The Tiger Lie Army attacked Zhending City., The soldiers were like tigers, and the deafening sound of killing shocked the night sky, and the rumbling drums hit the city violently like thunder. Especially in the north gate, the Tiger Lie Army used the thunder to blow up the city gate, and the huge explosion was shocking.
The situation in the North Gate was critical, and Wanyan Wuta personally took charge of the command. He knew the power of the firearms, but he didn't know whether the firearms in the hands of the Tiger Lie Army could blow up the city gate. In case of precautions, he transferred all the reserve troops in the city to the North City to strengthen his defensive power.
On the night of the 17th, the sluice defenders in Zhending South City were on high alert. Amid the raging fire, the Jin army soldiers did not focus on the dark river surface, but looked at the battlefield where fierce fighting was in a distance in panic.
Suddenly, there was a dull and loud "boom", and a water column was raised from the river surface. The water column was dazzling under the reflection of the fire, and its momentum was terrifying.
The sluice defenders widened their eyes in horror, dumbfounded.
"Boom, boom, boom..." The dull sound burst out continuously. Water columns soared into the sky, and you could vaguely see the fragments of the iron grille under the water rolling and howling in the air.
The Jin army was stunned, looked at the incredible scene in front of them blankly and helplessly, without any reaction, and the huge fear almost suffocated them.
The sound stopped, the water column disappeared, and the waves surging.
A small boat suddenly rushed out of the darkness, like an arrow leaving the string, heading straight to the sluice.
Immediately afterwards, more boats rushed out, and the wind and lightning were as fast as galloping horses.
"Tiger Lieutenant Army..." A shrill shout suddenly came from the sky above the water gate, "Tiger Lieutenant Army is here, shoot, shoot quickly, block them..."
The Jin army soldiers surrounded by fear suddenly woke up, and the long arrow suddenly roared towards the river like a storm.
The attacking soldiers on the ship raised their shields almost at the same time. The dense shields were connected to each other, covering the boat so that they were blocked.
The incident was hasty, and the Jin army soldiers were frightened by the sudden underwater explosion and were unable to organize effective resistance for a while. They could only watch the boat crashing into the embankment, and watch teams of fierce tigers rushed to the sluice like roaring tigers.
The structure of the sluice gate is basically similar to that of the city tower, and it is easy to defend but difficult to attack. The soldiers of the Jin army are condescending, and it is difficult for the fierce and fierce soldiers to kill them.
The bottom floor of the sluice is a stone house. Dozens of Jin soldiers stood here. Just when they thought the Tiger and Steve Army had no choice, a few dark iron balls with a string of Mars were thrown in from the window. The Jin army was shocked. Some turned around and fled, while others hid on the wall with their heads in their arms. "Boom..." The iron ball exploded, thick smoke soared into the sky, and instantly filled the entire stone house.
The power of the poisonous fireball is very powerful. In just a few breaths, dozens of Jin soldiers were poisoned and completely lost their combat power.
"Boom" Another loud bang, a thunder thunder exploded outside the door of the stone house, and a large hole was opened by the thick wooden door. Several tall and strong tiger soldiers rushed forward, and the battle axe in their hands struck down, and the large iron cone collided repeatedly, and the wooden door collapsed with a bang.
More than a dozen men with thick wet cloth wrapped around their mouths and noses rushed into the stone house and chopped and killed them wantonly, but the poisonous gas inside was too heavy. The group of men stood there for a moment and retreated. Then Han Shizhong rushed in with a team of men.
Soon, the Tiger Lie Army captured the first floor of the water gate and began to attack the enemy on the second floor.
On the river surface, Dugufeng's assault army slowly approached the sluice in a small boat and a sheepskin raft.
Two moments later, Han Shizhong and his men rushed to the top of the sluice. The Jin army was beaten by the poisonous fireball of the Tiger Lie Army and had no power to fight back. They could only be slaughtered. Most of the sluice defenders died, and the remaining part of them broke into pieces and fled.
With the rumbling sound, the water gate slowly rose. With Dugu Feng's order, a small boat full of soldiers and a sheepskin raft rushed to kill the city.

Wanyan Wuta received a call from the sluice defenders, but he didn't care. The sluice defense was strong, and the Tiger Lieutenant Army had no chance of conquering them in the short term. However, just two moments later, news of the sluice collapse came. Wanyan Wuta was shocked and hurriedly dispatched reinforcements to try to retake the sluice again.
Dugu Feng led his army into the city, and one thing was to order the burning of houses in the city to stop the Jin army from attacking, and to give the subsequent army enough time to enter the city.
Wanyan Wuta personally brought five hundred iron cavalry and two thousand infantrymen to kill him, but by the time he arrived near the sluice, the fire had already started, and the street that was easy for the horse army to rush to rush was already in a raging fire. The soldiers of the Jin army could only find some narrow alleys to launch an attack. The Tiger and Lie Army occupied the geographical advantage, turned passive into initiative, and successfully blocked the fierce counterattack of the Jin army.
Wu Jie brought two attacking troops into the city. The two armies met. Dugu Feng continued to hold on and resisted the Jin army. Wu Jie led his army to attack the east gate quickly to help the tiger and brigades outside the city quickly enter the city.

