Seeing this, Hua An glanced at Wang San and Tie Niu, and rode his horse to run outside the enemy camp.

"General, there are three horsemen and horses running in the direction of Yinling City." Shortly after the trio ran out of the enemy camp, an enemy soldier noticed the anomaly.

"It must be a spy, chase me." The enemy officer with fifty men rode in pursuit.

Hua An had expected that as long as his group of three people left the enemy camp, it would definitely arouse the suspicion of the enemy soldiers, and even pursue, so he had already touched three big bows and dozens of sharp arrows from the enemy camp.

"Whoosh ......"

Hua An, Wang San, and Tie Niu, while galloping on their horses, fired arrows at the enemy troops chasing behind.

"Ahhh......h

The fifty soldiers who were chasing after the enemy on horseback were immediately hit by arrows one after another, and within a mile of pursuit, half of the soldiers were shot off their horses by three people.

The enemy officers were horrified and did not dare to pursue them any further.

Hua An and Wang San and Tie Niu rushed to the city of Yinling, and with a code, the thunderstorm and Zhao Wu who were in charge of answering immediately opened the city gate, and Hua'an rode his horse with Wang San and Tie Niu into Yinling City.

"Big brother, this fire is so big, the enemy camp is in chaos." As soon as the thunderstorm saw Hua'an, he boasted loudly.

"Without siege vehicles, see how the enemy army will attack the city tomorrow." Zhao Wu touched the spear in his hand and said loudly.

When Tie Niu heard this, he was very proud in his heart, and showed off loudly: "It's nothing to burn the enemy's camp, before leaving, we also stole three good horses, look, they are all good horses." ”

"Hahaha!" Everyone burst into laughter.

The flames of the enemy camp in the distance had not yet been extinguished, and looking at the groups of panicked black dots scurrying around the enemy camp, a faint smile appeared on the corner of Hua An's mouth.

#####

In the enemy's camp, he heard that the three spies of the Jin army had fled back to Yinling City, and the peach leopard was furious, he did not expect that only three Jin army spies would make his camp jump, and he actually fled smoothly.

But this is not the time to be angry, the camp is in chaos, and it is necessary to stabilize order immediately.

"Order, the whole battalion is on alert, all soldiers are not allowed to make noise, and those who violate the order will be beheaded." Peach Leopard ordered loudly. After speaking, he glared at a general behind him and asked loudly: "How long will it take to rebuild a batch of siege vehicles?" ”

"Back to the general, it will take about three days." The lieutenant of the baggage battalion immediately replied.

"What, it takes three days." Peach Leopard was furious and ordered fiercely: "Ben will give you a day and a half, four siege vehicles, none of which can be missing." ”

"General, I'm afraid it's too late for a day and a half!" The captain of the baggage battalion cried out repeatedly.

Peach Leopard's face raised, and he said loudly: "It's too late, you can figure out a way by yourself, and if you can't complete the task, the military law will deal with it." ”

"Yes, General, the Admiral will do his best." Seeing that there was no room for maneuver, the captain of the enemy's baggage battalion had no choice but to take it head-on.

Peach Leopard nodded with satisfaction, looked at the generals beside him, and said in a deep voice: "The generals should prepare early, and the morning after tomorrow, they must break through the Yin Tomb." ”

"Yes, General." The generals spoke in unison.

On the second day, the Peach Leopard army launched more than a dozen rounds of harassing attacks on Yinling City, and the intensity of the attack was much smaller than the previous day, which was obviously a feint.

Hua An and his soldiers guarded for a morning, and understood that the enemy's siege equipment was destroyed and not really besieged the city, so he retreated to the city wall to rest.

In Han Qian's Chinese army tent, Hua An learned that the 10,000 horses of the enemy army attacking Ximen did not attack the city as fiercely as the Peach Leopard army, but rushed to the city to harass and retreated, which was very strange, even Han Qian couldn't understand what kind of medicine was sold in the enemy's gourd.

But after all, the enemy's army of 10,000 troops surrounded the West Gate, and when the battle at the East Gate was the fiercest, Han Qian still did not dare to transfer the defenders of the West Gate to the East Gate.

Hua'an naturally couldn't figure it out, but the enemy army did not put pressure from both the east and west at the same time, which was always a good thing for the Northern Expeditionary Army.

At this time, the Yangzhou Legion and the Jingzhou Legion of the Great Jin Dynasty, after more than a month of confrontation with the enemy in front of them, finally gained the advantage, and the news came from the two armies at the same time that they would definitely divide their troops to reinforce Yinling within half a month and attack the Peach Leopard Legion.

"Master, the enemy army at the west gate is besieging but not attacking, and the siege equipment of the main force of the enemy army at the east gate has also been burned by me, we may be able to defend Yinling City for a few more days and wait for the arrival of reinforcements." Hua An said softly.

Han Qian shook his head, and said: "Peach Leopard has tens of thousands of troops, and a few siege vehicles can be built in a few days, our army is insufficient, and the city of Yinling is short, so I am afraid that we will not be able to hold on to the arrival of reinforcements." ”

As soon as he heard that the enemy army would be able to rebuild the siege vehicle in a few days, Hua An said loudly: "Master, then I will blend into the enemy camp again and burn the enemy's newly built siege vehicle. ”

Han Qian glanced at Hua An and chuckled: "The peach leopard is not a wine bag rice bag, it has been burned by you once last time, this time you must strengthen vigilance, if you want to succeed, it will be at least ten times more difficult." ”

When Hua An heard this, he felt that it made sense, so he dispelled the idea of sneaking into the enemy camp again, looked at Han Qian, and asked softly, "Master, when do you plan to retreat into Dongcheng." ”

"As soon as it gets dark tonight, the wounded and baggage will be the first to withdraw, followed by the infantry, and the last to retreat from the cavalry." Han Qian whispered.

