Wanyan Talan, Yang Xunqing and others carefully discussed the strategy of breaking through. Finally, they decided to adjust the deployment of troops locally, and after noon, they launched an attack on the Datun and Malinggang lines to strive to break through the enemy's siege without fully consolidating the encirclement formation and lack of cooperation between the troops.
Yang Xunqing took the initiative to take on the heavy responsibility of blocking the enemy on the western front, Wulihai commanded the Xi army to block the main force of the Huli Army's Huli Army, and Liu Yu was responsible for the southern front. However, Wanyan Talan saw Liu Yu's fearful look and decided to let Huo Shi be responsible for blocking the enemy on the southern front, and he himself led the main force to attack northward.
"This battle is of great importance. Whether we can break through is not only related to our own wealth and life, but also to the survival of Shandong." Wanyan Talan said seriously at last, "We have defeated us. Whether we are wiped out or suffered heavy damage, we will give up our hands from Shandong. Otherwise, we can return to Shandong and stabilize the three-legged situation for a long time in the future."
Wanyan Talai said this very clearly. If you defeat him, everyone will be ruined together. All power and money have become a passing cloud, so you must fight hard in this battle.
"Will the reinforcements from Hebei arrive in time?" Liu Yu asked worriedly. He couldn't afford to lose. If he was defeated in this battle, he would have nothing to do, and life would be worse than death.
"I was about to say this." Wanyan Talan said, "The Tiger Lie Army and the Southeast Song Army have joined forces. Their strength is at least twice as strong as us, but they do not have an absolute advantage. In other words, the enemy is taking risks and they are not sure to eat us. They are also uneasy now." Wanyan Talan pointed to Puyang on the map, "Wanting is only more than 200 miles away from the Yellow River defense line. Our Hebei reinforcements can quickly go south to kill, so that the enemy will be trapped in the dilemma of being attacked from both sides."
"Zong Bi went south and brought 20,000 troops. Although these 20,000 troops were not large in number, they could restrain a large part of the enemy's strength, and put heavy pressure on the enemy, causing the situation to become more tense. Afterwards, in less than two or three days, the army of Daming Mansion would follow him, and my reinforcements would be at least 50,000." Wanyan Talai looked at everyone, and showed a hint of murderous aura on his face, "How many troops do the enemy need to call to stop our Hebei reinforcements? The enemy was attacked from both sides, and there were not enough troops to siege us. This battle would continue. It was nothing more than fighting for consumption. Whoever could persevere to the end would be the winner."
"So, the final result of this battle is unpredictable at present." Wanyan Tailan sneered, "For this, we have to make preparations."
"If we break through with the fastest speed, then the enemy will gain nothing and we will still occupy Shandong. But if we don't fight out, we have to hold on to Wanting for assistance. Then when the reinforcements in Hebei come, the battlefield will be in a stalemate. At this time, I hope the enemy will not give up, fight with us and fight hard to consume."
The result of the battle to consume is that both lose and lose, and the consequence of both lose and lose is that after the war is over, the enemy no longer has the strength to seize Shandong, and Shandong is still under the control of the Jin army.
"The war is in a stalemate, and both sides fight to consume it. This is the worst result, but it is also the most likely result." Wanyan Talan shook his head, "After you go back, tell your subordinates that this is a decisive battle. The life-and-death battle between us and the Southerners will be prepared for a long-term battle. This battle may be fought for a few days, or it may be fought for ten and a half months. At present, our food and grass stock is enough to support half a month to twenty days, which allows us to concentrate our efforts to fight the enemy. We have more than 70% chance of winning."
Yang Xunqing and others bowed to take the order and returned to their own formation.

On the second day of the lunar month, at noon, Datun.
Wang Yuan stood in front of the map, looking at the awakened target notation above, silent.
The two armies of Liu Guangshi and Lu Junyi have arrived at the attack position and are currently moving quickly towards Wanting. Song Jiang's 18th Army and 19th Army have also been in place and are following Liu Guangshi. Wang Gui's 10th Army and 11th Army have arrived at Datun and Malinggang, forming support for the front army. The six armies on the eastern route of the North Line have completed the deployment and can launch an attack on the Jin army.
"How is the battle on the west road?" Wang Yuan looked at the Sima Gao Xuanwu, who was hurriedly walking in, and asked anxiously.
"The Jin army has retreated to the area of Dahuang." Gao Xuanwu walked to the map and made marks, saying, "Wang De attacked successfully on the horse head, forcing the Jin army to retreat quickly, but Li Qiong's attack on Dahuang was stubbornly resisted by the Jin army." He looked down at the battle report in his hand, and then said, "At present, Wang De has killed Dahuang and met with Li Qiong."
"Where is the position of Kaifeng's army?"
"I have arrived at Matou and are moving forward rapidly towards Malinggang and Dahuang."
"Is there any news on the Western Front?"
"Lin Chong, Han Shizhong's attacks were sharp. An hour ago, they fought fiercely at Yanlou, and now they are probably in the Nanchang area."
"Where is the East Line?"
"Gao Baolong on the Eastern Front is confronting the Xi army, the main six major forces of the Jin army, and has not launched an attack yet."
