On the 24th, when the sun was rising slowly... the sound of war drums and horns on both sides of the Thoushui River also soared into the sky. The Jin army on the south bank and the Tiger and Lieutenant Army on the north bank entered the battlefield almost at the same time.
Yue Fei led a team of entourages to gallop on the river bank and patrol in front of the formation.
On the plain fifty steps away from the river embankment, the infantry and military formations were densely packed, the two wings of the horse army spread out, colorful battle flags dancing wildly in the wind, and the huge dragon coil formation was like a dragon about to rise into the sky, with a powerful aura.
"Kill the thief to defend the country..."
Deafening roars came one after another, like thunder.
On the other side, teams of Jin troops quickly approached the river bank. From a distance, they looked like floods breaking the dam, covering the sky and stunningly loudly.
The Jin army was the first to cover the arrow formation. For a moment, the arrows in the air were like locusts, and the harsh roar was thrilling.
The soldiers in front of the Tiger and Lieutenant Army resisted with shield formation, and did not move at all.
The Jin army assault team began to cross the river. In a short time, the surface of the Tsui River was filled with sheepskin rafts. The Jin army soldiers on the raft covered them with shields, and guarded them tightly with people and rafts. Soon, the Jin army arrived on the other side. As soon as the assault soldiers stepped onto the river bank, they saw a black look in front of them. The Tiger Lieutenant Army's arrow formation was launched, and the dense arrows roared down like a storm.
The soldiers of the Jin army were extremely powerful. With the help of the arrow formation in the rear, they rushed up the river bank in batches and entered the battle formation of the Tiger and Lieutenant Army.
The two armies fought fiercely.

Zong Fu was at the high slope of Ma Ma, staring at the battlefield ahead with all his concentration.
The scout arrived on a horse and reported loudly that the Tiger Army on the southern front was approaching the Jin army camp, and it was estimated that the two sides would start fighting at noon.
Zong Fu turned around and looked at Hanlugu and Guo Yaoshi behind him, and raised the whip in his hand, "I will leave the war on the southern front to you."
Hanlugu and Guo Pharmacist bowed to accept the order.
"The main force is on the northern line. Whether the army can break through Luancheng depends on the attack in the past two days." Zong Fu looked worried, "Two days later, General Li Hu brought more than 100,000 tiger brigades from behind us. We were attacked from both sides and then lost the opportunity to break through and could only stand firm and wait for assistance."
Speaking of this, Zong Fu couldn't help but think of Wanyan Talan, and a little chill suddenly burst into his heart. He secretly prayed that God would not repeat the same mistakes.
"Your task is to defend the camp and give the main force time to break through the Tsushui River."
"Please rest assured, deputy commander, we will definitely guard the camp." Hanlugu said confidently.
Yaoshi Guo had no expression on his face and stared at the battlefield ahead, feeling worried.
Zong Fu looked at Guo Yaoshi, and thought of the grudge between him and Li Hu, and felt more and more uneasy. Wanyan Talan was defeated because of Liu Yu's betrayal. Today, our Hebei army was surrounded. Will Guo Yaoshi turn against him at a critical moment? The more Zong Fu thought about it, the more he became afraid. He was worried that his thoughts would be peeped by Guo Yaoshi, so he waved his hand and signaled Han Lugu and Guo Yaoshi to rush to the southern battlefield immediately.
The two of them left. Zong Fu's eyes were staring at Guo Yaoshi's back, and a trace of murderous aura gradually appeared in his eyes.
"The deputy coach is worried that he will betray him again?" Yang Pu's voice suddenly came into Zong Fu's ears.
Zong Fu withdrew his gaze, pursed his lips, and did not speak for a long time.
"We must keep an eye on him. Once we find something wrong, we will arrest him immediately." Yang Pu sneered, "There are still 20,000 or 30,000 soldiers in the Changsheng Army, and they are all elite. Once the fight is unimaginable, we must be prepared early."
Zong Fu was very confused, and he shook his head and whispered: "Be careful, don't backfire and destroy yourself."

