A trace of fish belly appeared in the east. Du Zhongxiao stood on the mountain, looking at the endless Khitan military camps in the valley, and the Tanglong Town Military City on the high ground on the other side of the river. The military city was chosen very appropriately. It was backed by the mountains and there was a small river under the city, and there was a wide river on both sides. If Khitan soldiers wanted to attack the military city, they could only attack from the valley. If the artillery fire was not strong, it would be difficult to threaten the city.

When they came to Tanglong Town, a family town, it was very difficult to attack. They fought among various forces and praised everywhere, not because they were afraid that the city would be destroyed, but because they wanted to protect the surrounding brinks. Big trees had trunks and branches, so that they could have deep roots and lush leaves. Without the surrounding brinks of Luolong Town, how meaningful is a small city? The Khitan wanted to seize this place, and to control the commercial paths that had been formed.

Shisanlang brought Liu Huai and Zhou Su and He Sanlang came to the front and saluted Du Zhongxiao with his hands crossed.

Du Zhongxiao looked at several people and said to Liu Huai: "We came to save Tanglong Town. The military city is the fundamental place. We must send capable personnel to command. The commander of the Wudu attaches great importance to you and asks you to bring a hundred cavalry and rush into the military city before dawn and the Khitan army was not siegeing the city. This matter should not be taken lightly. Are you ready?"

Liu Huai, Zhou Su and He Sanlang crossed their hands together: "I will never miss the orders of the command!"

Du Zhongxiao nodded: "Okay, it's getting late, so you can prepare now. Commander Wudu, you can choose 500 iron-armored cavalry and go down the mountain to rush to the enemy formation. Commander Liu chooses the right opportunity and leads people into the city."

Shisanlang and Liu Huai each crossed their hands and made promises and went to prepare separately.

Not long after, I heard the sound of low horse hooves, and the whole earth seemed to be trembling slightly. Shisanlang brought five hundred iron armored cavalry and slowly rushed from the hill to the Khitan camp below. The iron armored cavalry's horses were good horses, but the knights above all carried armored weapons, pressing on their bodies with two or three hundred kilograms, and could not charge with all their strength. At least they had to have the strength to come back. Du Zhongxiao chose the route to rush down from the mountain, fight against the enemy, and then return to his own camp through the valley at the foot of the mountain. This was a tentative battle. Comparing the combat power of both sides, I knew it.

Yelu Chongyuan was still lying high and had not yet gotten up. He heard Xiao Ge who had entered the tent of the commander and said that the Song army had forced him over, and turned over and said, "Okay, yesterday I said I would choose several thousand cavalry to compete with the Song army. I was persuaded by the king. I didn't want them to attack today. Needless to say, choose two thousand elite cavalry to fight and lead the army to fight in the sea! This battle will surely destroy the spirit of the Song army. Mobilize troops in two days to defeat the Song army in one fell swoop!"

Xiao Ge said that he went out to summon troops, and Yelu Chongyuan went to the front to promote the tent.

Shisanlang slowly rushed towards the Khitan military camp with five hundred iron armor. While he was marching, he heard a horn, and the sound of horse hooves came from the Khitan military formation, with the rolling dust, and it was impossible to see how many people rushed out.

Shisanlang whispered loudly: "Don't be in trouble. Each team restrains their own troops and follow the military orders to fight the enemy. After fighting with the enemy, they will return to the barracks from the valley!"

All the generals said that they each raised their long axes and sabers to prepare for the battle. The main weapon of the iron armored cavalry is the long axes, which are used when they catch the enemy, and after the melee, they use the sabers and iron maces. Compared with the cavalry of the imperial guards, everyone does not bring bows and arrows, but has long axes.

The two armies slowly approached and saw the Song army in front of them wearing iron armor, flashing with cold light, and took a breath: "I heard that the Song people have iron armor, which is extremely difficult to break. Why did they meet today?"

The two armies approached. Shisanlang saw the speed of the opposite side slowing down and began to disperse, shouting: "Arrow! Rush!"

As soon as the words were finished, the rain of arrows shot up, covering the sky for a moment. When it landed on the Song army's iron armor, there was a jingle sound, like a chicken pecking at rice. The horse's bow was weak, and the Khitan arrows were also the same. How could it break the iron armor? The Song army's formation was a little messed up, and quickly became neat, and rushed towards the Khitan cavalry with a big axe.

