The Mao army was somewhat unexpected for such a crazy attack on the Jin army. He thought for a moment and immediately ordered the Shenlong Army and the Thunder Army to quickly support Zhenchuankou, repel the Jin army, and give the Tiger Lie 3rd Army a breath.

"I hurriedly report to Baoshuai and ask him to take the Bohai Army to quickly arrive at Zhenchuankou and prepare to cover the evacuation of the front-line troops."

Evacuation? Wang Ping looked at Mao’s army in surprise. He had said he would defend Zhenchuankou to the death. In a blink of an eye, he was about to evacuate again. "Will you evacuate at dusk?"

"No, retreat immediately, retreat to the second line of defense." Mao Jun said, "Tell Wu Shuai that Li Shuai and Dugu Shuai are preparing for a night battle. The Jurchens must make a concerted effort. If they are successful in fighting, they may reach Zhenchuan Fort tonight."

"Say Baoshuai again, Mushuai and Langshuai (Abaddon), don't fight the Jin army to death, they just need to delay the attack speed of the Jin army."

The Third Army of Tiger and Lieutenant was already in danger, almost all the frontal blocking battle formations were lost, and the small hills on both wings were about to be lost, while the Jin army was still increasing its troops. At this moment, the Han army could not withdraw even if they wanted to withdraw.

Wu Xiong hurriedly ordered to ask the Ma Jun for help, "Tell Mu Shuai and Lang Shuai, immediately support me to help me retreat to the second line of defense."

Mu Taoli and Abaddon saw Zhenchuankou raising a banner of help, and hurriedly sent 500 cavalry to the rear of the Han army's battle formation as quickly as possible, preparing to stop the Jin army's pursuit.

At this moment, Dugu Feng commanded the Shenlong Army, and Li Jin commanded the Thunder Army to kill.

The Dragon Army rushed into the battlefield like a tide and launched a counterattack on the Jin army, while the Thunder Army followed up and used a dense array of arrows to block the Jin soldiers.

The attack momentum of the Jin army was curbed. But they did not retreat, and they could not retreat either. Seeing that the Han army had increased its troops, Zong Wang also ordered the increase of troops and did not take down Zhenchuankou. He would never stop the attack.

The Third Hulie Army withdrew from the battlefield.

Soon, Gao Baolong and the Bohai Army arrived. The six generals and horse army set up formations along the two wings of Zhenchuankou to cover the evacuation of the infantry.

Mao Taoli and Abaddon were also ordered to withdraw from the battlefield and joined the Bohai Army to retreat slowly.

At dusk, the Han army retreated two miles and formed an array to fight again.

Zong Han arrived at the front line in the afternoon. He was a little dissatisfied with Zong Wang's attack speed. But he did not put it on his face. Instead, he ordered the Jin army to attack thousands of people in a row, one after another, and it surged like a wave. It could only move forward but not retreat, and it destroyed the Han army.

On both wings, he ordered an active attack. He still suppressed it with his military advantage. I am just crueler than you. I am just trying to attack you. The sharpness is revealed. Compared to Zong Wang's more conservative strategy of luring the enemy into annihilation, Zong Han is more aggressive. The Han army was exhausted and attacked the Jin army at this moment. He could not resist it immediately. Fortunately, even if the Mao army changed its strategy, he threw the Shenlong Army and the Thunder Army into the battlefield. Otherwise, the Tiger Lie Third Army would definitely collapse. The Han army retreated and attacked for a whole day. The Jin army finally breathed a sigh of relief. This attack technique was not only unbearable by the Han army, but also by the Jin army himself. But Zong Han immediately ordered, "Transfer all troops to cross Zhenchuankou quickly and attack overnight."

