Chapter 17 Reinforcement

It had been four days. Wang Xiaolie led his troops out every day to harass the Jin army. However, he had a good sense of proportion. As soon as the Jin army assembled, he immediately led his troops back. In addition to eight dead and wounded soldiers, no generals were injured.

Whenever the Jin army made siege equipment, it was destroyed by the Song army. After four days of siege, there was no violent attack on the city. In this way, the people in the city slowly relaxed and were no longer afraid. They prepared more and more supplies for Wang Xiaolie's troops.

The more relaxed you are.

At dusk on the fifth day, the Jin army outside the city began to eat, and the city also relaxed. Wang Xiaolie inspected a circle, got off the city wall, and was about to return to the county government office for dinner. Suddenly, Shao Ling on the city shouted: "Xiaoshe people,

Come and see, are there reinforcements coming from outside?"

Wang Xiaolie heard this and hurriedly climbed up the city wall. He saw the flags of the Song army moving back and forth in the mountains south of the city.

After watching for a while, Wang Xiaolie said: "I don't know if it's reinforcements, but there must be Song troops nearby. Judging from their appearance, I don't know what to say to us. You raise the flag here and wave it to them as a signal."

We knew they were coming."

Shao Ling took the order and ordered the soldiers to raise their flags and wave them in that direction. No one knew what they meant.

When Wang Xiaolie saw it, he suddenly remembered that if there were flags in the army, it would still be useful at this time. If there is an opportunity in the future, a set of flags should be stipulated to be promoted in the army. If this kind of thing happens again, the two sides can contact each other in time.

After watching for a while, Shao Ling ordered his soldiers to put away the flag when he saw that the flag over there had disappeared.

Wang Xiaoxing said: "I only saw the flag waving here and there, but I don't know what it means. So, be careful here and always pay attention to the other side. If there is any news, report it to me in time. We saw it, Jinying

The Jin Army in the middle must have seen it too. If nothing else, the Jin Army will send troops to drive them away. If there is a chance, we must help them in time."

Shao Ling crossed his arms and said yes. Wang Xiao went down the city wall and went to the county government office to rest.

The Jin army arrived suddenly and did not bring any siege equipment. They were harassed by Wang Xiaolie every day, and the siege was ineffective and they already wanted to leave. If reinforcements came at this time, Wang Xiaolie might have won the battle.

In the era of cold weapons, to defend a city, in addition to the high walls and deep walls, and the various defensive methods on the city walls, the most important thing is to dare to fight. If you are tightly surrounded in the city, as time goes by, the city will eventually fall. Only those who dare to fight can

Rushing, constantly leaving the city to harass the enemy, especially destroying various siege equipment made by the enemy in advance, is the most effective. The city not only prevents the enemy from coming in, but more importantly, it is a good base for attacking. Enemies outside the city can do

What can be clearly seen on the city walls, and what is inside the city but cannot be seen outside the city.

Ten years later, Chen Gui defended the De'an Mansion and wrote his experience in a "City Defending Record", emphasizing this point in particular. Wang Xiaolie did not know this, but he could see that the city defense could not be defended to death.

In the middle of the night, Wang Xiaolie put on his armor and organized his troops in front of the county government office. He went out of the city every day in the past few days, but the time was not fixed. The Jin army tried their best, but they still couldn't do anything to Wang Xiaolie. Tonight, Wang Xiaolie

Getting ready to leave the city at midnight.

At this moment, Xie Linong, who was guarding the city, hurried in. He crossed his hands and said, "Xiao Sheren, there is a man coming from outside the city, saying he is reinforcements. The general ordered him to put down the rope and let him come up to the city. He is outside the Yamen!"

When Wang Xiaolie heard this, he hurriedly said: "Let him in quickly!"

Not long after, a big man came in from outside. Seeing Wang Xiaolie, he hurriedly bowed down.

Wang Xiaolie saw that this man seemed kind-hearted, but he couldn't remember his name or where he had seen him. He asked, "Are you sent by reinforcements from outside the city? What's your name? Where are the reinforcements from outside?"

The man said: "The young man's name is Qiao Yan. He was originally a general under Ding Duxun in the capital. I met Xiao Sheren a few days ago——"

Wang Xiaolie nodded after hearing this: "I see! No wonder you seem kind-hearted, but I just can't remember it."

Qiao Yan said: "I have only met Xiaosheren once, so that's the case. A few days ago, when Ding Du was patrolling Yong'an, he suddenly encountered the Jin army, so he sent Yu Huan and Yu Tiha across the river to attack the Jin army.

. Unexpectedly, Yu Tiha led the army across the river, and Ding Duxun was killed and dispersed by the Jin army. There was no way, Yu Tiha and us have been wandering around these days. Recently I heard that the people of Xiaoshe met in Gong County.

When the Jin army besieged him, he came to seek refuge."

Wang Xiaolie nodded and said nothing for a while.

