"A treacherous villain, bastard!" Li Sihai stood at the bow of the boat and cursed in a frustration.

Five days later, Shandong agreed to have food and grass, but it was not shipped. It was not until just now that the Fourth Battalion of Chengying received a notice from the Military Information Department. The Song State suddenly sent troops, and a hundred thousand troops crossed Hengshan and left Yanmen Pass. They took Huan, Shuo and Ying from the Liao army with almost no bloodshed. After a little repair, the Hedong camp deployed Yang Yanqing to lead the army northward and headed straight to Yunzhou. The Xia army, which was besieging Datong Prefecture, was immediately in a dilemma of being attacked on both sides. Liu Qutong, the Xuande army, rebelled against Xia and surrendered to Song again. At the same time, the Song State closed Donghangu Pass and cut off trade with Xia. Xijing also captured many smuggling merchants who were traveling between Xia and Song. The entire Luoyang and Chang'an were in a panic.

The sudden dispatch of troops in the State of Song this time was much beyond the expectations of the Xia court. Because the Song court had never been able to keep the secret, before sending troops, whether to take the opportunity to collect Yan Yun, the Song court was discussing a lot, and even the peddlers and barrages in the teahouse were used as topics of discussion. Xiao Bing, the envoy of Xia in Shangjing, was still running up and down, talking to the important officials of Song State, and doing his best to find out the news. Unexpectedly, all this in Song State was a confusing smoke screen, and the Hedong camp suddenly sent troops. Not only Xiao Bing, the envoy of Xia State, did not even get any news, but many important officials of Song State were kept in the dark in advance.

However, what Li Sihai was most indignant was that the food and grass in Shandong were gone. How did the Liaodong Han army pay the stakes? The Hebei Camp did not say a word. Not only did this account suffer a lot. Moreover, the Chengying Camp sold the stakes to the Song army, and it was very important to have a small matter. In the past, although the Song navy attacked overseas territories, the protection of the State of the State itself did not pay much attention to those places. But now, the Song Dynasty was determined to seize Yunzhou, and the Liao and Song Dynasty jointly decided to win the Guanzhong alliance had already been quarreled by everyone. Who knew that the Song Dynasty's battle this time and sent troops to Xijing Road would be a prelude to the attack on Guanzhong? Xia and Song Dynasty were so evil that the transaction between the Liaodong Chengying Camp and the Song Dynasty's Hebei Camp had already been reported to the General's Mansion, but the General's Mansion had been silent. In the hands of those who were interested, Li Sihai and Zhao Xingde might have to be involved.

Three new naval artillery ships headed north from Yuntun Port and arrived at Yueyang Island today. They could not dilute Li Sihai's anger. He raised his neck and drank a mouthful of tea. The situation reached this point, and it was not guaranteed that the Guguo Mansion would transfer the navigator south tomorrow to regain the overseas territories that were coerced by the Song State. Before leaving, there was one thing to do, that was, beat the Liao people hard.

The vast sea ice was not changed much. The Liao army still detoured the sea ice, avoiding the artillery fire at the city of Nanshan, and transporting food and supplies to the 20,000 infantry and cavalry stationed in Guannan, Suzhou. Only by carefully measuring the width and thickness of the sea ice every day can we know that only a few rounds of artillery bombardment will be completely destroyed.

"Fortunately General Zhao expected that it was not bad. The sea ice melted early and would be able to land tomorrow night. Tieshan Island was barely enough for food and grass," Wang Xuansu said to Han Ningshuang, "If it were ten days later, it would be troublesome."

The supply of food and grass was suddenly cut off across the sea, causing great difficulties for the Han army. During these days, 30,000 soldiers gathered on sea boats to Tieshan Island, including 5,000 Jurchen cavalry. The severe winter just passed, and it was a day when the weather was not met. All the troops landed on the island with empty stomachs and empty ration bags. Even if they only had two and a half meals a day, the Tieshan Island would consume hundreds of stones of food a day. Wang Xuansu had to send his personal soldiers to collect surplus grain everywhere in the camps of nearby islands, and his backbone was almost broken. If the melting of sea ice was delayed for a while and the food and grass was cut off, the tens of thousands of troops that he had finally summoned would probably have to scatter and eat.

"Only by winning a victory, attracting the Liao army to the north, you can rest in the north," Han Ningshuang's eyes flashed slightly, and said in a deep voice, "The soldiers in front of the army who crossed the sea to attack the Liao camp will be entrusted to General Wang." She looked at the undulating sea under Tieshan Island, and on the undulating sea surface, many sea birds flew up and down, looking for food in the waves. Eagles hit the sky, fish swam in the shallow bottom, and seemed to be free, but in fact, they all tried their best to survive.

The south of Suzhou is too close to the hinterland of the Liao Kingdom's rule, and it is not suitable to be the foundation of the Han army. However, it can be done with the Liao Kingdom to fight for it with all its might, attracting the attention of the Liao army. After this winter, many Han people in Liaodong were reluctant to move around and move, so the Han army commander's mansion followed the trend and tried to rebuild the foundation in the old land of the Bohai Sea in the north. Even if the Liao army launched a large-scale conquest and encountered a strong city like Nanshan City, it could not be captured for a long time, because the journey of transporting supplies, food and grass was long, and I was afraid that it would not be able to maintain it.

