On the 27th day and night, Datong Hulien Mansion.
Dong Xiaochou was anxious about Hu Lie's Mansion, and the Jin army was retreating. He would lead his army to pursue him and meet Li Hu in Baishuilu.
This is equivalent to telling Hu Lie Mansion that he refused to accept the suggestion of besieging Zong Wang.
Li Gang was anxious. In front of Luo Sinan, Huo Liuge and Hu Tu, he was afraid of the case. "If the Jin army ran away, Fengshengzhou would definitely fall. The entire northern war situation was controlled by the Jurchens. Killing the tiger's mouth would be in vain." Li Gang blushed and shouted excitedly at Luo Sinan, "Madam, please give an order to Dong Shuai, asking him to mobilize troops immediately, take the trip to Cailiang Mountain, and surround the Jin army, which is too late."
This is the first time that Luo Sinan has seen Li Gang so excited. In her impression, Li Gang is gentle, enthusiastic and friendly, and has such a tyrannical side. How could she have such a violent side? While she was surprised, she could also deeply feel Li Gang's urgent mood. She couldn't help but hesitate. Who should I listen to?
Brother Huo Liu and Hu Tu also looked at Li Gang in surprise. They couldn't tell that this person was still crazy. They dared to slap the table in front of their wife and accuse Dong Xiaochou. They were too brave.\
Lao Huo coughed twice and signaled Li Gang to sit down first, so that he would not be anxious. "Dong Shuai said in the letter that this battle to kill the tiger's mouth is winning by strategy, not strength. How many reinforcements do we have? The Liao and Xia coalition forces have 50,000, and at least several thousand were lost after this battle. The Song Dynasty reinforcements were more than 50,000, but half were rural soldiers. Is there any? No more."
Lao Huo pushed the map on the table to Li Gang, "Look, the general commander led his army to kill Baishuilu, which was actually a bluff. At most, he had only 100,000 people, Liaoxia coalition, Song reinforcements, Bohai army and Thunder Army.\These troops fought one after another, marched continuously, exhausted. And they were mixed coalition forces, which were vulnerable. If the Jin army fought with the general commander in order to save Baishuilu's livestock, money and population, and fought to the decisive battle with the general commander, it would not be the Jin army, but our general commander. Therefore, in order to ensure that we can take all Baishuilu, it would be completely correct to gather all the troops on the front line of Zhenchuan Fort to go north to meet the general commander."
"You can't understand what I said?" Li Gang was so angry that his eyes turned red, and he shouted at Lao Huo, "I tell you again and again why the Jin army repeatedly attacked Yehuling, just to occupy Fengshengzhou.\occupied Juyongguan. Once the Jin army occupied this place, the Jurchens would control the entire northern war situation."
"Look..." Li Gang pushed the map hard under Lao Huo's nose. "You see clearly that once the Jin army occupied Fengshengzhou, they can attack Yanjing to the east, and Xijing to the west. At the same time, they cut off the connection between Yanyun. How will the situation in Yanjing develop at this time? If you were Xiao Gan, what would you do? Will you hesitate? Once Xiao Gan opened the gates of Gubeikou and Songting Pass and let the Jin army leak out, what would be the result? If Youyan was lost, can Xijing still be saved?"
"Xiao Gan may not dare to do this?" Lao Huo actually agreed with Li Gang's statement, but when he shouted like this, he couldn't hold on to his face, so he found a reason for himself, "Yanjing has Li Chuwen, and Yelu Dashi..."
"If the Jin army was defeated, it was difficult to gain a foothold in Daibei. It had already seriously threatened the Jurchens to unify the entire north. If the Jin army captured Fengshengzhou at this time, Wanyan Aguda would not have the power to attack Youyan? He is waiting to die in the northeast?" Li Gang couldn't help but curse and spit on the stars.\
Old Huo wiped his face and stared at Li Gang with his eyes, and was full of ghost fire. Zhiniang, why are you crazy? If it weren't for the Song Dynasty, would you be so angry?
"Zuo Sima, please calm down, calm down." Hu Tu was worried about Old Huo Biao, and started arguing with Li Gang, so he hurriedly stood up and pulled Li Gang away. "The problem now is, if the Jin army saw that the army on the front line of Zhenchuan Fort did not go north to pursue and wanted to fight the general commander, what should we do? With the general commander's troops, they are definitely not the opponent of the Jin army."
Li Gang was so angry that his eyes rolled around and almost vomited blood. "Hu Zhizhi, you can't understand what I said? In this situation, does the Jin army need to fight the general in a decisive battle with the general? The failure of the Killing Hukou war told the Jurchens a fact that the strategy of attacking Xijing was wrong and the strategy must be adjusted immediately. Judging from the Jin army's several attacks on Yehuling, there must be someone in the middle of the Jin army commander who strongly demanded to fight Fengshengzhou first and take the initiative to control the northern war situation first. Therefore, I can say with certainty that the Jin army will quickly withdraw Yuanyanglu and send troops to attack Fengshengzhou at the same time. This time is very short, only four or five days at most. If we cannot surround this lonely Jin army before the main force of the Jin army enters Fengshengzhou, we will be finished. Do you know?"
