Looking at the densely packed Song army camps outside the city, General Jin, Yelu Yinshu, was in a panic.

Your Highness, the Song army doesn't seem to be here to resolve the issue...

Jin Wuzhu, maintaining a calm demeanor, said: "Our two countries are currently in a ceasefire. I believe they wouldn't dare to launch an attack."

However, Cao Guo showed no intention of negotiating at all. He didn't even send an envoy. As soon as all the troops arrived at their designated positions, he immediately launched an attack.

Jin Wuzhu cursed the Song people on the city walls for being untrustworthy, while Cao Guo remained silent on the surface but took note of Jin Wuzhu's behavior.

Jin Wuzhu's hundred thousand army was scattered around, not yet assembled. They never expected the Song army to strike as soon as they said they would, causing their defense to crumble.

Cao Guo left Han Shizhong in command of the main army and gave thirty thousand cavalry to Yue Fei. He himself led three thousand tiger and leopard cavalry and issued a command: "Speed is of the essence! No prisoners, no plunder. Chase wherever Jin Wuzhu flees. Don't wait for the Jin forces to stabilize and organize their defenses. You must penetrate like a sharp knife, forcing him into the rear, pushing towards Kaifeng or Daming Prefecture, and then seize the opportunity for a decisive battle."

Meanwhile, Han Shizhong commanded the main army from the rear, capturing the cities and ensuring the safety of the supply route, while simultaneously surrounding the city of Kaifeng with the rest of the forces.

Be like a sharp knife!

Yue Fei's blood boiled as he led thirty thousand cavalry northward, chasing Jin Wuzhu, who was fleeing in despair.

Whenever Jin Wuzhu tried to hide behind high walls, Yue Fei would send troops to intercept, forcing him to continue his escape north.

Meanwhile, Cao Guo's three thousand tiger and leopard cavalry were engaged in an even bolder action...

They embarked on a long-distance raid, penetrating thousands of miles deep into the Jin territory, plundering their logistics and supplies, harassing isolated enemy forces along the way...
