The Jin soldiers were not in a hurry to retreat, but if they were in a hurry, it would be difficult to maintain their formation. Wang Xiaolie was not far away, so he urged his horse to rush forward and caught up in the blink of an eye.
Wu Yan was not in a hurry when he saw that Wang Xiaolie was not shot down by one arrow. The arrows of the Jin people were weak, and it was common for the Song army to penetrate the iron armor. Seeing Wang Xiao rushing towards him like a hunter, he sneered and took the mace in his hand. He said to the Jin man on the side: "The Song army only has these dozen horses, kill them first and then leave! Just be careful, don't be held back by them!"
After saying that, he swung his mace and bit it with his steel teeth, targeting Wang Xiaolie who was coming.
Wang Xiaolie's eyes were bloodshot and his mind was empty. He just stared at the retreating Jin army in front. He saw an officer holding a mace and turning his horse's head to face him. Feeling that his head was burning, he straightened up his spear and stabbed straight at it.
Wuyan shouted loudly, turned the mace in his hand, put it against the stabbing spear, and wanted to take it aside. Unexpectedly, Wang Xiao had great hunting power, so he tried his best to stab with this spear, but it didn't move. While he was in shock, Wuyan felt a chill in his ribs.
Wang Xiaolie didn't wait for his moves to mature, and shot back suddenly. He raised it high and hit Wuyan's shoulder with the barrel of the gun.
It's all in the blink of an eye. By the time the others reacted, Wuyan had already been shot in the ribs and knocked off his horse. A group of golden soldiers flew into the sky, hurriedly raised their bows and arrows, and tried their best to shoot at Wang Xiaolie.
At this time, Wang Xiaolie was not clear-headed, so he stabbed Wu Yan in the throat without caring.
Later, Shao Ling and Li Nong saw Wang Xiao hunting bravely and stabbed the leader of the Jin soldiers under his horse. Immediately afterwards, the Jin soldiers fired a volley of arrows, and the arrows landed on Wang Xiaolie like locusts. They all shouted loudly and brought a dozen of their cronies to kill them.
Wang Xiaolie could only hear the tinkling noises on his body, and felt severe pain all over his body. He didn't know how many arrows he was hit in an instant. Knowing that wearing iron armor, most arrows will not hurt you. I just felt pain everywhere in my body, but I didn't panic.
Shao Ling and He Linong came to Wang Xiaolie's side and asked hurriedly: "Xiaosheren, are you injured?"
Wang Xiaolie shook his head: "No! You go forward and keep those Jin people behind! Cao Zhiyan will bring people up soon!"
The leader was stabbed under his horse, and the remaining golden men did not dare to run away. The Jin army has strict military discipline. If the leader is killed, the entire team will be implicated, and even their lives may be in danger. After firing a round of arrows, I saw that Wang Xiaolie was still on the horse and was not in any serious condition. The Song army from behind came up to kill him again. Immediately, there was a loud shout, and fifty people raised various short soldiers and shouted to kill them.
Shao Ling and He Liyan tightly surrounded Wang Xiaolie and brought a dozen of his followers to support him.
The two armies were fighting hand to hand, and for a moment they were in a stalemate on the road.
Wang Xiaolie slowly woke up, shook his head, and looked at the fighting situation around him. When the two sides fought together, Jin Bing did not have much advantage. Fifty people versus a dozen Song troops were just about equal. I gradually understood in my heart that Jin Bing's combat power was not as strong as imagined.
Except for a few sieges such as Kaifeng Mansion and Zhongshan Mansion, the Song Army was mostly defeated when faced with the Jin Army. If they really resist tenaciously, the Jin Army will often have no choice. It was a heavy siege, slowly trapping the Song army fighting alone to death. The combat effectiveness of the two armies is actually not much different. The problem is that the number of organized Song armies is very small and they do not cooperate with each other. They have been defeated by the Jin army in recent years.
The current Jin army is very strong, but most of the Song Dynasty's dilemma was caused by the inability to build its own army.
The advantage of the Rangers is that they can move around like the wind and advance and retreat freely, but they are not good at hard battles. Just because the leader Wuyan was killed by Wang Xiaolie in a battle, they could not leave and a stalemate formed.
After looking at the ugly corpse on the ground and the dozen arrows hanging on his body, Wang Xiaolie became a little scared. In fact, I don’t know how to fight in this era. He just rushed forward with enthusiasm and no matter what. I don’t know where I got the iron armor on my body. It was so fine that the Jin soldiers’ arrows couldn’t even penetrate it. And the leader of the golden soldiers looks fierce, but is actually useless in a fight.
At this time, Cao Zhiyan had already brought people up and surrounded Jin Bing.
Wang Xiaolie killed the leader of the Jin army. The morale of his men was high and they soon gained the upper hand. The Jin army was originally a ranger with weak bow power, and they were armed with short soldiers and no long weapons. How could they be a match for the Song army in a real fight? If it were a Jin army, of course it would have heavy cavalry and strong bows, but it would not be like this.
Hundreds of people surrounded the fifty gold army in the middle, and they were all knocked off their horses within a cup of tea.
Cao Zhiyan held a long knife and strode to Wang Xiaolie's horse. He crossed his hands and said, "Xiao Sheren, all the Jin people have been captured. How should we deal with it? Please give me your instructions!"
Wang Xiaolie breathed out: "Bind them all! Wait until we return to Kaifeng and receive the reward in front of Marshal Zong!"
Xie Linong on the side listened and said in a low voice: "Xiao Sheren, the Jin people are cunning. We have traveled hundreds of miles to Kaifeng Mansion, I'm afraid something will happen!"
Wang Xiaolie was stunned for a moment and said, "What should we do?"
