The originally arrogant generals of the Liao Kingdom were dejected at this time, and many people still felt that the punishment of heaven was coming and they were in a state of despair.

Only Wu Yanguang said unconvincedly to Chao Yong: "The Southerners only know how to use conspiracies and tricks, and they are heroes fighting alone with us."

Black Tornado Li Kui took the axe and rushed forward to Wu Yanguang, cursing: "You bastard, you dare to be stubborn, and you will talk about it again after taking Grandpa's axe."

Chao Yong signaled that Jiao Ting was indifferent to the supervision while holding Li Kui, and smiled at the old acquaintance Yelu Dashi, saying, "How about it, do you think we are using conspiracy?"

Yelu Dashi thought about it and found that Liang's strategy seemed to be a half-mute attack. The subsequent explosion can only be said to be the application of new weapons. No matter how shameless he is, he cannot say that people use new weapons is a conspiracy. There are many skilled craftsmen in the South and often invent new weapons. There were many firearms before, but their power was incomparable to today's artillery.

As for the attack on the half-cross, it seems that the benefits outweigh the disadvantages on our side. If the Liao army all crossed the river, after the huge explosion, the outcome of the 50,000 people would not be different from the current result. The power of the earth and the mountain shake is enough to destroy the fighting spirit of the Liao soldiers and make all war horses out of control. Even if there are many people crossing the river, they will only be a defeat.

In history, when the Jin Kingdom attacked Nanjing, and when it reached Juyong Pass, the Liao soldiers remained in a while. The Jin soldiers had no choice but to retreat. When they were about to retreat, a sudden earthquake quickly caused the Liao soldiers to lose their fighting spirit and abandon the pass and flee. Only then was the Jin soldiers able to enter the Nanjing area and wipe out the last territory of the Liao Kingdom.

Yelu Dashi, at Chao Yong's reminder, thought of this, couldn't help but become suspicious. Could it be that Liang State deliberately let more than 10,000 people cross the river, just to let Liao State see the power of Liang State's new weapons and let them retreat in the face of the difficulties?

The Liao emperor Yelu Yanxi on the other side had already arrived. The originally arrogant generals of the Liao Kingdom were dejected at this time, and many people had not yet reacted from the earth-shaking explosion, looking in a state of dismay.

In the camp where the personal soldiers were ready, they changed their clothes and armor, and brought a group of civil servants and military officials to the riverside to prepare for a conversation with Prince Daliang on the other side.

Yelu Yanxi had completely lost the idea of ​​going south to attack Liang State at this time. The artillery of the southerners was too powerful, and he could see the huge pits blown out on the other side of the river. He was also a little lucky at this time. If he had crossed the river, his life might have been lost.

The explosion pit was nearly a hundred feet long. It was not that the explosion was so powerful, but that it detonated 500 kilograms of black gunpowder in the tunnel, overturning many tunnels, so it seemed that it was blown up nearly a hundred feet long.

When Yelu Dashi saw the emperor Yelu Yanxi on the other side, he thought he had found the answer. Liang must be afraid of killing the Liao emperor and causing a war between the two countries. Now that the Central Plains is in civil strife, Liang is unable to start a full war with Liao. Although Liao is also unable to start a full war with Liang, if the emperor is killed by Liang, no matter who succeeds to the throne, he can only send troops to attack Liang and avenge the former emperor. This will win people's hearts.

It was obvious that the Liang Kingdom did not want to see this situation, so it only allowed some of the troops to cross the river and gave them a thunderous blow.

Yelu Dashi thought he had found the answer, and a smile appeared on his face. He smiled and said, "The prince is joking. Liang State has such a firearm, why use any strategy?"

After seeing the strength of Liang State, Yelu Dashi changed his name. Before, he saw Chao Yong calling him his name or calling him a little overlord because he felt that Liang State was actually the bandits of Liangshan. The founding of the country was just because there was no one in the Southern Dynasties and had no strength at all. He did not think that Chao Yong had really become the crown prince. However, today's battle made him know that Liang State seemed to be no longer easily captured by them. Under the pressure of the Jin Dynasty, Liang State could even force them to sit down and talk.

Chao Yong also did not deny that it was the power of firearms. After all, the smell of gunpowder on the battlefield was enough to tell everything. Gunpowder in this era is no longer a secret, and he does not need to deceive himself.

Chao Yong laughed and said, "Yes, you have also seen the power of my Daliang gunpowder. If it is used to attack the city, it will be even more like a city. Strong cities and dangerous passes will be meaningless. You and I have a covenant, but I can't go north to attack you and take back the sixteen states of Yanyun, which are the Han people. I didn't expect you to tear the covenant first and go south to invade our dynasty. It's just my wish, hahaha."

After the founding of the Liao people, they advocated Han culture. The Nanyuan system was imitated by the Tang and Song dynasties. It can be said that the degree of sinicization was very deep. Most generals could understand Chinese. Of course, few people were proficient in poetry like Yelu Dashi. After all, there were only a few Han people who were proficient in poetry.

After hearing Prince Daliang admit that it was the power of firearms, these Liao generals couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. After all, although the firearms are powerful, they can always come up with solutions. If it is a real punishment, they will have to sit and wait for death.

Yelu Dashi smiled and said, "If the prince really wants to retake the sixteen states of Yanyun, why not let my army cross the river and defeat our Liao army? Now there are more than 30,000 troops on the other side of the river. If you cross the river and fight in the field, you may not be able to use firearms."

Chao Yong turned his head and looked at the huge pit not far away, and secretly complained that it was a pity. He didn't expect that the power of gunpowder would be so great after it was placed in the tunnel, and he had never seen the power of the explosion of five hundred kilograms of black gunpowder.

If the explosion is not powerful, it will only disrupt some of the Liao soldiers, and the remaining tens of thousands of Liao soldiers will be a difficult bone to crack. Although the Liao Kingdom cannot afford to be injured, Daliang is even more unable to bear the consequences of losing troops and losing generals.

Yesterday he just received the gold medal and was in a hurry. The 400,000 troops of Western Xia invaded, and several state prefectures had been lost in the west, while the main forces of the Western Army had not yet returned.

The 50,000 troops and horses under Zhong Shidao's command plus Daliang reinforcements were only 100,000. He was unable to stick to all cities and chose to guard Yongxing Army and Qinfeng Road, which was the most inland, which is now Shaanxi.

Daliang has appointed Zhong Shidao as the Grand Marshal, and the western military has also entrusted him with full authority. Chao Yong had previously told Zhong Shidao that he could selectively give up some cities to maintain his strength to resist the Western Xia soldiers and prevent the front line from being too long and being defeated by the Western Xia and the entire northwest fell.

At first, Zhong Shidao was unwilling to give up a city, but when he found Xixia, he armed all the men who could go to the battlefield in his territory, and wanted to plunder the rich Central Plains, and gathered more than 400,000 troops.

When Zhong Shidao heard this number, he immediately gave up the idea of ​​dividing troops to guard the border. He painfully gave up the dozens of cities in Xixia. The resistance of these cities was completely the spontaneous resistance of the Han people who were unwilling to become slaves of the Dangxiang people.
