It was midnight and the moon was setting. The stars in the sky shine like gems.
Wang Xiaolie stood on the city wall and saw that the Jin camp outside was quiet. Occasionally, patrolling soldiers appeared, lazily.
After watching for a while, Wang Xiaolie said to Xie Linong and Cao Zhiyan: "I will go out of the city with Shao Ling, and you guys will guard the city. We will leave the city from the east city gate, and go south and enter the city from the west gate. Xie Linong will guard the east wall, and Cao Zhiyan will guard the city wall." Zhi Yan guards the west city wall. Remember, after we leave the city, close the east city gate immediately. Wait until we arrive outside the west city gate before opening the city gate."
Xie Linong and Cao Zhiyan promised together.
Wang Xiaolie patted the city wall: "It's already midnight and the Jin people are sleeping peacefully. It's a good time to attack. Don't miss it!"
After saying that, he quickly walked down the city wall.
Shao Ling was waiting there with fifty soldiers. Seeing Wang Xiaolie coming over, he hurriedly crossed his hands and sang a promise.
Wang Xiaolie said: "I have said everything that needs to be said, no more wordy. Yesterday I killed fifty of the Jin's cavalry and got some horses, which are just in use now. Each person's left arm is tied with a white cloth as a mark. After leaving the city , follow closely behind me and Shao Ling. Break into the Jin camp and use the fire starter you brought to burn the siege equipment that the Jin people made today. Don’t be reluctant to fight and come back from the west gate!"
Everyone crossed their hands and said yes.
Wang Xiaolie nodded heavily. He picked up the spear, put the mace on his back, and got on his horse.
The mace was a popular weapon at this time and was very powerful. Especially when facing an enemy with armor, it can cause huge damage. In addition to carrying long weapons, the Song army especially liked to carry iron maces as short weapons.
Everyone mounted their horses, and Xie Linong led others forward and quietly opened the city gate.
Wang Xiaolie picked up the reins of his horse and rushed out like the wind with Shao Ling and fifty of his men.
The Jin army's camp was less than a mile away from the city wall, and they arrived in an instant. The Song army made no sound after leaving the city, and was not discovered until the Jin army camp. Hearing the shrill horns of the Jin army, Wang Xiaolie shouted and stepped into the Jin camp first.
With the spear in his hand stretched out, Wang Xiaolie stabbed down the oncoming Jin army, and led his men to rush towards the place where siege equipment and wood were piled.
The Jin army was caught off guard. The military camp was in chaos for a while, and it was unable to organize a counterattack army. Wang Xiaolie led his men to the place where the Jin army piled up their siege equipment. He held a spear and patrolled with some of his men. Shao Ling led his men to dismount and started a fire with prepared fire starters.
The wood is fresh and not easy to ignite. Song Jun could only try his best to ignite it a little bit. Once it ignited, it would be difficult to put it out.
Seeing the troops forming up in the military camp, Wang Xiaolie shouted loudly: "The time is up, don't stay here! Let's go!"
After saying that, they led the horses and reins around the gathering place of the Jin army and ran towards the south.
Seeing that the Song army did not return to the city immediately, how could the Jin army let them go? It was chaotic for a while, with hundreds of people following behind.
After running hundreds of steps, Wang Xiaolie took the reins of the horse. When he turned around, he saw that the Jin army that was catching up was shapeless and stretched into a long dragon. There were only a few dozen people rushing to the front. Holding a spear in his hand, he said sternly: "Charge and kill for a while! If you frighten the golden dog out of fear, it's not too late to go back!"
Shao Ling accepted the promise, and followed Wang Xiaolie with fifty people, killing him back like the wind.
In a hurry, many of the Jin army's saddles and bridles were not neat, and there was no command. The Song army suddenly turned around and attacked, causing chaos.
Wang Xiaoyou urged his horse forward, fired several shots, and stabbed several people under the horse. Suddenly the morale of the Song army soared, and they shouted loudly and fought with the pursuing Jin army. The dozens of golden cavalry at the front were all dismounted in the blink of an eye.
Killing people on the battlefield is often a matter of breathing. You come and I go back and forth dozens of times, it’s really a rare encounter. The Song army was well prepared, and its morale was at its peak. Coupled with the lack of preparations by the Jin army in a hurry, they were killed in pieces in a short time.
At the time of the killing, Wang Xiaolie saw that there were more and more Jin troops behind him. If you keep fighting, I'm afraid you'll get entangled. No longer interested in fighting, he shouted loudly and led everyone to continue fighting south.
At this time, there was already a well-organized Jin army in front, and Wang Xiao, led by the general, came to hunt them.
