"Hoohoo" Among the thousands of troops, Ran Min burst out with a roar, and the double-edged spear of the dragon's head and tiger's tail in his hand pushed forward flatly, pushing several Xianbei knights who rushed over from their horses.
The soldiers behind him carried the Pu knife and followed behind to harvest the heads, and with one knife, the corpses were in two places, and blood spurted out of the cavity like a fountain.
Ran Min found that this tactic was very effective, so he used it again and again, constantly pushing the oncoming Xianbei knights off their horses, and the soldiers behind him followed the horses to harvest human heads, like picking up mustard.
The Xianbei knight was naturally unwilling to be hit by Ran Min's horse, but Ran Min's shot speed was too fast, and his strength was great, so he couldn't react at all and was hit by the spear that swept over, and even if he reacted, he was powerless to resist under the strength of Mount Tai.
Under the night, the torches flickered, and the sound of killing shook the sky, and the wind stirred the ground.
Although Ran Min was fierce, there was only one person, even though he used all his strength to lead the hundred and ten personal soldiers behind him, and killed more than 300 horsemen in one meal, it can be said that the collection of people's heads is like rolling leaves, which is not much better than Li Yuanba's harvesting efficiency.
But after all, there was only one Ran Min among the 15,000 men and horses, and he had a huge disadvantage against the cavalry with infantry.
Moreover, the ambush site chosen by Murong Ke was flat, which was very conducive to cavalry charges.
After breaking through the horse-repelling phalanx of the Gongsun army, the huge advantage of the cavalry was shown, and 14,500 Xianbei knights rushed on horseback, wielding the weapons in their hands to kill wantonly, and for a while, the heads were rolling around, and the flesh and blood were flying.
After nearly an hour of fierce fighting, the Gongsun army lost more than 6,000 people, while the Xianbei cavalry only killed more than 2,000 people, and there were 700 of them killed by Ran Min with his own soldiers behind him.
Ordinary Gongsun soldiers need to pay five or six lives to exchange the life of a Xianbei cavalryman.
As the battle continued, the infantry led by Ran Min became more and more dangerous, and they couldn't fight and couldn't go.
If there is no reinforcement from the allied forces, even if he is as brave as Ran Min, it will be difficult to escape the situation of the annihilation of the entire army, and the scene of being besieged and killed by Murong Ke is afraid that it will be repeated again.
Last time, he was hung and beaten by Cao Cao's tiger and leopard rides, and Murong Ke finally showed his might today, growing a mouthful of evil qi in his chest.
Moreover, Murong Ke found that except for Ran Min, a fierce general, the martial arts of the others were very ordinary, not at all like the last time they were ambushed by Cao Bing, Xia Luqi, Wang Yanzhang, Shan Xiongxin and others were all fierce generals, and when they rushed into battle, they could greatly boost the morale of the army and boost morale.
Murong Ke slapped horses and danced in the chaotic army, clashes left and right, and after an hour, at least more than 100 Han soldiers were stabbed. happened to meet Shan Jing head-on, and roared "eat me" Urging the horse forward, the battle will not be stabbed under the horse.
With the fall of the single meridian in the middle of the army led by the governor, the Gongsun army became even more chaotic, and the casualty ratio of the two sides increased to seven to one.
After another half an hour, the Gongsun army killed more than 3,000 people, and the number of Xianbei cavalry killed was less than 400 people.
"Murong dog thief, come and share the victory with me" Ran Min saw that Murong Ke was separated by more than ten zhang, so he roared loudly and shouted at Murong Ke.
Murong Ke turned a deaf ear, waved his lance and rushed out of the way, avoiding Ran Min from a distance, and instigated the soldiers to come forward to besiege and kill Ran Min: "Those who get Ran Min's head, seal the bones, reward 100 taels of gold, and give 100 Han women" Under the heavy reward, thousands of Xianbei warriors with red eyes pointed at Ran Min, wave after wave, like a huge wave one after another, even if Ran Min's horse hooves were full of corpses, the Xianbei soldiers behind still rushed up like moths to the fire for the reward.
