On the afternoon of the fourth day, twenty miles southeast of Jing'an City...
Yao Gu is worthy of being the old commander in the northwest. Although he is cautious, once he makes a decision, he will do his best to achieve it. Under his command, the three armies in front, middle and back are closely connected and support each other. The two wings are protected by horses. When either side is attacked, this strict formation will be equipped with the strongest force to counterattack. Yao Gu has only one order, which is to hold it into a group at any cost. Even if it is difficult to advance, he will hold it into a group and will never give the enemy any chance of division.
When breaking through, once divided by the enemy, it means defeat.
The Jin army obviously despised the strength of the Northwest Army and did not understand this person. They took it for granted that as long as the Song army broke through and as long as they surrounded each other, the Song army would be panicked and then exposed fatal flaws. However, since the Song army all left the city and gave them the opportunity to form a formation, the Jin army was stumped by the huge breakthrough battle formation in front of them. This breakthrough formation was like a crazy-headed wild buffalo. Its huge body and amazing power made the Jin army complain, and as a result, it made it run wildly and advance for more than ten miles in a destructive and destructive force. It stopped it until Zong Wang transferred more troops to stop it. (Browse on mobile phone.) If it continues to rampant, it will meet with the rescue Song army.
Zong Wang felt the strength of the Song army for the first time. He once wanted to order Zong Fu and Zong Bi to be transferred to Bailu Town, but considering that Li Hu and Hu Lie Army were unknown, he did not dare to transfer all the troops to the north bank of Hulu River.
If Yao Gu's breakthrough Zong Wang was extremely surprised, then the king's persistence made him angry. It was originally planned to be eliminated for two hours, but now Shen Shichu is at its peak, and it is already three hours. The king is still gritting his teeth and struggling on the battlefield of Bailu Town, without any intention of giving up. If he continues to fight at this level, even if it gets dark, the Jin army may not be able to wipe out the Song Dynasty reinforcements.
After Wang turned from attack to defense, he immediately contracted and set up a defensive battle formation similar to a turtle shell. It was this airtight battle formation that blocked the attack of the Jin army. They could only cut their flesh like cutting, one by one. Although the fierce attack can achieve results, the attack speed is too slow, and their own casualties are also very large. (Full format e-book download]
The 100,000 Jin army besieged 20,000 people, and had an absolute advantage. The army actually attacked for three consecutive hours without eating them. This not only made Zong Wang and a group of Jin generals stunned, but also directly affected the situation of the battle, causing the entire situation to begin to lose control.
Because of Yao Gu's continuous advancement, Zong Wang had to urgently draw troops from the battlefield of Bailu Town. With fewer troops encircling and annihilation of the king, the Jin army's attack was more difficult and slower. In this way, the king was equal to dragging the army, which led to Zong Wang being unable to surround Yao Gu according to the predetermined plan. Yao Gu thus won precious time and commanded the army to break through the siege, and the distance between them and the king became closer and closer. The closer the two armies were, the greater the pressure on the Jin army, the more anxious the commanders of the army were, and the attacks of the Jin army became more and more impatient, and even lost the rules.

Zong Wang realized that if he continued to fight like this, the Jin army would be very likely to lose sight of one thing and not completely annihilated the king, but also allow Yao Gu to break through successfully. Although there are still five thousand crossbowmen on the south bank of the Hulu River, it can ensure that the breakout Song army will be hit by the Song army. So far, there has been no support army that suddenly appeared under Xindu City yesterday. (Latest and most complete e-book download) Whether this army is Li Hu's Tiger Army or the Northwest Army that rushed from the south bank of the Yellow River, it will appear on the battlefield. In other words, the five thousand crossbowmen on the south bank of the Hulu River may not guarantee that the Song army will be wiped out.
Zong Wang planned to give up the King of Annihilation and instead mobilized the main force to surround Yao Gu. If Yao Gu broke through and left, his face would be ugly. The Jin army surrounded Yao Gu for more than ten days, but the circumference was not clear, and in the end he actually made him break through and left. This would definitely become a joke in Huanglong Mansion, and he could not afford to lose this person.
At this moment, Liu Yanzong arrived on a horse, "Deputy Commander, news is coming from Hengshui City."
Zong Wang's expression was slightly tightened, and he turned to look at Liu Yanzong. He was eager to know the news about Zong Fu and the exact location of the army that appeared under Xindu City yesterday.
"Deputy Commander, Zong Fu, Zong Bizheng led his army to fight fiercely with the Song army on the south bank of Hulu River." Liu Yanzong was a little panting, with a layer of fine beads of sweat on his forehead. "That army is the Zhe Family Army, with about 20,000 people, and the attack is extremely fierce.

