The soldier rubbed his hands, shook his head again, and said softly: "Brigade commander, early this morning, I went to cut grass on a wasteland in the east of the city, and when I came back, I heard a few people talking about the heroes of 'Erlong Mountain', so I listened to some of them, and I don't know whether to talk about them or not. ”

"Heroes of Erlong Mountain, tell me about it." Hua An was somewhat interested.

The soldier replied: "Those people fled from Dangtu City, according to them, there is one in the northeast of Dangtu City." There are two heroes in the world on Erlong Mountain, these two heroes are amazing, there are nearly 10,000 warriors under their command, most of them usually stay in the mountains, and occasionally go down the mountain to punish bullies, but as long as there is an enemy attacking Dangtu City, they will kill from the mountain, drive away the enemy who invaded Dangtu, and then immediately return to the mountain, when the people of Tu regard them as protectors, this time, the Peach Leopard army invaded, and many people saw the warriors of Erlong Mountain go down the mountain, but after seeing the fall of the city, they quietly retreated into the mountain. ”

The soldiers said it freely, and Hua'an also understood a lot, the so-called heroes of Erlong Mountain are just bandits who fall into the grass in the northeast of Tucheng, but this group of bandits is very good-hearted and patriotic, but in the face of the tens of thousands of troops of the peach leopard, they still relented, otherwise, why quietly retreat to the mountains.

"Haha, it's really two big heroes, I don't know what their names are." Hua An asked with a frown.

The soldier shook his head and said, "These two great heroes never leave their names, but they call each other Brother Han and Brother Ma, presumably with the surname Han and the surname Ma.

When Hua An heard this, he immediately became more interested, these two people are just bandits near Tucheng, and they are not outsiders, why do they refuse to leave their names for doing good deeds, is there any hidden secret, or something unspeakable.

Han and Ma are both big surnames, and there are many people with the surname Han and Ma.

"Brigade commander, according to those people, when they helped defend the city wall, they had seen two great heroes lead thousands of warriors to fight against the Hu cavalry, the formation was neat, the attack and defense were orderly, it was like a regular army, and the defenders of the city were guarded by Tu, and when they saw it at first sight, they thought it was my reinforcements from the Great Jin Dynasty?" Just as Hua An frowned and pondered, the soldier said another important clue.

"The formation is neat, the offense and defense are orderly." Hua An was shocked when he heard this.

He suddenly felt that this mysterious team was definitely not an ordinary bandit, but an elite soldier who had undergone strict training.

When Tu City is in the northeast, there is actually a hidden elite army, and it is an elite soldier who hates the Hu people, which is naturally the blessing of the Great Jin Kingdom.

But Hua'an thought about it again, in addition to the Northern Expeditionary Army, Jingzhou Legion, and Yangzhou Legion, where would there be such a mysterious elite soldier in the Great Jin Kingdom? Not now, will there be before?

If this mysterious elite soldier is really the elite soldier of the Great Jin Dynasty, then these two heroes surnamed Han and Ma must be the former General Han and General Ma of the Great Jin Kingdom.

Although there are many generals in the Great Jin Kingdom, there should not be too many generals surnamed Han and Ma, Hua An carefully recalled the generals of the Great Jin Kingdom.

Thinking about it, he suddenly had a familiar feeling, and then, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he shouted: "Han Huang, Ma Xiong, are they the fierce generals under Su Jun back then, Han Huang and Ma Xiong." ”

Hua An suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, if it was really them, the mystery would be solved, first of all, the surname issue is right, and secondly, they followed Su Jun to rebel back then, and were designated as a rebel by the imperial court, and they refused to leave their names, which was also a last resort. Also, they once vigorously stated in front of Hua'an that they had a blood feud with the Hu people, attacked the Hu army many times, and it was easy to explain that they saved Dangtu City.

Thinking of this, Hua An was already sure that the two big heroes of Erlong Mountain were Han Huang and Ma Xiong, who were designed and let go by him back then, but he didn't expect that at this moment, they were near Dangtu City, more than a hundred miles away.

"Do they really have an army of nearly 10,000?" Hua An looked at the soldier and asked eagerly.

Seeing that Hua An was so excited, the soldier hurriedly replied: "Brigade commander, what the people said is so, it should not be wrong. ”

Hua An nodded, when they were let go, Han Huang and Ma Xiong had five thousand elites in their hands, and now after ten years of operation, there should be nearly 10,000 troops.

"Great, if you can convince them to reinforce the Yin Tomb, the pressure on the defenders of the city will be greatly reduced, and the pressure on the enemy troops outside the city will be greatly increased." Hua An clenched his fists as he spoke.

"The brigade commander is going to Erlong Mountain and ask for help from the two big heroes." The soldier asked.

"Yes! This may be the only chance for our army to turn defeat into victory, and you have made a great contribution. Hua An said and patted the soldier on the shoulder.

The soldier was praised and shyly lowered his head and smiled.

Hua An put down the fresh grass in his hand, turned around and walked towards the big tent of the Chinese army not far away, he wanted to tell his master Han Qian the news as soon as possible.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Han Qian was looking at the map in front of him at a loss, extreme worry filled his heart, the Jingzhou Legion and the Yangzhou Legion have not been able to break through the enemy in front of him, and they will not be able to support themselves, but the military food in the city is only enough for seven or eight days, if the reinforcements do not appear by then, the main force of the 20,000 Northern Expeditionary Army is afraid that it will suffer heavy losses, Han Qian repeatedly imagined, he even felt that it would be good to have 5,000 remnants to return to Dongcheng.

"Master, our army has been saved." Hua An went straight in.

Han Qian was worried, and when he looked up and saw Hua An rushing in, and brought good news, he was overjoyed, and blurted out: "Is there news about reinforcements?" ”

Hua An stretched out his hand, shook his head and said, "Count on them, our army has already finished playing." ”

"Since there are no reinforcements, what good news can there be, it is difficult for the peach leopard to withdraw from the army." Han Qian said listlessly, the shouting outside the city was still continuing, of course he understood that Peach Leopard had not retreated.

Hua An stepped forward, pointed to the map, and said, "Master, there is a Erlong Mountain in the northeast of Tucheng, and it is here." As he spoke, he pointed out the approximate location of Erlong Mountain.

"This is obviously Tu Mountain, when did it become Erlong Mountain." Han Qian looked at the map and said suspiciously when Tu Mountain was marked in the northeast of Tu City.

Hua An smiled indifferently and explained: "Because there are two big heroes living in this mountain, all the people in Tu City call Tu Mountain Erlong Mountain, and these two big heroes are also known to the master. ”

"Don't sell it, who is it?" Han Qian was a little displeased.

"It's Han Huang and Ma Xiong who were let go by our army ten years ago." Hua An Zhengse said.

Han Qian was taken aback and said in a lost voice: "It turned out to be them, there has been no news of them for many years, it turns out that they have been hiding in Tu Mountain." ”

Hua An nodded, carefully informed Han Qian of the ins and outs of the matter, and asked to go to Erlong Mountain to persuade Han Huang and Ma Xiong to reinforce Yinling City.

As for whether Han Huang and Ma Xiong would agree to reinforce Yinling City, Han Qian had no bottom in his heart, but of course Hua An guided them through the catastrophe after all, maybe looking at this face, they would agree to help within their ability.

"Tushan is too far away from Yinling City, and our army only has seven or eight days of military rations left, I am afraid that far water will not quench the thirst of the near, it is better to 'encircle Wei and save Zhao' to force Taobao to retreat." Han Qian looked at the map in front of him and suddenly thought of a clever plan.

"Surround Wei to save Zhao, attack and save." Hua An lost his voice.

Han Qian nodded and said: "That's right, according to the report of the spies, Peach Leopard has transferred all the main army to Yinling City, and the defenders of Dangtu City in the rear are less than two thousand, and most of the military rations of the Peach Leopard army are hoarded in Dangtu. ”

Hua'an looked up at the map, Erlong Mountain is not far northeast of Dangtu City, if thousands of troops suddenly attack Dangtu City at night, most of them will break through the city, even if the defenders are well guarded and fail to capture, but the superior forces surround Dangtu is still not a problem, and once Tu is surrounded, Peach Leopard will send at least 10,000 troops to help in the starry night, so that the defensive pressure of Yinling City will be greatly reduced, and even defeat will be turned into victory.

"Wei Wei to save Zhao, it's really a clever plan, master, send me to persuade Han Huang and Ma Xiong! I had a relationship with them. Hua An clenched his fists and pleaded.

"Haha, only you can do this, who will go if you don't go." Han Qianqing's feelings rose all of a sudden.

After the master and apprentice carefully studied the specific details of the operation, Hua An left the Chinese army's tent and went to prepare.

######

Due to the urgency of the enemy's siege of the city, the city needed enough troops to defend it, Hua'an decided to take only Lei Storm and Zhao Wu to Erlong Mountain with him, and Tie Niu, Wang San and all the soldiers under his command stayed in Yinling City to guard the city.

After sunset, the sky darkened, and the enemy troops besieging the city also temporarily retreated, Hua An, Thunderstorm, and Zhao Wu were well fed and dressed and stood by in the east gate of Yinling City, behind them were Tie Niu, Wang San, Qin Yong, and 700 soldiers of the personal battalion.

The road to Erlong Mountain inevitably passed through the enemy's camp outside the east gate, so Hua'an decided to take advantage of the darkness of night and the enemy's negligence in defense to rush through the middle of the enemy's camp, and the 700 soldiers of the pro-army camp were responsible for covering.

"Click......"

The heavy city gate slowly opened, and what greeted him was a fishy corpse, and the fierceness of the battle surprised Hua'an.

But this is not the time to sigh, Hua An raised the big knife in his hand and shouted: "Soldiers, kill a bloody road and rush to the ......"

After saying that, he and Thunderstorm and Zhao Wu rushed out first, and the seven hundred soldiers behind him, under the leadership of Captain Qin Yong, also rushed out, and soon rushed to the vicinity of the enemy camp.

The enemy troops who were burying the pot for cooking were caught off guard, and many soldiers were cut down to the ground before they could pick up their weapons, and the shouts of killing and wailing became one after another, and the enemy camp was instantly chaotic.

Hua An had no time to fight, brandished the big knife in his hand, and went straight forward to kill, followed by Thunderstorm and Zhao Wu behind him.

"General Jin is rampant and eats me with an axe." Suddenly, a captain of Zhao Guo, armed with a big axe, rode a horse to kill Hua'an.
