The drummers of the Song army outside the camp of the Jin army beat the drums of war all night, so that the 30,000 Han army stayed awake all night. They don't have to hide in tents and sleep without ear stuffing. Wrapped in thin leather armor and holding cold weapons, he was on guard all night in the cold winter of November.

At first, the war drums of the Song army could still cheer up these Han army, but after listening to it for most of the night, they no longer paid attention to it. Anyway, Zhang Wanhu has already said that the Song army is just a suspicious tactic.

In the early hours of the morning, the war drums of the Song army suddenly beat louder, but the early hours of the morning were also the most sleepy time for people, and the Han army guarding the camp wall was all drowsy. It wasn't until they heard an earth-shattering running sound that they opened their eyes in a panic.

They were surprised to see that thousands of strong Song soldiers, dressed in battle armor and armed with long knives and heavy axes, had already taken advantage of the last touch of night to kill hundreds of steps outside the camp wall. A large banner with the character Cao is rapidly approaching the camp wall.

Finally, a Han army ripped out his throat and shouted, "General Zhang, the Song army is attacking the camp." ”

Zhang Liusun, Wanhu of the Han'er Army, was a responsible officer, and Sha Gu ordered him to guard the camp, and he really stood on the camp wall all night. But this old fellow is almost fifty years old after all, and in the early hours of the morning, he couldn't stand it, closed his two red eyes and fell asleep for a while.

Almost at the same moment when the Han'er army gave a warning, Zhang Liusun also opened his eyes all of a sudden, looking at the overwhelming Song army outside the camp wall, Zhang Liusun fought a cold war, and he was completely sleepy. He swooped out the short knife at his waist, slashed over the two noisy Han Er soldiers with two swords, and shouted, "The Song army is just a rabble, vulnerable to a single blow." No one shall panic, and those who trespass will be killed, and those who shout will be killed. The crossbowmen prepared and released arrows to stop the Song army. The catapult was ready to throw out dozens of stones first, so that Song Jun could see blood. Beat the drums, blow the trumpet, and wake up the general Shaguzhi. ”

Following Zhang Liusun's order, the crossbowmen on the wall of the Jin military camp began to draw their bows and release arrows. Thousands of bows and arrows flew through the air, covering the forward of the Song army. According to past experience, a wave of bows and arrows could stop the Song army's offensive. But the Han Er army, who was waiting for cheers, was surprised to see that the rain of arrows shot down hundreds of people in the forward line of the Song army, but the other Song troops not only did not stop, but were no longer silent, and shouted in unison, "Kill the golden dog." "Carrying a long knife and a heavy axe, he rushed forward faster.

Unconsciously, Zhang Liusun's palms were full of cold sweat. His eyes were fixed on the huge Caozi battle flag, staring at the big man holding a long knife under the battle flag. It turned out to be Cao Cheng's pro-army, no wonder everyone wore armor and was so brave.

Zhang Liusun couldn't help but turn his head to look at the tent of the Jin army, because he didn't have the confidence to block Cao Cheng's stealing camp.

Cao Cheng's stealing camp this time can be said to be inevitable. Years of green forest career trained Cao Cheng's military talents. Cao Cheng's plan to present the suspicious soldiers to Zong Ze last night was not just a simple tactic of doubtful soldiers. This morning's assault on the camp was also included.

In order to succeed in one fell swoop, Cao Cheng gathered all the 5,000 most elite warriors in the army and acted as the vanguard of the attack camp. The 5,000 warriors were all standard heavy infantry equipment, wearing infantry armor and armed with long knives and heavy axes.

In order to boost morale, Cao Cheng wore a helmet and armor and went to the battle array in person. Although Ma Hong and Liu You repeatedly persuaded Cao Cheng to let Yang Zaixing, who had not slept all night, act as a striker, Cao Cheng was determined to show off in front of Zong Ze this time, and decisively refused the reminders of the two righteous brothers.

The first wave of bows and arrows of the Han'er army did not play a big role, and the heavy armor protection on the five thousand strong men was excellent. But when the strong men braved the rain of arrows and rushed to a distance of only a hundred steps from the Jin barracks wall, the simple catapult designed by the great traitor Liu Guangding for the Jin soldiers finally began to exert its might.

Liu Guang was originally a scholar of Yandi. When the Jin soldiers broke through the Liao, they killed his entire family, young and old, and escaped from him alone. Liu Guangding also had the intention of revenge at that time, and ran to the Great Song Dynasty alone, wanting to write to the Song Emperor and suggest that Lianliao invade Jin. But at that time, all the officials in the world understood that Song Huizong wanted to join Jin Poliao, and of course they would not give Liu Guangding a chance to meet Song Huizong.

Liu Guangding stayed in the capital for more than a year, and became a beggar. Later, he went to a brothel in Xiangzhou and made a big teapot. It may be that the white eyes of the Song people made Liu Guangding die of the idea of revenge. Anyway, when Jin Bing went south for the first time, Liu Guangding wore a robe and a Dongpo hat and went to see Zongwang.

After seeing Zongwang, Liu Guangding presented a catapult designed by himself. This kind of catapult is similar to the Song army, but the range is twenty or thirty steps farther than that of the Song army. Zong Wang was overjoyed, rewarded Liu Guangding with 3,000 taels of silver, and was named the secretary of the army.

For several years, the Jin army attacked cities and plundered land, often carrying improvised trebuchets with the army. It can be said that a series of siege equipment designed by Liu Guangding made a lot of contributions to Jin Bing. This person also forgot about the revenge of the Jin soldiers, and began to serve the Jin soldiers wholeheartedly.

