"Okay, we'll get ready at midnight the day after tomorrow, and we'll leave the city immediately on the fourth watch."

The Jin army did not wait for news of reinforcements, but the Song army waited for news of Xixia.
Wu Jie and Wu Lin personally led the army to the Xixia battlefield. The situation in the Xixia war immediately took a huge turn. Xixia began a large-scale counterattack. Wanyan Zongwang was on the verge of desperation and began to withdraw his troops.
As soon as this news reached Yunzhou, Zhao Kai and others were overjoyed. This war started from Xixia, so Xixia is the most critical battlefield. If the Jin army destroys Xixia, then their army can directly detour from the west.
Then Yanyun's defense can be bypassed, so the first key point of this battle is not in Yanyun, but in Xixia. Now the Song army has achieved a comprehensive victory in Xixia, and the reinforcements from Yunzhou have not been seen. This battle
The war has been declared near to its end.

Xiazhou.
When Zhong Shidao was discussing with General Yiqian how to encircle and annihilate Wanyan Zongwang, a general suddenly walked in quickly and said, "Old General, something bad has happened. Wanyan Zongwang did not go to the Jingbian area, but to our direction of Suizhou."
went."
Master Zhong stood up suddenly, opened his eyes wide and said, "How is this possible?"
The general said: "Originally, the enemy general Liu Yanzong's violent attack on the Jingbian area a few days ago was just a cover to make us think that they wanted to break out from here and enter the Hetao area. But when Wanyan Zongwang arrived with his army, Liu Yanzong immediately gave up on Jingbian.
area, ran to meet Wanyan Zongwang, bypassed Hengshan, and chose to break out from the Suizhou area of our Song Dynasty."
Suizhou, Jingbian, and Hengshan are equal to a triangle. Jingbian is to the west of Hengshan area, and Suizhou is to the east of Hengshan area. Suizhou used to belong to Xixia, but the Song Dynasty took it back during the Xining period and became part of Yan'an Prefecture.
.
"Around Hengshan?"
Zhong Shidao blinked. He never expected that Wanyan Zongwang would break out from the Song Dynasty, but---he had already transferred the troops from Fuzhou to Xiazhou, leaving Hengshan with no defense. He then said: "Then Xixia
Where’s the army? Aren’t they pursuing us from behind?”
In fact, Zhong Shidao did not have many troops, and he had to guard various intersections, so he only asked the soldiers to hold out for half a day. Within half a day, Li Dingbian's army would feel that although Hengshan's defense was empty, the terrain was relatively dangerous.
, which is why Zhong Shidao did not expect that Wanyan Zongwang would choose to bypass Hengshan, but given the terrain there, there is absolutely no problem in dragging it for half a day. Logically speaking, Li Dingbian's army should have felt it.
The general said: "On the way to pursue, the Xixia army encountered an ambush from the Jin army, and the pursuit was blocked. Although the ambush has been eliminated, I am afraid that it will be too late."
Zhong Shidao sighed in annoyance and said: "Then Li Dingbian has experienced hundreds of battles, how could he be so careless at such a critical moment? The enemy's ambush was only two to three thousand people at most. How could he?"
An army of ten thousand was actually held back by two or three thousand, this----."
