Chapter 622: The main force of the Yan army is preparing to move south
Under Ran Min's order, a group of soldiers quickly rushed to Liu Xian's dormitory, and rushed in at the risk of being engulfed in flames.
At this moment, a huge flame had ignited inside Liu Xian's dormitory, and through the huge firelight, the soldiers who rushed into the dormitory could clearly see Liu Xian's hideous face.
The fire grew bigger and bigger, and soon, a huge beam spitting flames fell from the top of the dormitory and blocked the beggar soldiers who rushed into the dormitory.
The soldiers who were roasted by the scorching flames were out of breath, and in order to save their lives, the beggar guards quickly escaped and ran towards Ran Min.
"Liu Xian is not in it." Seeing the soldiers under his command rushing out, Ran Min hurriedly asked.
"Your Majesty, Liu Xian is indeed inside, but the fire is too big, and we can't capture it." A beggar guard soldier whispered.
"Your Majesty, the fire is so big, Liu Xian won't live long." Another general said.
Ran Min nodded and looked at the violently burning dormitory, with a hint of anger in his eyes.
"Thorn slave child, listen up, your fate will not be better than mine, hahaha!" Suddenly, in the violently burning dormitory, Liu Xian's hoarse roar was heard.
"Liu Xian!" When Ran Min heard this, his heart was furious, and he stared at the burning Liu Xian's bedroom in front of him.
Then, Liu Xian yelled a few more words, but his voice became quieter and quieter, obviously, he had lost his strength and would die soon.
The fire continued to burn for a while, burning Liu Xian's dormitory to ruins, and Liu Xian's body naturally turned into ashes.
Seeing that Liu Xian was dead, Ran Min ordered his subordinates to beg for the rest of the guards. Take over the defense of Xiangguo City in an all-round way, and reorganize all the surrendered Liu Xian's troops so that these horses can be used for their own use.
For the soldiers who did not obey them, they carried out a comprehensive strangulation to ensure that the city of Xiangguo was restored to the fullest.
Ran Min eliminated Liu Xian's forces, and in the vast area of Hebei, all the men and horses who could fight against it had been defeated, and nominally, Ran Min's Great Wei State had unified the Hebei region and obtained the anointed land of the original Zhao State.
But. After years of war. The Hebei region, which used to be economically rich and populous, has undergone tremendous changes, and the common people are trying to escape the war. There have been a large number of flights. Young and middle-aged people joined the army to fight. There have also been many war deaths, and the population has been greatly reduced.
And the continuous war has made it impossible for the common people to grow food with peace of mind, and the skilled personnel of the merchants and handicraft workshops. A large number of people also left the Hebei area and went to the area of safety, which directly led to the deterioration of the economic situation in the Hebei area, and even the most basic food for food was extremely insufficient, and many people died of hunger.
Such a relatively wealthy land has become barren land because of frequent wars, but the richness of the rivers and soil here will not change, as long as the safety of the country is improved, and the war is no longer suffered, in a few years, the economic shape of Hebei will improve significantly, and the population will gradually rise, and at that time, Hebei will still be a land of fish and rice.
Ran Min's next plan is to make every effort to develop the economy of Hebei, and when the national strength is restored, he will recruit troops to sweep the world, so as to realize his grand wish to restore the orthodoxy of China.
However, although Ran Min's idea was good, he didn't have this opportunity, at this moment, in the palace of King Yan in Jicheng, King Murong Jun of Yan had already made up his mind to move south, and the 200,000 elite army had also been assembled.
Murong Jun is still waiting, he has to wait until Murong Ke has trained five thousand iron rope cavalry before he can wave his army south, in order to capture and kill Ran Min, the five thousand men and horses trained by Murong Ke are the most elite dragon city elite cavalry in the Great Yan Kingdom, and they are the five battalions of dragons, tigers, bears, wolves, eagles and other five battalions of the eight thousand dragon city elite cavalry, this is most of the elite men and horses in the Yan Kingdom, for this reason, Murong Ke did not dare to have the slightest slackness, and came to the scene every day to train these most elite soldiers with his fifth brother Murong Ba, so that these most elite men and horses, Quickly master the use of this new way of warfare.
In order to deal with different battlefield shapes, the iron rope cavalry is not all twenty horses together, at most there are a group of thirty horses, of course, there are many groups of ten horses, the least three horses, five horses are a lot, these different sizes of iron chain cavalry, cooperate with each other, complement each other, can effectively deal with a variety of emergencies on the battlefield.
After months of hard training, the five thousand dragon city elite cavalry has fully adapted to the new tactics and formed a strong combat force, these elite soldiers, each equipped with spears, hard bows and fifty sharp arrows, can be described as melee combat, can also shoot from a distance, is a formidable force.
After the training of the iron rope cavalry was completed, Murong Ke and Murong Ba went to the palace as soon as possible to report the good news to Murong Jun.
At this moment, in the palace of Murong Jun, the king of Yan, Murong Jun is discussing with his subordinates the specific matters of waving his army to the south, because Ran Min has eliminated Liu Xian and occupied Xiangguo, in a large area of Hebei, there is no strength to stop Ran Min, and the Great Wei State has unified a large area of Hebei, and this situation, for Murong Jun, who has just occupied Youzhou, is not a good thing, Ran Min's unification of Hebei makes him like a thorn in the back, and deeply feels the threat from Wei.