On the coast of Tieshan Island, there is the camp of 5,000 Jurchen soldiers. After a harsh winter, people seemed cold and silent. The first Bojili of the Jin Kingdom, Wanyan Cibushu, could not survive this winter. He passed away a month ago, and the remaining generals were divided. Huanglong Mansion had been conquered by the Liao army, and Dubojili Wanyan Wuqima retreated to Ningjiang Prefecture. Under the siege of 300,000 Liao troops, it was only a matter of time before the fall. The Jurchens once had a country that would soon disappear. Wanyan Cibushuhu's trusted subordinates were neither willing to join Wu Qimai, nor could they compete with the Liao army alone, so they could only form an alliance with the Han army with the various Jurchen tribes of the Yalu River. The attack on the Liao army in Guannan of Suzhou was also to protect the Jurchen tribes on both sides of Changbai Mountain and Yalu River.

Each battalion was counting people and wiping the weapons. Tonight was a full moon night, and the Han army crossed the sea at night. The five thousand cavalry selected the front line among the Han army and the Jurchen soldiers boarded the ship first, and the other people and horses came ashore here. The soldiers all pulled each other with ropes and were not allowed to make noise. After gathering on the beach, they raised fire to attack the Liao camp.

A full moon hangs in the sky, and white moonlight shines on the top of Nanshan City. Not far away, the Liao army's iron barrel cannons still roar from time to time. The defenders of Nanshan City have long been accustomed to the sound of cannons and have even reached a state of deafness. As long as the Liao army does not attack the city, it will be a "peaceful" night. Since the shell of the giant cannon turtle was blown up, the Liao army has been attacking the once-explosive wall. However, they have not broken through this wall again, leaving only more and more slopes made of corpses. Correspondingly, the Han army has been increasing the fortifications every day until they are level with other parts of the city wall. The wall built by the earth bag, wooden stakes and ice has always been about five feet higher than the slope outside the wall.

Zhao Xingde gently patted the bronze cannon body with his right hand and smiled: "It is said that the full moon night is the most suitable for night attacks. It seems that the weather is beautiful."

"I finally got through it." Tong Yunjie nodded and subconsciously wiped the place he had photographed. When there was no battle, Tong Yunjie would ask the gunner to wipe the cannon body as bright as a bronze mirror, and any stains would not be allowed. Because there is a mudflat on the east side of Nanshan City, and there is a warm current passing by, the sea ice cannon is no longer accessible to people. That night, Zhao Xingde concentrated all the four-inch long cannons to the west. Once the battle started, this would be a major road. Whether the Liao army in Guanbei of Suzhou was going south to support the attacked Guannan Liao army, or the Liao army in Guannan attempted to escape back to Guanbei, the west of the city was a must-pass place. The Han army in Nanshan City would fire the artillery first, and the navy followed the sound of cannons at the top of the city and began to bombard the ice surface.

The night was already dark, and the Liao army's camp was still on, and the central army's tent was still on. Xiao Tachi was looking at an imperial edict. Yelu Dashi not only did not blame him for his troops at the city of Nanshan, but instead praised Bo Shenghuo and Meerbo as a rare hero on the grassland. Although Ningjiang Prefecture had not been conquered, the elite soldiers and generals of the Jin Kingdom were almost exhausted because they were worried that Nanjing Road and Xijing Road would soon return to the south.

"The useless Bo Shenghuo actually became a big khan on the grassland." Xiao Tachi took a deep breath. Yes, it was jealous, he was deeply jealous. The Bo Shenghuo Meerbo, who was looked down upon by him, actually did better than Haidu Khan. Even the Emperor of Liao had to pay attention to him.

............

In Ningjiang Prefecture, the emperor's personal imperial tent was opened. Yelu Dashi was wearing military uniform, and more than a dozen generals surrounded him, all of whom were wearing helmets and armor, standing under the Khitan Sun and Moon flag with murderous intent. The Liao army in the northern expedition fought hard for months. Although they were extremely tired, His Majesty the Emperor could share the joys and sorrows with his soldiers, and the army did not complain. Not far away, the city walls of Ningfu in the Jin Dynasty had been bombarded with artillery and were shaking, but they did not collapse. Under the cover of artillery, the Liao army attacked the city for several days, and the Jin soldiers in the city suffered heavy casualties, and even women took up bows and arrows to defend the city.

If there were another twenty days, it would definitely be able to capture this city. However, the Liao Kingdom had no time. Under Huining Prefecture, countless Liao troops braved their arrows and shields climbed the Tushan Mountain to attack the city. The top of Tushan was only three feet away from the city wall. The Liao army could jump past, but the Jin soldiers defended behind the city wall and fought to the death without retreating.

Brother Yelu Tie looked at His Majesty's back and secretly admired him. His Majesty could still command such a dangerous situation. "Boshenghuo Meerbo is such a fierce hungry wolf," Brother Yelu Tie thought fiercely, "If it weren't for his troubles, he would have fought with the Anbei Army Division. The Anbei Army Division would have a bloody battle with the Song State, rather than being completely attracted by the grassland tribe like now."

It is impossible for the Xijing Road to be taken away by the State of Song in vain. Moreover, the State of Xia has mobilized the regiments and training troops in Guanzhong, and it may not be targeted by the State of Song. The people of the Southern Dynasties are too cunning. If the State of Xia attacks Datong Prefecture again and has the support of hundreds of thousands of regiments and training troops, it will not only be a threat to go to Beijing.

Your Majesty has ordered the baggage battalion to organize its luggage, food, grass and weapons, and now it is to prepare for the withdrawal of the army. While attacking the capital of the Jin Kingdom with all its might, he divided his troops to plunder the nearby Jurchen tribes, which made the Jurchens unable to return. In the future, the army retreated south and asked Wanyan Wuqimai not to even dare to leave Ningjiangzhou City.
