In April, the spring breeze is still chilly.

If you wear it thinly, it will still make people shiver when rolled up on your body. At night, the wind raged even more, and from time to time a puff of gravel slapped on the tent to make the sound of popping beans.

After listening to Wu Yong's bitter advice, Ran Min frowned, stroked the thick beard with one hand, sat behind the table like a sculpture and fell into contemplation, and only after a long time did he spit out a sentence: "Don't fall, don't go anywhere, only die!" ”

"Heavenly King, those who know the times are Junjie, and they don't have to worry about the green mountains without firewood!" Wu Yong continued to admonish.

Han Baohu also gave up his hand to advise: "Heavenly King, what Mr. Wu said is reasonable, Hu people are coming to commit crimes, Cao Cao is eyeing the tiger, Li Tang Taishan is overpowering, the three counties of Youzhou can't hold it, let's wait any longer and we will die in vain." I have had a relationship with Luoyang's great Sima Yang Jian, if the king of heaven goes to vote, he will be reused! ”

Ran Min snorted coldly: "Since you and Yang Jian are old friends, then you can go to the Western Han Dynasty with Wu Yong and Song Jiang." I, Ran Min, swear to defend the three counties of Youzhou to the death, every inch of mountains and rivers and every inch of blood, if I Ran Min retreats, I don't know how many people will die under the iron horses of the Hu people! ”

"Report!"

While the handsome tent was being discussed, the fast horse from Zhuo County arrived, rolled off the horse and went straight into the handsome tent: "Report to the king, Song Jiang Taishou coerced the people of Zhuo County to go to Dai County, and Zhuo County has been burned to a piece of rubble. ”

Zhuo County, the seat of Fanyang County, is Ran Min's old nest, and all the materials and equipment, grain, grass and military salaries accumulated over the years have been hoarded in Zhuo County, and I heard that it was taken away by Song Jiang and burned Zhuo County to rubble, so I couldn't help but be shocked: "What? Song Jiang burned Zhuo County? Why? ”

"I heard that Cao Cao's army is pressing!" The scout replied with his head bowed.

Ran Min asked: "How many miles away from Zhuo County?" ”

"It is reported that Cao Jun has arrived in Tang County and Lunu." Seeing that Ran Min's face was not good. His eyes were spewing fire, and the scout was a little afraid.

"Smack". Ran Min's anger erupted, and he slammed down with a heavy punch. Unexpectedly, the table case was shattered, "Luo County and Lu Nu are still at least 300 miles away from Zhuo County, why don't you flee without a fight?" Song Jiang Pifu is forcing me to surrender! ”

Ran Min was furious, drew his sword in his hand and angrily reprimanded Wu Yong: "You people who are greedy for life and afraid of death, I, Ran Min, did not die in the hands of Hu Gou, but I was miserable by you and Song Jiang, if I don't kill you two, it will be difficult to eliminate the hatred in my heart!" ”

Wu Yong was shocked and knelt on the ground and begged for mercy: "The king of heaven is angry, and my brother Gongming and I are also thinking about the king of heaven." Embattled, it is a dead end to continue to support it, how can you force tens of thousands of brothers to follow you to die in vain? ”

Listening to Wu Yong's words, Ran Min suddenly sighed, put away his sword and returned it to its sheath: "Also, ants are still greedy for life, how can I, Ran Min, force the soldiers to accompany me to death?" Let's go, go to your Western Han Dynasty with your Gongming brother! ”

After a pause, he said to Han Baohu with a gloomy expression: "Zhuo County has been lost." Without food and grass, it is inevitable to lose the battle again. Pass on my order, the officers and men of the three armies must leave and stay, and listen to the respect; If you want to go, you can leave tonight. If you want to stay, follow me Ran Min to kill Hu Gou, even if you want to die, you have to kill one enough! ”

"Woo ......"

Suddenly a sharp horn sounded in the howling night wind. Drifting from the north, it seems to be approaching.

Ran Min's complexion changed. Hurriedly leaned down and pressed his ears to the ground to listen, and could vaguely hear the rumbling of horses' hooves coming from the northwest. The tremor was felt more and more intensely.

