Chapter 356: Ran Jin's Death

Rushing to the place where the three forces were fighting, Ma Chuan had not yet spent ten days to arrive. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

However, the war has not really started yet, so he can only stabilize the old lady first, and then find a place to lurk.

Until the beginning of the war, the total number of troops invested by the two warring parties north of the Pangjiang River reached 400,000.

The combined forces of the Silk Kingdom and the Eastern Shu Dynasty accounted for 250,000 troops.

It seems that the country has invested all its troops, 150,000.

Anyway, after this battle, the losing side can no longer resist the opponent's offensive.

In particular, the alliance of the Silk State and the Eastern Shu Kingdom seems to have the advantage, but it cannot be defeated, once the alliance collapses, both countries will be destroyed by the Pangguo with the momentum of devastation.

Even if the Pang State is won, there will be a battle between the Silk Kingdom and the Eastern Shu Kingdom, which will ultimately determine the ownership of the entire Shu Kingdom.

Therefore, in order to end this war that lasted for decades as soon as possible, Ma Chuan decided to help the Pan State and try to let the Pang State defeat the Silk State and the Eastern Shu coalition army in one fell swoop, as long as this battle is successful, the Shu State will have no major wars.

The time for the real decisive battle was fast approaching, and this time the two sides each gathered almost all their forces to start a decisive battle north of the Panjiang River.

Before the Great War began, all sorts of assassinations, infiltration, and intrigues abounded.

When the decisive battle really begins, those things that are secretly played will have a miraculous effect, and even determine the final victory of the entire decisive battle.

To the north of the Pangjiang River is a plain, it stands to reason that the Silk Kingdom and Dongshu will not choose to fight a decisive battle here if they know that the Pangjiang State has 30,000 iron cavalry.

But in fact, the land of the Silk Kingdom and Dongshu chose the location of the decisive battle here.

As a passive defensive side, the Pangguo gave up other cities north of the Pangjiang River, and only defended three important cities that were horns and relied on each other.

As long as these three cities are held, the Pangguo army not only has no worries about the supply of grain and grass logistics, but also can attack and defend, and it is useless for the Pao State and the Dongshu coalition army to occupy other cities.

At the beginning of the war, in order to give full play to the advantage of his 30,000 iron cavalry, Ran Jin naturally took the initiative to send 30,000 iron cavalry to counterattack when the opponent attacked the city, preparing to use the strong impact of the iron cavalry to thwart the opponent's sharp spirit first.

It's just that as soon as the 30,000 iron cavalry went out of the city to carry out a counterattack, the siege forces of the Silk Kingdom and the Dongshu coalition army were all defended on the spot, and when the vanguard iron cavalry rushed to within twenty or thirty zhang.

Suddenly, the sound of the opponent's drums changed, and behind the siege soldiers, many soldiers armed with a kind of repeating crossbow arrows appeared.

Suddenly, the arrows were like flying locusts, constantly shooting directly at the onrushing cavalry.

It's fast, it's powerful.

Many horses and men will fall on their backs as long as they are shot by an arrow.

It didn't take long for the counterattacking iron cavalry of the Pangguo Kingdom to be strewn all over the field, and there was not a single horse, to the defense line of the siege forces of the Silk State and the Dongshu coalition army.

This kind of repeater arrow is really much faster than ordinary feather arrows, although the range is not too far, but it is extremely powerful.

It was originally an invincible iron horse, but in the face of this kind of thing, it was like sending it to death, and it was just constantly consumed.

Moreover, the arrows of the Silk Kingdom and Dongshu seem to be very sufficient, and they are completely open to ten thousand arrows.

In just a quarter of an hour, the 30,000 iron horsemen of the Pangguo lost three or four thousand people.

This is mainly the plain area, and the impact of 30,000 iron cavalry is too wide, which is why so many cavalry have been lost in a short period of time.

Ran Jin naturally guarded Nancheng personally, and seeing the huge losses out of the city, he could imagine the tragic situation of the other two cities.

Thirty thousand iron horsemen were of great importance to him, and indeed to the entire country.

In the previous battles, the Pangguo defeated countless enemies and finally became one of the three great powers, all of which were closely related to these iron horses.

Every horse spends a lot of resources, and it is limited to the fact that there are only so many horse breeding lands south of the Pangjiang River, and he can only raise 30,000 iron horsemen.

Every horse lost is not something that can be replenished in a short period of time.

Now that the losses are so heavy, how can Ran Jin not be heartbroken.

And this is not the most serious problem, the most serious problem is that the 30,000 iron horsemen of the Pangguo country, the myth of invincibility has been broken, resulting in a great loss of morale on their side.

At this critical juncture of the decisive battle, the damage to morale is a very serious matter, and it is even related to the ultimate success or failure.

After the Pang Kingdom hurriedly withdrew the iron cavalry with heavy losses, its morale was greatly reduced and it was in an extremely disadvantageous situation.

And the Silk Kingdom and Dongshu naturally seized the opportunity to continue the attack.

