In Hejian County, Fan Ning stood in front of the stereotyped map and pondered without saying a word. He looked a little solemn. Yelu Hongji recruited hundreds of thousands of civilians to build a dam on the Juma River, which was indeed beyond his expectations.

Fan Ning had no good idea for how to prevent the Liao Kingdom from building a dam.

"Everyone tell me! What do you think of?"

Fanning said to more than a dozen generals: "Let's brainstorm you to see if there is any good plan."

"I'll say a few words first!"

The commander Zhang Shang took a step forward, bowed to Fan Ning with his fists, and said in a deep voice: "Since the Liao army wants to relieve the dilemma of the Eastern Route Army, can we wipe out the Eastern Route Army before the dam is completed?"

Di Qing also smiled and nodded, "Zhang Tongzhi has a good idea. As far as I know, the Liao army did not build a camp, and stationed thousands of large tents on the spot, relying on thousands of post-snooping to patrol the outside world. This is easy to get into trouble. It is better for us to take the initiative to lure the enemy into battle."

Judge Zhang Qi also said: "It is better to go through two-pronged approach. On the one hand, use warships to delay the construction of the Liao army from the dam, and on the other hand, send troops to encircle and annihilate the Eastern Route Army. If possible, send troops to black water and directly hit the Khitan lair."

General Wei Xu said, "When it comes to naval forces, I think of the navigators on Juehua Island. They can take advantage of this opportunity to build a strong city in the western Liaoning Corridor. They can retreat to the sea and advance to cut off the connection between Yanshan Prefecture and Liaoyang Prefecture."

Fanning nodded. Seeing that Liu Kui seemed to have something to say, but he stopped talking, he smiled and said, "Everyone should step back first! Let me consider it."

Everyone returned to the camp, and Fan Ning then asked Liu Kui, "What do you want to say when joining the army?"

Liu Kui said slowly: "There are two suggestions for Beishi. First, support the Jurchens, the Wugu tribe and the enemy Lie tribe on the grassland to fight against Liao and disrupt the rear of the Liao Kingdom; second, it is time for us to use Yelu Yixin's move."

Everyone stepped back and forth, Fan Ning paced back and forth in the room alone. He needed to clarify his ideas. Although everyone was right, everything was prioritized and he could not grasp everything with his beard and eyebrows. He wanted to separate things. It was urgent to prevent the Liao army from building a dam and lure the Liao army to kill the Liao army. He could also prepare for the preliminary affairs of supporting the Jurchens and the grassland tribes.

Thinking of this, Fan Ning turned around and said, "Please ask Judge Zhang and Sima Liu to see me!"

That night, Zhang Feng and Liu Kui left Hejian Prefecture by boat. The two took different tasks. Liu Kui went to Pingdao and then to Liaoyang Prefecture. When he conquered the Liao Dynasty, the Song army established an intelligence network in the Liao Dynasty. Liu Kui needed the help of the intelligence network to go to Shangjing.

Zhang Feng went to Kunzhou, then followed the army from Kunzhou to Jingzhou, and established a supply base in Jingzhou, and then the fleet entered the Hei River. On the one hand, it was to clear out the Khitan lairs, and on the other hand, it was to support the Jurchens in resisting the Jin Dynasty.

On the dock, Fanning said to Zhang Feng: "We must also support the Jurchens with conditions and selective support. We cannot help the wolf, and we will attract tigers in the future. The Wanyan family is the King of the Jurchens. This family cannot be kept. No matter what method you use, the Wanyan family will destroy it. We support the Shixian tribe and the mature Jurchens in Haidong Road."

Zhang Qi was a little puzzled: "I heard that the Liao Kingdom is now mainly attacking and destroying the Wanyan tribe, and should support the Wanyan tribe in resisting the Liao tribe."

Fan Ning shook his head, "This matter involves the words of prophecy, which is extremely secret. There is a celestial monument in Changbai Mountain of 'Wanyan Xing, Liao and Song Dynasty'. The Jurchen tribe can use it, but it cannot be strengthened. The five Jurchen tribes let the Shi Xian family replace the Wanyan family and lead the Jurchens to fight against the Liao Kingdom. This is extremely important. It is better for the Liao army to directly destroy the Jurchens than to let the Wanyan tribe rise without authorization. Do you remember?"

Seeing Fan Ning's expression was serious, Zhang Feng nodded, "I remember it!"

Fan Ning said to Liu Kui again: "Yelu Yixin is greedy for money and has great power, and is ambitious. Just as I said today, we can give Danzhou to him first to show sincerity. As long as the Liao Kingdom is destroyed, he will be allowed to lead the remaining Khitan troops to take Goryeo to establish the country, or give Kunzhou to him, and he will choose one of them."

Fan Ning was not worried about what kind of demonic moths Yelu Yixin would give birth to. Historically, Yelu Yixin secretly colluded with the Song Dynasty. How could he not leave a way out for himself?

Liu Kui nodded, "Please rest assured, my husband will definitely act according to the opportunity and communicate with Yelu Yixin well."

The two got on the boat, and Fanning held their fists to say goodbye to them on the shore, "The task is important, so it depends on the two envoys!"