"The enemy is coming, where are our scouts?" Ran Min jumped up from the ground and ordered his chief guard to go out to inquire about the situation.

After a while, the chief of the guard reported: "Nine times out of ten, our scouts have fled, the army is panicked, the general trend has gone, please make a decision quickly!" ”

Ran Min drew his sword in his hand and said loudly: "Wu Yong and Han Baohu listen to the order, no matter whether it is a battle or a vote tomorrow, tonight I Ran Min will break the queen for you." Pass the order to go down, abandon the camp and retreat to Dai County! ”

At that moment, Ran Min was holding a double-edged spear, and his waist hook halberd turned over on his horse, and Guan Hai and Pei Yuanshao led 10,000 of the most elite soldiers to line up in the palace, and Han Baohu and Wu Yong organized the troops to retreat south in a panic, aiming at Dai County.

The rumbling of horses' hooves drew nearer, and the whimpering horns grew clearer.

The Xianbei Iron Cavalry, who had not yet participated in the war, rushed from Yuyang, and under the leadership of Murong Ke, they went out day and night, and spent two nights rushing five hundred miles, quietly approaching Ran Min's camp, intending to catch Ran Min's army by surprise, and they also got their wish, until they approached Ran Min's camp for seven or eight miles.

The torches scattered all over the mountains were like stars in the sky, and the dust trampled by the earth-shaking horses' hooves flew up, making the dark night filled with a layer of yellow mist.

In the midst of the chaos, Murong Ke galloped on his horse and shouted loudly: "The soldiers are going all out, this battle must kill Ran Min, use Ran Min's head to pay tribute to the banner of Xianbei, and let the princes of the Central Plains see that our powerful Xianbei is rising!" ”

"Kill Ran Min!"

Murong Han, who was nearly nine feet tall, carried an eighty-pound mountain axe and a gray war horse in his hip, leading the 30,000 Xianbei iron horsemen to gallop first. To his right and left were the two Xianbei chieftains, Kebineng and Budugen.

"Extinguish the torches and line up!"

In the dark night, Ran Min immediately crossed his spear and ordered the soldiers behind him to line up in a rectangular phalanx, all bent their bows and arrows, and waited for orders. And at the front of the line raised a repulsive rifle.

The sound of horses' hooves rumbled, and the Xianbei iron cavalry gradually approached, and Ran Minjun hid a lot in the dark night after extinguishing the torches, like a beast lurking in the dark.

"Shoot the arrows!"

Seeing that the Xianbei Iron Cavalry was getting closer and closer, Ran Min made a spear move and ordered loudly.

With an order, Ran Minjun fired ten thousand arrows in unison, shooting a rain of arrows from his back.

The raindrop-like rain of arrows poured down from the sky, fell into the tide-like Xianbei iron horse, and landed on the armor to make a "clanging" sound, like a large bead and a small bead falling on a jade plate. It's a pity that the lethality of the upward shot to the cavalry is not great, and the main purpose is to slow down the speed of the cavalry's charge, so the casualties of the Xianbei cavalry are not large.

The Xianbei Iron Cavalry continued to charge, but paid a small price for casualties when they encountered the repulsion of the horse pistol. Many of the Xianbei knights, who had rushed too violently, did not have time to pick up the repulsion rifles, but ran straight into them, and were drenched in blood by the spurs of the men, and fell to the ground, and then were followed by the tide and trampled into powder.

"Attack separately, Kobi can be on the left flank, and Budugen is on the right flank!" Murong Han, who served as the vanguard, took the lead, brandishing a mountain-opening axe and giving orders loudly.

Kebineng and Budugen got the order, each whistled, and led the five thousand iron cavalry to quickly disperse to both sides, intending to outflank Ran Min's retreat and surround Ran Min's army in the center.

"Guan Hai led 3,000 cavalry to meet the left wing of Xianbei, and Pei Yuanshao led 3,000 cavalry to meet the right wing of Xianbei!" Ran Min immediately crossed his guns in the Chinese army and commanded calmly.