The one who attacked Nancheng was naturally the titular general Long Qian of the Silk Kingdom and Dongshu.

There were more than 150,000 troops in the Kingdom of Silk and Dongshu, all of which were invested in the attack on Nancheng.

In the face of a huge attack, Ran Jin could only defend passively after sending the Iron Cavalry to counterattack unsuccessfully.

But fortunately, the walls of Nancheng are tall and the defense is strong, and even if the enemy has twice as many people, it is not so easy to attack.

The two sides launched an offensive and defensive battle, and when attacking the city, it was difficult for the crossbow arrows to come in handy, and there were no feather arrows to use.

Ma Chuan was naturally hidden in Nancheng, and he vaguely felt that although the combined forces of the Silk Kingdom and Dongshu seemed to be very powerful, it was very likely to be a bluff, and there should be other means.

But Ma Chuan learned that Long Qian was not far from Nancheng, so he naturally would not let go of such an opportunity.

When the offensive and defensive sides entered the white-hot stage, and Ran Jin went to other city gates to supervise the battle, Ma Chuan took the opportunity to contact some of his cronies.

Mei He is one of Ma Chuan's loyal subordinates, and he happens to be defending at this city gate.

Although Ran Jin was faintly aware of Ma Chuan's fraudulent death, he claimed to the outside world that Ma Chuan died in battle and made a great contribution to the country.

Therefore, it is relatively easy for Ma Chuan to contact the old ministry now.

What's more, the reasons Ma Chuan said are also very convincing.

The big thing is that he cheated to death, still to help Pang Guo and Ran Jin.

captured Long Qian's mother as a hostage, firstly, to let the Pang Kingdom achieve the final victory in this decisive battle, and secondly, to be ashamed.

Many of the cavalry who followed Ma Chuan to Xiancheng defended here.

Ma Chuan was saddled with the monstrous infamy of slaughtering the city, and the same was true of the 10,000 iron horsemen who followed him, although Ran Jin did everything to them, but in the eyes of the civilians, they were out-and-out butchers.

Therefore, Ma Chuan easily contacted most of the old ministries and then acted according to the plan.

It didn't take long for the city tower of Nancheng to appear with several soldiers of the Panguo country, escorting an old lady in fancy clothes.

A few days before that, Ma Chuan revealed the news that Long Qian's mother had fallen into Ran Jin's hands to Long Qian.

Long Qian will naturally go to verify, with the exact news of his mother's disappearance, and seeing the current scene again, he will definitely come in person.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for the attack to be quite smooth, and the combined forces of the Silk Kingdom and the Eastern Shu Army, Mingjin, withdrew their troops.

Dressed in blue armor and soft armor, wearing a black cloak, Long Qian, holding a bright silver wolf's head hammer, rode a tall brown horse, and slowly walked towards the city gate with tears in his eyes.

Behind him to the left and right were countless guards, holding huge black iron shields.

In the end, Long Qian stopped forty or fifty feet away from the city tower, and said loudly: "Ran Jin, why did you do such a despicable thing as coercing your mother!"

"King Ran is not here, all of this is done by me. Ma Chuan, with white hair and a shawl, stood on the city tower.

"Ma Chuan, you really cheated to death!" Long Qian said with a look of surprise on his face.

"It's not because of your good intentions. Ma Chuan said coldly.

"You disappeared during this time just to sneak into my house and capture my mother, and use it to blackmail me in front of the two armies. It turned out that the dignified General Ma was nothing more than that, and his actions were so despicable. Long Qianyi said righteously.

"I'm despicable, but it's better than you, don't you feel guilty that tens of thousands of civilians in Xiancheng were slaughtered by you? Ma Chuan said angrily.

"I am also acting on orders, this strategy was proposed by the Red Lian Fairy, and King Jin finally adopted it. When Long Qian said this, there was indeed a look of guilt in his eyes.

"Then you are a sword that does not distinguish between good and evil, where did you come from, mother, you are a beast. Ma Chuan shouted angrily.

"King Jin has the grace of knowing me, and I am willing to go to the soup for him, and there is no point in right or wrong. You and I are both martial artists, but you dare to accept my challenge, and I will let my mother go if I win. The guilt in Long Qian's eyes disappeared, and he said with a full breath.

"I accept your challenge, but you can't win. After Ma Chuan finished speaking, he left the city directly.

The next moment, the city gate suddenly opened, and thousands of horsemen rushed out, heading straight for the location where Long Qian was.

The castle tower also began to attack, and countless feathered arrows were fired in volleys, causing a great confusion among the dragon dive guards who were ready to use crossbow arrows, and there was no time to stop the extremely swift cavalry.

Ma Chuan didn't wear armor at all, and rushed to the front, holding a very thick bronze sword in his hand.

In the face of such an impact, Long Qian naturally did not retreat, and directly carried the bright silver wolf head hammer to meet Ma Chuan.

