On the night of 3 August, Zhu Tong convened an emergency meeting of the principal generals overnight.

Suo Chao said: "The current situation is too dangerous, why don't I take the lead and kill everyone together." ”

Zhu Tong shook his head: "The gold thief is cunning, he will definitely set up an ambush on the other side of the plain, and if we rush to kill it, we will throw ourselves into the net." ”

Jin Bing is not familiar with the terrain here, and in order to get rid of the current crisis, he must use his own strengths to attack the enemy's shortcomings.

Duan Jinzhu said: "The small one is familiar with the terrain in this area, as long as the surrounding mountains are occupied, the gold thief will not be able to enter for a while." ”

Zhu Tong said: "Then occupy the mountain first." "The Song army took the capital as a unit and occupied the Fat Pig Mountain, the Aphid Mountain, the Jiu Mountain, the Hengshan Mountain, and the Phoenix Mountain; and seize the commanding heights north and east of Lufang. The Defense Division is located in Xiao'anjialin, southeast of Fat Pig Mountain. In accordance with their assigned tasks, the units seized favorable terrain and quickly prepared for battle.

The next morning, the sky was just dawning, and the morning mist was everywhere in the mountains. Suddenly, the golden soldier let out a sudden cry in the morning mist, and then launched a fierce attack.

According to the officer's instructions, the Song army hid in the morning mist, and the black and oppressive Jin soldiers swarmed towards the Fat Pig Mountain. The head of the capital, Ou Peng, wittily hid beside the rocks on the edge of the cliff, staring angrily at the approaching Jin soldiers. The golden soldier got closer and closer, he drew his bow and arrows, and shouted: "Go! With a "whoosh", a golden soldier officer rolled down the hillside, and the war knife was thrown several meters away.

Before Jin Bing could figure out what was going on, a shout of killing erupted from the mountain. The soldiers leaped out of the rocks, behind the trees, and through the cliffs, slashing and stabbing their guns. Suddenly, the Jin soldiers were beaten like they had poured a basket of potatoes from the top of the mountain, and they rolled down the mountain one after another.

"Good! Well played! Suo Chao supervised the formation on the top of the mountain, he saw Ou Peng's performance, and said to Deng Fei, the deputy general next to him: "Golden-winged Dapeng, it is really fierce." ”

Deng Fei smiled slightly: "When it comes to the decisive victory, we are looking at our family's ability." ”

The Jin soldiers charged to the mountain many times without success, so they divided their troops and frantically outflanked the fat pig mountain from the foot of the mountain. There were many Jin soldiers and few Song troops, and the Song army could only concentrate their forces to rush all the way.

Suo Chao couldn't help but mention his big axe, Deng Fei said: "I haven't waited for the group to practice the horse, and I will see the ability of the family to be fierce." ”

He led a team of thirty people, all armed with short blades and light armor, and saw the golden soldiers all the way, rushed down the mountain, and killed the golden soldiers at the head, and the golden soldiers scattered and fled.

According to this method, Deng Fei's troops did not seek annihilation of the attacking Jin soldiers, but only tried to defeat them, which bought time for Ou Peng.

But there are too many Jin soldiers, and Ou Peng's subordinates can often only adopt the same way to stop the enemy, and there are only more than 40 people left under his command.

The Jin soldiers attacked all morning, but there was no progress at all. However, the Jin soldiers found that their tactics were wrong, and at noon, they changed their tactics from attacking in turn to charging in groups.

Jin Bing didn't know where to go, but he found a few peasant, and the stones flew up the mountain from all directions, until the rocks bloomed and the trees flew sideways. In a few moments, the woods at the top of the hill were heavily discounted.

"Nanban broke his courage."

Jin Bingman thought that the Song army had been flattened by his wandering stones, so he took the stone bridge as the main breakthrough point and flocked to the stone bridge in groups.

But when Jin Bing approached the stone bridge, he found that a large box was placed firmly on the stone bridge.

"A group of tigers are running arrows." As a result, more than 30 Jin soldiers were killed. Jin Bing did not stop there, and rushed to the bridgehead in turn. In the end, there was only one soldier left, Suo Chao was about to order Deng Fei to bring people to reinforcements, but he saw that the soldier was holding two grenades and rushed into the queue of the golden soldiers, and the grenades exploded, disrupting the charging formation of the golden soldiers.

At the same time, fighting was raging on other hills.

The Song army on Hatoyama fought very bravely and tenaciously. One of them was wounded in the head, but with amazing perseverance, he stabbed 3 gold soldiers to death in a row. Before his seven-foot spear could be pulled out of the enemy's belly, another Jurchen soldier's spear stabbed at him. The instructor of the 7th Company was in a hurry, and quickly flashed his body, causing the Jurchen soldiers to pounce. He lunged over and flipped his opponent to the ground, punching, gritting his teeth, and scuffling together. When they rolled to the edge of the cliff, they all lost their energy, and the Jurchen soldier had the upper hand for a while. At this critical moment, they all exerted all their strength, hugged each other and rolled off the cliff, and died with the enemy.

From morning to noon, the Song troops of the Taixi Defense Division did not enter a drop of water. But because the situation is very dangerous, people can't care about so much, and everyone has only one belief in their hearts, that is, to repel the attack of the Jin soldiers.

In the afternoon, the Jin soldiers divided into two routes. All the way to the undulating area of the west of the mountain, in an attempt to occupy the gateway to the Lufang; All the way to attack from the front in the direction of Wo Niu Stone.

