Zheng Zhi naturally didn't know what was happening in Cangzhou, and was discussing the big tent at this time. A new map was gathered one by one, spliced together by Zheng Zhi slightly, and hung on a wooden shelf.

There are more than a dozen major generals in the big tent, as well as Li Gang, Wu Yong, Zhu Wu, and Pei Xuan.

Zheng Zhi stared at the map for a moment, then asked, "The problem of Yelu Dashi must be solved first, do you have a good plan?" ”

"Brother, what's the trouble in this matter, he is in the camp in the north of the city, we will send troops to attack." Ruda spoke.

Wu Yongyan said: "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, those thousands of cavalry will definitely get on their horses and run away." When we take the city, they will surely return. ”

"Running away? Then they will chase him and drive him out hundreds of miles, and when he attacks the city again, he will not be able to return. Ruda said again.

Wu Yong shook his head and replied: "General Lu, when we wait for the cavalry to be exhausted, it is only more than 7,000, and there are still 5,000 Cangzhou cavalry that are not of much use." If all 7,000 horsemen go in pursuit, in case they are ambushed, or the enemy army turns back and fights, and the battle is defeated. There are hundreds of thousands of troops here, and there is no way to take them. Yelu Dashi is even more fearless, 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 retreat is an extremely dangerous thing. A few Jurchens were able to defeat the Liao army because the Liao army was constantly pursued and killed by the Jurchen cavalry when they retreated.

"Pedant, how can you grow the popularity of others and destroy your own prestige. Before you chase it, you say you want to lose. Is the cavalry of the Liao people stronger than the cavalry of the Sprinkle family? Ruda was a little unhappy when he heard this.

Zheng Zhi saw Ruda's appearance and said: "The plan of the big war must be to defeat first, and then win. That's what makes it safe. The Liao cavalry is not very strong, but the Liao cavalry is not weaker than ours. It is not advisable to divide troops and commit dangers. Although we have an army of more than 100,000 people, they are all recruits who have never been in battle, and there are many rabbles in the state capital. These foot soldiers must not be exposed to the hooves of the enemy cavalry, otherwise the consequences of charging into battle will be unpredictable, and in the event of a large-scale rout, it will be unthinkable. Therefore the cavalry must not stay away from the formation. The solution to the problem of Jerodashi must be considered in the long run. ”

Zheng Zhi's understanding of the problem is obviously very profound, although it seems that he has an advantage at this time. But don't slack off easily. As Zheng Zhi said, Yelu Dashi must not be allowed to lead the cavalry to impact his infantry formation, these soldiers of the state capital are unreliable, in case of a large-scale rout under the horse's hooves, it will inevitably cause a serious chain reaction, I am afraid that even these recruits in Cangzhou will be affected, causing an irreparable situation. This is the case with the defeat of Tong Guan in history.

Yelu Dashi's idea is probably this, when Zheng Zhi attacks the city. Cavalry rushed into the infantry formation from the flanks or rear.

It was the Cangzhou soldiers at this time, Zheng Zhi easily did not dare to let them face the enemy's iron hooves, this is a matter of confidence on the battlefield, after the victory of this battle, confidence was established, coupled with the support of the backbone of the generals, Zheng Zhi dared to rest assured that these soldiers would face a more tragic military formation. Otherwise, once defeated, the tens of thousands of newly trained recruits will no longer be able to come in handy, and the first thought of going into battle again is probably how to save their lives.

At this time, Zheng Zhi seemed to have more than 100,000 troops under his command, but what he could really rely on was the thousands of knights under his command. From this point of view, Zheng Zhi and Yelu Dashi are actually equal in strength.

Luda heard Zheng Zhi's words, his face looked much better, and he 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 wander in the camp every day." ”

When Zheng Zhi heard this, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he immediately said: "Luda's words are to the point, Yelu Dashi is too close to us, and he can immediately know our every move, so let's drive him away first, so that we can have a space to plan." ”

Wu Yong listened to the words, seemed to understand, and said: "Xianggong is very good. ”

Looking at Zheng Zhi again, he had already spoken: "Beat the drum and gather the generals, Cangzhou's 50,000 ironclad army is arrayed, and all the cavalry are assembled, and they will go to the north of the city with a certain person to attack the Yelu Dashi camp." The rest of the state guards guarded the camp. ”

Luda was overjoyed when he heard this, and he had been in Zhuozhou for a few days, and finally began to gather troops, and Luda had obviously waited for a long time.

