At the city of Nanshan, the corpses of the Liao army were stacked layer by layer, snow water and blood, frozen the corpses and earth sacs together, and accumulated seven or eight feet thick under the city. The highest place was already more than ten feet high. The Liao army used human lives to fill them every day, and the sacs were gradually increasing. Once they were piled up to the height of the city wall, the Liao army could pour into the city along the slope brigade.

There was a disgusting smell inside and outside the city wall. In addition to the corpses of people, destroyed goose cars, shield cars, and collisions were everywhere. In order to reduce casualties under the city, the Liao army's craftsman camp also built a special shield car. The giant shield made of several layers of thick wooden boards and raw cowhide was installed on a rotating pallet. When the Liao army advanced to the city of Nanshan, it could flexibly turn the direction of the giant shield to resist the shotgun bullets attacking from the side. The Han army had to use solid bullets to destroy these shield cars. Taking advantage of this rare gap, the Liao army could transport more earth bags under the city wall.

The horn of the Liao army during the attack was particularly shrill. Ge Lu walked in the middle of the queue in fear. Although he was covered in armor, he felt guilty as if he was naked. He looked at the Liao army infantry carrying earthbags around him, one by one, slowly approaching the Nanshan city wall. Compared with the pale craftsmen, these infantry were more like walking corpses.

"Bah, the Jurchen barbarian!" Ge Lu cursed in his heart.

These infantry were all Jurchen soldiers surrendered in Liaoyang City. Xiao Tachi used them to attack the city, and he had the idea of ​​consuming these Jurchens under the Nanshan City. In order to prevent the Jurchen soldiers from rebelling, they mainly attacked the city several times, but later they used Jurchen soldiers to carry the land to attack the city, while the Khitan cavalry were monitoring it from afar. The place on the Liaodong Peninsula was small, and even if these Jurchens wanted to escape, they had no place to escape.

"Suddenly—" With a sound of "A round iron bullet almost wiped the top of Ge Lu's head, a scream sounded behind him. Ge Lu's teeth fought and his whole body trembled. At this time, he just wanted to turn around and run back. The infantry soldiers could retreat as long as they threw the earth bags under the city, but Ge Lu had to wait for these water dragon trucks to pour water into the city. The wheels squeaked, and the death-hunting sound made him unable to breathe.

The thick smoke in front had already risen. When approaching the city wall for more than two hundred steps, the Liao army scattered. The shield chariots that were originally in front of the formation were pushed to both sides, forming two shield walls. Some shield chariots were filled with earthbags, while others carried lit smoke balls. The battlefield was suddenly in chaos. The cannons at the top of the city used shotguns and solid bullets, and some shield chariots were smashed by solid bullets. The Liao infantry, with the cover of these shield chariots, ran forward desperately in the flying rain of bullets. People screamed and fell down everywhere. Ge Lu shrank next to a shield chariot, and witnessed the flesh-and-blooded scene, almost even his courage was scared. When he arrived here, he was dead when he was moving forward and dead when he retreated. The Liao army pushing the water dragon chariot had to bite the bullet and move forward. In less than a quarter of an hour, four or five water dragon chariots were destroyed as shield chariots.

"Damn it, it's here again." Tong Yunjie frowned, and the thick smoke blocked his vision again.

Although it may not be very effective, the Liao army will shoot thick smoke as soon as it approaches the city wall. Under the interference of smoke and dust, the Han army has difficulty aiming, and the solid bombs do not hit the shield chariot so much. The Liao army siege has more opportunities to survive. In this regard, the Han army has no choice but to use solid bombs and shotguns at intervals and fire at all speed near the city wall. With the sound of "booming" fire, projectiles roar down to the city. Although the effect is not visible, the battle for many days made Tong Yunjie believe that no one can penetrate this barrage and attack the city of Nanshan.

“咯——”葛鲁艰难地咽了一口唾液,在盾车的掩护下,水龙车终于退到了距离城墙三十步之内的地方,这里的弹雨也最为密集,按照事先的安排,多辆满载着土石的盾车,鹅车环绕了一圈,为水龙车抵挡着四面八方倾泻过来的弹雨.借着浓烟的掩护,城头的汉军并没发觉他们.

"Quick, fast--"

The craftsmen rushed to support the water pipe heads, and the soldiers hurriedly pressed the handle down, and with a "sour-" sound, the cold water spilled out like a white scheming. Ge Lu's hanging heart finally let go half of it. From the place where he set out to the city wall, he felt that it had been so long that he had passed, and he was even worried that the water in the water tank would have frozen.

"It's okay, it's okay!" Ge Lu tightened behind the shield car and shouted loudly: "Hurry, hurry up - keep the water on!" The Liao army soldiers behind rushed up in the rain of bullets and poured water into the water tank with water bags. Compared with the slow-acting earth bag siege, the water dragon siege city sounded both fresh and fast, so Xiao Tachi also attached some importance to it and specially allocated thousands of Xi soldiers to carry the water bags of the water dragon siege for this water dragon convoy.

