As the wolf smoke rose, with the sound of thunder-like explosions, the Shandong Jin army quickly fell into madness. Everyone saw hope of breaking through, and everyone burst out with the greatest strength. They braved their dense arrows and launched a tide-like attack on the battle formation of the Tiger Lie Army.
Liu Guangshi's 30th Army of Tiger Lieutenant and Lu Junyi's 7th Army of Tiger Lieutenant were the first to be hit. Under the fierce attack of the Jin army, their casualties increased and their defense lines were torn apart by the Jin army several times.
"Zhi Niang, since you are going to fight to the death, I will take my time and go out." Liu Guangshi was so angry that he was furious that he was furious. He immediately ordered Song Jiang to pull up Hua Rong and Guan Sheng's armies, and the four armies fought at the same time, no longer took turns to fight the Jin army to the end.
He only had to hold on for one day, and it seemed that this task could be completed. The rumbling explosion from the battlefield in the north confirmed that the Tiger Lieutenant Army had begun to siege and kill the Hebei Jin army. The Tiger Lieutenant Army had sufficient time and had an absolute advantage in military strength. If everything went well, the Hebei Jin army was dead. At this moment, Yue Fei's plan was successful. If the Shandong Jin army broke through the blockade at this critical moment, then the guilt of Liu Guangshi, Song Jiang and others would be too heavy and no one could afford it. So now, whether it was Liu Guangshi or Song Jiang, they all gave up, and even if they were wiped out, they would be willing to do so.
The Huli Army was pressing on the entire line, and the soldiers were full of morale. They fought fiercely and never took a step back.

On the eastern front, Gao Baolong's Bohai Army and Wang Dazhong's Palace Front Army also launched a full-scale attack. In order to cooperate with the Northern front Huli Army to siege and kill the Hebei Jin army and at the same time block the Shandong Jin army trying to break through, their mission is to continue attacking in order to drag the six Xi troops firmly on the battlefield on the Eastern front.
The morale of Xi Jun was not high. Wulihai and a group of generals were always paying attention to the battle on the northern line and were ready to follow the army to withdraw at any time, which made them unable to concentrate on fighting against the Bohai people. The generals were absent-minded, and many people were interested in preserving their strength. Of course, their soldiers understood it, so the attack pace was slow and their desire to fight was even lower.
Xin Xingzong on the southern front followed the agreement and maintained the offensive, but the battle was not fierce. This was exactly what the Jin army commander Huo Shi was thinking. Almost all the Han troops from Shandong were from Shandong. His combat effectiveness was limited, so he did not dare to attack.
Wu Jie on the Western Front also launched an attack. The head coach of the Jin army, Yang Xunqing, dared not retreat. At present, the width of the battlefield controlled by the Jin army is very narrow. If the depth is not enough, cut off the Tiger Lie Army in half, the Jin army will be finished. However, something he unexpectedly encountered, and this army actually has a large number of firearms.
The dense artillery rockets and the amazingly powerful thunderbolt fireballs suddenly appeared on the battlefield and immediately beat the Jin army to death, especially those Han soldiers from Shandong. They had never encountered such firearms. They were so scared that they were no longer shy and turned around and ran away.
Yang Xunqing did not expect that the Tiger Lie Army would take advantage of the opportunity of the Jin army breaking north and invest in the main combat on the Western Front battlefield. In his opinion, the one who can have firearms must be the absolute main force of the Tiger Lie Army, and his troops were seriously insufficient and he was unable to resist. At this moment, Wanyan Talan was gathering 50,000 troops to break north. In addition to the eastern front of more than 20,000 Xi troops, the east and south directions were basically Shandong Han troops. These armies were not very combat-effective and could not face the powerful Tiger Lie Army head-on.
Yang Xunqing saw that many Han troops began to escape and the battle formation was loose. He was shocked and hurriedly sent his entourage to kill the fugitives and strictly enforce military discipline. However, the Tiger and Lieutenant Army took advantage of the situation to cover up the killing, and the offensive became more and more fierce, and the Jin army gradually could not resist it.
Wu Jie did not want to miss the opportunity, so he made a quick decision and asked Hu Litao to fire the thunder fireball again and stab the shaking Jin army.
Hu Litao was determined to make contributions and ordered the soldiers of the Camel Cannon Camp to fire ten thunders, completely destroying the morale of the Jin army. The soldiers of the Camel Cannon Camp were all on the front line, and they could see clearly the movements of the Jin army and knew that once these ten thunders were shot, the Jin army would definitely be broken.
"Boom..." With a shocking sound, the world was shocked, and the battlefield began to shake at this moment. "Boom boom boom..." The sky-shaking thunder exploded one after another in the Jin army's battle formation, and its momentum was extremely powerful. The huge sound caused by the continuous explosions instantly covered the entire battlefield.
The soldiers of the Jin army were both heartbroken and could no longer control their inner fear. They cried and howled one by one, and then turned around and ran away.
The Jin army collapsed immediately on the Western Front.
With the order of Wu Jie, two thousand horses roared out and followed the fleeing Jin army torture. The infantry soldiers followed closely, shouted loudly, and ran all the way. Thirty thousand grain shooting troops rushed out, and ten thousand Kaifeng local troops rushed out. The 50,000 tiger lieutenants on the western front swept away like a tide in the deafening sound of killing.
Under the protection of his entourage, Yang Xunqing fled.
Wu Jie chased after him desperately, and he followed hundreds of fierce soldiers. The long arrow shot over like rain. The Jin soldiers fell from the horse one after another. In a hurry, Yang Xunqing lost his horse and fell head-on. His sects rushed to rescue him. In just a short time, Wu Jie and Hu Lie chased him up, and the two sides fought fiercely. Yang Xunqing was already injured and was inconvenient to move during the battle. He was chopped to the ground in a blink of an eye and flew up with a bloody head.
The Western Front unexpectedly achieved a great victory. Wu Jie defeated Yang Xunqing with 10,000 main force and 40,000 auxiliary troops, beheaded more than 4,000 levels, captured more than 8,000 people, and the other fleeing soldiers were missing.

