Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Chapter 17 Reinforcement
It's been four days.Wang Xiaohun leads his troops out every day to harass the Jin army.However, the sense of proportion was well grasped. As soon as the Jin army assembled, he immediately brought his troops back.Apart from the casualties of eight 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 siege.In this way, the people in the city gradually felt relieved, no longer afraid, and became more and more calm in preparing supplies for Wang Xiaohun's department.

In the evening of the fifth day, the Jin army outside the city began to eat, and the city also relaxed.Wang Xiaohun made a round of inspection, got off the city wall, and was about to go back to the county government for dinner.Suddenly, Shao Ling in the city shouted: "Xiaosheren, come and see, is there reinforcements coming from outside?"

Wang Xiaohun heard this and hurriedly climbed the city wall.I saw that in the mountains south of the city, there were flags of the Song army, moving to and fro.

After watching for a while, Wang Xiaohun said: "I don't know if it is reinforcements, but there must be Song troops nearby. Looking at their appearance, I don't know what to say to us. You raise a flag here, and wave to them as a sign. We know they're coming."

Shao Ling took the lead.He ordered his soldiers to raise their flags and wave them there.What it means to shake, then no one knows.

When Wang Xiaohun saw it, he suddenly remembered that if there was a semaphore in the army, it would still be useful at this time.If there is an opportunity in the future, a set of semaphore should be stipulated and popularized in the military.If there is such a thing, the two parties can contact in time.

After watching for a while, seeing the flag over there disappearing, Shao Ling ordered his soldiers to put away the flag.

Wang Xiaohun said: "I only saw the flag waving to and fro, and I don't know what it means. So, be careful here, always pay attention to that side. If there is news, report it to me in time. We saw it, Jin Ying. The Jin army in the middle must have seen it too. If there is no accident, the Jin army will send troops to drive them away. If there is a chance, we must help them in time."

Shao Ling crossed hands and said yes.Wang Xiao hunted down the city wall and went to the county office to rest.

The Jin army arrived suddenly and did not bring siege equipment.He was harassed by Wang Xiao every day, and the siege was ineffective.If reinforcements came at this time, Wang Xiaohun might have won this battle.

In the age of cold weapons, in addition to the height of the city and the depth of the pond, the most important thing for defending the city wall is to dare to fight.If you are surrounded by the city for a long time, the city will eventually fall.Only dare to fight and rush, and constantly go out of the city to harass the enemy, especially destroying various siege equipment made by the enemy in advance, is the most effective.The city is not only to prevent the enemy from attacking, but more importantly, it is a good attack base.What the enemy is doing outside the city can be seen clearly on the wall, but what the enemy is doing outside the city cannot be seen.

Ten years later, Chen Gui guarded the De'an House and wrote his own experience into a book "Shoucheng Lu", which especially emphasized this point.It's just that Wang Xiaohun didn't know this, but he could see that the city couldn't be defended.

In the middle of the night, Wang Xiaohun put on his armor and rectified his troops and horses in front of the county government.In the past few days, he has been out of the city every day, but the time is not fixed.Tonight, Wang Xiaohun is preparing to leave the city in the middle of the night.

At this moment, Xie Linong, who was guarding the city, hurried in.Crossed hands and said: "Xiaosheren, a person came from outside the city, saying that it was reinforcements. The subordinate ordered the person to put down the rope and let him go up the city, just outside the yamen!"

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

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

Wang Xiaohun saw that this man was kind, but he couldn't remember his name or where he had seen him.He asked, "Are you sent by reinforcements from outside the city? Who is your last name? Where did the reinforcements come from outside?"

The man said: "The little one's name is Qiao Yan, and he was originally a general under the Ding Du Patrol in the capital. He met Xiao Sheren a few days ago—"

Wang Xiaohun listened and nodded: "So it is! No wonder you have a good face, but I just can't remember it."

Qiao Yan said: "The villain has only seen Xiao Sheren once, and that's how it is. A few days ago, when Ding Du was in Yong'an, he suddenly encountered the Jin army, so he sent Yu Huan and Yu Ti to cross the river to attack the Jin army. I didn't want Yu Tiju to lead the army across the river, so Ding Duxun was killed and scattered by the Jin army. There is no way, these days Yu Tiju took us and wandered around all the time. When the Jin army was besieged, he came to defect."

Wang Xiaohun nodded, but did not speak for a while.