The cold and cold water brushed on the top of the city. Several musketeers lie behind the basin were immediately covered in their bodies and cursed: "Damn it, why does it rain in the middle of winter?" It was obviously snowing. These musketeers were wet all over, their teeth were clamoring, and they lay down on the top of the city and looked down. They saw the Liao army's car formation, and they cursed: "It turns out that the Liao dog is doing something, hurry up and shoot him!"

Zhao Xingde was also quite surprised by the Liao army's attack with a water dragon car. The thick smoke ignited by the Liao army under the city blocked the sight of the city, making it difficult for artillery to aim at the shield car. The artificial rain fell down and washed most of the smoke and dust. The arrangement of the Liao army under the city was clearly seen.

Zhao Xingde immediately ordered: "Replace the solid bullet and bang it down there!"

话音未落,各个炮位已经开炮了,圆铁弹,几十斤重的石弹,带着尖利呼啸的风声,都照车阵而去.辽军鹅车,盾车只能抵御霰弹子,在火炮用实心弹的轰打下,顿时化作一团团横飞的木片,聚集在车阵周围的辽军也遭了池鱼之殃.各种炮弹如雨点般纷纷落下,比城墙下还要密集.不到一刻钟的功夫,几十架水龙车都化成木片.后面的奚军军官见状,立刻让士卒抛下水囊后退,冷水四处流淌.

Ge Lu was trapped in the middle of the defeated soldiers and ran back in a dizzy way. It was a joke that the water dragon chariot attacked the city without fail. There was a dead end in front, and Xiao Tachi's knife edge was waiting for him, but the Han army's artillery behind him immediately took his life. He was wrapped in the middle by the defeated soldiers, causing him to run away. He miraculously escaped from the city of Nanshan.

这一场的攻势,以萧塔赤寄予希望的水龙车被击毁而告终.南山城下,血水和冰水混合在一起,四处横流,没过多久,凝结冰面滑溜无比.无数辽军摔倒在地,纷纷破口大骂.这番狼狈的景象,城上的汉军看得清清楚楚,大家一边开炮轰击,一边哈哈大笑.刘志坚也向赵行德献策,以后辽军再施放浓烟,便在城内以水龙浇淋,一边清洗烟尘,一边制造冰面.南山城虽小,城内有水井三口,凉水应有尽有.

"This is a good idea." Zhao Xingde nodded and added, "Every night, pour cold water outside the city wall, and then water it along the slope of the enemy's earth bags, and teach them to play with ice slides." Thinking of the Liao army's funny siege, a smile appeared in the corner of his eyes.

The generals agreed with a smile and went down to arrange to use cold water to flood the city. The Liao army had to pile up soil bags to attack the city. The soldiers had to throw the soil bags on the slope to gradually increase it. After the Han army poured the inclined surface into ice, it was not easy for the Liao army to climb up in a rain of bullets. It would be even more difficult to push the shield cart up.

"General Zhao, this is the record of Yan Liangyi."

Zhao Xingde took it and read it carefully. Because Li Sihai once wanted to make Suzhou Guannan the main port of the Xia Kingdom Navy, he recorded in detail the temperature in Guannan in Suzhou in the past few years and the freezing and melting of sea ice. After Zhao Xingde was stationed in Nanshan, he sent people to record the temperature every day, and at the same time asked the Han army navy to monitor the sea ice. Comparing the temperature and the data trends of sea ice for several years, he found that this winter seemed to be warmer than in previous years, and correspondingly, the sea ice melted slightly earlier.

"If this trend continues, the sea ice will melt in more than twenty days."

Zhao Xingde secretly said that he returned the record of Yan Liangyi to his personal soldiers and said in a deep voice: "Tell the General's Mansion and notify Captain Li that the sea ice may melt in advance. If the Liao army has heavy troops stationed in Guannan, please ask Captain Li to destroy the ice surface and use artillery to block the passages entering and leaving Guannan with us," he smiled slightly, "How can you not charge some interest after staying for so long?"

The personal soldiers took the record and looked at Zhao Xingde in surprise, as if he was looking at a living god. There were already many rumors about General Zhao, and this one was not much different. His tone was very tight and he would not spread such news everywhere. At least he had to wait until the sea ice melted and he charged Liaogou interest before talking.

At this time, in the Liao army camp, Ge Lu knelt on the ground and kowtowed to beg for mercy like a frost-beaten eggplant.

Xiao Tachi was about to order someone to drag him down and chop him down, but Guo Baoyi advised: "Tong Xiao, Ge Lu also wants to contribute to the army. If he just kills it like this, it would be disheartening." He approached Xiao Tachi and whispered: "Ge Lu's younger brother is the confidant in front of the prince. If he just killed it like this, it would be a little trouble. He was a Khitan, and after he suffered a defeat, he would have let the North Courtyard be defeated."

Xiao Tachi's face was gloomy and finally agreed. Guo Baoyi hurriedly asked Ge Lu to kowtow and thank him. After he stepped down, he asked again: "Tong Xiao, it has been a bit since he conquered the Iron Mountain Fort, why haven't he received the victory to His Majesty yet?"
