Looking at the shaking city wall, Jia Kui said sternly: "Don't be anxious, knock down the city wall and then enter the army! There are only hundreds of Khitan soldiers in Lingqiu City. As long as the city is broken, they cannot resist the army!"

The artillery on one side obeyed the order and quickly loaded the cannons with ammunition and bombarded again.

As the mountains came all the way, Jia Kui's army did not bring heavy artillery, only light artillery. Although Lingqiu City was broken, it still bombed for a long time, and finally a gap was blasted in the south of the city. The Song army could no longer hold back, and someone was about to rush into the gap.

Jia Kui stopped everyone and ordered the artillery to bomb a few more artillery pieces to completely open the gap. After blasting the city wall, the Song army rushed in, and the sound of killing was shocked by the sky for a moment.

Looking back at the sun in the sky, Jia Kui felt indescribable. Now the weapons of the army have changed, and the situation of fighting has also changed. Whenever it comes to charging, it is no longer the main general in front, but the rear. As a brave general, Jia Kui, who has accumulated merits and has become today, sometimes feels unaccustomed to it, and occasionally misses the past.

Lingqiu City cannot be attacked. The difficulty is to rush to the city. When you get to the city, everything will be simple. There are only hundreds of Khitan soldiers in the city, and the city is broken. Even light cannons can knock down the city walls. Everything is natural, as if it is like this.

As it was almost evening, the Song army had completely occupied the city, and the Khitan soldiers were either killed or injured, and were wiped out. Jia Kui did not interrogate the Khitan generals, but ordered them to be taken into custody. When the flying fox arrived, these prisoners would deal with them together. How to deal with them? Jia Kui had a clear idea of ​​the attack on the Western Regions with Du Zhongxiao. It was nothing more than to do it, to pave the road, or build the city, and to disrupt the division of various places after a few years.

In fact, many of these Khitans were originally Han people, who were wandering in foreign lands for various reasons and had long forgotten their identities. By the time they had been in the Song Dynasty for decades, they were Song people. Many people would not get used to the Song people when they arrived in the Khitan territory, especially in nomadic areas. However, after the Khitans entered the Song Dynasty, few of them were not used to it. Most people could adapt to the environment quickly.

When they arrived at the official hall, Jia Kui sat down and his subordinates came to visit.

Jia Kui said: "After breaking through Lingqiu City, the road to Feihu will be even more difficult. Walking along the river valley, it is very rugged, and you can't get a car, so you can only rely on your shoulders to carry the horses. The pack animals brought by Daizhou have lost a lot of money these days. It's just that the court has made a destiny, so we must not delay at all. After going down Lingqiu, we must immediately march towards Feihu. Therefore, a thousand soldiers are left in Lingqiu, and all the materials and carousels in the rear will rest here. The rest of the people will go tomorrow and take the flying fox directly. Everyone, only if we occupy the flying fox, our battle will be considered successful."

Hao Zhi said: "Taiwei, we have been walking hard these days. We might as well rest in Lingqiu City for a few days, so we will not miss anything."

Jia Kui shook his head: "The Privy Council is strict and there is no delay before occupying the flying fox, otherwise the military law will be carried out. No matter how difficult it is, we must persist. When the flying fox is captured, it will not be too late for everyone to rest."

After saying that, Zhou Jin, the commander of the second division, said: "Your troops are the pioneers and you will go ahead tomorrow. The food, grass and supplies are all arranged by yourself. I will lead the first division to follow up and there will be no delays."

Zhou Jin sang promise with his hands.

Jia Kui looked at everyone and said, "We have seen it in the battle of Lingqiu. As long as we arrive, the Khitan defenders do not have any combat power. The most important thing in this battle is how fast we go and how long we spend to get to Feihu City. There is no need to worry about the Khitan defenders, the Khitan soldiers and tens of thousands of soldiers attacking Dingzhou, and are now surrounded in Quyang City, and Feihu is empty. As long as we can arrive, Feihu City is ours!"

The generals sang their promises with their hands, and they were proud of their righteousness.