Yelu Yuji and Wanyan Loushi and other generals complained secretly. Yelu Yuji had the courage to confront Zong Wang, but he did not dare to turn against Zong Han. Zong Han was one of the four great errants, with a high position and power, and could not afford to offend him. Yuji hesitated for a long time and couldn't help but speak. The main troops attacked today were Yuji's men. They were killed in one day and injured at least 5,000 more than 5,000. The soldiers were exhausted. If they fought again overnight, their subordinates would definitely be furious and rebel.

"You retreat and rest." Zong Wang understood his difficulties and took the initiative to say, "Tonight, Yelu Foding and Wanyan Zongjun will be the main attack in the first half of the night, and Yelu Tan and Wanyan Wuta will be the main attack in the second half of the night. Tomorrow morning, we must advance to Zhenchuan Fort."

The speed of the five miles was slow enough, but the Han army was very tenacious. From the battle at Zhenchuankou today, it can be seen that Li Hu's subordinates were all fierce people. If you beat their anger out, these people would be killed. Zong Han and Zong Wang wanted them to kill themselves in order to consume the Han army's troops to the greatest extent on the front line of Zhenchuan Fort.

"The horse army fought for a day, and if it fights overnight at night..." Wanyan Loushi was worried that the losses were too great, but Zong Han waved his hand hard and interrupted him, "To transfer the Bohai horse army and the Xi horse army to the evening, be sure to ensure the safety of the attacking army's wings."

Wanyan Loushi no longer spoke. This war was related to the future of the Jin Dynasty, and it was reasonable that Zong Han and Zong Wang went all out. The Jin army had a lot of troops, and as the attacking party, they could concentrate their troops in one place and fight day and night. The Han army had fewer troops, and as the defensive party, they had to guard many passes, which led to a limited number of troops facing the front. Under the crazy attack of the Jin army, the Han army was exhausted, and over time, their combat effectiveness decreased. Not only did they damage shockingly, but their morale was also lost. In this way, the Jin army could win with confidence.

Yelu Yuji looked at the dead bodies everywhere on the battlefield in Zhenchuankou, and felt a chill in his heart. He followed the Jurchens to fight Zhongjing and went to Daibei to fight Dezhou. He thought he knew the Jurchens. When he looked again today, he found that he did not know the Jurchens at all. The Jurchens could defeat the Khitan army and quickly rise to become the master in the north. It was indeed its extraordinary. This army was too powerful, and there was no chance of winning when fighting such an army.

The Jin army advanced rapidly.

Zong Han was on the roadside and silently looked at the soldiers advancing, while slowly turning the whip in his hands. Gao Qingyi rode his horse to report to him about the battle situation today.

"What army does the Han army have on the front line of Zhenchuan Fort?"

"After the full attack today, we found that in addition to the Tiger Lie Army, Bohai Army, Shenlong Army and Thunder Army, there were also Zhang Guanyu's Wu Yong Army, Win Qin's Yunshuo Army, and Dong Zhongsun's Heishan Army also arrived in the Zhenchuan Fort area." Gao Qingyi said, "The Hu family's brave resentful army stationed at the Hukou. In addition, Hou Jiadi Feiyun Army and Zhang Gao'er's Yan Wang Army were both in Yehuling. In this way, the main forces of the rebel army have all reached Datong."

Zong Han thought for a while and asked, "Did you understand the matters of Yisheng's military and local affairs?"

"According to news from Xijing, the Yisheng Army was composed of new recruits from Li Hu recently recruited in Yunshuo. It was stationed at the Killing Hukou and had no combat power."

"Have you ever discovered the army in the Song Dynasty?"

"No, but the assistance from the Song Dynasty has been continuously transported into Datong." Gao Qingyi smiled, "I hope that the more assistance, the better. In this way, we will gain even greater after we conquer Xijing."

"It's true?" Zong Han asked.

"It is indeed not. Although these people in Xijing City have low official positions, since they surrendered to us, they should do their best to do their best to enter Datong. There is no reason for them not to know about it." Gao Qingyi said, "But if we attack too hard and Li Hu can't hold on, the Song army in Hedong may go north."

