Zhao Kuangyin's estimate was not wrong, late at night the day after he fell asleep, the wolf howls near Cangzhou came and went, making people unable to sleep.

Instead of being afraid, the Khitan howled with the wolves, thinking that the ancestors had blessed and summoned the wolves to cheer them on. The Khitan people originally used wolves as totems, they liked wolves, and the sudden appearance of wolves made the Khitan people spirited, but the Khitans did not estimate the number of wolves.

Cangzhou was also very excited, because they knew that the wolves Zhao Kuangyin was looking for were coming, and the wolves would not participate in the battle, they were just here to wait for the buffet, but their role was very big, but the remaining enemy troops and horse corpses were useless, so giving them food could be regarded as avoiding the trouble of cleaning up the battlefield.

Although the Khitan people were very happy, the Khitan war horses were frightened one by one, and the wolf howls kept coming, so frightened that the horses' legs could not stand.

No matter how strong the horse is, it is also a herbivore, and in the face of so many top hunters around, it is strange not to be afraid. The wind of the grassland blew the smell of wolf urine into the Khitan camp, and humans naturally couldn't smell it, but the horses could smell this dangerous smell very clearly.

Horses have a very sensitive sense of smell, and they can smell the strength and number of wolves. I was very worried that the wolves would suddenly kill, so I didn't want to sleep at all, and I couldn't even eat the forage. If this situation lasted for two days, the person in charge of feeding the horses would have investigated it carefully, but it just happened today, so I didn't care.

Of course, the Khitans are not afraid of wolves, but no matter how many wolves there are, do they dare to rush into the barracks? Therefore, the Khitans are completely excited about the affairs of the wolves and do not have the slightest worry.

Night

"Big brother, big brother, wake up, the wolf is coming. ”

"I've heard this story from Zongxin...... The wolf is coming?" Zhao Kuangyin suddenly reacted, sat up directly and said, "Is it really here?"

"Listen~ The whole city is full of wolf howls. ”

Zhao Kuangyin pricked up his ears and listened carefully, although the voice was not loud, he could still hear the wolf howling.

"Xiaobai was really punctual, and he came so soon. It seems that his wolf cubs have been hungry for a long time, don't let the guests wait for a long time, immediately order the rectification of the three armies, the third watch to cook and the fifth watch to send troops, and today to kill those Khitan cubs without leaving a piece of armor. ”

"Second brother, it's been four days......"

"Wake me up now? Zhao Kuangyin said depressedly: "Do you know what punishment will be imposed for delaying the military situation?"

"Second brother, Xiaobai just came. ”

"Oh~ That's it. Zhao Kuangyin was also quite embarrassed, he originally wanted to show his military talent in front of his younger brother, but he didn't say a word.

"That's right, Your Majesty has ordered the reorganization of the three armies, and ordered two thousand head of cattle to be prepared, and as long as this battle is won, everyone will eat well. So forget about today's breakfast, everyone takes two steamed buns and starts drying. Now the army has begun to assemble, and after the assembly is completed, it will immediately send troops to attack the Khitan military camp. ”

Zhao Kuangyin nodded and said, "Hmm~ Your Majesty did the right thing." Next...... I'll go take a shower and change my clothes, and then I'll have a little bit of food, and you tell Your Majesty to wait. ”

"Good~"

Zhao Kuangyi immediately set off to convey to Chai Rong, and Zhao Kuangyin also seized the time to take a shower and change clothes. After all, there is a battle with Yelu Zhen today, and this battle must be seen by all the soldiers, and they must not be too shabby, of course, they must wear the fire cloud robe, the silver silk armor, and the secret weapon that is secretly used to deal with Yelu Zhen.

At this time, the entire Cangzhou was in an uproar, and all the soldiers were ready to go. The army of 60,000 men began to assemble, which was also an incomparably huge project. No matter how well trained, after all, the number of people is too dark and it is difficult to find where your troops should stand.

Zhao Kuangyi came directly to the battlements of the city wall, the horn of Cangzhou has been sounded, and no one dares to slack off, this is almost the first battle of the Central Plains to take the initiative to attack the Khitan, this battle must be fought beautifully, give the Central Plains a long face.

After hearing the horn of Cangzhou, the Khitan military camp also began to move. It's just that the Khitans didn't take this matter to heart, they expected that the Central Plains people would not dare to fight Cangzhou, and even if they did, they wouldn't be able to beat it. The Khitan iron cavalry is infinitely powerful, and it can be said that it is an invincible army on the grassland, and it has died many times when it comes out of Cangzhou.

The Khitans all thought that Cangzhou was afraid when they heard the wolf howl, so they would gather an army to be strong and majestic, but in fact, they didn't have to care at all.

That being said, but others began to assemble on the Khitan side, and they had to react. If they do rush out, and the Khitan military camp doesn't even have pants on, it will be bad.

Chai Rong and his ministers stood on the battlements of the city wall, carefully watching the Khitans gather their troops. It has long been calculated that the Khitan army is only about 20,000 people, including 8,000 cavalry, which is an extremely terrifying number. If these 8,000 cavalry are not solved, 8,000 cavalry alone can destroy 60,000 infantry in the Central Plains. The infantry couldn't catch up with the cavalry at all, they didn't even need to charge, they just needed a tug-of-war, and they could wipe out the infantry by constantly shooting arrows at the enemy.

