But that night, Wanyan Jilie, the king of Zhuozhou County of Jin Dynasty, and his 40,000 officers and soldiers under his tent, wanted to cross the Wen River at night to attack the Yanzhou troops on the south bank. Since the Jin soldiers had been stationed here for many days, they had already explored the depth of the upper waters. Moreover, the Wen River flowed through the Taishan Mountains, and the river had many pebbles and little mud and sand at the bottom, so the Jin soldiers could wade across the river in shallow water. In addition, Wanyan Jilie asked the soldiers to collect many wooden boards of ships in nearby villages, and only built a floating bridge in the narrow river channel, allowing more soldiers to cross the river quickly.

After crossing the Wenhe River, the Jin soldiers quietly surrounded Sun Wenhu's camp. However, after only half of the journey, they saw their camp on fire. Several soldiers came to report to Wanyan Jilie. When Wanyan Hong saw the fire in the camp, he hurried over to ask his father for instructions.

"Father, it's not good. Our camp seems to be on fire!"

Wanyan Jilie stood up and looked at the camp on the north bank. Seeing that the fire was already big and knew it was no longer saved, he said to the generals: "This must be because the soldiers used fire accidentally and ignited several camps. Don't worry, our current mission is to attack the Song army camp. As long as we successfully block this Song army, there will be more cities and towers for you to live in!"

Wanyan Jilie was a veteran general who had been leading troops for many years. When he saw the military camp being burned, he expected that it was very likely that the Song army elsewhere had taken the opportunity to attack the camp and raid his retreat. However, Wanyan Jilie only said that the soldiers accidentally burned the tent with fire, and did not want the soldiers under the tent to panic for a moment. Besides, most of Wanyan Jilie's soldiers followed him across the river, and even if they lost the big village, they would not lose their vitality. Therefore, Wanyan Jilie did not want to withdraw their troops. If they continued to attack Sun Wenhu's camp at this time, they would still have the possibility of winning with the existing troops in their hands.

"I will order my army to continue to advance as planned and kill the Song army camp!" Wanyan Jilie obviously had no intention of withdrawing the troops. As soon as the order was issued, 40,000 troops were still brave and rushed to Sun Wenhu's camp like wild wolves on the grassland.

In fact, the flames of the Jin soldiers camp can not only be seen by Wanyan Jilie's men, but also by Sun Wenhu's men. Although Sun Wenhu doesn't have many talents, there are soldiers standing guard at night. The sentries found that the fire broke out on the other side of the Jin soldiers camp, and they didn't know what happened. They hurriedly reported to Sun Wenhu who was sleeping. After Sun Wenhu got the report, he got up and went out to see it. Sure enough, he saw the fire on the other side of the river soaring into the sky, and there was a faint sound of shouting and killing. Sun Wenhu didn't know what happened on the other side of the river, so he didn't dare to send troops easily. He just asked the sentries to carefully guard the river bank. If he saw Jin soldiers crossing the river, they would all be killed.

Just when Sun Wenhu was hesitating, a soldier came to report urgently, "Report to the prefect, you will find the activities of Jin soldiers in the east of the camp!"

"What? To the east? How could there be Jin soldiers in the east? Let's go and inquire!"

"Report!" At this time, another soldier rushed in and replied: "Report to Lord Sun, and Jin soldiers were also found in the west!"

"What, damn it! What's going on? The Jin soldiers camp on the opposite side is on fire. Why are there any Jin soldiers coming to us? Explore again!"

Before Sun Wenhu finished speaking, another soldier rushed in in a panic. "Sir, no, the Jin soldiers are coming to us! They are about to kill our camp!"

After hearing this, Sun Wenhu's mind was completely confused. He didn't know what happened tonight, why did the golden camp suddenly catch fire? Why did so many enemies suddenly come to him?

"Sir, what should we do!" Several generals who rushed over after hearing the news also asked one after another.

Sun Wenhu glared at his eyes and cursed: "What else can I do? Use weapons to defend the enemy quickly. It's not that easy for the Jin soldiers to come to rob the camp. I, Sun Wenhu, are not so easy to bully!" After that, he took out his armor and pulled out his sword, and took a group of soldiers below to face the enemy.

At this time, most of Sun Wenhu's men were still sleeping in the camp. They were suddenly awakened by the war drums. They rubbed their eyes and put on armor to fight against the enemy. The Song army hurriedly took out the weapons and rushed outside the camp. However, they saw that Wanyan Jilie's men and horses were approaching. Sun Wenhu knew that he had no way out, so he had to command 30,000 soldiers to fight to the death. For a moment, the two armies met in close combat, fighting each other in a circle. The dead grass on the ground was dyed red with blood, and corpses were piled up all over the field. The Song and Jin armies met on a narrow road, and a bloody and cruel battle was inevitable.

Just when the fighting on the south bank of Wenhe River was so fierce, Liu Yixuan's soldiers who came to the north bank to rescue did not have a moment of leisure. Liu Yixuan thought that Wanyan Gillie would leave a larger part of the troops to guard the camp, but when he rushed into the camp, he realized that the Jin soldiers agreed to have less than two thousand infantry, which was equivalent to leaving only an empty village on the north bank. Seeing that the Jin soldiers were almost all out of their way, Liu Yixuan expected that the pressure on Sun Wenhu on the south bank would be great. The Jin soldiers' combat ability was stronger than the Song army, not to mention that they were prepared. If Sun Wenhu had no plans for the moment, he would not be defeated and fled. Therefore, he said to Liu Hao, the garrison of Xiangzhou:

"General Liu, the Jin soldiers are all out tonight. I am afraid that Sun Wenhu will not be able to stop the Jin soldiers' attack. If he is defeated by the Jin soldiers, wouldn't we have a waste of effort? In my opinion, we should go to the south bank to reinforce quickly!"

When Liu Hao heard the shouting of killing Zhentian in the south bank, he also expected that there was a fierce battle there, so he said, "When we came, King Kang only asked us to take the opportunity to rob the camp. In order to let us wait for the river to support us, I think it would be better to ask King Kang for instructions before making a decision!"

"How could that happen? King Kang is still in Shagouji, and it is more than ten miles away. I am afraid it will be dawn every time. I don't think it's too late. While Sun Wenhu is still fighting with the Jin people, we should provide reinforcements in time and never watch our own brothers die in vain, right?"

Liu Hao thought for a moment, and felt that what Liu Yixuan said was reasonable, so he nodded and said, "What my brother said was reasonable, okay, then we will go to the south bank to reinforce, but we don't know the depth of the river, so how can we cross the river from where?"

Liu Yixuan smiled and said, "What's the difficulty? Wherever the Jin soldiers cross the river, we will cross the river from! As I saw, there must be a floating bridge built by the Jin soldiers not far away. As long as we look along the river bank, we will be looking for it."

After saying that, Liu Yixuan asked the soldiers to light a torch and walked upstream along the river bank. Sure enough, less than two miles away, he saw that the floating bridge built by the Jin soldiers was still there. Liu Yixuan led the soldiers to jump onto the floating bridge and ran to the south bank. The tens of thousands of soldiers stepped across the floating bridge and hurriedly went ashore, heading straight to the bloody battle between Sun Wenhu and the Jin soldiers. (To be continued)
