Solid shells fell on the ice one after another, some smashed a large crater on the ice, some pierced directly into the seawater, and some bounced on the ice, splashing ice slag in all directions. The Liao army was caught off guard, thousands of men and horses were in chaos, people turned on their backs, and all the units galloped desperately towards the shore, with the sound of shells whistling, shouting for help, the neighing of war horses, and the noisy shouting of small shouts. However, the running of countless men and horses and the constant bombardment of solid cannonballs, the roar that gradually began to echo under the entire ice surface, as if a sleeping beast was about to wake up, and was emitting a low roar from the depths of its throat, and like a muffled thunder from the depths of the sea. In the midst of these muffled sounds, there was an occasional crunch, which was the sudden explosion of cracks in the ice. The cracks, which were faint at first, grew more and more, and grew longer and faster, and gradually, the explosions of "click-", "click-click", "click-click-" came and went, replacing the dull thunder, and even on the ice where the cannon roared and the people neighed.

"The ice is shattering-" "The ice is exploding-" "Run-"

Running in panic intensified the cracking of the ice, the crisp cracking sound became louder and louder, cracks appeared on the ice, and the biting sea water quickly surged onto the ice, with the movement of the center of gravity of the people and horses on the sea ice, more sea water swelled up, and the original small cracks gradually turned into wide cracks, like open huge mouths, devouring the Liao soldiers and horses who had no time to escape.

Xiao Tachi looked at the continuous flashes on the sea, it was the gunboat of the Xia Kingdom Naval Division firing, and his face became distorted with anger. Countless Liao infantry cavalry were desperately retreating northward. The camp in Guannan was attacked by the Han army, and there were not many men and horses in the dark, and after panicked resistance, all the Liao troops began to flee north. In the dark night of Nanshan City, the light of the iron barrel cannon fire flashed and flickered, and countless heavy shells were thrown far away. The Liao army, which fled north through the east and west sides of the city, suffered heavy casualties. However, the cruelty of the Han army had already cast a shadow of fear in the hearts of the Liao army. The Liao army would rather flee under dense artillery fire than stay in Suzhou Guannan as a prisoner. The roads on both sides of Nanshan City are narrow, and in the darkness, tens of thousands of horses and horses are crammed together and desperately run wildly, and there are not many people and horses trampling on each other. The frightened Khitan cavalry desperately urged the horses, but in just a few miles, many horses stumbled and died. There were even more Khitan cavalry that bypassed Nanshan City, continued to bypass the Liao army camp in the north, and retreated towards Liaoyang.

A group of Liao generals rushed to Xiao Tachi's side after taking the lead, and when they saw this situation, they all looked at each other. Guo Baoyi, the deputy capital commander, was full of gloom. Since the destruction of the wooden shield cannon, the Liao army has been storming Nanshan City for several days, resulting in heavy casualties. Night fighting is a taboo for soldiers, and rushing to fight is a taboo. The Han army has obviously been planning for a long time, if Xiao Tachi is not angry and is attacked by a sneak attack, and forces the army to attack Nanshan City, or even forcibly counterattacks Suzhou Guannan through the place where it is being bombarded by artillery, I don't know how many casualties will be caused?

The camp in Kannan burned so brightly that it could be seen clearly even from Nanshan Castle. Xiao Tachi was silent for a long time, and the firelight reflected his face flickering, and finally said slowly: "The former military camp received the retreat of the men and horses in Guannan, and the armies were in strict formation, and the thieves were on guard to attack the big camp by taking advantage of the situation. ”

Guo Baoyi, Xiao Yixue and several other generals secretly breathed a sigh of relief. In such a defeat, everyone was not in a good mood, and they went down to urge the army, the cavalry got on guard on horseback, and the infantry army guarded the camp. Xiao Tachi sent another cavalry army to contain the soldiers who had dispersed back to Guanbei, but this time, he did not mention the matter of military punishment.

"Boom-" "Boom-"

In the dark night, it was impossible to aim accurately, and the gunners on the sailors' gunboats on the sea only put their guns roughly toward the shore and loaded and fired their guns as quickly as possible. Even so, seeing that the Liao army in Guannan continued to flee back to the north, Li Sihai kept urging, "Hurry, hurry, hurry-" The gunners immediately ignited after filling their ammunition. In the roar of the cannons, the hull of one of the gunboats shook violently, and it was not long before the bilge suddenly found that the sea water was constantly pouring up from below, and the ship was immediately in chaos.

"The bilge is leaking!" "The ship is broken!"