At six o'clock in the afternoon, Wu Jie and Hu Litao led their troops to approach the Jin army's baggage camp.
Huo Shi on the southern line was closest to the logistics camp. When he received news of his defeat on the Western line, he did not hesitate and of course led his army to retreat and defend the logistics camp to the death.
Xin Xingzong saw that the Jin army suddenly retreated on the southern front, and was puzzled and did not launch a pursuit in time, missing a great opportunity.
Wulihai on the eastern line received a report and retreated quickly, protecting food, grass and supplies.
Wanyan Talan, who was fighting fiercely on the northern front, heard the news and was so angry that he cursed. At this moment, Liu Guangshi, Song Jiang's army and the Jin army fought fiercely, with heavy casualties. In Wanyan Talan's opinion, as long as the attack was maintained, as long as Wanyan Zongbing could help him restrain some of the main forces of the Tiger Lie Army. As long as the opponent's blocking Tiger Lie Army did not get support, he was very likely to break through the siege and fight out. However, the Western Front suddenly fell, and the Tiger Lie Army killed his baggage, forcing him to give up the attack and retreat to defend the food and supplies. In this way, his battle today was in vain, and nearly 10,000 soldiers died in vain. The Shandong Jin army, which suffered heavy losses, was surrounded by the Tiger Lie Army, and it is unknown whether there was a chance to break through.
Wanyan Talan ordered a retreat. Now he placed all his hopes for breaking out on Wanyan Zongbi and the Hebei Jin army. Zongbi had arrived and contacted himself with wolf smoke. Next, Zongbi would ask Zongfu of Daming Prefecture for help. When Zongfu brought the main force of the Hebei Jin army to fight, the Huli Army would order the withdrawal of troops as he is now. In other words, as long as he sticks to the support, as long as he sticks to Zongfu for help, the situation will reverse.
Wanyan Talan gradually calmed down, and he was still full of confidence in breaking through. However, he never dreamed that Zong Bi and Hebei reinforcements had already suffered a catastrophe.

Wanyan Zongbi's arrogance and carelessness brought a disaster to the 20,000 Jin army.
From the time of Wei to the beginning of You, one and a half hours, the 135,000 Tiger and Lieutenant Army surrounded the 20,000 Jin army and slashed and killed wildly. The Tiger and Lieutenant Army had an absolute advantage in military strength, and the sudden attack made the Jin army unable to fight back.
The sky gradually became darker and the sound of fighting on the battlefield became less and less. The Jin army suffered heavy casualties, and those who did not die surrendered one after another. Most of the people who resisted stubbornly were the British army, including the Jurchens, the Bohai people, and the Khitans... The Tiger and Lieutenant Army refused to accept the surrender of the British army. As long as it was the British army, they would be killed, and they would still be killed even if they surrendered. This made the British soldiers desperate and had to fight to the end.
At two minutes of Xu, the encirclement and annihilation battle was basically over.
At this time, Yue Fei and Wang Yuan had returned to the camp. They received a report from Wu Jie and learned that Wu Jie had killed the Jin army general Yang Xunqing on the Western Front, annihilated more than 10,000 enemies, and approached the Jin army's baggage camp. The Western Front brought about a series of changes in the battle situation in Wanting. Now the Shandong Jin army is surrounded in a plain area less than ten miles long and wide, and the support army of the Jin army in Hebei has been completely wiped out. The Tiger Lieutenant Army has basically controlled the situation, but it is too early to say that the victory is sure to be successful.
The atmosphere in the coach's tent was warm, and Yue Fei and Wang Yuan were also smiling happily. Today, the battle was very good, and the coaches on each battlefield faithfully executed the orders of the Chief Commander Office, with great results.
"The Shandong Jin army was completely surrounded." Wang Yuan sat opposite Yue Fei, stroked his beard and smiled, "From tomorrow, their strategy is to stick to the waiting for assistance. What will the governor plan to fight next?"
"In two days, on the fifth day of the lunar month, Zong Fu will definitely lead the main force of the Hebei Jin army to the south." Yue Fei said, "When Zong Fu heard that we had wiped out his 20,000 troops, he would have to make a new estimate of the strength of our army. At this time, his rescue speed will definitely slow down, which will give us more time to encircle and annihilate Shandong Jin army."
"The Jin army is hugging each other. If we forcefully attack, the loss will be too great." Wang Yuan said, "Besides, Zong Fu will not give us too much time. If..." He looked at Yue Fei, the excitement on his face gradually faded, "If we don't have a better way to attack, there will be a fierce battle next."
"There is indeed no better way at present." Yue Fei shook his head, "The Shandong Jin army is embracing together, and forcibly attacking is not advisable. If our army loses too much, whether it is to seize Shandong or attack Jianghuai south, we will be stretched in the use of troops. So, my idea is..." Yue Fei paused for a moment and said slowly, "I siege the Shandong Jin army without attacking it, and use the main force to block the rescue of the Hebei Jin army. At the same time, I urgently report to Hedong and Yunzhong, and ask the troops from these two places to send troops to Hebei, so that the Hebei Jin army will lose sight of one thing and fall into a dilemma."
