The sun has risen above the head and is shining on people, making them feel hot.
Hunter Wang Xiao stood in front of everyone, holding a spear, motionless, like a sculpture. The soldiers behind him had been waiting for an hour or two. Their mouths were dry and many of them were unable to stand. However, Wang Xiao in front could not move, and no one dared to move.
Xie Linong licked his lips and whispered to Wang Xiaolie: "Xiaoshe people, it's almost noon, and the Jin people haven't come back yet. I guess they won't come back today. They followed Ding Jin, and maybe they occupied Gong County. Rest there.”
Wang Xiaolie said: "We have made a lot of preparations and cannot give up halfway! No matter what, we have to wait until dark. If the Jin people don't come back, we will find a small road tomorrow. We will go back to Ruzhou and make plans again."
Xie Linong nodded and stopped talking.
The habit at this time is to have two meals a day and no meal at noon. A group of soldiers stood in the middle of the road. They didn't feel hungry, but they were a little unable to stand after a long time. Most of them were originally from the countryside in Ruzhou. As Wang Ru came to serve as the king, they had neither formal military training nor any serious battles. How could they get used to this? But Wang Xiaolie was motionless in front of him, so he had no choice but to hold it back.
In fact, how does Wang Xiaolie know how to fight? I just based on what I read in books and movies and TV shows in my previous life, plus my own thoughts, to form an array here.
The Jin army didn't know when they would come back. With such an array, it would be difficult for any strong army to hold on. Normally, Wang Xiaolie should send out reconnaissance cavalry to keep track of the Jin army's movements at any time. The troops arrayed here are just occupying positions and do not need to wear armor or weapons. If there is any movement, be ready for battle at any time according to the general's military orders.
Looking up at the sun in the sky, Wang Xiaolie felt a little dizzy. With his own enthusiasm, after the soldiers were ready, they were the first to stand at the front of the team. But I didn't expect the Jin army to wait until it came, and after an hour or two, it became a little bit unbearable.
Watching the sun streaking across the sky, Wang Xiaolie licked his chapped lips, unable to hold on any longer. Just when he was about to tell everyone to disband and take a rest, there was suddenly a sudden sound of horse hooves.
Xie Linong on the side suddenly raised his head and shouted: "Xiao Sheren, the golden man is here!"
Wang Xiaolie cheered up, looked up in the east direction, nodded heavily, and said nothing.
At this time, in this place, it is difficult to see horses except Jin Bing. Hunter Wang Xiao held the spear tightly, feeling a little nervous and a little excited. After a lot of hard work, I finally reached this moment.
With the sound of hoofbeats, five fast horses came down the road like wind. He stopped a hundred steps away from Wang Xiaolie's formation. Wang Xiaolie could see clearly that it was the Jin Army Rangers immediately.
The five people stopped their horses on the road and looked ahead in silence for a while. Then someone said: "What a mischief! We are chasing the Song army in front, why is there someone coming out from behind? In the past few months, we have been coming and going around here several times. Even if there is something wrong, The tough Song people are also on the mountain, where can they dare to come down?"
Another person said: "Who knows where it came from? Maybe he came from Kaifeng Mansion with the Song Army a few days ago. Ignore him, let's go back and report to the leader. We really can't take a detour."
The person in front said: "This is Liangjing Avenue. Where is it so easy to get around?"
Several people talked for a while, then turned their horses' heads and turned back. Although the Song army blocked the road ahead, they didn't panic.
Seeing the five golden men returning, Wang Xiaolie said, "What's going on? Could it be that the golden men saw that we were blocking the road and stopped coming?"
Xie Linong said: "These five people seem to be their scouts, and they want to go back and forth to report the news. Xiaoshe people don't need to worry, this is the highway between the two capitals, and the Jin people can't avoid it."
Wang Xiaolie nodded and said nothing.
In fact, there are many things that I don't understand, and this is the case in war. Although they have been fighting for a long time since their father came out, this team has never experienced a serious battle. Wang Xiaolie was in the team. He had no war experience and no one had taught him.
How come there is no scout cavalry in a normal march? The army is going out, and there are vanguards in front of it. For a team like Ding Jin's, being able to hold the soldiers together and prevent them from scattering is their only skill, so they won't pay attention to this. These Jin troops, even if they were rangers, still had scouts in front.
Not long after the five people returned, they heard the rumble of hoofbeats on the road. In the sky full of yellow sand, fifty golden army knights appeared in sight.
Wang Xiaolie licked his lips, clenched his spear, and looked around.
The soldiers in the formation were already exhausted, and they only cheered up again when they saw the golden man coming. Not far away from him were the only dozen horses in the army. Because most of Wang Xiaolie and the leader were here, the horses were tied here.
Dozens of steps away from the front of the formation, there is a newly built Juma. Although it looks crude, it should be enough to stop the Jin army.
In the early morning, the fifty Jin army only fired a few rounds of arrows and dispersed Ding Jin's two thousand army. Wang Xiaolie had a deep memory. To defend against cavalry, the simplest and most effective way is to resist the horse. There is a forest on the mountain next to it. The trees are cut down, both ends are sharpened, and several branches are tied together to make a horse. If the Jin army is coming, these rows of resisting horses must be moved away.