Just look at the speed of the seawater gushing out, but I am afraid that the broken gaps are not small and cannot be blocked. When the officers decided to abandon ship, the sailors climbed onto the deck one by one like rats, and the sides of the ship quickly lowered the dinghy. In full view of the other four gunboats, the abandoned ship slowly sank into the icy water. By this time, it was already getting dark.

"His grandmother's," Li Sihai was so angry that he slammed the railing, "What kind of broken ship is the Ordnance Division building!" ”

On the deck of the remaining gunboat, the sailors who had just risen from the water shivered. One of them was pale from the cold, his lips were purple, and he shivered in the cold wind with a blanket. The eyes of the other sailors were all towards the battlefield on the shore, but he looked at the ship of the Han army not far away, revealing a complicated gaze, a little scorching and a little painful. When he saw Li Sihai's figure in Diaodou, he slightly pulled the blanket on his head.

Chen Kang sneaked to Liaodong without telling everyone. When he heard the news of the Liao army's siege of Suzhou Guannan, he was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, but in the ordinary military report, it was only mentioned that the Han army marshal's mansion retreated to Tieshan, and did not distinguish the title of Tieshan Island and Tieshan Fort, Chen Kang always thought that Han Ningshuang stayed in Tieshan Fort. He was familiar with military books and knew the situation of the Han army and Suzhou well, and he thought that Han Ningshuang was trapped in Tieshan Fort because he was in a desperate situation, so he became more and more worried. As the prince of the vassal king, he was not allowed to leave the fiefdom without permission, so he used some means, left a letter, and left Kangguo to avoid the eyes and ears of the left and right.

For the imperial court, the prince of the vassal king gave a fief for a woman, which is simply a fantasy. In particular, Chen Kang became the son of King Kang as a son of the Chen family, which was promoted by the Protectorate Mansion, the Prime Minister's Mansion and the General's Mansion. The nobles of Kangguo, including Kang Deming, the captain of the Protectorate Mansion, have always had some knots. If this matter is solved, the whole river may be inextricable. When the Military Intelligence Department learned about it, it immediately sealed the news tightly, and only said that Kang Guoshizi was seriously ill and needed to recuperate indoors. The Military Intelligence Department only secretly informed Li Sihai, and as soon as he saw Chen Kang, he was immediately arrested and escorted back to Kangguo for further disposal. This is also the reason why Chen Kang was able to travel south, and even boarded the ship of the sailor as a royal messenger.

The east gradually revealed a thousand rays of light, and only a ruin was left in the camp of the Liao army in Guannan, and the corpses of the Liao soldiers and horses were scattered nearby, many of which died in the trampling of each other. On the sea west of Nanshan City, there are countless broken ice floes and corpses. Most of the Liao army fled back to Guanbei, the sea ice had been completely destroyed, the sailors had somehow sunk a ship, and the night's battle gradually ended in chaos.

Han Ningshuang was dressed in a cyan coat, and landed again surrounded by the generals of the Han army, and the lion's mouth wharf at the foot of Lao Tie Mountain had been cleared, and hundreds of Han soldiers were waiting on the wharf. Han Ningshuang looked at Nanshan City not far away, turned around and laughed in a low voice, "Are you in a hurry?" A flush appeared on Li Ruoxue's face. She was wearing the costume of a soldier of the Han army, although others could see that it was a woman at a glance, but a woman appeared next to Han Ningshuang, and the generals of the Han army were not surprised.

When Han Ningshuang returned to Tieshan Fort, the cyan Qilin banner was hung up again on the top of Lao Tie Mountain. Although the Tieshan Fort captured by the Liao army was a dangerous place that was easy to defend and difficult to attack, however, there was a secret passage in the Tieshan Fort for the leaders of the Han army to escape, but even the Liao army, including Han Qian, did not know. Last night, after the Han army attacked and broke through the Guannan camp of the Liao army, only one part of the men and horses were divided, and they captured the Tieshan Fort through the secret passage. Because most of the Liao troops stationed in the fort attacked Tieshan Fort and killed many Han soldiers, there were almost no prisoners left in this battle. As with the Liao army's capture of Tieshan Fort, the Han army threw the enemy's corpses directly from the cliff into the sea.

In the flank and rear of Nanshan City, the Han army that had landed was rushing to repair various fortifications, although the melting sea ice made it difficult for the Liao army to gain a foothold in Suzhou Guannan, but it was still necessary to guard against the surprise attack of the Liao army's light cavalry. Gao Bolong led more than 2,000 horsemen to stand guard next to the fort. When the Han troops in each camp saw the cyan unicorn banner, they all burst into huge cheers.
