In the Khitan military camp, Dielide and several generals drank and discussed the war. They were originally the Khitan vanguards, and they wanted to attack the place where the Song Dynasty had not yet been cleared. As a result, the military rations were exhausted, and the Song Dynasty in front of them had to retreat hungry. After Shisanlang and Liu Huan arrived at Yongjing Army, Yelu Hongji added tens of thousands of troops to Dielide to defend here.

The fire in the tent was burning vigorously, and a sheep was built on it. It was already ripe, and the entire tent was filled with the fragrance of meat. Although the food and grass were difficult, the commander of tens of thousands of troops would not be hungry. Dili had wine and meat here.

The personal soldiers cut the meat, put it on a plate, and brought it to several main generals.

Dielid picked up the meat and took a bite, picked up the wine bowl, raised his head and poured a large gulp of wine. He put down the wine bowl and said, "Tonight, the Song army of Yongjing Army in the south suddenly came north and went down to the camp ten miles away from us. Could it be that the Song army was going to counterattack?"

Nelugu said: "That is not in line with our wishes! After more than two months of going south, the Song army has been hiding in the city and cannot fight. This time the Song army came, and it happened to be a big battle! Without the city, how can these Song army be our opponents!"

Xie Shi on the side said, "What we are saying is that for hundreds of years, the southerners have relied on cities to fight against our grassland army. Since they have left the city themselves, let them see how powerful we are!"

Dilid shook his head: "I don't think it's that simple. In the north, Gu Ni and Gu Ni fought for more than half a month, but weren't they still confronted there? They kept reporting and destroyed many Song troops, but they didn't even find Qianning Army City."

Nelugu said: "There are less than 150,000 people in Guniu, but the Song army has added more than 200,000 troops. How easy is it?"

Dilid had picked up the wine bowl, took a sip of wine, and didn't say anything. He was very suspicious of the number of Gu Ni's reports. More than 200,000 troops were added. With the original Song army under the Qianning Army, the Song army had 300,000. More than 300,000 troops were there, just like Gu Ni just played games like this? Unlike others, Dilid had to take 10,000 troops as the vanguard, but the Song army was firmly in the walls and cleared the fields and came back hungry. After suffering, they naturally knew differently. If it was really as others said, the Song army was not good at fighting in the long field and could only defend the city, the Khitan army would not be so uncomfortable.

The tower on the side also suddenly said, "The Song army suddenly came north. Will they be going to counterattack?"

Nerugu laughed when he heard this: "The Song army just hid in the city, hoping that it would take us away after a long time. Go out of the city to counterattack. This dynasty has more than 400,000 troops here, and 100,000 people, what are you going to counterattack!"

Ta Bu also said: "If it weren't for a counterattack, they would have defended the Yongjing Army. What did they do suddenly? As I said just now, if the Qianning Army did not have more than 200,000 troops, where would the main force of the Song Army go? A city in Cangzhou should not have many soldiers in the city."

Xie Shi said: "Cangzhou is so difficult to attack, and there is no way to fight for hundreds of thousands of troops for decades. How could there be fewer troops in the city? In my opinion, there must be tens of thousands of troops in the city. Otherwise, it would have been captured long ago."

Ta Bu also said: "Cangzhou City is not big. If there were tens of thousands of troops, where would the food and grass come from? In such a city, I have never heard of a large granary building. If there were no external grain transports in, wouldn't it be that it would have been starved to death long ago?"

Nelugu said: "Even if there are not tens of thousands of troops in Cangzhou, the main force of the Song army is hiding in other cities. The 400,000 army comes south, and the Song army does not have a million people. How dare you fight back? You don't believe it. I will go to the Song army camp to ask for battle tomorrow morning, and you will know it after a look."

Dielid looked at Nerugu and said slowly, "What if the Song army doesn't fight? They have many artillery pieces, and you can't get close to them if you just use them."

Nelugu shook his head: "Where are the artillery of the Song army so powerful? Moreover, the artillery is very valuable, and there may not be many of the 100,000 Song army in front."

Dieli said: "Okay, tomorrow you will bring 10,000 troops to fight the Song army. We guess what they are doing, we can see a rough idea in the last battle. If you counterattack, you will definitely be impatient to fight me. If you just defend the enemy, you will not think so."

Nerugu readily agreed. He was really annoyed after staying in the Song Dynasty for so many days. In the past two months, the Song army has only guarded the city tightly and did not go out to attack, which made the Khitan army feel that life was a bit boring.

Early the next morning, Shisanlang left the tent, looked at the sun rising in the east, stretched his waist. He entered the military academy a few years ago and never went to the battlefield again, and felt a little stiff. Today, he returned to the military formation and was very energetic.

At this moment, a personal soldier came over and said with his hands: "Taiwei, there are about 10,000 people from Khitan, and he is coming to us. Taiwei Liu is waiting in the tent and discussing with Taiwei how to fight."

Shisanlang high-five: "Okay, we're finally here!"

After saying that, he took a big step and reached the tent of Liu Huan on the side.

Liu Huan was walking anxiously in the commander's tent. When he saw Shisanlang coming in, he hurriedly said, "Just just now, the Khitan sent ten thousand soldiers and was coming to us. Needless to say, it should be coming to attack us. The Taiwei thought, how should we fight?"

Shisanlang said: "Our 100,000 troops, the Khitan only sent ten thousand people over. Do you look down on us? Taiwei, according to my estimate, the Khitans are just here to test the truth and reality, and they should not fight to the death. Otherwise, if they send ten thousand people, they will be funny!"

Liu Huan said: "It should be so. It's just how to eliminate the Khitan army in front of us. We haven't decided on the combat plan. Now that the Khitans come, many things are disrupted. I'm a little confused about what to do."

Shisanlang said, "What's the difficulty? They arrived, as long as many infantry set up their formation and use artillery to prevent them from coming forward. We don't have to rush to attack until the plan is done. Let them stay here for two days without hindering us."

Liu Huan said: "Our 100,000 troops will inevitably make the Khitan people suspicious if they do not take the initiative."

Shisanlang smiled and said, "Taiwei, the 100,000 troops suddenly arrived here, and the Khitans would of course be suspicious. We don't have to care what the Khitans think, just what they do. The 50,000 troops ahead did not retreat, so we made plans and prepared to destroy them."

Liu Huan nodded: "It makes sense. OK, so let's do it. I'll arrange troops and horses to block the Khitans. If there are ten thousand people, just send a division, and there is no need to dispatch a large army."

Shisanro nodded: "It's best. Just keep it, my cavalry will not need to be dispatched."

Liu Huan was originally a civil servant. When fighting against Dangxiang, he volunteered to go to Hehuang to contact the Khisai and was promoted. Liu Huan's character was warlike and liked to be meritorious. According to his nature, when the Khitans came, his troops were superior, he would have to go forward and destroy them in one fell swoop. But if he performed too strongly, he was afraid that the tens of thousands of Khitans would run away. His infantry could not catch up with the Khitan cavalry, and all the credits would be given to Shisanlang, so he was naturally unwilling to accept it.

According to Shisanlang, it is better to send the Khitans to block them first. After the arrangement is made, several large armies will come out together, so that the Khitans will not be able to run away.
