The Song army pretended to be Tian Biao and went out to rob the camp. The defeated army swindled and opened the gate of Gaizhou City.

By the time Niu Wenzhong realized something was wrong, it was too late.

The two sides first fought at the city gate to compete for the city gate.

The Jin army was defeated, and the city gate was taken by the Song army.

Niu Wenzhong led the Jin army to fight the Song army again.

Relying on the advantage of thunder, Niu Wenzhong fought for the retreat time for the soldiers of the Jin army in Gaizhou City, while fighting and retreating.

At the same time, Niu Wenzhong sent someone to hurry up and inform Tian Hu to prepare early.

After receiving the news from Niu Wenzhong, Tian Hu was like a thunderclap!
Gaizhou City is broken!
The life and death of his third brother Tian Bao is unknown!
After recovering, Tian Hu hurriedly called Fang Xuedu to discuss countermeasures.

Fang Xuedu soon came to Jinwang Palace.

Hearing Tian Hu say that Gaizhou City was lost, Fang Xuedu also found it difficult.

After thinking for a while, Fang Xuedu said: "Here, the Song army will definitely divide up to surround Weisheng."

Tian Hu said: "How to divide the troops?"

Fang Xuedu said: "We must go all the way to Huguan and all the way to Jinning Mansion. If these two places can be defended, we can also protect our victory."

Tian Hu said: "Huguan has a favorable location, I don't worry, the original guard of Jinning Mansion was San Lang, now his life and death are uncertain, there is only one Wang Yuan, how can we guard it?"

Fang Xuedu said: "If you can't defend it, you have to defend it. If King Wang and Fang Shenggong send reinforcements, the only way is to cross the Yellow Sea and enter from Jinning Mansion along the canal. If Jinning Mansion is lost, even if King Wang and Fang Shenggong send reinforcements. If you come to help the army, you will not be able to save me from the Jin Dynasty." ——Tian Hu's territory is dangerous, which certainly has the advantage of being easy to defend and difficult to attack, but it also has the disadvantage of being difficult to rescue. Now that Gaizhou has been lost, if you want to rescue Tian Hu from the south Therefore, as Fang Xuedu said, if Jinning Mansion is lost, Wang Qing and Fang La can't save Tian Hu even if they want to. They can't make a big detour. Come back around and come in from the heavily guarded Taiyuan Mansion to rescue Tianhu, right?
After listening to Fang Xuedu's analysis, Tian Hu said: "Yes, yes, Jinning Mansion can't be lost, send [-], no, send [-] troops to help Jinning Mansion!"

Fang Xuedu said: "Too many soldiers is useless, the key is who will lead the soldiers to rescue?"

Tian Hu asked: "Who does the Taiwei think can take on this important task?"

Fang Xuedu thought for a while, and said, "Uncle Jiao Guo, go, he is the only one who can take on this important task."

Tian Hu said: "Ulidan?"

Fang Xuedu nodded, and said: "Uncle Guo is highly skilled in martial arts and knows the art of war. His general Ru Tingqi is one of the most powerful generals in our Jin Dynasty. If he can't even defend the Jinning Mansion, others will not be able to."

Tian Hu said: "Okay, let Wu Li De'an lead the troops to rescue the Jinning Mansion, and tell him to guard me until the reinforcements arrive no matter what!"

Fang Xuedu hesitated for a moment, and said: "My lord, it has been more than 40 days now, and there is still no movement from King Wang and Fang Shenggong. Will they not come to rescue us?"

Tian Hu's expression froze, but soon he said confidently: "No, we have sworn that if we don't send an army to rescue, we will die by a thousand swords. If they don't come to rescue me, he will Will they be escorted to Beijing to be punished by the Ling Chi?"

Tian Hu has already said such things, what else can Fang Xuedu say?

Fang Xuedu quickly went to Wu Li De'an and asked him to lead troops to rescue Jinning Mansion.

Not long after Fang Xuedu went out, the second king Tian Bao and the head of state Fan Quan came in hand in hand.

