Chapter 1539

"...What do you think?" After analyzing, Zhe Kexing's eyes fell on the generals and asked.

"I think there is no better way than this." Ning Da nodded heavily and answered first.

"But the last general thinks that during the march, we can let our imperial artillery soldiers in the marching order, in units of capital (ten artillery pieces), and we can provide fire support to the robes in time no matter where the enemy comes from."

Zhe Kexing smiled with satisfaction and nodded slightly. "Since that's the case, we should continue to move forward as the sky is still going, and before it gets dark, we will rush to camp at the foot of the Bison Mountains, rest for a night, and head west along the mountains early tomorrow morning."

"No!" The generals and schools took the order with stern apology.

After hearing the military order from Zhe Kexing, all the generals and schools were overjoyed and quickly ordered the soldiers who were preparing to camp to cheer up and continue to move forward. While letting the soldiers know the good news that the Southern Army had already captured Ningbian Prefecture, which was the pass of Northern Liao, and inspiring morale.

I have to say that this trick is really useful. After hearing that Ningbianzhou was razed to the ground by the mortars in less than an hour.

Then the power of the Yuanyou Divine Power Cannon, which is far larger and heavier than the mortar, can naturally be imagined. Think about it, the Battle of Liaodong, three hundred cannons directly blow the 100,000 elite troops of the Northern Liao Dynasty into dogs.

The defenders inside the Jin Su army were probably not even five thousand, but they had hundreds of Yuanyou divine cannons on their side. If they could not defeat the Jin Su army, wouldn’t they say that their Western army in the Song Dynasty were not as good as those who went to Liaodong to fight?

With the double motivation of dissatisfaction and good news, the army walked more vigorously and quickly this time. When it was dark, it finally arrived at the foot of the Bison Mountains to camp.

Just two hours before Zhe Kexing received the news, Jin Su's army had already ushered in a group of defeated soldiers who were in a mess.

Xiao Meebao, the commander of the Jin Su army, who received the news, immediately rushed out of the city and intercepted the remnant soldier thirty miles away from the Jin Su army.

"You mean, the Song army landed in the morning yesterday, and in less than half an hour later, you lost Ningbianzhou, which I, the Great Liao, had worked hard from the Song people, and had been operating for a hundred years?!"

In the temporary military tent, Xiao Meebao, the commander of Jin Su army, widened his eyes and looked at the panting and frightened Ningbian Prefecture commander Yelu Gongduo, shouting sternly.

"Do you think you're willing?" He drank the hot soup in front of him and wiped his mouth. Yelu Gondo patted his legs in frustration.

"Do you know, the Song people transported two hundred Yuanyou divine power cannons from where they were transported. Although they were not as huge as the rumors, they still sounded like thunder, and it was easy to destroy cities and villages.

Do you know that after two rounds of artillery bombardment, the entire Ningbian Prefecture caught fire everywhere. If we had not withdrawn in time, we would have been burned to ashes in Ningbian Prefecture at this time."

"Two hundred gates..." Jin Sujun commander Xiao Meebao still widened his eyes, but this time the eyes were no longer angry, but fear.

"Are you sure it's two hundred doors?"

Yelu Gundo finally found enough reasons for his own devastation and cowardice, and said with great sarcasm. "Nonsense, otherwise you think that brother, I have thousands of warriors under my command, why would I lose so badly and so quickly?!"

"Hasn't my Daliao River East Road been in peace with the Song people in the past few years? Why did they suddenly become so murderous?" Xiao Meebao, the head coach of Jin Su Army, took a deep breath and sat back in surprise.

"You are safe? Lord Mee Bao, you are joking with me, right? Is it because there have been frequent wars in Liaodong in the past two years, and you don't know who I, Daliao, fight with?"

"Enough! Now is not the time for you and me to argue. If you lose such a dangerous pass as Ningbian Prefecture, it is a serious crime. General Gongdo, you'd better tell me carefully how those Song people fought.

If we can find the other party’s flaws, then maybe we can still have the chance to retake Ningbian Prefecture. Otherwise, if they continue to come north, if I am led by you, don’t blame me for impeaching you to Your Majesty.”

Yelu Gongduo opened his mouth and saw Xiao Meipao's murderous look, he could only nod helplessly and recounted how yesterday's battle happened and how it ended.

"According to this, before the Yuanyou Shenwei cannon of the Song army was launched, it must be assembled like a catapult before it can be launched, right? As for those iron pipe soldiers, they also need to be arranged neatly to kill the enemy with a dense force..." Xiao Meebao narrowed his eyes and listened, while thinking about how to deal with it.

"General, General..." Just as the two were discussing how to deal with the Song army with a group of generals, a Liao Dynasty scout cavalry with an anxious expression and sweating profusely rushed to the military tent, quickly stepped inside and fell to the ground.

"There is news from the east that a Song army has crossed the Yellow River and is heading towards the west. It is very likely that the other party is coming for me, Jin Su's army."

"What?!" Xiao Meebao and Yelu Gundo jumped up in an orderly manner, looked at each other, and saw the look of fear in each other's eyes.

"Song Gou wants to do what he wants to take down my Daliao River East Road in one fell swoop. Let me quickly find out how many soldiers and horses the Song army has and who is under the banner of whom."

Seeing that the scout was about to leave, Yelu Gundo quickly shouted. "Slowly, you must find out. This Song army has Yuanyou divine cannon, the number of it, and the new Song army soldiers carrying long iron pipes."

"This, if this happens, it is very easy to be detected by the Song people." The detective cavalry couldn't help but feel embarrassed.

Yelu Gundo glared at him and shouted, "So what if I find out? This is the territory of my Great Liao. Besides, if you don't find out clearly, the one who suffers at that time will be the warriors of our Great Liao."

Xiao Mee nodded after funnying his head, "It's reasonable, you go quickly, send more people, be sure to find out."

#####

More than an hour later, Xiao Pingshun, the head of the Yi tribe, hurriedly led the three thousand warriors of the Yi tribe here, and met Xiao Meebao and Yelu Gongdu who had been waiting for his arrival here.

At this point, I have to mention that the Khitans in the Great Liao Kingdom only have two surnames, one is the Yelu family and the other is the Xiao family.

Anyone who is not these two surnames is not the Khitan tribe. Here we have to mention the operation of the founding emperor of the Northern Liao Dynasty, Yelu Abaoji, led to the entire Khitan tribe in the Northern Liao Dynasty.

The Yelu surname originated from the residence of the Yelu Abaoji family, Taizu of Liao. Long before the founding of the Great Liao Kingdom, the Khitan established the Yaonian clan as the Khan, and the center of power was the eight-department group headed by the Yaonian clan.
