In early spring, the weather was dry and the wind was biting. Outside Taiyuan City, countless Song soldiers continued to attack the city, but the solid Taiyuan City was as stable as ever, and Zhao Kuangyin was quite irritable.

The unexpected accident in the early stage caused the entire Liaozhou to fall and the troops were at the city, but the solidity of Taiyuan City was still unacceptable.

"How many days have we been besieging the city?" Zhao Kuangyin put his waist on his waist and put on his armor, climbing up and looking up. The majestic Taiyuan City seemed like a giant dragon, still as moving as a mountain. Many soldiers were like ants, and could only scratch me.

"It's been five days!" Long Jie on the left side of the house was waiting for Dangjin, and said in a deep voice.

Li Jixun, the governor of Zhaoyi Army, He Jiyun, the governor of Dizhou defense, Kang Yanzhao, the governor of Huaizhou defense, Zhao Zan, the governor of Jianwu, and others all surrounded the emperor.

Although Dang Jin has a low status, he has a good experience. In recent days, he has been trusted by the emperor and often asked questions, but everyone is no longer surprised.

"It's been five days!" Zhao Kuangyin sighed.

He felt that he was a little negligent this time and did not pay too much attention to Taiyuan City. He could not do anything to his city with a few stone throwing cars.

Moreover, the most anxious thing is the Khitans.

"Since that's the case, then the camp will be more maintained. We will attack the Khitans under Taiyuan City!"

Zhao Kuangyin was so arrogant that he pointed to the camp that had built a horn. He said, "The Khitans must have been a tired army on a long journey. We used infantry all day long. The cavalry had been raising their energy for a long time, and it was just a matter of battle."

"No——" the generals and schoolmen shouted, with momentum soaring.

At this time, the Song army inherited the spirit of the Later Zhou Dynasty. Although they were a little afraid of the Khitan cavalry, they did not lack the courage to fight the enemy. Their cavalry were also vegetarian.

Now there are nearly 100,000 Song troops gathered under the city of Taiyuan, and there are 200,000 civilians who transport food and grass.

Among them, more than 40,000 cavalrymen were elite imperial guards. The horses they sat down were fat and strong, and they were superior to the cavalry of the vassal states, showing the might of the court.

Dada dada--

Suddenly, a cavalry rushed over, dust fluttered, and came to everyone, and knelt down and said breathlessly: "Report to Your Majesty, Khitan, Khitan people are here..."

"Finally come!" Zhao Kuangyin said in a deep voice: "How many cavalry are there?"

"The vast area is several miles long, more than ours!" said the scout, "It's only about ten miles away from us, and we can get there in half an hour."

"The Khitans actually paid such a lot!" Li Jixun's face was solemn, and he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, hurry back to the camp, this place is dangerous!"

"I know!" Zhao Kuangyin waved his hand and immediately ordered: "The Khitans suddenly came, tell the soldiers not to attack the city anymore, don't lose it!"

Then the group rode back and set up defenses for the military camp.

Because there were too many Song troops, three military camps were stationed outside Taiyuan City, which were supporting each other. Zhao Kuangyin's camp had the largest number, reaching 50,000.

Therefore, they were not afraid of the arrival of the Khitan cavalry.

Yelu Talie led 60,000 cavalry and came over and looked at the towering Taiyuan City. Then he breathed a sigh of relief. Liu Jun's son finally defended it.

"King, are we going directly into the city?" Seeing Yelu Talie's thoughtful look, the deputy general beside him asked quickly.

"Although the boys have worked harder, they still have some spare energy. What are some Song people?"

Yelu Talie shook his head, his majestic body exuded a fighting spirit. He shook his braid and said:

"You guys will take everyone to rest in the city, and you will take these ten thousand people to explore the camps of the Song people--"

As he said that, he slapped his horse's buttocks and drove away. Then tens of thousands of cavalrymen behind him followed, and the ground was shaking constantly, as if a ground dragon turned over.

Old Yelu Talie was getting stronger and stronger, not inferior to the prime of the man. He laughed and left, which surprised Liu Jiye: "What did this Khitan do?"

"Some of it is to take the opportunity to camp!" Feng Jinke said in a deep voice: "The Khitans look down on us and look down on us Han'er, so they simply want to take advantage of the situation to intimidate the Song people!"

"However, no matter whether it is taking advantage of it, our Taiyuan City has been saved anyway!"

"Yes, we're here again!" Liu Jiye was silent for a while before replying, looking at the Khitan cavalry coming into the city in a row, he felt no feeling in his heart.

He knew that he had to thank these Khitans, but he just couldn't raise his interest. Perhaps it was the dignity of the warriors or his disgust of them. In the past few years, there have been a lot of harassment on the border.

Zhao Kuangyin felt the amazing momentum. The galloping of tens of thousands of Khitan cavalry made the entire land tremble, while the timid civilians curled up their heads and did not dare to look directly at them.

Since horses were tamed, they have been the greatest help in human war. Zhao Kuangyin has understood since childhood that cavalry is an absolute crush against infantry, so only by using cavalry against cavalry can it be considered relative.

The most shocking thing about the Khitans is that they can accumulate hundreds of thousands of cavalry at any time, traversing the battlefield, which is hard to match in the Central Plains.

Observing these Khitans who came in a fierce manner, Zhao Kuangyin's mood became increasingly sinking:

The bald Khitans were free to ride their horses. What's even more terrifying is that most of the cavalry were wearing iron armor and had a hideous face. The long swords emitted a cold and bloody smell. Obviously, the attack was an elite soldier.

"Come on, let the Iron Cavalry Army move out on the left wing, and meet the Khitans for a while!"

Zhao Kuangyin was not afraid, raised his chest and shouted loudly.

"No!" Hu Yanzan, the commander of the Iron Cavalry Army, was burly. Hearing this, he immediately responded and turned his head away.

Watching him leave, Zhao Kuangyin nodded and exclaimed: "Hu Yanzan is really a tiger general!"

After the establishment of the Northern Song Dynasty, the most core and oldest qualifications were the Iron Cavalry and Crane Control Infantry Army, which were used in the Houzhou franchise, the Long Jie Horse Army and the Hujie Infantry Army, which were used in the Houzhou franchise.

These four troops were the four main troops of the Northern Song Dynasty, and the Iron Cavalry and Horse Army in front of the Palace were the elite among the elites, so Zhao Kuangyin was naturally relieved.

In fact, the Northern Song Dynasty today inherited the 200,000 elite imperial guards of the Later Zhou Dynasty, especially the cavalry, with nearly 50,000 people, and more than 100,000 horses.

At that time, the imperial guards had a total of 195 commanders, of which 74 were commanded by cavalry, and cavalry accounted for about 38% of the total.

So Zhao Kuangyin really didn't take the more than 10,000 cavalry in front of him seriously.

"Huh?" Yelu Talie was racing towards him. When he had no choice, the camp suddenly opened and tens of thousands of cavalry suddenly rushed out, and he instantly tightened the reins.

"The Song people are so brave and fearless!" Yelu Talie shook his head, looking at the cavalry team of equal size and fat and strong horses in front of him, he couldn't help but frown:
Chapter completed!
