While Qin Nan and the others were attacking the blocking troops in front of Ye Xian Tu Gan, the rear troops led by Lan Lian were also blocking the Mongolian soldiers led by Ye Xian Tu Gan himself.
Before Lan Zhen left, she left all the bows and arrows with Lan Lian. Lan Lian asked people to put exhausted horses and dead bodies in front to slightly block the Mongolian cavalry charge. Then he asked everyone to ride to
Immediately, the bow and arrow were aimed at the area behind the corpse: after the Mongolian soldiers crossed the pile of corpses, the horse would definitely slow down a bit. This had nothing to do with riding skills. Lan Lian just took this small chance.
It doesn't matter if the Mongolian soldiers choose to go around. That will still delay time. Isn't that why they are here to delay time?
Yexian Tugan charged forward on horseback. Because it was still dark, and although there was a moon, it was not as bright as the sun. They did not find the array of corpses in front of them, so they kept charging.
The leading Mongolian soldier didn't care when he discovered the corpse formation. He lifted the reins and let the seated horse cross the corpse formation at once.
But as soon as their horses landed on the ground, a hail of arrows fell on their heads, and more than thirty people were shot to death at once.
The remaining Mongolian soldiers were "smart" and immediately dispersed to both sides. The formation was suddenly gone, and Lan Lian immediately sent a hundred Ming troops to charge forward and kill them.
In this way, two groups of Mongolian soldiers were killed, and Xian Tugan also saw what their tactics were. There was no technical content, just go around from both sides, but that would waste more time; but there were not many soldiers around him.
Just as he was hesitating, the rumble of horse hooves came from behind. It turned out that Baotai had received an order from Ye Xiantu Gan, and knowing the crisis, he asked some Mongolian soldiers to run over desperately, regardless of their horse power.
Ye Xiantu Gan was overjoyed! He immediately ordered: "The whole army charges!"
Lan Lian and the others immediately felt pressure. It took a lot of effort to string the bows and arrows, and they had already stretched their bows three times, and their movements were very slow. The Mongolian soldiers on the opposite side took a burst of bows and arrows, and the remaining ones who were not dead rushed forward to fight in hand-to-hand combat.
Lan Lian knew that even if he reluctantly fired his bow again, the Mongolian soldiers would rush in front of him. With their speed, those Mongolian soldiers could kill them all at once! So he dropped his bow and arrow and shouted: "
Follow me and kill the Tatars!" He drew his spear and charged forward.
Lan Lian's martial arts is very good, which is different from Lan Zhen. He waved the spear in his hand, knocked a Mongolian soldier off his horse, and swung the spear again, stabbing another Mongolian soldier to death.
The Mongolian soldiers also paid attention to him, and three Mongolian soldiers rushed towards him. Lan Lian shot a Mongolian soldier's horse. The horse suffered pain, swayed left and right, and hit the Mongolian soldier next to him. Lan Lian seized the opportunity and killed him.
These two Mongolian soldiers.
However, the number of Mongolian soldiers was seven or eight times theirs, and many of them were excellent in riding and martial arts. After a total of more than 300 Mongolian soldiers died, Lan Lian only had four of the nearly 200 soldiers left.
Personal.
At this time, Baotai and the remaining 4,000 Mongolian soldiers had arrived. Yexian Tugan immediately sent nearly 6,000 Mongolian soldiers, including more than 500 people from Lundurhui, to pursue Yunxi, Lanzhen and the others.
He only had more than a hundred people left here to surround Lan Lian and the four of them.
The reason why Ye Xiantu Gan did not lead the troops to pursue him in person was because the defense line he had arranged had been broken through. The next step was to search for Yunxi on the Nettle Ridge. Although there was not much vegetation on the Nettle Ridge, it could still be used by several people.
If you provide cover personally, you may die in confusion.
The second reason is that he wants to capture Lan Lian. Although he doesn't know who Lan Lian is, Lan Lian wears a complete set of armor, and Xian Tugan is a person who knows the goods. Even the commander may not be able to buy this set of armor.
Yes, so Lan Lian must be a person of high status; in addition, Lan Lian is very good at martial arts, and he has also developed a love for talents. It would be great if such a person could surrender.
Yexian Tugan stood more than four feet in front of Lan Lian and said to Lan Lian: "Warrior, I admire your courage. I wonder if you can tell me your name?"
Lan Lian looked up at the sky. It was already dark. The emperor's grandson and his eldest brother should have fled into Nettle Ridge! Lan Lian thought.
Then he said: "I am Lan Lian, the second son of Duke Liang of the Ming Dynasty."
Ye Xian Tu Gan showed an expression of admiration and said: "It turns out that he is a descendant of General Lan! Although General Lan is hostile to me, Dayuan, I admire General Lan very much. If General Lan Lian can join me,
, I promise to give General Lan Lian a separate tribe, and ask me, the Emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, to appoint you as the Governor of the Privy Council."
"And I, the prince of Dayuan and a descendant of Meng Ge Khan, also have a sister who is not yet married. If General Lan Lian is willing to come over, I am willing to marry my sister to the general. I believe my sister is also willing to marry
A hero like the general."
Lan Lian laughed "hehe" a few times, and then murmured to himself: "I, Lan Lian, can be considered a hero!"
Then he said: "His Royal Highness the Prince of Beiyuan, thank you for your compliments to me, but I will never surrender. Just give up on this!"
Ye Xian Tu Gan repeatedly persuaded him, but Lan Lian stopped talking. At this time, the person next to him said to Ye Xian Tu Gan: "Prince, it is already broad daylight."
Yexian Tugan knew that he could not persuade Lan Lian to surrender, so he sighed and said, "That's a pity, General Lan Lian. I will let someone bury your body here and set up a tombstone." Then he
Said: "Fire the arrow!"
In an instant, more than a hundred arrows were shot at Lan Lian and the four of them. Lan Lian was shot to death in an instant. But he did not fall down even after being shot to death, which shocked the Mongolian soldiers. There was still a strong Mongolian soldier.
I had the guts to push it before it fell!
Ye Xiantugan said: "Bury him, then cut a wooden board, stand it in front of the tomb, and write in Chinese characters 'Tomb of General Lanlian of the Ming Dynasty'."
The person next to him whispered: "But Prince, none of us can write Chinese characters."
Ye Xiantugan said angrily: "Then I will write it!"
In the early morning, Peng Ju, the commander of Huailai Acropolis, led three thousand-household infantrymen to the direction of Yanghe Fort to rescue Yunxi. The mighty team could be seen more than ten miles away.
Tamerlane's nephew, Mingdalan, said: "More than 3,000 people left the city again. Now there are only more than 1,000 people in the city. Our more than 3,000 warriors may not be able to break into the city. Uncle,
Hurry up and send people to attack the city."
Unexpectedly, the busy brother Timur's face became more and more ugly, and he said: "The whole army retreats, we will not fight this war anymore! We will not take anything we did first!"
