Zong Bi immediately decided to camp on the spot... forty miles away from Datun, and at the same time sent scouts to inquire about the news about the Jin army from Dingtao, Jiyin, Wanting and Dongming.

At this time, we can't move forward rashly. As Ha Michi said, if we fall into the trap of the Tiger Lieutenant Army, it will be troublesome. The most urgent task is to contact Wanyan Talan to find out the military situation ahead. At this time, Zong Bi was still holding a trace of luck. He did not believe that the Tiger Lieutenant Army in the Central Plains had the strength to surround the Jin army while fighting on both sides. No matter how he thought about it, there were indeed miracles in this world, but where did many miracles come from?

The Jin army in Hebei stopped early without knowing anything about the military situation on the Guangjiqu front line, which made the tiger army on the Datun and Malinggang front line breathe a sigh of relief.

The Tiger Lie Army has not completed all attack deployments on the northern line of the entire battlefield. On the one hand, they have to encircle the Jin army and block the Jin army from breaking north. On the other hand, they have to deploy troops to build defenses and prepare to fight the rescue Jin army heading south from Hebei. This takes time, but the Jin army in Hebei came too fast, beyond the expectations of the Tiger Lie Army.

Fortunately, although Zong Bi was arrogant, he was also a general of war. When he encountered an enemy, especially an old opponent like the Tiger Lie Army, he was of course cautious, which led to him losing the best opportunity to rescue Wanyan Talai.

Wang Yuan kept urging the Kaifeng local army to speed up the speed of advancement, while Gao Baolong's attacks on the eastern front, Lin Chong and Han Shizhong's attacks on the western front, Wang Ju and Xin Xingzong's attacks on the southern front, all effectively restrained the main force of the Jin army. Liu Guangshi and Song Jiang's blocking on the northern front also firmly blocked the way for the Jin army to retreat north, which made Wang Yuan finally win the time to build the defense of the northern front.

At the fifth hour of Shen dynasty in the afternoon, Kaifeng local troops arrived at Datun and Malinggang, and established defensive positions behind Zhang Xian's 10th Hu Lie Army and Niu Gao's 11th Hu Lie Army.

At dusk, Wanyan Talan saw that there was no hope of breaking through and ordered the evacuation from the battle.

Then, the order was passed to the eastern line, and the Wulihai also withdrew from the battle. Gao Baolong did not entangle, but allowed the Jin army to retreat. He had received an urgent report from Wang Yuan, knowing that the Jin army in Hebei suddenly headed south, only forty miles away from Datun. For this reason, he had to mobilize some of the horse troops overnight to the Datun battlefield for support.

The Jin army in Hebei suddenly arrived at the battlefield, disrupting the deployment of the Tiger Lieutenant Army. According to the Dutong Department's idea, the Tiger Lieutenant Army had to take advantage of its military strength and decisively divide and annihilate the enemy before the Hebei Jin army went south to support it. In this way, even if the Jin army finally broke through, it would hurt the Jin army severely and ensure that the Tiger Lieutenant Army captured Shandong. However, this idea is now impossible to realize. The sudden appearance of the Jin army in Hebei forced Wang Yuan to quickly transfer Wang Gui's two armies and Kaifeng local army to the blocking battlefield. In this way, the Tiger Lieutenant Army would not have the force to implement a strategy of attacking north and south, and to divide the encirclement and annihilation.

Wang Ju and Xin Xingzong voluntarily withdrew from the battle.

Lin Chong and Han Shizhong on the Western Front were still attacking, and Wang De and Li Qiong were also fighting side by side with them. They continued to attack with their superior forces, forcing the Jin army to retreat and squeezed the Jin army to a narrower battlefield.

At the right time of Xu, Yue Fei and his entourage arrived at Matou with a group of subordinates from the Dutong Department.

Yue Fei ordered Lin Chong and Han Shizhong to stop the attack and immediately go to the Chief Commission for the military convention. Then Yue Fei wrote a letter to Chang'an to report the current battle situation in detail. When he was halfway through, his writing unknowingly revealed his concerns about the battle situation, which made him feel heavier, so he put down his pen and walked to the map.

Sun Ge and Huang Zong were busy making marks on the map. From these marks, we can clearly see that the Tiger Lieutenant Army successfully completed the encirclement today, but judging from the situation in the northern line, the Tiger Lieutenant Army has lost the opportunity to divide the besieged Jin army. Next, the Tiger Lieutenant Army will have a fierce battle. On the one hand, it will block the Jin army in Hebei, and on the other hand, it will eat the Jin army in Shandong. The battle situation is inevitably going to the worst situation, and may eventually evolve into a situation where both sides suffer losses.

Both sides were most reluctant to accept. Both sides were injured. Both sides were injured, which not only meant that the Tiger Lieutenant Army was blocked from capturing Shandong, but also delayed the time of the Southern Expedition. Yue Fei could not afford this responsibility.

When Sun Ge saw Yue Fei's cold expression and his eyebrows were filled with sorrow, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

"Director, so far, we have completed the encirclement." Sun Ge whispered, "Now, the armies are adjusting their deployment locally."

"Tomorrow morning, the Western Front will continue to attack by Lin Chong, Han Shizhong, Luo Lan, Wu Jie and Hu Litao's grain shooting army. In this direction, we have 70,000 troops; on the southern front, Wang Yu and Xin Xingzong's 40,000 troops continue to advance north; on the eastern front, Gao Baolong will gather the Bohai Army, the Palace Front Army, Zhang Jun's Tiger Lie 15th Army and Miao Fu's 20,000 troops to attack the Jin army; on the northern front, there are Liu Guangshi, Lu Junyi and Song Jiang's two armies, a total of 40,000 troops, to continue to block the Jin army's breakthrough."