As a result, when he was about to fight Ma Chuan, he found that the soldiers of the Panguo Kingdom who were holding his mother suddenly raised their knives and slashed towards their mothers.

Long Qian watched his mother's head fly down the tower, and the headless corpse was bleeding three feet high, and finally fell on the tower.

"Mother!" Long Qian's head appeared blank for a short time, and tears blurred his eyes instantly, he never expected that Ma Chuan would be so despicable that he would directly kill his mother.

At the moment when Long was in a state of confusion, Ma Chuan rode a fast horse and rushed in front of him, directly slashing his neck with a bronze sword from left to right.

But the dragon sneaked through a hundred battles and experienced countless lives and deaths, even if his mind was in turmoil, his instinctive reaction still made him use the bright silver wolf head hammer next to his neck, which was able to block Ma Chuan's fatal blow.

Long Qian is young and strong, he is also a general, and his skills are a grade higher than that of Ma Chuan, who is weak.

This time, Ma Chuan came up with a way to disturb Long Qian's mind and then slash Long Qian under the horse.

But he never expected that at the last moment, Long Qian's reaction exceeded his expectations and blocked his fatal blow.

Ma Chuan, who is well versed in stimulating his potential, certainly knows that for a master like Long Qian, the method of killing the opponent's closest relatives to disturb his mind can only have a very short-term effect.

After missing a blow, basically all the vassal states in Long Qian's heart will explode, turning grief and anger into strength, and the strength will immediately skyrocket by three or four times, or even ten times, and then Ma Chuan will only be killed.

Ma Chuan figured out this matter the moment the bronze sword was bounced off by the bright silver wolf's head hammer, and hurriedly used his arm to force the last sword of the galloping nine swords, galloping vertically and horizontally.

When the two were about to pass by, they slashed through again.

This time, the bright silver wolf's head hammer was directly cut into two sections, and Long Qian's neck was cut into a long hole, and blood kept pouring out.

The body lunged forward with the mount, eventually falling.

Although Ma Chuan's sword slashed Long Qian along with the weapon, it was also beyond the limit of his body's endurance, and the bones of his right arm were basically shattered, and if he didn't recover his cultivation, he would become a one-armed man at all.

After killing Long Qian with a sword, Ma Chuan did not stop and continued to pursue the already dispersed Bo Kingdom and Dongshu coalition forces.

The cavalry led by Ma Chuan also sprinted quickly, disrupting all the guards of Long Qian.

And Mei He directly beheaded Long Qian, and asked his subordinates to shout that Long Qian, the general of the Silk Kingdom and Dongshu, had been killed in order to disturb the enemy's military heart.

Ma Chuan rushed all the way to kill, and soon left the scope of the decisive battle and left alone.

After Ran Jin in Nancheng learned that Long Qian was killed and that Ma Chuan, who had cheated to death, he didn't have time to study it in detail, so he directly seized the fighter and took the initiative to attack the base camp of the Silk Kingdom and the Dongshu coalition army outside Nancheng.

Suddenly, the 150,000 Silk Kingdom and the Dongshu coalition army were killed and abandoned their armor, and fled in defeat.

Just when Ran Jin was about to take advantage of the victory to pursue, he got a bad news.

The other two cities, under the planning of the other party's most powerful strategist Chilian Fairy, were all breached.

Huangshi Zhenren was captured alive on the spot, then beheaded, and reportedly hung on the head of the city.

Ran Jin and his advisers instantly understood that the Silk Kingdom and the Eastern Shu alliance army sent Long Qian to attack Nancheng, which was just a bluff.

The real power is that the other party secretly took the other two cities and killed Huangshi Zhenren to provoke Ran Jin.

Ran Jin understood, but in a fit of rage, he beheaded the three strategists who were desperately admonishing him, and shouted angrily: "If you don't take revenge, you will be a son of man in vain!"

Ran Jin knew that it was the other party's plan, but he still gathered all the troops in Nancheng and rushed towards the city with the head of a real person in Huangshi.

In order to show his determination, he ordered all the sailors to return to the south bank of the Panjiang River halfway, cutting off his own retreat.

A few months later, in a small remote village, Ma Chuan listened to the ragged and bloodied Mei He, after telling the news of Ran Jin's death in battle, he sighed secretly and did not speak for a long time.

In order to avenge the real people of Huangshi, Ran Jin resolutely stayed on the north bank of the Pangjiang River and fought against the combined forces of the Silk Kingdom and Dongshu.

When he arrived at the city with the head of a real person in Huangshi, he was naturally ambushed and was fired by the other party with a salvo of crossbow arrows.

The Pangguo army, which was already greatly damaged, suffered more casualties and heavy casualties.

Without the advice of Huangshi Zhenren, Ran Jin couldn't listen to the advice of any strategists, all of them acted recklessly, and after several months, he was ambushed by the Bo State and the Dongshu coalition army, and finally died in battle.

"Qian'er, who is here?" In the simple inner room, an old voice came, but it was Long Qian's mother.
