Under the dragon banner, Zhao Jiu held up the helmet he had just put on, looking down at the battle situation below the mountain, but he did not move, and watched with almost no reaction as Lou Shi displayed his divine power and easily crushed Jiao Wentong and the foreign cavalry that should be led by Li Yongqi.

It's not that he doesn't want to react, nor is it that he is calm inside.

How could he not be moved when he invested all his manpower and material resources and spent a lot of effort to build up the elite imperial camp army, and the loyal ministers from the border areas who were willing to travel to Western Xia to return home to help in the war, just disappeared on the battlefield like waves.

But he was touched and didn't know how to react, or what kind of reaction he could make... Wu Jie was still at the foot of the mountain. Unless even the Grand Marshal Wu was defeated, it would not be the turn of him, the emperor, to command in person.

At this moment, from a rational point of view, what he, the emperor, should do most is to sit under the dragon banner like a puppet and give everyone reasons and courage to continue fighting.

This is what the Art of War says: Stand still like a mountain! But that’s all.

However, the Loushi Central Army, which had easily defeated the two routes of the Song army, headed towards the Qinfeng Road troops again, and at this time the Qinfeng Road troops were already in great danger.

Zhao Jiu was high up on the mountain and could see things more clearly than anyone else. Just as Li Yongqi was defeated by one blow, the two Jurchen Iron Pagodas had also succeeded at the same time... While they were inserting between Xihe Road and Qinfeng Road, they simply launched a successful surprise attack on Qinfeng Road's weak belly.

In fact, if Wu Jie had not successfully formed a battle array in the rear and used his own troops as the supervisory team, Qin Fenglu would have collapsed directly.

"Marshal! My general requests support for our flank!" After being defeated for the second time, Qiao Ze came to Wu Jie and asked for help.

"Why are you the one asking for help?" Wu Jie, who had managed to set up his formation with his back to the main camp, was already dry-mouthed, but he tried to remain calm.

"The military commander Murong Wei was killed in the raid just now. Our troops were scattered just as they came forward to support us. Whoever Zhao Jinglue finds will be the one..." It would have been better if he hadn't asked. When he asked, Qiao Ze almost cried. "Lou Shi is back again. Marshal, please give us support as soon as possible!"

"I understand." Wu Jie continued to pretend to be calm. "Go back and tell Zhao Zhe that if the Jin army comes from your left this time, along the iron pagoda that attacked the central army, I will immediately send the entire central army to attack from your left...without hesitation! But I have to wait until Lou Shi decides on the direction of attack! Do you understand? Let him hold on!"

Qiao Ze felt relieved. Without saying anything, he jumped on his horse and led a few riders back to the front formation.

Lou Shi turned back to the front of the Qinfeng Road formation and changed his formation as expected, but gave up the frontal attack and directly followed Hezhamengan who had already succeeded to break into the Song army formation... However, he did not turn in from the northeast side where the Qinfeng Road army was gaped as Wu Jie imagined, but actually rushed in from the gap between Qinfeng Road and Xihe Road, following another Hezhamengan and Gu Wulibu's troops!

Rushed in regardless of everything!

Wu Jie was watching this scene on his warhorse. Instead of being frightened, he was ecstatic... Because he realized the problem almost instantly. Lou Shi thought that there were only two armies, Qinfeng and Xihe, in front of the camp, and they did not take his troops seriously, so he wanted to resolve the entire battle in one fell swoop!

However, the two Beiwei troops behind him, hiding behind the two large armies, are the real strong forces and the main force!

This is the opportunity!

"Lou Shi wants to end the battle in one fell swoop!" Qu Duan looked over there and laughed grimly. "He wants to rescue Wanyan Wushu! He also wants to defeat the troops of Qinfeng Road and Xihe Road in one fell swoop! What a big appetite! "

"Look!" A general beside Qu Duan, named Zhang Zhongyan, calmly pointed to the southeast of the plateau. There was smoke and dust rolling over there. At least two armies of several thousand people were rushing in. One was faster but in the back, and the other was slower but in the front. "This direction must be the troops of General Han. Lou Shi must have been forced into a desperate situation... Although Li Yongqi was defeated very quickly just now, it also wasted too much time and energy for Lou Shi. He was afraid that General Han's troops would rush in and trap him from front and back together with the army in front of the camp. He was also afraid that General Han's subordinates would directly go to the plateau to end the decisive battle on the plateau..."

"What a bullshit decisive battle on the plateau!" Qu Duan cursed. He had left Luoyang early to go to northern Shaanxi to gather troops, and he also didn't know about the existence of the two Beiwei armies. "What's the point of fighting on the plateau at this time? What if the outcome is unclear and Loushi defeats the useless people in Qinfeng Road and Xihe Road and drives the defeated soldiers into the big camp? Then everything will be useless! The government is above!"

"That……"

"You go!" Qu Duan pointed his finger and gave the order without hesitation. "Go and warn Han Wu, the emperor is here, Lou Shi is here! Don't go up to the plateau! Wait for him to come over, and then go to my flag for support!"

Zhang Zhongyan said nothing, lowered his head and left.

After Zhang Zhongyan left, his brother Zhang Zhongfu came forward again and asked: "General...what should we do? The foreign soldiers said they saw Li Yongqi die with their own eyes, but Li Shifu is still alive, crying over there, and he wants to take people to the battlefield just now to look for his father's body...Should we help him gather the defeated soldiers first?"

"What's the point of a child crying because his father died? And Li Yongqi is also a waste!" Qu Duan was extremely angry, but suddenly calmed down. "But Li Yongqi's death was not in vain. The fighting power of Loushi's subordinates is really strong, but we can't delay..."

Zhang Zhongfu stared at his old boss, puzzled for a moment: "And then?"

"Raise my flag and gather the remaining soldiers and horses, as many as you can... Follow me to take out the Lou Room!" Qu Duan answered calmly.

Zhang Zhongfu was stunned for a moment: "General, we came south to support in a hurry, so we can only gather cavalry. Apart from Li Yongqi's 4,000 foreign cavalry, the rest are just over a thousand cavalry gathered from two routes... Just now, more than 3,000 foreign cavalry were useless, and now we have less than a thousand cavalry. Can they be useful?"
