It took more than ten minutes of dawdling.
Moreover, it was impossible to complete the assembly.
The main problem was that they had run around in a disorderly manner before.
Unable to find their own troops
Even with braziers lit throughout the camp, it was still difficult to find one's way.
Some Jin dynasty militia were issued.
If you really can't find your team,
They simply mixed in with other units to make up the numbers.
They were still haphazardly approaching each other.
Suddenly, a deafening roar came from behind:
"Kill the Jurchens! Kill the Jurchen traitors!"
Li Bao finally arrived with his troops.
"There are enemies to the north! Turn around and face them immediately!"
"kill!"
Li Bao's three thousand loyal followers jogged along.
As they approached the Jin camp, they began to shout louder.
Chapter 3141 The Panicked Golden Men
Liu Sheng mingled among the conscription team.
He steeled himself and turned to face the enemy.
The troops were not fully assembled to begin with.
It got even more chaotic after walking about ten steps.
In the pitch black, they had no idea how many Ming soldiers had come to kill them.
Moreover, in both the north and south directions...
Ming troops were attacking from all sides.
"Run!"
As the battle cries of the Ming army grew closer,
The Jin national soldiers, their armor incomplete.
Finally, some people started to run away.
Liu Sheng was terrified when he was used as cannon fodder in the siege.
They were already like birds startled by the mere twang of a bow.
He was among the first militiamen to flee.
Moreover, he knew he couldn't go east.
That's the road back to Jinzhou.
The Ming army will definitely intercept and kill them.
The Jurchen soldiers would also kill deserters.
Almost subconsciously,
Liu Sheng then turned tail and fled westward.
Those are the labor camps and artisan camps.
Craftsmen such as Li Heshang and Du San
They were ordered by the Jurchen messengers not to move.
Let them wait in the camp until the battle is over.
It is permissible to issue permits to the fleeing militia.
The artisans and laborers were furious.
They scattered and fled without any rhyme or reason.
"Where to escape to?" Du San asked.
With a sob in his voice, Monk Li said:
"I don't know, let's run away first."
"If we escape back across the river, there shouldn't be any pursuers."
The number of Ming cavalry participating in the night raid was small.
Because Li Bao didn't have many cavalrymen.
These three thousand elite direct subordinates
More often, they landed with mules.
Then, on the night before the Jin army arrived,
They carried armor to the northern foothills to ambush the enemy.
Because Huyan Tong's troops were discovered by the Jin army...
Li Bao immediately led more than a hundred cavalrymen to launch the attack ahead of schedule.
The remaining elite infantrymen then accelerated their run and charge.
Where did those hundred-plus riders go?
They advanced directly into the eastern camp of the Jin army's main camp.
That's in the direction of Jinzhou.
Soldiers resting in the camp
There must be elite troops from the Jin Kingdom clearing the way!
When the Jin Dynasty issued contracts for militia, artisans, and laborers,
When they were frightened away by the sudden attack of Ming infantry,
Li Bao had already led over a hundred cavalrymen into the Jin army's eastern camp.
As Li Bao expected,
There are indeed a large number of elites here.
One-third of the Jin soldiers were on horseback.
The rest were all armored soldiers.
Jin soldiers with warhorses
He hurriedly donned his armor and mounted his horse.
They circled south in an attempt to attack Huyantong's flank.
The remaining Jin soldiers,
They then quickly assemble into small teams.
They moved closer to Wanyan Zongbi, who was blowing a horn.
There is no fence here.
It's just a matter of planting guns as a base.
Li Bao led over a hundred cavalrymen straight in.
Due to the hasty assembly in the darkness,
Those Jin soldiers were in groups of thirty to fifty.
Those who occasionally strayed had to be temporarily mixed into a group.
Many people put on their armor as they moved.
They weren't even fully dressed in their armor.
It was under these circumstances that
Li Bao led his troops to attack from the flank.
The first group of Jin soldiers we encountered.
There were about fifty armored soldiers.
They heard the sound of horses' hooves.
They initially thought it was their own cavalry heading towards the northern camp.
Return after completing the task of maintaining order.
There was absolutely no movement of turning around to form a defensive formation.
More than one hundred Ming cavalrymen
Just like that, charging in from the side.
They charged toward the fifty-odd elite Jin soldiers who were carrying scattered torches.
"It's the Ming army!"
The two sides closed to within twenty paces.
Finally, some Jin soldiers realized what was happening.
But it's too late.
Li Bao rode on the back of the treasure basin, his son
He charged in first,
He raised his spear and sent a Jin soldier flying.
He then thrust his spear sideways, striking another Jin soldier in the back.
Chapter 3142 A Great Victory
More than a hundred riders swept past behind them.
Dozens of Jin soldiers were either killed or wounded.
A few survivors were so frightened that they scattered and fled.
They continued charging forward.
Based on the position of the torch
They charged toward another group of Jin soldiers who were approaching the commander's tent.
This group of Jin soldiers also numbered only a few dozen.
In a panic, they turned and formed ranks.
They fired arrows indiscriminately at the Ming cavalry.
Li Bao led his troops past them from the flank.
He thrust his spear forward as they crossed paths.
Only about twenty people were killed or injured.
After passing by,
Li Bao did not return to exterminate them.
Instead, they continued charging towards another group of Jin soldiers.