One of the major characteristics of the Khitan iron cavalry is riding archery, they have been riding on horses since they were young and shooting arrows, and the accuracy of archery is incomparable to the soldiers of the Central Plains. If it is only compared to the infantry, the Central Plains army will win and not lose. After all, the gap in strength is too big, and you can win with your eyes closed.

The gates of Cangzhou were opened, and the soldiers began to assemble outside the city, and everyone was ready for a big battle. There were 20,000 or 30,000 soldiers out of the city alone, and it was not until late at night when the sun rose that the two sides were assembled.

The Central Plains army was neatly arranged, one horizontal and one column was clear, and it looked magnificent and majestic. The Khitan is naturally not far behind, the front row of the big swing dragon is the most powerful Khitan iron horse, and the back row is full of infantry and axe men. But unlike the Central Plains army, the Khitan army each had a bow and arrow, and they were very confident in their archery, at least they could use a bow and arrow to consume a wave before close combat, which was also extremely lethal.

Although the Khitan camp is far away, the distance between the two sides is not far after they assemble. This is not uncommon, the Cangzhou army is often assembled outside the city, and Cangzhou has never been defended, because the five-shaped array is displayed outside the city.

Yeluzhen was originally afraid of the five-shaped formation, and the Khitan army's ability to attack the city was not strong, so the Khitan army only dared to be arrogant outside the Cangzhou Gate, and occasionally used some long-range weapons to make tentative attacks, not really to attack the city. Yeluzhen knew that if he wanted to capture Cangzhou City, he would have to send at least 80,000 troops, but if the army here overwhelmed the border, Da Zhou would also increase his troops.

It's good to say that Cangzhou can be captured in a short time, but this is impossible, Cangzhou's fortification is by no means ten days and a half months to break, but ten days and a half months is enough for Cangzhou to request reinforcements from the surrounding states, and it will be useless at that time. Moreover, the death of the Khitan soldiers will be great, because the besieging side is completely piling up heads, and if he does not have the confidence to take the Central Plains in one fell swoop, Yeluzhen will never do this.

Yeluzhen was at the forefront of the Khitan army, and under his crotch was a golden lynx, because he was the commander. There are a few more around Yeluzhen, it should be the deputy marshal and the pioneer, just look at it, after all, Zhao Kuangyin is not fighting with the Khitan all the year round, and Zhao Kuangyin will never underestimate anyone who dares to stand by Yeluzhen's side.

Of course, Zhao Kuangyin took the lead on Da Zhou's side, riding the Black Iron Fire Bull, although this time it was Chai Rong's own son, but Zhao Kuangyin's martial arts were the highest, and he had to take the lead.

Originally, it was planned for Zhao Kuangyin to drag Ye Lu Zhen, otherwise Ye Lu Zhen alone would be able to scare off all the soldiers. He can't kill so many, but he can intimidate these people into not daring to come forward.

Zhao Kuangyin is surrounded by those few people, Zhao Kuangyi and Zheng Ziming are on the left and right, and Fan Zhen and Li Chongjin are on the outside. The others basically did not dare to confront Yeluzhen, and the skills of these people could barely hold on to not losing face in front of the soldiers. If it was replaced by someone else, Yeluzhen would not have to use his hands at all, and the fluctuation of his true qi alone would seriously injure his opponent.

"Zhao Kuangyin, you are quite bold, you dare to go out of the city to confront our army. Are those small fish and shrimp behind you ready to rush up and fight to the death with my Khitan Iron Cavalry?"

"That's right, I'm here to fight with you today. The Khitan repeatedly led troops to invade our border, and our lord could not bear it anymore and ordered to exterminate all the Khitans who stepped into our border. Zhao Kuangyin said: "Of course, my lord is also very moral, my country's border is not impossible to enter, but you have to pay official taxes." A person is ten taels of silver, a knife is two taels of silver, a horse is five taels of silver, as for the rest, let's count it slowly. If you're willing to give money, we'll forget about it. Of course, not only this time, but also to make up for all the money in the past. ”

Zhao Kuangyin is really open-minded when he sees money, and he does not leave the bank in three sentences. Ten taels of silver for a person, the 20,000 troops here alone need to pay 200,000 taels of silver, which is nothing, if all the things are counted, this time alone can make Zhao Kuangyin make a windfall, not to mention how many times the Khitan led troops outside the Cangzhou Gate before, this is an astronomical amount at all.

"Dare to talk to me about money, you're tired of living, aren't you......"

"Of course, I've been tired of living for a long time, and I've been trying to find someone to slaughter me, but after looking for a long time, I found that my martial arts are too high, and ordinary people can't kill me. Zhao Kuangyin said depressedly: "It's a pity that Zong Xin is not here, and I don't know where to run to be happy, otherwise I really want Zong Xin to slaughter me personally." Today is just right, God opened my eyes and let me meet the mighty Shenwu King Yeluzhen, bothering your old man to kill me with his own hands, I can die in the hands of the Shenwu King, although I Zhao Kuangyin is still honorable. ”

Yelu Zhen had never heard of a person like Zhao Kuangyin negotiating, and his words were full of arrogance. Everyone knows that Zhao Kuangyin doesn't really want to come to death, but there is not a word in his mouth that a normal person says. Why is Zhao Kuangyin so arrogant? Could it be that he really thinks he can win?
