This time, the Liao army dispatched 30,000 elite cavalry to invade Cangzhou. It was an agreement with Liu Cunxiao to send troops together. Unexpectedly, when the news reached Yijin Pass, most of the Liao army's troops were ready to go, and they had paid a lot of food and money. This year, the north was windy and snowy, and many cattle and sheep were frozen to death. Many tribes lived a difficult life. Therefore, the Liao army general Xiao Baozhen decided to still send troops to Cangzhou, unable to fight in Cangzhou, and rob some property, so it would be easier this winter.

Liao general Xiao Baozhen is a very intelligent veteran in the Liao army. After the Liao army attacked on the first day, he saw that Cangzhou was in a tight defense, so he was not in a hurry to attack the city. He decided that the Dezhou army would reinforce in the future and ambush the Dezhou army with 10,000 cavalry in the place where the Dezhou army must pass. After the Dezhou army was in a daze, nearly 3,000 troops were lost. The Dezhou army was forced to retreat to Dezhou and dared not come to reinforce again. The Liao army was captured by the three hundred Dezhou soldiers beheaded outside the city of Cangzhou. The military and civilians of Cangzhou were both angry, but no Cangzhou army dared to go out of the city to fight.

Without any worries, the Liao army was plundering horses between Cangzhou and Dezhou. The army of Cangzhou and Dezhou were defending the city and did not dare to respond to its edge.

The Black Eagle Army has not actually gone far and has been lurking in the northwest of Cangzhou. The Black Eagle Army is familiar with the terrain and avoids the searches of the Liao army many times. The scout cavalry in the Lion Camp closely pays attention to the movements of the Liao army and always looks for fighter jets.

After several days of robbery, the Liao army had a great harvest, so they sent a team of 100 people to drive a large group of cattle and sheep back to the Liao territory.

The Liao army team broke away from the Liao army's large army and walked less than ten miles before they were surrounded by the Black Eagle Army. The Liao army team's resistance was weak and ineffective. The tiger camp had a wave of crossbow arrows, which basically solved the battle. The Liao soldiers who escaped the crossbow arrows were lucky enough to escape the crossbow arrows were killed one by one by one by the Leopard Camp.

To deal with the Liao army, the Black Diao Army immediately buried the corpses of the Liao army, killed the sheep, roasted them, made them into mature food, and used them as military rations. The cattle were large-scale production tools at that time and were very important property of the farmers. Hou Dayong ordered the Black Diao Army to send people to drive the cattle to a very remote village far away from the official road and hide it.

The Liao army team did not run away, so the Liao army did not know the existence of the Black Diao Army. The Black Diao Army killed two more Liao army teams, and the Liao army became aware and hurriedly sent troops to search. The Black Diao Army had long disappeared without a trace, and the Liao army searched for a large scale but found nothing.

Liao general Xiao Baozhen was worried about the annihilation of the vanguard battalion. Most of the vanguard battalions were old soldiers who had been fighting for many years. They had very strong combat power. They defeated the three thousand defenders of Evil Hu Pass with one thousand people. Unexpectedly, they were completely wiped out outside the city of Cangzhou. According to investigations, there were only one Black Eagle Army stationed outside the city, with about one thousand people.

After hearing his subordinates report this situation, Xiao Baozhen was stunned for a long time before saying, "The Black Eagle Army, a mere thousand people, wants to eat the Forward Battalion, I am afraid that there is not such a good appetite. There must be an army outside Cangzhou City, just like a pack of wild wolves, staring at the Liao army at all times. When a single lamb appears, he will pounce on it and bite his head and bones, and he will not even vomit the scum."

When the Black Eagle Army was looking for opportunities to hunt outside the city, the food in Cangzhou City began to become tense. The army began to control the supply, and the families who stored less food were already dead.

After the Black Eagle Army won a battle, there was no news. Rumors came from somewhere in Cangzhou City, "The Black Eagle Army was destroyed." "Hou Dayong was captured by the Khitans and five horses were dismembered." "Hou Dayong was incompetent, defeated the battle and killed more than a thousand people." And other news came from somewhere, and quickly moistened the whole city like a spring rain.