When the drums were beating loudly, there were passwords and shouts everywhere, and the soldiers gathered one by one.

Yelu Dashi naturally also received the news, and immediately blew the horn and beat the drum, and thousands of cavalry instantly mounted and assembled.

Nearly half an hour later, Zheng Zhicai got on his horse and led more than 10,000 knights to the north, and tens of thousands of ironclad soldiers went around the north of the city on foot.

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

Obviously, Yelu Dashi also knew that if 7,000 people were placed in the camp to defend, they would definitely be defeated, and it was the right choice to mount the horse and cross the country.

Zheng Zhi looked at Yelu Dashi in the distance, with a smile on his face. Obviously, the scene in front of him was also expected, if Yelu Dashi was trapped in the camp, Zheng Zhi would be surprised.

"Prepare for the battle and wait for orders." Zheng Zhi opened his mouth and said, and more than 10,000 cavalry on the left and right quickly formed a queue, just waiting for Zheng Zhi's order.

Most of the cavalry of Mi and Xiangli waited intently, and the more than 2,000 cavalry of the Western Army around Zheng Zhi were also horses that repeatedly calmed the restless.

But it was five thousand Cangzhou cavalry, sitting on horses, most of them were pale, and their arms were trembling. At the moment of the war, the first time to fight a horse and rush into battle, in this kind of critical occasion, people's will seems insignificant, facing life and death, no one can be normal.

At this time, many generals in the cavalry were constantly shouting back and forth, motivating these recruits and boosting their morale.

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

A general next to him asked: "Lin Ya, look at the soldiers on the two wings of the Song people, those generals are constantly clamoring in front of the formation, thinking that the two wings are not elite, they can impact the enemy on both wings, and they can win!" ”

When Yelu Dashi heard this, he shook his head and said, "At this time, it's not time to be in danger, and the combat strength of those party cavalry before is really not bad. Behind these cavalry, there are tens of thousands of ironclad foot soldiers. Don't risk your charges. I don't have any room for adventure. If the enemy charges, we retreat along the river. When the enemy is attacking the city, it is the time for us to charge. ”

The general nodded, his face full of sadness. The sad thing is that Yelu Dashi said, "I have no room for adventure in Da Liao." It is too naked, if this battle is defeated, Yanjing will be attacked by the north and south, and it will be impossible to defend, and the Liao State will be wiped out from then on.

Yelu Dashi may be sad in his heart at this time, sad that the clever woman is difficult to cook without rice. If you can have tens of thousands of troops in your hands at this time, where will you be so aggrieved, just wait in formation, and beat the drum to charge.

For Yelu Dashi, he probably would rather go north to fight the Jurchens than go south to fight the Great Song Dynasty. It's a pity that the current Yelu Dashi is still too young, and before Yelu Chun ascended the throne, this Liao country had no room for him to speak. It wasn't until he supported Yelu Chun to ascend the throne that Yelu Dashi really stepped into the center of power for the first time. If Yelu Dashi had been born ten years earlier and entered the center of power earlier, the Liao State might have become like this.

The Cangzhou ironclad infantry had already arrived, and Zheng Zhi was also waiting for them, only to hear Zheng Zhi speak: "Divide 20,000 infantry into the camp and hold the camp." Let these Liao people go to the mountains and forests to sleep in the open. ”

The camp in the north of the city was originally built by Mi Zhenwu and Xiang Lide. At this time, it was returned to the hands without a single soldier. 20,000 foot soldiers were stationed to occupy this camp.

Zheng Zhi also expected that Yelu Dashi would not attack this camp, and Yelu Dashi's only chance was to wait for Zheng Zhi to attack the city in a big way. Attacking the camp will only increase losses, and it will also be attacked by Zheng Zhi's cavalry.