"Where is another reinforcement?"
"Zongfu sent scouts to investigate. There was only a defensive army of thousands of people under Xindu City, so he estimated that the army might have arrived in Wuyi and planned to cross the river from Wuyi to the north."
Zong Wang raised his eyebrows slightly and asked hurriedly: "Can Wanyan get news?"
"Wanyan reported that his scouts were scattered within thirty miles of the south bank of Hulu River, and no Song army was found so far."
"Where are other parties?" Zong Wang asked, "Will they cross the river from other parties to the north?"
There are about a hundred miles between Hengshui City and Wuyi City. There are many villages and towns on the south bank of Hulu River in the middle, although there are not too big ferry.
Hulu River is only a hundred steps wide, as long as you have the right tools to cross the river, you will do it immediately.
Liu Yanzong shook his head again, "I received an urgent report from Zongfu last night. I deployed a scout on the north bank of this Hulu River. So far, I have not received any news. (Browse on mobile phones]"
Zong Wang frowned and asked coldly: "Did they disappear? No, they must be on the south bank of Hulu River, and they must go to Wujin Ferry to pick up the Song army to break through. Tell Wanyan Cai to be careful and send more scouts to inquire. Once the enemy is discovered, report it immediately." Then he pointed to the battlefield ahead, "Look, how long can this army last?"
Liu Yanzong looked angry and had a helpless look on his face. To be honest, he admired the Song army very much. Under such a harsh situation, this army not only killed one end and responded to Yao Gu's breakthrough, but also persisted until now with incredible courage and perseverance, delaying the 100,000 Jin troops and destroying the army's encirclement and annihilation strategy. It can be said that the attack purpose of this Song army has been achieved. The passive thing now is not the Song army that is in danger on the battlefield, but the Jin army that has the advantage. This is something that I could not imagine before the war.
"Deputy Commander, this army has lost nearly half, and the battle formation has contracted tighter, so the attack surface will be smaller. Even if we transfer more troops, we can only invest thousands of people to fight at a time. So what I mean is to leave behind 20,000 to 30,000 people to continue siege, and all other troops will be transferred to siege Yao Gu, so as not to lose sight of one thing or the other.

Zong Wang thought for a moment and said, "We despised Yao Gu. This man was very powerful in war. When we surrounded him, we thought he would break through forcibly, and then we attacked him halfway. Unexpectedly, he flew and led the army to defend Jing'an City. He dragged us to Shenzhou, which delayed more than ten days. If we had not delayed these ten days, we should have occupied Daming Mansion. With these ten days as a buffer, the Song army would inevitably mobilize more troops from the south bank of the Yellow River to support north, which seriously affected our strategy to capture Hebei. Now the Song reinforcements rushed to the south bank of the Hulu River one after another, and Yao Gu took the opportunity to break through. The timing was very good. He was very cautious. During the breakout, the men and horses were tightly clamped together. In this case, if we wanted to wipe out all, we would have to pay a lot of price."
Liu Yanzong understood Zong Wang's thoughts. Zong Wang wanted to wipe out Yao Gu completely, but he was afraid that he would lose a lot. After his own losses were too great, the reinforcements on the other side suddenly came over, and the Jin army could not resist it. In the end, Yao Gu might run away. After Yao Gu ran away, he lost his face, so he hesitated and wanted to find a foolproof solution.
"Deputy Commander, our goal is Daming Mansion, Hebei, Bian Jing, not Yao Gu." Liu Yanzong said in a pun, "As long as the gains and losses on the battlefield does not affect our ultimate goal, we have to give up what should be given up. The result of worrying about losses will inevitably be to lose one and even gain nothing."
Zong Wang nodded slightly, showing gratitude on his face, "Yes, you have to give up what you should give up. He ordered Guo Yaoshi and Bei Da to lead the army to surround Yao Gu immediately. I will leave this here to you."
Liu Yanzong bowed his head and took the opportunity to make a statement, "Deputy Commander, if you fail to achieve decisive results before dusk, you might as well give up a way, let it break through, and then take advantage of the darkness to attack it in half, hitting Yao Gu severely.
”
Zong Wang smiled and agreed. He was convinced by Liu Yanzong that as long as the Song army was severely damaged and the Song army was annihilated in large quantities, Hebei would be the world of the Jin army, and this land would be the territory of the Jurchens from then on.

Wang suddenly felt the air around him relaxed and no longer squeezed as suffocating as before.
Did Yao Gu come? The Jin army was forced to intercept him? He looked up and saw that the Jin army was still attacking wildly, and his subordinates were still fighting fiercely. The battlefield was full of corpses, half of which were soldiers from the northwest, with two generals, three deputy generals, fourteen chief and deputy commanders, and nearly ten thousand soldiers. This battle was too tragic. It was the first time he had encountered such a fierce fierce battle after fighting for thirty years. The people in the northwest were the people in the northwest, fearless. Faced with their enemies that were several times more than their own, they sacrificed their lives and fought bravely. They fulfilled their promises with their lives and blood. They protected the Song Dynasty and this land.
Wang raised his head and looked northwest. His pupils suddenly opened wide, and he jumped excitedly. He ignored the bursting of wounds and blood. He pulled his hoarse voice and shouted wildly, "They are here, they are here, they are here, they are breaking through..."
The soldiers around all looked up. In the blue sky in the northwest direction, three wolf smokes were entangled together, like a dragon hovering around a pillar. It was the wolf smoke from the northwest people, telling their brothers that he had arrived, he was fighting fiercely, and he was moving forward.
