Along the way, Yelu Chongyuan remained silent, with a dark face, and didn't know what he was thinking. When he returned to the military camp, he suddenly asked Yelu Renxian who had been protecting him: "Can the Song army's cannon be hit several miles away?"

Yelu Renxian said, "Report to Your Highness, there are all kinds of cannons. Some far away say they can hit 100 or 20 miles, while those nearest say they can only hit 100 or 2 miles, without a accurate number. I have asked many people, including Dangxiang people and Song people, but they can't tell the exact number. I think this cannon is extremely rare in the Song army, and no one knows what it means. Judging from the cannons fired in the city today, one or two miles are probably close, but no matter how you look at it, you can still hit 300 miles."

Yelu Chongyuan nodded, and then remained silent for a while, "If we could travel for 10 or 20 miles, it would be too terrible. Wouldn't our military camp be located here? We slept hard at night and we were hit by a mess, but we were afraid it would be bad!"

"Your Highness, don't be confused. I believe that the people who don't know are just talking nonsense for 10 or 20 miles. Where can we? If we can fight so far, how can we attack the city? We set up camp dozens of miles away from the city. We can't get to the city every day, so we dare not set up camp and have to return. With such a powerful cannon, the Dangxiang people can't hold on for so long. It must be a rumor, and your Highness will be at ease!"

If the Song army's artillery could hit the Khitan barracks ten miles away from the city, the battle would be impossible. At night, there were a series of chaotic artillery against the barracks. How many strong troops could keep them unconfused? No matter how far the camp was, it would take half a day to get under the city. When they arrived there, they would have to hurry back without waiting for the siege, otherwise the camp would have to be set within the range of artillery. They would come and go between the city and the camp every day, and they would not even have time to attack the city. What else would they do in this battle? With such powerful artillery, the Song army would have to use up so much strength to destroy the Dangxiang. Although the autumn wind swept away the fallen leaves in the end, they fought for three years.

After returning to the tent and thinking about Yelu Renxian's words carefully, Yelu Chongyuan felt relieved. This was true. The cannons on the top of the Song army's city were farther than the stone cannon, but they were not much farther away. Otherwise, the city would not be able to be captured by the city no matter what, so he should have taken his troops back. After thinking about this section, Yelu Chongyuan was excited again and attracted Yelu Ren first.

After performing rituals, Yelu Ren sat down first and crossed his hands and said, "I wonder what will happen to your Highness in the future?"

"Today we looked at the city, but we only saw that the new and old cities in Yunneizhou on the banks of the Jin River were extremely strong. The solid walls stretched out to both sides were not known how far. The army must siege and then attack. If we can only attack one side of the city, the army will lose its use and last for a long time. Therefore, the most urgent thing now is to figure out how to arrange the city walls in the Song army."

Yelu Ren sighed first: "Your Highness, the strong wall cannot be seen at first sight, and at least several miles away. This city must be unable to be surrounded. According to the last general's view, we should clarify the arrangement of the Song army's city wall as soon as possible, first take its weak points and attack it with force. Break a little bit. If it breaks a little bit, the entire line will collapse, and our army can go around their retreat."

Yelu Chongyuan frowned and leaned towards Yelu Renxian and said, "Break a little bit, can the whole line collapse?"

When he said this, it was obvious that Yelu Ren thought too much, and Yelu Chongyuan did not believe it. The stamina connecting the cities was not necessary. Even if he broke through a little, the cities were still there. How could the Khitan army dare to circumvent the back road? If he wanted to break through the Song army's defense line, he had to pull out all the cities on this line, otherwise the Khitan army would not dare to advance. The forces of the two sides were almost the same. The Song army refused to defend the city, and the Khitan army would not send itself into the encirclement.

Yelu Ren was stunned for a moment before he realized that he had mixed the opposite defense line with Gucheng. Attack Gucheng, he naturally broke the city wall and collapsed. The cities on the Song army's defense line were relatively independent, so this was not applicable.

