strong arrows shot on the war horses, and the war horses under the crotch of the Wei army's iron cavalry were also armed to the teeth, wearing thick armor, and those arrows could not do much damage to them.

"Heavy cavalry?"

Murong Jun was stunned: "When did the Wei State become so powerful, and there were so many heavy cavalry?" ”

But no matter how confused Murong Jun was, the Wei army's iron cavalry still quickly killed him.

On the vast snowfield, a little red blood gradually spread and gradually became larger.

The iron cavalry of the Wei army in fiery red armor galloped like a fire in the sky.

"Boom! ......" The sound of horses' hooves shook the earth.

The light cavalry of the Wei army on the left and right flanks were responsible for opening their bows and arrows, and shot and killed many soldiers in the front line of the Yan army's formation. One by one, they fell down with a wail and fell in a pool of blood.

"Cavalry attack!"

Since the arrow array did not work, Murong Jun simply sent the cavalry in the army to rush over.

But it still didn't stop the charge of the Wei army's heavy cavalry!

"Kill!" The iron cavalry of the Wei army were like tigers entering a flock of sheep, driving horses and fighting on the plains, wielding swords and slashing nearby enemies with impunity, their red eyes were like divine soldiers descending from the sky, and in an instant, the entire snowfield turned into a human purgatory full of violent and bloody gas!

The Xianbei Iron Cavalry, which Murong Jun was proud of, was simply vulnerable in front of the heavy cavalry of the Wei State.

The iron cavalry of the Wei army were dressed in iron bumps and were invulnerable, and no matter how much they swung the weapons in their hands, they could not do any effective damage to these heavy cavalry.

Murong Jun knew that the only weapon that could restrain this kind of heavy cavalry was a blunt weapon such as a hammer. But at such a time, where did he go to find so many hammers?

Looking at the unstoppable appearance of the Wei army, Murong Jun knew in his heart that the general trend had gone, so he ordered the whole army to change into a rear army and temporarily retreat. However, Li Xin anticipated the enemy's opportunity and guessed that the Yan army would inevitably be defeated, so he had already sent troops to outflank the rear of the Yan army, forcing them to be unable to move closer to Thorn City.

So Murong Jun had no choice but to lead the army to retreat to the Hukou area.

At this time, the snow field was covered with fog, and the vision was blurred, and it was impossible to see the direction at all.

Yan Jun took advantage of this opportunity to flee.

Li Xin was unwilling to let go of this great opportunity, so he ordered all parts of the troops to search and coordinate the battle, and be sure to capture Murong Jun alive.

After receiving the order, Ran Xi led two hundred horsemen as the vanguard and rode through the fog. was accidentally bumped into by him and ran into Murong Jun's Chinese army.

At this time, the two hundred iron horsemen led by Ran Xi were only more than a mile away from the Xianbei people, and the fog had gradually dissipated, and the appearance of people could gradually be seen. After sending messengers to contact the armies of the various departments, Ran Xi immediately made a decision and led his troops to cover the past.

There are still more than 10,000 people in the Chinese army of the Yan army, and the strength is fifty times that of the Wei army under Ran Xi, but Ran Xi is not afraid at all. The subordinates were worried that they would not be able to defeat the Xianbei people, which was too risky.

Ran Xi said: "I have heard an old saying, the brave who meet on a narrow road wins!" The Xianbei people have just experienced a big defeat, and their morale is sluggish, like rats crossing the street. And our army is like a wolf and a tiger, and under this foggy weather, suddenly rushing to kill, the Xianbei people have become frightened birds, they can't see our specific strength clearly, and when they see us, they will be terrified when they hear our shouts of killing! What is there to be afraid of? ”

So Ran Xi led his troops to rush over.

Suddenly, I heard the shouting of killing, and saw a large area of the Wei army's black pressure rushing over, and the Yan soldiers at the front were frightened, and fled without saying a word.

Yan Jun, who was following behind, couldn't see what was going on, and when he saw his comrades running, he also followed the soles of his feet to smear oil and slipped away.

"Kill!"

The Wei army was so fierce that it really frightened these Xianbei people, who were like lost dogs, and suffered merciless slaughter.

Murong Jun originally wanted to organize the army to continue fighting, but many people fled, and there were only a few hundred guards left by his side. Helpless, Murong Jun could only flee in embarrassment.

In this battle, Ran Xi won more with less, killed nearly 1,000 Xianbei people, captured 3,000 enemy soldiers, and almost captured Murong Junsheng!
