After suffering huge losses and not getting close to the opponent, this made the Liao army very injured, and Xiao Zonghan was a little disappointed, and immediately Mingjin withdrew his troops.

The Liao army found that it was difficult for them to even go back, because they were bypassing the barbed wire, so they had to go around when they went back.

When I came, it was orderly, and when I went back, in order to escape for my life, everyone was huddled together, and it looked like a very small and thin wire, not only with barbs on it, but also not easy to tear off, and a bunch of Liao troops were concentrated here and became a live target.

Anyway, the Liao army crowded below does not have to worry about not being hit, in the wave of archery, the Liao army suffered heavy losses.

It took twice as much time as when they came, and the Liao army finally retreated, but from the attack to the retreat, a full stick of incense time passed, that is, the Song army attacked indiscriminately for almost 15 minutes.

In this state, the Song army is basically going all out, it is obvious that it is impossible for the other party to reorganize the attack, even if it is organized, there are still some infantry, they can't catch up with it when they are idle, and if they don't take advantage of this time to kill them as much as possible, what else can they rely on.

There are about 1,500 archers, and an average of 200 are shot, which is close to 300,000 arrows, and it is impossible to hit each of them, but 300,000 arrows, and the final kill, about 10%, almost 10,000 of the Liao army, were lost here.

Terrible attack power, terrible killing, Xiao Zonghan to the return of the Liao army, he couldn't believe his eyes, arrows rained, this itself is a more exaggerated description in literary works, but this really appeared in front of him.

What kind of bow is this, what kind of arrow is this, is it so terrible?

30,000 people, one third was lost one after another, the morale of the Liao army was low, and under the premise that there was no way to attack the castle, he did not dare to go at all, and he lost a third in one attempt, and dared to come several times.

After that, Xiao Zonghan chose to set up camp, and a day later, he received a message from the Song army that he could collect the corpses, as long as the number did not exceed 2,000, the Song army promised not to attack.

In itself, Xiao Zonghan was reluctant to retract it, but his subordinates proposed that this was a good opportunity to spy on the other party's reality and should be used.

In this way, more than 500 people were selected, and it took 4 days to collect the corpses, and the same way, the surroundings were also probed clearly, the building could not be seen above, the height he calculated, the lowest was also more than 7 zhang, the highest, I am afraid that there were not more than 10 zhang, this height is not possessed by any city defense he has ever seen.

Similarly, the location of the barbed wire and the trap has also been determined, although it is not blocked, but it will not be trapped, and at the same time, a batch of wire was secretly brought back, all of which are very tough, compared to the iron of Liao, both flexibility and hardness are much higher.

The most important thing is that those arrows, the Song army did not clean up, the Liao State was responsible for collecting the corpses, and they did not dare to move the ones that were stuck on the ground, but on the corpses, they did not get rid of them, and directly moved them back, with a loss of more than 10,000, and almost got back more than 30,000 arrows.

Now, these arrows are placed in front of Xiao Zonghan, the arrows are very large, almost more than twice the size of ordinary short bows, the same, huge arrows, with a lot of iron, almost all of them are made of fine iron, quite heavy, more than 30,000 arrows, almost enough to be able to collect thousands of catties of fine iron, these as long as a little smelting, you can create armor, almost 100 sets of heavy armor, this is also another harvest.

The defenders of the Northern Song Dynasty were condescending, of course, they saw the movements of the Liao State in their eyes, those arrows were not that they didn't want, there was no way to ask for them, there were only more than 2,000 defenders, and it was okay to defend in the fortress.

Let the Liao State collect the corpses, but also for fear of the plague, a large number of corpses lying there, it is not a thing, so let them spy and get the arrows, this is also a situation where there is no way.

In this way, after an attempt, Xiao Zonghan's courage to continue trying was completely dispelled, and before there was no better way, he could only stop here and send people to investigate the surroundings to see if there was any other way to bypass.

There were other roads, but the nearest roads, suitable for the army, were blocked, and those probe horses, after seeing the fortress, did not dare to approach at all.