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Murong Xiahan and Hulie's four armies approached the Jin army camp.
Wang Yan, Zhe Kezhi, Zhe Ketong, and the four commanders Wang De commanded their respective troops and immediately launched an attack.
Hanlugu and Guo Yaoshi seized the village and defended them.
During the fierce battle, Zhang Linghui ran to Guo Yaoshi and asked for reinforcements in fear.
"There are no reinforcements." Guo Yaoshi stared at him, "No reinforcements are not between us and the entire army."
"Without reinforcements, we may not be able to defend it." Zhang Linghui brushed the sweat on his face, and leaned over to Guo Yaoshi and said in a low voice, "Li Hu is right behind. If nothing unexpected happens, the army will attack us tomorrow will exceed 100,000. Even if we finish the Changsheng Army, we will not be able to defend it."
Guo Yaoshi lowered his head in frustration, his eyes closed tightly, and his mind was blank. Who would have thought that the situation in the world changed so quickly, Li Hu dominated Middle Earth in just four years after entering the Central Plains, and his strength was unprecedentedly high. Now even the Jurchens were beaten by him to retreat step by step.
"We will die here." Zhang Linghui pulled off the battle helmet, with a hint of despair in his voice. "Wanyan Gao and Zong Fu are not Li Hu's opponents at all. The war has been out for more than a month. They have not come up with effective countermeasures and watched themselves fall into the trap. Everyone is finished, and the Hebei army cannot escape the bad luck of the entire army being wiped out, and even Youyan cannot save it. The Jurchens are no longer able to do it. The Great Jin Kingdom is over."
"What are you talking about?" Guo Yaoshi suddenly opened his eyes and raised his hand to Zhang Linghui's head. "Do you still want to live? The Jurchens are staring at us day and night, fearing that we will betray and turn against each other. If you hear these words by the Jurchens, even my head will not be able to be saved."
"Since that's the case, we still work hard for the Jurchens?" Zhang Linghui suddenly put his head in Guo Yaoshi's ear and said in an inauspicious voice, "The more you fight this battle, there is less hope. In the end, you can only be buried with the Jurchens. Let's join Li Hu."
Guo Yaoshi's face suddenly changed and his breathing suddenly became rapid. It was not that he had this idea, but he had betrayed Li Hu, betrayed the Song Dynasty, and helped the Jurchens to poison the Middle Earth. He was very guilty. Even if Li Hu kept his life, the Song people would not forgive him, and sooner or later they would not escape death.
When Zhang Linghui saw Guo Yaoshi silent, he thought he was moved, so he continued to persuade: "Wanyan Talan was defeated by Liu Yu, Zongfu was defeated by our ever-victorious army. The Jin army not only lost Shandong and Hebei, but also suffered heavy losses. In the future, not only could he not be able to defend Youyan, but even Liaodong could not be able to defend. Li Hu soon became the hero of the world. If we do not redeem our merits and sins to him, we will never have a chance in the future. Do you know?"
Pharmacist Guo felt his heart beating violently and almost suffocated. Zhang Linghui made sense. Pharmacist Guo also knew that he should defect to Li Hu now, but he kept betraying and constantly defecting to his new master. He was already notorious. With Li Hu's personality, how could he trust him?
Zhang Linghui knew why Guo Yaoshi was hesitant. He looked around and continued, "The reason why we can survive is to make things more flexible. As the saying goes, those who know the times are heroes, and with our strength, they can only walk this path. So I think Li Hu should be able to understand us, accept us, and give us a chance to turn aside our sins and make meritorious service."
Guo Yaoshi closed his eyes again and sighed. Things could no longer be restored. Even if he disagreed, Zhang Linghui, Liu Shunren and others would take the initiative to contact Li Hu and turn against the enemy with the Changsheng Army. The Changsheng Army is a whole. Every time he betrays and every time he defects to his new master, it seems to be for his own personal interests, but in fact it is also for the interests of the Changsheng Army and to make the brothers of the Changsheng Army survive. From the overall interests of the Changsheng Army, Zhang Linghui and Liu Shunren will sacrifice their personal interests without hesitation when necessary.
