When the incense was buried, Yepu Duoge and Ela Baozhong looked at the earthen castle that was demolished by the Song army in front of him, and were puzzled.

Elabaozhong said: "Although this military fort is small, the city walls are solid. The Song army occupied it and did not defend it here. What does it mean to retreat to the back? Even if you dare not stay away from Huedu, will the military fort stay here? Isn't it good to send people to garrison?"

Burying Xiangre said: "Taiwei, the Song army relies on artillery to fight, and they should not follow what they do."

Yepu Duoge nodded after hearing this: "What Ling Gong said is that the Song army has retreated and left people to garrison here. Wouldn't it delay the firing of artillery?"

Elabaozhong said: "The artillery is so powerful? I believe it's better than the stone cannon. If you say that you can't even hide it in the military fortress, who would believe it?"

Nei Yixiangre and Yepu Duoge had never seen the Song army's fire as if they were fired, so they had to say, "Be careful, it's always right."

After discussing, Burying Yixiangre ordered camping here. According to Elo Baozhong's intention, he should go forward one mile and about one mile away from the Song army. The two armies were too far apart. After Dangxiang attacked and formed a formation, he should go forward two miles away. Before he could wait for the Song army to form a formation, his formation would be in chaos.

Burying Xiangrei remembers that the Khitan Emperor Yelu Zongzhen was as stupid as Elabaozhong. He insisted on going to the Song army formation and a cannon was killed. How could he be in danger? He ordered the abandoned military fort to camp.

Zheng Lian is Yao Shouxin's deputy. This time, with Du Zhongxiao's army coming south, he was with Dou Shunqing with the heavy artillery. Standing on the watchtower, he watched the Dangxiang Army camp in front of the abandoned military fort, handed the telescope to Dou Shunqing, and said with a smile: "The Dangxiang people are so interesting. When we destroy the military fort, we are going to leave a mark there, but they are just camping there. If they dare to fight, they will camp forward and retreat if they are afraid. Do they have to be there, do they want to die?"

Dou Shunqing looked for a while and said, "I think Dangxiang people also know the power of our artillery. They dare not move forward. They think it is safe, so they choose there. If this is the case, don't re-enact your artillery, just focus on the military fort."

Zheng Lian rubbed his hands and said, "When will the artillery be set off? The general gave an order!"

Dou Shunqing said: "Don't worry, when it's late at night, a few rounds of artillery knocked out Dangxiang's military camp and scared them!"

When aiming at artillery, there must be landmarks, and several landmarks within the attack range are connected to command school artillery during wartime. The first sign chosen by the Song army's heavy artillery is the abandoned fort, which is connected to the big trees and huge rocks in the west, and is the farthest firing range of the artillery.

Dangxiangyi camped in abolished fortress, just under the cover of heavy artillery of the Song army, so there was no need to recalibrate it.

Late at night, there were stars everywhere. Dou Shunqing and Zheng Lian stood on the tower and used a telescope to observe the movements of the Dangxiang military camp. The moon had just risen in the east, and the vision was blurred, and only the general outline could be seen. The surroundings were silent, and only the occasional roar of beasts came from the darkness.

Putting down the telescope, Dou Shunqing said, "After one stick of incense, fire the cannon!"

Zheng Lian obeyed the order, went down from the watchtower and sent a messenger to order the artillery to prepare themselves.

Not long after, a low trumpet sounded, and before the officers and soldiers on both sides could react, they heard the roar of the cannon. The flames from the muzzle passed through the deep dark night, and the earth was trembling with the sound of the cannon.

The clay pot had just fallen asleep, but was shocked by the sound of cannons. He turned over and sat in the tent, shouting, "What sound? What sound?"

Before he finished speaking, he heard loud noises coming from nearby, followed by the wailing of people and the neighing of horses.

Burying Xiangre was stunned for a moment, suddenly woke up, and whispered: "It's the cannon, the cannon of the Song army! Personal soldiers, personal soldiers, quickly lead the horse!"

While talking, he ran out of the tent without caring about wearing his coat.

At this time, the entire military camp was in chaos, with many soldiers running around, and some places were still on fire. People shouted and neighed horses everywhere, which was in chaos. The Song army's artillery was not concentrated, but the military camp occupied 10,000 people, and the area occupied by the military camp was too large, and the markings were very obvious, and all fell into the military camp.

After a while, the personal soldiers led the horse. Burying Xiangree didn't care about anything, he turned over the horse and ran south with his personal soldiers.

Ela Baozhong came out of the tent and saw that the surroundings were in chaos, he couldn't help but be furious: "What's the matter? Just mess up your own way first! Where is the Taiwei Yepu? Take me to see him!"

The elite soldiers around him were Dangxiang. Seeing that Elabaozhong was harsh and dared not disobey him, he took him to Yepuduo's tent.

Yepu Duoge had just come out of the tent and was about to call his personal soldiers to flee south. When he saw Ela Baozhong, he had to bow down: "Taiwei, this place is too close to the Song army. The Song army fired artillery to attack the military camp. Follow me quickly, recruit troops and retreat a few miles south."

Elabaozhong said: "The Grand Marshal said that the cannon was fired by the Song army just now? How is it possible! What cannon can hit a few miles away, which is earth-shaking!"

Yepu Duoge was about to explain to Yelao Baozhong when he heard the sound of cannons coming from afar, and he couldn't help but change his face: "Did you hear that? The Song army fired another cannon!"

