The next night, Wang Xiaolie stood at the top of the city and looked at the brightly lit Jin camp outside, with the Jin people standing guard in formation. He shook his head and said to Cao Zhiyan next to him: "After suffering a loss yesterday, the Jin people are much smarter tonight. Looking at them, aren't they going to sleep?"
Cao Zhiyan said: "The Jin people attacked the city several times during the day. How can they survive without sleeping at night? In just a few days, I'm afraid they will retreat."
Wang Xiaolie nodded: "That's exactly the truth. Therefore, you can't attack the city wildly, and the most important thing is to defend the city. So, you will defend the city here tonight. Looking outside the city, once the Jin army relaxes their vigilance, they will go Wake us up. The Jin Army is now heavily defended, so let’s go and rest first. We won’t be able to kill many Jin Army by leaving the city. The most important thing is not to let them rest."
Cao Zhiyan crossed his hands and promised.
Wang Xiaolie returned to the county government office and saw that Li Nong had put on his helmet and armor and was waiting in the yard. Said: "Don't be impatient. Just now I went up to the city wall to see that the lights in the Jin camp were brightly lit outside, and the Jin soldiers were all dressed up. It's not time to leave the city. You and everyone should rest first. If the Jin people relax, Cao Zhiyan will come to call us. That one If you prepare when the time comes, everything will come in time.”
Xie Linong was a little discouraged and crossed his hands to make a promise.
Last night's victory was a great boost to the morale of the troops. Especially after a burst of fighting, no one was injured or killed, and everyone was excited. Tonight it was Xie Linong's turn to leave the city, Cao Zhi strictly guarded the city, and Shao Ling served as a backup. Xie Linong waited early and wanted to go out of the city just like Shao Ling did last night.
After returning to his residence, Wang Xiaolie lay on the bed with his clothes on and couldn't fall asleep for a while.
Once you think about it, many things will suddenly become clear to you. The most important thing about defending a city is not that the city is high and the pool is deep, but that you have the courage to fight. No matter how large the city is, it cannot be defended simply by defending it. The defense must be followed by the attack, so as not to allow the enemy troops outside the city any breathing time. Isn’t that the purpose of surrounding yourself with a city wall? The defenders in the city have the advantage of concealment and have the initiative to attack. How can they not make good use of it?
Wang Xiaolie's biggest reliance is time. It's already April, entering summer, and Jin Jun can't wait any longer. Within half a month at most and five or six days at least, the Jin army must return north. Wang Xiaolie's small force has little strategic value, and the Jin Army will not spend time here forever.
As long as they muster up the courage to fight against the Jin Army for a few days, what can they do? At this time, what the Song Army lacks is not the courage to fight the Jin Army to the end? Only by daring to confront the enemy tit for tat can the organization, training, system, command, etc. behind us have a place to stay. If you don't dare to fight, what's the use of saying anything else?
Unknowingly, he fell into a deep sleep. It was not until dawn that Cao Zhiyan hurried in. He woke up Wang Xiaolie and said: "Xiaoshe people, the Jin people are making a fire to cook. Seeing that they persisted all night, they are a little tired. However, it will be dawn soon, so it is hard to leave the city!"
Wang Xiaolie said: "Why are we afraid of dawn? We are not fighting with the Jin people risking our lives, we are just disturbing them. It was a peaceful night, and I think the Jin people thought it was a peaceful day. It is at this time that we go out of the city to fight again! "
After saying that, he ordered someone to wake up Xie Linong and hurriedly put on his helmet.
Not long after, Wang Xiao came out and saw that Li Nong had led fifty people standing in the yard. After a night's rest, everyone was full of energy.
Wang Xiaolie said loudly: "The Jin army stayed up all night last night, and now they are setting fire to cook. Let's go out from the west city gate, charge all the way, and then come back from the east city gate. Remember, with the lessons learned last time, the Jin people will definitely improve. Be vigilant. After entering the Jin camp, you must not be greedy for success and come back in a hurry. As long as the Jin people are not in peace, we will achieve our goal."
Xie Linong said: "Last time, the Xiaoshe people killed a group of people, and no one came back injured. It seems that when we suddenly left the city, the Jin people had no time to react. In that case, why not kill them quickly? In just a few days, the Jin people will not be able to react. Dare to surround us!"
Wang Xiaolie shook his head: "Don't think like this. The last time no one was injured was beyond the Jin people's expectation. After this experience, the Jin people will definitely take appropriate precautions. Don't set up an army in the military camp, as long as we leave the city , come up and entangle them immediately, so what’s the difficulty? As long as we fall into a hard fight, we can’t come back. Two thousand gold troops want to rely on such a fight out of the city to kill them back, it’s crazy. "
After saying that, he gave the order and mounted his horse together with the selected soldiers.
It was still dark, and a ray of fish-belly white had just emerged in the east. The early morning wind blows on the face, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.
As soon as he left the city gate, Wang Xiaolie dismounted his horse and rushed straight towards Jinying. In just a moment, they rushed to the entrance of Jinying Village.
At this time, Jin Bing was making a fire to cook. When he heard the sound of horse hooves, he hurriedly mounted his horse.
After entering the Jin camp, Wang Xiaolie saw that except for the Jin soldiers on the watchtower, the others quickly gathered at the back of the military camp, where they were hunting.
"Straight bitch, the golden man has learned well!"
After cursing, Wang Xiaohao pulled his horse and led the team to rush to the side. On the road, he met a golden soldier who couldn't dodge. He knocked him down with one shot and didn't want to fight.
