Gao Baolong commanded the Bohai Army and the Palace Front Army to attack continuously. The Xi army fought back to death, and the two armies were entangled, and the battle was fierce.
Gao Baolong was neither anxious nor slow, and commanded calmly, while Wulihai complained and wanted to withdraw from the battlefield several times, but the opponent tried his best to linger and could not retreat. As time passed, the situation became more and more critical. The scouts rushed from all directions and told Wulihai that a large number of tiger and martyrs appeared in the north and south directions and west of the army, and the Xi army was surrounded.
Wu Lihai was shocked and hurriedly sent a team of troops to attack north, trying to contact Wanyan Talan, but the army quickly retreated, and they had no way to break through the blockade of the Tiger and Lieutenant Army.
At around six o'clock in the Yin hour, artillery rockets exploded continuously in the dark night sky, one after another. The various units of the Tiger and Lieutenant Army completed the division and encirclement of the Xi army and began to attack from all sides.
Wulihai and Xi Jun were in despair and struggled to support them. Waiting for Wanyan Talan to lead the army to help. However, Wanyan Talan had already made a decision to give up Xi Jun and break through with all his strength.

At four o'clock in the morning, the sky gradually became brighter.
In the tent of the General Office of the Ministry of Public Affairs, Yue Fei, Wang Yuan and a group of subordinates were excited. Good news came one by one, which made them feel like they were excited.
The map is full of labels, and the Tiger and Lieutenant Army has gained a decisive advantage. This battle has been won, and the rest is to encircle and annihilate all the surrounding enemies.
"If nothing unexpected happens, we can wipe out the Jin army at the latest tomorrow." Sun Ge was extremely excited, his voice was a little hoarse. "Based on Liu Lin's description of the Jin army's strength last night, we can guess that the Jin army surrounded by us now has less than 50,000." He pointed to the two red circles on the map and said in a very certain tone, "Tomorrow, we can end the battle."
"Is your guess accurate?" Wang Yuan smiled.
"Accurate, absolutely accurate." Sun Ge said without hesitation, "According to Liu Lin's confession, Shandong Jin army was 110,000, of which 50,000 were the main force of the Jin army, and 60,000 were the Shandong Han army. The Liu father and son had about 30,000 troops on the western front, all of which were Han army. Some Han army was on the southern front. They were led by Huo Shi, with about 15,000 people. There were still thousands of Han army in the large baggage camp of the Jin army. During the battle some time ago, the Jin army lost about 10,000 people, of which the Han army occupied the majority. Now the Liu father and son led the army to surrender, Huo Shi was defeated and fled, and the Jin army's large baggage camp was captured by us. The Han army could be said to be killed and injured."
"The main force of the Jin army has lost less than 50,000 after deducting the losses during this period. Among them, the Xi army was trapped by us on the battlefield on the Eastern Front. The Han and Fan army led by Wanyan Talan himself was trapped by us on the battlefield on the Northern Front. Even if the troops on both battlefields exceeded 20,000, it was still too disparity compared with our troops and was simply vulnerable."
"I heard you say that, we were already sure to win when the governor decided to surround the Shandong Jin army in Wanting." Wang Yuan smiled with a smile on his beard, "But I see that you are still nervous until midnight today."
Sun Ge smiled and didn't care about Wang Yuan's jokes. If the war was won, it would be fine to brag.

Huang Zong hurried in, "The chief minister, stayed at the back, Wang Shuai of the Northern Front urgently reported. The Jin army in Hebei is coming quickly."
Yue Fei and Wang Yuan looked at each other and smiled at each other without any nervousness. The Tiger Lieutenant Army had already secured the victory in the Wanting battlefield. The Hebei Jin army could no longer pose any threat to the Tiger Lieutenant Army. On the contrary, the Hebei Jin army is now running in a hurry and jumped into the trap, purely seeking death.
"Does the governor intend to set up another game to take advantage of the victory?" Wang Yuan's heart was moved and his appetite grew bigger and bigger.
"The Hebei Jin army was trapped last time, so we must be careful this time and will not fall into the same trap again." Yue Fei smiled and shook his hand, "Besides, we don't have time to set up a plan now. Let's call Liu Guangshi, Song Jiang, Lu Junyi and others to block it with all their strength."
"There is indeed no need to set traps this time." Sun Ge said from the side, "We will first solve the Jin army on the Wanting battlefield, and then go north to surround him and block him, kill him. If you are lucky, even if you cannot completely wipe out, you will be severely damaged."
"We have enough troops to surround the Jin army on the Wanting battlefield first, and at the same time mobilize some of the main forces to attack the Jin army in Hebei first." Wang Yuan's self-confidence was extremely inflated and he no longer took the Jin army seriously.
"The reason why Wanting's battle was such a result is first attributed to the surrender of Xin Xingzong and Wang De. If they hadn't brought 80,000 Southeast troops into the Wanting battlefield, it would be difficult for us to surround the Shandong Jin army. "Yue Fei thought for a moment and said his heart." With the strength of our Tiger and Lieutenant Army alone, even if the Liu father and son turned against each other in front of the formation, it would be impossible to completely wipe out the Shandong Jin army like today."
Yue Fei's words mean very simple. He wants to ensure the final victory. He doesn't want to make trouble. Although his morale is as strong as a rainbow and moves forward before this, when victory is already within his reach, he becomes conservative.
Wang Yuan wanted to persuade him again, but Yue Fei raised his hand to stop him, "The army fought continuously, from Yongqiu to Wanting, was already very tired, and the army suffered great losses, so it's better to be safe and solve the Shandong Jin army first. If there is a chance, then as Sun Sima said, we will all set up a large army, go north to chase him, and kill him."
Wang Yuan knew that Yue Fei had taken the heavy pressure and had been exhausted all the time. At this moment, victory was in sight, and probably his body and mind were relaxed and exhausted to the extreme, and his desire to fight was greatly reduced.
"Then let's follow the words of the governor." Wang Yuan didn't force it, "Tell Liu Guangshi and the others that the Wanting Battle is about to end. We strive to wipe out the enemy army as quickly as possible, and then go north and fight another victory, so as to inspire their morale and let them block the Hebei Jin army with all their might on the northern line."
Sun Ge immediately wrote an order.
"The overall situation is decided. I want to go to the front line to see it." Yue Fei stood up and smiled at Wang Yuan, "Are you going with the stay?"
"I want to comfort Liu Yu." Wang Yuan stood up and rubbed his cheeks hard, "When are you going to see him?"
"Let's go in a few days." Yue Fei said indifferently, "When the war is over, I will find a chance to see him once and ask him to accompany you to Shandong."

