On the top of the city, Ma Huaide and Li Weixian watched the battle outside the city. After a while, they put down their telescope and said, "It has been ten days since today, and the Khitans are still on the offensive. Fortunately, our army is not comparable before, and the Khitans cannot gain any advantage."

Li Weixian said: "Yes, it's really hard to bear for ten days. On the first day, the Khitans attacked, and many troops scattered as soon as they rushed. Fortunately, the Meng Party and the army were there, so they would not be in chaos no matter how they rushed. Without him, how could the dispersed army be accommodated? Until now, there is more than enough defense outside. In my opinion, they can counterattack in a few days."

Ma Huaide nodded. After a while, he suddenly smiled and said, "This is the first time I have been in the army for decades. I was watching the city when I was fighting. In the past, I must have been wearing a strong and holding a sharp edge on the battlefield. This time I fought for ten days, but I haven't left the city yet."

The current Song army, commanders above the regiment, do not go to the front line and command behind the back. Moreover, the attack is not mentioned now, but individual bravery is not mentioned, but the army uses collective strength to overcome the enemy. At this level of Ma Huaide, in fact, rarely visit the front line, but controls the overall situation in the rear. The Ganning Army is quite special, and the Military Command has not been established and the front line lacks officers, so this strange thing happened.

Seeing the Khitan army slowly retreating, Ma Huaide said: "It's still early. Today I will recruit several division leaders to enter the city and drink and celebrate. After a few days, it's probably time to counterattack and let them prepare in advance."

Li Weixian was stunned for a moment: "Are you going to counterattack? Until now, the main force of the court has not moved, which makes people a little suspicious."

Ma Huaide said: "There will be three more days, the leap month will be. This year, one more month, and the ice will disappear in February next year, so I won't wait too long. Last month, the Khitan army should retreat. It just so happened that the ice on the road disappeared, so it would be difficult for them to leave."

Li Weixian nodded and said nothing. These news were considered by Ma Huaide, who was the head coach, and there were also sources of information. Although Li Weixian was also the commander-in-chief of the military, he actually became a deputy in Gan Ningjun, so there was no need to consider these.

Meng Xuejiao returned to the commander's tent, took off his armor, and let out a light breath. The Khitans have been attacking fiercely in the past few days, but the Song army gradually became familiar with the battlefield, and reinforcements and artillery were transported, so it became easier and easier to defend. In the past three days, no Song army has been dispersed again, and the Khitan offensive has been frustrated.

Just as he sat down, the personal soldiers came in and crossed their hands and said, "Teacher Master, Ma Taiwei Order, the division masters enter the city immediately."

Meng Xuezhao stood up and said, "Take my husband's servants. Also, let me know the leaders of the group, be careful and pay attention to the movements of the Khitan."

The personal soldiers said their promise.

Meng Xuezhao changed his public uniform and left the commander's tent. When he saw Xie Chi next to him, he hurriedly chased after him. Meeting Xie Chi, Meng Xuezhao said, "How was your injury a few days ago? You have been moving freely these few days."

Xie Chi patted his chest: "I have a great life, how can I kill myself with one arrow? It took a few days to get better."

Meng Xuejue hurriedly congratulated. Xie Chi was really lucky. He was shot in the chest with an arrow and still went into battle the next day, and he became stronger and more mature. Today, his injuries have almost healed. After receiving this arrow, he was not only healthy, but also stronger and more mature.

The two of them walked together, talking gossip while walking.

Xie Chi said: "Although the Khitans still have fierce attacks in the past or two days, they can't do anything to us. Not only can they not scatter the army, but they also suffer a lot of casualties every time. In my opinion, if the Khitans will not be able to attack for a few more days."

Meng Xuejue said: "At the beginning, we were panicked, but the longer we fought, the more we had the rules. And there were reinforcements and weapons such as artillery, which increased and decreased. The Khitans were naturally no match. If we persisted for five or six days, we might try to counterattack."

Xie Chi heard this and said, "Speaking of this, there are Liu Ji and Liu Jianji's 100,000 troops in Hejian Prefecture, and they have never come to support the Ganning Army. If they counterattack, they should be sent. Although the number of others is not much greater than that of us, they are strong troops that have been trained for a long time."

Meng Xuezhao shook his head: "To be honest, I feel more and more that even if the counterattack is counterattacked, the army of Hejian Prefecture will not come to fight the Ning army. Now the war has come, the Khitan cannot conquer Cangzhou in the south, and it cannot gain the upper hand here, and the situation is already very bad. This dynasty counterattack should not only be to attack the Khitans, but to think about how to destroy them. If the 400,000 army is really destroyed, the Khitan will have no power to fight for decades."

