The bright moon rose high, and the remaining main cavalry of the Qi army was pulled away. The horses picked up the luan bells, and the soldiers were ranked and left the military camp.

Yelv Mawu sent him out of the camp and watched Bali leave quickly. He didn't know what it was like. Since surrendering to the Jin Dynasty, Yelu Mawu had made countless contributions. He never expected that he would be like this today.

Niu Gao had already finished his tidying up and sent reconnaissance cavalry to monitor the Jin camp. After getting the news, he walked around there, unable to make up his mind. Niu Gao was unwilling to let the Jin army withdraw like this. But Wang Xiaolie made it clear,

Leave the Jin army's baggage behind and ignore the main force.

After thinking for a long time, Niu Gao said decisively: "The meaning of defense is that there is no need to chase the Jin army for a long time and leave behind its baggage. The Jin army has just withdrawn from the Jin camp, so it is better to chase them for a while. It is the Jin army's blessing that they cannot be held back."

.If you keep them, they will be in trouble!”

After saying that, he left a thousand cavalry to monitor the Jin camp, and took two thousand cavalry to pursue Bali.

It was the weather in early April. A quarter moon hung in the sky, vaguely reflecting the road. Various flowers bloomed on both sides of the road, mixed with dew, exuding a strange fragrance. There were waterbirds from time to time in the pond next to it.

Awakened by the horse's hooves, he screamed and flew up.

Wang Xiaolie received the report of Niu Gao's departure in the commander's tent, and couldn't help but shook his head. After saying so much, Niu Gao still couldn't help but go after the main force of the Jin army. There is no need to stop this kind of thing, as long as he comes back in time.

good.

Calling the generals, Wang Xiaolie said: "The Jin army has abandoned the camp and fled, leaving only a few soldiers and horses, and porters in the camp. We don't have to wait any longer, and take advantage of the night to rush into the Jin camp. Remember the distinction between soldiers.

Open, form a team of fifty people, and fight each other. Also, the porters are our common people in the Song Dynasty, so there is no need to make it difficult for them. As long as they do not participate in the battle, their lives must be saved."

The generals crossed their hands and said yes.

Wang Xiaoyou ordered Xue Cheng and Ma Chengzhong to lead two of them, 6,000 men, as the main force. Niu Gao's infantry provided cover, and the cavalry pursued the escapers and killed them towards the Jin camp.

Yelu Mawu was drinking wine in the camp when he heard shouting. He thought to himself: "He is indeed here!"

He called his generals out of the tent and said to them: "Your Majesty has left with the main force, and now there are only more than a thousand of us left. As you have seen in the past few days, nearly ten thousand soldiers and horses are no match for the Song army. How can we

Can we hold it? Return to the base camp quickly to assemble the troops. If the main force of the Song army does not come to kill us, we will leave now. The porters in the camp can still hold off the Song army for a while."

A general said: "The looted property is all in the porters' camp. Why don't we go pick up a few pieces and have something to say when we go home."

Yelu Ma Wu scolded: "It's a blessing to be able to go back alive. Money and silk are all that I have with me! Needless to say, go back and gather your troops quickly!"

The general refused to accept it and said loudly: "What a waste of life! Without money, wouldn't it be more uncomfortable than death?"

Yelu Mawu saw that the other people all had this idea. He couldn't help but cursed loudly: "You are all monsters even if you die without giving up money and silk! No need to say more, gather your troops and prepare to escape! This is a military order, is there anything wrong with it?

Anyone who obeys will be killed!"

Several generals had no choice but to curse and return to the military camp to assemble the troops.

Xue Cheng led his men and took advantage of the night to find the Jin Army's barracks. They saw that everything was deserted, and there were no sentries. When he was hesitating, two cavalrymen came over, crossed their hands and said: "The Jin Army has fled eastward. The camp

There are only porters left! We, under the orders of Niu Zongzong, monitor the Jin army here and can see clearly! The main force of the Jin army escaped an hour ago, and the remaining Jin army also ran away half an hour ago!"

Xue Cheng scolded: "These golden prisoners are really fast! They are not tough!"

After saying that, he ordered his men to enter the Jin camp. As long as they don't encounter the Jin army, no one is allowed to kill and the porters should be treated properly. The money in the military camp is not allowed to be snatched privately and should be disposed of in a unified way. After saying this, he lit the torch.

After chasing for thirty miles, the Jin army stopped temporarily, counted the men and horses there, and took a rest. Niu Gao, who was chasing behind, was overjoyed when he saw it. He ordered his subordinates to wrap their left arms with white cloth and divide them into small groups of fifty people, heading straight towards the Jin army.

Rush away.

When the Jin army got closer, the Song army fired arrows together and kept wandering around. When they saw an opportunity, they stepped forward to fight.

During the march, the Jin army did not have heavy armor, but the Song army used strong bows. For a while, they screamed again and again.

Ba Lisu's face changed greatly. He said: "No, the Song army is chasing us! If we are entangled by them here, the Song army will arrive tomorrow morning, and I'm afraid there will be no way out! More than thirty miles ahead is the Han River.

, it is safe only after crossing the Han River!"

After saying that, he hurriedly divided his troops into two parts, leaving a thousand men to block the Song army, while he took the rest to escape.

The Jin army originally numbered 10,000 people, but the number in the battle formation in front of Jingmen City was reduced by more than 3,000, and they were allotted to Yelu Ma with 5,000 people. Wanyan Yuying took away 1,000 people, and now another 1,000 people are left behind.

There are only 4,000 soldiers in the army.

After getting on the horse, he looked at the scene of constant fighting in the night and couldn't help but sigh. Last year when he crossed the river, he was in high spirits. I don't know how many Song troops were defeated and how many cities were taken. I didn't expect that it would be like this in the end.

