...

August 12th, Xiazhou...

"call……"

The strong wind brought out yellow and sand, covering the sky and the sun, and concealed the vision. In a trance, the earth shook, as if thousands of troops galloped up...

The earth-built Xiazhou city walls are full of ruins, and traces of hand-to-hand combat can be vaguely seen, which shows the cruelty of the war.

In the middle of the streets in the city, dozens of dead wooden stakes were erected, with the bodies of Wei guards hanging on them, and the surrounding houses were also damaged to varying degrees.

The bodies of the residents in the city can be seen everywhere on both sides of the street, including people from Central Plains and Qiang people. The bright red blood color covered the yellow land. Even though there were many days, a disgusting smell of blood could still be faintly smelled.

After the Zhenglan Banner occupied Xiazhou, it launched a cruel massacre in all villages and towns in the territory. Almost overnight, nine out of ten households in Xiazhou were empty, and it had become the soul of Murong's iron hoof.

The years of confrontation allowed the already cruel Zhenglan Banner to fully exert the bloody and barbaric genes in his body. The senior Murong officials did not stop this because they knew that irritable soldiers needed to vent their boredom for many years, otherwise, they would be extremely prone to large-scale mutiny.

Murong Lian, Murong De, and Murong Sheng stood above the city, looking at the wonders of yellow sand outside the northwest border, and began to discuss the next action.

"What a pity, Murong Ba is not here, otherwise he would have already attacked Liangzhou now." Murong De sighed and said.

Murong Lian smiled slightly: "Brother, the name Murong Ba is gone. You should call him Murong Chui now. Don't worry, even if we don't have the leader of Murong this time, we can still conquer Liangzhou."

Murong De nodded, but Murong Sheng next to him said with concern: "Murrong Ke, will there be no problem with Murong Jie attacking Lingzhou and Suizhou? Should we send some more troops to help? It's safe to do so, after all, they only brought 10,000 cavalry."

Murong Lian shook his head: "Ten thousand iron cavalry is enough. Don't forget that Xichang, Husha and Waci also sent 30,000 troops to cooperate. Besides, Murong Ke did not use his troops to defeat his clan brothers (Murrong Chui). In the two states, there were only a few thousand soldiers in Wei State. In addition, if there were Qiang people as their inner support, they would defeat them sooner or later.

What we should worry about now is the revenge from Wei Min. After many days, I don’t know what happened in Jin Chong Pass. With our understanding of Wei Min, he would never give up."

Murong Sheng said: "However, the dozens of spies we sent to Jinzhong Pass to inquire about the news have not returned yet. I guess they must have encountered an accident. Without specific information about the next step, we cannot make arrangements as soon as possible."

Murong frowned and said, "It seems that Wei Min attaches much importance to Liangzhou than Xiazhou and other places, but I don't believe he can really keep calm."

"Report~~"

As soon as he finished speaking, a foreign race with blood all over his horse came to Murong Lian panting with his support and dragged by two samurai warriors.

"Are you Murong Jie's person? Why did you look like this?" Murong De next to him pulled up the stalker and asked sternly, "What happened?"

The horse stung his dry throat and said to Murong De: "General, the army was attacked by Wei Min's main force when it was conquering Lingzhou. Murong Jie and General Murong Ke were defeated by Wei Min's army. Together with 20,000 Western Regions, they were besieged in the Yanran Mountains. Please send troops to rescue quickly..."

After talking, Tanma grabbed the water bag handed over by his companion, opened the plug, and poured it into his throat regardless of everything.

After hearing this news, Murong and the other two suddenly felt a slump. They never expected that after waiting for so many days, they would wait for such bad news, which completely disrupted their deployment.

I thought Wei Min would come straight to Xiazhou. After all, Xiazhou was a barrier to Liangzhou, but Wei Min went out of seclusion and went straight to Lingzhou to attack Murong Ke and Murong Jie's side troops. This was something they unexpected.

Murong Lian pondered for a moment, his face returned to his calm and gentle appearance, and said with a smile: "It seems that we have underestimated this reckless man. He almost forgot that Wei Min is a famous general in the first place of military service.

He knew that Xiazhou had heavy troops to guard it, and it was extremely unfavorable for him to start a war rashly, so he simply went to conquer Lingzhou and took the lead in stabilizing the morale of the army..."

After Murong De heard this, Sichen pulled the siege for a moment and asked, "How many troops do Wei Min have? Have you ever Taming Qing? And how could Lingzhou be so easily conquered? What about the Qiang people in the inner world?"

The horse explorer said in a trembling voice: "The Wei army has no less than 100,000. After hearing that Wei Min arrived, all the Qiang people turned against each other, which led to the situation losing control before the two generals responded."

"As sooner or later, the Mother of the Earth will punish them, so that they will be killed by their descendants and fall into the dark abyss forever!" Murong De cursed the Qiang lineage in resentment. Now he felt in his heart that Wei Min's "Killing Hu Ling" was extremely wise.

Murong Lian put away the smile on his face and continued, "It seems that the bargaining chips we have given to the Qiang people are still too low, so even if we encounter enemies like Wei Min, they dare not be enemies.

We must re-dividate some interests to them. If we don’t have the help of the Qiang people, we will pay a heavy price to defeat Wei Min.”

Murong Sheng said, "Don't talk about this for now, let's find a way to rescue Murong Ke and the others first. It's too late, so we have to ask Wei Min for the body."

Murong Lian said: "I'm afraid that it's not that easy to rescue this time. Wei Min's use of troops is different from others..."