I don’t know how to avoid artillery fire in this era. I stood there blankly, hearing the sound of cannonballs roaring, and my face turned pale.

Immediately afterwards, the shells fell to the ground, jumped a few times, and then rolled a few times, and bursts came one after another.

Yepu Duoge stayed in place, watching a few soldiers coming out of the nearby tent, bloody and wailing. When the sound of cannons stopped, he looked at himself and said happily: "It's so dangerous, so dangerous! I shouldn't die, there is no injury on my body!"

After saying that, he said to his personal soldiers around him: "Go and inform the generals quickly, don't worry about the tent, retreat, and retreat five miles south!"

He ordered his personal soldiers and said to Elabaozhong who was foolish on the other side: "The Grand Marshal is now, the Song army's artillery is so powerful! Come with me quickly and wait a little longer, and the next round of artillery is coming again!"

After saying that, he stepped forward and grabbed Ela Baozhong's hand, helped his personal soldiers, pushed the horse on and fled south.

As soon as I escaped from the barracks, I heard the sound of cannons coming again, and the entire Dangxiang barracks were completely in chaos.

Hearing the sound of cannons, Ela Baozhong woke up and murmured: "It turns out that this is the artillery of the Song army. It turns out that it is so powerful! How can I fight this battle? Isn't this battle impossible!"

Yepu Duoge said: "Don't worry too much about the Grand Marshal. There are not many such artillery in the Song army. After several months of war, I only heard that they used such artillery to kill the Khitan emperor. I have never heard of using it in other places. If you can't attack here, you should order the army and horses and return to the military city. Since the good artillery is here, there must be no one there. We will concentrate on attacking there."

Ela Baozhong nodded numbly, feeling the stinging pain on his arm. When he touched it with his hands, he felt it sticky. When he put it on his nose, he smelled it, and there was a faint smell of fishy smell. He was a man who had been in war for a long time. He knew that he was injured, so he said to Yepu Duoge: "Taiwei, I have a wound on my arm. If the cannon is released like this, how could there be such a small wound?"

Where can Yepu Duoge be clearly stated? He said casually: "Maybe it was smashed and scratched you. If the injury is not serious, just bandage it when you go back."

While talking, he kept urging the horse to move forward.

The Song army's flowering bullet was filled with iron balls and broken iron pieces. Once it exploded, there were dangers within 10 or 20 steps. If not, how could so many people be injured? Ela Baozhong was injured by the broken iron pieces. He was lucky, and it was injured in his arms and eyes waiting for the vital points, so it was hard to save him.

Dou Shunqing looked at the firelight flashing from the Dangxiang Military Camp in the distance, unable to see it clearly, and guessed the situation there.

At this moment, a personal soldier quickly climbed up the tower and crossed his hands and said, "General, Dangxiang people are afraid of artillery and have fled south!"

Dou Shunqing asked, "Have you withdrawn?"

The personal soldiers said: "Suddenly, they fled for their own lives, and there was a mess. It was so messy that they wanted the whole army to escape!"

Dou Shunqing nodded, thought for a while and said, "How many cavalry are there in the army besides your ranger?"

The personal soldiers said: "There are more than 800 people back to the general!"

Dou Shunqing waved his hand: "Order these more than 800 cavalry to chase the enemy with all their might! It is difficult to command at night, so they are divided into small teams and fight on their own! No matter what the outcome of the battle, the entire army will return to the barracks before dawn!"

The personal soldiers crossed their hands and obeyed the orders, quickly got off the lookout building and sent the orders.

Dou Shunqing was guarding this line, and there were not many cavalrymen, with a total of about a thousand people. Apart from the reconnaissance, there were only more than 800 cavalry units. It would be a pity not to chase them too much when facing the enemy's retreat. They simply let their entire army attack, and if they have dates or no dates, they will make a lot of results.

Zheng Lian's heavy artillery was still roaring, and even the Hue Du in the south felt heavy and trembling from the earth.

Du Zhongxiao stood up, put on his clothes and went to the yard, watching the flames that kept flashing in the south.

Zhao Zi left his house, yawned, stood beside Du Zhongxiao, and looked south together. After a while, he said, "It is really impressive to put all the heavy artillery on Dou Shunqing's place! He was too smart in the war. He watched the Dangxiang people camp and fired the artillery in the middle of the night. After this artillery, the Dangxiang people were not scared back to the army. It would be better to wait a day and transfer some cavalry over, and maybe all the Dangxiang people who came were destroyed."

Du Zhongxiao said: "This time we are fighting the White Horse Military Supervisor. Don't be greedy for small achievements and mislead the overall deployment. The firing of artillery tonight is to make the Dangxiang people unable to understand the truth and scare them first. If the Dangxiang people dare not attack Dou Shunqing, his troops can support you."

Zhao Zi laughed and said, "That's great. I have more than 7,000 people. He can support two thousand soldiers, gather up ten thousand people, and eat up all the soldiers of the White Horse Military Supervisor! By the way, after encircling and annihilation of the White Horse Military Supervisor, he can still advance westward and occupy several Bobei."

Du Zhongxiao nodded: "This proposal is feasible. There is a salt pond there, which produces good salt, which is also a source of wealth. If you control it, everything west of Dangxiang Helan Mountain will be owned by me. Xingqing Prefecture connects Hexi and Heishui, and can only go from Lingzhou to Ganzhou and Suzhou."