Xie Chi thought for a while and said, "In this way, the main force of the court has not come to fight the Khitan decisively. Could it be that we are just preparing to destroy the Khitan army? That's right, our army has been trained for less than a year, and there are not enough officers, but they are just half-baked. However, they were sent to the Ganning Army to fight the Khitan elite for ten days. Ten days have passed and they have gradually gained the upper hand. The real elite troops of the court are not easy to defeat the Khitan!"

Meng Xuejue said: "That's true. Now it seems that Shuai Si has probably known that the Khitan army is in poor condition and cannot fight the main army of the court. What they are waiting for may be the right time to leave the Khitan army here."

Xie Chi nodded and said nothing for a moment. After thinking for a while, he suddenly said, "The main force of Khitan is 400,000 and the signing of 400,000 troops. If you win this battle, it will shake the foundation of the Khitan country. Oh, this is a rare war in history!"

After saying that, I couldn't help but feel excited. I fought every day these days and had no time or energy to think about other things. After hearing Meng Xuejue's statement, I suddenly realized that the Khitan opposite, which was in high morale, was actually very harsh.

After a while, Xie Chi said, "We can see this, can't the Khitans see it?"

Meng Xuezhao sighed: "The things in the world are so wonderful. I can see them, but I always have luck and keep making mistakes. The Khitans always thought that they had an advantage in fighting against the army of this dynasty and were not afraid of us counterattacking. These days it was time to see that as long as we don't have any problems, where will the Khitans have a chance? I'm afraid that the coach on the opposite side would not say this to the above."

Xie Chi shook his head: "A hundred thousand troops, more than 100,000 troops, and more than 10,000 heavy cavalry, how dare he say he won? He must have said that he has been winning all the time, and he can defeat us by just one effort. Scholars, our army is very unbearable. After ten days of fighting, it is not comparable to the Khitan army. How can they be opponents of the rest of the main armies?"

As the two of them spoke, they entered the city gate and entered the government office and saluted Ma Huaide and Li Weixian.

Ma Huaide said: "Today I saw on the city wall that the Khitan offensive has declined, so we should not be able to do anything to our army. We have fought hard for ten days, thank you for your hard work. Today we have prepared a special banquet to let you come back and drink. From today on, the war will be different."

Meng Xuezhao and Xie Chi hurriedly thanked each other and sat down aside.

Soon, the three masters under Li Weixian, Miao Yi, Yu Dong and Xia Xinle, arrived and each sat down.

Ma Huaide said: "Ten days of hard fighting, and today we finally stopped the Khitan momentum. It's time for you to relax. Come to the yamen today and use some wine and food. Go back to the battlefield tomorrow and fight with the Khitan for a few more games. When they retreat, we will win."

Xia Xinle said: "Today's Khitan offensive is still fierce, but our army used its life to repel them in time. The Grand Marshal, it seems that the Khitans attach great importance to their heavy cavalry and are now cautious. They are no longer rushing up as before, as they started the war."

Ma Huaide said: "How precious are heavy cavalry equipped with men and horses? Even if the Khitan is a big country, there are not many. If the Khitans can be wiped out ten thousand heavy cavalry under Ganning City, the opponent's head coach will probably not be able to bear it."

Yu Dong smiled and said, "It's not that. We just don't need to re-cat. Otherwise, the 100,000 army would be easy."

Ma Huaide shook his head and said, "How can it be the same? Iron armor is not very valuable in this dynasty. Now there are horses, so it's not a big deal to 100,000 heavy cavalry. But for the Khitan, 100,000 iron armor is not easy. Iron armor horse harnesses are not easy, and there are fewer horses to use, and there are not enough suitable soldiers. I heard that there are only 30,000 iron cavalry in the Khitan country, and half of them are the opposite."

Xia Xinle said: "No wonder the Khitans are so expensive. After fighting for ten days, their iron cavalry died at least a few thousand people, and the other party should be afraid of the coach. To be honest, these iron cavalry are not difficult to fight."

Li Weixian said: "Why do you say that? You forgot that, when the iron cavalry first arrived, many troops would disperse as soon as they rushed!"

After hearing this, the few people thought this matter was a bit absurd. Until now, even if thousands of iron cavalry rushed over and several armies cooperated, they could make them unable to rush in front of the army. But just a few days ago, thousands of iron cavalry rushed over and many armies were helpless.
