On the 26th, under the attack of the Tiger and Lieutenant Army from north to south... the Jin army had to attack and defend. Zong Fu deployed heavy troops on the southern line to resist Li Hu's attack; set up a formation on the south bank of the Tengshui River to block Yue Fei's attack.
At five o'clock in the morning, Yue Fei took the lead in launching an attack on the front line of the Tengshui River.
The Tiger Lie Army was well prepared. With the help of the civilians, the Food Shooting Army quickly built dozens of large rafts. The assault soldiers took the rafts to the other side, and bravely advanced while covering the subsequent army to build more than a dozen temporary pontoon bridges in a short period of time based on the rafts.
The main forces of the Jin army were all on the southern line and the northern line were seriously insufficient. They thought that if there were rivers to block each other, they could fight calmly, but the Tiger and Lieutenant Army was extremely intelligent, and they successfully built a floating bridge in a very short time and sent more troops to the other side at an incredible speed.
The fierce battle on the northern front lasted only an hour, and the Jin army could not hold on. Zongbi and Ha Michi hurriedly asked Zongfu for help.
Zong Fu had no troops to adjust. On the opposite side, the Tiger Lie Army had a dense battle formation, and it was endless to see at first sight, with amazing momentum. Before the war began, the morale of the Jin army was severely blown. The soldiers looked at the murderous Tiger Lie Army opposite. They were all shocked and frightened.
At the time of Si, Li Hu gave the order, and the war drums were like thunder. The Tiger and Lieutenant Army launched an attack. The horse and infantry advanced together. Tens of thousands of soldiers rushed towards the Jin army like a scattered sea of terror.
Zong Fuyi was not afraid and commanded the horse and infantry to attack and kill.
The two armies fought fiercely, the sound of killing was earth-shaking, war horses rushed back and forth, smoke and dust rose into the sky, covering the sky and the sun.
In the afternoon, Zhe Kecun, the Shandong army commanded by Xin Xingzong made a breakthrough in the front and broke through the two blocking battle formations of the Jin army.
In a hurry, Zong Fu threw all the reserved horse troops in his hands. The number of horse troops in the Central Plains and Shandong Tiger Lieutenant Army was insufficient and failed to effectively support the middle route, resulting in serious losses in the Shandong army and had to retreat.
The Hu Lie Army was blocked from the attack on the southern line, but the northern line became more and more brave. At the critical moment, Zong Fu decisively mobilized 10,000 horse troops from the northern line to support the northern line. The Hu Lie Army crossed the river and attacked all infantry soldiers. Under the fierce counterattack of the Jurchen horse army, they could not resist and retreated one after another.

That night, Yue Fei and Lu Junyi rushed to the Grand Marshal's Camp to pay homage to Li Hu.
Yue Fei was very dissatisfied with the result of today's battle. For this reason, he reviewed that he had made a mistake in the deployment of troops and believed that the two horse troops of Abaddon and Helasu should be placed on the battlefield on the southern front. "I thought the infantry could break through the Jin army's blockade and then use the horse army to carry out a fatal blow, but the Jin army was extremely powerful. Not only did he block our infantry on the northern front, but he also promptly transferred the horse army from the northern front to launch a counterattack, which caused our attack to be blocked and the losses were serious."
"Gui Shuai, Bao Shuai, Li Shuai and Dugu Shuai have led their troops across the Yishui River and will arrive at the Luancheng battlefield tomorrow." Yue Fei gritted his teeth, and his eyes showed a strong murderous aura. "Li Shuai and Dugu Shuai's three armies participated in the attack on the northern front. Bao Shuai's Bohai Army and Gui Shuai's three armies joined Abaddon's Tiger Lie 2nd Army, and Hailasu's Tiger Lie 9th Army rushed to the southern front to fight, destroying the defense of the Jin army with absolute superior forces."
Li Hu thought for a moment and shook his hand, "Don't worry. Let me ask you, did Liu Yanzong's army cross the river and enter Zhongshan?"
"The Ghost and Baoshuai have been sending scouts to stare at them. It is certain that Liu Yanzong has entered Zhongshan." Yue Fei knew that Li Hu was worried about the battle situation on the front line of Shahe, and then briefly introduced the fierce battle between Luolan, Wang Gui and Lin Chong in Shahe in the past few days. "Wanyan Jiemu and Han Qinghe continued to attack, and our army suffered greater losses, and the soldiers were also very tired, but Luolan said in the battle report that he was confident of blocking the Jin army on the north bank of Shahe so as to give the main force enough attack time."
"There are more than 60,000 Jin troops in Zhongshan. If Liu Yanzong meets them, the force may be close to 100,000." Ying Qin frowned and said, "Roland only has four armies, and the blocking force is too small. We must send additional reinforcements to them immediately."
Yue Fei hesitated and said nothing. He disagreed with Ying Qin's opinion. The most urgent task was to wipe out the Jin army in Hebei. As long as he surrounded and killed Zong Fu and the more than 100,000 Jin troops, it would not matter even if the Shahe blockade failed, and it would not affect the trend of the entire battle situation. However, in front of Li Hu, he could not directly refute Ying Qin's face, so he responded silently and waited for Li Hu's decision.
Zhe Kecun knew Yue Fei's temper. Seeing Ying Qin's bad expression, he hurriedly took the initiative to smooth things over. "Supervisor Yue, now Liu Yanzong leads his army to retreat north to Zhongshan. We only have two battlefields, Shahe and Luancheng. In order to ensure that there is no accident, we can consider appropriately increasing troops to Shahe."
"The battle situation has developed to this point, and there is no need to care about the gains and losses of a city and a place." Yue Fei chuckled indifferently, raised his hand and made a fist stance. "As long as we wiped out all the Jin army on the Luancheng battlefield, Hebei is ours. If we lure the Jin army in Zhongshan and eat them again, then Yanjing will definitely win. Youyan can get it at your fingertips."