At six o'clock in the afternoon, the battle between inside and outside Zhending City was fierce, and the soldiers on both sides were fighting hard.
However, the fire in the city soared into the sky, and the sound of killing sounds were everywhere. Everyone knew that the Hu Lie Army had entered the city, which gave the Jin army a heavy blow. Who would have thought that the Hu Lie Army was so powerful that it would capture Zhending City within two days? This was simply unimaginable before.
The defenders of Dongcheng were attacked from both sides. The soldiers of the Jin army were exhausted. At this moment, they saw that the city had been broken and their confidence collapsed instantly. The Han soldiers surrendered first, but the foreign soldiers could not resist, and then fled one after another.
At the moment of ugly moment, the East City was defeated, and Zhang Gao'er commanded the army to enter the city.
In despair, Wanyan Wuta gathered foreign troops and broke out to the north. Zhongshan was more than a hundred miles north. As long as he escaped the Shahe River, his life would be saved.
Li Jin commanded the army to attack Beicheng. Five miles outside the city were Gao Baolong's Bohai Army, and the second Hulie Army of Abaddon who had just rushed back from the Shahe battlefield. Yue Fei transferred him back in an attempt to siege and kill the breaking Jin army.
The Jin army broke out of the northern city. Li Jin ordered the troops to make way for the passage and let them escape.
Wanyan Wuta and about 3,000 francs galloped on a pegasus. As soon as they rushed out of the encirclement, they ran into the tiger and fierce horse army that was ready to go.
More than 3,000 Jin army cavalry were soon hidden by nearly 30,000 tiger and fierce horses. This was a battle without any suspense. Gao Baolong and Abaddon had already knocked Wanyan Wuta down while talking and laughing, and swept away more than 3,000 Jin soldiers.

On the 17th day, the tiger army conquered Zhending City.
At dawn, the commanders of each army rushed to the commander camp.
Yue Fei was very excited. The Hu Lie Army won Zhending City within the scheduled time, which reversed the situation in the entire Hebei battle and firmly controlled the initiative on the battlefield.
"Tomorrow, Guishuai and Baoshuai will lead their troops to advance east along the Hutuo River, conquering Shenzhou as fast as possible, and breaking into Hejian Prefecture. Cut off the retreat of the main force of the Jin army in Hebei." Yue Fei stood in front of the map and deployed the next attack strategy. "Ship Li and Shuai Dugu led the army to follow up and seize the Hulu River line as fast as possible, and strive to block the Jin army in Jizhou."
"Ship Luo, Shuai Wang and Shuai Lin continue to fight on the front line of Shahe to restrain the Zhongshan Jin army." Yue Fei said, "The Zhongshan Jin army will soon receive news of the fall of Zhending City. According to my estimate, its main force must move to Gaoyang and Xiongzhou to support the retreat of the Hebei Jin army. I will order Shuai Luo and others to closely monitor the movements of the Zhongshan Jin army. Once the main force of the Zhongshan Jin army moves in the direction of Gaoyang, they will quickly kill Gaoyang, and must block the Zhongshan Jin army on the north bank of the Hutuo River and prevent them from going south to Hejian Prefecture to ensure that our main army encircles and annihilate the Hebei Jin army on the Huluhe Line."
Speaking of this, Yue Fei stopped, looked at the generals, and asked with a smile: "I want to know, if you are the commander of the Jin army in Hebei now, what countermeasures will you take after you know that Zhending is lost? Or, which path will you choose to retreat? Should you cross the Hulu River, Hutuo River, withdraw from Baigou from Jizhou, or go north from Handan and return to Zhongshan from Zhending?"
The generals looked at each other and immediately understood what Yue Fei meant.
The Huli Army conquered Zhending City in the shortest time, which was completely beyond the expectations of the Jin army. As for the current battlefield situation, the Huli Army had enough time to seize the Hutuo River and Hulu River and cut off the Jin army's retreat route, but is the Jin army really only one retreat route? When the main forces of the Huli Army all rushed to Hutuo River and Hulu River, the Zhending Mansion would definitely be empty. It is entirely possible for the Jin army of Handan to go north directly and take the road closest to Baigou.
If the Jin army had been sticking to Zhending City, it would be natural for its main force to go north from Jizhou, but now that Zhending City has been lost, the Hu Lie Army intends to surround its main force in the Jizhou area, will Zong Fu still lead his army to jump into the trap?
"Are you planning to lure Zong Fu to Zhending City?" Li Jin asked in surprise.
"Zongfu is very passive now." Yue Fei smiled. "If he wants to turn the situation around, the best and fastest way is to regain Zhending City, so as to break out of our encirclement and turn passive into activeness. In this way, he not only saved the army, but also saved the three towns in Hebei, but the contrary..." Yue Fei turned around and pointed to the Hutuo River and Hulu River on the map. "How likely is he to fight against us in this area? How confident is he to break through our encirclement?"
"What if Youyan's army goes south to support?" Li Jin continued, "If Youyan's Jin army goes all out, the Zhending War will evolve into a decisive battle between the two sides in Middle-earth."
"We urgently need this decisive battle." Yue Fei waved his arm vigorously, "If we lure Zongfu to Zhending City and surround him, and then use Zongfu as bait to lure Youyan Jin army to the decisive battle battlefield, then we can unify Zhongtu in the shortest time. In order to complete the great cause of unification as soon as possible, we would rather pay a heavy price to win this decisive battle."
All the generals looked at each other, and were shocked by Yue Fei's heroic spirit. Today, Yue Fei is becoming more and more like Li Hu, with a higher heart than the sky, and his power is like swallowing a tiger.