Behind him, Xie Linon couldn't help but feel a little disappointed when he saw that the road ahead was empty. The last time he saw it from the city tower, the sound of killings in the Jin camp was loud. He didn't want it to be his turn, but the Jin soldiers just avoided it. How can one achieve meritorious service by running in vain like this?
After passing several military camps, the Jin soldiers did not come forward to engage in battle, but quickly gathered. Turning outside the east city gate, they ran into the assembled Jin army. Judging from their appearance, they must have gathered in a hurry, and many of the soldiers' armor was uneven.
Wang Xiaolie knew in his heart that this was Jin Jun's strategy against him. When the Song army first entered the Jin camp, the Jin people did not come to intercept them. They just quickly gathered and reported to other military camps at the same time. After he made a circle, the troops behind him gathered. As long as the assembled Jin army stops him and others, the army from behind can come, and it will be difficult to escape at that time.
Seeing the Jin army rushing forward, Wang Xiaolie shouted loudly and snatched two people down with a spear in his hand like a poisonous snake. Then he took out his mace and knocked the remaining people off their horses. Xie Linong next to him shouted loudly, his mace flying in his hand, and he could get closer.
Killing dozens of Jin people in a row and stopping the momentum of the Jin army. Wang Xiaolie said loudly: "That's enough for today! Go back to the city!"
After saying that, he turned his horse's head and led his men quickly out of the camp. Xie Linong held an iron mace in his hand and held the team at the end, looking at the Jin army fiercely. For a moment, the Jin army did not rush forward.
Just as he was about to turn his horse back to the city, an arrow suddenly came from the Jin army. The arrow was like a shooting star, unable to dodge, and it was inserted into Xie Linong's body.
Xie Linong felt a sharp shock in his chest and was in great pain. When he looked down, he saw blood seeping out of the armor. Those who know how to shoot arrows are the sharpshooters in the Jin army. He raised his head and looked at Jin Jun with his mace in his hand, his eyes like copper bells, and he looked fierce.
At this moment, the second arrow came over again. This time Xie Linong saw clearly, knocked down the arrow with his mace, and rushed forward with a loud shout. Two golden soldiers came up and flanked Xie Linong on the left and right. Xie Linong waved his iron mace continuously and knocked out the two Jin troops who came up.
After this pause, the Jin army had already reacted and the brigade was pressing forward. Seeing that the sharpshooter had hid behind him, Xie Linong had no choice but to spit. Turning the horse's head, he followed the retreating group in front.
All this is like lightning. By the time the Jin army fully reacted, Wang Xiaolie and his men had already arrived at the city gate.
Watching the Song army enter the city, the city gate slowly closed, and the chasing Jin army cursed outside the city.
Shao Ling, who was at the top of the city, looked at them and said, "The people of Xiaoshe are in a lot of danger today. They are being chased by the Jin army. There are not many arrows on the city. If they catch up to the city gate, it will be really difficult for them."
With such a fighting method, the Jin army would not be pursued. When they arrive at the city gate, the troops on the city can fire arrows to isolate the enemy. But Wang Xiaolie's troops were not regular troops, and they did not have many bows and crossbows. The Jin soldiers are chasing them, but there are not many options.
The Jin soldiers retreated slowly, and Shao Ling came down from the city. Then he saw Wang Xiaolie standing in front of Xie Linong below, and a soldier slowly took off his armor for him. When they got closer, they discovered that Xie Linong had been hit by an arrow in his chest, and beads of sweat were pouring from his head.
Stepping forward quickly, Shao Ling said, "What? Did you get hit by the golden man's arrow?"
Xie Linong said bitterly: "When I was coming back, I was suddenly hit by an arrow. The man who fired the arrow was so powerful that it penetrated the helmet and drew blood!"
Wang Xiaolie said: "This must be someone who is good at shooting in the Jin army. I was also hit by an arrow two days ago. Could it be the same person? But although he could shoot through the armor, it didn't penetrate the flesh very deeply. Take off your armor Take a look, if the injury is not serious, it will be fine in two days."
Wang Xiaolie took a look and understood Li Nong's injury. The arrow did not hit deeply. It probably only broke the skin but not the bones. Such skin trauma will not hurt your life. However, Xie Linong was injured in the chest, so he still had to suffer some pain.
Cut off the arrow nocks and take off the armor. Wang Xiaolie looked at the arrow and said: "It must be a person. Look at the arrow you shot me two days ago. This person is not using armor-piercing arrows. If not, you will be in danger today."
Xie Linong nodded: "I think he is a sharpshooter in the Jin army, otherwise why would he have such a powerful bow!"
Wang Xiaolie said: "You may not be a sharpshooter. If you are a sharpshooter, why don't you use armor-piercing arrows? He must be a general with natural supernatural power, and the bow he uses is stronger than that of ordinary people. You didn't hurt any bones today, and you took medicine later. It will only take two days.”
After An Dun got to know Li Nong, Wang Xiaolie felt a little uneasy. It is normal for generals in the army to have strong bows, but it is abnormal not to have them. However, there are such people in the Jin army, and he will leave the city again in the future. The danger is much greater. No serious injuries were caused these two times, what about next time? And he is obviously the leader of the army. If the Jin army wants to shoot, they will naturally shoot themselves first.
On the battlefield, if you are not careful, your life will be in danger. Even if you wear armor, the enemy still has armor-breaking weapons. In addition to being brave and brave, fighting also requires a little bit of luck.
How is your luck? Wang Xiaolie shook his head. Only God knows. However, at this time, Wang Xiaolie could not lose his morale and must move forward bravely. If a leader cannot survive the days ahead, the spirit of an army will be greatly affected.