Ying Qin, Zhe Kecun, Lu Junyi and the generals in the tent were all surprised when they heard this. They looked at Yue Fei together and thought he was too crazy. It is already difficult for the Hu Lie Army to eat the Jin army on the Luancheng battlefield, but Yue Fei has a bigger appetite. He also wants to eat the Jin army on the Shahe battlefield. This is almost impossible unless a miracle happens.
"Are you expecting Guo Yaoshi to turn against him?" Ying Qin shook his head, "Ship Yue, Guo Yaoshi has been betraying him repeatedly. At this critical moment today, will the Jurchens still trust him wholeheartedly?"
"I don't care whether the Jurchens trust him or not, but one thing is certain that Guo Yaoshi's betrayal has become the turning point of the Luancheng War and is also the reason why we can continue to create miracles." Yue Fei said calmly, "If Guo Yaoshi has the ability to turn against him in front of the battlefield, it will definitely be a disaster for the Jin army. On the contrary, if the Jurchens discovered Guo Yaoshi's betrayal, Zong Fu would kill not only Guo Yaoshi and his cronies, but also the Changsheng Army."
Yue Fei looked at Ying Qin, then looked at the generals in the tent, and asked with a smile. "If you are Zong Fu, how to solve this problem? If you kill Guo Yaoshi and his confidant subordinates, the Changsheng Army will definitely rebel; if you don't kill Guo Yaoshi and the others, the Changsheng Army will be in chaos. Zong Fu dares to let them go to the battlefield? The problem facing Zong Fu is not Guo Yaoshi, but the Changsheng Army, but he obviously cannot handle the matter of the Changsheng Army well, so he has failed in this battle. Therefore, at this time, we must not only consider how to wipe out Zong Fu at the fastest speed, but also how to kill Wanyan Jiemu so that we can kill Yanjing and Youyan after we recover Hebei."
Ying Qin thought for a moment, and saw Li Hu’s smile on his face from the corner of his eyes. He immediately realized that Li Hu actually agreed with Yue Fei’s attack strategy. His caution was meaningless. "Since Yue Shuai is absolutely sure, I firmly support it." Ying Qin immediately expressed his support for Yue Fei.
Zhe Kecun looked at Ying Qin, with a hint of contempt in his eyes, but it was fleeting. He insisted on his opinion, "Yue Fei, the situation of the war is unpredictable, and we don't know when this variable of Guo Yaoshi will take effect, but it is a fact that the Jin army's troops in Zhongshan are becoming more and more powerful, and the Youyan direction is more likely to continue to send reinforcements. In this way, it will become more and more difficult to block Shahe, and the consequences will be unimaginable once the collapse is collapsed."
"I have repeatedly told Tie Shuai, old Dong Shuai, and Hu Shuai (Hu Jiayong) and Wang Shuai (Wang Yao) on the front line of Juyongguan, asking them to launch an attack at all costs to give us enough time to fight." Yue Fei said, "We all know that under the current circumstances, the possibility of Zong Han leading his army to attack Daibei is very small. After all, he has to consider the overall situation of the desert and the interests of the Khitans in Daibei, so if nothing unexpected happens, or if our attack speed is fast enough, Zong Han should not have much action in the north, which will give Dai Beihu Lie Army the opportunity to attack Youyan with all his strength. As long as Hu Shuai and Wang Shuai fight fiercely, it will be difficult for Youyan to transfer reinforcements south in the short term."
"In addition, we must also consider the situation of Huanglong Mansion." Sun Ge took the opportunity to interject, "According to the reliable information we obtained, the national policy of Huanglong Mansion has changed. Wu Qimai's development strategy of 'South first and then north' had to be modified after a series of severe blows in the Middle-earth battlefield. Zong Han insisted on the development strategy of 'North first and then south again took the upper hand. For this reason, Huanglong Mansion made a decision. Once the battlefield in Hebei fails, he will stick to Youyan, and then use Baigou as the national border to argue with Zhongtu. From this decision, Wanyan Gao's primary goal is to stick to Youyan, so our judgment is that it will be difficult for Youyan to send reinforcements south in the short term."
"This can also explain why Wanyan Jiemu and Han Qinghe have been abnormal and continued to attack." Yue Fei continued Sun Ge's words, "We cannot increase our troops in Shahe in the near future to create the illusion of insufficient troops and Luancheng attacking difficult, and then let Luo Lan pretend to be unable to support him, step by step, and lure Wanyan Jiemu to Zhending City. Once we win the battlefield in Luancheng, the army will go north on the whole line, and then encircle Wanyan Jiemu and wipe it out."
Yue Fei roughly explained his idea of the entire battle situation.
This idea was beyond the expectations of all generals and was very difficult to implement, so after Yue Fei finished speaking, the tent was very quiet, and everyone turned their attention to Li Hu.
Li Hu strongly agreed with Yue Fei's strategy. He urgently needed to recover Hebei and Youyan. Yue Fei's strategy was exactly in line with his needs.
"It will be implemented according to Yue Shuai's strategy." Li Hu thought for a moment and said decisively, "In order to unify Zhongtu as soon as possible, we must work together and win this battle at all costs."
Then Li Hu ordered, "order Abaddon and Helasu to cross the river overnight to enter the southern battlefield. Then he told Gui Shuai and Bao Shuai to speed up the marching speed and be sure to arrive at the battlefield before noon tomorrow."
"Tomorrow, the northern line will continue to be commanded by Supervisor Yue, and the southern line will be commanded by me personally. We must break through the defense of the Jin army and give it a heavy blow."
All the generals took the orders and returned to their base camps.