Huang Zong raised his hand and pressed twice in Wanting area on the map, "We have gathered 200,000 people here, twice the strength of the Jin army, and the Jin army is holding together to defend. I am afraid that they will not be able to deal a heavy blow to them in the short term."

"Once we are in a stalemate on the Wanting battlefield, after the reinforcements of the Jin soldiers from Hebei head south, we will have to put heavy troops on the blocking battlefield." Huang Zong clenched his fists with both hands and placed them on the map at the same time, "One must be blocked, the other cannot be eaten. If the stalemate continues, it will be a battle to consume, and both sides will be injured in the end."

Yue Fei remained silent. He was in a dilemma now. He carefully weighed the pros and cons. He had to face the difficulties and had no way out.

"How much force does Wang Liushou plan to invest in the blocking battlefield in Datun?" Yue Fei pondered for a long time and asked.

"Wang Gui's 10, 11th Army, Wang De and Li Qiong's 30,000 surrendered troops, Kaifeng's 50,000 local troops, Abaddon's Tiger Lie 2nd Army, Fang's 5,000 Tiger Guards." Sun Ge replied, "In the blocking battlefield, Wang Liushou invested 115,000 people. Among them, Kaifeng local troops were used as supplementary troops and reserve troops. Before they had no choice, they would not directly throw them into the battlefield. In other words, the truly used troops to fight on the blocking battlefield were 65,000."

"How many people have arrived in the Jin army in Hebei? Have the scouts found out clearly?" Yue Fei asked again.

"It is estimated to be between 20,000 and 30,000." Huang Zong said. "What we don't know at the moment is how many Jurgent forces there are in this army? If half of the people in this army are recruits from Hebei, their combat effectiveness will be limited. While we can block them, we can draw 30,000 to 40,000 main forces from the blocking battlefield to participate in the attack of encircling and annihilation of Wanyan Talai."

Yue Fei carried his hands on his back and forth in the tent. A bold idea slowly arose from his heart, and the idea became stronger and stronger, which made him feel a little suffocated.

Yue Fei suddenly stopped, turned to face Sun Ge and Huang Zong, frowned and asked, "Tomorrow, in which direction will Wanyan Talai break through?"

Sun Ge and Huang Zong looked at each other, their eyes showing doubts, and they didn't know what Yue Fei said.

"Of course he has to break out to the north." Huang Zong replied, "Wang Liushou used the troops of four armies to intercept them on the northern line, and then depending on the situation of the war, he will draw Kaifeng local troops for support when necessary. If the situation is too tense, he will also draw some troops from the battlefield that blocks the Jin army in Hebei for assistance."

"The key to whether the Jin army can effectively prevent the breakthrough to the north is not the blockade of the northern line, but the fierce attack of our army on the eastern line, the western line and the southern line." Sun Ge added, "As long as these three armies are unstoppable, the Jin army will be unable to break through."

Yue Fei thought for a moment and suddenly said, "This Hebei Jin army has only 20,000 to 30,000 people. If we assemble 150,000 troops to siege and kill, how long will it take to end the battle?"

Sun Ge and Huang Zong were shocked and widened their eyes at the same time.

"Master, our target is the Shandong Jin army." Sun Ge immediately dissuaded, "If we let Wanyan Talai break through and escape in order to siege and kill this Hebei Jin army, it would be more than worth the loss."

"Which direction will Wanyan Talai break through?" Yue Fei became increasingly determined, "You all think that he wants to break through north, so it is certain that Wanyan Talai will adjust its deployment tonight and put its main force to the north. In other words, we expect to restrain the main force of the Jin army through attacks from the east and south directions, thereby preventing them from breaking through. "

"The governor means that we will also transfer the main force to the northern line?" Huang Zong asked tentatively.

"Yes, transfer the main force to the northern line." Yue Fei walked to the side of the map and pointed to several conscious targets on the map and said, "Use the 50,000 Kaifeng local troops, put them on the east and west lines respectively, and then transfer the main force to the north line, and block Wanyan Talai's breakthrough while besieging and killing the Jin army in Hebei."

"The most unlikely direction of Wanyan Talan breaking through is the west side. He cannot kill to Kaifeng again, so the troops on the western front can be reduced." Yue Fei said, "My opinion is to ask Wu Jie to lead the 20th army to stay. With Hu Litao's grain shooting army, they will be given 10,000 Kaifeng local troops, which is enough for 50,000 troops. Lin Chong, Luo Lan and Han Shizhong's troops rushed to the northern front overnight, preparing to siege and kill the Jin army in Hebei."

"There is Guangji Canal on the southern line, and Wanyan Talai cannot break through here. Therefore, the troops on the southern line can be reduced. Xin Xingzong is asked to be responsible for the attack mission on the southern line. Please ask Wang Ju and Liu Xi to take the 14th Hu Lie Army to rush to Datun to fight."

"The eastern line leads to Shandong, which is one of the directions of Wanyan Talai's breakthrough. The troops here currently have 55,000 people, and they are all the main forces. But tomorrow, Wanyan Talai's breakthrough direction will definitely be north, so you can transfer Zhang Jun's 15th Army of Hulie and Miao Fu's 20,000 troops to the northern line, and give Gao Baolong 30,000 Kaifeng local troops."

"In this way, we can draw a total of 70,000 people to fight on the northern front." Yue Fei said, "Wang Yuan prepared 65,000 main forces on the northern front to block the battlefield, so we can call 135,000 people to siege and kill Hebei reinforcements, and have an absolute chance of winning."