Shagu crossed the river in order to break through the Bishui Pass, so the army carried a hundred catapults. However, as the world's male pass, Bishui Pass has long been installed by Li Cheng with no less than 300 bed crossbows on the city. Compared to the distance that a bed crossbow can shoot at 1,500 paces, a catapult that can throw 800 paces is nothing. More than 30 catapults were damaged by the bed crossbow, and Sha Guzhi withdrew the remaining catapults from the battle formation.

However, the remaining sixty or so catapults showed the terrifying power on Cao Cheng's head. Seeing that the strong men of the Song army had approached the wall of the Jin military camp, dozens of huge stones suddenly bounced out of the wall of the Jin military camp and smashed into the middle of the camp formation of the five thousand strong soldiers.

Hundreds of pounds of stones fell from the sky, and no matter how good the step armor was, it couldn't play any role. The strong man who was hit couldn't even let out a scream, and he had already lost his breath. And the smashed stone rolled in the ranks of the strong men by inertia, and everywhere they went, they screamed again and again.

Because the queue of the charge was too close, it just allowed the catapult to play its role to the extreme. Three waves of stones fell, and the five thousand strong men were already smashed to pieces.

Seeing stones falling into the sky with a sharp sound of wind, Cao Cheng's eyes were as red as blood. Although this is the elite choice of his 100,000 troops, if he is smashed like this by the golden dog, he will definitely collapse.

Cao Cheng was about to shout the order to retreat. But at this time, the strong men who rushed to the front had already arrived under the camp wall. A strong man with a heavy axe took a deep breath, then exhaled and slashed at the thick trunks of the trees, cutting out a deep mark in the three thick trunks.

The strong man was about to slash another axe when an arrow came down from above and struck him in the neck. The strong man's body shook and fell diagonally against the camp wall, red blood flowing down the barked trunk.

But soon another strong man swung the heavy axe in his hand, and slashed down again, slashing the thick camp wall to a slash. But then dozens of arrows were fired at his mountain-strong body.

One by one, strong men fell, but then more strong men rushed up. Although the trunk of the tree where the golden soldiers were camped was thick, it was soon cut to pieces. Finally, under the chopping of a strong man, the camp wall of the Jin soldiers finally broke a hole.

The strong men of the Song army cheered in unison. This also made Cao Cheng, who was resigned, grit his teeth again, and pointed forward with the long knife in his hand, "The camp wall of the golden dog is broken, brothers rush!" ”

When the demoralized warriors saw that victory was imminent, they immediately plucked up their courage and rushed towards the wall of the Jin military camp with a shout in unison.

If Cao Cheng saw Zhang Liusun's face, he would definitely not charge again. Zhang Liusun, who saw the crack of the camp wall, not only did not look panicked, but showed a cruel smile on his face.

A strong soldier of the Song army with a fierce face swung his long knife horizontally, and finally slashed down the camp wall in front of him with one sword. The strong man shouted happily and rushed into the golden camp with his long knife in tow. But it was not the panicked Han'er Army that greeted the fierce and strong men, but hundreds of iron horsemen of the Jin Army with complete armor.

Brother Qianhu of the Jin Army smiled coldly at the strong man of the Song Army in front of him, the long knife in his hand swept over, and the head of the strong man with an unwilling face flew into the air.

The reason why the Jin army's reaction was extremely fast was precisely because although they hid in the tent to sleep last night, they did not take off their armor and did not unsaddle their horses. As soon as the Han'er army beat the first golden drum, all the Jin troops turned over and rose.

The quickest responder, Qianhu Liuge, did not wait for Sha Guzhi's order, but after gathering hundreds of cavalry troops, he had already driven his horse behind the shaking camp wall.

The strong men of the Song army split a portal for themselves, but they also opened a portal for the assault of the Jin army's iron cavalry.

After Brother Qianhu Liuge slashed the elite and strong men, he led the army to kill along the broken wall without hesitation.

If the strong men wearing foot armor form a phalanx, not to mention the Jurchen Iron Cavalry of Brother Liu, even the most elite Flying Tiger Army of Dajin, they may not dare to face it head-on. But at this time, thousands of strong men were already in disarray.

In the face of the sudden counterattack of hundreds of iron horsemen, the strong men had almost no power to fight back. Although the catapult of the golden soldiers stopped projecting, the battle situation was even more tragic than just now. Hundreds of Jurchen Iron Cavalry danced with weapons in their hands, constantly killing carefully selected Song army heroes.

Although the strong men of the Song army were not afraid of death, they all waved their battle axes to block the front of the iron cavalry, trying to give the comrades behind a little time to form a team. But no matter how desperate the infantry is in the queue, it is just a living rake of the cavalry.

The moment Cao Cheng saw hundreds of iron horsemen breaking through the wall, he already understood that today's stealing camp had failed. Not only did the stealing camp fail, maybe these 5,000 Electors would die here today.

When Liu You saw Cao Cheng's dark face, he immediately understood Cao Cheng's thoughts, and immediately said, "Brother Cao, the golden dog's reaction is too fast. It seems that the camp has failed, so let's leave. ”

Cao Cheng said a little embarrassed, "We escaped, and these five thousand brothers are planted here." Let's hold on a little longer, maybe our cavalry will be killed. ”

Ma Hong sneered and said extremely sinisterly, "Brother Cao, we can't put our hopes on Yue Fei's guy. Everyone can see that Yue Fei, the strength of the big brother, has been saying bad things about you in front of Zong Shuai, which made Zong Shuai alienate the big brother. Do you think Yue Fei will come to the rescue? Brother Cao, don't hesitate, hurry up and give the order to retreat. ”

Cao Yuan had to hold on for a while, but the gate of the golden camp suddenly opened at this time, and thousands of iron horsemen of Shagu quality came out like a flood. Cao Cheng no longer hesitated, and shouted hoarsely, "Mingjin retreats." Brothers, withdraw. ”