The Jin soldiers on the west side of the mountain did not advance far, and an assault team of the Song army bit it. At this time, another Song army came out from behind the mountain, rushed into the ranks of the Jin soldiers, and knocked the Jin soldiers down. Under the threat of his Puliyan sword, the retreating Jin soldiers joined up with the Jin soldiers who were attacking Woniu Rock, and howled and rushed towards the Aphid Mountain position.

In the face of the golden soldiers who have a multi-fold advantage in numbers, the selected warriors are fearless. They fought back, and the more they fought, the more courageous they became. A burly and sturdy Wang Tiezhu, who suddenly stripped off his shirt and bare his steely chest, stood on a rock, grabbed five bundles of grenades and threw them at the enemy group.

"Grenadier! Give me the grenade. He shouted as he threw himself. The grenades handed by his comrades-in-arms, no matter how many, his eyes widened, his teeth were bitten, and his arms waved, and the grenades flew towards the enemy as if they had eyes, blowing up the flesh and blood of the golden soldiers. Just as Wang Tiezhu was throwing hard, a feather arrow hit him in the chest, and suddenly, blood flowed like a stream. I saw him shake his body, holding the shaft of an arrow in his left hand, and holding a bundle of grenades with strings in his right hand, and shouting in a weak voice: "Come on, little rabbit!" "With the last of his strength, he threw the grenade at the enemy. Then the valiant chief fell.

During the fierce battle at Aphid Mountain, Zhu Tong's direct team, which was stuck to the north and east of Lufang, also defeated the many attacks of the Jin soldiers. Zhu Tong led the cavalry to take the initiative to attack and attacked most of the signing army in Anlin, northeast of Lufang, and drove thousands of people to pieces.

In this day's battle, more than 200 Jin soldiers once broke through the junction between Suo Chao and Zhu Tong and approached the edge of Lufang Village. The assault teams of these two forces worked closely together and launched a brave counterattack to repel the intrusive enemy.

The sun finally set in the western mountains, and dusk came. Although people love the sun and yearn for light, at this moment, only darkness can bring hope to the besieged Song army. After discussing with other leaders, Zhu Tong decided: to break through that night.

Night fell. The cunning Jin soldiers sent heavy troops to guard the commanding heights of the land house and ignited piles of fires. Outside the firelight, sentries in leather armor and armed with spears patrolled back and forth. The Jin soldiers tried to prevent the Song army from coming down the mountain and continued the attack tomorrow.

At this time, a sentry came to report to the command that there was no fire in one direction.

"Suo Tuanlian, you see, there's no fire over there." Zhu Tong pointed to the dark place in the southeast direction and said.

Suo Chao looked in that direction, jumped up in surprise, and then scratched his head

There is a big road to the southeast, why is there no fortification? Was it the enemy's negligence? No!

The high turtle is more cunning than a fox. Suo Chao thought of this and said, "Trap! It's a trap! ”

"Yes!" Zhu Tong continued, "The gold thieves tried to let us go down this road and fall into their ambush. ”

As he spoke, several sentinels escorted an old man here.

"Caught a spy."

The old man was unhurried: "Why do you say I'm a spy?" ”

"The golden soldiers are surrounded here, and mosquitoes can't fly in, how can you get into the mountains with a handful of old bones?"

Zhu Tong said: "The old man speaks, and he is very angry." ”

The old man laughed, and suddenly lifted his beard, revealing a young face: "But Zhu Thorn History? Liangshan and Yute asked me to meet you. ”

Did Song Jiang ask him to come? He hurriedly exchanged a few words with the comer, and the other party did not show any flaws. Zhu Tong was a little convinced.

The person who came was Shi Xiu, Zhu Tong arrived in Yuncheng, he was going out, and he didn't see Zhu Tong. Knowing that the Hebei Xuanfu Division had sent someone to come, he chased him over to meet him. is encountering a large-scale attack by the Jin soldiers.

Shi Xiu did not go to meet Zhu Tong, but observed on the periphery, treating himself as an ambush all the way.

Today's battle is becoming more and more intense, and he knows that Song Jun has just arrived here, and he must be unfamiliar with life. Therefore, from the morning, he wanted to run to the side of the Song army, but the Jin soldiers blocked it very tightly, and it was not until the evening that he touched it.

Shi Xiu signed up for the number, Zhu Tong and Suo Chao were really overjoyed when they heard it, and said to him: "Jiu Yang desperately San Lang Daming, we came at the right time, we are looking for a guide!" ”

Shi Xiu said: "That's what I'm here for." Then he pointed with his hand: "There is a path over there that allows you to climb to the top of the mountain." The old man paused for a moment and then said, "It is that the southwest side is hot, and the road of the eagle's beak is difficult to walk, and it is too close to the enemy." ”

"It doesn't matter. As long as you can show us the way. We reckon that the south-west side would be so heavy that the enemy's defenses would be so empty that the enemy would never have thought that we would burrow from his fire. ”

Zhu Tong gave an order: "Immediately travel lightly and break through quietly!" ”

Zhu Tong and Suo Chao briefly mobilized the troops in the ravine of the dustpan, asking the non-combatants to carry the wounded in the middle, and when encountering a situation, they were not allowed to speak out until they had to do so. Then, everyone started a tense breakout preparation. The men used ropes and straw to cushion the cooking utensils, the cavalry wrapped the horse's hooves in cotton cloth, the lieutenants checked the soldiers' clothing and weapons one by one, and the regiment also sent a small detachment to confuse the golden soldiers.

Seeing that it was almost time, the besieged Tessie Defense Division began to break through. In the process of breaking through, all units are required to fight hard and resolutely rush out if they are blocked by the Jin soldiers. For Song Jun, perhaps this is the last chance. When the dawn comes, there will be more evil and less auspicious.