Is the dismounted Jin Army still scary? Wang Xiaolie sneered. No matter how bad the Song army was, wouldn't they come forward to fight in a group? Without the flexible maneuvering brought by the horses, the golden soldiers are not terrible.
Wu Yan held the horse reins in his hand and frowned as he looked at the Juma in front and the Song army's formation behind the Juma. The Jin's bows and arrows had a short range, and the dozens of steps between Juma and the military formation were enough to block them. Without horses, without bows and arrows, how can we fight this battle?
A soldier said: "Lang Jun, it's getting late, why should we fight against the Song people? Find a place to wait until dark, and we can go around in the dark. The army has returned north, we can't delay here any longer."
Wu Yan said: "This is the Avenue of the Two Capitals, and it is not easy to go around it. We are not familiar with the geography, and if we are not careful, we fall into the trap of the Song people. What should we do? Looking at the Song people in front of us, we don't know Where are these country soldiers from? They don’t even have armor on them, so there’s no need to be afraid of them.”
The soldiers next to him echoed: "Mr. Lang is right. Don't be afraid of them! Even if you dismount, you can kill them!"
Wuyan nodded: "That's right. First, search the nearby village to see if there are any ambush soldiers from the Song Dynasty. If not, send someone to dismount and move the horses away from the front, and kill these people!"
All the golden soldiers cheered loudly. At that moment, a dozen people separated and headed towards the nearby village.
When Wang Xiaolie saw it over there, he couldn't help but scream. I originally wanted to form an array on the road and force the Jin people into the village, but I didn't want the Jin people to go into the village to search first. What should I do? He hesitated for a moment.
At this moment, I heard several drums ringing in the village, and a chaotic fight broke out.
Cao Zhiyan led a hundred people to ambush in the village, and he was already waiting anxiously. When you see the golden man entering the village, how can you hold back? After beating the drum a few times, he waved a big horse in his hand and led his men to kill.
More than a dozen cavalry Jin soldiers quickly withdrew from the village and gathered with the rest of the Jin soldiers. Wuyan said loudly: "These Song people are very cunning! They formed an array outside, but set up an ambush in the village! If we hadn't gone into the village to inquire, we would have gone against their will!"
After saying that, he reined in his horse and waved his hand: "We have few soldiers, and the Song people set up an ambush early. We can't stay here for a long time! My sons, follow me and retreat ten miles away, and then think of a way!"
All the golden men agreed and shouted loudly. Separate ten or twenty people behind, watch the Song army, and slowly retreat towards the way they came.
When Wang Xiaolie saw it, his mouth felt dry and his head was buzzing. I have worked hard and thought I was fully prepared, but I don't want the golden man to retreat calmly. How can I be willing to do so? Suddenly blood surged up, and he suddenly raised the spear in his hand and said sternly: "There are only fifty barbarian soldiers who can move freely among me, as if they were in no man's land! I let you go today, how can you behave like a human being!" "
After saying that, he picked up the spear and walked quickly to the horse tied next to him. He untied his horse, got on his horse, and rushed forward with a sudden rush.
Xie Linong and Shao Ling next to them were startled. He didn't have time to say anything, so he took a few close followers with him, rushed over to untie the remaining horses, and followed Wang Xiaolie closely.
Wuyan heard the movement and turned around to see a knight from Song's army bypassing Juma and charging straight towards him. Behind, there are more than a dozen riders. She couldn't help but smile, took out her own bow, and said, "Zhi Niang, these Song people are here! Let's see if I kill the guy in front of me with one arrow!"
After saying that, he stretched his bow and nocked an arrow, and shot at Wang Xiaolie.
Wang Xiaolie's soul has traveled back and forth for thousands of years, everything was so sudden, and he still hasn't completely woken up. Many things are not well thought out at all. In the world a thousand years later, the Song Dynasty was defeated by the newly established Jin people, which was a great shame. Wang Xiaolie instinctively felt that he should not be like the people in history. He should lead others to pick up the sword and have a real sword-and-gun fight with the Jin man. Given how big the Song Dynasty was, what reason was there for it to be inferior to the Jin people?
Relying on the half-empty knowledge in his memory, he set up a circle of encirclement. As a result, the Jin man took one look and left. How could Wang Xiaolie accept it? Regardless, he picked up his gun and chased away.
After bypassing the horse, Wang Xiaolie was about to urge the horse to hurry up. Suddenly, I felt a sharp pain in my chest. When he looked down, he saw a golden arrow stuck in his armor and swinging there. I was stunned for a moment and felt that my mind went blank.
At this moment, Shao Ling came from behind. He shouted loudly: "Xiao Sheren, the Jin's arrows are really powerful! Don't rush too fast!"
Wang Xiaolie suddenly woke up. Looking down at the arrow, he saw that it did not penetrate the armor, it just hung on his body. With great determination in his heart, he waved his hands and said loudly: "Today we meet the Jin soldiers on a narrow road, we can only risk our lives in a fight! When the two armies meet, the brave one wins! You follow me forward and keep the Jin soldiers. Cao Zhiyan is behind, summons the troops and horses, and rushes Come!"
Seeing that Wang Xiaolie was the first to rush towards the Jin people, Shao Ling and Li Nong had no choice but to agree. Cao Zhiyan, who was at a loss as he rushed to the intersection with his horse, sang a big promise loudly.