As long as there are enough moths, sooner or later the burning candle will be extinguished "Kill, come to the aid on the order of King Wei" Just when Ran Min was slowly falling into a desperate situation, suddenly a thunderous sound of horses' hooves broke out in the south, and he couldn't see how many cavalry swept in under the banner of Cao's army, and rushed towards the Xianbei cavalry.
From Zhuo County, the seat of Fanyang County, where Cao Cao was stationed in the army, to Jixian County is only one hundred and thirty miles, and it is only seventy or eighty miles away from the battlefield of Yanjiagou.
The cavalry galloped with all their might, that is, an hour and a half of effort, and at the critical moment, the appearance of Cao's army destroyed Murong Ke's wishful thinking.
In the deafening sound of horses' hooves, Cao Wenzhao took the lead in charging, Dian Wei was on the left, and Xu Chu was on the right, leading thousands of troops and horses to cover up, like a rolling tide, and the Xianbei cavalry retreated.
"Withdrawal of troops" was caught off guard by this chaotic new force, and the Xianbei cavalry paid at least five hundred horses, which made Murong Ke grit his teeth with hatred.
But Murong Ke also knew that the real purpose of leading his troops to Jixian County this time was not to fight, but to achieve the conditions of the alliance and assist the Tang army in blocking the Han army from rescuing Jixian.
There was no need to fight with Cao's army, pay a huge price in casualties, so he sounded the horn to collect his troops and retreated eastward.
Ran Min didn't care to thank General Cao, and led the remaining more than 5,000 soldiers under his command to march in the direction of Baiyang Village to rescue Luo Cheng.
And Cao Wenzhao also led Cao Jun to follow closely and went straight to Baiyang Village.
Luo Cheng's situation was even more dangerous than Ran Min's, with 8,000 cavalry against the 20,000 Xiongnu elite cavalry led by Tuo Lei, and the disadvantage in strength was huge. wanted to withdraw to Jixian County despite Ran Min, but he walked only three or four miles, and was intercepted by 15,000 Wuhuan cavalry led by Huang Taiji.
Under the front and rear attack of 35,000 Hu cavalry, the cavalry led by Luo Cheng suffered casualties and was unable to break out of the encirclement.
Of course, if Luo Cheng's force wanted to leave, these Hun cavalry and Wuhuan cavalry would definitely not be able to stop him, but the pride in his heart did not allow Luo Cheng to leave the soldiers and flee back to Jixian alone, either with some remnants of the soldiers, or die on the battlefield.
"Luo Xian's nephew is panicking, Ran Min is coming to help you" At the critical moment, Ran Min roared and waved his spear to join the battle group, rekindling the fighting spirit of more than a thousand white horse Yicong who had fallen into despair, as if grasping a life-saving straw.
The cavalry of the Cao army followed, and Murong Ke's horn of collecting troops whimpered in the wilderness, ringing non-stop.
Tuo Lei and Huang Taiji didn't know how many Cao troops came, and this time they didn't come desperately, so they immediately led their troops to the east, followed Murong Ke's steps, and went in the direction of Gu'an.
There was the fortress road that Li Ji asked the Yuan army to guard, and holding this road would block Li Jing from rescuing Jixian.
Seeing Hu Cai retreating, Luo Cheng, who was covered in blood, high-fived and rejoiced that he did not die, counting the number of people, the 15,000 infantry led by Ran Min were only 5,500 people, and the 8,000 cavalry led by Luo Cheng were only 1,000 and 3, adding up to a total loss of 16,000 people, which was a heavy loss.
Ran Min and Luo Cheng were about to thank General Cao, but found that Cao Jun's iron cavalry had receded.
I didn't think much about it at the moment, and hurriedly retreated towards Jixian County.
