The enemy lieutenant leaned out and looked down carefully, although the soldiers under the city were holding torches, but they still couldn't see clearly, but the banners and the soldiers' armor were not wrong, at least on the surface, there was no big difference from before.

Since the prisoner made a trembling sound, Hua An had a premonition that something was wrong, and at this time, seeing the captain on the city gate leaning out and looking down, his heart was even more anxious.

However, Hua'an and the rest of the soldiers all have a southerly accent, which is different from the accent of the enemy's baggage soldiers, and they only need to open their mouths.

The thunderstorm next to him, Zhao Wu lives near Yecheng all the year round, and his accent is right, Hua An hurriedly glanced at the two.

"Open the door, open the gates." Zhao Wu understood and called the door loudly.

Thunderstorm also shouted: "Damn, open the door quickly and let Lao Tzu in." ”

"Bang bang."

More than a dozen soldiers at the front of the team kicked the city gate with their feet.

The enemy captain at the head of the city heard the familiar shouting and scolding, and the doubts in his heart suddenly weakened a lot, and he looked down at the city again, but he still didn't find anything unusual, and after thinking for a while, he suddenly felt that he must be too suspicious.

"Open the gates." The enemy lieutenant gave an order to the soldiers under the city.

The soldier understood and hurriedly pushed open the city gate.

"Click."

With a piercing click, the gates were slowly pushed open.

Hua'an made a move, and a thousand soldiers drove towards the city as if nothing had happened.

"No, it's an enemy." An enemy soldier noticed the anomaly and shouted and pulled out his weapon from his waist.

But at this moment, it was too late to find out the abnormality, and before he could come forward to fight, Hua An raised his sword and killed him, and the two thousand soldiers who were hiding in the baggage cart, and the one thousand soldiers who were driving, also immediately picked up their weapons and killed the enemy soldiers near the city gate.

There were only a few dozen enemy soldiers under the city wall, and they were quickly slaughtered, and the enemy lieutenant guarding the city wall was dumbfounded when he saw it, and hurriedly commanded the only dozens of soldiers on the city to release arrows to the city, and at the same time alerted the defenders in the city.

A sharp arrow swept past Hua An's cheek, and the strong wind brought up shocked Hua An into a cold sweat, but the dozen or so soldiers in front of him were not so lucky, and they fell to the ground in an instant.

"Thunderstorm, Zhao Wu, follow me to the head of the city." Hua An glanced at the city, picked up a wooden plank on the baggage cart, and killed the city wall against the enemy's arrow rain.

Thunderstorm and Zhao Wu followed closely behind Hua An, followed by hundreds of village soldiers, and the remaining more than 2,000 village soldiers rushed towards Dangtu City.

The height of the city wall was less than a zhang, and Hua An ran up the steps for more than a dozen steps before climbing the city wall.

The enemy captain on the city wall saw Hua An boarding the city wall, and hurriedly raised the spear in his hand to stab Hua An in the chest, Hua An dodged sideways, took advantage of the situation to hold the enemy captain's spear with one hand, and raised a kick to kick the enemy captain out of five or six steps away.

Then Thunderstorm and Zhao Wu, who climbed the city wall, immediately rushed forward with their spears horizontally and killed the enemy captain who fell to the ground, and a large number of soldiers who poured into the city shouted to kill the enemy troops on the city wall.

There were only a few dozen enemy soldiers on the city wall, and where could they resist the hundreds of soldiers who had been prepared, and after a burst of slashing, dozens of enemy soldiers were all killed.

"Big brother, the city gate has been controlled by us, send a signal!" Thunderstorm reminded.

Hua An picked up a torch from the city wall, raised it high, and shook it left and right in the direction of the main force of Erlongzhai outside the city.

Soon, a large number of torches were lit in the distance, which indicated that Han Huang and Ma Xiong had received their signal and were leading their main forces to rush here.

"The main army will arrive later, and everyone will follow me into the city." Hua An shouted loudly and led Thunderstorm, Zhao Wu and hundreds of soldiers to kill the enemy camp in Dangtu City.

In addition to the hundreds of defenders of the four city gates, the remaining more than 1,000 enemy soldiers were resting in the camp of Dangtu City, and after receiving the early warning from the captain of the city gate, they hurriedly picked up their weapons and quickly assembled, preparing to kill the city gate.

The enemy army has not yet been assembled, more than 2,000 soldiers in the vanguard of Erlongzhai have been killed to the big camp, they are not only twice as strong as the enemy, the combat power is not weaker than the enemy, as soon as the two armies come into contact, the enemy army in a disadvantaged force will be pressed back, but the enemy soldiers are well-trained after all, and they quickly stabilized their positions from the panic.

The defenders of the eastern, western, and northern gates received the warning and sent reinforcements to the direction of the camp as quickly as possible, leaving only a dozen soldiers to guard the city gates.

When Hua'an led hundreds of soldiers to the enemy camp, more than 1,000 enemy soldiers had already formed a relatively tight defensive formation, ready to fight the trapped beasts.

"Fang Yuan Array." Hua An sneered at the corner of his mouth, and said loudly: "Thunderstorm, Zhao Wu, follow me to break through this formation." After saying that, he clenched his broadsword with both hands, rode his horse and killed the enemy, and hundreds of soldiers followed closely.

"Kill." Hua An leaned forward, raised his broadsword to cut off all the spears stretched out in the enemy's formation, and smashed all the enemy's shields in front of him, and then rode his horse over the enemy's body and killed into the enemy's formation.

Thunderstorm, Zhao Wu and hundreds of soldiers followed, tore open a gap, entered the enemy formation, and slaughtered the enemy army.

