"Where are the soldiers and horses in the city?" Zhe Kezhi asked with a cold face.

He was referring to Zhewu's troops.

The messenger said: "The troops at the city gate are still confronting the Song army and have not yet broken through the Song army's defense!"

"Send the order! If the Song army is not defeated before Youshi, the general will come to see you!" Zhe Keqiu said angrily.

"yes!"

Zhewu is actually very painful.

The Song army was really cunning, and it should be said that Wu Jie was very cunning. He did not intend to attack Baode City from the beginning, but dug many trenches outside the gate of Baode City.

Not to mention the cavalry, it would be difficult for the infantry to charge over.

So the confrontation at the city gate really became a confrontation.

Zhe Keqiu's military orders came one after another. Zhe Wu was furious. His men and horses struggled to confront the Song army outside the city gate, but they were never able to start a decisive battle.

If Zhewu could really break through the Song army's defense line at this time, the Zhejia army in Baode City would attack the Song army's flanks one after another, and the blow to the Song army would be really heavy.

It is still unknown who will win.

However, what is on the battlefield is to seize the opportunity.

The Song Army's cavalry broke through first, and the butterfly effect had just begun.

Shen Shi has passed, and at dusk, the setting sun is like blood.

The war horses breathed out hot air, and the blood solidified under the iron hooves.

The battle between the front armies of both sides was in full swing. The Song Army's cavalry tore open the side of the Zhejia Army's front army, rushed in quickly, and cut the front army apart.

"Report! Manager He! Our army was attacked from the side by the enemy!"

He Zhongxing was shocked. He heard the sound and went away, only to see that everyone was in panic. Only the forward battalion was still fighting fiercely with the Song army.

The vanguard camp was slaughtered like a river of blood.

He Zhongxing said angrily: "Why did the left wing fall?"

No one could answer his question.

When he learned that the former army was under attack, Zhe Keqiu's heart sank, and he shouted: "Where are the soldiers and horses of Linzhou?"

No one answered his question.

It soon became dark.

Both sides called a temporary truce before dark.

The formation of the front army of the Zhejia Army was basically in chaos, and it was only the last breath away from complete collapse.

The panic and chaos caused by the attack on the left wing only began after dark.

Zhewu returned to the city and said angrily: "The Song army dug many trenches to block our army's attack!"

Zhewen said: "We will charge again tomorrow and send a death squad to break through the Song Army's defense line!"

"What happened to the main army?" Zhewu asked.

"It's not great to hear that the left wing has collapsed."

Late at night, I can't help but stay awake.

He had just finished inspecting the Chinese defense.

It is said that many military formations of the former army have collapsed, many soldiers are fleeing, and some are holding on to their original positions.

As for the battle of the forward battalion, the field combat capabilities of the Song Army's front also frightened He Zhongxing.

"Where are the Linzhou troops?" Zhe Keqiu asked impatiently.

Still no one answered his question.

At this moment, the scout's voice came from outside: "Report!"

"Come in!"

The scout rushed in and said loudly: "Report to Commander, we have detected traces of Linzhou soldiers and horses on the other side of the Yellow River."

"Where are the people?"

The scout hesitated and said, "Outside."

A commander named Wang Lin was brought in.

"Zhe...Zhe Shuai!"

His voice was trembling.

"Who are you?"

"The last general is Wang Lin, the commander under Linzhou Zhewen!"

"Where is the Zheyun man?" Zhe Keqiu's voice began to tremble.

"us……"

"Say!" Zhe Keqiu squeezed out one word from between his teeth.

"We encountered an ambush by the Song Army, and the entire army... was wiped out..."

As soon as he said these words, there was a dead silence in the camp.

It is impossible for Linzhou soldiers and horses to come.

The soldiers and horses in Baode City failed to penetrate the flanks of the Song army today, and the main army in the front was suppressed and beaten.

Everything told Zhe Keqiu that Wu Jie had firmly grasped the initiative on the battlefield.

"Commander Zhe, why not go to Baode City to recharge your batteries and take a short rest before fighting again," Wang Zheng said.

"With the current situation, once the army discovers that we have entered Baode City, it will inevitably lead to a larger-scale rout." Zhe Keqiu said seriously.

He couldn't bring everyone into the city, he would have to abandon some of them.

"Abandon the car to protect the commander." Wang Zheng said calmly, "Wu Jie is coming deeply, and there may not be enough food and grass. Daizhou will soon receive news that the main force of the Song army is coming to Fugu. Wanyan Sali will not let him go.

If we take this opportunity and prolong the war, so what if Wu Jie wins from a technical level? Strategic constraints will force him to retreat, and he will soon fall into a situation where he is flanked by two fronts."

The war situation is ever-changing. At the moment, I can only think about the situation for a moment, but this is what I have to do.

Wang Zheng continued: "The Song army will not be able to capture the city in a short time. Waiting for the Jin army's action, we still don't know who will win!"

"Send an order to reorganize overnight and withdraw from the North City Gate into Baode City!"

In the second half of the night, Wu Jie didn't sleep either.

When the fight really started, Wu Jie didn't even want girls anymore, so he just sat in the coaching camp.

Wei Xiang said: "Part of Guo Hao's cavalry has crossed the Yellow River, and they can all come back tomorrow."

Wei Xiang looked very excited and continued: "Today we dealt a heavy blow to the bandits. I heard that many of the bandits have fled. We will win a big victory tomorrow!"

"Zhe Keqiu's best choice now is to enter Baode City!" Wu Jie said, "Prolong the war and use the Jin Army as rear support."

Wei Xiang was stunned for a moment and said quickly: "Then our army is facing a two-front war?"

"Capture Baode City as quickly as possible, defeat Zhe Keqiu, and then return to Taiyuan. Wanyan Salihe also has a time limit. If the Daizhou Jin Army mobilizes on a large scale, it will definitely alarm the soldiers and horses of Zhaozhou, Song Dynasty.

Even Hebei Yue Fei soldiers and horses."

"Wouldn't that mean the war will expand in an all-round way?"

"That's right." Wu Jie, who experienced the third Song-Jin War, seemed very calm. "When the war reaches a certain level, it will rise to the political level. If the Jin Kingdom wants to expand the war, the two sides will definitely go to war again. This is not

We at Hedong Road can decide."

"So what do we do?"

"Quickly defeating Zhe Keqiu and retaking Linzhou and Fugu is what we should do!"

Wei Xiang suddenly admired Wu Jie.

Wu Jie continued: "Give me the order, the artillery battalion will assemble the trebuchet overnight, and tomorrow I will blow up Baode City for me! I don't believe that he can dig three feet into the ground and bury himself even if he has no chance!"

"yes!"

Just after dawn the next day, I saw corpses strewn across the left flank of the Zhe family army, and screams continued all night long.

Many people were seriously injured and could not receive medical treatment. They could only lie there and wait for the blood to bleed to the point of death.

The place where the forward battalions of both sides fought was also horrific.

The camp of the Zhejia Army was not moved, but the Chinese army withdrew to Baode City overnight.

There is basically no confrontation outside the city.

The former army leader, He Zhongxing, was captured in a panic. The rest of the soldiers fled overnight, and some were injured.

By this time, some of the Zhejia troops who were still holding on were defeated by the Song army one after another and were subsequently captured.

On April 25th, the day after Zhe Keqiu's positional battle was defeated, Daizhou Army Command and Daizhou Chief General Wanyan Salihe received news that Wu Jie's main army had left Taiyuan and was advancing into Fugu.