The gate of the Hou Mansion was splashed with feces many times. Fu Gong went out to do business and rolled his eyes a lot. The Hou Mansion family felt that they were dull and looked down upon. They were ashamed when they went out, and they no longer had the same spirit as before. Chunlan and Qiuju were anxious and went to Kaiyuan Temple every day to bless Alang to be safe and sound.

One morning, Chunlan and Qiuju looked like usual, so she went to Kaiyuan Temple to burn incense again. Fu Gong knew that although the two girls were maids, they had close ties with Hou Dayong and did not regard the two girls as maids. When the two girls burned incense, Fu Gong was worried that the war was in chaos and the city was not safe, so he called two guards and two girls to go with him. After the incense came, he walked outside the temple. The four were blocked by three men. The guard recognized the leader, which was Zhao Wu, who was defeated by Hou Dayong.

After being injured by Hou Dayong, Zhao Wu has been recuperating at home. He heard that Hou Dayong was appointed as the commander-in-chief and was afraid of his revenge. When he was frightened, he learned that his cousin Zhao Wen was going to Cangzhou to serve as the commander-in-chief of Zhechong. Someone supported him. Zhao Wu was hard at his back, so naturally he was not afraid of Hou Dayong. When Hou Dayong sent someone to get the knife, he was flatly rejected by the Zhao family.

Zhao Wu stopped the Hou Mansion family. Seeing that although the two girls were dressed as maids, they were very well-dressed and looked so slick, they should be the ones who went to the room, they said, "Miss, Hou Dayong can't come back, so why not follow me."

When Qiu Ju heard this, tears couldn't help but burst out and said, "Alangfu is a great man, he will definitely come back."

Before Qiu Ju finished speaking, Zhao Wu stepped forward and kicked Qiu Ju in the face. Qiu Ju was bleeding and fainted on the ground. The two guards were He Fugui's apprentices, and they usually had disagreements with the Zhao family. When Zhao Wu kicked Qiu Ju down, he stepped forward to fight Zhao Wu. Zhao Wu fought against one and attacked more and more, and Zhao Wu's companions saw that Zhao Wu was victorious and stood beside him to watch the battle. Soon, both guards were knocked down to the ground, and Zhao Wu stepped on the guard's face, proud.

Chunlan held Qiuju, and saw Qiuju's face full of blood and was not awake. She didn't care about being sad. She quietly took off Qiuju's hairpin and held it in her hand. Taking advantage of Zhao Wu's pride, she raised her hairpin and stabbed Zhao Wu. Zhao Wu was so proud that she could get close to her, and a "tiger came out of the hole" hit Chunlan's chest with a move. Chunlan was beaten up and landed on the ground. Zhao Wu rushed forward and raised her foot to step on her. Suddenly, she heard a gust of wind. She knew that someone was plotting, and flashed across her side, and a flying knife passed by.

Zhao Wu looked back and saw a group of people coming out of the temple. There was a young woman in the middle. A man snatched out of the crowd and fought with Zhao Wu. The man was very skilled in martial arts and was hard to distinguish with Zhao Wu and did not fall in the wrong place. Zhao Wu saw that the person who came was skilled in martial arts and had many people on the other side, so he dared not fall in love with the battle. After using two fierce moves to force the opponent away, he jumped out of the circle. Zhao Wu raised his hand and arched, "Who is the person coming? Why did he attack Zhao?"

The young woman took over the conversation and said, "Look at your martial arts skills, why don't you go to the city wall to fight against the Liao people, but bully the women here."

Zhao Wudao: "I am not a soldier." He said: "What do you have to do with you?"

"Everyone has the responsibility to defend the territory. You are just a good martial arts man, not an open man." The woman's face changed and she said in a row: "If you kill someone, you will not be able to escape." After the woman said that, she ignored Zhao Wu and asked to treat the two women quickly.

