Zheng Zhi naturally didn't know what was happening in Cangzhou. He was discussing matters in the big tent at this time. He was gathered one by one and was slightly spliced ​​by Zheng Zhi and hung it on a wooden shelf.

There were more than a dozen major military generals in the tent, including Li Gang, Wu Yong, Zhu Wu, Pei Xuan and others.

Zheng Zhi stared at the map for a moment and asked, "Yelu Dashi's problem must be solved first. Do you have any good ideas?"

"Brother, what's the problem with this? He is in the camp in the north of the city, so we will send troops to attack." Lu Da said.

Wu Yong said after hearing this: "General Lu thought too simply. The camp is just a residence. Yelu Dashi will not wait for us to attack in the camp. As long as we send troops, the thousands of cavalry will definitely get on their horses and escape. When we attack the city, they will definitely come back."

"Feed away? Then go chase him and drive him out hundreds of miles. When he attacks the city, he will not be able to come back." Luda said again.

Wu Yong shook his head and replied: "General Lu, all our cavalry are out, and there are only more than 7,000, and there are still 5,000 Cangzhou cavalry. If all seven thousand cavalry are chasing, if they are ambushed, or the enemy will be defeated in a fight, there will be no way to deal with them. Yelu Dashi is even more confident, and the cavalry can be unscrupulous outside my camp."

Wu Yong's words were naturally cautious and reasonable. If Zheng Zhi had no cavalry, he would be completely passive against Yelu Dashi. Even retreating was extremely dangerous. A few Jurchens could defeat the Liao army because the Liao army was constantly chasing and blocking them by the Jurchen cavalry when they retreated.

"Scholars, how can you make others angry and destroy your own prestige? Before you chase them, you say you will be defeated. Are the cavalry of the Liao people stronger than the cavalry of the Sa family?" Lu Da was a little unhappy when he heard this.

Seeing Lu Da's appearance, Zheng Zhi spoke, "The plan for a war must be to defeat first and then win. This is the stability. The Liao cavalry is not very strong, but the Liao cavalry is not weaker than us. It is not advisable to divide the troops and take risks. Although we have more than 100,000 troops, there are new recruits in the army who have never been on the battlefield, and there are many mobs in the prefecture. These infantry must not be exposed to the horse hooves of the enemy cavalry, otherwise the consequences will be unpredictable when rushing to the formation. If a large-scale defeat is unimaginable, it is unimaginable. Therefore, the cavalry should not stay away from the military formation. The solution to Yelu Dashi must be based on a long-term plan."

Zheng Zhi obviously had a deep understanding of the problem. Although he seemed to have an advantage at this time, he could not slack off easily. As Zheng Zhi said, Yelu Dashi must not lead the cavalry to attack his infantry formation. These soldiers from the prefectures were not reliable. If they fled on a large scale under the horse's hooves, it would inevitably cause a serious chain reaction. I am afraid that even the new recruits in Cangzhou would be affected and an irreversible situation. This is the case with Tong Guan's defeat in history.

Yelu Dashi's idea was probably that. When Zheng Zhi attacked the city, the cavalry rushed from the flank or rear army into the infantry formation.

Even at this time, Zheng Zhi did not dare to let them face the enemy's iron hoofs. This is a question of confidence on the battlefield. After the victory of this battle, confidence was established. With the support of the backbone of the military generals, Zheng Zhi dared to be assured to let these soldiers face a more tragic military formation. Otherwise, once defeated, tens of thousands of newly trained recruits would not be able to be used in great use. The first idea of ​​going to the battle again was probably how to save your life.

At this time, Zheng Zhi seemed to have more than 100,000 troops under his command, but the one who could really rely on was the thousands of knights under his command. From this perspective, Zheng Zhi and Yelu Dashi were actually of equal strength.

When Lu Da heard Zheng Zhi's words, his face looked much better and said, "Brother, that Yelu Dashi is in the north of the city, only four or five miles away from us. How can he let him be free in the camp every day?"

Zheng Zhi heard this, and he immediately said, "Lu Da's words are just a point. Yelu Dashi is too close to us, and he will know every move we make immediately. He will drive him away first, so that we can have room for planning."