Situation. At this time, we were deep into the hinterland of the Song Dynasty. We were defeated once. If we were not careful, our entire army would be annihilated. It was said that there were no strong enemies ahead, but in reality, there were still many dangers.

Seeing that the main force of the Jin army had escaped, Niu Gao let a small number of cavalry entangle the remaining Jin soldiers, and chased him for several miles. Seeing that the army was in good order, Niu Gao retreated again. The remaining thousand gold soldiers

, were all wiped out by Niu Gao's troops.

Assembling the troops, Niu Gao led the team back

At this time, the rice plants have reached their height, frogs are constantly chirping around, and a slanting moon hangs high overhead. The moonlight is like water, pouring down, and there are dappled lights and shadows on the road. You can't see the colors of the flowers around you, but you can smell the fragrance of them.

Niu Gao was excited after annihilating thousands of Jin troops, seizing their horses, weapons and armor. The last time he rescued Shaanzhou, Niu Gao was a rear guard and did not fight a big battle. This time, he finally became the main force against the Jin people.

Continuously achieved military exploits.

At this time, the real generals in Wang Xiao's hunting army were Shao Ling and Niu Gao, Cao Zhiyan was a little less powerful, and Yu Huan gradually stopped leading troops in battle. The lower levels of control gradually grew up, such as Wei Sheng, Zhong Ci, and Xue Cheng

Together with Ma Chengzhong and others, a talent echelon began to form. Zhang Jun was young and had never really led an army to fight, so he became a special talent and went to the guerrilla zone.

At this time, the generals were under great pressure. If there was no military merit and no performance on the battlefield, they would probably be replaced by someone who came up next. This kind of thing does not require Wang Xiaolie to be partial, everyone can see it.

Thinking of these things, Niu Gao looked at the moon in the sky and let out a sigh of relief. In this battle of Jingmen, his ability was verified, and he no longer had to be as anxious as in previous days. As a general, military merit is the first priority.

.

When I returned to Jin Camp, I saw that it was brightly lit and had been occupied by the Song Army.

In the commander's tent, Wang Xiaolie looked through the military documents left by the Jin army. Below, Yelu Mawu stood with his head lowered.

Niu Gao entered the commander's tent and made a promise to Wang Xiaolie.

Wang Xiaolie raised his head and looked at Niu Gao. He smiled and said, "Did you catch up with Bali Su? What was the result of the battle?"

Niu Gao said: "Return to defense and catch up. Pulling away was too cunning, so I left a thousand cavalry behind and escaped with the main force."

Wang Xiaolie said: "Ba Lisu is a veteran general. After countless battles, it will be good to catch up. In this battle, we wiped out about 5,000 Jin soldiers, took all their equipment, and captured a general.

, it’s considered a big victory.”

Niu Gao looked at Yelu Mawu next to him and wondered: "Before the army came to attack, Yelu Mawu should have led his troops to escape. How come he was caught?"

Wang Xiaoxing said: "You left a thousand cavalry. When you saw Yelu Mawu running away from the camp, he was entangled three miles away. Soon the army surrounded him. Seeing that there was no way out, he naturally surrendered. Hey, the Jin army invaded the south.

Over the years, is this the highest-ranking general captured?"

Niu Gao nodded, turned around and looked at Yelu Mawu, looking up and down. Yelu Mawu was tall, slightly fat, and had a fierce look on his face. There was an annoyance in his expression, and he looked obviously dissatisfied.

Seeing that Niu Gao kept looking at him, Yelu Mawu said angrily: "You man, just watch what I do!"

Niu Gao said: "Not on the battlefield, this is the first time I've seen such a high-ranking golden general like you. I'm blessed today, I'll look at you more."

Wang Xiaolie said: "If Yelv Mawu hadn't surrendered early and continued to flee eastward, I might have bumped into you. You two are destined to get to know each other. Among the Khitan generals who paid gold, few are as good as Yelu Mawu.

His official position is higher."

Niu Gao was completely relieved when he saw that Wang Xiaolie did not blame him for chasing Li Su. Wang Xiaolie's behavior in the past two days clearly showed that he did not want to fight a life and death battle with Jin Jun. Previously, Niu Gao was worried that he had not entangled Jin Jun.

The defender will be reprimanded.

Wang Xiaolie did not want to chase the Jin army too far away from his base, so he would not let them go. Niu Gao chased for thirty miles and came back in time. Of course Wang Xiaolie would not blame him. As soon as the main force of the Jin army ran away, the remaining porters

With no one to control them, the Song army all surrendered as soon as they arrived, and the war went very smoothly. Almost all of the baggage that Wang Xiaolie cared about most fell into his own hands.

The Jin army marched across Jiangxi and Hunan and looted a lot of wealth. At a glance, Wang Xiaolie was overjoyed. When he was most in need of money, with this wealth, many things would be easier to handle.

Relaxed, Niu Gao said: "Defense, I caught up with Bali Su thirty miles away. I fought with the Jin army and took some more packages. I opened them on the way and saw that they were mostly gold items. I think it was the Jin army who escaped.

At that time, I picked out valuable things and took them with me."

Wang Xiaolie nodded with a smile: "Jin people are used to being poor. How can they recognize so many jewelry when they suddenly become rich? In their eyes, the most valuable thing in the world is gold. If you snatch it away, it is the best

.In this way, we will be completely victorious!"

No matter how resolute Ba Lisu ran, he couldn't bear to lose all the money he had robbed. He picked some of the most valuable gold objects and fine silk and took them with him. Unexpectedly, Niu Gao chased after him quickly and was robbed again. Although

Five thousand gold soldiers escaped, but they were penniless.