The enemy's formation had been broken, and it could no longer organize effective resistance, so it suddenly collapsed and fled in the direction of the north gate, and the defenders of the east, west, and north gates, who rushed to reinforce after hearing the news, also broke up.

"Chase and kill the fleeing enemy, kill the ......" Hua An roared, and rode his horse to chase after him.

Lei Storm, Zhao Wu, and nearly 3,000 soldiers raised their weapons and chased after them, until they reached the north gate of Dangtu City, and saw the scattered enemy troops fleeing out of the city, before collecting their troops and returning.

At this time, Han Huang and Ma Xiong had already led the main force of 7,000 men and horses into the city, and they were very happy to see that the soldiers and horses who were responsible for opening the city gate had defeated the enemy army.

"Haha, I knew that the enemy army was so vulnerable, we only had 5,000 men and horses." As soon as Han Huang was happy, he laughed out loud.

Ma Xiong waved his hand, pointed at Hua An, and said with appreciation: "If it weren't for the little brother Hua, who came up with Li Daitao's plan, with three thousand men and horses, how could he capture the city so lightly." ”

Han Huang nodded, looked at Hua An, and said loudly: "Thanks to Little Brother Hua, otherwise, my brothers in Erlongzhai would have suffered tragic casualties." ”

Hua An hugged his fists and said politely: "Where, where, it is the righteous act of the two village masters, who helped me a great favor of the Northern Expeditionary Army, and now, when the peach leopard hears that Dangtu has been broken, he will definitely withdraw immediately, and the siege of Yinling will soon be lifted." ”

"Haha." Han Huang and Ma Xiong were complimented by Hua An and laughed out loud for a while.

Soon, the soldiers in charge of counting the casualties reported to Han Huang and Ma Xiong the casualties of both the enemy and us, when the battle of Tucheng was a battle, a total of more than 600 enemy troops were annihilated, and more than 1,000 people annihilated by the ambush baggage team, together nearly 2,000 enemy troops were annihilated, and after the two battles, the casualties of the village soldiers were only a few hundred, and the casualties were less than 100, which can be described as a complete victory.

More than 1,000 remnants of the enemy army fled from Dangtu City, leaving behind 10,000 deniers of military rations and countless military supplies, which of course became the trophies of Erlongzhai.

Han Huang and Ma Xiong immediately ordered the soldiers to load all the 10,000 deniers of military rations in Tucheng into the captured baggage carts and transport them back to the cottage overnight, while the remaining soldiers carefully cleaned up the large number of military supplies left by the enemy to see what was useful and prepared to bring them back to the cottage.

Swords, spears, shields, bows, arrows, armor, and so on are all good things, each of which makes the soldiers covetous, these materials are too much, and they will definitely not be able to transport much with manpower, and they can only be transported by waiting for the return of the baggage team that transports military rations.

After all, in the era of war, food is the most important, and these weapons can only be transported after the grain is transported, and the hay and wood used for burning the fire are not needed, and there are some near the cottage.

Hua'an originally thought that Han Huang and Ma Xiong only cared about the 10,000 denier military rations in Dangtu City, and after transporting the military rations, they were preparing to build a military army to the south to attack the Peach Leopard army, but unexpectedly, they became interested in these military supplies again, and these military supplies were piled up, and they could not be transported in two or three trips.

The mountain road is rugged and difficult to travel, but I am afraid that before they can finish transporting these military supplies, the army of peach leopards has already been killed, so they will be passive.

A thief is a thief, he is greedy for anything, Hua An shook his head helplessly, at this time, he can only take one step at a time.

#######

Early the next morning, the enemy soldiers who escaped from Dangtu City told the news of the loss of Dangtu to the peach leopard, and when the peach leopard learned the news, he immediately broke his heart and gall, and if he didn't support him left and right, he fell into the big tent.

The back road was cut off, the military rations fell into the hands of the enemy, and Taobao had no other way but to gather the generals to discuss the withdrawal of the army.

"General, when Tu is lost, our army should immediately retreat." A ministry will build a yì road.

"Retreat rashly, what should I do if the Jin army in Yinling City is killed, at least one soldier and horse must be left to block the pursuit of the Jin army." Another general voiced concern.

"Dad, it's better to leave 10,000 soldiers and horses to block the Jin army, and the main force will immediately return to Dangtu." Momoro also expressed his opinion.

The situation was urgent, and Tao Leopard did not have much time to think carefully, seeing that most of the generals' opinions were to withdraw immediately, so it was decided that the main army attacking the north gate and the left wing army attacking the east gate should immediately open and return to Dangtu City, while the right wing army attacking the west gate was responsible for dragging the Jin army that might go out of the city to pursue, and at the same time, the three thousand cavalry outside the south gate were also transferred back.

After several days of bloody battles, the casualties of the Peach Leopard army were more than 5,000, and Han Qian's Northern Expeditionary Army also suffered 3 or 4,000 casualties, which can be described as extremely tragic.

Tao Leopard led the main army of 30,000 to kill back to Dangtu, leaving only more than 8,000 people on the right flank, and the Northern Expeditionary Army in Dangtu City was more than twice as strong as the enemy's right flank corps, and had an absolute advantage over the enemy.

The movement of the retreat of the Peach Leopard army soon reached Han Qian's ears, Han Qian was very happy when he heard it, and he judged that it must be Hua'an who persuaded Han Huang and Ma Xiong of Erlong Mountain to lead their troops to capture Dangtu City.

Therefore, Han Qian immediately gathered all the soldiers of the Northern Expeditionary Army who were capable of fighting in the city, and prepared to go out of the city to pursue the enemy.
