With Cai You's order, Zhongdao quickly took over the defense of Yingzhou City.

Although the lieutenants of the school were disdainful, they did not dare to cause trouble.

The collapsed houses became ready-made equipment to defend the city. Zhongdao said to the people in the city: "The Khitan people think that you are helping us defend the city. After the city is destroyed, no chickens or dogs will be left behind. Those who don't want to die will obey orders and do things."

Under the coercion and inducement of Zhongdao, the people of Yingzhou City began to help the Song army transport defensive equipment to the city wall. The houses of Yingzhou people were all knocked down by the Khitan stone bullets. A large number of bricks and beams were destroyed. The best choice for defending the city.

Zhongdao arranged the places cleared by the civilians into battlefields one after another, and made a lot of arrangements in the city. Even if the city wall was completely occupied, as long as they were not dead, they could still fight.

Everything was prepared in an orderly manner under Zhongdao's arrangement, but before he was ready, the Khitan's attack horn sounded.

"Ascend the city." Zhongdao shouted, and the Song army also blew the horn.

Before the Khitans could approach, Zhongdao led three thousand heavy armored infantrymen, opened the city gate, and welcomed them out.

Although he didn't know what the Song people had planned, how could Tusuer miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Then he ordered the infantry to disperse on both sides and let the cavalry charge.

The 2000 knights held up their cold weapons and attacked the Song army in a cone shape on the vast land.

Looking at the Khitan cavalry getting closer and closer with astonishing momentum, Zhongdao remained strangely calm and did not make any defensive or offensive gestures. He stood blankly, as if frightened by the momentum of the cavalry charge.

Tusuer stood on the siege truck and overlooked all this. The corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise. He had already eaten in his heart the Song army seeking death.

He had already forgotten the words Xiao Zhan told him before leaving.

The Khitan soldiers used their speed and strength to the extreme and raised their bows and arrows to shoot at the Song army.

The motionless Song army finally made some movement, only to hear Zhongdao shouting: "Block." All the Song army turned their backs and only heard the clanging sound. The Song army directly used their armor to block the arrows of the Khitan cavalry. An injury.

At the same time, a large number of archers suddenly appeared on Yingzhou City, like ghosts, appearing very suddenly without anyone noticing in advance.

When everyone found out, the overwhelming array of arrows densely covered the entire sky, and the black arrow rain roared and crackled down like raindrops.

The charging Khitan cavalry rushed directly into the arrow formation without any precautions, and their horses fell on the charging road one after another. The cavalry at the rear quickly dispersed to both sides, avoiding the Song people's arrow formation, leaving only a few hundred full of arrows. The body was shot with arrows.

The entire battlefield fell silent, no one would have expected this outcome.

Zhongdao looked at the place where the Khitan commander's flag was, and made a gesture of wiping his neck. Then he slowly stepped forward, cut off the head of a Khitan cavalryman in front of all the Khitan people, and raised it above his head.

He shouted: "Khitan dog thief, do you have the courage to fight? I will wait at the city gate."

In an instant, everything in the world seemed to have been pressed on the pause button. There was no wind, no air, not even breathing.

When Zhongdao walked back to the team, the Song army broke out and shouted: "The general is mighty, the Song army is victorious..."

One side is silent!

A tsunami roars from one side of the mountain!

"Kill." Tusu'er only spat out this word, which seemed to contain the power of all the Khitan people.

Roars, roars, and sounds of grief and anger dominated the Khitan people's main theme.

The Song army standing at the top of the city kept firing volleys, trying to stop the Khitan attack again, but the Khitan people were already prepared to hold up their shields and rush to the city gate without fear of life or death.

Zhongdao had already led his people back to the city gate, and the Khitan people also rushed in together.

What greeted them was the spears of the Song army. The Khitan soldiers who rushed in only heard a scream and then lay down silently.

The spearheads shone with cold light and were still dripping blood. The Khitan people were unable to break through the dense spear formation of the Song army for a while.

The archers couldn't shoot through the heavy armor of the Song army, which was comparable to cheating. The Khitan also had heavy armor. Although it was bulky, the protection was not as good as that of the Song army, so they couldn't care much at this time.

A Khitan general said: "Put on heavy armor, push in, and we will push them out." In this city gate hole, the Khitan people's advantage could not be used at all.

Soon, 100 dead soldiers wearing heavy armor and holding swords began to advance in according to the Song Army's pattern.

Even though Song Jun's spear was stuck on his body, he did not waver. He picked up the knife and slashed at Song Jun's spear.

The Khitans just relied on the dead soldiers, leaving corpses along the way, and finally slowly drove the Song army out of the city gate. At this time, several burning jars were suddenly thrown from the Song army.

"No, it's a fire oil can."

Before the Khitan general finished speaking, a fire broke out in the city gate, and the Khitan people were unable to escape.

Several Song soldiers who were also stained with kerosene hurriedly retreated. Someone used sand and wet cloth to extinguish the fire. The Song soldiers seemed to be alive and well, and there was nothing wrong with them.

He took the tea handed to him by the man next to him and stuffed his mouth with biscuits. Then he picked up the weapon and turned around to join the reserve team, ready to replace others at any time.

...

Cai You and Wang Zhen stood on a tall building in the distance and watched all this.

"My lord, is this too risky? Cutting off the heads of the Khitans in front of the Khitans. Under such stimulation, I'm afraid the Khitans will attack the city at all costs!"

Cai You sighed and said, "Otherwise, we will have to kneel under the Khitan horses at night and wait to die."

Seeing no one around, Cai You asked, "Did the Khitan's stone bullets and kerosene really kill more than 3 of us?"

Wang Xun declined and said: "Sure enough, I couldn't hide it from my husband's discernment. The Khitans' stone bullets and fire killed more than 3 civilians. Almost all of our army's casualties came from fighting with the Khitans in the east city."

But don't worry, sir, I have ordered people to carry away all the fallen soldiers secretly, and these rough guys will not find them. "

Cai You inadvertently took a breath of cold air. Thirty thousand of his own troops were killed, and less than 3 of the enemy's men were replaced. Are these really Khitan garrison troops?

How strong should the imperial army and palace cavalry stationed in the north face the Jurchens be?

A sense of crisis suddenly surged in his heart, "Both the Khitans and Jurchens are so powerful. Is it right for me, the Song Dynasty, to intervene in their fight?" Cai You asked Wang Zhen.

Wang Zhen didn't understand what Cai You was talking about at all. He was thinking about survival, so he replied casually: "How to decide from above? It's up to the Xianggong and the officials to discuss it. The lower officials can just follow the order. The Xianggong and the officials will definitely not decide." It would be wrong.”

Cai You said with a smile: "It can't be wrong? How can people not make mistakes? It's just like two tigers competing to eat the sheep first."

Then he looked into the distance and muttered: "If you plant a family, you plant the Tao."

"The Frontier Force seems to be the only hope."