Luo Sinan understood and decided to adopt Li Gang's suggestion, but she knew that she could not convince Dong Xiaochou.\
Lao Huo and Hu Tu also understood it, but they did not agree. Li Gang was from the Song Dynasty and was a minister sent by the Emperor of the Song Dynasty to Hu Lie Mansion. He was worried that the Song Dynasty would not be able to recover Youyan, so he was so anxious. Li Hudi's future strategy was to gain a foothold in Daibei first. Although the issue of Youyan's ownership directly concerns the future of Hu Lie Mansion, Hu Lie Mansion has limited strength and is not enough to care about it at present.
"Zuo Sima, do you have other ways to save Fengshengzhou?" Luo Sinan asked.
When Li Gang heard this, his eyes lit up. He immediately pushed the map to Luo Sinan, "Along the north bank of the Sanggan River, there is a road leading directly to Guihua Prefecture.\Madam can let Jinglei Army travel day and night from this road to Guihua Prefecture for support."
"Jinglei Army?" Luo Sinan hesitated for a moment, "Hu Shuai scolded Jinglei Army in the battle report. Although it was a bit exaggerated, the combat effectiveness of the Jinglei Army was indeed not good. There were too many people to solve the problem."
"Defending the city is not like a decisive battle in front. The Lei Army can be used completely, and it can definitely block the Jin army in Guihua Prefecture." Li Gang patted his chest hard, "I personally took the Lei Army to Guihua Prefecture, and I can promise my wife that I will definitely defend Fengsheng Prefecture."
General Luo Sinan was skeptical and looked at Lao Huo and Hu Tu involuntarily. The two of them wanted Li Gang to disappear from their eyes and nodded quickly to agree. Lao Huo also added, "When the Dangxiang people attacked Bito's Village, Dao Shuai was a little unbearable. Zuo Sima was there, so he gave him a few moves, but Dao Shuai guarded Bito's Village as solid as a soup. Zuo Sima is absolutely competent."
"Okay." Luo Sinan no longer hesitated and immediately wrote an order, "Wang Yao has already brought Jinglei Army to Datong. You can take this order to Baidengshan Camp and hurry to Guihua Prefecture with him."
Li Gang was overjoyed and agreed repeatedly. The wife was not only beautiful, but also brave and wise. Unlike these two stupid birds, she was full of bad water. She did not dare to fight and left the camp.
The various horse troops were exhausted, but they dared not sleep because the Jin army could arrive at any time.
From the fierce battle during the day on the 25th, the Tieweiying, Bohai Army, and Liaoxia horse army basically spent the land on horseback.\On the 26th, the 27th, two days and one night, the horse army galloped for more than 300 miles, and fought a battle in Chanhebei and Dezhou, killing the Jin army in a lot of grief.
Although the Jin army had no food and weapons to supplement, they fought with their amazing perseverance and the bravery of their soldiers and successfully escaped back to Baishuilu. Li Hu surrounded them twice on the way, but the Jin army successfully broke through twice, and warriors stayed to block the coalition forces both times, winning time for the main force to retreat.
Wanyan Yu finally brought more than 10,000 Meng'an Mouke and Zong Gan to join and retreated smoothly to Yuanyanglu. This retreat route is relatively long. If you retreat directly to Zhenchuan Fort, Wanyan Yu's losses may be smaller. But he knew that if this attack on Xijing failed, the Jin army would definitely withdraw from the Xijing battlefield, and Li Hu would not be stupid enough to follow them. Li Hu would definitely rush to Baishuilu as quickly as possible and grab the livestock and money first.\
Although the Jin army was defeated, the main army was still there and could make a comeback. The most urgent thing to be needed for a comeback was livestock, which was food. Li Hu snatched the livestock, which was equivalent to blocking the lifeline of the Jin army. So Wanyan Yu chose to retreat to Baishuilu. His original intention was to try his best to intercept it, and at the same time report to the Jin army in Zhenchuan Fort and Baishuilu to save the livestock. Unfortunately, Li Hu chased him too hard, so he didn't even have time to breathe.
However, Wanyan Yu still won half a day for Zhenchuanbao and Baishuilu at the cost of nearly 10,000 people.
After receiving the news, Wanyan Zonggan transferred the livestock as soon as possible, and how much it transfered was calculated. Wanyan Gao and Wanyan Zonghan retreated immediately without any hesitation. The main horse army rushed to Baishuilu as quickly as possible, and they also wanted to transfer the livestock in front of Li Hu.
Li Hu arrived first, only half an hour earlier than the Jin army. He ordered the soldiers to light nearly a thousand bonfires by the lake, and then asked the various horse troops to speed back and forth, creating a posture that the army was ready to fight.
The Jin army did not dare to attack. They did not know how many members of the coalition forces were, and their main force was retreating. The Han army on the front line of Zhenchuan Fort was approaching. At this moment, the Jin army was in a dilemma of being attacked from both sides. They were grateful if the coalition forces did not take the initiative to attack.
Li Hu was guilty, Yelu Ma Ge, Li Liangfu and others were even more guilty. Now the coalition forces are vulnerable. If the Jin army came over with great momentum, it would be all over.
Dong Xiaochou and Mao's army were also very nervous. In order to force the Jin army to evacuate as soon as possible, they followed closely behind, less than twenty miles away from the Jin army, and they were very close and very dangerous.
Just when both sides were extremely afraid, the wind in the dark night suddenly became strong and with a damp smell. Then, a lightning flashed suddenly in the night sky, followed by a thunderous thunder.
It was going to rain, and the first rain in the grassland rainy season came unexpectedly. When both sides needed it the most, it appeared in time.