"So we have to seize the time. This battle must be fought quickly and won't be delayed." Zong Han said, "The longer this battle is delayed, the larger the Song army may be in support."

"In two days, the army of Pu's family (Wanyan Yu) will arrive at the Killhukou. After he launches an attack, Li Hu will lose sight of the other side." Gao Qingyi said confidently, "The faster and more we fight at Zhenchuan Fort, the more we can hold Li Hu's main force and consume his main force faster. When the Killhukou starts, Li Hu has no soldiers to adjust. He can only transfer troops from Yehuling."

"If the army of the Song people supports it in time, we will be in trouble." Zong Han looked worried. "Li Hu deployed 30,000 people in Yehu Ridge, and the terrain was almost necessary. We attacked 80,000 to 100,000 troops, and we might not be able to capture it in a hurry. Zong Wang fought for more than 20 days last time but did not fight. If he was still blocked this time, when the Song army entered Datong, the situation of the war would be detrimental to us."

Gao Qingyi didn't say anything, and this was the problem he was most worried about. The Jin army was about 300,000, and Li Hu had more than 100,000 troops. In order to maintain heavy pressure on Datong, the Jin army had to use at least 200,000 troops, so that they could only draw 100,000 to the Yehuling. If this army could win the Yehuling within three to five days, this would definitely win this battle, but if it could not be won, it would be hard to say who would lose and who would win this battle.

"Do you think the people of the Song Dynasty will definitely support Li Hu?" Gao Qingyi asked, "This is a problem of raising tigers."

Zong Han sneered, "The people of the Song Dynasty are not idiots. Don't they know that the biggest threat to them is not Li Hu, but us Jurchens? Don't underestimate the people of the Song Dynasty. They rushed to Liaodong a few years ago to actively form an alliance with us to attack Liao. This shows their vision and strategy. And so on. Of course, they took precautions in advance to avoid being injured by the tiger if they failed to drive the tiger and swallow the wolf." Zong Han looked at Gao Qingyi and asked, "When do you think Li Hu had defected to the Song Dynasty?"

"It should be in western Liaoning." Gao Qingyi said, "The sudden rise of the sea Huiyi was directly related to the fueling of the Song Dynasty."

Zong Han nodded, "So, we have reason to suspect that Li Hu suddenly went on a thousand miles to enter Xijing, which may be one of the strategies for the Song Dynasty to recover Yan Yun."

"So, our biggest enemy in this battle is not Li Hu, but the Song Dynasty, right?" Gao Qingyi asked.

"I hope it's not." Zong Han said, "The Song Dynasty was defeated in Youyan too bizarrely, and it was defeated incredible. Don't you think there is something wrong with it?"

Gao Qingyi was stunned for a moment. At this moment, the Jurchens had beaten the Khitans to only breathe a sigh of relief. It was the critical moment when the Jurchens became the overlord of the north. If the Song Dynasty planned to attack Youyan, and actually secretly transferred the main force to Datong to fight the Jin Kingdom, then this battle would be enough to defeat the Jurchens back to their original form. In this way, the Song Dynasty could sweep the entire north.

If this guess is true, the world is the world of the Song people, and it is reasonable that Li Hu willingly defected to the Song Dynasty.

Mao’s army briefly explained the situation of today’s battle, “The Jin army attacked overnight and was very fierce. We have lost Zhenchuankou and are now fighting fiercely with the Jin army on the second line of defense.”

He lost Zhenchuankou in one day? Li Hu was shocked, "Is the loss big?" The Third Army suffered more than half of the casualties and lost its combat effectiveness, and urgently needed to replenish its troops." Mao Jun shook his head and smiled bitterly, "General General, we are at a disadvantage in this way. If killing Hukou cannot solve the problem, the battle situation will be very unfavorable to us."

Li Hu smiled slightly, "Tong Guan has ordered the Hedong Army to go north to support him."