Obviously, Yu Huan could not have heard about this just now. It is thought that when Ding Jin was killed and dispersed, Yu Huan and his men had already crossed the river, but he led the army to save it. Ding Jin could no longer pursue him, so he led his team in

Wandering around. Wang Xiaolie didn't know it in Gong County. He had been guarding Gong County these days and had killed the Jin army. The news had already spread around.

After four or five days, the Jin army was eager to retreat north. Everyone could see that Wang Xiaolie had defended Gong County in this battle. With such a great victory, Wang Xiaolie's future would be unlimited. Yu Huan had nowhere to go.

But he didn't have the courage to stand on his own, so he came to seek refuge.

Gong County seems to be surrounded by the Jin army, but in fact it is not a dead city. As long as the Jin army retreats, Wang Xiaolie will be the hero of the city defense. At this moment when the Song army is retreating steadily, having such a great achievement is of great benefit to the soldiers and civilians of the Song Dynasty.

Very encouraging.

After thinking for a while, Wang Xiaoxian said: "Yu Tiha sent you here with what words?"

Qiao Yan said: "Going back to Xiaosheren, I saw that the Jin army has been sieging Tiha for a long time. There must be a shortage of food in the city. I have collected some military rations nearby and am willing to send them to the city to help Xiaoshe people defend the city. Prepare outside the city.

That’s it, just wait for the people from the small house to respond.”

Wang Xiaolie asked: "How to respond?"

Qiao Yan said: "Originally, as long as Xiaoshe people made the plan, I could take them out of the city. But recently, Jinying has been attacked by Xiaoshe people every night, and it is not easy to get out of the city. Tiha then decided, as long as Xiaoshe people took them.

When the army attacked the camp, he entered the city from the south."

Wang Xiaolie thought for a while and said: "That's fine. I will go out of the west gate tonight and come back from the south gate of the city. In the past few days, I have entered and exited through the east and west gates. This time when I came back from the city gate, Jin Bing did not expect it. Yu Huan did a good job

Get ready, it won't be difficult to get into the city."

At this time, the siege cannot encircle the city into an iron barrel without any flaws. The Jin army only has two thousand people, and it cannot be done. If there are only a few people, whether they go out from the city or enter the city from outside, the Jin army will not be able to do it.

It's hard to stop.

If Wang Xiaole went out of the city to attack the camp, and Yu Huan cooperated from outside the city, the Jin army would not be able to stop them if they were not prepared. The Jin army was already shaken, and with reinforcements in the city, they had no intention of continuing the siege.

He ordered people to take Qiao Yan down to rest. Wang Xiao ordered people to call Shao Ling and Cao Zhiyan to discuss it together.

After telling the news of Yu Huan's arrival, Wang Xiaolie said: "The Jin army has been besieging the city for five days, and we really don't have much food and grass. Yu Huan brought food, which is exactly what the city needs. After we left the city tonight, he came from the south of the city

, it is not easy to stop the Jin army. The only thing is that we have not seen Yu Huan for many days. We don’t know what he has done these days. To put it bluntly, if he surrenders to the Jin people and comes to gain our city, some

Difficult to handle."

Xie Linong nodded: "That's what Xiao Sheren said. From what I can see, you can't trust others easily. Why don't you chop this Qiao Yan with a knife and just say that he died in the Jin camp. Who knows? We have been guarding these days.

It’s time for the Jin army to retreat.”

Wang Xiaolie shook his head: "How can you do this? If Yu Huan really brings troops to help, we will kill a good person by mistake."

Xie Li Nong said: "Even if we kill by mistake, what can we do? How can it be easy for us to go out to the city to fight every day these days? If Yu Huan really came to make money from the city, wouldn't our hard work these days be in vain?"

Wang Xiaolie remained silent and just shook his head.

What Xie Linong said was not exaggerated. At this time, there was basically no unified court command in the Song Dynasty. The first task of each army was to protect itself. As long as there was suspicion, they could kill people. If Wang Xiaolie did it, some people might praise him.

Be cautious.

But how could Wang Xiaolie do such a thing? If he killed the wrong person this time, how could anyone follow him in the future? He was doubtful, so he just had to be prepared. How could he develop and grow if he couldn't tolerate others?

After a while, Wang Xiaolie asked Shao Ling: "In your opinion, what should we do?"

Shao Ling said: "As soon as we entered Gong County, the Jin army followed us. These must be soldiers and horses chasing Han Tongzhi from Luoyang City. How many people can the Jin army send now? There are two thousand people outside the city. There must be no Jin around.

Jun. Yu Huan, what's the reason for lowering the gold? Just be fully prepared."

Wang Xiaolie nodded and asked Cao Zhiyan: "What do you think should be done?"

Cao Zhiyan said: "We watched Yu Huan cross the river. When the Jin army chased Ding Jin, how could he catch up? Then the Jin army came to chase us, and there was no way to deal with Yu Huan! In my opinion,

Don’t think too much, just bring them into the city!”