Although Ran Min is located outside the Saiwai, due to his strong personality, his relationship with the Xiongnu, Xianbei, Wuhuan and other ethnic groups has always been incompatible, so he has not been able to raise enough horses. And even if Hu Ren was willing to sell him horses, Ran Min couldn't exchange money and grain, so the cavalry under his command never exceeded more than 10,000 people. In addition to allocating a part to Song Jiang and Zhang Xiu, there are only about 6,000 cavalry that can be put into battle at this moment.

After receiving Ran Min's order, Guan Hai and Pei Yuanshao each led 3,000 cavalry to meet the two wings of Xianbei.

In the chaos of the army, Guan Hai is meeting the root of the step, the two horses intersect, there are more than ten rounds of battle, Guan Hai sells a pass and cuts the root of the step under the horse. And Pei Yuanshao on the right flank bumped into Kebineng, fought for seven or eight rounds, and was hit in the head by Kebineng with a heavy hammer, and his brain burst when he landed, and he fell to his death.

Murong Han saw that Bu Dugen was beheaded under the horse, so he rode his horse and led hundreds of horses to attack Guan Hai, "Ignorant Han dog, death is on the verge of death, and you dare to be rampant, can you know the Xianbei warrior Murong Han?" ”

"Hu Gou, I don't care who you are, come to Guan Ye's knife to die!" Guan Hai roared angrily, raised his knife and went straight to Murong Han.

The two horses intersected, and there were six or seven rounds of fighting, Murong Han split Huashan with an axe, and split Guan Hai under the horse, and the Xianbei iron horse behind him galloped past, trampling Guan Hai in the chaos of the army.

"Hu Gou, I dare to be rampant in the territory of my Han people, I, Ran Min, will not kill you today, and I will not be a man!" Seeing Guan Hai die in the chaos, Ran Min rushed to the crown in anger, rode forward, and brandished a double-edged spear to take Murong Han directly.

At the same time, Liu Wei, who was far away in Jiangling, received a prompt from the system: "Ding Dong...... The system detected the outbreak of Ran Min's second attribute 'Qiu Hu', Qiu Hu - +5 force when fighting with foreign generals or bloody battles with large armies."

"Ding-dong...... Ran Min's special attribute 'Heroic Soul' broke out, with force +3, base force value 104, double-edged spear +1, and the current force soared to 113! ”

Seeing Ran Min coming, Murong Han was overjoyed, brandishing a big axe and roaring: "Ran Min Pifu, the time of death has come, and today next year will be your sacrifice day!" ”

Before the words fell, the two horses intersected, Ran Min shouted violently, like a thunderbolt, the double-edged spear stabbed out like lightning, Murong Han couldn't dodge the throat, and was picked off the horse by Ran Min with a shot, and then made up for it, and was killed on the spot.

"Ding-dong...... The system detected that Murong Han was killed, and Murong Han was 91 commanders, 98 in force, 78 in intelligence, and 65 in politics.

"The system detected Murong Ke's attributes, Murong Ke - 98 in command, 88 in force, 94 in intelligence, and 90 in politics."

"The system detected Murong Trai's attributes, Murong Trai - 96 commanders, 94 military forces, 89 intelligence, and 85 politics."

Murong Ke, who was supervising the battle in the back, heard that Murong Han had died in battle, his face changed slightly, and he hurriedly ordered Murong Chui to lead a chain of horses to fight: "Murong Chui listened to the order, led the chain of horses to besiege Ran Min, and swore to take Ran Min's head today!" ”

"Serial Horse Battle!"

Murong Chui roared, and with a move of the horse lance in his hand, he led three thousand heavy armor chain horses to leap out of the formation, and rushed straight to the direction where Ran Min was.

Ran Min fought to the death in the chaos of the army, and suddenly heard a scout urgent report: "The king of heaven is not good, the Hun forward troops have been killed, Jebetuo led 20,000 Hun cavalry to cut off our army, Han Baohu and Wu Yong have led their troops to the south, and our army has fallen into a heavy siege!"