The two stood at the stern of the boat and saluted Fanning, and the ship gradually moved away

The dam construction project in Baigou has begun. A huge shed was built on the north bank of Baigou. The gravel in the shed was piled up like mountains. Hundreds of craftsmen have built up fifty-foot-long wooden piles in the river. The wooden piles are very dense, consisting of two layers, one next to one, about one meter wide, forming a sink. A large number of stones, soil and wood are poured into the sink, and after compaction, a dam is formed.

Most civilians were responsible for quarrying and transportation. Tens of thousands of civilians used wheelbarrows to pour trucks of mud and gravel into the river. In five days, a dam ten feet long was formed.

At the third update, a large number of civilians on the shore were still busy. At this time, several Song army warships appeared on the river several miles away.

Dozens of small sampans appeared on the water soon. This small sampan was like a reduced version of a Jiangnan Wupan boat. It was pitch black all over and could only accommodate one person. There was also a waterproof black sampan, but there were no soldiers on the small sampan.

Dozens of water ghosts pushed the small sampan to swim towards the dam hundreds of steps away. They stopped at 300 steps. A water ghost was swimming in the front. When there were fifty steps away from the dam, the water ghost lit the fuse with the fire broker on the boat and pushed the boat towards the embankment. Then a fierce man pierced into the water and swam quickly towards Jiangxinzhou.

The fuse had burned into the hut, and Mars disappeared. The soldiers on the embankment did not notice the boat approaching. Just as the boat was approaching the river dam, a red light burst out and exploded.

The iron fire thunder on the boat is an enhanced and upgraded type of the original iron fire thunder. It weighs 120 kilograms and is extremely powerful. It is the most powerful firearm of the siege bombing ship. The Song army used it to explode the dam without any pressure.

Several feet high of water columns rose on the river surface, rocks flew everywhere, gunpowder smoke filled the sound of a huge explosion alarmed the Liao army camp on the shore, and all the soldiers who were sleeping hard were awakened. Yelu Hongji got up and walked out of the tent and asked, "What's the sound?"

The guard pointed to the river and said, "Report to Your Majesty, it seems that the sound is coming from the river."

Yelu Hongji frowned. Could it be the firearm of the Song army?

At this time, another violent explosion came from the direction of the river. Yelu Hongji was shocked. He immediately realized that this must be the Song army used iron fire thunder to explode the dam.

He immediately ordered: "Transfer ten thousand crossbowmen to the river to shoot arrows to stop the Song army from continuing to blow up the dam!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the third and fourth explosions came again.

Yelu Hongji was anxious. He turned over and urged the horse to run out of the camp. Hundreds of guards were so scared that they boarded the horse and chased after him.

Explosions continued, almost one wave had just calmed down and the explosions exploded for a full twelve times. The explosion finally subsided. The dam more than 20 feet long had disappeared without a trace. Nearly a hundred soldiers and dozens of civilians were killed. Civil strife broke out on the shore, and thousands of civilians took advantage of the chaos to escape.

Yelu Hongji led thousands of people to the riverside, and Yelu Wende knelt down on one knee to report to him: "Report to Your Majesty, it was blown up by the iron fire thunder of the Song army, and it came very secretly and suddenly."

After saying that, he presented a piece of iron sheet, "This is the iron-fire thunder skin that flew ashore. Please check it out."

Yelu Hongji did not answer. He urged the horse to come to the shore and looked at the river. He saw that the river had calmed down. It was pitch black in the distance and could not see any ships. However, the dam more than 20 feet long that they had accumulated for several days had disappeared.

Yelu Hongji turned around and asked, "Is the underwater part of the dam still there?"

Yelu Wende looked embarrassed: "The soldiers have been sent to see it. The wooden stakes under the water were blown up by Qigan, and the gravel and soil were laid on the riverbed. The dam was completely destroyed."

Yelu Hongji was extremely angry and snorted heavily, "Start the dam again. At night, you must send a raft to both sides to watch out. No more dams are blown up, otherwise, you, the master, don't be the one."

"I obey the order!"

Yelu Hongji turned his horse and returned to the camp. After entering the tent, he had no intention of continuing to sleep. He asked again: "Is the battle report from Yizhou?"

The guard hurriedly said, "It has been delivered, but it must be delivered when I just went to bed."

"Where is the battle report? I won't give it to me!"

The battle report was on the table, and the guard presented it to Yelu Hongji. Yelu Hongji threw the iron piece of iron fire thunder on the table, and then took the battle report. After reading several lines, he slapped the table in anger and cursed, "Useless idiot! Idiot, incompetent bastard, what's the use of him?"

This battle report turned out to be a letter of guilt. In the report, Yelu Kunping described the process of several major battles. He was about to climb to the top of the city, but was defeated by the Song army's iron fire thunder. He had 41,000 casualties in all four battles, and he had to lead less than 10,000 remaining troops to retreat from Yi County in a panic, and even the camp was captured by the Song army.

Tonight, Yelu Hongji was going crazy. First, he failed to build a dam repeatedly, and then bad news came from Yi County. Yelu Kunping was so stupid that he lost 40,000 people to siege the city. Is this defending the city or siege?

After thinking about it, it was because the Song army had the iron fire thunder.