Xiao Zonghan still knows the terrain here, if these passes within 200 miles are blocked, he may have to make a detour 800 miles away and enter from Yunzhou, then it will be far away.

The most important thing is that this pass is stuck here, like a fish bone stuck in the throat, painful and deadly, and if it fails, just like today's battle, those seemingly harmless barbed wire fences will become an obstacle.

Set up camp, build the camp with the best materials, and at the same time, build siege equipment on a large scale, first of all, ladders.

Among the siege equipment, the ladder is up, only the ladder can help the infantry, cross the city wall, climb to the top of the city, but unfortunately, the technical development of the Liao State is not high, and the ladder that can make 2 zhang is already good, and 7 zhang is a little too long.

When the height of the ladder reaches a certain level, the difficulty of making it greatly increases, either it is not reachable, or it is too heavy and fragile, these are unsolvable problems.

In addition to camping and manufacturing all kinds of siege equipment, Xiao Zonghan also sent personnel to investigate, he couldn't go over, and he also had to know what was going on in Zhejin Mansion, maybe some big entrances could not be entered, and some small ones could let three or four people go, or simply detour for hundreds of miles, bypassing from Yunzhou, it was still possible, and when the number of people was small, the speed or something could be accelerated.

One person and three horses, chose the most elite night not to collect, detoured more than 600 miles, entered the customs from Shanxi, and then went to Nanjing to investigate.

It took 10 days to go back and forth, and finally got a news that shocked Xiao Zonghan, Nanjing Zhejin Mansion is very likely to have been captured, at this time, in the entire Youyun area, there are Song troops everywhere, there are many of them, and most of the prefectures and counties are almost occupied.

A total of more than 200 people were sent, only more than 30 people came back, and the rest were almost all lost, based on these results, no matter how Xiao Zonghan didn't believe it, there was only one explanation.

A report was quickly formed and sent to Tokyo, and when this report arrived, Liao Xingzong had just retreated from Guanwai to Tokyo.

The march of a large army is completely different from the march of a small army, the speed is much slower, and the long march will also be tiring.

After fighting for so long from the time they set out to Baishan, if they didn't take a little rest, they themselves would be ruined, even if they were elites.

There are perfect supplies in Tokyo, and he will set off after a few days of rest, and in the same way, after knowing the arrangements left behind in Tokyo, Liao Xingzong is still relieved.

30,000 troops, this should not be a problem to deal with the Northern Song Dynasty, and at the same time, the city defense of Zhejin Mansion will not be broken in such a short time, with reinforcements, it can last at least a month.

Dealing with some backlog of things, Liao Xingzong hadn't taken a breath yet, Xiao Zonghan's report came, and all of a sudden, it changed from cloudy to stormy.

Zhejin Mansion may fall, this uncertain news is given by Xiao Zonghan, their 30,000 troops did not arrive at Zhejin Mansion, but were trapped at the checkpoint in the north, and even he told the truth that he lost 10,000 The news came out.

The fart has no effect, not only did he not save the Zhejin Mansion, but he lost his troops and generals, which is enough for Liao Xingzong to deal with him, and what is even more terrifying is why the Zhejin Mansion fell.

Zhejin Mansion is not only Nanjing, but also the most able place for Liao to receive grain and taxes, after the grassland was cleared by Yuan Hao, it may take a few years to recover, at this time, Zhejin Mansion was breached, which means that the entire Youyun may be occupied by the Northern Song Dynasty, this blow is not small.

Liao Xingzong couldn't sit still any longer, even if the Tielin Army had not completely rested, they had to set off, at least 100,000 pioneers of the Tielin Army set off immediately, and sent out the most important generals of the entire Liao State.

In the same way, he didn't stay long, and the whole of Tokyo began to collect supplies in preparation for another imperial expedition.

The situation in Tokyo, Liaoguo, Tokyo, but it is extremely stable, Han Qi's twists and turns have been determined, and he has taken Zhejin Mansion steadily, and is taking 12 states near Zhejin Mansion in depth, and the Liao army at this time has not even passed Shanhaiguan.

Even if the minister who was optimistic before, he thought that this Northern Expedition might be very smooth, but he really didn't expect it to be smooth to such an extent.

