In the afternoon of the second day, Han Huang and Ma Xiong gathered nearly 10,000 horses in the village and marched towards Dangtu City in the southwest direction.

In less than an hour, the army rushed to a forest fifteen miles outside the south gate of Dangtu City, because it was still early, the convoy of the Peach Leopard army to transport supplies had not returned, so Han Huang decided to hide the army in the woods until he saw the supply convoy return and then raid Dangtu City.

Hua An raised his head, looked at Dangtu City in the distance, and estimated in his heart that if it was a frontal raid, with nearly 10,000 horses from Erlong Village, of course, he could break through the city, but the loss would not be small.

After all, there are nearly 2,000 enemy troops defending the city, and the average number of soldiers in each of the four gates is less than 500, and there should only be more than 100 soldiers on duty at each gate, but once the enemy finds the soldiers and horses of Erlongzhai, the soldiers in the city will definitely come to reinforcements immediately.

If you can quickly eliminate the more than 100 enemy troops guarding the south gate before the enemy reinforcements arrive, and rush into Dangtu City, then the casualties may be much smaller.

Han Huang and Ma Xiong were discussing how to attack the city after dark, but after discussing for a long time, there was no strategy that could greatly reduce casualties, it was nothing more than to launch a surprise attack by taking advantage of the night.

The effect of the surprise attack depends on the vigilance and reaction speed of the enemy, if the enemy is unprepared and slow to react, the casualties of the surprise attack will be very small, otherwise, the casualties will be large.

When there was an open field outside the south gate of Tu City, even under the cover of night, as long as the army rushed to a position two hundred steps away from the city gate, the defenders on the city wall would definitely find it and give an early warning, unless all the soldiers defending the city were asleep.

If you can run to the city quietly, without being discovered by the enemy soldiers, or even break the city gates, then the casualties are almost negligible.

"Brother Han, there are 2,000 cavalry in my village, if the enemy convoy enters the city, it suddenly comes out from behind, maybe you can rush into the city gate." Ma Xiong looked at Dangtu City in the distance and built a road.

"I'm afraid that as soon as our cavalry comes out, the enemy troops defending the city will find out, and the city gate will definitely be closed immediately, and the enemy army will not care about these empty cars." Han Huang shook his head.

When Ma Xiong heard this, he frowned and said: "In this way, our army had no choice but to attack by surprise, and the casualties must be not small." ”

Han Huang was silent.

Hua'an, who was also thinking about how to break the enemy, listened to the conversation between the two, and suddenly felt that he could make a fuss on the enemy's empty car. ”

"Li Dai Tao stiff." Han Huang and Ma Xiong glanced at each other and said in unison: "Clever plan, this plan is feasible." ”

"Order the whole army to set up an ambush in the place where the enemy convoy must pass in front, and be sure to completely annihilate the enemy army." Han Huang conveyed the order to the subordinates beside him.

"Yes, don't worry, you will not let an enemy slip through the net." A group of subordinates expressed their determination.

A moment later, nearly 10,000 troops from Erlongzhai quietly advanced to the predetermined position, and soon set up an ambush in the place where the enemy convoy must pass.

This place is twenty miles away from Dangtu City, and it is impossible for the defenders of Dangtu City to see or hear what may happen here.

In the evening, the sky was a little dark, and a breeze blew, which made people feel a little chilly, but all the soldiers of the village remained motionless and hidden, for fear of making a noise and arousing the vigilance of the enemy.

Hua An stood on a hill, looking into the distance, closely watching the movement in the distance, the sky was getting darker and darker, but the enemy's convoy still did not appear, which made everyone feel extremely anxious, wait! At this point, what better way could there be than waiting.

Soon, the sky darkened completely, the moon rose in the east, and just when everyone thought that the enemy convoy might not come tonight, a fiery dragon appeared in the distance.

The fire dragon was approaching, and soon it was possible to see little by little the light of the torches, and judging by the number, there were at least a thousand torches, and it was clear that this must be the enemy's baggage convoy.

"The enemy convoy is coming, all armed, all the archers are wound." Han Huang and Ma Xiong conveyed orders downwards in turn.

Soon, nearly 10,000 troops were ready for battle, and they could attack immediately after the enemy entered the ambush circle.

The enemy's baggage convoy was getting closer and closer, and soon entered the ambush circle, tired for a day, and the already exhausted baggage soldiers walked forward listlessly, completely unaware of the abnormality ahead.

"Shoot the arrows." Han Huang roared, and suddenly, thousands of sharp arrows shot at the enemy's baggage soldiers from the darkness, and the enemy's baggage soldiers were caught off guard and immediately fell to the ground.

After a few rounds of arrow rain, more than half of the enemy's baggage soldiers were killed and wounded, and then nearly 10,000 troops raised their weapons and killed the enemy convoy.

As soon as the two sides came into contact, the enemy's baggage soldiers were crushed, and those who resisted boldly were hacked to death with knives, and the timid ones immediately went to the bottom of the baggage cart to hide.

Hua'an and Thunderstorm, Zhao Wu held weapons, before they could cut an enemy, the battle was over, and they simply cleaned up the battlefield, and killed more than 1,000 enemy baggage soldiers in this battle, captured more than 20 people, and captured more than 1,000 baggage vehicles, which can be described as a great victory.

After cleaning the battlefield, Han Huang immediately selected 1,000 soldiers, changed into the armor of the enemy's baggage soldiers, and selected another 2,000 soldiers to hide in the baggage cart, ready to go to earn the gate of Dangtu City.

In order to let the enemy troops defending the city open the city gate, Hua An Jian asked the twenty enemy soldiers who were captured to be responsible for opening the city gate, while Hua An himself, Lei Storm and Zhao Wu led a group of village soldiers to hold them hostage next to the captured baggage soldiers to prevent them from playing tricks.

Han Huang and Ma Xiong discussed it and agreed,

So, Hua An took a group of people and horses, escorted the captured enemy baggage soldiers, lit torches, and marched towards Dangtu City in the distance.

#####

When Tu City was at the south gate, the soldiers guarding the city glanced down at the city wall, and saw that the baggage battalion carrying supplies had returned, and hurriedly reported the situation to the captain on duty.

The enemy captain came out of the city gatehouse, yawned, glanced down, and casually asked, "Why did you come back so late today?" ”

When the soldiers under the city heard this, their hearts suddenly tightened, and they didn't know how to answer, so they could only be silent.

Hua An put a dagger on the waist of an enemy prisoner and threatened: "Sue him, just say that the road is delayed." ”

The enemy captives did not dare to resist, and shouted tremblingly: "Road... On the road... Delayed. ”

When the enemy captain on the city wall heard it, he felt that it was wrong, usually a group of impatient voices, urging to open the door, and even scolding his mother, there was absolutely no trembling sound.
