When returning to the city, the people looked joyful and excited, and they were busy arranging the issue of winter meals.

In this battle, more than 3,000 war horses, many food, gold and silver, weapons, armor, and thousands of tents were seized. Among these materials, the war horses belonged to the Converted Army. Wu Ji was waiting for these war horses to form cavalry and could not be handed over to the people.

Gold, silver, weapons, and armor cannot be given to the people, and Zheng Tai is included in the county government office. The first thing that is sent to the people is the tent. At least half of the houses in the city are destroyed. With the tent, you can avoid the cold and spend the winter. Then, you will be given food and jerky to the people, and the people will have food, and this winter is guaranteed.

After the cleaning was completed, Zheng Tai gave gold and silver to the people. The demolition of the houses received compensation far exceeding expectations. He could build three or five houses like that, and the people were very happy.

The Liao army was fond of plundering, and wherever they passed, they would be in ruins. The Liao army robbed a lot of people's property. On average, the 5,000 Liao army had a total of more than 20,000 taels of silver per person, and all of them were returned to the national treasury.

When the people set up tents, set up stoves, and set up pots. They cooked and cooked meat in the snow and gathered together in groups of three or five, talking about the war, and laughter filled the city.

After a short rest, Wu Ji, Zheng Tai, Huangfu Song and Qi Dabao were slightly restored and gathered together to discuss matters.

"Commander Wu, Liao Gou will not come again, right?" Qi Dabao stared at Wu Ji and asked loudly.

Since the war has been fought, Guixin has killed more than 6,000 Liao troops, and his military achievements are very great. However, the cost is also very high. Guixin Army, the hero of Qiyun Club, Ding Zhuang, had nearly half of the casualties. If the Liao army besieged the city again, no one can be sure whether they can defend Guixin. This is their most concerned issue.

Wu Ji didn't know what would happen to this problem, so he pondered slightly and said, "I don't know this. If Liao Gou sieges the city again, we will definitely not be able to defend it."

"Yes. Liaogou sent five thousand people to us and wiped out all of them. If we siege the city again, there would be at least five thousand people. With our tired army, how could we defend it?" Huangfu Song agreed very much.

Zheng Taiyi looked solemn and said in contemplation: "You can't let Liaogou come and return, otherwise, the city will be broken."

"Commander Wu, think of a solution quickly. Don't let Liao Gou come again." Qi Dabao stared at Wu Ji with hope on his face.

Wu Ji pointed at Qi Dabao angrily: "You are too arrogant to me. How can I make the decision of such a thing? I have to take the Liao army."

Zheng Tai and Huangfu Song both blamed Qi Dabao. No matter how powerful Wu Ji was, he was just a commander. He could only command the Converted Army, but could not control the Liao Army's actions. The two looked at each other and shook their heads.

Qi Dabao was a little dissatisfied: "I really obey you. This is what you are fighting. You must have a way, think about one quickly."

"There is a solution. As long as we defeat the Liao army in Xiongzhou, Liaogou will not send anyone." Zheng Tai spread his hands and said helplessly: "The situation of the battle is unclear now, and we don't know whether Xiongzhou can be defended. Besides, with our little force, even if we want to reinforce Xiongzhou, we are powerless."

Zheng Tai's analysis was completely correct. The army attacking Xiongzhou had 50,000 people, five times the number of Song army in Xiongzhou. Although Xiongzhou's city was tall and thick, no one could tell whether it could be defended.

If Xiongzhou wins, everything is easy to say. If Xiongzhou's war is unfavorable, it will be useless to convert to this power, even if you go to reinforcements.

"But we have thunderbolts." Qi Dabao was still very confident and loudly reminded the three of them: "As long as there is thunderbolts in hand, why should we be afraid of Liaogou?"

"The thunderbolt is very powerful, but its usage is very limited. If the Liaogou is dispersed, it will not be too powerful." Wu Ji couldn't help but shake his head, feeling helpless. This Qi Dafei is true, and his confidence in the thunderbolt is too strong: "Let's rest first and recover before we talk about it."

"Yes, what we need most now is rest. When we have rest and start training cavalry. With cavalry, we don't have to be afraid." Huangfu Song was very excited and almost sang.

Cavalry, the biggest shortcoming of the Song Dynasty, would be great if it could have a good cavalry.

Rest is the most urgent thing at the moment. Wu Ji was really sleepy. He returned to the house and washed up and went to bed. He was really tired when he fought. He fell asleep as soon as he hit the pillow on his head and fell asleep soon.

"Wu Lang, Wu Lang, get up quickly, get up quickly." He was sleeping soundly, and only Yang Xiuxiu's anxious voice came from his ears.

"What's the matter?" Wu Ji was confused, his eyes were not open, and he smacked his lips and asked in a slight voice.

"Mr. Zheng, Lord Huangfu, Lord Zheng is here and said there is something urgent to see you." Yang Xiuxiu hurriedly replied.

"An urgent matter? What an urgent matter?" Wu Ji turned over and fell asleep again.

"Bang!"

With a crisp sound, a slap slapped on his butt, causing a faint pain. Wu Ji suddenly woke up and saw Zheng Tai stretching out his right hand, facing his butt egg.

"Mr. Zheng, you are a scholar, how could you be so rude?" Wu Ji was upset and complained.

"Commander Wu, military information is urgent, offend! Offend!" Zheng Tai smiled, quite embarrassed.

"I have to wear clothes." Wu Ji knew his character, and if there was no big deal, he would definitely not be like this.

