    An error occurred while processing private documents. On the 23rd, Luancheng, Zhending Prefecture.  .  .  The Jin army tried their best to retreat.  They entered the Zhending Mansion at the scheduled time, but what made them panic was that the Tiger Army followed closely behind, and Handan City did not act as an obstacle. It was obvious that Li Hu had already set his sights on the target.  They were determined to severely damage the Jin army under Zhending City and weaken the Jurchens' strength.  The strength of the Jurchens has been greatly reduced. Where can they find the strength to continue to occupy the Middle Earth?  Li Hu's plan was to draw fire from the bottom of the cauldron and drive the Jurchens out of China at all costs. The decisive battle was inevitable.  The scouts urgently reported that a large number of fierce tiger troops were found in Luancheng and the north bank of the Jishui River, and the Jin army's way north was blocked.  Zong Fu dismounted, followed by Yang Pu and Zong Bi, and the three of them hurried to the roadside.  The subordinate took out the map and spread it on the grass. The three people gathered around the map and looked at Zhending City on the map at the same time.  Luancheng is about eighty miles away from Zhending, and Zhending is one hundred and twenty miles away from Shahe.  If the Jin army wants to return to Zhongshan safely and join Wanyan Mu on the north bank of Shahe River, they must break through Zhending City.  certainly.  There are other ways, such as forcibly crossing the Xianshui River from the northeast, then crossing the Hutuo River from the direction of Haocheng, and going north from Wuji through Mutaogou and Shahe River back to Zhongshan, but this road is more difficult to walk.  "Two hundred miles?" Zongfu murmured, and his mind couldn't help but flash back to the scene when the army marched southward with overwhelming force.  Only four years later, the Jin Army was no longer in glory, and now it was beaten back step by step by the fierce tiger army.  If it were back then, it would only take one day to advance two hundred miles, but now the size of the army is the same and its strength is no less than that of then. However, the situation is completely reversed. The two hundred miles journey actually determines the life and death of hundreds of thousands of Jin troops.  "How far are we from the Tiger Army on the Southern Front?" Zongfu raised his head and looked at the marching Sima standing opposite.  "The Eighth Army of the Tigers has crossed the Sophora River, and is only fifty miles away from us." The marching Sima looked nervous, his voice was dry, and there was a hint of panic in his eyes.  This was something that was unimaginable in the past. The soldiers of the Jin Army were very confident when they faced the Central Plains army. However, since Wanyan Talan and the Shandong Jin Army were annihilated in the Central Plains, this confidence has become weaker and weaker. Now it is even more  This huge psychological gap has had a huge impact on morale and has affected the combat effectiveness of the army.  Zongfu sighed secretly.  When he insisted on sticking to Handan, a large part of the reason was to maintain the morale of the army. Once the army retreated to the three towns in Hebei, he clearly told the Jin Army officers that the situation had changed and the Tiger Army was stronger.  The Jin army could not defeat the opponent and had to retreat.  This would be a huge blow to morale, and would most likely lead to a crushing defeat, and the fierce army would kill them into Youyan.  At that time, Daliao's army failed to recover after the Battle of Budagang, and the country perished in just a few years.  We must learn from the past and take precautions.  "Through the past few days of exploration, it can be proved that Li Hu has sent all his main forces to the north." Yang Pu was exhausted from running for days, his expression was haggard, and even his voice was hoarse. "From this, we can estimate that Li Hu did not attack Handan at all."  "It means that we are bent on encircling us in Zhending Mansion." "If the scouts' investigation is accurate, there are at least hundreds of thousands of tiger troops behind us." Zong Bi sat on the grass with his hands on the ground and his face.  His expression was quite helpless, "The real Tiger Army is in Luancheng, and the Tiger Army in Handan is only a hundred miles away from us. There is no way we can break out of the encirclement before the Tiger Army encircles them.  "There is only one way to go north, and we must fight out no matter what." Zongfu stood up and waved his riding whip slightly, "Today's battle situation is very similar to last year's Central Plains War when Wanyan Talan was surrounded by Wanting.  , if we have enough reinforcements and enough time, we can definitely help Wanyan Talan break out smoothly. The same is true now. In addition to having to fight hard ourselves, we also need the help of reinforcements from Youyan.  Deploy more troops to attack us from the north and the south, and give the Tiger Army a heavy blow, thus giving up their idea of ??conquering Youyan and unifying China." Zongfu wrote a letter to Wanyan Gao and Wanyan Chanmu respectively.  He wrote a letter and asked the scouts to find ways to send it to Zhongshan to let them know the current situation of the Jin Army in Hebei and the latest situation on the Zhending battlefield. Then Zongfu ordered to summon the commanders of all armies to discuss and deploy attack strategies in detail.  = On the night of the 23rd, Yue Fei arrived at Luan City.  At present, on the front line of Luancheng, Wang Dazhong's Dianqian Army, Abaddon's Second Tiger Army, Lu Junyi's Seven Tiger Army, Hylasu's Nine Tiger Army and Hong Yun's 20,000 grain-shooting army have been assembled. Yue Fei left behind  Almost all the main forces in Zhending were transferred to Luancheng to intercept the Jin army.  "Du Tong, I have some good news for you. We have contacted Wang Yan from Hulie's Eighth Army, Zhe Kezhi from Hulie's Fifteenth Army, and Wang De from Hulie's Thirty-fourth Army." We rushed to the Luancheng battlefield in advance.  When Sun Ge saw Yue Fei, he said excitedly, "These three armies have already crossedHuaishui is stationed on the front line of Yuanshi City, about forty miles away from the Jin Army camp.  " "Have all the Jin troops arrived at the south bank of the Lishui River?  "Yue Fei asked eagerly as he strode into the military tent. "Everyone is here.  "Sun Ge said, "According to the scouts' investigation, the Jin army has a camp ten miles away and is reinforcing the camp overnight. It seems that they are ready to fight us to the death.  " "Now do they have any other way out besides fighting to the death?  "Yue Fei sneered, "Zong Fu is arrogant and underestimates the enemy.  He was so self-righteous that he made one wrong step after another. He was already trapped in a dead end and had no way out.  " Entering the military tent, Yue Fei and a group of generals all stood in front of the map, looking at the eye-catching marks marked on the map. Luan City is located between Zhending City, the Zhending Prefecture, and Pingji, the Zhaozhou Prefecture.  With the Beishui River to the east and the Taihang Mountains to the west, there were only two passages from the north to the south. The Jin army was in a desperate situation, but the Jurchens were strong. The Youyan reinforcements in the north were attacking Zhending on the line of Shahe River. The armies on the two battlefields  The total number is nearly 200,000. Judging from the current battlefield situation, the Tiger Army can surround the Hebei Jin Army at the Luancheng line, but if they want to eat it in one bite, that is.  Absolutely impossible, to say the least, even if the Hebei Jin Army is eaten, the Hu Lie Army's losses will be extremely shocking. Then the Hu Lie Army will have no way to advance into Youyan. "At present, Li Shuai and Dugu Shuai are leading the way.  The army returned from Shenzhou.  It is estimated that we can rush to the Haocheng and Gucheng areas on the east bank of the Xianshui River tonight, and tomorrow we can cross the Xianshui River and enter the Luancheng battlefield.  Sun Ge pointed at the map and explained the troop deployment to Yue Fei and the generals. "Gui Shuai and Bao Shuai are returning from Hejian Prefecture. According to Gui Shuai's report, the Hejian Prefecture Jin Army is following behind. Their purpose is obvious. They want to join Luan.  City battlefield, participate in this decisive battle.  " "Has Ghost Commander ever found out the opponent's strength?  "Yue Fei asked. Sun Ge shook his head, "Based on our guess.  The Jin army in Hejian Prefecture should include troops withdrawn from Daming Prefecture and Jizhou in the north, plus the troops in Gaoyang and Xiongzhou. It is conservatively estimated that its strength should be around 30,000, or more.  "    "precise?  "Yue Fei asked. "The commander-in-chief captured Handan in the early morning of the 22nd and learned about the troop deployment of the Jin Army in Hebei from the prisoners.  Because the war situation in Hebei developed too fast and the Jin army was passive everywhere, it was unable to make adjustments in terms of military strength. Therefore, I think this guess is basically accurate and the error will not be too large.  " Yue Fei nodded slightly and motioned for Sun Ge to continue. "Tomorrow, the armies of Gui Shuai, Bao Shuai, Li Shuai and Dugu Shuai will arrive at the Luancheng battlefield one after another. Tuo Shuai, Wang Shuai and Zhe Shuai on the southern front will also lead the main force.  After crossing the Sophora River, our strength on the Luancheng battlefield will reach 280,000.  "When Sun Ge said this, there was a trace of pride on his face, "Our military strength is almost three times that of the besieged Jin Army. We have the strength to severely damage or completely annihilate the Jin Army.  " "It's not that simple.  "Yue Fei shook his hand," Wanyan Gao will definitely send reinforcements from Youyan, plus the Jin army currently on the Shahe battlefield and the Jin army coming from Hejian Mansion, we will fight on three battlefields at the same time, so we will  There are not enough troops and time to surround and kill the Jin army on the battlefield of Luancheng.  " "Not only do we need more troops, we also need more time.  "Lu Junyi frowned and said, "Zong Fu dares to retreat north and lead his troops into our trap, which means he is absolutely sure of breaking through.  Although we conquered Zhending as quickly as possible and won the initiative in the Hebei battlefield, if we want to turn this initiative into results, we may have to pay a considerable price.  " The generals looked at each other, the expressions on their faces gradually became solemn, and the excitement surrounding the Jin Army gradually dissipated. It is not difficult to surround the Jin Army, but killing the Jin Army is even more difficult. " Will we attack tomorrow?  Wang Dazhong asked. Yue Fei hesitated for a long time and shook his head, "We don't have enough troops. We can only take a defensive position tomorrow to prevent the Jin army from breaking through."  " "Do you wait until the commander arrives before launching an attack?  "Wang Dazhong asked again. "The commander-in-chief will arrive at the battlefield the day after tomorrow at the latest. By that time, all armies will enter the Luancheng battlefield.  Of course we're going to attack.  "Yue Fei counted on his fingers and shook his head, "After Wanyan Gao learned that we had captured Zhending, he would definitely move troops south from Youyan.  According to the distance calculation, Youyan's second support army will arrive at Zhongshan soon. We must invest more defensive forces in the Shahe battlefield.  " "The Jin army from Hejian Prefecture will reach the east bank of Xianshui River the day after tomorrow.  Sun Ge reminded in a low voice, "Du Tong, we must deploy blocking troops on the east bank of the Xianshui River."  "Du Tong, we are fighting on three battlefields at the same time, so the attacking force on the Luancheng battlefield will not be enough."  "Lu Junyi said hurriedly, "If we besiege the Jin army with more than twice the strength, the losses will be huge, which is obviously not conducive to a decisive battle.  " Yue Fei frowned and thought for a moment, then said decisively: "??I urgently tell Gui Shuai, Bao Shuai, Li Shuai and Dugu Shuai to defeat the Jin army in Hejian Prefecture on the east bank of the Xinshui River. First, deal with the enemies along the way, and then enter the Luancheng battlefield to fight.  "