"Then won't save me when I die?" Murong De was a little dissatisfied with Murong Lian's concerns, "Let me do this, I will lead my troops to come and learn about Wei Min's methods."

I thought Murong Lian would refuse, but he nodded in agreement just after thinking for a moment, "You are right, then please ask my brother to rescue Murong Ke and the others!"

Murong De didn't say anything more, but just bowed his hand, then strode down the city to guide the troops and prepare to rush to Yanran Mountain.

After Murong's troops left, Murong Sheng couldn't help asking: "Bank Master, is this really appropriate?"

Murong Lian sighed: "If it was expected, Murong De would definitely return without success and even lose a lot of people."

Murong Sheng was shocked: "Then why don't you stop him?"

Murong Lian smiled but did not answer, and after a long time he replied: "Only in this way can we defeat Wei Min."

Murong Sheng didn't understand what Murong Lian said, so he thought about it, looked towards Liangzhou and said, "Since Wei Min's army has gone out of the frontier, should we take this opportunity to attack Liangzhou? In this way, Wei Min will become a rootless piaoping, which is not a problem."

Murong Lian shook his head: "Who is Wei Min? Will he leave such a big flaw for us to learn? Once he attacks Jin Chongguan, it is equivalent to jumping into a careful trap he has set up."

When Murong Sheng heard this, he felt it was reasonable, but he was still unwilling to accept it.

But Murong Lian said with a smile: "Murrong's tribe has released enough kindness. Next, it depends on whether Yongzhou responds."

...

"Driving~Quick~"

Murong De was concerned about the safety of his tribe, so he personally led his 25,000 blue flag iron cavalry to travel day and night, galloping towards Yanran Mountain without stopping. It has been two days and two nights since he set out from Xiazhou.

Tens of thousands of cavalry, one man and three horses, the cavalry of the Mengluo Grassland fully demonstrated their cavalry skills. They spent all their food and drink on the back of the horse. In two days and nights, they had marched for more than 400 miles and were getting closer and closer to Yanran Mountain.

"Yanran Mountain is ahead, and rushed over to rescue Murong Jie and the others!"

When the towering outline of Yanran Mountain appeared behind his eyes, Murong De's expression was even higher and kept urging the army to speed up his journey.

The roaring sound of horse hooves stepped across the Gobi Desert, leaving traces of yellow sand paved.

Suddenly...

"Swish~~"

A sound arrow cut through the sky, the next moment...

"Boom~~"

With a loud bang, the soil trampled by the war horses suddenly collapsed. The Zhenglan Banner Cavalry, who had no time to react, fell into the huge pit in groups, causing a shrill scream.

"Not good~ the enemy attacks~"

Murong De was shocked and immediately realized that he had encountered an ambush. Although he was very cautious all the way, he just let down his vigilance when he came to Yanran Mountain. He never thought that the enemy would set up an ambush in such a conspicuous place.

“Ah~~”

"Well~~"

The Zhenglan Banner Cavalry who fell into the tunnel was ruthlessly broken by the spear inside, and both the people and horses were pierced by the iron spear as thick as the bowl.

Boiling blood kept splashing out from the tunnel, instantly dyeing the gravel on the Gobi Desert red.

"Shoot the arrow~~"

The next moment, hundreds of steps away, a dark group of Wei soldiers suddenly emerged from the ground. At the order of Yang Yin, arrows as dense as rain and locusts covered the sky and the sun were falling towards the soldiers who were in chaos.

"Puff puff puff..."

"Well……"

“Well…”

The cold arrowheads ruthlessly penetrated the bodies of the people. Many arrowheads pierced from various tricky angles into the fiery bodies from the cracks of the armor, causing stormy blood to collide, turning into a ball of blood mist and spreading into the air.

Murong De waved his sword and bounced away the arrowheads that fell to him in the air. There were arrows hanging on the iron armor, pointing to Yang Yin and roaring: "Bastard! The whole army gathers together and fight back!"

"Kill~~"

"Aoao~~"

It has to be said that the fact that the existence of the Mass Blue Banner can become the second only to the Mass Yellow Banner is definitely not a false reputation. Even if they are in trouble and are physically and mentally exhausted, their entire army still maintains high fighting spirit.

Monro Hachiman's invincible reputation has long been deeply rooted in the bones of every soldier selected into Hachiman. They will never be allowed to be defeated by the enemy's conspiracy.

And so, at the command of Murong De, the cavalry of Zhenglan Banner quickly set off the formation and launched a decisive charge in the direction where Yang Yin was.

"Kill all these Wei dogs!"

Murong Hua, the archer who was rushing in the front, shouted loudly with a three-meter tiger spear in his hand, and kept stepping on the stirrup to accelerate his charge, hoping that these Wei troops would see the military strike of the Mengluo Iron Cavalry.

However……

“Bububu…”

A continuous sound of mechanical rotation echoed in Murong Hua's ears like the call of the god of death.

“That’s…”

His pupils instantly dilated, as if he saw something incredible.

But there were less than a hundred steps away, hundreds of stones weighing about ten kilograms fell from mid-air into the cavalry team where Murong Hua was located.

"Bang~"

"Well~"

"Puff~"

Two stones hit Murong Hua's mount's head and his chest, but Murong Hua spit out a mouthful of blood on his back, and the tiger gun in his hand fell to the ground, and the heart-protecting mirror on his chest had been chiseled. The next moment, the horse staggered and leaned down, and threw him forward. Because his feet were fixed by stirrups, his whole body was smashed into the solid ground of the Gobi Desert...