"While you wear it, we say it. They are all men, afraid of a bird." Zheng Tai also sweared in her mouth.

Wu Ji was speechless and asked while wearing clothes, "What's the matter?"

"Let the hero Qi say it." Zheng Tai nodded to Qi Dabao.

Qi Dabao looked shocked and said to Wu Ji: "Commander Wu, Xiongzhou is almost lost."

"What? Xiongzhou is almost lost?" Wu Ji's last bit of sleepiness disappeared. He put on his clothes in a few or two, raised his boots and asked, "How is it possible? Xiongzhou City is tall and thick. No matter how many troops the Liao army has, it is impossible for him to conquer Xiongzhou in such a short time."

Xiongzhou is the gateway to the Central Plains, which is crucial. If Xiongzhou is lost, the Liao army can march straight into the Central Plains, the Central Plains will suffer military disasters and the Song Dynasty will suffer heavy casualties. If Xiongzhou is lost, even if Wu Ji is converted to a hundred victories, it will be useless and cannot save the overall situation.

"Commander Wu knows that our Qiyun Club has many branches. I just received the news that Xiongzhou is extremely critical." Qi Dabao frowned and said that he had happened.

This matter starts after Yelu Bodhisattva left Xiongzhou.

After Yelu Ming sent Yelu Bodhisattva to attack again and return, he immediately ordered the Liao army to launch an attack on Xiongzhou. The goose carriages, cloud ladders, and stone throwing machines all showed their power and launched a new round of attacks on Xiongzhou City.

Because the bed crossbow and stone throwing machine were almost destroyed, Zhou Wei could not stop the goose car from approaching. Fortunately, the sword of the enemy was sharp, and the Liao army rushed to the top of the city and fought close together. With the sword of the enemy, it still had the upper hand. The army that rushed into the city was unknown, and all the casualties were killed and wounded.

Despite this, the Liao army's military strength advantage showed its power. Although the Xiongzhou army had the upper hand, it was extremely tired. After all, there were only 10,000 Song troops in Xiongzhou, and even if they took turns to fight, there would not be too much rest time. After a few days of battle, the Song army was extremely tired.

Although the Liao army did not gain the upper hand and the casualties were surprisingly high, they were in good spirits. Everyone was vigorous and gradually gained the upper hand on the city, which was about to drag the Song army down and exhausted.

At this moment, an unexpected situation occurred.

Zhou Wei looked tired and looked at the Liao army who were rushing to the city, frowned. Lin Hong came to him and whispered: "General, you have to find a way to destroy the Liao Gou's goose cart, otherwise we will not be able to defend it."

The Xiongzhou Army's bed crossbow and stone throwing machine were basically destroyed. There was no way to get the goose cart. The Liao army rushed up through the goose cart. The Xiongzhou Army killed one, and the Liao army came with a pair, and the more they killed it. If the goose cart was not destroyed, the consequences would be very serious and the Song army would eventually be dragged down. By then, Xiongzhou would be over.

But how easy is it to destroy the goose cart?

The goose cart is strong, not afraid of water splashing, not afraid of fire attack, and cannot be smashed. Even if it is a bed crossbow or a stone throwing machine, it is not easy to deal with the goose cart, not to mention that the Xiongzhou Army’s bed crossbow and stone throwing machine are gone.

"How to destroy it? If it could be destroyed, it would have been destroyed long ago." Zhou Wei was very angry and said, "You are talking nonsense."

"General, you forgot that we have another weapon." Lin Hong rubbed his brows: "Didn't Brother Wu sell us some thunder bullets? Although I didn't use it to kill the enemy, it wouldn't be too bad in terms of killing the enemy."

He didn't believe in thunderbolts, but in these days, the Xiongzhou Army relied on the sharpness of the enemy's sword to resist the Liao army for so many days, and his confidence in Wu Ji increased.

"Pi Lie Bomb, can that work?" Zhou Wei then remembered that Wu Ji sold him hundreds of thunderbolts, which were quite powerful and could blow up a tree. But is it really that effective?

"General, why not try it." Lin Hong gave an idea: "If there is no way to kill the goose cart, Xiongzhou is very likely to be thrown away. Instead of doing this, it is better to try it, and kill the dead horse as a living horse."

"It makes sense. Then give it a try." Zhou Wei didn't have much confidence and asked Lin Hong to take out all the thunderbolts.

Looking at the hundreds of thunderbolt bullets, Zhou Wei kept thinking, is this useful? Can it really come in handy?

The war was at this point, so I couldn't care about it, so I could only try it. He ordered the Song army to kill the Liao army, then ignite the lead line, and throw the thunderbolt bomb onto the goose cart. After a loud bang, the goose cart just shook and did not have much effect.

"It's useless! It's useless!" Zhou Wei was greatly disappointed.

"General, the outside of the goose cart is covered with iron, which is the most solid. It is not so difficult inside. Let's try to blow it inside." Lin Hongxin was unwilling.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Wei felt right and ordered the Song army to throw a thunderbolt bomb into the goose cart. After a loud bang, a lot of damage appeared in the goose cart.

"It's useful." Zhou Weibi's eyes lit up and he shouted loudly: "Twist more."

He reached out and grabbed a thunderbolt bullet, ignited the lead, and threw it into the goose cart. After a loud bang, the damage became more and more serious. Zhou Wei's confidence became more and more. Under his command, he threw more than ten in, and the goose cart's hair began to tilt and fell down.

"Bang!"