The conquest of Zhejin Mansion, the Northern Song Dynasty had a huge fulcrum, and the next thing, Han Qi had already prepared, a large number of materials passed through the three passes, and were sent to the territory of the Liao State.

At this point, Ye Qingchen also made a guarantee, now, most of the cost of the project has stopped, the entire Northern Song Dynasty and the three divisions of the finances, all inclined to the Northern Expedition, whether it is materials, or something else, basically, are the first time to satisfy, if the Sanguan side is insufficient, can not be transported, can be directly purchased from the Ding Navy, transported from the sea, which can save a lot of time, land is not as good as at sea, but also reduce the time for the Ding Navy to be transported from land to Tokyo, and then turn around, It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone.

Youyun, this is the wish of the emperors of the Northern Song Dynasty, take here, the whole country is complete, here can be arranged, with the huge Great Wall, to resist the invasion of nomads, at the same time, Youyun here, there are also enough places to raise horses, Jingsai army reappear, it is not impossible.

The victors and losers are so distinct, and Liugongshan Island, far away in Shandong, went to the Liaodong Peninsula, disturbed the entire Northeast, and allowed the Northern Expedition to proceed smoothly.

Continuous running, day and night, although the seed is young, he needs to shoulder the safety of more than 4,000 people, and it seems that he is walking with Liao Xingzong, but it is dancing on the tip of the knife, and if he is not careful, he may overturn.

Now, finally coming back safely, when he got on the boat, he was a little relaxed, and it was not until Liugongshan Island in the Northern Song Dynasty that he was completely relaxed, feeling deep exhaustion.

How the Northern Expedition went, he didn't know, it should be good, he had mobilized hundreds of thousands of troops from the Liao State, and it shouldn't have any impact, the leaders of the Northern Expedition were Han Qi and Di Qing.

The former is the privy deputy envoy, who directly destroyed the existence of Western Xia in the northwest, and the latter is the elite of the army, and the god of war in the eyes of the generals in the army.

A total of more than 4,000 went out, but the return, only about 3,200, fighting behind enemy lines, although there is excellent protection, but the battle damage still appears, especially the wounded, in the fast horse whip, once injured, there will definitely be a problem, can not keep up with the team, can only be cultivated on the spot.

In a place where life is not familiar, such on-the-spot cultivation is almost equivalent to death, although later, when returning, the planting also took some away, but more of them are not on the way.

This is the helplessness of the war, when the war comes, everyone wants to win in every possible way, and the 4,000 people carried by the planters, as long as the goal is achieved, they can't come back, and it really doesn't have much impact.

This group of cavalry will rest on Liugongshan Island for more than half a month, and then return to Tokyo to be honored, and it is expected that most of the people's positions will be promoted, and the money they will receive should be a lot.

Although the status of soldiers and generals in the Northern Song Dynasty is not high, and it is impossible to have much influence in the government and politics, the rewards for military merits are quite in place, whether it is money or honor, it is very high.

Although in the territory of Liao, his gains could not be calculated very clearly, but he dragged the Liao army and let hundreds of thousands of Liao troops waste a month in the north, which directly supported the Northern Expedition.

Without the threat of hundreds of thousands of Liao troops, Di Qing and Han Qi could use troops more riskily, for example, after Di Qing captured Zhuozhou, regardless of other aspects, he went directly to Zhejin Mansion, and by surprise, the Liao army in Zhejin Mansion was blocked into it.

Originally, there were more than 4,000 partial teachers, and I don't know how many they can come back, so the credit is also very high, and the 3,200 people who come back will definitely get a lot of rewards.

When the Northern Expedition was not over, but the capture of Zhejin Mansion had laid the foundation for the victory of the Northern Expedition, and now, for the Northern Song Dynasty army, the most important thing was to face the counterattack of the Liao State.

The importance of the sixteen states of Youyun has been investigated and placed in front of the Privy Council and all the governors, even if the Liao State is mobilized, they will definitely come back, then the war will burn in Shanhaiguan, and in the future, there will be hundreds of thousands of Liao troops here, and there will be a tough battle.
