Today's Yellow River turns north from the west of Puyang City, passes Daming Prefecture to Jizhou, and then turns again in the direction of Wuyi City to enter Cangzhou, and goes north to join Juma River (Baigou) and flows into the Bohai Sea.

The Daming Prefecture section of the Yellow River is located in the northwest of Daming City. In other words, Daming City and Puyang City are both on the east bank of the Yellow River. Therefore, once Daming City is lost, Puyang will become an important town to prevent the Jin army from entering the capital.

Now, Yang Keshi and Liu Guangshi withdrew to Puyang with the Northwest Army, Guo Yaoshi and the Jin army followed by him, while Zong Wang's main force of the Eastern Tent Army had just arrived in Liyang at this moment, confronting the Hu Lie Army across the river, and Guo Yaoshi was also separated from the Yellow River.

"This is the best opportunity to surround and kill Guo Yaoshi."

Li Hu handed Yang Keshi's letter to Dong Xiaochou, then spread out the map on the table and pointed to Puyang City on the map. "Yang Keshi retreated quickly, and the Northwest Army abandoned Daming City without hesitation, giving the Jin army a wrong message, believing that our troops were seriously insufficient and could not resist their attacks. Guo Yaoshi was very likely to be greedy for merit and fall into our trap."

Dong Xiaochou looked carefully at Yang Keshi's letter. The Northwest Army evacuated Daming City on the 14th and arrived in Puyang on the 16th. Guo Yaoshi chased Puyang on the 17th and is now attacking the Xiaowu San Ferry. Liyang is about 120 miles away from the Xiaowu San Ferry. The main force of the Jin army can reach Puyang within one day and cross the river from Puyang to the south.

"Is it still time?" Dong Xiaochou said worriedly, "On the 14th day, Guo Pharmacist won the Daming Mansion and went south to attack Puyang immediately. Zong Wang should consider the dangers facing Guo Pharmacist. He may send a horse army to support him first, or after his main force arrives in Liyang, he will immediately send an army to Puyang to respond."

Li Hu looked up at Yue Fei and asked, "Wang Gui, is there any news about Zhang Xian?"

Wang Gui and Zhang Xian were guarding Liyang. Once the Jin army was killed, they immediately retreated to the ferry and demolished the pontoon bridge. "They are evacuating to the ferry." Yue Fei replied, "At dusk, they can demolish the pontoon bridge and safely reach the Baima."

"It should be too late." Li Hu smiled, "Our army retreated at the same time in both directions, completely beyond the expectations of the Jin army. Zong Wang was inevitably omitted in the deployment of troops."

"Zong Wang can't figure out how many people we have, and the road is smooth and unobstructed. I feel a little guilty. We must be cautious." Dong Xiaochou said, "It is precisely because of his caution that he has to run to Puyang as quickly as possible and strive to quickly cross the Yellow River with the help of Guo Yaoshi."

"It depends on who is faster." Li Hu said, "If I were to get one step faster, Zong Wang would not be able to cross the Yellow River for the time being."

Li Hu ordered the transfer of the Tiger Guards, the Ninth Army of the Tiger Lie, and the Seventh Army of the Tiger Lie, and the Cavalry of the Tenth Army of the Respect Army and Yanshan Army to immediately go to Puyang to attack Guo Yaoshi. The Ninth Army of the Tiger Lie is a newly formed cavalry, mainly composed of the cavalry of the Xixia Captured Army, with strong combat power.

The white horse was only more than 120 miles away from Puyang. Li Hu personally led this army of more than 25,000 cavalry, and Feng Chi and Di Zhi killed Puyang.

Pharmacist Guo was worried that the night was long and dreaming, so he commanded the army to attack Xiao Wu's ferry overnight.

Yang Zhi

Leading his army to defend the ferry, Yang Keshi defended the city, and Liu Guangshi stationed his troops in Caocun. The three armies built a cone-shaped defensive formation within a radius of ten miles to block the Jin army.

In the dark night, Yang Keshi stood on the city tower, looking at the sky-storming fire in the direction of the ferry in the distance, and suddenly remembered the Northern Expedition. During the Northern Expedition, Guo Yaoshi led the ever-winning army to the Song Dynasty, and served under Liu Yanqing's tent and sneaked into Yanjing with Yang Keshi. That battle was defeated, because Liu Guangshi did not arrive in Yanjing for support within the scheduled time, Yang Keshi and Guo Yaoshi finally escaped with only a few hundred people. The robes that killed the enemy side by side became enemies of life and death today, which made people feel quite sad when they think about it.

"Master General, the general is here with reinforcements." An excited voice suddenly rang in Yang Keshi's ears.

Yang Keshi was a little surprised. He did not ask Li Hu for help, but Li Hu rushed over. Could something happened to the White Horse? The main force of the Jin army was coming to Puyang?

Yang Keshi had no time to think about it and hurried out of the city with his entourage. Five miles outside the city, Li Hu, Liu Guangshi, Yue Fei and others were gathering together and talking in a low voice. Seeing that Yang Keshi was coming, Li Hu greeted him from afar.

"Master General, the Jin army has arrived in Liyang?" Yang Keshi asked anxiously.

"Yes, so I'm here to you and prepare to eat Guo Yaoshi in one bite and cut off one of Zong Wang's arm." Li Hu smiled, "I asked you to quickly withdraw from Daming Mansion, just to disrupt the deployment of the Jin army and see if you can find any opportunity. Now it seems that we are lucky, so we lured Guo Yaoshi into the trap."

