The Black Dragon City soldiers were in full swing, and when they pressed the camp, Tiefutu did not come out, but two thousand light cavalry practiced on the grassland near Zhennan Fort. The Black Dragon City army does not have many banners, but it is well trained.

Above the city, Chao Gai and the others raised their eyes to watch. I saw two thousand light cavalry all wearing small black armor, wielding a curved saber and a bow and arrow on their backs.

"Their sabers look shorter than ours, and they are not our opponents. ”

Liu Tang next to him shook his head: "The tactics are different, they have heavy cavalry, the heavy cavalry is the one who rushes into the formation, the light cavalry with a scimitar is mainly armed with a bow and arrow, he is responsible for the two wings of the Tiefutu, and he rarely has the opportunity to chop." ”

"No wonder the black wolf bandits who come and go like the wind are afraid of the Black Dragon City Army, if they have two thousand Iron Floating Slaughter and thousands of light cavalry, even if the Black Wolf Cavalry is dispatched with the whole army, they will not dare to hedge against the Iron Floating Slaughter." Chao Gai said.

Everyone thought so, not to mention that Black Dragon City also had a large city and several fortresses to rely on, although the infantry was not well trained, there was no problem in guarding the city. The black wolf bandits have no experience in attacking fortifications, and they will stop eating when they encounter the city.

Yuan Lang said: "What are they going to do, to show their military might?" I can't change the prisoners. ”

Chao Gai didn't know what the Black Dragon City Army was going to do, so he could only wait and see.

When Chao Gai was puzzled, Black Dragon City sent a thin military division to Zhennan Fort, called Black Eagle, a long thin man, and his height was only about one meter six. shouted: "Where are you from, why do you illegally occupy our Black Dragon Island, and immediately give us a roll out of Black Dragon Island, otherwise we will use all means to protect our territorial integrity." ”

The generals are not happy to see him, so let's talk about the negotiation, what are you doing.

Chao Gai shouted: "Where did the madman come from, come here, exit the gate and behead him." ”

"Yes." The soldiers in the tent responded and grabbed the black eagle, the military advisor of the Black Dragon City, and tied them up. The black eagle said: "The two countries will not fight each other. ”

"What country are you?" Chao Gai asked.

"We are the Great Liao Kingdom, and you are the Great Song Kingdom." The black eagle said.

The generals next to him laughed: "Haha, haha, what kind of family are you in the Great Liao Kingdom, half of the rise of the Jin Kingdom and the Liao Kingdom are finished, and now they are struggling to breathe." In addition, we are not from the Great Song Kingdom, although we are from the Great Song Kingdom, but this is our private work in private, secretly fighting, and we have nothing to do with the Great Song Kingdom. ”

The black eagle jumped, it seems that it may really not be the army of the Great Song Kingdom, the Great Song Kingdom is not so belligerent, and thousands of miles away sent troops to attack the Black Dragon Island.

"Okay, I'll admit defeat, I'm here to negotiate, let me go." The black eagle said.

Chao Gai said: "Well, that's right, the negotiation should have the appearance of a negotiation." ”

As he spoke, he ordered someone to loosen his ties and watch the seat.

The black eagle shook his shoulders, just letting the rope tie hurt, this group of pro-soldiers is really livestock, and the hands are too heavy.

Chao Gai said: "There are a total of 1,000 captives, and we have scarce money and food, and we can't afford to feed them. Two thousand horses for heavy cavalry, two thousand cattle, this is not a lot, are you ready? ”

The black eagle said: "I am also a Han Chinese, the family does not speak two words, this time I was entrusted by the city lord to come to negotiate." General Chao should let me see that the prisoner is still alive first, if you behead the prisoner, there will be no point in talking about it again. ”

Chao Gai motioned to Liu Tang, and Liu Tang said: "I'll take you to have a look, but you must not play tricks, we are not the official army of the Great Song Dynasty, but a local army, and we don't talk about any war rules." ”

The black eagle said: "Don't worry, since I dare to come, I am very sincere." ”

Immediately, Liu Tang accompanied the black eagle to the prisoner of war camp, and the management of prisoners of war is also a matter of knowledge, and ordinary soldiers and officers were separated and detained, and they could not see each other. You can't starve them or let them eat too much.

The black eagle saw that the prisoners of war were in good spirits, and they were sitting bored one by one. Seeing that the black eagles were coming, they came one by one, and said, "The military division, the military division is here." ”

The black eagle also wanted to say a few words to them, and let Liu Tang pull them away. The first feeling of this guy is that the black eagle is a goblin, so Liu Tang didn't give him a chance to speak.

Back at the Chinese military tent, Chao Gai asked: "Black Army Division, the prisoners have also seen it, it's time to talk about some serious things." ”

The black eagle said: "General Chao is a real person, so I won't hide it." The war horse of the Tiefutu cavalry is a medium-sized horse, this kind of horse is heavier than the ordinary Mongolian war horse is 200 to 300 catties, that is, about 1,000 catties, and the Mongolian horse is the same hard-working and hard-working, not afraid of the cold, of course, due to the large size of the concentrate to be more appropriate. This is more than ten years ago the Liao people and from the red-haired rakshasa ghost in the far north in exchange for the stallion and the local Mongolian horse crossbred breeding. But the main horse farms are now estimated to be in the hands of Jin Guode. We only have a total of 2,000 horses in Black Dragon City, and the 1,000 Iron Floating Slaughter that you have captured, and the 1,000 Iron Floating Slaughter in our army now, no matter how many there are, it is only about 100 horses. However, there are still a lot of foals in the horse farm, how about giving you some foals? ”

Yuan Lang said: "You guys are fooling people, almost all the areas under the jurisdiction of Black Dragon City are vast grasslands, how can there be no horses." ”

The black eagle said: "It is true that there are no such medium-sized horses, but there are tens of thousands of ordinary horses, grazing on the grassland." The herders eat horse meat and drink mare's milk. ”

Chao Gai stared at the eyes of the black eagle, thinking that this guy should not be lying, if there were really thousands of medium-sized horses in Black Dragon City, there would definitely be more Iron Floating Slaughter. If there are three or five thousand iron floating horses on this grassland, cooperating with three or five thousand kidnapping horses, it is simply an invincible existence.