Obviously, Yu Huan couldn't have heard about it just now.Thinking of the day Ding Jin was killed and scattered, Yu Huan had already taken people across the river, but instead he took the army to save it.Ding Jin was unable to catch up, so he led the team around.Wang Xiaohun didn't know that in Gongxian City, he guarded Gongxian these days, and the Jin army was devastated by the killing, and it had already spread all around.

After four or five days, the Jin Army hurriedly retreated north.Anyone could see that Wang Xiaohun had defended Gong County in this battle.With such a big victory, Wang Xiaohun's future is boundless.Yu Huan had nowhere to go, and he didn't have the courage to stand on his own, so he came to defect.

Gongxian seems to be surrounded by the Jin army, but it is not actually a dead city.As long as the Jin army retreats, Wang Xiaohun will be the defender of the city.At this moment when the Song army was losing and retreating, it was a great encouragement to the army and the people of the Song Dynasty to have such a great achievement.

After thinking for a while, Wang Xiaohun said: "Yu Tixia sent you here, I don't know what to say?"

Qiao Yan said: "Returning to Xiaosheren, it's been a long time since I have been watching the Jinjun siege, and there will be a shortage of food in the city. I have collected some military rations nearby, and I am willing to send them into the city to help Xiaosheren defend the city. Prepare outside the city. Now, just wait for Xiaoshe to respond."

Wang Xiaohun asked, "How to respond?"

Qiao Yan said: "Originally, as long as Xiaosheren decided, I would take it out of the city. It's just that Jinying has been attacked by Xiaosheren every night, and it is not easy to get out of the city. When the army raided the camp, he entered the city from the south of the city."

Wang Xiaohun thought for a while and said, "That's fine. Tonight, I'll go out of the west gate and come back from the south gate of the city. For the past few days, I have been going in and out from the east and west gates, but this time when I came back from the city gate, Jin Bing couldn't think of it. Yu Huan did it well. Get ready, it's not difficult to get into the city."

At this time, the siege of the city cannot be surrounded by iron barrels without any flaws.The Jin Army has only 2000 people, and it is even more impossible.If there are only a few people, no matter whether they go out from the city or enter the city from outside the city, it will be difficult for the Jin army to stop them.

If Wang Xiao hunted out of the city to attack the camp and Yu Huan cooperated from outside the city, Jin Jun would not be able to stop him if he was not prepared.The Jin army has been shaken, and there are reinforcements in the city, and they are even less willing to continue the siege.

I ordered someone to take Qiao Yan down to rest.Wang Xiaohun ordered people to call Shao Ling and Cao Zhiyan to discuss together.

Speaking of the news of Yu Huan's arrival, Wang Xiaohun 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 the food, which is exactly what the city needs. After we left the city tonight, he came from the south of the city. It's not easy for Jin Jun to stop him. The only thing is that we haven't seen Yu Huan for a long time. I don't know what he has done these days. To put it horribly, if he surrendered to the Jin and came to gain our city, some Difficult to do."

Xie Linong nodded: "What Xiaosheren said is true. From what I see, you can't trust others. It's better to slash this Qiao Yan with a knife and just say that he died in the golden camp. Who knows? We have kept these days, Jin Jun should also retire."

Wang Xiaohun shook his head: "How can you do this? If Yu Huan really brought troops to help, we would kill good people by mistake."

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

Wang Xiaohun didn't say anything, just shook his head.

What Xie Linong said was not too much.At this time, the Song Dynasty basically did not have a unified imperial command.The primary task of each unit is to protect itself.As long as you suspect, you can kill.Wang Xiaohun did it, maybe someone would praise him for being cautious.

Just how could Wang Xiaohun do such a thing?If I killed the wrong person this time, how could someone follow me in the future?Doubt in your heart, just be prepared.How can we grow and develop without being able to accommodate people?

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

Shao Ling said: "As soon as we entered Gong County, the Jin army followed. This must be the soldiers and horses chasing Han Tongzhi from Luoyang City. How many people can the Jin army send now? There are 2000 people outside the city, and there must be no Jin army around .What is Yu Huan's reason for dropping the gold? It's just a matter of being fully prepared."

Wang Xiaohun nodded.He asked Cao Zhiyan again, "What do you think it should be?"

Cao Zhiyan said, "Yu Huan was the one who watched to cross the river. When the Jin army was chasing Ding Jin, how could he catch up? Then the Jin army all came after us, so how could there be any spare power to deal with Yu Huan! In my opinion, Don't think about it, just bring them into the city!"

Wang Xiaohun nodded and was silent for a while.I am the leader of this army, and my primary task is to ensure safety.What Cao Zhiyan said made sense, but he couldn't be so simple.If you are careless, it may be irreversible.
