At dusk, Dong Xiaohou rushed to Zhenchuan Fort.

Mao Jun introduced the defensive formations at the Zhenchuan Fort line to Dong Joker in detail. "The Jin army continued to attack for eighteen hours. Now they finally stopped to take a breath. But in my opinion, after the frontal attack of Zhenchuan Fort was blocked, the Jin army must change the attack method. If nothing unexpected happens, they will attack our wings tomorrow so that they can break through the two wings and tear open our defensive line."

Dong Xiaochou agreed with Mao Jun's judgment. The Jurchens are not fools. They can't fight head-on. Of course, they will break through the two wings.

"The left wing of Zhenchuan Fort is Xisai, Xiaolangzhai, and the right wing is Dongtougou." Mao's army pointed at the picture. "I put the Wu Yong Army, Yunshuo Army, Shenlong Army and Hulie First Army, and the Second Army on the left wing. The Black Mountain Army, Bohai Army and Thunder Army on the right wing. But because the Feiyun Army has not yet arrived at the battlefield, we are at a disadvantage in terms of military strength. It is very difficult to stop the Jin army from breaking through the two wings."

It was not just a great difficulty. It was simply unstoppable. There were plains on both sides of Zhenchuan Fort, and there was no danger to defend. Although the General's Mansion called hundreds of thousands of people in this month, digging many trenches and laying a large number of red-repelled forts. However, if you want to use these defensive facilities to block the attack of the Jin army, it is actually impossible.

"The general's intention was to use the war of attrition to force the Jin army to divide the troops to kill the tiger's mouth, thereby reducing the heavy pressure on the front of Zhenchuan Fort." Mao's army sighed. "The question is, will the Jin army divide the troops? Generally speaking, division of troops is a taboo in military strategists. The Jurchens have repeatedly defeated the Khitans on the battlefield in recent years. The most critical point is to concentrate superior forces to fight the enemy's decisive battle."

The Mao army obviously believed that the Jin army would not divide the troops.

"We didn't divide the troops either." Dong Xiaochou smiled. "The battlefield of the Killing Hukou is dominated by the Song, Liao and Xia coalition forces. Yelu Dashi is used as the support. In this battle, we are almost the same as the Jin army in terms of total force. So if we want to defeat the Jin army, we must let the Jurchens make mistakes."

Mao Jun hesitated and said nothing. Will the Jurchens make mistakes?

"The Jurchens have been in the battlefield of Daibei for nearly three months. They have not achieved any major results so far. As the situation in Youyan changes, they are eager to conquer Xijing. This is inevitable." Dong Xiaochou said calmly. "Take Xijing and replace the North. The Jurchens are the heroes of the north. I thought of this critical moment. How many Jurchens can still maintain a normal mind? If you have a **, you will be greedy. Greed will lead to a hurry to make quick success and instant benefits. A hurry to make quick success and instant benefits will inevitably lead to wrong decisions. So it is difficult for the Jurchens to win this battle."

"The attack lasts for eighteen hours. This is enough to show the Jurchens' mentality. They are too anxious." Xie Zhibin said from the side. "Havenness is not enough. The more anxious the Jurchens are, the more mistakes they make. If they attack our wings tomorrow, there will be no progress. They will make mistakes."

"Don't place victory on the enemy's mistakes." Mao Jun smiled. "Neither side could afford to lose in this battle. So the Jurchens may not make mistakes. Considering that the Jin army may change its attack strategy tomorrow, let's increase our troops to both wings."

"How many people are there in Wu Xiong's Tiger and Lie Third Army?" Dong Xiaohou asked.

"Less than five thousand."

"That's enough. Let the Third Army and the Fourth Army guard Zhenchuan Fort. Put the Fifth Army of the Hulie on the left wing and the Sixth Army on the right wing." Dong Xiaochou said. "Tell the old battalion commander Hong Yun. Ask him to transfer several thousand grain-shooting troops up. In critical moments, these grain-shooting troops can still help."

"I urgently report to Hu Lie Mansion and set up the department. Immediately transfer weapons to Zhenchuan Fortress, especially bows and arrows, the better." Mother, Yinshu can lead an army of 80,000 into Baidao Saka.

