Early in the morning on July 18th, Dingzhou City.

"Commander Yue, good news came from Hejian Mansion. Hejian City has been captured and the golden general Wanyan Polu Huo has been captured alive." Zhang Jiefu hurriedly walked in and handed over the battle report.

"It seems that the power of the new trebuchet given by the imperial court is beyond our imagination." Zhang Jiefu looked very excited, "No wonder Wu Jie was able to quickly defeat Zhe Keqiu with this."

"But there is another news. According to the intelligence from Hejian City, the main force of the Jin army is about to go south, and the target is Hejian Mansion."

Yue Fei took it and read it carefully.

"The second prince, Wanyan Zongwang, is personally leading the troops." Yue Fei walked to the map and looked at the Yanyun area.

There are also a large number of elite Jin troops stationed there.

"Cangzhou sent 20,000 soldiers and horses to Hejian Mansion." Yue Fei said, "Cangzhou soldiers and horses are not good at positional warfare. If Hejian City cannot be conquered in a short time, Zongwang's army goes south, and the Hejian front is in danger, but right now Hejian City is in danger.

Jiancheng has still been captured, so the eastern front can focus on defense first, and there is no need to rush into battle."

Wang Gui said: "When our Chinese army supports Hejian, we can then fight the gold thief decisively. We can attack from both inside and outside."

"No!" Yue Fei said, "We are standing still."

"Why is this?"

"The intelligence said that the Jin went south from the eastern front, but it didn't say that the Jin only went south from the eastern front," Yue Fei said.

"Shuai Yue means that the Jin people may still have an army?"

"According to the intelligence sent from the north, Wanyan Zonghan also arrived in Yanjing. I am not sure whether the Jin army will hold all the troops on the eastern front. In this case, we must consider the overall situation. Our army will stay in Zhongshan for the time being.

Observe the trend of the war situation, and it is best to remain unchanged in response to all changes."

Zhang Jiefu also nodded and said: "I also think that Yue Shuai's words are reasonable. The Jin people may divide their troops into two or even three groups to attack Hejian Mansion, Zhongshan Mansion and Zhending Mansion respectively, and the Jin people even have

It is possible that they will attack one of them with great force first, giving us the wrong impression, and then attacking in the east and in the west."

"How is the situation in Zhending Mansion?"

"Most of the state and county garrisons in Zhending Mansion have been defeated by Niu Gao, and only Zhending City is left. Judging from the situation in Hejian City, it won't be too far away for Zhending City to be captured."

"Send an order to Niu Gao to seize Zhending within five days and prepare a comprehensive defense just in case."

"Yes!" Zhang Jiefu said.

"In addition, send an order to Zhang Jun, the deputy general manager of Zhaozhou's troops and horses, and ask him to bring his troops to support Niu Gao. Everything will be at Niu Gao's disposal."

Zhang Jiefu paused and said, "I'm afraid this is a bit difficult."

"Why?"

"The lower official heard that Zhang Jun was acting loosely and disobediently in the Zhaozhou area, so he asked him to go north to support Niu Gao. He..."

Yue Fei said categorically: "I have military orders here, so I can't help him!"

"yes!"

On July 20th, the Song army in Zhending City was in full swing making a new trebuchet.

The front line of Zhending Mansion had more cavalry than Zhang Xian, and there were fierce generals like Yang Zaixing. The battle was smoother than that of Hejian Mansion on the eastern front. It almost wiped out all the strength of the Jin people in Zhending Mansion, and defeated Zhen Ding Mansion.

Dingcheng was surrounded.

Just when the Song Army was preparing to attack Zhending City with new trebuchets, our classmate Wanyan Salihe finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Because he arrived at Zhending Mansion from Taiyuan Mansion.

This is how he lamented: Finally getting rid of Wu Jie.

Abuhan said: "Du Tong, will Wu Jie catch up?"

"This is already Zhending, and Zhending is our territory. Even if Wu Jie has eight hundred courages, he would not dare to go deep into Zhending alone!" Wanyan Salihe said with confidence, "When we rest in Zhending

After a while, we will fight back to Taiyuan!"

The Jin army rested at a river, and Wanyan Sali took off his clothes and went into the water to cool down for a while.