Yelu Dashi saw that countless Song soldiers began to enter the camp, his brows furrowed, and he said: "After all, this is still the case, 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 at this time, he also sighed. If Yelu Dashi stood in Zheng Zhi's point of view, he would also arrange it in this way. The two obviously have some heroic sympathy, but Yelu Dashi looks a little sad.

Zheng Zhi saw that Yelu Dashi in the distance had already turned his horse, and immediately ordered: "Luda, you take Mi Shi and Xiangli to chase, only chase for thirty miles, not deep." Thirty miles away, you can return, and leave the scout rangers to watch. ”

When Luda heard this, after giving up his hand, he beat his horse and left, ordering the soldiers to leave left and right. Five or six thousand cavalrymen have already gone out. Chase the Jerod Stone along the river.

As soon as Luda led the troops away, Wu Yong suddenly walked to the head and said: "Xianggong is afraid that General Lu will be ambushed by the enemy, can we also ambush that Yelu Dashi?" ”

When Zheng Zhi heard this, his heart was shocked, and he said, "Let's go, go back to the big tent map to discuss." ”

There was no fight here in Zhuozhou. On the Cangzhou Road, a big war has begun.

Cai You shouted hysterically, where did the dozens of horse-beating guards in front of his head dare to slacken, and his mouth was also shouting to kill, and he galloped forward.

There are also more than 1,000 soldiers, who also rushed forward.

The audience was full of shouts and killings.

"Rush, !!"

"Kill !!"

The momentum is really not small.

Lao Hu rang the arrows, and the rain of arrows in the air had already been issued, even the knight with only one arm stepped on the bow, put the arrow in his mouth, and then adjusted the position of the arrow with his chin and fired it in the air.

The two sides were already too close, and after a rain of arrows, the horses' hooves were loud, and Lao Hu took the lead with a spear in his hand, and walked away to meet the guards of Cai You who were galloping on horseback.

I don't know how many times Lao Hu has fought in his life, but it is the first time that Lao Hu has fought against the official army of the Great Song Dynasty.

The guards on the other side are also people who practice martial arts, but their riding skills are not good, they can only be regarded as being able to ride horses. traveled with Cai You in the city of Tokyo, or guarded the house, but this was the first time to really fight a horse and rush into battle.

As soon as the two parties made contact, they made a judgment, and Lao Hu flew out with a spear, and the timing and speed matched seamlessly. There was already a man in front of him who had fallen under the horse's hoof. There may seem nothing peculiar about the speed of the horse, the angle and timing of the blade, but this kind of experience after decades of proficiency is obviously not something that can be achieved by practicing martial arts in the flats.

These old men on the left and right are also fighting all their lives, and most of them were still fighting with Zheng Zhi in the north and south a few months ago, and during this time, they ate well and slept soundly, although most of them were white-headed, but their strength and killing skills were not reduced at all.

As soon as the two parties came into contact, they turned on their backs. The people who were still underestimating these ironclad old men in front of their heads had already paid a terrible price at this time.

There are only a few people who can really be regarded as strong in martial arts, and between dodging and dodging, they even beat down one or two iron-clad old men.

Lao Hu had already rushed into the middle of the foot soldiers, rushing left and right to kill, in the face of these rabble, there was really no one-in-one enemy.

A few of Cai You's guards rushed out of the formation by luck, and they were shocked, they really didn't expect these old men to have such combat power, and hurriedly turned back, for fear that Cai You on the other side would have three longs and two shorts.

But at this time, a knight on the avenue rushed over, with a slender figure, and said coquettishly: "The dog thief Hugh wants to turn back, and eat my aunt and grandmother!" ”

This coquettish voice has already revealed the identity of the person who came, it is Dulonggang Qinghu Sanniang!

I saw that Hu Sanniang had a long knife in his left and right hands, although it was not the original sun and moon double knife, but it was a standard long knife in the army, which showed a bit of killing spirit more than the sun and moon double knife.

When a few guards rushed out heard this, they didn't think much about it, and they beat their horses and rushed straight to Hu Sanniang, and the one in front of them shouted: "Women and children, also come to find death!" ”