"The General did not withdraw the main force to Hedong?" Yang Keshi asked in surprise. Guo Yaoshi's army had nearly 100,000 troops. Except for some left behind in Daming Mansion, its main force basically arrived in Puyang, with a total of 40,000 to 50,000 troops. If he wanted to encircle and annihilate Guo Yaoshi, Yang Keshi believed that he would invest at least more than three times the opponent's strength. Since Li Hu had so many troops, it means that he did not withdraw the main force to Hedong.

"Without the main force of the Tiger Lie Army, we can't defeat Guo Yaoshi?" Li Hu laughed, "If Guo Yaoshi is the same as you think, then we will definitely win this battle tonight."

Yang Keshi's smile was a little stiff. Li Hu had no army and dared to surround Guo Yaoshi? If the Northwest Army was the main force in this battle, it would be a tragic victory even if he won, and there would be very few Northwest Army on the battlefield in Hebei.

Li Hu saw from Yang Keshi's expression that he was very uneasy, so he briefly explained the attack strategy.

At midnight, when the Jin army was exhausted and ready to truce, Yang Keshi and Liu Guangshi led their troops to launch a stint, forcing Guo Yaoshi to continue fighting, while Li Hu commanded the Hu cavalry army to launch a sneak attack from behind the Jin army.

"Even if this battle cannot completely wipe out Guo Yaoshi, it can severely damage the ever-winning army." Li Hu said confidently, "If we attack this army back to Daming Mansion, we can curb the offensive of the Jin army and block them north of the Yellow River."

The strength and tenacity of the Northwest Army made Pharmacist Guo feel a headache.

He once served under Liu Yanqing's tent. The Song army's Northern Expedition left him the impression that this army had no combat effectiveness at all. However, the Hutuo River War and the Hulu River War forced him to admit that the Northwest Army was strong, but after those two bloody battles, the Northwest Army suffered heavy losses and its morale suffered a heavy blow, which should be vulnerable. The Northwest Army abandoned Daming Prefecture and confirmed Guo Yaoshi's view. However, beyond his expectations, he arrived here in Puyang.

He met a strong opponent again. Yang Keshi, who fought side by side with him in Yanjing City in the past, actually fought back and firmly guarded the small ferry.

"Guo Shuai, should we temporarily stop the attack and let the soldiers rest in the middle of the night and attack again tomorrow morning?" Zhang Linghui walked to Guo Yaoshi and whispered.

"The deputy commander has reached Liyang today, and will send troops here tomorrow at the latest. If we do not occupy the ferry, we will inevitably delay the deputy commander's attack plan." Guo Yaoshi looked at the battlefield with loud killing sounds in the distance and shook his head, "Attack overnight, don't stop. This army suffered heavy blows, without morale, and is already at the end of its strength. As long as we attack wildly, they will not last long."

"Will Li Hu give up Li Yang?" Zhang Linghui was a little disbelief, "The Northwest Army abandoned Daming Mansion and had already tear a gap in the Yellow River defense line. He must do his best to stop us from moving south to free up his hands to support Puyang, otherwise he will retreat to Bianjing in a few days."

"I suspect Li Hu is no longer here." Guo Yaoshi turned his head and looked at Zhang Linghui and asked, "Do you think he will help the people of Song Dynasty guard Bianjing? When he knew that Zong Han led the Western Tent Army to attack Taiyuan, he

Still have the intention to stay here?”

Zhang Linghui laughed and nodded repeatedly. He also had the same idea. If he changed his position and was Li Hu, he would have brought the main force of the Hu Lie Army back to Hedong. After all, Datong and Taiyuan are the foundation of Li Hu, and Li Hu did not need to fight against the Jin army for the sake of the Song Dynasty.

"Sent to order all troops to join the reserve troops one after another and attack in turn." Guo Yaoshi waved his whip, "Don't give the people of the Song Dynasty a chance to breathe."

At midnight, when Yang Zhi and his subordinates gradually couldn't hold on, Yang Keshi led his army out of the city and took the initiative to attack the Jin army.

Then, Liu Guangshi came from Caocun to support him, entered the battlefield of Xiao Wuxi, and launched a ** to the Jin army.

The investment of more than 20,000 live forces quickly reversed the situation. The Jin army was caught off guard and the attack was attacked by the people of the Northwest.

"The people of the Song Dynasty are no longer able to do it, they can't hold on." Guo Yaoshixing

He was very excited and ordered all the troops to throw all the reserve troops into the army, and to use his military advantages to severely attack the Song people and destroy the morale of the Song people. It was obvious that the Song people threw all their troops into the battlefield, which was clearly a desperate bet and a last fight. This also shows that the battle situation on the front line of the white horse was tense. The main force of the Jin army led by Zong Wang may have conquered Liyang, and the troops were facing the Yellow River, directly threatening the Song people's Yellow River defense line.

Inspired by the superiors, the soldiers of the Jin army fought and fought with a tide.

Yang Keshi intends to deceive the Jin army and ordered the front-line troops to gradually retreat, and put on an unsupported attitude to lure the Jin people into more troops.

Yaoshi Guo believes that the overall situation is settled, so he should not wait until dawn to capture the Xiao Wu Dao Ferry, and may even take down Puyang City.

"The order Zhao Heshou led the horse army to attack the wings of the Song people, tear their battle formation and give them a fatal blow."

The cavalry of the Changsheng Army launched, about 8,000 cavalry, divided into two teams, attacking the left and right wings of the Northwest Army respectively.

Yang Ke

Shi Chang let out a sigh and finally lured Guo Yaoshi's horse army out. The next one was the nightmare of the Changsheng Army.