For the Song Dynasty and the Khitan, the flying fox is the most important place now. It is more important to the Song Dynasty than to the Khitan. As long as the flying fox is captured, the Song Dynasty cut off the connection between Youzhou and Yunzhou and can concentrate on attacking a place.

The Khitan gathered heavy troops in Youzhou, and did not pay special attention to Feihu and other places, and did not strengthen defense. Jia Kui suddenly sent troops from Daizhou, which was beyond the expectations of the Khitan. However, in this era, it was several days after the Khitan received the news, and there was no time to mobilize troops to defend. As long as Jia Kui could lead the army to quickly reach Feihu City, Feihu would be at his fingertips.

Only when Jia Kui captured the Feihu could the Song Dynasty make the determination to fight the Khitan in Youzhou, which is because this place is too important. If the Feihu Road cannot be cut off, the Khitan army could retreat from here to Yunzhou or even return to the grassland at any time. The roads were complicated and it would be difficult for the Song Dynasty to completely block it.

In Quyang City, Yelu Tie did not gather with Yelu Liang and other generals in the official hall, while drinking, while discussing the war. A personal soldier ran in quickly and crossed his hands and said, "King, the news I just received is that the Song army has captured Lingqiu and is heading towards the flying fox!"

Yelu Tie was not surprised: "Where did you send troops? The Song army gathered its troops on Hebei Road, where could there be troops attacking Feihu?"

The personal soldier said: "I don't know who led the troops yet, but the Song army came from Daizhou and had a lot of people."

Yelu Ti stopped listening and said coldly: "How many are there? After losing Lingqiu, can't you find out how many people there are in the Song army?"

The personal soldiers said: "The entire Lingqiu was almost wiped out, and the Song army was walking on the mountain road, and the number of people was really unknown."

Yelu Liang said: "King, is it Jia Kui, the Song army from Daizhou? The troops on Hedong Road were in the north, and it was difficult for Wang Kai to go south. However, Jia Kui has been stationed in Shuozhou. If he transfers to Daizhou, it will be very convenient."

Yelu Tie frowned when he refused to listen: "The Song army did not have many soldiers on Hedong Road. If Jia Kui sent troops, wouldn't Hedong Road be empty?"

Yelu Liang shook his head: "This dynasty has only tens of thousands of people on Xijing Road, and the Song Dynasty has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, which is enough to defend. If Jia Kui has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, if there are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, there will be no soldiers to stop him."

Yelu Tie still doesn't believe it. According to previous impressions, the Khitans had tens of thousands of people in Xijing Road, and the Song Dynasty should have arranged more than 100,000 people to defend. If there were fewer troops, the Khitan cavalry could move quickly, and it would be difficult to defend. According to the information obtained by the Khitan, the Song Dynasty's troops on Hedong Road were 50,000 people from Wang Kai in the north, and then Jia Kui in the south. Once Jia Kui left, could Hedong Road defend the Khitan?

He ordered his personal soldiers to go out, but Yelu posted: "The Flying Hu Road in Lingqiu is in the mountains, and the transportation is inconvenient, which is not conducive to the walking of the army. Even if the Song army captured Lingqiu, there may not be many soldiers. The Flying Hu has more than 2,000 people, and he got the news early, so he should not lose it."

Yelu Liang said: "King, Feihu is the retreat of our army. If there is any loss, we will not be able to go back!"

Yelu Tie was stunned for a moment and said, "Now the Song army is outside the city. We always have to fight to the death and wipe out them all. Since we have sent troops, how can we withdraw our troops without making a contribution? So what if we lose the flying fox? Let's go to Yizhou."

Yelu Liang said: "King, go to Yizhou to pass through Baozhou. Not only are there heavy troops there, but the Song Dynasty has already strengthened its walls and cleared the fields. How can our tens of thousands of troops go? I have fought with the Song army several times in the past few days, but I have no victory. How easy is it to wipe out the Song army outside the city? If the flying fox cannot defend it, we will be completely surrounded by the Song army. At that time, there is no way to heaven and no way to enter the earth, so what should we do?"
