Chapter 613

At the beginning, ran min led 3000 Turkmen cavalry to fight. From the morning to the afternoon, the number of cavalry beside him decreased to less than 1000.

It's not that ran min encountered a strong army that lost two thousand horses. It's because the environment here is too complex. They caught the retreating Murong Yan army and killed it all the way. Murong Yan army ran around everywhere. The troops chasing out will inevitably disperse with most of them.

In the battle field full of the enemy's defeated soldiers, it is not so easy for even the party with the advantage to meet after dispersing. This is true in the open land, especially in the forest full of trees. There can be about 1000 people around, which has reflected ran min's good ability of unifying troops.

In fact, ran min didn't care much about how many subordinates followed closely. Today, he killed more than 300 enemies with his own hands. The guys in his hands... That is, the double-edged spear and hook halberd were full of blood. Zhu Longma and his body were covered with a layer of blood. When he was happy, he only focused on catching people and killing them, and didn't bother to pay attention to so much.

If it hadn't been for Sima's warning, ran min didn't notice the flag issued by Xie AI's department.

Ran min, who was informed by the friendly army, knew that there were marten and leopard cavalry on the battlefield, and his blood burned in an instant. He had the experience of fighting with mink leopard cavalry. It was the battle in which Shi Hu fought against Murong Xianbei. At that time, he was the rear force after Shi Hu took the lead in escaping. He faced more than 30000 Murong Xianbei cavalry with less than 3000 people as a role of being caught and chased and killed.

"Revenge! Revenge! Revenge!" Ran min's eyes were red, waved a hook halberd, picked up an enemy in the way, recognized the direction and shouted: "rush!"

Murong Yanjun's current situation is very bad. Most people only want to escape from the Shura field, or the attitude of being ordered to escape. Only a few people can be organically mobilized by Murong Ke to fight.

There were so many people on the battlefield that there was no coordination. Some confused murongyan troops even fled and went to the southwest. As a result, the Han Army that was chased out blocked again.

The collapse of Murong Yan army was caused in a very short time. 70000 people fled everywhere. They abandoned their weapons and knelt down for surrender except that there was really no way to escape. This is the result of the large-scale killing of Jie people in Bingzhou and Shuozhou by the Han state. The soldiers of Murong Yan army are completely afraid that they will also be buried alive. As a result, they will never surrender without surrender.

There are people's fighting fields everywhere. Even cavalry can't keep running at high speed all the time. They will keep slowing down in the continuous fight and can run. In fact, it's very good.

Ran min had only about 1000 Knights around him, but nearly 6000 war horses accompanied him.

There is no shortage of war horses in the Han Dynasty. Even light cavalry can do one person and two horses; In addition to two war horses used for alternating replacement, the sudden cavalry also has a pack horse for carrying heavy loads; For example, the armour riding gear of the Huben army is used to replace the fighting horses alternately, but there is also a war horse for walking at ordinary times, and there is no lack of a pack horse for carrying goods.

Ran min and his subordinates are about 1000 people, and there will be about 6000 horses accompanying them. It is the nature of horses to be sociable. It is equivalent to the rest of the scattered paoze. Their spare horses and pack horses are almost here.

Of course, the war horses without load are lighter. They will run faster than the war horses with knights. It is just that the long-term training will make them more disciplined, so they don't run in the front. Some of them are connected and run by war horses carrying knights, while others simply follow the flow and trample on the roaring hoofs all the way. Anyone in the way will be knocked down, and then trampled into meat mud by countless hoofs.

Xie AI used the height of the nest car to look around the battlefield and saw ran min killing the position of the mink and leopard cavalry before turning his eyes to other places.

At this moment, people are still pouring out of the woods in the southwest, and the number of cavalry is not much. The enemy and us on foot appear in running and chasing. Sharp blades flash and blood splashes everywhere, and then their bodies fall heavily to the ground.

The voice of "surrender without killing" could be heard in the woods. Xie AI smiled on his face.

Persuading surrender takes place on the premise of taking advantage. The voice of persuading surrender means that the main force of the Han Army has also caught up. Xie AI is both an accident and a surprise for his main force to come so soon.

"Command the infantry to push forward slowly." Xie AI said and shook his hand below. The floor of the nest car slowly dropped in the 'creak' sound: "still haven't you found Murong Ke?"