After thinking for a while, Yelu Ren suddenly discovered that the war was quite difficult. The hard walls stretched out along the banks of the Jin River were connected with other cities, just like grapes, using hard walls to connect many cities together. Even if one city was captured, the Song army could quickly retreat from the hard wall to another city. To win, the Khitan had to fight one city after another.

This is an unsolvable situation for the Khitan, and the battle cannot be fought at all. Attacking a bunch of cities that are strung together, the strength is not greater than that of the opponent. Not to mention the artillery on the city, what can I do if there are no Khitan?

If the two sides set up a battle in a battle, there is no need to consider anything else. The most suitable method for Yelu Chongyuan is to bypass the area where the Song army formed a defense line. Or go north of Yinshan, or go to Shuozhou to attack Dongshengzhou, so that the Song army's defense line will be useless. But this time it was agreed that it would attack the several states occupied by the Song army head-on, and there was no other way, which became a deadlock.

This was obviously pitted by the Song army, and he dug a trap and waited for him to jump. Thinking of this, Yelu Chongyuan looked at Yelu Renxian with a little bad look. On that day, this guy was negotiating with the Song army and drove his words there and had to attack the Song army's city. It was also because of Yelu Renxian's words. This guy caused trouble but cheated him. What was An's thought?

Yelu Ren first saw what Yelu Chongyuan meant and said helplessly: "Your Highness, you negotiated with the Song army at Qingzhong that day. You didn't know that they had built such a monster and thought it was just a few cities. Who knew that in a few months, they actually built a Great Wall, leaving us helpless. This is the last one, and they are willing to accept the blame!"

After being angry for a while, Yelu Chongyuan waved his hand: "Now that these are useless, I'd better think about how to fight!"

Yelu Renxian said: "No matter what, the new and old cities of Yunneizhou, which are confronted by Jiajin River, are the most closely guarded places of the Song army, and it is not advisable to attack from there. According to the last general, we should still find out how large the city wall of the Song army is as soon as possible. Your highness is a daughter-in-law, and you should not be in danger. At the end of tomorrow, we will lead people to divide into two routes, and extend the solid wall of the Song army and how long it will be, and how many cities there are. Only after we understand the arrangement of the Song army, can we prescribe the right medicine and decide how to fight."

The shells fell beside him today. Yelu Chongyuan is still in fear and dare not approach the Song army city. It would be best if Yelu Ren goes first. The disaster is caused by this guy. Who will do it if he doesn't do it?

Nodding, Yelu Chongyuan said again: "In addition, we will assign people to find out how the Song army new city at Zhenwu County and the Yinshan Mountains are together. If they don't believe that they are like this, for more than two months, will the Song army pick up land to build cities every day? If all the three cities are connected by solid walls and a few small cities are supplemented in the middle, we don't have to fight this battle, and we will be able to conquer our lives as soon as possible!"

Yelu Ren first agreed. The army was most afraid of unstable rear routes in combat. If the Khitan wanted to attack Dongshengzhou behind, the three cities on the front line must be captured, otherwise it would be easily surrounded by the Song army. If it was really the worst case, the Song army had built a complete city wall system, and all cities were connected, blocking all the nearly 100 miles of roads. There was no need to fight any more battles, and the Khitan could not break anyway. Although it was not said, Yelu Chongyuan and Yelu Renxian had the same idea in their minds. It was impossible to take back all the territory occupied by the Song army. If you take a step back, just capture one of the three cities of the Song army and barely report it.

The Khitan army, which was known for its rapid maneuver, was bound to use their feet. They came in this battle with excitement and could only hit the iron plate. This result was destined from the Khitans' agreement to deal with the terminals of both sides in this way. Now they only hope to get some face back, otherwise the negotiations would be very unfavorable.

On that day, the two sides of Qingzuka negotiated, and Xu Ping and Fan Zhongyan did practice countless times, and they wanted such a result. But they didn't expect that the trap was so big that it was far beyond their initial expectations.
