Yelu Tie didn't look at his subordinates, and was so angry that he trembled all over and said sternly: "You haven't picked up your swords and guns and go out of the city to fight with the Song people? Come on, if there is anyone who is ignorant and not fighting, kill immediately! If——"

Yelu Liang on the side said, "King, the city has been broken, and the situation is hopeless. The Song army did not attack because the snow was too deep and it was inconvenient to move. But even if the Song people did not come up, they would only use cannons to flatten Quyang City."

Yelu Tie turned around suddenly and looked at Yelu Liang and said, "Why, you want to surrender too? I have tens of thousands of troops and rushed out of the city. How should the Song army stop it? As long as you break through the Song army's encirclement, the sky will be high and the sea will be wide. Who can do anything to me!"

Yelu Liang shook his head and pointed at the generals beside him and said, "King, at this time, who else can you want to fight? Why not surrender early and hurt less lives. Over the years, the Song army has been fine with prisoners of war and will not be too harsh."

Yelu Tie didn't look at the generals around him, and saw that they were all depressed and no one spoke. Obviously, no one wanted to fight again. Moreover, in such a situation and such weather, the battle could not be fought. Apart from surrender, the Khitan actually had no way to go.

After the city wall collapsed, the power of the Song army's heavy artillery appeared. The flowering bullets entered the city, and there were 10 or 20 casualties in one shot, and there were screams everywhere. Moreover, the streets in the city were filled with heavy snow, so the Khitan soldiers were unable to move, so they could only wait there to be beaten.

A general said: "The Song army's artillery is so sharp, what else can I say? King, let's surrender."

Several generals said together: "King, there is no way out at this time. Only by surrendering to the Song people, maybe there will be a way out."

Liu Jianji, outside the city, looked at Quyang City with a telescope, and knew in his heart that the city had been broken. Due to the snow, the infantry was inconvenient to attack, so he could only use artillery. In the small Quyang City, 20,000 Khitan cavalry gathered, with people and horses mixed, and almost no artillery cannons were lost. He didn't even need to mobilize other artillery fire. Just fifty heavy artillery was enough to blow up Quyang City to pieces.

As a strategic weapon, heavy artillery is much better than the artillery used by Du Zhongxiao in Tanglong Town back then, and it is more sharp and powerful. The two sides set up their formations, and fifty heavy artillery can directly change the situation of the battle. After surrounding Quyang City for more than ten days, the Song army's cannons were in the right position, and the power was even stronger at this time.

As the commander-in-chief, this was the first time that Liu Jianji used his heavy artillery, which was far beyond his expectations. Today, if the Khitans did not surrender, the artillery would be enough to destroy them. The infantry would just be able to defend the periphery.

At the Khitan military camp west of the city, Xiao Huji stood outside the tent, looking at Quyang City not far away, and listening to the explosions coming from there.

A personal soldier rushed over quickly, and Xiao Hujiu said lightly: "Is Quyang City broken?"

The personal soldiers crossed their hands: "It has been broken! The Song army's artillery was so sharp that it collapsed the west city wall. Now the artillery is hitting the city, and the people inside are really terrible. The people inside are crowded together, and with one shot, dozens of people were killed or injured."

Xiao Huji nodded: "From looking at what he looked like yesterday, you know that the city will definitely be broken today. If you break through Quyang City, the Song army will inevitably concentrate their forces to attack us. You go down and order the generals to lead my commander's tent."

The personal soldiers agreed and quickly informed other generals.

Xiao Huji's military camp was built on the water, and it was originally a force of horns with Quyang City and supported each other. However, the Song army was strong and inserted into the army, separating the two. Now it is surrounded by two sides and has no way to escape.

Soon, the generals arrived outside Xiao Hu's tent and sang to Xiao Hu's tribute.

Xiao Hujiu said, "Listen to the sound of cannons over there, Quyang City has been broken. When the Song army breaks through the city, if I guess it is right, their cannons will be aimed at us. If there is a city, it cannot be stopped. Our military camp is afraid that it will not be stopped even if there is a cannon."

After saying that, he turned around and entered the handsome tent. The generals looked at each other and followed Xiao Hu to see him one after another.

Sitting in the middle, Xiao Hu saw it: "The Song army besieged the city for more than ten days, and they did not start siege until they occupied Feihu a few days ago. I don't know how many people saw the guns that bombed the city wall yesterday, and it was very powerful. Dozens of cannons collapsed the western wall of Quyang City in one day. This Quyang City was built by the Song people this year, and it is extremely strong. There are really few cities in this dynasty. The Song army must occupy the city today, and it should attack our army tomorrow. What should we do? Tell me what to do."

Han family slaves on the side said, "What's there to say? The Song army attacked and we will fight to the death with them!"

Xiao Huji shook his head: "Don't you see it yet? The Song army now wants to fight to the death with them, but there is no chance. The Song army of these two armies only used dozens of cannons to attack the city. Everyone, do you know how many cannons the Song army has?"

Asi said: "Our tens of thousands of troops in our dynasty are only 100 or 20 cannons. No matter how many cannons there are in the Song army, it would be great if there are 100 cannons!"

Xiao Hu saw it and said, "One hundred? Liu Jianji, who was opposite us, had nearly two thousand artillery pieces under his command of 50,000 troops and horses! I have found out clearly these days. The cannons in the Song army are divided into heavy artillery, ordinary artillery, light artillery, and mortar artillery. Yesterday, the one who attacked the city was their heavy artillery, and only generals like Liu Jianji had. Other artillery were divided into levels and distributed in the army. If the Song army attacked us tomorrow, there would be no need to dispatch a large army. Two thousand artillery pieces were lined up outside, and we would have to die! This battle would be impossible to fight."

The generals didn't believe it after hearing it, and they were talking about it. The Khitan learned the artillery casting method from the Song Dynasty. In recent years, they had put a lot of thought into casting many artillery. However, most of the artillery was used to defend the city and there were very few that could be carried in field battles. The Song army's artillery with clear hierarchy and unified specifications could not be imagined by these Khitan generals.

What would it look like if more than two thousand cannons fire? No one knows, and they can't imagine it. So many cannons, gunpowder and shells are not small numbers, how can the army carry them? How much manpower and material resources are needed to transport them in the rear?

Once the railway is left, the supply of materials of the Song army will be greatly restricted, which is the case. Fortunately, gunpowder is, if a large number of shells are not relied on the railway, how can it be supplied to the front line? The Song army's heavy army group actually has a weak mobility. Once it is maneuvered on a large scale, its combat effectiveness will be greatly affected.

After talking for a while, Asi said, "General, since we can't fight, what should we do?"

Xiao Hujian said, "I am here to rule the army and I dare not forget the holy grace at all times. Although I have no chance of winning against the Song army, I will not surrender to the enemy. I should think of another way. If I can't fight, I can only leave."

Han Jianu said: "But we are stationed here, the Song army is located in the south, the Song army is the east, the River River is the west, and there is only the road in the north. But if we retreat to the north, we will only reach the Feihu. The Feihu has been occupied by the Song army, wouldn't it be a dead end?"
