The Yongding River is very wide and the river water is very muddy, and it can even be compared with the Yellow River. Therefore, the locals also call the Yongding River the Hun River or the small Yellow River. In fact, the real name of the Yongding River should be Wuding River. Because the river has large cement and sand and large flow, the river often migrates, leaving behind many old river channels. The name of Yongding River only carries the beautiful expectations of the local people.

"Little Yellow River? It looks like it really has the courage of the Yellow River. Although it is not as wide as the Yellow River, it is not so easy to cross." Liu Ping smiled while looking at the Yongding River in front of him. The first battle after sending troops was good. Although Guo Zun has not come back yet, the battle report has been sent back. His side is also very smooth. He will be able to come to meet with them in a few days, which has also made Liu Ping feel much more relaxed.

"General, please see, this is the flattest section of the Yongding River. In the past, there were floating bridges on the river surface, which could be used for vehicles and horses to pass through. However, a few days ago, the Liao army burned down and all the ships on the river surface were seized to the north shore by them. If we want to go there, we can only build the floating bridge again." At this time, a local person who was found introduced to Liu Ping.

When refusing Macheng, Cao Ma once met the Han assassin, but that was only a few, and most of them were middle and senior officials of the Han people. They used the Khitans to exploit their own tribes and thus became profiteers of the Liao Kingdom. Now, facing the arrival of the Song army, they are naturally very resistant, but most of the remaining Han people do not care about who the rulers are. There are even a few people who are already interested in the Song Dynasty, such as Zhao Anren, who Li Zhang knew.

Liu Ping, Cao Ma and others also raised their telescopes and looked at the Yongding River in front of them, where the river was turbid. Their station was a bridgehead, which was the previous location of the pontoon bridge. There were two iron cattle on both sides of the bridgehead, which were used to fix the pontoon bridge. There were also two docks on both sides of the pontoon bridge for ships to dock. After all, the pontoon bridge was limited, and sometimes ships were used.

The river surface is not very wide, about two or three hundred steps, but the river water is very turbid. Although the water flows smoothly, it is said that the river water is very deep. Apart from building a new floating bridge, there is probably no other way to cross the river.

After crossing the river, walking north for several miles, it was the Nanjing Xijin Prefecture of Liao Kingdom. However, the guards of Xijin Prefecture did not defend the city, but took the initiative to send troops to camp on the other side of the river. It seemed that they wanted to block the attack while they crossed the river. Even if they could not defeat the Song army, they could use the natural danger of this river to kill and injure the Song army in large quantities. Then they would be more relaxed when they retreated back to Xijin Prefecture to defend the death.

The Liao army camp opposite was connected in a large area, which looked like boundless. If you only look at the number of camp tents in the camp, the Liao army would probably be no less than 50,000, but Liu Ping knew very clearly that the defenders of Xijin Prefecture now only had 30,000 people, and most of the other troops were drawn to the north, so the other party must be bluffing.

"I remember that the commander of Xijin Prefecture was named Han Nanwang. He was the nephew of Han Derang, a famous Liao general. His family's military strategy was quite extraordinary. I just don't know how much skill he learned?" After Liu Ping looked at the Liao army camp on the other side, he sneered and said.

"Han Derang has five brothers, except for Han Derang, only his fifth brother Han Denin is the most promising. Han Nanwang is Han Denin's eldest son. He is 41 years old this year and is in his prime. He was originally a left-behind in Nanjing and held the military and political power of the Xijin Prefecture. However, Xiao Nojin took power later and sent her nephew Xiao Lusan to the Xijin Prefecture as the Nanjing Prefecture. As for Han Nanwang because of his prominent family background, he was not liquidated. He just became Xiao Lusan's deputy. Xiao Lusan was transferred to the north to participate in the war, so the Xijin Prefecture was once again under Han Nanwang." At this time, Hu Yan Shouxin introduced that he had been in Hebei for a long time and was very clear about the situation in the Liao Kingdom.

"Women ruined the country!" Thinking of the above, Han Nanwang couldn't help but groaned in pain. When Xiao Nojin wanted to transfer most of Nanjing's troops before, he once suggested that at least 50,000 people be left to ensure the safety of Nanjing and the border. However, Xiao Nojin refused to listen at all, leaving only more than 30,000 people for him. This little force was simply stretched. Now that the lack of defense has exposed the consequences of the original.

But it is too late to ask for help now, and since he led his troops to the Yongding River, he would not be able to return without success, otherwise it would only shake the morale of the army, so he could only bite the bullet and go on. At this time, he had a luxury in his heart, that is, he hoped that the Song army was really as cowardly as the legendary one, and that he could use a few troops to resist the Song army's offensive.