After many years of fighting in the sea, I had never seen this kind of fighting style. After hesitating, he rushed forward with the army.

The cavalry of the Song army was mainly archers, and so was the Khitan and Dangxiang. Whenever they were fighting, they would first shoot each other with bows and arrows. Only when there was a flaw in the side, the main force of the central army would rush forward with all their might and decide the victory in one fell swoop. This is why the Privy Council requires the horse army to practice zip shooting. This is why. When they were in the battle, they could shoot more arrows, and when they were in contact, they would be more beneficial. The archers who were in contact dispersed to both sides and continued to shoot the enemy with bows and arrows.

Iron-armored cavalry can defend against bows and arrows, relying on head-on battles and killing enemies with swords and axes. The Khitan knew very well about the Song army and was familiar with the tactics of bows and arrows when cavalry wars. When they saw this kind of fighting style for the first time, they became panicked.

Shisanlang rushed to the front, holding a long axe, and soon he bumped into the Khitan cavalry head-on. He saw the flag of the generals in the sea and rushed straight toward the armored cavalry. The vanguard of the Khitan cavalry was dispersing to both sides, but he didn't expect that the opponent would rush directly to the central army, and it was a mess for a while.

The long axe can be chopped or smashed, and the divine power of Shisanlang waved his hands. All the Khitan cavalry who were blocking their horses were knocked down and no one could stop them. The rest of the iron armor followed closely, like a huge mill, clashing a way among the Khitan cavalry.

The change was almost in the blink of an eye, and the sea was still a little confused, and I saw that Shisanlang's general flag had reached not far from him. The general flag was the most important command symbol in the battle. If the opponent killed the general and seized the flag, he would inevitably be panic and the situation was difficult to deal with.

Seeing that it was urgent, the sea whispered loudly: "Stop it! The troops stepped forward and surrounded the Song cavalry, one man and one horse are not allowed to be let go!"

Du Zhongxiao stood on the top of the mountain and frowned as he looked at the battle situation below. Although he saw the weapon configuration of the imperial cavalry and heard others talk about the war mode at this time. Influenced by his previous memory, he always felt that the cavalry fighting should be a battle, fighting hard and killing. Therefore, he kept striving for excellence in the cavalry's iron armor and horse equipment, not only achieved the strongest protection, but also did not affect the movement of the personnel and horses. The large amount of reinforcement ribs on it increased a lot of costs. Unexpectedly, when the two sides were fighting, it was like this. The Khitan himself moved the middle gate away and let the iron armored cavalry attack in.

Both Khitan and Dangxiang were known for heavy cavalry, but they were not mainly heavy cavalry. They were also equipped with the sea, but the central army followed him, all of whom were heavy armored, and they were ready to use the opponent's formation to rush forward. Before they could be unfolded, they collided with the iron armored cavalry led by Shisanlang.

It was far away and it was not clear. The Song army gathered closely together and crushed a piece of open space in the Khitan army formation. The two sides quickly joined the flags together. Liu Huai was stunning. If he hadn't rushed into the city, he might have to fight this battle instead of Shisanlang.

At this moment, Du Zhongxiao's order came to Liu Huai and whispered: "Marantor's Military Order, you can enter the city quickly!"

Liu Huai claimed high that he hid Du Zhongxiao's military orders tightly in his underwear with the selected one hundred cavalry. He shouted loudly and rushed straight to the foot of the mountain. At this time, the Khitan cavalry dispersed in chaos, and the front of the military city of Tang Long Town was empty.

Yu Jingyang and Cheng Yue at the top of the city were frightened. Unexpectedly, the reinforcements that came were so strong that they actually fought with the Khitan cavalry and steadily gained the upper hand. Although the number of people was small, the formation was not chaotic. They rushed to the Khitan Central Army, and some of them had the advantage.

After looking for a while, Yu Jingyang said to Cheng Yue: "Look at the fact that this dynasty is fighting against the enemy, it should be wearing iron armor. Is it the imperial guards who came to rescue the capital? In this way, the Khitans are not the opponent, and the siege will be resolved soon. Go back quickly and get things done. Remember, this matter is of great importance to us. If you kill someone, don't be ruthless!"

Cheng Yueyingnuo was turning around and down the city wall. Suddenly, he saw another cavalry rushing down the mountain. He did not go to help but rushed towards the military city. He hurriedly said to Yu Jingyang: "Look at the capital supervisor, another Song army is coming, and he is looking to enter the city!"
