Three Kingdoms: Domination of the World

Chapter 101 Ran Min's Determination

Early December 184 AD

In the north, howling winds filled the air with dust. Like a surging tide, the Xianbei army of Murong Ke's 150,000-man force, divided into three groups, advanced rapidly towards Shuofang, Wuyuan, and Monan Commanderies. Generals Murong Ke, Murong Huang, and Budugen, each leading 50,000 elite troops, advanced mightily towards their targets.

"General Liu Yuan, our two armies have joined forces. We must make a concerted effort to capture Mo'nan County!" Budugen looked at Liu Yuan with a determined light in his eyes.

"General Budugen is right. We have a force of 100,000. The advantage lies with me!" Liu Yuan nodded, his face full of confidence.

"General Duan Jilujuan, lead the troops to attack the city!" Budugen gave the order and Duan Jilujuan immediately obeyed.

"I obey your command!" Duan Jilujuan drew his sword and shouted loudly.

"General Yufuluo, order the Hun warriors to attack the city!" Liu Yuan also gave the order.

The one-armed general Yu Fuluo looked at the battlefield in front of him, his heart filled with pride. He waved his whip and shouted:

"Warriors of the Xiongnu, charge for our glory!"

"Capture the city ahead. There are countless beauties and treasures there. First come, first served!"

When the Xiongnu soldiers heard Yu Fuluo's cry, their morale soared, and they rushed towards the city like a pack of hungry wolves.

On the battlefield, the cries of battle shook the earth as soldiers from both sides engaged in a fierce battle. Xianbei and Xiongnu soldiers, followed by ladders and battering rams, charged towards the walls of Mo Nan County. Han soldiers responded with bows and arrows, boulders, and kerosene. The two sides exchanged blows, neither side yielding.

"Kill! Huns!"

"Xianbei warriors! Avenge our previous humiliation! Recapture Monan County!"

.....

Yan Yan stood on the city wall, watching the battle unfold, his heart filled with anxiety. He knew that this battle was related to the safety of Mo Nan County and also to his own future. He prayed silently:

"I hope the northern counties can hold out until reinforcements arrive!"

Budugen, in the rear, directed the army's logistics. He knew the outcome of this battle depended not only on the fighting on the front lines but also on support from the rear. He constantly deployed supplies and troops to ensure the smooth progress of the battle on the front lines. Liu Yuan, in the center, commanded the entire army in its all-out assault on the city.

Monan Commandery still had 30,000 elite troops, but the 30,000 elite troops taken away by Suo Chao could not return to support them in a short time. Yan Yan fought bloody battles for many days, repelling the enemy coalition's sieges several times.

As for the nearby Shuofang and Beidi Commanderies, the military situation was less optimistic. Both regions had only 10,000 soldiers and had repeatedly sent letters to Monan Commanderie requesting assistance.

"General Yan, Generals Zhao Yun and Ran Min have sent letters asking for help. Should we send reinforcements?" Wang Jie hurried over and reported to Yan Yan.

Yan Yan frowned. He knew the importance of these two counties. They formed a triangular defense line with Monan County and could not afford to lose them. He clenched his fists, thought for a moment, and said:

"General Wang Jie, lead two thousand archers to reinforce Shuofang County!"

"I obey your command!" General Wang Jie clasped his fists, accepted the order, and turned to leave.

"General Liu Dao, you lead two thousand archers to reinforce Beidi County!" Yan Yan looked at General Liu Dao again.

"I obey your command." General Liu Dao also clasped his fists and accepted the order, then quickly led his soldiers to set off.

Yan Yan watched them leave and prayed silently in his heart:

“We must hold on to it!”

At this moment, the cries of battle reverberated across the battlefield, and the situation in Shuofang and Beidi counties grew increasingly critical. Yan Yan was consumed with anxiety, wishing he could personally lead his troops to reinforce them. However, he knew that Monan County also needed his presence and command. He could only pray silently in his heart, hoping that the two counties would hold out and wait for reinforcements.

In Beidi County, the wind was cold and the sky was filled with yellow sand.

Clad in heavy armor and wielding a long sword, Maodun Chanyu stood at the front of the battle line, gazing at the towering, sturdy walls of Beidi County, his eyes gleaming with confidence and determination. He knew full well that his elite division, after years of battle and training, had become a well-trained, well-equipped, and invincible force.

Maodun Chanyu kept waving his whip and issued passionate orders to the Xiongnu warriors behind him:

"My fellow Xiongnu! The Han army is exhausted and unable to withstand our attack. Let us charge together and capture this city!"

The Xiongnu soldiers, hearing their leader's cry, felt like a shot of adrenaline, their morale instantly soaring to a peak. They raised their weapons high, uttered earth-shaking, deafening shouts, and launched a ferocious attack on Beidi County like a surging tide.

"Kill!"

"Modun Chanyu is watching us. For the supreme glory of the Xiongnu, charge!"

At the same time, Ran Min on the city wall had a serious expression, and his eyes revealed determination and courage. Facing the Hun army that was surging like a tide and full of momentum, he was not afraid at all and was concentrating on observing the movements of the enemy.

Ran Min shouted at the top of his voice:

"Everyone, get ready. Prepare the boulders, kerosene and arrows!" His voice was loud and powerful, echoing throughout the entire city wall.

"Sword and shield soldiers, you lie in ambush on the top of the city wall and pay attention to protecting the spearmen and archers." Ran Min said as he gestured with his hands and arranged tactics to the soldiers.

"Hurry, transport all the wounded to the field clinic!" Ran Min shouted again, his tone full of concern and anxiety.

Under the command of Ran Min, the soldiers on the city wall acted quickly. Some of them carried huge stones and kerosene, while others drew their bows and arrows, ready to meet the enemy.

The sword and shield soldiers carefully ambushed on the city walls, closely watching the enemy's every move. The doctors in the field clinic were busy shuttling among the wounded, providing them with the best medical care.

The atmosphere on the city wall was tense and busy, as everyone worked hard to defend their homeland. In recent years, the five northern counties have worked together for development, and the lives of the people have gradually improved.

When the people heard that the Huns were invading, they also enthusiastically participated in this defensive battle.

Ran Min stood on the city wall, looking at the Xiongnu army in the distance, then looking back at the people below the city who were eagerly supporting him, and secretly made up his mind:

"No matter what, we must defend this city and never let the Huns succeed!" His eyes were full of firmness and determination, as if telling everyone that they would be able to defeat the enemy and defend their homeland.

After several days of bloody fighting, more than 3,000 of the 10,000 soldiers defending the city had suffered casualties, and the city walls were damaged in many places. The situation took a sharp turn for the worse and became extremely serious and dangerous.

However, Ran Min still stood firmly on the top of the city wall, constantly encouraging the soldiers to grit their teeth, continue to fight tenaciously, and bravely kill the enemy.

"Soldiers! You must hold on to the end!" Ran Min shouted at the top of his voice.
