Guo Kui held up the telescope and looked at the Khitans in the distance, and said lightly: "In such a short time, I sent several spies. It seems that the Khitans have discovered that they may be surrounded."

Li Cai on the side said: "It's okay for Taiwei Zhang of Xiongzhou and Chen Rui in the south. We guard the Khitans' retreat, so they really have nowhere to go. We sent people many times, but I think we are looking at how many of our troops and want to escape."

Guo Kui shook his head slightly: "After now, do they still want to escape? These people are all the soldiers and horses in Zhuozhou, and they are encircled here, and there is no connection behind them. If it weren't for the strict order of the Privy Council, they were not allowed to cross the river. After destroying them, we took Zhuozhou with the flow, and the Khitan would have no choice but to do anything!"

After saying that, he ordered his troops to guard the defense line three miles south of the Juma River and not allow the Khitans to go there. As long as he cut off the way back, two other troops would fight. Chen Rui's troops came from afar, just like him, without artillery, and their firepower was relatively weak. Zhang Ji from Xiongzhou was different, and he was prepared. He was waiting to surround the Khitan soldiers and horses, with complete guns and cannons, and forward to destroy the Khitans.

Hearing the report from the Mass, two or three miles south of the Jima River, he found the Song army. It lasted for several miles and could not find out how many people there were. Yelu Fonu only felt that his head was as big as a fight. Now it seems that the Song army should have found out about the news of its transit and made preparations. The encirclement was on three sides, and there were Song troops in the north and south and east, so he had no way to go. It was Baozhou to the west, let alone, he would be completely trapped in the Song territory when he entered Baozhou.

After breathing a sigh of relief, Yelu Fonu said sternly: "There are no soldiers in Zhuozhou. Today, I am surrounded. There is no other way to imagine. I can only turn around and open a gap in the defenders to retreat to Zhuozhou! The whole army gathers together, don't bring any extra things, retreat!"

After saying that, assembled the troops and prepared to retreat.

Wei Cai sighed, feeling uneasy when he crossed the river. Unexpectedly, he guessed it correctly. He only had 10,000 cavalrymen, and was surrounded by 20,000 to 30,000 soldiers who had been prepared. It was really a disaster.

Chen Rui looked at Zhang Ji's order, breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Qu Anlan: "The Taiwei has an order, and the Khitans are gathering their troops and preparing to retreat north. He ordered our army to go north immediately and entangle the Khitans at the station. Jia Kui's troops have insufficient weapons and want to stop the Khitans completely, but they only have no choice but to catch them."

After saying that, he ordered his troops to attack immediately with cavalry. Try to entangle the Khitans and wait for the infantry in the rear to arrive. The war began, and the Khitans could not leave. They came from afar and were not fully equipped. If they really wanted to attack, they had to rely on Zhang Ji's troops.

Yelu Fonu had just assembled his troops and heard dense gunshots coming from afar. Over the years, the Khitans were no longer unfamiliar with this sound, and knew that it was the Song army who arrived. He said to Wei Cai: "General, do not be entangled by the Song army. I will lead a large group of people to go north to find a way out! The entire army has survived and died in this way, General carefully!"

Wei Cai crossed his hands and agreed. He wanted to say something, but he couldn't say it. He had to run with a pluck of horse reins and run towards the gunshot with his men.

Twenty miles away from Xiongzhou, Zhang Ji led his army out of the city and ordered the entire army to move quickly. He wanted to surround the Khitans before dark. His troops brought artillery to attack the most. Otherwise, it would be difficult for ten thousand cavalry to charge against the pure infantry army. At night, if the Khitans take advantage of the night to break through, their responsibilities would be great. It would be better not to let the Khitans attack Jia Kui's troops, they would guard the Jimahe River and surround the Khitans to death.

When there were ten miles away from the station, the Mahayana reported that the Khitans were gathering their troops and preparing to retreat north.

Zhang Ke said: "Chen Rui has already arrived in Nanyishui, why didn't he go north to entangle the Khitans?"

The explorer said: "General Chen has sent cavalry to fight with the Khitans. The Khitans have divided up to block the pursuers, but the army will still go north."

Zhang Kui thought for a while and said, "I ordered our cavalry to go north to stop the Khitans immediately! Also, I ordered Jia Kui to send 3,000 people to go forward to block the Khitan army. Tell Jia Kui not to let the Khitan army approach the Jumahe!"

The personal soldiers on the side agreed and left.

Zhang Ke said again: "I ordered the entire army to hurry up and be surrounded by the Khitans before dawn!"

The general on the side responded to the promise and urged his troops again to hurry to the station.

Yelu Fonu brought his troops and horses to throw away all the supplies snatched from the station and retreated urgently. At this time, the sun had already set in the west, and the cold wind was rising, and it smelled quite desolate on his body. The Khitans crossed the river for nearly a day, and they were snatched happily in the station, but suddenly they found that they were surrounded. Many people were extremely frightened. The people neighed and shouted, heading north, thinking about crossing the Juma River soon.

After walking five or six miles, Wei Cai suddenly ran back with his hair loose and crossed his hands in front of Yelu Fonu: "General, the last general is taking people to fight with the Song army. I don't expect that the large Song army from behind will come, and it is really impossible to resist the enemy!"

Yelu Fonu looked at the sun in the sky and said, "What should I do? If we are entangled by the Song army, we can escape even if we dare!"

At this moment, a horse came over and said with a cross-legged hand: "General, the Song army in the north sent thousands of people to collide with our forward. Now we are fighting hard and can't leave!"

Yelu Fonu thought for a moment and asked, "How far is the Song army from Xiongzhou to the east?"

The personal soldiers on the side said, "Just just now, it was only five or six miles away. After an hour, I'm afraid I'll bump into it."

When Yelu Fonu heard this, he couldn't help but sigh: "It seems that if we don't fight a war, we will not be able to cross the Jimahe River. We ordered the entire army to form a formation and prepare for the battle! If our formation is torn apart by the Song army, it will be even more troublesome!"

The generals agreed and ordered their headquarters not to move forward and form formations on the spot. At this time, the Song army came from three directions, and there were troops fighting in both directions, and only more than 7,000 people gathered.

Yelu Fonu said to Wei Cai: "It's not far from darkness. As long as we stay until dark, we may escape while the night is dark. You bring three thousand soldiers to guard the Song army coming from the south. I will take the rest of my troops to kill the Song army coming from the east for a while. When it gets dark, we will concentrate our entire army and kill the Juma River to the north! Now it will not be delayed for a moment. Otherwise, these ten thousand soldiers and horses may have been broken here!"

Wei Cai Yingnuo ordered three thousand troops and headed south again. At this time, Chen Rui's main force had not yet caught up, and only the vanguard troops were entangled with the Khitans and prevented them from escaping calmly. Yelu Fonu ordered the troops and horses and lined up to the east, preparing to face Zhang Ji's army.

Seeing that the Khitan army no longer advanced north, Guo Kui's three thousand cavalry gradually retreated. They were lightly equipped and had only one sabre to fight against the Khitans except for cavalry and rifles, and they did not have the upper hand. Zhang Ku's troops had arrived, and the mission was completed, so there was no need to fight.

After hearing the personal soldiers reported the situation ahead, Guo Kui said: "Order all troops to guard the Jumahe tightly and not allow a Khitan to go there! There are other troops in front of us to fight, so we just need to defend the Khitan retreat!"