Seeing that there were not many people on the other side, Wang Xiaolie did not dodge and charged straight towards him with his troops. It was late at night, and although he was not blind, he still couldn't see clearly what was happening a few steps away. The Jin army just ran towards the place where people were screaming and horses were in chaos, and the generals were unable to command effectively. Wang Xiaolie was not afraid of fighting them. As long as a large army did not surround them, holding torches and lanterns, the Jin army would have nothing to do with themselves.
Not long after, Wang Xiaolie collided head-on with the besieging Jin army in front. In the shadow, Wang Xiaolie shot down the charging Jin Jun, pulled out the mace from behind his shoulder, and hit the next Jin Jun on the head with the mace.
Shao Ling followed Wang Xiaolie and stabbed another Jinjun down with one shot.
Tying a white cloth around his arms was a method Wang Xiaolie learned from his past life memories, and it was very useful at this time. Even if this white cloth only increases the distance that can be seen by a few steps, it is still a huge advantage. The Song army has been gathering closely together, rushing back and forth in the Jin camp.
Within a quarter of an hour, Wang Xiaolie led people outside the west city gate.
He turned his horse's head and looked at the chasing Jin army. Wang Xiaolie said to Shao Ling: "It was late at night when the Jin army was suddenly attacked and they were not well prepared. Even if they chased after them, they had no command. How about we turn around and charge for another fight? Let's fight tonight to show how powerful the Jin army is!"
Shao Ling promised. Following closely behind Wang Xiaolie, he rushed towards the pursuing Jin army.
Song Jun suddenly turned around, shocking Jin Jun. The general who was at the front was stabbed to death by Wang Xiaolie before he could react.
Wang Xiaolie put away his spear and took out his mace. He was galloping all the way, and when he saw someone, he would hit the target and then fly by. In a matter of seconds, more than a dozen people were hit on the head. Seeing that there were more Jin troops behind him, Wang Xiao hunted his horse. He put away his mace, grasped the spear tightly, and fired several shots suddenly, stabbing down all the golden soldiers who were chasing him, and shouted loudly.
The Jin army was overwhelmed by Wang Xiaolie's momentum, and all their horses were restrained. The two sides were in a stalemate for a while.
Seeing that the Jin army stopped attacking and was silent for a while, Wang Xiaolie suddenly laughed. Said: "The Jurchens are invincible, it turns out that's all! You just surround here! Grandpa comes out to kill for half an hour every day, let's see how many times you can withstand it!"
Amidst the laughter, he put away his spear, led Shao Ling and fifty soldiers, and retreated towards the city gate in a swagger. All the Jin troops were stunned, not knowing what to do, and watched helplessly as the Song troops retreated.
After entering the city gate, Wang Xiaolie saw that the Jin soldiers were not chasing him. He ordered Cao Zhi to tightly close the city gate and gather together at the county government office.
When we arrived in front of the county government office, the lights were brightly lit. Only then did Wang Xiaolie realize that all fifty people, including himself, were covered in blood, and some faces could not be seen clearly. Today's battle is unprecedented and really hearty.
After getting off the horse, Wang Xiaolie said to Shao Ling: "This battle has relieved the bad breath in my chest. It's worth it!"
Shao Ling smiled and said: "That's what Xiaoshe said. Although I don't think it was completely burned because of the newly cut wood by the Jin people. But our charge was enough to scare their courage! From now on, look at them I can still sleep!”
Xie Linong and Cao Zhiyan came over and were startled when they saw Wang Xiaolie and others. Everyone was covered in blood, and many of them were even disheveled, thinking they had suffered a lot. When he stepped forward and took a closer look, he realized that it was blood splashed on him by someone else.
Cao Zhiyan said: "Just now, the sound of killing outside was loud, and I couldn't see clearly in the dark. I'm really worried about the people in Xiaoshe."
Wang Xiaolie said with a smile: "Today we fought from east to west, and I was unscathed. Not to mention, we took out fifty people and brought back fifty people, not even one person was missing. This great victory, But it’s even more enjoyable than yesterday!”
Cao Zhiyan agreed with Li Nong. Ask someone to come and help Wang Xiaolie and others clean up.
In fact, a fight may seem very noisy, but the actual number of Jin people killed may not be many. Wang Xiaolie rushed to the front and killed the most people, with only a dozen people killed. Others followed, killing even fewer. If the result can exceed a hundred people, it is an incredible victory.
This battle was sudden, and not to mention the result, it shocked the Jin Army greatly. Originally, the Jin army thought that no matter how difficult it was to attack Gong County, as long as they surrounded it tightly, they could force the Song army to surrender. If the Song army attacks at night, it will be difficult for the Jin army.