In order to attack Xijing, the Jin army gave up the Yunnei states. Before evacuation, they plundered in the Yunnei area and sent hundreds of thousands of horses and millions of livestock to Baishuilu. At the same time, Wanyan Yu sent people to cross the Yellow River to form an alliance with Chage. The condition for the alliance was to send the Yunnei states to the country in exchange for the trust of the country. This condition seemed very generous. But at this moment, the emperor of the Great Liao Kingdom was in Jiashan. The Jurchens left and the Khitans returned.

Here comes. This is a joke. What does the Jurchens mean? Provoking a war with the Liao Kingdom? Is this possible? The Liao and Xia battles. Wouldn't it be a waste of time? Cha Ge sneered and ignored it. But he did not do anything. He replied to Wanyan Yu. If you captured Xijing, destroyed the Khitan, and annexed the desert, we will form an alliance again. Now our targets are Daibei. There is a direct conflict of interest between us. There is no condition for alliance for the time being.

Brother Cha said this very bluntly. Nowadays, Daibei is a four-fighting company. Your Jin Kingdom is coming in a fierce manner. Who will trust you? You want to replace North as the overlord of the North. I want to do it too.

This letter conveyed a message to the Jurchens, which made Wanyan Yu smell a bloody smell. It was obvious that the four Daibei families competed for the Lu. The Jin Kingdom was the strongest. If the three families joined forces to defeat the Jin Kingdom, the three families could at least divide the Daibei equally. On the contrary, if the Jin Kingdom allowed to destroy the Han people, the Khitans and the Dangxiang people would be the next prey of the Jurchens. In the end, Daibei became the Jurchens. The two weighed each other. Of course, it was the best way for three weak people to join forces to deal with a strong man. Wanyan Yu had a premonition that the battle in Xijing was not as smooth as expected. So he urgently wrote to Wanyan Gao. In order to prevent Li Hu and Liaoxia from forming an alliance to fight against the Jin army, it would be better to take Xijing as soon as possible. Ye Changmeng failed in a desperate situation.

Wanyan Yu led his army to rush the tiger's mouth from the clouds. He was very careful along the way. The army stationed on the west bank of the Yellow River made people feel like a needle on his back. He couldn't sleep or eat. The Dangxiang people were so powerful that they were so powerful. Several large armies were lying on the edge of the Yellow River like a big tiger, staring at Dai Bei coldly, which made a group of wild wolves fighting for food worried, fearing that the big tiger would suddenly pounce on him.

How many roads are there to kill the tiger's mouth? The farthest is no more than 300 miles. What does this mean? It means that when the Jin army and the Han army are fighting fiercely in the killing tiger's mouth, the Xia army can roar and swallow all the Jin army and Han army that were both injured. Then, kill the tiger's mouth and kill Xijing.

But this is just a guess of the situation. Because Li Hu joined the Song Dynasty. Song Xia had an alliance. The Xia army attacked Datong, which was equivalent to tearing down the Song and Xia alliance and starting a war against the Song Dynasty. Then the Northwest Army of the Song Dynasty could attack from Shaanxi. The two fronts were difficult to support. The consequences were unimaginable. Therefore, after careful discussion with a group of Khitan surrendered ministers, Wanyan Yu believed that the possibility of the army attacking Datong was slim. With the national strength, the heart of coveting the North and the current situation was analyzed. The most in line with the interests of the Dangxiang people was to sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight and wait and see the changes.

Wanyan Yu arrived at Baidaoban with a nervous mood. The Jin army scout reported that the Xia army on the west bank of the Yellow River did not move. The Khitans returned to Yunnei. As for the killing of Hukou, the Han army was ready to fight.

According to the agreement, Wanyan Yu would start attacking the tiger-killing two days after the main force of the Jin army attacked Zhenchuan Fort, thus threatening Xijing to the greatest extent. Forcing Li Hu to transfer all the troops in his hands to the front line. This is a strategy to attack the west. Regardless of whether the main force of the Jin army broke through the Zhenchuan Fort and the tiger-killing defense line, Fengshengzhou would fight. Because the Jurchens' target was not only Xijing, but also Yanjing. In the afternoon, the Jin army entered the tiger-killing defense.

Killing the tiger's mouth is like a funnel. Tangzi Mountain and Dabao Mountain are the edges of this big bucket. Cangtou River and the valleys on both sides form a bucket face. This big bucket is about five or six miles long. When you climb up and look at it from afar, you will involuntarily feel a sense of powerlessness. The pass is dangerous. How can you fight to break through the tiger's mouth?

