Chapter 151: Temptation
When Tucheng was breached, the news that the 10,000 denier army rations had fallen into the hands of the enemy spread among the Peach Leopard army, and this negative news was a great blow to the morale of the army.
In particular, the right-wing corps in charge of the palace, when the Tucheng was breached, the grain and grass were cut off, and they had to stay alone to resist twice the Jin army, they felt very frightened, and deserters began to appear in the army.
The Jin army defending Yinling City, as soon as they heard that the enemy's rear road was robbed, their morale suddenly doubled, and they were ready to go out of the city to kill for a while.
"Soldiers, the enemy's rear road has been cut off, it is a good opportunity for our army to attack, you and the general will fight out of the city together, and completely annihilate the enemy army." Han Qian finished gathering his men and horses and loudly boosted morale.
"Fight out of the city and annihilate the enemy."
"Fight out of the city and annihilate the enemy."
The officers and men of the Northern Expeditionary Army, who had been suppressed by the enemy for many days and had never been able to raise their heads, suddenly became full of morale and shouted to be killed out of the city.
"Open the gates and pursue the enemy." Han Qian drew his sword and gave the order to attack.
Suddenly, the city gate slowly opened, and 16,000 soldiers of the Northern Expeditionary Army stepped out of the city gate on the corpse of the enemy, and soon assembled in the open space five miles outside the city.
More than five miles ahead, there is the right wing army behind the enemy's palace, Han Qian glanced at the soldiers and shouted: "Soldiers, there is the enemy in front, kill ......"
"Kill ......"
Sixteen thousand soldiers, cavalry in front and infantry behind, shouted and killed the enemy in front of them.
The enemy army was in charge of the right flank of the rear of the palace, and when he saw that the Northern Expeditionary Army was really coming, he suddenly felt a little desperate in his heart, the disadvantage of the troops was secondary, but the low morale was fatal.
The enemy soldiers who had long lost their fighting spirit looked at the surging Northern Expeditionary Army, and suddenly looked at each other, but the military order was like a mountain, and at this moment, there was no other choice than to fight the trapped beast.
"Soldiers, the main force of General Tao will definitely come back to support us, fight with the Jin army, and kill ......" The enemy officer shouted to boost morale.
The military order to "kill ......" was like a mountain, and the enemy's 8,000 soldiers bravely launched a counter-charge against the Northern Expeditionary Army.
"Kill, kill, kill, kill ......"
"Bang ......"
"Uh...... Ah......h
The sound of fighting, the impact of swords, and the screams of wounded soldiers were intertwined, and a tragic scene of fighting was staged ten miles outside the north gate of Yinling City.
The difference in strength and morale was undoubted, and in less than half an hour of the battle, 2,000 of the enemy's 8,000 soldiers were killed, and the remaining 6,000 soldiers began to disperse, and the enemy army had collapsed.
"The enemy army is scattered, and the fleeing enemy is pursued." Seeing that the enemy army was defeated, Han Qian began to flee north, and loudly ordered the pursuit.
"Chase and kill the fleeing enemy, chase and kill the fleeing enemy." More than 10,000 soldiers of the Northern Expeditionary Army shouted while chasing and killing.
The terrified enemy army routed, like a lost dog, and fled north with its tail between its legs, throwing away weapons, armor, shields, and everything that could be thrown away.
The 'lightly armed' enemy soldiers gradually shook off the infantry of the Northern Expeditionary Army, but the 2,000 cavalry of the Northern Expeditionary Army took advantage of it, and they rode their horses to pursue the enemy army, and easily killed the enemy infantry who had no ability to resist.
After chasing and wailing all the way, after the officers and men of the Northern Expeditionary Army pursued for 20 miles continuously, most of the enemy's right flank corps was annihilated, and only more than 1,000 cavalry escaped.
Han Qian led the Northern Expeditionary Army to return to the city in triumph, burying the corpses, repairing the city defenses, and urging grain and grass.

When Tu was in the city, Han Huang and Ma Xiong used half of the men and horses, and after a day and a night of crazy transportation, they transported all the military supplies hoarded in the city back to Erlongzhai.
Watching the last batch of supplies slowly march towards the cottage, Han Huang and Ma Xiong's hearts felt extremely happy, these materials are what they are extremely eager for, because they are bandits, the sword is broken, the food is gone, no one will supplement them, they must rely on their own strength to snatch or produce, and robbing the Hu people's materials is the most painful for them, because they hate the Hu people.
On the city wall of Tucheng, Han Huang, Ma Xiong and a group of subordinates were enjoying the surrounding scenery, Hua An and Lei Storm, and Zhao Wu were also accompanied by them, looking at the beautiful scenery around them, everyone's mood was extremely comfortable.
"Brother Han, the supplies have been shipped, and it's getting dark, let's go back to Erlongzhai as soon as possible!" Ma Xiong looked at Han Huang and said.
Han Huang touched the female wall in front of him, and said leisurely: "I haven't stood on the city wall for more than ten years, stay for a while!" ”
Ma Xiong was silent when he heard this, since more than ten years ago, the army was defeated and entered Tushan to take refuge, and it was true that he had not climbed the city wall for ten years, looking at the familiar city wall in front of him, he also had a feeling in his heart that he had not been seen for a long time.
Hua An looked at the two of them with nostalgic expressions, and thought to himself, these two people are still quite nostalgic for their military careers, but as rebel generals, they can never go back, in fact, in their hearts, they still hope to return to the court.
"The two village owners are both heroes today, have you ever thought about returning to the court and becoming a general of the Great Jin." Hua An opened his mouth tentatively.
Han Huang and Ma Xiong were stunned when they heard this, and then smiled indifferently.
"We are all traitors to the imperial court, others don't know, isn't it clear to Brother Hua? The court can't afford to wait. Han Huang said indifferently.
Hua An could judge from Han Huang's tone that they still hoped to return to the imperial court in their hearts, and their speculation was indeed correct, so Zhengse said: "The things of the year have passed, and now, the two village owners have broken through the enemy army, broken through Dangtu, and relieved the siege of the Northern Expeditionary Army. ”
"Little Brother Hua is still too young, many things in the imperial court are not very clear, we are all the henchmen of General Su back then, and it is not a problem for the imperial court to accept these nearly 10,000 people, but we will not let us go." Ma Xiong also disagrees with Huaan's view.
"Yu Liang, who forced General Su to enter Beijing back then, is holding the power of the imperial court at this time, and we will not be able to escape Yu Liang's poisonous hand when we return to the imperial court." Han Huang said, a slight anger on his face.
Hua An saw that the two of them had such a prejudice against the imperial court, and it was not easy to force it anymore, so he smiled indifferently: "As long as the two village owners have an anti-Hu heart, it is the same whether they return to the court or not. ”
Han Huang and Ma Xiong were quite happy when they heard this.
"If in the future, a reasonable figure like Little Brother Hua is in charge of the imperial court, we will definitely be attached." Han Huang praised Hua'an loudly.
"The master of Hanzhai has won the award, and Hua'an doesn't dare to be it." Hua An hurriedly said politely.
"The owner of the village, the main force of the enemy army is here." While Hua An was chatting with Han Huang and Ma Xiong, a scout sent out earlier rushed over.