"Your Majesty, Ran Min has unified Hebei, and the next step will definitely be to attack Youzhou, and my Great Yan State should take the lead and immediately move south, taking advantage of the fact that Wei State is not completely stable, completely defeat it, and occupy the land of Hebei, in preparation for crossing the river to attack the Central Plains in the future." General Murong commented on Zhengse and said.
"Your Majesty, the 200,000 elites of my Great Yan Kingdom are ready, and Ran Min's subordinates are already exhausted, and they can't even fill their stomachs, as long as my Great Yan Kingdom moves south, I will definitely be able to capture Ran Min and capture the land of Hebei." General Mu Yugen said loudly.
When Murong Jun heard this, he nodded, and said with a straight face: "You are right, Ran Min has already defeated Liu Xian, if he is allowed to develop strength, the consequences will be unimaginable, we can't wait any longer, we must send troops immediately." ”
"Second brother, don't forget to let your brother be a pioneer." At this moment, Murong Ba walked into the main hall and asked for his life.
Murong Jun looked sideways, Murong Ba was happily walking in, and behind him, it was Murong Ke.
"How is it, fourth brother, fifth brother, how is the training of the iron rope cavalry, can you go to battle?" Murong Jun looked at Murong Ke and Murong Ba and asked happily.
In fact, from the expressions of Murong Ba and Murong Ke, Murong Jun could already guess that they must have trained the five thousand Dragon City elite horses, besides, a few months have passed, and the training should be completed.
"Second brother, the five thousand Dragon City elite cavalry has been trained, and they can be put into battle at any time." Murong Ke clenched his fists and said.
"Okay, great, it's imminent for our army to move south, and we just need these five thousand iron rope cavalry to deal with Ran Min? Ha ha! Murong Jun said excitedly.
"Imminent?" Murong Ke was puzzled.
Murong Jun nodded, and said with a straight face: "Fourth brother, these days, you have been training soldiers and horses in the suburbs, you may not know that Ran Min has eliminated Liu Xian and occupied Xiangguo, and the entire Hebei region has been owned by Ran Min, and once Ran Min has a firm foothold in Hebei, it will be very difficult for me Dayan to enter the Central Plains, and even Youzhou, which has just been conquered, may not be able to keep it!" And once Youzhou can't be saved, my Murong family will return to the bitter cold land of Liaodong. ”
When Murong Ke heard this, he nodded, hugged his fists and said: "Second brother is right, at this moment, my Great Yan Kingdom must immediately send troops south, and Ran Min must not be allowed to have a chance to breathe, and his younger brother is willing to lead the troops first." After speaking, he asked Murong Jun for his life.
Murong Jun nodded slightly, agreed, looked at Murong Ke, and asked softly: "Fourth brother, you are well-informed, in your opinion, my Da Yan will definitely be able to defeat Ran Min when he goes south?" ”
Seeing that Murong Jun seemed to be a little worried, Murong Ke hugged his fists and said, "Second brother, don't worry, my Great Yan Kingdom will definitely win, and Ran Min will definitely lose." ”
"Oh, why are you so confident?" Murong Jun looked at Murong Ke and hurriedly asked.
Murong Ke stretched out five fingers and said, "Second brother, my Great Yan Kingdom has five victories, and Ran Min has five defeats, so my Great Yan Kingdom will definitely be able to defeat Ran Min." ”
"No wins, five defeats, you talk about it." Murong Jun asked.
Murong Ke looked at the generals in the main hall, and said with a straight face: "First, my Great Yan Kingdom has been cultivating for many years, and his spirit is flourishing, but Ran Min has been fighting for many years, and the veterans of the division are tired, and this one victory and one defeat are also." Second, there are more than 200,000 elite soldiers in my Dayan Kingdom, and there are no more than 10,000 elite soldiers in Ran Min, so these two wins and two defeats are also. Third, the people of my Dayan country are rich, and the grain and grass are enough for themselves, but Ran Min is strict and lacks food, relying on purchases to survive, relying on people to breathe, and these three wins and three defeats are also. Fourth, the monarchs and ministers of my Dayan Kingdom are single-minded, and there is no fear of rebellion in the country, and Ran Min has just pacified the Hebei area, and the country is in turmoil, and there is a possibility of rebellion at any time, and these four wins and four defeats are also. Fifth, my Great Yan Kingdom respects the Great Jin Dynasty as orthodox, and waving the army to the south is to rebel and can get the support of the Jin army, while Ran Min is a slave, but he claims to be the emperor without authorization, this kind of rebellious behavior will inevitably make the Great Jin Dynasty angry, so that Ran Min is completely isolated, and the enemy is on his back, while my Dayan has no such worries, and these five wins and five defeats are also. ”
"Hahaha! The fourth brother is right, with these five wins and five defeats, the 200,000 heroes of my Great Yan Kingdom will definitely be able to defeat Ran Min and seize the land of Hebei. Listening to Murong Ke's answer, Murong Jun's confidence suddenly increased.
"Your Majesty, don't miss the opportunity and don't come again, immediately give the order to send troops!" Several Yan army generals said at the same time.
Murong Jun nodded, looked at the generals in the main hall, and ordered loudly: "Fourth brother, you are the former army commander, leading 100,000 elite troops first, and I will personally lead the remaining 100,000 horses and horses, and take you over." ”
"Yes, second brother." Murong Ke clenched his fists and took the order. (To be continued......)
