Until noon, the Jin army did not attack the city. They had no siege equipment and could only make improvised ones.

Wang Xiaolie patrolled the city and saw that the mood of the residents gradually stabilized and began to make city defense equipment under the command of the army. He felt relieved. As long as people's hearts are not chaotic, the Jin army will break through Gongxian and conquer Gongxian in a short time.

not easy.

I returned to my residence and drank a cup of tea. At this moment, Xie Linong, who was guarding the city wall, hurried in and said: "Xiaoshe people, the Jin people have reinforcements outside! Look at them, they are cutting down trees everywhere, and they want to attack.

city!"

"How many reinforcements are coming?" Wang Xiaolie stood up suddenly.

Xie Linong said: "It looks like there are more than a thousand people. Adding in the original seven or eight hundred people, there will be two thousand people."

Wang Xiaolie did not dare to neglect, and said: "Let's go to the city wall and take a look. By the way, call Shao Ling and Cao Zhiyan, and let's find a solution together."

The four of them reached the city wall, looked up, and saw the newly arrived Jin army setting up camp outside the city. Judging from their appearance, there were many more Jin troops than those who arrived in the morning. Gong County is on the edge of the Luo River, and there are not many trees near the city.

.Many Jin soldiers cut down trees from a distance and were transporting them to the city.

Looking at the scene outside, the four of them all looked heavy.

The two thousand Jin Army is already a large force. Not to mention Wang Xiaolie's more than three hundred rebels, the regular army of the imperial court can hardly stop it. This year the Jin Army invaded the south in a large scale, and only two to three thousand partial troops attacked Kaifeng Prefecture. Zongze was there

Kaifeng Prefecture's army was said to be one million, but it was no match for the two or three thousand gold men who attacked Huazhou. Huazhou gained and lost several times.

Of course, so many Jin troops were not hunting for Wang Xiao, but chasing Han Shizhong. Han Shizhong was the commander around Zhao Gou, and his troops were real regular troops of the Song Dynasty. Being able to eat them all was a great victory for the Jin army.

.

With a gloomy face, Xie Linong said: "What a bad luck! If we don't eat their fifty rangers, these troops will not come. For a small victory, we have provoked such a powerful enemy!"

Cao Zhiyan said: "There's no reason not to eat the fat on your lips! Who knew there was an army behind us? It's just that we are unlucky."

Wang Xiaolie said: "We have been wandering around this year. We have never fought a serious battle, and we really don't understand battle formations. Moreover, how do we know what the enemy situation is around us? Now that the Jin army is besieging the city, there is no other way.

Hold on tight."

Xie Linong sighed: "We only have more than 300 people and insufficient equipment to defend the city. It is not easy to defend the city!"

In this era, there were not many ways to attack the city. Although in theory, there were various kinds of siege equipment, there were not many that were really serious threats. The Jin army came in a hurry and without equipment, it was not easy to attack the city.

After thinking for a while, Wang Xiaolie said: "In the final analysis, if the Jin army is targeting us, they must break through the city. It will be difficult to defend. Fortunately, it is summer now, and the Jin army will return north and will not besiege the city for many days.

As long as we hold on for a few days, the golden man should leave."

Cao Zhiyan said: "I just don't know how long the Jin army can surround us. If it's only three or four days, it won't be difficult to hold on. If it takes ten and a half months, even if the Jin army doesn't break the city, we won't have enough food and grass."

This is a real problem. Wang Xiaolie ran into this place like a headless fly. He was not prepared before. The current military rations were sent voluntarily by the people because of the victory in the previous battle. Over time, without the enemy attacking, he would starve to death first.

Already.

After coming down from the city wall, Wang Xiaolie felt heavy and a little irritable. His path in this world was really difficult. When he came, he encountered more than two thousand people from Ding Jin who were defeated by fifty gold troops. Later, it was not him.

Suddenly brave, the fifty rangers had no choice. They finally won a battle, and then encountered such a powerful enemy.

There is no need to overestimate the combat effectiveness of the Jin army, but it must not be underestimated. However, within a decade or two, the Jurchens rose up and destroyed the Liao Dynasty, the former overlord of the Khitans, and then went south to attack Kaifeng Prefecture, almost without a single defeat.

At this time, more than two thousand Jin troops were able to roam almost everywhere in the Central Plains, and there were not many who could stop them.

Zongze guarded Kaifeng, and the war with the Jin army mainly took place in two places. One was Huazhou in the north, and the other was Zhengzhou to the west of Kaifeng. Huazhou was just a partial division of the Jin army, and the two sides were tied. Zhengzhou could not stop the Jin at all.

It's just that the Jin army gave up after taking it, and the Song army rose up and regained it. Once the Jin army fought back, they couldn't hold it at all.

Sighing, Wang Xiaolie didn't know what to do for a moment.

When I think about my past life, I thought that the wars between the Song and Jin Dynasties at this time should be tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people. If nothing else, the most widely circulated Yue Fei story, which battle did not involve hundreds of thousands of people? Really?

Only then did I realize that this was not the case. As long as one side has more than 10,000 troops, it is a major battle that affects the entire war situation. Thousands of people are already a very considerable force.

Can he hold Gong County? Wang Xiaolie didn't dare to think about it. If he couldn't hold it, it would be a dead end and everything would be over.

Back at his residence, Wang Xiaolie sat on his seat, thinking alone.

The most effective way for the Jin soldiers to attack the city is to not be afraid of death and rush towards the city in waves. As long as they break through a little, the city will be difficult to defend. The Jin soldiers do not have particularly outstanding siege equipment, and they are not even as good as the Song army.

.However, the Jin Army fought bravely and had strict discipline. In this regard, few armies in this era could match it. Not only was the Song Army unable to defeat the Jin Army, but in fact, the surrounding countries were no match for the Jin Army at this time.

What to do? After thinking for a long time, Wang Xiaolie suddenly raised his head. From fighting the Jin Army's cavalry yesterday to fighting the Jin Army's attack on the city early this morning, what did he rely on for his victory? Is it more people? Is it soldiers?

Strong? In fact, it is neither. It depends on one's own bravery and fearlessness. The Jin army fought fiercely, and I was braver than them. If the officers and soldiers under my command couldn't do it, then they had to rely on themselves.

Thinking of this, Wang Xiaolie stood up and paced around the room.

Yes, it is easy to forget this unless we are facing a life-and-death situation. I always feel that since I have come across a thousand years, I should cherish my life and not be involved in danger. Why? When this country is ruined and its family is destroyed, you cannot be on the battlefield.

If you dare to fight and kill, what's the use of saying anything else?

When two armies meet, the brave one wins. This statement is too absolute, but it is very reasonable. For a certain battle, for a certain person in the war, or for a certain army, the outcome is not who is braver.

Determined. But for the entire country, victory or defeat largely depends on whether the army is brave. Being more brave and united is the key to the army being able to win the war.

How to make the army more united and braver is a big topic. It is a major national policy and is not what Wang Xiaolie needs to consider at this time. As long as he can unite more than 300 people and move forward bravely with him, he has taken a step forward.

first step.

After thinking for a long time, Wang Xiao ordered people to call Shao Ling, Xie Linong and Cao Zhiyan.

The three of them sat down. Wang Xiaolie said: "The key to defending the city is not to just defend the city. You must defend during the attack, and you must attack during the defense! If we want to defend Gong County, it is not enough to just defend the city wall. Although

The Jin people have insufficient equipment to attack the city, and we have insufficient equipment to defend the city. How can we defend it after a long time? When the Jin people come to attack the city, we must also be brave enough to fight out of the city and disrupt the Jin people's deployment! I decided to leave the city tonight