Several Song army scouts were secretly looking at this place in the woods in the distance.

A clerical machine wanted to write something quickly. He wrote down some important information about the Jin army, then handed it to another person and said: "Go back quickly to report the news. I found that the Jin army along the way has more than 10,000 people."

"yes!"

A quarter before Shen Shi (3 p.m.), Jingxing County.

Niu Gao was discussing with Yang Zaixing about attacking the city.

This Yang Zaixing was originally a surrendered general. At first many people were dissatisfied with him and even looked down upon him.

But after experiencing the Zhending battle, everyone's perception of him changed.

Even Niu Gao paid special attention to him.

Niu Gao said: "Shuai Yue sent a letter saying that the main force of the Jin army has assembled in the north. Let us speed up the siege and prepare the defense of Zhending Mansion."

Yang Zaixing said: "The golden thief came just in time. We should have the courage to fight the golden thief head-on!"

"There is no rush, Commander Yue has his own arrangements." Niu Gao said, "I want to send you to lead the attack on Zhending City, are you willing?"

Yang Zaixing said: "The final general will definitely live up to the mission of the capital!"

While the two were talking, the messenger from outside hurried over: "Report! Dutong, Zhending City has been destroyed, the enemy general Wanyan Pucha has escaped, and our army has captured three thousand gold troops!"

Niu Gao was stunned for a moment, and Yang Zaixing was also stunned for a moment.

broken?

Niu Gao walked out excitedly and received the battle report with a look of disbelief.

It broke so quickly?

Although Zhending's defense is not as good as Dingzhou and Hejian, it is still an important border town!

"Really broken?"

"broken!"

"Report!" At this time, another voice came from outside, and another scout ran in quickly, "Capital, a Jin army was found thirty miles away, at least ten thousand people!"

Niu Gao and Yang Zaixing looked at each other.

Niu Gao took the document from the second scout's hand, read it quickly, then looked at the first messenger and asked seriously: "Is Zhending City really destroyed?"

The messenger was also a little confused. A large-scale Jin army was discovered thirty miles away?

He thought about it carefully and said: "Capital, I saw with my own eyes that our army used trebuchets to smash the city head into pieces. The Jin army fled in panic. Our army climbed up the city tower. The city gate was opened by our army, and his subordinates also entered.

In the city!”

This messenger is really confused. Could everything before be an illusion?

It shouldn’t be!

Yang Zaixing said: "Capital, is it possible that this Jin army was not originally from Zhending Mansion?"

"You said it's really possible." Niu Gao's mind still hasn't turned around. He can only say this, where did this Jin Army come from?"

Yang Zaixing said: "Capital Commander, you have great military strength and quickness. I will give you 800 cavalry for me. I will go and meet this Jin army to test the reality!"

"Okay!" Niu Gao was decisive. Although the intelligence sent was very limited, he had been victorious during this period, and Niu Gao's confidence increased greatly.

However, Niu Gao can be said to be the most mature and steady person under Yue Fei. He said to Yang Zaixing: "Be careful, only test the truth and falsehood. Once you find something is wrong, withdraw immediately."

"Don't worry, Commander!" Yang Zaixing took the token and strode out. He first went to his camp to put on his armor and ordered his adjutant to summon the cavalry.

Not long after, eight hundred cavalry gathered outside the city and then quickly advanced in the direction the scout said.

The afternoon sun was like roasting people on a stove. After Wanyan Salihe got up from the river, he asked: "Have the people sent to Zhending come back?"

Abuhan said: "Du Tong, this place is eighty miles away from Zhending City. I'm afraid we won't be able to return until tomorrow. However, thirty miles ahead is Jingxing. We can go there to station tonight and get some supplies. I have already sent someone.

Go ahead and report, and you should be back soon."

"Jingxing?" Wanyan Sali shouted and looked at the sun in the sky, "It's not a hurry, wait for me to sleep for half an hour before setting off."

Maybe he was too tired, so he quickly fell asleep under the shade of a tree.

Wanyan Salihe had a dream, dreaming that he captured Wu Jie alive, and dreamed that Wu Jie was kneeling in front of him, trembling and crying.