Tian Hu couldn't wait to ask: "What do the rulers of Xixia and Liao say?"

Tian Bao said: "The Lord of Xixia has no ambitions, and is not interested in your proposal at all, brother. From my perspective, Xixia is completely recuperating, and has no intention of expanding the territory."

Fan Quan said: "The Lord of Liao is very ambitious, but he has great ambitions and lack of talent, so he was beaten to pieces by the Lord of Gold. Now the Lord of Gold is personally leading an army to attack Liao. When I came back, I heard that the army of the Kingdom of Jin was about to attack the capital of Liao. No time, how can you take care of me."

Tian Hu said: "Then why don't you contact Jin Guo directly?"

Fan Quan said: "I also have this intention, but after all, the Kingdom of Jin has not won yet, and the Liao Kingdom has hundreds of thousands of troops standing in front of us. Even if we can make contact, it will not be able to quench our thirst."

After hearing this, Tian Hu looked up to the sky and sighed, "Could it be that the sky wants to kill me, Tian Hu?"

Tian Bao said: "Isn't there Wang Qing and Fang La's reinforcements?"

"Hey!"

Tian Hu sighed and said: "These two are not honest people, and there has been no movement for more than 40 days. I am afraid that the two of them never thought of saving me."

Fan Quan said, "What about the governor?"

Tian Hu said: "I regret that I didn't listen to Li Yan's suggestion that the four families jointly attack Song and evil Li Yan, and ended up with no one to rescue me today."

Tian Bao and Fan Quan were silent at the same time.

After thinking for a while, Tian Hu said again: "For the current plan, we can only put the treasure on top of the Liao and Jin countries. Zhang, you go to the Liao country again and wait for the opportunity. If you can do it for me If Jin finds a way out, I will make your daughter my queen."

Although he had his own plans in mind, Fan Quan said immediately, "Yes."

……

Let's talk about Niu Wenzhong.

After the city was broken, Niu Wenzhong led people to fight in the streets for a few days, but he couldn't hold on any longer, especially after the Song Army got a lot of flying thunder cannons. Retreat in the direction of Jinning Mansion - Niu Wenzhong is still very clear-headed, knowing that Huguan is not easy to be breached, so he led people to retreat to Jinning Mansion to help defend.

Veteran Wang Huan, old and strong, led his Ma Jun to hang behind Niu Wenzhong's buttocks all the way, causing Niu Wenzhong to escape to Jinning Mansion with only six or seven thousand remnants of defeated generals.

As soon as Niu Wenzhong entered the city on his front foot, Wang Huan arrived on his back foot, and then Xu Jing and other Jiu Jiedu also brought their horse army to catch up.

Seeing that Niu Wenzhong had withdrawn into the city, several veterans not only ordered to bury the pot and make a meal without hesitation.

After eating and drinking enough, all the soldiers of the Song Army took turns to rest.

Niu Wenzhong and Wang Yuan, the general guard of the Jinning Mansion, were scared out of their wits, how could they dare to come out and fight again?
Under Wang Yuan's arrangement, Niu Wenzhong, who was already hungry and exhausted, and his defeated soldiers ate something hastily and went to rest.

At [-] o'clock in the middle of the night, Niu Wenzhong was suddenly awakened by shouts of killing.

Before Niu Wenzhong asked, someone shouted: "The city gate is broken, run for your life!"

Niu Wenzhong jumped up, put on his clothes indiscriminately, and rushed out with a knife.

Seeing the chaos outside, Niu Wenzhong slashed at the two of them with a knife in his hand, frightened the others, and then said: "Listen to my order, form a team!"

Seeing that Niu Wenzhong was so ruthless, they all gathered together regardless of whether they were soldiers or not.

Niu Wenzhong gathered 2000 people all the way to the city gate.

Taking a closer look, the gates of the city are indeed wide open.

Niu Wenzhong felt a chill in his heart, "It's over, if the Jinning Mansion is broken, my Dajin will be in trouble!"