"Well," said Chaogai, "for five hundred medium-sized horses, and ponies." Another 5,000 head of cattle. ”

"Deal. Swap after three days. The black eagle said.

Liu Tang said: "Why exchange after three days, isn't there some conspiracy." ”

The black eagle said: "Cattle are not faster than horses, from Black Dragon City to here more than a hundred miles, the cattle eat and walk, and they can't be reached in three days." ”

"Okay, a word is a decision, set up a banquet, and entertain the Black Eagle Military Division." Chao Gai said.

After all, the banquet in the army was special, and there was no big piece of horse meat and mutton. Instead, I made a few Lu dishes, stewed chicken, braised fish and the like. The teacup is soaked in Xinyang green tea, and chopsticks are used for eating.

The black eagle sighed a little and said, "It's been a long time since I've been to authentic Xinyang tea, and the taste is still so familiar." ”

"Listening to your accent, it seems to have a bit of Hebei flavor, and your ancestors are from Hebei?" Chao Gai asked.

The black eagle ate a chicken nugget, spicy straight and smacked his mouth, and said: "It's not my ancestor, I am a native of Zhuozhou, Hebei, originally the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, and later became the territory of the Liao Kingdom." When the Liao State was prosperous, it was still very open-minded, and it was not exclusive to the Han people, and I was young at that time, thinking about coming out to have a future. followed the current Xiao City Lord, and later the Liao Imperial Family Dou Xiao City Lord was sent to Black Dragon Island, which was barren and full of barbarians. After nearly 20 years of hard work, this foundation has been laid. ”

Chao Gai said: "I won't hide it from you, there are big people in the imperial court who advocate uniting the Jin State to exterminate the Liao State, so I came over to occupy this Black Dragon Island first." ”

The black eagle was extremely surprised in his heart, shook his head and said: "Today's Liao State seems to be powerful, but in fact, it is already in turmoil, and it can't resist the joint attack of Jin and Song at all. But what about Black Dragon Island behind the Jin Kingdom, what are you doing here? ”

Liu Tang said: "Your black military division is a human spirit, you won't be unable to see through such a simple game." ”

The black eagle gestured with his hand and said: "Is the Great Song Dynasty worried that after the Jin Dynasty destroyed the Liao, the Jin State would be too powerful and give the Jin Kingdom a blow from behind?" ”

"Hey, eat the vegetables, eat the vegetables. It's hard to eat in your Black Dragon City. Chao Gai was noncommittal.

I ate a lot of black eagle vegetables, but I rarely drank the wine no matter how much I persuaded it.

After the meal, the black eagle said: "General Chao, I heard that your artillery is very powerful, can you open your eyes?" ”

Chao Gai said: "Presumably, the black wolf bandits who escaped from the battlefield have arrived at you, and this East ** can't be hidden, so let's open your eyes." Rush wild, get ready. ”

"Yes."

Urging the wilderness.

A moment later, Chao Gai went up to the city wall with the black eagle, and Jiao Ting reminded him: "You just have to look, don't touch it." ”

The black eagle saw that Jiao Ting was a dead eye, Chao Gai arranged him like this, he would definitely carry it out, if he really wanted to use the cannon, it would be difficult to guarantee that this stupid big man would not kill himself with a hammer.

On the city wall, the field has been prepared, twenty tiger squatting cannons, with the order of the field, the artillery is ignited and launched, boom boom, the ground shakes, and the smoke rolls out.

The black eagle's ears hurt, "Oops, oops, my ears." ”

Chao Gai asked, "Black Army Division, what's the situation?" ”

"I just watched the cannon and my ears hurt."

Chao Gai asked Jiao Ting with a dark face: "What about the cotton you prepared for the Black Army Division, why don't you give it to him." ”

Jiao Ting scratched his head: "I forgot, it's still with me, Black Army Division, remember to plug your ears with this in advance the next time you fire the artillery." ”

"How dare you tease the Black Army Master and punish you for cleaning the stables for three days." Chao Gai said.

Jiao Ting said: "Okay, clean it." ”

Black Eagle is such a smart person, at a glance, he knew that this was Jiao Ting deliberately embarrassing himself, and General Chao may not really punish him, so he immediately said: "Forget it, it's also unintentional, and it will be fine after a while." ”

Chao Gai said: "The Black Army Division is really a large number of adults. ”

The group rode out of the city again, and when they came to three miles away, they found the iron bullet they had just shot, and smashed all the holes in the grass.

The black eagle inhaled the cold air, this cannon is too demonic, and Tiefutu can't stand this bombardment, it seems that Zhennanbao can't get it back.

The black eagle said: "Does General Chao want a lot of medium-sized horses for heavy cavalry?" I know a lot of people in one place. ”

"Oh, where is it? You can talk about it. Chao Gai said.

"On the other side of the strait, there is a fertile grassland on the south side of the Hung Yen Mountains, where large herds of good horses are raised."