"No." Yuan Qiao put down the telescope that had been covered in his eyes: "it should be Yan Qi, but I don't know whether he is still present or has fled."

"The enemy's armor and riding gear are still there." Xie AI means that the sable and leopard cavalry is a heavy weapon of Murong Yan state. Murong Ke will not run without him. Seeing that the board had stabilized, he opened the door and went out, saying, "Long Shi continued to observe the battlefield and waited for an opportunity to order. Someone rushed to the front in person."

Yuan Qiao bowed: "it should be so."

The reason why the battlefield is a battlefield is not only a bloody place, but also enough chaos and noise. Ran Min has been charging and killing all the way, but in fact, it is impossible to confirm whether the route has turned or not.

In the battlefield, unless it is on a high ground, it is really difficult to identify the target. After all, the battlefield is full of people. They will move in the fight before they die, but there is no reason to stay in place and wait for someone to kill.

The truth is that Murong Ke came to the position of mink and leopard cavalry in person after the cavalry of the Han army came out of the forest in the southwest. He knew that the army was finished, and the other arms would not save if they could not be saved. He wanted to take the remaining mink and leopard cavalry away from the battlefield.

It's not a rational behavior to be on the battlefield to disarm, but if you don't Disarm your armor and riding gear, you can't run far. Don't even think about changing horses and riding during galloping. Only when the knight takes off his armor and the horse's armor should be removed, and the load of that body should be shared by multiple war horses, can he maximize his physical strength for long-distance galloping.

"Henggong, ran min is going to kill him." Liu Xiang didn't want to look so cowardly, but the problem was that he couldn't control it: "let's go quickly!"

"It's not just Shi Min..." Murong Ke's eyes are looking to the southwest, but in fact, he can't pass through so many people and see through the dense trees. He said deeply: "the main force of the king of Han is not far away."

It hasn't been a day yet. Murong Ke feels like he's dreaming.

At the last moment, Murong Yan army still had a large-scale defense line. The 40000 troops left to garrison the defense line and the 70000 troops in the state of evacuation collapsed in one day, but I don't know how many people can escape.

It has been about a quarter of an hour since the marten and leopard cavalry disarmed. Regardless of the damage to their armor, the disarming speed has increased a lot. There should be seven or eight hundred people who evacuate first, and no more than five hundred people who have not completed the disarming.

It was noisy and chaotic on the battlefield. Murong Ke tried his best to observe around and found that a Han cavalry had been close to within two miles, but the surrounding friendly troops only used their back to face the enemy. While sinking their heart, he drank loudly: "those who are still wearing armour are ready to meet the enemy, and the rest come with someone."

The marten and leopard cavalry who did not disarm were stunned by repeated orders. They watched the auxiliary personnel run away, and then looked at the relieved companions. At that time, they were really mixed.

The sable and leopard cavalry have always enjoyed high treatment in Murong Yanjun. They have been invincible in the past and cultivated their own pride. It is just that they are too oppressed today. The long-term training of obeying orders makes the remaining people habitually choose to obey orders no matter how complicated their hearts are.

"Go away!"

"Get out of the way!"

"Get out! Get out!"

Because the mood is complex, it will become irritable, and the formation also needs space. At first, about 500 sable and leopard cavalry still scolded, and then simply waved weapons to disobedient friendly forces.

Ran min, who has been killing, gradually feels something wrong. When fighting, his attention is on killing. He will habitually face the enemy's position, circle and toss repeatedly on the route that has been rushed. There is no problem at all.

Ran min noticed something was wrong because there were fewer enemies around him. He caught the routed soldiers running to the left and right in a certain place. Gradually, he saw the sable and leopard cavalry lined up in the front line.

"Change horses!"

After a fight, the number of sudden cavalry with about a thousand people fell to less than 800. No one was killed in battle. The "shout" sound made by the mount was able to distinguish the degree of fatigue.

After the speed dropped, ran min quickly turned over from Zhu Longma to the black Zhui horses on his side. This dark Xiji horse was named wuzhui, which was selected by Liu Yan from many majestic horses. After naming, it was specially rewarded to ran min.