Yinshu is the commander of the selection army. He arrived at the slayer at noon and directed the army to conduct a tentative attack.

Wanyan Yu's army was the main force of the Jin army. Part of them was Meng'an Mouke, part of them was the Bohai Army and the Han Army on the Northeast Road. And part of them was the Liao Army recently captured from Yunnei. The troops that Yin Shu could command the siege were the Liao Army. Most of them were Han people.

The defenders in Yalang Pass fought back fiercely. There were many crossbowmen on the mountains on both sides of the pass. They were condescending and shooting at the siege of Jin troops. The Jin army could not resist and retreated in a hurry.

After Wanyan Yu led the main force to arrive, he heard Yin Shuke's introduction and looked up at the enemy camps on the mountains on both sides. He frowned and could not help. Since he captured Zhongjing, the Jin army began to encounter obstacles. There are only three passages between Zhongjing and Yanjing, Gubeikou, Songting Pass and Yuguan. Although there are some hidden paths, one cannot pass the horse, and the other cannot transport supplies. It cannot be used. When we get here, we encounter dangerous passes like Kill Hukou. It feels that it is also difficult to fight Xijing.

"Exit the gate. Set up camp and rest." Wanyan Yu decided to find some generals and surrendered Khitans in the evening, and discuss it carefully. He will fight tomorrow.

At dusk on the 18th, Li Hu led the Iron Guard to the Killhukou.

When he heard that the Jin army had arrived at the tiger-killing mouth and started attacking, he was very surprised. The Jin army came so quickly? At the beginning of the attack, the Jurchens decided to divide their troops to attack?

"How many people? How many people did the Jin army come?" Li Hu asked anxiously.

"At least 100,000 people." Hu Jiayong looked solemn. A hint of panic flashed through his eyes. To be honest, he was indeed very nervous. In addition to the Jin army, there were Khitans and Dangxiang people. There were more than 100,000 people in addition. If these enemies colluded and attacked together, Yalang Pass would probably not be able to defend Yalang Pass. There were only 20,000 resentful troops and 10,000 Yisheng Army. And Yisheng Army obviously had no combat power.

One hundred thousand? Li Hu was secretly shocked and couldn't help but stop. "I'm sure there are one hundred thousand?"

"Can you basically confirm?" Zuo Chuanrong said. "Yelu Ma Ge told us that this army came directly from Yunnei. It was led by Pu Family Nu and Talai. It is said that most of them were Meng'an Mouke. They were the absolute main force of the Jin army. After Pu Family Nu arrived in Yunnei, many Fang troops in Yunnei surrendered to the Jurchens. So Yelu Ma Ge estimated that this army had at least 100,000 troops."

Li Hu's scalp was a little numb. This was much different from his guess. One hundred thousand Jin army. One part of them was Meng'an Mouke of the Jin army. This strength was too strong. Even if the Song army arrived, it was only 110,000. One hundred thousand was 110,000. Can it be surrounded by 100,000? How to fight this battle?

"When will the Song army arrive?" Hu Jiayong asked in a low voice.

"It's almost there. In these few days." Li Hu thought for a moment and said again. "I'm hurried to Datong, Zhenchuan Fort. If there are 100,000 Jin troops here in Kill Hukou, then there are only 200,000 Jin troops at most on the front line of Zhenchuan Fort. We should be sure to block the Jin army at the front line of Zhenchuan Fort."

"Our troops at Zhenchuan Fort are not enough to stop the Jin army." Geng Shouzhong hesitated for a moment and couldn't help but say. "We can guard Zhenchuan Fort for ten days, even fifteen days, but it is impossible to keep defending. Because as the casualties increase, our troops will become less and less. In the end, we can only withdraw from Datong. So we must find a way to defeat the Jin army who killed Hukou in the shortest time."

"What's your solution?" Li Hu asked.

"Ask to the Song Dynasty for more reinforcements." Geng Shouzhong said. "This is the only way."

Li Hu shook his head. This is unrealistic. Besides, it is too late to say that time is too late. "I urgently tell Yelu Ma Ge and Li Liangfu. I want to see them."

(To be continued.)

"What's your solution?" Li Hu asked.

"Ask to the Song Dynasty for more reinforcements." Geng Shouzhong said. "This is the only way."