Wu Yong heard the words and seemed to understand them, and said, "Your Majesty is such a good word."

Looking at Zheng Zhi again, he said, "Beat the drum and gather the generals, and 50,000 iron armored troops in Cangzhou are arranged in an array. All the cavalry gathered and followed someone to the north of the city to attack Yelu Dashi Camp. The rest of the soldiers in the prefecture guard the camp."

When Lu Da heard this, he looked happy. He had been in Zhuozhou for a few days and finally began to gather troops. Lu Da obviously waited for a long time.

When the drums were heard loudly, there were commands everywhere, and military soldiers gathered together.

Yelu Dashi naturally received the news, and immediately blew horns and drums, and thousands of cavalrymen were on horseback and gathered together in an instant.

Nearly half an hour later, Zheng Zhi got on his horse and led more than 10,000 knights to the north, and tens of thousands of iron-armored soldiers walked around the city north.

After the camp in the north of the city, the camp was empty, and Yelu Dashi was no longer trapped in the camp, but instead lined up his troops by the river.

Obviously Yelu Dashi also knew that if 7,000 people were placed in the camp to defend, they would definitely lose, and getting on the horse was the right choice.

Zheng Zhi looked at Yelu Dashi in the distance, smiling. Obviously, the scene in front of him was also expected. If Yelu Dashi was trapped in the camp, Zheng Zhi would be surprised.

"Carry a war formation and wait for the order." Zheng Zhi said, and more than 10,000 cavalrymen on both sides quickly arranged the queue, waiting for Zheng Zhi to give the order.

Most of the Mi and the cavalrymen in Rongli were waiting intently, and the more than 2,000 Western cavalry around Zheng Zhi also repeatedly comforted the restless horses.

However, there were five thousand Cangzhou cavalry. When they sat on horses, most of them had white faces and trembling arms. In the battle, they were fighting for the first time. In such a critical occasion, people's will seemed insignificant. No one could achieve a normal mentality.

At this time, many generals in the cavalry kept shouting back and forth, inspiring the new recruits and encouraging morale.

Yelu Dashi also stood intently, watching the Song army formation in the distance.

A military general around him asked, "Lin Ya, look at the soldiers on both wings of the Song people. Those military generals kept clamoring in front of the formation. I think the two wings are not elite, and they can attack the enemy on both wings and win!"

Yelu Dashi shook his head and said, "It's not time to take risks at this time. The previous Dangxiang cavalry had very good combat power. There were still tens of thousands of iron-armored infantry behind these cavalry. You should not take risks. Our Daliao no longer has room for adventure. If the enemy charges, we retreat along the river. When the enemy attacks the city, it is the time for us to rush forward."

The general nodded, his face full of sadness. What was sad was what Yelu Dashi said, "I, Daliao, have no room for adventure." It was too naked. If this battle was defeated, Yanjing would be attacked by the north and south, and the Liao Kingdom would be destroyed from then on.

Yelu Dashi might also feel sad at this time, and he was sad that the clever woman could not cook without rice. If there were tens of thousands of troops in his hand at this time, he would not be so frustrated. Just line up and wait, and it would be no problem to beat the drum and charge.

For Yelu Dashi, he would probably rather go north to fight the Jurchens than south to fight the Song Dynasty. Unfortunately, Yelu Dashi is still too young now. Before Yelu Chun ascended the throne, the Liao Kingdom had no room for him to speak. It was not until he supported Yelu Chun ascended the throne that Yelu Dashi truly entered the center of power for the first time. If Yelu Dashi had been born ten years ago and entered the center of power as soon as possible, the Liao Kingdom might have become like this.

The iron-armored infantry in Cangzhou had arrived behind him, and Zheng Zhi was also waiting for them. Zheng Zhi said, "Split 20,000 infantry into the camp and guard the camp. Let these Liao people sleep in the mountains and forests."

The camp in the north of the city was originally built by Mizhenwu and Ronglide. At this time, no matter how many soldiers and soldiers were involved, they returned to their hands. After 20,000 infantrymen were stationed, they wanted to occupy the camp.