The names of the mounts of the generals are more particular. They are generally based on the hair color of the horses. For example, the red rabbit horse is actually a horse with fire red hair. The hair color of the Zhulong horse also tends to be red. The horses called wuzhui are definitely a group of black hair horses. Jueying is actually four hoof snow treading. It is named according to the color of the horse's fur and the hue of individual parts. Generally, it will not be named indiscriminately, let alone any horse will be named carefully.

Ran Min has the reputation of living Xiang Yu. Liu Yancai will reward the war horse named Wu Zhui. It probably means that Liu Yan admits ran min's bravery and encourages ran min to kill the enemy bravely.

After the formation of the sable and leopard cavalry was set up, they didn't care whether there were friendly troops on the road. They had begun to move forward at a slow speed. The heavy armored horses ran rampant where they passed, and the iron chains dragged on the ground brought more than dust.

The sudden cavalry after changing horses turned a corner under the leadership of Ran min, instead of bumping into it directly. They need a time to speed up and are well aware of the need for detours.

In the final analysis, the sudden cavalry of the Han army is a kind of chest armor cavalry. The strongest protection lies in the chest. At most, the other parts are covered with thick leather armor to prevent arrows. It is lighter and more flexible than the heavy cavalry wrapped in metal, and can't be compared in overall weight. In a metaphor that is clear to modern people, heavy cavalry is tanks, and sudden cavalry is armored vehicles.

Marten and leopard cavalry have iron chains with each other. It is not generally difficult to change direction after charging. Compared with other heavy cavalry, they rely more on the cooperation of other arms. At least the two wings need friendly forces to take care of them. The problem is that most of Murong Yanjun only run for their lives, and the 500 sable and leopard cavalry who were killed and charged were soon caught blind.

Yuan Qiao, who was on the nest car, saw it clearly and cheered for ran min's side attack.

After completing the detour, the sudden cavalry attacked from the waist side. The sable and leopard cavalry who could not turn and dodge could only be passively impacted. At the moment when the cavalry crossed each other, their weapons greeted each other, and knights fell off their horses all the time.

Just two charges back and forth, ran min could no longer see the sable leopard knight who could ride safely on his horse. He laughed wildly like a bad breath, and did not forget to lead his subordinates to continue to kill the Murong Yan army who fled in panic.

In another place, Xie AI personally gathered the cavalry, and had begun to chase with the early evacuees.

Almost in the evening, Liu Yan came out of the forest to the open land. When he came, the battle here had entered the stage of gathering prisoners of war.

"My Lord." When Liu Yan came, Yuan Qiao came to the audience for the first time. After the salute, he reported: "Marquis meiyang and Marquis Xinting led their troops to pursue, which was presided over by the minister on behalf of him."

In recognition of Xie AI's meritorious service, the Marquis of the pavilion was newly granted during the Chinese new year, and four other people were granted the Marquis together, which can be regarded as allowing such a big man to have more than double-digit marquis.

Today, the results of this war have not been fully counted. About 30000 Murong Yan army on the other side of the defense line have become prisoners of war. The pursuit of Murong Yan army in the forest continues. It is an established fact that Murong Ke's 110000 troops collapsed in World War I.

Yuan Qiao ordered people to bring a large number of armor and specially explained, "these are the equipment of the enemy's armor and riding gear, with a number of 1300."

It's not easy to calculate how many marten and leopard cavalry are killed. It can only be judged according to the heavy armor of the captured cavalry. After all, once the heavy cavalry loses its armor and riding gear, it's not easy to build it in batches with the national strength of various countries. Capturing the armor and riding gear of the heavy cavalry is equivalent to destroying a heavy cavalry.

In fact, Liu Yan didn't know how many sable and leopard cavalry Murong Ke brought. He was not so afraid of heavy cavalry on the premise that he had used gunpowder weapons.

For the current Han Army, all arms are fired by several rounds of stone throwing vehicles. If one round can't kill them, let's have another round.

In fact, after the emergence of gunpowder weapons, Liu Yan is considering the lightness of the army's armed forces. In the future, gunpowder weapons will be widely used against the enemy. Before guns and muskets are produced and loaded in large quantities, grenades will be the killer mace of soldiers. In case of siege or battle, they will use stone throwing vehicles Bed crossbow, which can launch explosive bags, teaches the enemy what it means to enter the era of hot weapons.