"I'm going to retreat tonight, and the enemy has found out, what should I do if I suddenly chase after me." Hua An voiced his worries.

Han Qian pointed to the dozens of goats outside the tent and said softly: "Hanging sheep beating drums, when the peach leopard finds out, our army has already entered Dongcheng." ”

Hua An naturally listened to the story of the 'cliff drumming', and couldn't help but suddenly realize in his heart, and praised: "The master's 'golden cicada shelling' plan is used well, and it will definitely be able to hide from the peach leopard, but these dozens of little fat sheep are cheap peach leopards." ”

"Hahaha!" Both the master and apprentice burst out laughing.

#####

After dark, Han Qian ordered the people in the city to help defend the city walls, and the soldiers who were wounded in the battle, immediately set off for Dongcheng, while the soldiers of the baggage battalion were responsible for transporting important supplies back to Dongcheng.

The remaining soldiers of the Northern Expeditionary Army continued to beat drums on the city wall, with the purpose of telling Sù Taobao that Yinling City had sufficient troops, and at the same time making the enemy soldiers accustomed to the drumming of the Jin army.

About an hour later, the people and wounded soldiers had already gone away, and Han Qian ordered the infantry in the city and the five hundred men and horses garrisoned in Yinling City to set off immediately.

The remaining cavalry soldiers spread the remaining firewood and grass in the camp on the streets to deter the enemy and delay the enemy's march into the city.

Another hour passed, and it was already the third watch in the middle of the night, and Han Qian asked the soldiers of the personal barracks to tie dozens of goats to the city wall, and put a big drum on the leg of each sheep.

As soon as the soldiers let go, the tied goats kicked desperately with their feet, and the war drums were also kicked, which made it feel like dozens of soldiers were beating drums.

Han Qian was quite satisfied with it, and ordered loudly: "All soldiers, retreat immediately." After speaking, Le Ma ran towards the south gate of Yinling City.

Hua An also took nearly 200 soldiers under his command to the stables to lead the horses, preparing to withdraw from Yinling City.

"Brigade commander, what to do with these hares, it's a pity to lose them to the enemy." Or the honest soldier, who tied ten hares together with a rope and hung them on his body.

Hua An smiled indifferently, after days of fighting, he actually forgot all about the hares raised in the camp, at this time, when he was leaving, he couldn't bear to throw these cute little guys to the enemy.

"Order, each soldier take a rope, tie ten hares, and hang them on horseback, be quick." Hua An ordered loudly.

Suddenly, 200 subordinates, scrambling to catch hares with a string of ropes, and soon caught all the hares raised in the yard.

Looking at the two hundred soldiers who had returned with a full load, Hua An nodded with satisfaction and said loudly: "Target Dongcheng, go." ”

Two hundred soldiers lined up behind Hua An, riding their horses towards the south gate of Yinling City.

Outside the south gate of Yinling City, Han Qian, the chief general of the Northern Expeditionary Army, and Chen Xiong, the deputy general, watched the teams leave the south gate one after another, but they did not see the left brigade of the pro-military battalion under the command of Hua'anji, and they were suddenly a little anxious.

"This Hua'an, how did you do it, it moves so slowly." Han Qian scolded loudly.

Seeing that Han Qian was in a hurry, Chen Xiong hugged his fists and said, "General, you wait here, and the last general will go in and have a look." ”

"Driving ......"

As soon as Chen Xiong's words fell, Hua An rushed over with two hundred men and horses under his command.

When Han Qian saw Hua An, he immediately reprimanded angrily: "Hua An, why are you so rubbing, what are you doing?" ”

After speaking, he saw that there were about ten hares hanging on the horses of the soldiers under Hua'an's command, and he immediately understood that Hua'an was delaying some time in order to take away these hares.

"I don't know the severity, the enemy's 30,000 main force is just outside the east gate, and it may be killed at any time, you actually have the leisure to take these hares." Han Qian reprimanded again.

Hua An understood that what Han Qian said made sense, but the matter had already been done, and there was no way to deny it, so he hurriedly grinned and quipped: "The master has already left dozens of goats for the peach leopard, how can Hua An leave him thousands of rabbits, or take them to make rations for the soldiers!" ”

"General, these hares must taste good, hahaha!" Chen Xiong was amused by Hua An's humor.

A subtle smile flashed across the corner of Han Qian's mouth, paused, and said, "Forget it, spare you this time, withdraw quickly!" After saying that, he rode his horse and galloped south, followed by Chen Xiong.

"Driving ......"

Hua An and his 200 soldiers followed behind and rushed in the direction of Dongcheng.

#######

On the second day, as soon as the sky was bright, tens of thousands of soldiers of the Taobao battalion began to assemble, and the four siege engines were completed as scheduled and ready for use.

Peach Leopard has already made up his mind that he must capture Yinling City today no matter what.

The sound of drums from the direction of Yinling City became thinner and smaller, and the peach leopard listened to it for a long time, and always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say it for a while.

"The drums of the Jin army, how long did they ring last night?" Peach Leopard asked a soldier behind him.

The soldier hurriedly replied: "Back to General, the drums of the Jin army have not stopped, but the drums are getting smaller and smaller. ”