Zhao Wu was about to break out, and suddenly remembered Zhao Wen about the sister of Mrs. Wei Guo in Cangzhou City. This woman was very dignified and not a Cangzhou figure. Could it be her? When Zhao Wu thought of this, he saw that the woman was busy saving people, so he slipped away quietly.

This woman is Fu Ying. Cangzhou has been besieged for many days. Fu Ying comes to Kaiyuan Temple every day, praying that the Buddha will protect the people of Cangzhou. She did not want to come out to see Zhao Wuou beat Chunlan, so she saved Chunlan.

Chunlan was bleeding from the corner of her mouth, holding Qiuju, Fu Ying put a pill in Qiuju's mouth. After a while, Qiuju woke up slowly, and the first sentence was: "Alang will not die." Fu Ying asked: "Who is your Alang?" Chunlan replied proudly: "Hou Dayong, the commander of the Black Eagle Army."

Outside Cangzhou City, Liao general Xiao Baozhen concluded that there was an army outside Cangzhou City. Although he didn't know if it was the Black Eagle Army, the number was not large. Otherwise, he would not have only attacked the Liao army's small troops, so he sent 4,000 people to divide them into two teams, robbing everywhere and waiting for an opportunity to round up this small unit.

The Lion Camp's reconnaissance cavalry soon discovered that there were two teams of troops in the Liao army, each of which was about 2,000. The Liao army was extremely cunning. The two teams always kept a half-incense stick. As long as one of them was attacked, the other team could immediately rush to rescue. Hou Dayong sat by the map for a long time and found that there was a small lake in the area where the Liao army was moving, which was only one mile wide and more than ten miles long. If the Liao army was active here, the two armies were divided on both sides of the lake, they could be attacked. Hou Dayong ordered the Lion Camp's reconnaissance cavalry to closely monitor the movements of the Liao army. At the same time, the entire Black Eagle army moved to the north side of the lake and hid.

The two teams of Liao soldiers wandered by the lake for a long time, and finally divided their troops and advanced along the two sides of the straits.

After receiving the information, Hou Dayong carefully chose a lurking place, located in the path that the Liao army must pass. Hou Dayong ordered the Hei Diao battalions to hide in the upper wind, with the north wind blowing up weeds and dust constantly hitting the soldiers' faces and bodies.

The Liao army brigade soon appeared in sight, and the soaped flag was "flying" in the wind, and the Liao army was four people and one horizontal lineup, which lasted nearly two miles.

When Hou Dayong saw that most of the Liao army had entered the ambush circle, he ordered the entire army to attack. For a moment, the sound of war drums was loud. The Black Eagle Army charged with the wind, and the horses took advantage of the wind. One thousand cavalry had the momentum of ten thousand cavalry charging. The strong north wind increased the flight speed and power of the iron arrows. As the first round of shooting was completed, more than a thousand iron arrows rushed towards the Liao army.

Under the sudden attack, the Liao army vanguard raised his bow and fought back regardless of casualties. Due to the wind and the wind and sand seriously affected the shooting of the bow and arrows. The iron arrows shot out were difficult to pose a threat to the Black Eagle Army. This is why Hou Dayong ambushed the Black Eagle Army in the upper wind.

When the Black Eagle Army shot two rounds of feather arrows and rushed to the Liao army, the Liao army's combat formation had not yet unfolded. The Black Eagle Army was prepared and used the favorable terrain and climate to penetrate the Liao army. The Liao army's vanguard could not resist, and the soldiers fled everywhere, and the Liao generals were also wrapped in chaos and could not control the team. As the saying goes, the Liao army's rear team, which had not yet fought with the Black Eagle Army, saw the soldiers in front of them dispersed, and quickly turned their horses to run back.