Zheng Zhi also expected that Yelu Dashi would not attack this camp. Yelu Dashi's only chance was to wait until Zheng Zhi launched a large-scale attack on the city. Attacking the camp would only increase losses and would also be attacked by Zheng Zhi's cavalry.

Yelu Dashi saw countless Song Dynasty infantrymen starting to enter the camp, frowned, and said, "After all, this Zheng Zhi is extraordinary. Let's go, go west."

Yelu Dashi probably expected Zheng Zhi's actions in his heart, and after confirming it, he also sighed. If Yelu Dashi had stood from Zheng Zhi's perspective, he would have arranged this way. The two of them obviously had a bit of a hero's love for each other, but Yelu Dashi seemed a little sad.

Zheng Zhi saw that Yelu Dashi had already turned around in the distance, and immediately ordered: "Luda, take Mi and Chengli to chase him, only thirty miles, not deep. After thirty miles, you can go back and leave the scouts and cavalry to monitor him."

After hearing this, Lu Da bowed his hand and drove away, ordering his troops to leave. He had already gone out with five or six thousand cavalrymen and chased Yelu Dashi along the river.

When Lu Da led his troops away, Wu Yong suddenly walked to the front and spoke, "Your Majesty is afraid that General Lu will be ambushed by the enemy. Can we also ambush Yelu Dashi?"

Zheng Zhi was shocked when he heard this and said, "Let's go back to the map of the big tent to discuss."

There was no fight in Zhuozhou. However, a great war had begun on the road to Cangzhou.

Cai You shouted hysterically, and the dozens of horse-beating guards in front of him dared not be negligent. He also shouted and rushed forward.

More than a thousand soldiers rushed forward as well.

The whole room was filled with shouts of killing.

"Run!!!"

"kill!!!"

The momentum is really big.

Old Hu sounded the arrows together, and the rain of arrows in the air had already been fired. Even the knight with only one arm pulled the bow, put the arrow on his mouth, and then adjusted the position of the arrow with his chin and fired in the air.

The two sides were too close. After a rain of arrows, the horse's hooves were thriving. Lao Hu took the lead with a spear and walked towards Cai You's guards who were racing.

This is no longer known how many times Lao Hu has fought against the army in his life, but it is the first time Lao Hu has fought against the Song Dynasty's official army.

The guards on the opposite side are also people who practice martial arts, but their riding skills are not good, they can only be considered as riding horses. In Tokyo, they travel with Cai You or guarding the house and guarding the yard, this is the first time they really fought a horse and rushed forward.

As soon as the two sides contacted each other, the judgement was made immediately. Lao Hu flew out with a long spear, and the timing and speed were perfectly matched. A man had fallen under the horse's hooves. There seemed to be no strange things about the speed of the horse, the angle of the weapon and the timing, but after decades of skillful experience, it was obviously not something that could be achieved by practicing martial arts on the plain.

These old men were all fighting for life. A few months ago, most of them fought with Zheng Zhi to the north and south. During this period, they ate well and slept soundly. Although they were mostly white-haired, their strength and skills of killing remained unabated.

As soon as the two sides contacted each other, they turned their backs. The people who were still underestimating these old men in front of their heads had already paid a heavy price.

Only a few people who are truly considered to be powerful in martial arts have knocked down one or two old men in iron armor while evading.

Lao Hu had already rushed into the infantry, rushed left and right to kill, and faced these mobs, there was really no enemy in one gang.

A few Cai You's guards rushed out of the formation by chance, and were shocked. They really didn't expect that these old men would have such combat power and hurriedly turned around, for fear that Cai You on the other side would have a few big and two shorts.

But at this moment, a knight rushed over on the road, with a slender figure, and said in a whisper: "Don't turn around, and take a knife from my aunt!"

This sweet voice had already revealed the identity of the visitor, and it was Dulonggang Yizhang Qinghu Sanniang!

Hu Sanniang saw a long sword on her left and right hands. Although it was not the Sun and Moon double swords, it was the standard long sword in the army, which showed a bit of killing aura than the Sun and Moon double swords.

When a few guards rushed out heard this, they didn't think much about it. They beat the horse and rushed towards Hu Sanniang. A person in front of them shouted: "Women and children are also looking for death!"
