Even if you want to go north, you can't just leave.
Li Yue restrained the soldiers and crossed the Si River from Xiapi. He showed his troops across the Huaihe River and peered east of the Yangtze River.
All of Heiyun's soldiers mounted their captured war horses and marched first south to Huaiyin, then west to Suiling, across Huainan, and reached the foot of Shouchun City.
The counties and counties along the way collapsed in the face of the wind. The soldiers and civilians in Jiangdong were unable to escape, and no army dared to come forward to resist.
Even Meng Kai's three thousand elite cavalry avoided the sharp edge and did not dare to confront the Black Cloud Army again.
Yuan Zhen hid in Shouchun City and did not dare to move. Chen Kui, the governor of Huainan, used his traditional skills to burn down Hefei and led his army to flee south.
The Heiyun Army was so powerful that it killed more than 40,000 barbarians along the way and captured 150,000 people, which had not happened in the past thirty years. Jianghuai was frightened. Yin Hao and Xie Shang set up high fortresses in deep ditches in the north of the Yangtze River, fearing the darkness. The Yun army took advantage of the victory and headed south.
After showing off his power, Li Yue was satisfied with his troops and marched north.
Although Shouchun didn't take it, looking at Jiangdong's appearance, he would never fight the Black Cloud Army here, so he ordered Xu Cheng to take it back when he had the chance.
The Heiyun Army marched north non-stop. As soon as they arrived in Xue County, news came from the north again that Ran Min had won nine times!
But Murong Ke still was not defeated.
The two armies are still facing each other in Zhongshan.
When something went wrong, he became a demon. Ran Min fought nine battles, but never opened up the situation, which shows that the situation has been firmly controlled by Murong Ke.
I don’t know what he was thinking, but he still dared to stand in Zhongshan, unaware of the approaching danger.
This actually reflects Murong Ke's ability to command troops.
A formidable and difficult opponent.
He was responsible for most of Murong's current empire.
However, Li Yue is also very proud, and being qualified to share the stage with such an opponent is a victory in itself.
Four years ago, there were only a handful of people in Heiyun Mountain, but today they have swept across most of the Central Plains, with tens of thousands of elites and millions of people under their command. This is a great man, and I feel relieved for the rest of my life!
As long as the rest is stabilized, the potential of the Central Plains will be released bit by bit.
Of course, the road ahead will be more difficult.
Zhang Yu, Liu Guo, Yin Hao, and Xun Xian are only second- and third-rate opponents. In the future, they will face Murong Ke, Murong Chui, Huan Wen, and even the Fu family and the Tuoba family.
However, they also have to face the Black Cloud Army.
Li Yue is extremely ambitious.
"Does the Governor want to rescue Lord Wei when he goes north?" Chang Wei asked, sitting on a deer cart.
Li Yue looked at the clean sky in Huaibei, "It's probably too late. Murong Ke won't wait for us to go north to support Ran Min."
Regarding Ran Min, Li Yue thought that he had exhausted his kindness and righteousness. He sent food several times to alleviate the plight of Yecheng. He advised him to stop when the situation was good and work hard as a long-term solution, but he turned a deaf ear to all of them.
Once the external crisis eased, Ran Min began to look covetously at Yanzhou.
In this situation, Ran Min and Ran Min are destined to be different from each other.
"Only when a dragon dies can a dragon ascend! God's will is clear and cannot be reversed without human effort." Chang Wei twisted his beard and said softly.
Li Yue's voice was so small that he didn't even hear it clearly...
Zhongshan, Wei Chang.
"Murong Ke!" In front of the Yan army's camp, Ran Min immediately raised his spear and roared Murong Ke's name.
The voices were loud and clear, but with a bit of desolation and exhaustion.
Even the divine horse Zhu Long under his crotch is no longer as majestic as it used to be. He lowers his head and lowers his ears, and lets out a mournful cry or two from time to time.
At the end of spring and the beginning of summer, the wind came from the south and lifted Ran Min's cloak, and the flag behind him trembled slightly.
After nine battles and nine wins, the situation still cannot be changed. It is like a giant tiger trapped in a net. No matter how hard it struggles, the giant net is unbreakable, but the tiger is gradually losing strength.
"Murong Ke, I'll fight you to the death!" Ran Min said angrily.