After pursuing a few miles, the Black Eagle Army left the battle, collected the arrows and food of the Liao soldiers, and moved southwest. In this battle, the Liao army had more than 400 corpses, and the Black Eagle Army failed to wipe out the enemy. With few enemies and more, this kind of record was quite good. After several battles, the Black Eagle Army suffered very little losses. Hou Dayong attached great importance to the treatment of the wounded. Because the Black Eagle Army was a roaming action war and had no base, Hou Dayong placed the inoperable wounded soldiers in a hidden village. A wounded soldier left behind fifteen stagnant money and promised to come back to pick up the wounded soldiers when the war ended. When the villagers saw that the wounded were injured in fighting against the Liao people, they were willing to take them in, without any worries, and the Black Eagle Army was even more vigorous.

When Liao general Xiao Baozhen learned that the Liao army was attacked, he suffered heavy casualties, he was furious and punished the officer leading the team for fifty whips.

His Majesty Guo Wei attached great importance to the war in Cangzhou. After making preparations for the Northern Han to take the opportunity to attack, he killed the generals of Chanzhou who failed to reinforce and actively dispatched troops from Dezhou, Qingzhou and Xingzhou to prepare to besiege the Liao army.

The Black Eagle Army repeatedly attacked the Liao army, greatly reducing the scope of activities of the Liao army. Liao general Xiao Baozhen discovered from the details that the Great Zhou was constantly mobilizing troops, so he decided to concentrate all his efforts to attack Cangzhou City and end the battle while the Great Zhou reinforcements were not arrived, so as to avoid long nights and many dreams and other changes.

The Liao army increased the intensity of the siege and used a bed crossbow composed of eight crossbows. The arrows used were as thick as chariot strips and arrowheads as big as giant axes. The stones used for throwing stones weighed 30 kilograms, causing major casualties to the defenders.

When the army and civilians of Cangzhou saw that the Liao army was very anxious to attack the city, they knew that the city would be destroyed and the city would be massacred. The governor Li Hui ordered all men and women in Cangzhou to go up to the city wall to participate in defense. The man on the city wall was responsible for attacking downwards, and the woman was responsible for engineering and transportation of war materials. Chunlan and other young women all went up to the city wall. Li Hui could not persuade them, and Fu Ying also brought his entourage to the city wall. The remaining old and weak were responsible for logistics chores. Twenty bundles of firewood to repair the fortifications of the city wall were stored every twenty meters, and pot stoves, water jars and sand were set up every forty-five meters, and crossbows, halberds, halberds, axes, vertebrae, some stones and thorns were stored every four meters.

The brutal siege battle entered the twelfth day. After heavy weapons were bombarded, the Liao army rushed up and raised a giant tree to hit the city gate. The Cangzhou army fought to the death, shooting and stabbing, smashing and choking, burning and pouring, causing all the soldiers of the Liao army to carry the ladder to siege the city wall. The Cangzhou defenders used hook rods to hook the ladder and pushed outward, causing the Liao army to be unable to go up and down, and were killed one by one.

The Liao army was repelled when the attack was attacked. The Liao general Xiao Baozhen saw that the Cangzhou defenders were tightly defended. The Liao army failed to attack repeatedly, and suffered huge casualties. He was extremely angry. There were few stones outside the Cangzhou city, and if there were no stone throwing machines, it would be even more difficult to attack the city. The Liao general Xiao Baozhen ordered the Liao army to step up the attack, and sent people to collect stone products everywhere.

Xiao Baozhen was supervising the battle outside the city, and after he personally killed a small school that was afraid of war, he ordered the Liao army to launch a new round of attacks. Just as the Liao army was sieging the city wildly, a cavalry suddenly appeared behind the Liao army, with the flag flying, and the momentum was like rainbow. The Liao army could not stop it. More than a thousand cavalry quickly tore a hole in the Liao army and rushed straight toward the east gate where the Liao general Xiao Baozhen was. The sharp-eyed soldiers in the city had seen clearly that there was a "black eagle" on the military flag, and couldn't help but shouting excitedly, "Black eagle army, Black eagle army."

Soon, tens of thousands of people in Cangzhou City shouted: "Black Eagle Army! Black Eagle Army! Black Eagle Army!"