Wang Yuan nodded, "There is no need for Baoshuai to attack for the time being. With his outstanding reputation and tens of thousands of elite soldiers under his command, it is enough to shock the Jin army."
"As long as the six Xi army was held back by Baoshuai, then the north-south attacks between Wang Ju and Xin Xingzong and Wang were enough to tear open the defense line of the Jin army and divide the Jin army into two." Gao Xuanwu became more and more excited as he spoke, and he was dancing.
Wang Yuan shook his head and said nothing. He knew the power of the Jin army. Wanyan Talan was a famous Jurchen general. If you fight such an opponent, it would be a lie to say that he was confident. He felt his heart beating violently and had a slight suffocation. However, another emotion firmly wrapped him, making him almost breathless, which was the desire to avenge. He and Yao Gu were surrounded by the Jin army in the Hulu River Battle and were almost wiped out. Although he finally broke out, Yao Gu was killed in battle and tens of thousands of soldiers died in battle. Wang Qi and his army who went to rescue were even killed and injured. This deep hatred was deeply imprinted in Wang Yuan's body and mind. Today, he finally had the opportunity to avenge him, and he avenged the dead Yao Gu, Wang Qi, Zhong Shizhong and all the soldiers who died in the northwest.
Familiar faces flashed through Wang Yuan's mind, and the pain that penetrated his bones was like a sharp sword stabbing into his body, making him unbearable.
"Then the order Liu Guangshi and Lu Junyi to speed up the march and launch an attack on the Jin army as soon as possible." Wang Yuan said coldly, "Tell them that they should tear open the Jin army's battle formation at any cost and let the subsequent army enter. A fatal blow to the Jin army."

A horse galloped over, and the horse knight lay on the back of the horse, shouting loudly, and the horse whip whipped hard on the horse's back, making a heart-pounding whistle. The war horse foamed in his mouth, and its huge body almost rose into the air, like a long arrow shot from the ground, swept into the camp like a whirlwind.
With a loud "boom", the war horse could no longer hold on. He fell to the ground with a loud bang. His sweaty body still flew out more than ten steps before stopping. The knight immediately hit the ground hard, rolling all the way, bleeding, but he gritted his teeth and stood up, stumbled towards the coach's tent.
Wang Yuan heard an unusual sound outside the tent and hurried out. When the knight saw Wang Yuan, he raised his hand and shouted, walked a few steps, and knelt down, "Leave the way, Jin army...Hebei Jin army..."
Wang Yuan was shocked, "Hebei Jin Army? Where are you? Where did you discover Hebei Jin Army?"
"Sixty miles, there are still sixty miles accordingly." The scout cringed and was out of breath. "The Jin army was extremely fast, with both people and horses, and they could approach our army soon."
"How many people? How many people are there?"
"It's estimated to be 20,000 or 30,000."
Wang Yuan was stunned for a moment, then suddenly turned around and rushed into the handsome tent, then rushed out, pointing to the scout who was lying on the ground and shouting to the stunned sergeant: "Take care for him and carry him down to rest."
After entering the commander's tent, Wang Yuan rushed to the map, looked carefully, estimated the distance, and immediately said to Gao Xuanwu who was standing behind him: "I ordered Zhang Xian, the tenth army, to advance to the north of Datun immediately, find a suitable position to set up a defensive battle formation. Block the Hebei Jin army going south."
"Say the 11th Army again Niu Gao. Please hurry to Datun, meet Zhang Xian, and block the Jin army."
"I urgently inform the Kaifeng army to speed up the speed of the journey and arrive at Datun immediately. Fast, be sure to be fast."
After a moment of pause, Wang Yuan suddenly turned around, his face was as cold as frost, and his murderous look on his face, which scared Gao Xuanwu.
"Tell Baoshuai that we discovered the Jin army going south to Hebei, and asked him to launch an attack immediately. Be sure to hold back the six Xi troops and adjust the deployment and win time."
"For Lin Chong, Han Shizhong, Wang De, and Li Qiong News, please keep the attack and be sure to drag the main force of the Jin army on the battlefield to prevent the Jin army from breaking out in the direction of Hebei."
"Order Song Jiang to lead the 18th Army, and the 19th Army will immediately meet Liu Guangshi and Lu Junyi and set up a formation on the spot. The Jin army will definitely break through to Hebei. Please be sure to block the Jin army and never let the Jin army break through our siege."
Gao Xuanwu quickly wrote an order and sent someone to convey it quickly.
"Stay at the back, are you urgently suing the Chief Commander?" Gao Xuanwu saw Wang Yuan looking at the map with all his attention and whispered.
"Of course." Wang Yuan glared at him, "Of course I have to sue the Chief Minister in a hurry. Didn't I just say that, you didn't remember it?"
Gao Xuanwu smiled bitterly, not easy to defend himself, "How could the Jin army in Hebei suddenly come? Did the Jin army have discovered our intention in advance?"
"I'm just worried about this." Wang Yuan nodded slightly, "We set a trap for the Jin army, but if the Jin army knew that it was a trap and had a plan, then it would be unknown who would kill him next."
Gao Xuanwu immediately changed color, "How is this possible?"