But it was to no avail. After rows of antlers, the Yan army raised their spears nervously, without any intention of leaving the city for a decisive battle.
"Your Majesty, our army is exhausted. We should return to Yedu, recuperate our soldiers, and then fight to the death again!" Dong Run's voice was filled with despair.
All the horses in the army have been killed, and the cavalry have become infantry.
But Ran Min still refused to retreat.
"The war has come to this point. How can we just retreat? If we retreat now, how will the people in the world look at me?" Ran Min turned around, his eyes were as red as fire, and veins were pulsing on his face.
Dong Run's ferocious appearance made Dong Run feel cold. Zhang Wen cupped his hands and said: "Even if your Majesty does not retreat, you should dig deep ditches and high bases to wait for reinforcements!"
Ran Min looked at the two of them, "Reinforcements? Where are the reinforcements?"
Zhang Wen said cautiously: "Director Li of Yanzhou has written to Your Majesty several times. His loyalty is a lesson. He will not sit back and watch the Murong family run rampant in Hebei."
"Hmph!" The anger in Ran Min's eyes ignited again, and he drove his horse towards the two of them step by step, "As long as Murong Ke dares to leave the camp, I can defeat his army and behead him, why do I need his help?"
"Your Majesty, you are so powerful!" Dong Run quickly grabbed Zhang Wen and bowed down together.
Ran Min looked at the two people condescendingly, a faint murderous aura lingering throughout his body.
He had long been afraid of Guangzong's begging army.
Instead of surrendering to the Murong clan, he would have gotten very close to Yanzhou. It was just that Shi Kun and Liu Xian had been clinging to it, so he had no chance to take action.
The surrounding soldiers all looked over, but the murderous aura in Ran Min did not break out after all, "Go back to camp!"
Dong Run and Zhang Wen were relieved...
The Wei army retreated, and Murong Ke watched everything quietly in the Yan army camp. Behind him, five thousand cavalry stood in the camp, all wearing iron armor, and connected with iron ropes.
Murong Ke carefully selected the soldiers and soldiers who were good at shooting and brave but without strength.
Even the character of the soldiers was taken into consideration, they were brave but not strong.
This set of chained horses was tailor-made by Murong Ke for Ran Min. After nine failures, Murong Ke had already discovered the weakness of the Wei army. Every time, Ran Min charged forward, killing gods and killing Buddhas with sharpness. Unparalleled and invincible, no matter how many troops surround him, he will kill him and break through the siege.
Since Ran Min is good at impact, let him not be able to charge forward.
As long as Ran Min's charge is limited, the Wei army will be the turtle in the urn.
"The bandit army is already exhausted and can be attacked. The Black Cloud Army will not move north until the two armies join forces." Gao Kai said softly from the side.
"Without further delay, let's go to battle today." Murong Ke made a prompt decision.
The soldiers of Yan Army gathered together, but their faces looked frightened. Ran Min's nine victories in nine battles left a great psychological shadow on them.
Although there was no major defeat due to Murong Ke's outstanding leadership ability, the casualties were considerable.
Many soldiers were frightened when they saw Ran Min.
Not only the soldiers, but also the generals of the Yan army were frightened.
Ran Min defeated them again and again with weak troops on the battlefield. All the Yan generals who came to challenge were killed by Ran Min.
Murong Ke inspected the generals, drew his sword and shouted: "Min is a reckless man, I will capture him today, why don't you fight to the death!"
But the generals' eyes dodge.
Murong Ke's expression suddenly changed, "A hundred thousand troops, tens of thousands of grain and fodder every day, all the efforts of the country, you are as afraid of the enemy as a tiger, how can you come back to see your majesty? I am a member of the clan, and I am not afraid of death, let alone you and others?" Today's matter involves death or life, take a step back and kill!"
A person who has always been gentle and tolerant suddenly becomes angry, and a person who gets angry at every turn is even more powerful.
The whole body of the generals was shocked: "I am willing to fight with the general in bloody battles!"
Murong Ke rode his horse and stood in front of the soldiers, "Today, Ran Min will be captured and killed!"
The Yan army had always been sincerely convinced by Murong Ke, otherwise they would not have been defeated by Ran Min nine times without being defeated. A simple sentence restored the fighting spirit of the soldiers.
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
Countless spears and bows were raised...