"I'll send someone tonight." Zhang Linghui patted Guo Yaoshi on the back, and turned around and left without waiting for his reply.

On the 24th, Wanyan Gao did not wait for Youyan's reinforcements in Xiongzhou, but received a 100,000 urgent letter from Wanyan Xiyin, and Juyong Nanguan was lost.
This news was like a bolt from the blue, which immediately shocked Wanyan Gao to the point of being dizzy, and his previous confidence was even more exhausted and gone.
Since the Hedong Tiger Lieutenant Army entered Zhending, the Dai Beihu Lieutenant Army also strengthened its attack and used firearms. At the critical moment, the Tiger Lieutenant Army's firearms played an amazing role. They used the tunnel to reach the base of the city wall, and then detonated hundreds of thunders. As a result, a miracle happened. The city wall was blown down, and the Tiger Lieutenant Army swarmed up, captured the pass, and opened a channel to directly kill Yanjing.
Yanjing was in an emergency, and Wanyan Xiyin quickly dispatched troops from Pingzhou Road and asked Zhongjing for help. At the same time, he urgently reported Wanyan Gao. The situation in Youyan was extremely critical and he could no longer draw reinforcements to go south.
Youyan couldn't take care of himself, and Wanyan Gao could not transfer the army. It would be difficult for the troops of Wanyan Jiemu, Han Qinghe and Liu Yanzong to help Zong Fu break through, and the battle situation in Hebei was in trouble.
Wanyan Gao had no choice but to go to Zhongshan to supervise the battle, and urgently reported to Liu Yanzong and rushed to Zhongshan to meet.

On the 25th, Zhang Gao'er, Gao Baolong, Li Jin and Dugu Feng gathered about 70,000 troops to prepare to attack and kill Liu Yanzong. At this time, the scout urgently reported that Liu Yanzong led his army across the Hutuo River and headed towards Zhongshan.
After Zhang Gao'er, Gao Baolong and others confirmed that Liu Yanzong was eager to go to Zhongshan, they immediately commanded the army to cross the Yishui River overnight and rushed to the Luancheng battlefield.
That night, Li Hu arrived at the Luancheng battlefield.
Murong Xiahan reported to Li Hu about the battle situation in the past two days. Yesterday, the Jin army was blocked from breaking through the siege, and today the Jin army continued to force cross the Tengshui River, but was repelled by Yue Fei. During the two days of fierce battle, the northern Tiger Lie Army suffered heavy losses, while the southern Tiger Lie Army only carried out restraining attacks without the main force arrived, and the losses were limited.
"Our losses are mainly concentrated in Wang Yan's Eighth Army." Murong Xiahan said with a wry smile, "Most of Wang Yan's subordinates came from the Hebei rebel army back then. They had a deep blood hatred with the Jin army and the attack was extremely fierce, so nearly a thousand people were lost in two days."
Li Hu nodded to express his understanding. Wang Yan himself was a subordinate of Zhong Shidao, and most of his soldiers came from the Hebei rebel army back then. Of course, he would fight desperately when he saw the Jin people.
"How is the Jin army? Is Zong Fu determined to break through or is he determined to stand here and wait for aid?"
"This is no longer important." Murong Xiahan smiled, "Master General, if Guo Yaoshi is willing to take the Changsheng Army to rebel, would you accept him?"
Li Hu immediately understood what Murong Xiahan meant and asked in surprise: "Has Guo Yaoshi sent someone?"
"The Grand Marshal is willing to accept him?" Murong Xiahan asked.
Li Hu heard Murong Xiahan's implicit sound, and after hesitating for a moment, he turned his head and looked at Ying Qin, "What do you think?"
"The man Guo Yaoshi..." Ying Qin shook his head with a look of disdain, "Even if you don't kill, the brothers from the resentful army would kill him."
Li Hu smiled and waved to Zhu Xia, "You can get this done immediately, the faster the better."
