At this time, the war was competing with the national strength of the Song and Liao countries. Because it was autumn, time passed quickly. The Chinese New Year was about to come. The army of the Song Dynasty not only did not stop, but began to accelerate its attack. This was something that the Liao people were puzzled. After all, when the end of the year was approaching, the soldiers' war-weariness would increase exponentially, and their homesickness became stronger. However, the Song Dynasty's army continued to speed up its pace and gathered towards the Xijin Prefecture, as if it was not caring at all. This posture seemed to be inevitable for the Xijin Prefecture!

Yelu Zongzhen had already received the frontline battle report, and the anger in his heart was about to ignite his body. The heavy breathing sound could be heard clearly in the entire palace of Shangjing.

The ministers of the Liao Dynasty knelt on the ground and shivered. Although His Majesty's reputation of being generous and generous is not inferior to that of the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, being with the king is like a tiger. The more generous and generous he is, the more terrifying he becomes. He lost tens of thousands of elite soldiers in the battle of the Liao Dynasty in Western Xia, and even the Khitan nobles were captured by Li Yuanhao. His Majesty barely escaped under the protection of the cavalry of the imperial tent. This was a great humiliation. Unexpectedly, the Song Dynasty's troops were invaded by the northern expedition, causing the Liao Dynasty to suffer heavy damage one after another!

What is even more amazing is the combat ability of the Song people. The defeated generals who escaped from Feihu City were all proclaiming along the way that the Song Dynasty had the help of the gods, and the attack on the city and the village was only in a blink of an eye. In order to cover up their incompetence, these damn idiots even used ghosts and gods to cover up their incompetence!

Yelu Zongzhen relieved the anger in his heart, turned to Yelu Zongxin who was kneeling on the hall and said, "Pick the stone, you are the deputy general in Feihu City. Can you tell the whole story of Feihu City breaking? Come quickly!"

Yelu Zongxin sighed slightly when he saw the emperor calling his nickname, which showed that the emperor did not intend to punish him. After bowing, he bowed and said recalling: "This time the Song people's invasion is different from the past. They are well prepared and advance and retreat in an orderly manner, let alone under the command of the Emperor of the Song Dynasty! The soldiers of the Song army were far more fighting than usual, and..."

"Yelu Zongxin, are you making excuses for your failure?! You are still Yelu Longyun's son, but you are ashamed of him like a jackal! Why did Yelu Ying die in battle but you come back in a hurry? Could it be that you can't escape at the last battle?!"

A sarcastic voice sounded, and the unpleasant words came towards Yelu Zongxin like swords. He was the most loved by the emperor and many people were already jealous. Why was his descendants of the Han people more favored than the Khitan nobles? Is it because Empress Xiao and Han Delang once lived in the tent, lie down and get up together, and eat together?

At this time, Yelu Zongzhen began to have a little doubt in his heart, but after all, Yelu Zongxin was the young talent he valued the most, and Empress Dowager Xiao was even his grandmother, how could he be attacked like this?

"Stop, you have to listen to what Bashi said. He is the only general who has participated in defending the city in Feihu City, and the only general who knows the power of the Great Song Dynasty! Who can say it clearly except him?!"

Yelu Zongzhen's words made many people who were still planning to attack shut up in disappointment. It seemed that the emperor's favoritism towards Yelu Zongxin was more than a little...

Yelu Zongxin bowed again and said, "It's understandable that I have withdrawn, but I have withdrawn, but I have withdrawn, but I have escaped. At that time, the army of the Song Dynasty had collapsed the southern wall of Feihu City. The warriors of the Liao Dynasty raised their swords and fought to fight but no one retreated. The same was true for me and the guardian Yelu Ying. But in the final danger, the guardian Yelu Ying ordered me to withdraw, and explained the battle report of Feihu City to Your Majesty truthfully, otherwise I would definitely not retreat!"

The generous words and the stimulating voices made people have to believe what he said. At this time, Yelu Zongxin was already angry and red in his eyes. This was the affliction in the heart of the grassland man. Anyone could see that he was holding back the pain in his heart and said.

Yelu Zongzhen had been conquered by Yelu Zongxin's performance and sighed slightly, "I have suffered from pulling out the stone... Where is Yelu Ying?"

Speaking of Yelu Ying, Yelu Zongxin's face turned pale. When he recalled the tragic situation of Yelu Ying who was about to escape with him, he said in a trembling voice: "It was cracked by the Great Song Cannon Stone!"

There was an uproar in the hall... being cracked by cannon stones? What does it mean? At most, I was killed by cannon stones on the battlefield. I have never heard of anyone being cracked by cannon stones...

Seeing everyone's uproar, the emperor's eyes showed surprise. Yelu Zongxin said with a pale face: "You have never seen the power of the Great Song Cannon Stone. When you enter the God of Heaven, it is like thunder, and the cannon stones fly, and it is a hundred meters in a while. The house collapses, the houses collapse, the masts and oars are split into pieces, and people are made of flesh mud... It is this unheard of equipment that has caused many cities on Nanjing Road to fall and change their owners in a flash!"

His words surprised many people in the hall. After his previous performances, many people thought that what he said would not be false, but this does not mean that he would believe him 100%. According to his description, this is no different from the power of the gods. Could it be that those defeated soldiers are true? But this is too ridiculous!

Yelu Zongzhen asked in surprise: "What kind of equipment is so powerful? Have you seen it?"

Yelu Zongxin shook his head and said, "I haven't seen it..."

There was an uproar in the morning. You just kept saying how powerful the Song Dynasty's siege equipment was, but now you said you didn't see it? Many people showed disbelief expressions, and after all, they were just making up excuses for their incompetence!

Amid the doubts in the court, Yelu Zongxin said: "Although I have not seen the real thing, I have seen the cannon stones and asked my personal soldiers to bring them all the way back. Please allow me to present them in the hall!"

The doubts in the hall were rejected, and Yelu Zongxin brought the things with him, which means that this statement is true. Combined with the statement of the defeated soldiers, there will definitely be no falsehood. After all, no one will accompany him, Yelu Zongxin and lie.

Yelu Zongzhen nodded and said, "Come on! I want to see what the Song Dynasty can use to destroy the city walls of my Great Liao!"

When the guards appeared with a round iron lump in their arms, they burst into laughter. How capable can such a small thing be? Not to mention destroying the city wall, even ordinary courtyard walls may not be able to be broken!

Yelu Zongzhen pointed to the iron shell and said to Yelu Zongxin: "It's this little thing?" Seeing him nodding to affirm, he asked Xiao Hui again: "King Han, can this thing have such great power?"

Even Yelu Zongzhen didn't believe how much damage this small iron ball could cause to Feihu City, and he began to doubt what Yelu Zongxin said.

Xiao Hui led his troops to fight for many years. Although he failed in the battle of Xixia, he still had the most common military affairs. He took the iron ball and looked at it and frowned and said, "If you use a stone throwing cart, it should be more powerful than an ordinary stone bullet, but it is not enough to collapse the city wall..."

Yelu Zongxin interrupted: "It's not the case. When the Song people fired cannon stones, they were accompanied by a huge roar, and the sound was like drought thunder and shocked the sky! And this was just a smaller cannon stone, and there were larger and heavier ones like the size of a cold melon, which was even more amazing!"
