After this chaos, nearly 5000 men and horses were lost. What made Wanyan Zonghan even more angry was that the withdrawal order he had issued before was unable to evacuate smoothly due to the bombardment of artillery shells. Instead, Zhao Yingluo rushed and killed him with 1 men. Everything is in disarray.
Seeing Zhao Yingluo's soldiers and horses rushing towards him, Wanyan Zonghan did not dare to neglect, picked up the mace in his hand and rushed towards the opponent.
Soon the officers and men of the two armies came to grips with each other and fought together.
The battle lasted for a full hour. Wanyan Zonghan suddenly felt bad when he saw that his side had suffered heavy losses, while the other side had only lost 2000 troops.
He knew that it would be difficult to win this battle today, and he suspected that there were still artillery troops in Xingzhou City who had not left the city to fight.
If he continues to entangle himself, he might lose more men and horses.
Thinking of this, he decisively ordered the withdrawal of troops.
Upon seeing this, Zhao Yingluo gave an order, and the kerosene, gunpowder and hay that had been prepared on the city wall were dropped one after another.
A raging fire ignited in the Jin Army's camp, with smoke billowing and flames blazing.
Wanyan Zonghan fled in a hurry. He didn't expect that the opponent would be so cunning and even attack with fire.
The 20-strong army was burned to pieces and was in a miserable state.
Seeing the fire gradually extinguished, Wanyan Zonghan stood on the fire scene with a livid face, "Give me the order! Continue the attack tomorrow! I will definitely capture her this time!"
All the soldiers were shocked when they heard that they would attack Xingzhou City tomorrow.
You must know that they have lost nearly 5 troops in today's battle, and they were defeated by the opponent's mere [-] troops.
Are you going to attack tomorrow? Isn't this self-defeating? But none of them dared to speak out against it.
Wanyan Zonghan gave an order and the army retreated.
That night Wanyan Zonghan tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, "How could a mere woman come up with such a plan? And also know how to use fire to attack? It's really disgusting."
Thinking that he had been defeated twice by a woman, both times by the same strategy, he became angry and said, "This hatred is irreconcilable!"
Early the next morning Wanyan Zonghan arrived at Xingzhou City again with the remaining 15 troops.
Wanyan Zonghan gave an order, the cavalry was in front and the infantry was behind, they opened up their formation and launched a fierce attack towards Xingzhou City.
Zhao Yingluo on the city wall responded calmly and ordered three thousand gunmen to line up in three rows, with 1000 people in each row, to fight on their own.
After the first row of firecrackers finished shooting, the second row of firecrackers immediately filled in and fired continuously.
This tactic of three platoons shooting in turns cost the Jin army a heavy price.
Wanyan Zonghan suddenly felt bad when he saw that his side had suffered heavy losses, but the other party seemed not to have suffered any losses.
He knew that it would be difficult to win this battle today, and he suspected that there were still artillery troops in Xingzhou City who had not left the city to fight.
If he continues to entangle himself, he might lose more men and horses.

That night Wanyan Zonghan tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, "How could a mere woman come up with such a plan? And also know how to use fire to attack? It's really disgusting."
Thinking that he had been defeated three times by a woman, and all of them failed by the same strategy, he became angry and said, "This hatred is irreconcilable!"
In the early morning of the third day, Wanyan Zonghan arrived at Xingzhou City again with the remaining [-] troops.
This time he learned wisely and did not attack rashly. Instead, he sent spies to investigate first.
After two days and two nights of rest, his army had regained its combat effectiveness.
This time he must act steadily and capture that hateful woman!
The spy quickly returned from the investigation, "Report to the general! There seems to be no movement in Xingzhou City! There are not many defenders on the city wall! It seems that we can attack!"
Wanyan Zonghan was overjoyed when he heard this, "Send the order! Attack with all your strength!"
A hundred thousand troops immediately launched a fierce attack on Xingzhou City.
This time they learned to be smarter and were no longer as aggressive as before.
They sent some old, weak, sick and disabled soldiers to lead the battle to test the opponent's firepower.
After confirming that there were no firecrackers, they sent out elite troops to attack.
Seeing those old, weak, sick and disabled soldiers fall down one by one, Wanyan Zonghan was overjoyed, "It seems that there are really no fire gun soldiers this time!"
When he was about to order an all-out attack, he found a row of firecrackers suddenly appearing on the city wall! And this time there were 5000 people! Wanyan Zonghan's expression changed drastically, and he realized that he had fallen into the opponent's plan again! "Everyone retreat!" he shouted loudly.
However, it was too late. The firecrackers on the city wall had already opened fire. The sound of dense firecrackers sounded, and the soldiers of the Jin Army fell one by one.
Seeing this, Wanyan Zonghan had no choice but to bite the bullet and lead the army to retreat.
In this battle, the Jin army once again lost 5 troops, and was defeated by the opponent's mere 5000 troops.
Wanyan Zonghan stood on the fire scene, feeling extremely painful in his heart, "This hatred is irreconcilable!"
He made up his mind to capture that hateful woman in Xingzhou City! In the early morning of the fourth day, Wanyan Zonghan arrived at Xingzhou City again with the remaining [-] troops.
This time he was more cautious. He sent spies to investigate first, and only ordered the attack after confirming that there were no firecrackers.
However, no matter how they attack, they will be repelled by the firecrackers on the city wall.
Seeing this, Wanyan Zonghan had no choice but to order the withdrawal of troops again.
In this battle, the Jin army lost nearly 6 troops, but the opponent seemed not to leave the city to fight at all.
Wanyan Zonghan was extremely angry, "Send the order! Continue the attack tomorrow! I will definitely capture her this time!"
All the soldiers were shocked when they heard that they would attack Xingzhou City tomorrow.
They have lost nearly 10 troops, and were defeated by the opponent's mere [-] troops.
Are you going to attack tomorrow? Isn't this self-defeating? However, none of them dared to speak out against it.
Wanyan Zonghan gave an order and the army retreated.
That night Wanyan Zonghan tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, "How could a mere woman come up with such a plan? And also know how to use fire to attack? It's really disgusting."
Thinking that he had been defeated four times by a woman, and all of them were defeated by the same strategy, he became angry and said, "This hatred is irreconcilable!"