In the morning, Chen Shichu, the battlefield that fought fiercely in the middle of the night gradually became quiet.
The Tiger and Lieutenant Army needs rest in order to attack again, while the Jin army needs to rest even more, and at the same time seize the time to build defense. However, they have no reinforcements outside and no food inside, so they have reached the end of their journey. It is only a matter of time to lose. At this moment, whether it is Wanyan Talai, the commander of the Jin army on the North Line, or the commander of the Xi army on the East Line, Wulihai, and all the Jin army soldiers, have already reached the extreme despair. They are also like a dream. Suddenly, they wake up from their dreams and find that half of their feet has stepped into hell, an incredible thing.
When Yue Fei arrived at the front line, the commanders of the various army came to pay their respects. The overall situation was decided, and the generals were very excited and gathered together to laugh and laugh.
"The war has not been completed yet." Yue Fei signaled the generals to calm down, "The most urgent task is to wipe out the Jin army as soon as possible."
"The soldiers of the army fought for several days, and the soldiers were very tired. According to everyone's wishes, they wanted to take advantage of the victory, but everyone considered that the Jin army had no way out and had a dead end. Continuing to surround and kill now is equivalent to fighting against a group of evil wolves. This kind of life-threatening battle will surely cause us a lot of losses."
Yue Fei stopped and looked at the generals. Many people disagreed. The battle was too easy and they were naturally arrogant, so they could not take into account the lives of ordinary soldiers.
"After this battle, the army will rest for a day and go to the new battlefield immediately." Yue Fei continued, "The army will be divided into two, one will regain Shandong, and the other will go south to attack Jianghuai. Therefore, when we are sure to win, we cannot squander the lives of the soldiers and cannot let them make unnecessary sacrifices. We must preserve our strength and lead them to establish more merits and unify the entire Middle Earth."
"Master, just tell me, how to fight next?" Niu Gao shouted loudly.
"We firmly follow the command of the governor." Lin Chong also said.
Yue Fei smiled and nodded, "The Jin army had no food and grass, and it would not last for a few days, and then it naturally collapsed. Therefore, I ask you to firmly surround the Jin army and not give them any chance to break through, and trap them until they collapse."
"Hebei Jin army has come with support." Wang Yu spoke at this time, "Did the governor consider mobilizing some main forces to go north to surround the Jin army while surrounding the trapped Jin army?"
"This plan can only be used once, and it will not work if it is used again, and it may even scare them away." Yue Fei smiled, "We will continue to surround the Shandong Jin army in Wanting, so that we can hold back the Hebei Jin army. When the war here is over, all the armies will head north at the same time, which is very likely to cause severe damage to the enemy."
Wang Ju felt that Yue Fei was too cautious, and a large group of generals in the tent also felt that Yue Fei had suddenly lost his invincible spirit, so he made suggestions and tried his best to persuade Yue Fei to attack the Jin army in Hebei again.
Yue Fei firmly refused. At this moment, Wanyan Talan and Shandong Jin army were like beasts in cages. If they were negligent, something would happen. Yue Fei therefore asked the commanders of each army to concentrate on siege and kill the enemy in order to win the final victory of the Wanting Battle.

As Yue Fei expected, Wanyan Talan and Wulihai each commanded their troops to break through the siege. They had no food and grass, and the longer they were trapped, the smaller the possibility of breaking through, so there was only one way to break through.
On the seventh day of the lunar month, Zong Fu led his army to fight for a day, but was blocked by the Tiger and Lieutenant Army and did not advance in an instant. That night, the Jin army scout rescued several deserters, and thus knew that the situation in Wanting had undergone amazing changes. Wanyan Talan and Shandong Jin army were already desperate and were about to lose.