"It's better to kill him!" Xie Linong was very determined. "The imperial court rewards people for their merits, and they only ask for their heads. Why do they want to live!"
Wang Xiaolie listened and said nothing for a while. It's one thing to go into battle with a gun and kill people, but it's another thing to kill prisoners. My habits in my previous life, what I heard growing up were that prisoners were treated preferentially, and that they would not kill prisoners if they surrendered their guns. Want to kill prisoners? How to decide?
Shao Ling said: "It's better to kill all the people in Xiaoshe. Since they entered the Central Plains, which one of these Jin people has not had bloody hands? Even if they are captured and returned, they can only be beheaded? Otherwise, how should they be resettled?"
Wang Xiaolie listened and thought for a long time. Shao Ling was right, he was misled by his past life experience. When the Jin soldiers entered the Central Plains, who had a benevolent purpose? Along the way, countless people were killed and their families were separated. In the previous life, if there were officers and soldiers who were forced to participate in wars, there would not be much bloodshed except on the battlefield. The Jin soldiers are different. Almost every one of them has blood debts on both hands.
After a moment of silence, Wang Xiaolian said: "If he is killed, how will the court identify the gold man's head?"
Xie Linong said: "Xiaoshe people don't have to worry. The Jin people have their hair shaved and braided. This is a habit they have developed since childhood. You can see it at a glance. For the court, the head of the Jin people is absolutely unmistakable." "
Wang Xiaolie nodded: "Tie them up first, and let's go back to the village. Even if we want to kill them, we must punish them properly!"
Can you tell at a glance? Wang Xiaolie didn't believe it. There are differences between Jin people and Han people, but not that big. If it were based solely on the head, someone would definitely kill someone and take credit for it. Can the court really tell the difference?
In fact, to say that they can be completely distinguished is naturally an exaggeration. But the difference between the Jurchens and the Han people is very obvious. For people who are well-informed, they rarely make mistakes. At this time, there were countless rebels, but there were very few people who killed good people and took credit for their crimes. This is also true.
Everyone agreed, surrounded Wang Xiaolie, and walked towards Dao Xiao Village.
In the morning, the Jin soldiers killed Ding Jin with a few arrows, and in the afternoon they were completely wiped out by him. At this time, the whole army was excited. Everyone cheered and went back to the teacher noisily. Instead of going to the mountains, he went straight to the village where Ding Jin had been stationed.
Wherever the Jin army went, they robbed all property, killed all livestock, and carried away the population, leaving no one behind, including the old, the weak, the sick, and the disabled. In the land west of Beijing, there are countless deserted villages at this time. So is this small village. Except for the houses, it was already deserted.
Wang Xiao arrived at the house where Ding Jin had lived and sat down in it. Looking at the happy men outside, he was a little confused for a moment.
Now that I think about it, for this battle, the pre-war plan was a bit unclear. When the fight actually started, if Wang Xiaolie hadn't been so passionate that he managed to kill Wu Yan off his horse, it would have been all in vain. Now that he has won, Wang Xiaolie doesn't know what to do next.
At this moment, Yang Shen and Wang Zhong rushed in. He walked forward quickly and looked around Wang Xiaolie.
Wang Xiaolie asked strangely: "What are you looking at?"
Wang Zhongdao: "I just heard someone say that in this battle, Xiao Sheren was like a god descending to earth. He rushed forward and killed the golden general. This was a great victory! I have watched you grow up, how dare you I hope so!"
Wang Xiaolie thought for a while and said: "It's just good luck today. Besides, it may not be true that the Jin people are good at fighting. As long as we dare to go up and fight, we may not be at a disadvantage."
After thinking about it carefully, Wang Xiaolie felt that this was the truth. It is said that the Jin people were good at fighting, but most of the time the Song army did not dare to fight. First, the officers and soldiers were indeed cowardly, and the second was the organizational problem of the Song Dynasty. Those who actually fight often fight alone. Even if they have the upper hand for a while, but have no reinforcements, they will still be wiped out by the golden soldiers sooner or later. Over the past few years, the war has gotten worse and worse.
Seriously speaking, the Song Dynasty's army had better quality soldiers than the Jin soldiers, more people than the Jin soldiers, and the weapons were not bad, so why did they lose? Most of the reasons must be attributed to the Song Dynasty court.
Yang Shen sighed: "Xiao Sheren is still young and doesn't know what he is capable of. I heard people say that you rushed in front alone and were shot by many arrows by the golden soldiers. It's because you were lucky. After wearing this armor, you didn't know how many arrows you shot. Injured. If he was accidentally hit by an arrow, there would be no need to fight this battle. These hundreds of people were recruited by our fellow villagers. If something happens to the people of Xiaoshe, we will be worried."
Wang Xiaolie nodded: "Of course I know, you don't have to worry. I am indeed lucky today. I was not injured. I will be careful in the future."
The arrow skills of these Jin Army Rangers were very strong. Most of the arrows hit Wang Xiaolie and were all blocked by the armor. If they didn't care about the random arrows coming at them, it would be normal for them to hit a few arrows somewhere. Wang Xiaolie didn't care. What did it matter if he got injured in the battle? As long as you keep your life, you will have a chance to come back again.
This is where the war at this time differs from the hot weapons of later generations. To be a general, one must be tall and strong, able to charge and kill. Once you become a general, you will have iron armor and perfect protection when going into battle, so it is not that easy to die. On this basis, he is resourceful and resourceful, and he is a rare brave and strategic general.
This battle, although poorly planned, was fought in a mess. But Wang Xiaolie was lucky enough to get the best result. Through this battle, he had to think clearly about many things and how to proceed next.