After walking four or five miles, I happened to meet Gongsun Zhan who led 10,000 horses out of the city to rescue, and after meeting Ran Min and Luo Cheng, he beat his chest and regretted: "Oh, this battle lost one-third of the whole army, and the number of troops in the city is less than 40,000, I don't know if I can still hold Jixian County and regret not listening to Luo Guanzhong's advice at the beginning."
Ran Min looked ashamed and was silent.
Gongsun Zhan repented all the way, led the soldiers and horses of his headquarters and the remaining 7,000 remnants of the army, and withdrew to Jixian County in despair, and ordered the four gates to be closed, and the whole army climbed the city wall to defend it. and sent messengers to Li Jing and Wei Qing for help.
Cao Wenzhao led his troops back to Zhuo County overnight and stated the battle report to Cao Cao.
Cao Cao laughed when he heard this, and said to Fan Zeng, Guo Jia, Jia Xu, Kuai Liang and other strategists: "Fortunately, we expected this step and sent Wen Zhao to rush to Jixian County in advance.
Otherwise, if Gongsun Zhan's entire army is annihilated and loses his fighting spirit, he will retreat from Jixian County, then the Han army will not have a continuous fierce battle with the Tang army, and we will not be able to reap the benefits of the fisherman."

"The king meant to send us to rescue Gongsun Zhan's army in order to maintain the balance between the two armies," Xu Chuhan scratched his thick neck with a smile and asked confusedly.
Guo Jia smiled and said: "General Zhongkang has enlightened, if Gongsun Zhan abandons the city and leaves, then this battle between the Tang army and the Han army will be over."
Only if Gongsun Chan defends Jixian County to the death, will Li Jing go all out to rescue him, so that a fierce battle breaks out between Tang and Han, just ask Tang and Han both lose, who can get the greatest benefit" "This is the praying mantis catching cicadas, and the yellow finch is behind," Dian Wei also ran over to join in the fun.
Cao Cao laughed: "Haha Gu thinks that since Mr.
Fan arrived, everyone likes to use their brains, this is a good sign, Gu hopes that the generals will become more and more proficient in the art of war" The Hu Cavalry Alliance led by Murong Ke fought a big battle with Ran Min, losing a total of more than 4,000 horsemen, and after arriving at the Gu'an Fortress, they camped overnight and defended it with danger.
In the second half of the night, the 20,000 Tang troops led by Zu Dashou arrived in a hurry, lived next to the alien coalition army, and held the fortress leading from Fangcheng to Jixian.
At the same time that Zu Dashou and Murong Ke were defending Gu'an, Li Mu also led 40,000 people to Anci, blocked the road for Yongnu to rescue Jixian County, and sent Wang Bodang to lead 10,000 horses to Jixian County to assist Li Ji in attacking Jixian County.
At dawn, Li Ji led Li Yuanba, Li Siye, Chen Ziyun and others to raise 100,000 troops, plus Wang Bodang's 10,000 horses, like half of the sea water at high tide, "hula", besieged Jixian County.
At dawn, Li Cunxiao, Chen Deng, and Gao Gao led 40,000 forwards from Fangcheng to drive most of the night, looking at the distance from Jixian County, there were still about fifty miles, but they found that the fortress was occupied in advance by the 50,000 or 60,000 yuan army and the Tang army, and they could not pass, so they could only retreat 20 miles and station, and sent a messenger to report to Li Jing and ask for instructions on how to use troops next Just when Li Cunxiao was blocked in Gu'an, the 20,000 cavalry led by Ma Chao and Qin Liangyu were intercepted by Li Mu in Anci after galloping from Quanzhou for half the night, and they could only retreat 30 miles back to set up camp, and inform Li Jing and Wei Qing of the battle situation, asking for a decision As soon as the sky was bright, Jixian County had been surrounded by the Tang army, and the rescue road was completely blocked. t1706231537:
