Through the careful inventory, in the battle of Taniguchi, a total of more than 600 enemy horses, more than 100 deniers of military rations, and countless swords and bows were captured.

One of the most satisfying to Hua'an, of course, is the six hundred good war horses, in the Valley of Ten Thousand Wolves in order to escape, Hua'an's capture camp reluctantly gave up 400 war horses, but did not expect to go out of the valley in a battle, actually captured more than 600 horses, more than 200 more than the previous war horses plundered by the enemy, this is really an unexpected surprise.

At noon, all the scouts sent out had returned, and through guò investigation, they learned that Shihu's Chinese army camp had 3,000 defenders, and the guards were quite tight, and the battle situation in Dathorn City was extremely tragic, both the attackers and defenders were red-eyed, and the strong smell of blood was pungent for several miles.

"Big brother, there are 3,000 defenders in the enemy camp, and they can't be beaten." Thunderstorm asked.

Hua An shook his head and said softly: "Our army is less than a thousand, and we may not be able to capture the Shihu camp, so don't take any risks." ”

"Around the Great Thorn City, Shi Hu has more than 100,000 troops, and he can't defeat it, so let's just wait here." Iron Bull doesn't fight for a day, and it seems that his hands are a little itchy.

Hua An frowned, and said loudly: "Don't worry, the soldiers are very tired, rest for half a day first, and then make plans after dark." ”

"Yes, big brother." Tie Niu and the other four answered, and each went to rest.

Hua An took out the military book, studied it carefully, and after reading it for a long time, he finally had some eyebrows in his heart about breaking the enemy.

In the evening, after Hua An and his soldiers had eaten and drunk enough, they first rested for half an hour, and then Hua An convened a meeting of the officers above the rank and above, and conveyed the task of making nearly 2,000 cross-shaped torches.

When this task was first proposed, everyone said they didn't understand, they didn't understand what kind of medicine was sold in Hua'an's gourd, and after Hua'an explained it seriously, they understood Hua'an's good intentions.

It turned out that Hua'an wanted to scare Shi Hu with the strategy of the suspicious soldiers, and the so-called strategy of the suspicious soldiers was to let the nine hundred soldiers, each soldier hold a cross-shaped torch in each hand, and light these torches at night, so that one soldier can create the momentum of six soldiers, and nine hundred soldiers can create the momentum of a 5,000-strong army.

In order to make the Zhao army suspicious, Hua'an decided to act in the second half of the night, and let the soldiers slowly advance from the direction of the Shihu camp to the Great Thorn City, so that the Zhao soldiers mistakenly thought that the camp had been breached, so they were terrified.

The officers understood Hua'an's good intentions, so they hurriedly mobilized the soldiers under their command and hurried to make cross-shaped torches, and in less than half an hour, all the soldiers held two cross-shaped torches in their hands.

After Hua'an asked the soldiers to pour fire oil on the three burning points of the torches, he asked the soldiers to rest and accumulate their bodies.

In the middle of the night, Hua An led 900 soldiers to quietly march to Shi Hu's Chinese army camp, because the action was too dangerous, Hua An let Murong Yan and more than a dozen wounded soldiers stay at the valley mouth to wait, Murong Yan was still making noise at the beginning, and after being taught a lesson by Hua An, he honestly stayed at the valley with the wounded soldiers.

When he arrived near the camp of Zhao State, Hua An glanced at it casually, and immediately gasped, only to see at least hundreds of soldiers in the camp, patrolling back and forth with torches, and the archers on the tower also looked out from time to time, showing no signs of slacking off.

Based on experience, Hua An felt that the enemy general who stayed in the camp must be a veteran with rich battlefield experience, and with this veteran guard, the enemy general camp can be described as solid as a rock, Hua An was glad that he did not plan to attack Zhao Guo's camp, otherwise, the brothers under his command would have died miserably.

"Big brother, the enemy camp seems to be very well guarded!" Thunderstorm's mouth opened wide in start.

"Fortunately, the eldest brother had the foresight and did not give the order to attack the enemy camp." Tie Niu also felt a little afraid.

Hua An turned around, looked at the thunderstorm and the iron bull, and said softly: "Retreat, let's retreat farther away first, and then light the torches."

The rear camp of Zhao was twenty miles away from the Great Thorn City, and when Hua An led the captive camp to ten miles away from the Great Thorn City, he began to let the soldiers under his command light torches. Spread out and slowly move forward.

At this time, there is still a fierce bloody battle in the direction of the Great Thorn City, starting from the early morning, the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Zhao State have been attacking continuously for a day, and the continuous attack has caused great pressure to the Yan army defending the city, in the city, all the forces that can be mobilized have almost all been transferred to the city, even the members of the Murong family have also stuck to the city, Murong Hao and several sons have also taken command of the city from time to time, and the battle situation can be described as extremely tragic.

As soon as the new round of attack of the Zhao army was repulsed, Murong Hao and several sons went to the city to inspect the casualties, looking at the subordinates who suffered heavy casualties, Murong Hao was very anxious, but at this time, he had already torn his face with Shi Hu, and it was obviously impossible to surrender, and the only way out was to defend to the end.

"Father, the casualties of the soldiers are too great, it's time for the 'Dragon and Tiger Second Battalion' to be dispatched." Murong Jun looked at the scarred soldier beside him and said loudly.

The 'Dragon and Tiger Second Battalion' he said in his mouth was actually two elite cavalry units, the Dragon Battalion and the Tiger Battalion, and the two thousand elite cavalry were expanded on the basis of the original 300 eagle iron cavalry, with a total strength of 2,000.

These two thousand centaurs are the most elite force in Murong Hao's hands, and they will not be used unless they have to, and Murong Jun proposed to use this last force, which shows that the Great Thorn City has reached the point of danger.

Murong Hao frowned and shook his head, and said lightly: "Hold on a little longer!" The 'Dragon and Tiger Second Battalion' is good at cavalry field warfare, so it is a bit overkill for them to defend the city. ”

"But how long can we hold out, father, let's let the 'Dragon and Tiger Second Battalion' enter combat readiness!" Murong Jun built a yì road again.

"Alright! Jun'er, you immediately give an order, let all the members of the 'Dragon and Tiger Second Battalion' put on their clothes, enter the first level of combat readiness, and be ready to reinforce at any time. Murong Hao ordered loudly.

"Yes, Father." Murong Jun received the order and personally went to the city to gather the elite 2,000 men.

Shi Hu's wave of attacks was repulsed, and the next wave of attacks would come soon, Murong Hao and Murong Ke beside him subconsciously looked out of the city.

Suddenly, they found that in the rear of the enemy soldiers and horses, an army was coming, judging by the number of torches, the number was about five thousand.

Murong Hao frowned, and said in surprise: "Could it be that Shihu still has reinforcements, it seems that Jun'er is still prescient, and the second battalion of Dragon and Tiger must be reinforced." ”

But Murong Ke beside him didn't think so, judging from the formation of the five thousand men and horses, he didn't feel like Shi Hu's reinforcements, but the enemy.

Normal reinforcements should be lined up in a vertical line, while the men and horses that appear in the rear of the enemy army are obviously coming horizontally, which is an offensive posture.

"Father, these 5,000 men and horses are coming horizontally, and they are by no means Shi Hu's reinforcements, but our soldiers and horses." Murong Ke said affirmatively.

Murong Hao listened to it, and took a closer look, it was really like this, five thousand soldiers and horses were lining up in a horizontal queue, slowly marching in the direction where the army of Zhao was located. This is completely a trend to attack the army of Zhao State, is it really his own reinforcements have arrived.

"Father, the soldiers and horses led by General Mu Yugen are just five thousand, will this support soldier be General Mu Yugen." There was a hint of excitement in Murong Ke's eyes.

"Yes, that's right, it must be him, except for Mu Yugen's five thousand men and horses, our main people and horses are concentrated in Big Thorn City and Bintu, and there can be no other reinforcements." The corners of Murong Hao's mouth finally showed a hint of relief.

Although these 5,000 men and horses may not be able to break Shi Hu's army of more than 100,000, it is better to have this force than nothing, at least, he can contain part of Shi Hu's troops, and besides, this force is rushing from the direction of Shi Hu's rear camp, and Shi Hu's rear main camp may have been breached.

If this is the case, the situation is more optimistic, after all, Shi Hu's main camp has hoarded some grain and grass, without which Shi Hu's army will not be able to support it for long.

"Ke'er, you go and give an order, let the second battalion of the dragon and tiger immediately ride their horses to assemble near the west gate." Murong Hao said, with a sneer in his eyes.

"Father, I'll go." Murong Ke received the order, immediately turned around and walked down the city wall, and went to deliver the order.

After Murong Ke left, Murong Hao looked at the Zhao army under the city, and the corners of his mouth once again showed a cold smile.

######

The army of more than 100,000 troops of Zhao State continued to attack the Great Thorn City, and Shi Hu, who came to the front line, set up a temporary big tent at a position of 500 steps outside the Great Thorn City.

Looking at the soldiers under his command, who attacked for a day in a row but still failed to capture the Great Thorn City, Shi Hu suddenly became angry, and immediately pulled several generals who were ineffective in combat outside the tent and cut off their heads.

At this time, Shi Hu was reprimanding his subordinates in the temporary tent, and a small soldier hurriedly ran in and reported loudly: "Your Majesty, five thousand soldiers and horses have appeared in the rear of our army, and they are slowly coming from the direction of the main camp. ”

When Shi Hu and the generals under his tent heard this, they were all shocked, after all, only Shi Min's 3,000 soldiers and horses were left in the direction of the main camp, how could 5,000 troops suddenly appear.

Shi Huqiang calmed down and ordered loudly: "Immediately send an order and send a team of scouts to investigate." ”

The little soldier clenched his fists and withdrew from the big tent, and soon, seven or eight Zhao scouts held torches and rode towards Hua'an's begging camp.

Seeing the enemy scouts rushing towards him, Hua An smiled lightly at the corner of his mouth, and asked the nine hundred soldiers under his command to stop and stand by, while he himself and Lei Storm, Zhao Wu, Wang San, and Tie Niu, a total of five horsemen, armed with ordinary torches, rushed towards the enemy scouts.

"Hiss ......"

Hua An and the other five horsemen and seven or eight Zhao State scouts stopped when they were more than a dozen paces apart.

"Who are you, report your name?" Zhao Guo's scout saw that Hua'an and the others were not his own, and asked loudly.

Hua An smiled indifferently and said loudly: "Ears up, listen, this general is Hua An, the commander of the Jinyan coalition army, your camp has been broken by our army, go back and tell Sù Shihu and let him surrender immediately, hahaha!" Hua An laughed loudly after speaking.
