After the 150,000 army was transformed into mules and horses, they traveled more than 80 miles a day, while the 20,000 cavalrymen who led the vanguard arrived in Yingzhou in just a few days.

But when we went to Yingzhou, we only had 800 miles. At the speed of the Khitans, we had already arrived for two or three days.

When Hu Yanzan and Liu Guangyi arrived, Yu Pass had been rubbed for several days and arrived. When they arrived at the city after a simple repair, they still had strong defensive power.

"The Khitan is really amazing!" Hu Yanzan mocked, "It's so whimsical that he actually wants to use cavalry to attack the city!"

"But these 100,000 cavalry are not fake!"

Liu Guangyi looked at the military tent that covered the sky and the sun, and couldn't help but sigh: "The only thing that depends on is cavalry, but cavalry is often the decisive force."

After all the Central Plains, the entire imperial camp only had 50,000 cavalry, not because there were no war horses, and there were not so many riders. Training a qualified cavalry would be ineffective without three to five years.

However, for the Khitans, there is no shortage of people, and war horses have become the key.

War horses are screened from ordinary horses and require special training. They are also precious for the Khitans, and basically one hundred horses are stored.

The sky and the sun were covered, and the roar of horses could be heard even in Yuguan. More than 100,000 war horses were heard.

The food of the Khitans was cattle and sheep, and the cattle and sheep were grazed all over the mountains. Before, Yang Ye attacked the cattle and sheep that were grazing as a breakthrough point and attacked them at night.

"They can't last long!" Liu Guangyi made a judgment: "Unless we are constantly driving sheep from the grassland, the Khitans will not last for ten days."

Ordinary herders on the grassland do not eat mutton every day. Their food is just a derivative of animals such as wool milk, or cow milk, horse milk, and horse blood. It can be said that their daily life is very barren.

However, on the battlefield, there can be enough meat, so nomadic tribes are obsessed with war, which not only means plundering and harvesting, but also means fullness.

Even, I can’t see wine every once a year.

"That's right!" Cao Bin walked over and looked at the dense cavalry, and couldn't help but say: "There are no Han people who can rob, they can only consume the Khitans' food. Even those Xi people and Bohai people are willing, the Khitans will not be happy."

"But you missed a place - Liaodong."

"Oh? Are you talking about the old land of the Bohai Sea?" Liu Guangyi has been observing maps frequently and immediately remembered Liaodong.

This is the essence of the Bohai Kingdom, with agriculture and handicrafts, all available. The Bohai people are good at hunting and farming. Although the weather in the north is harsh, there is still a lot of food in this fertile place in Liaodong.

It was easy for the Khitans to call for food from Liaodong.

"I sent someone to observe that the Khitans would drink porridge in the morning, meat at noon, and horse milk and goat milk at night. It should be no problem to consume this and support it for a month."

Cao Bin sighed.

Hearing this, the few people were silent. The strength of the Khitans should not be underestimated!

Everyone in Yuguan was like this, and Yelu Xian outside the city was also quite angry: "I never thought that the Tang people actually shrank into the city, which was really disgusting."

"Your Majesty calm down!" Yelu Wuzhi said softly: "The Tang people are not good at field battles, and we are not good at attacking cities. This is destined by heaven."

"No, the Tang people have a heavy cavalry!"

Yelu Xiu Ge hurriedly bowed and said in a deep voice: "The man and horse armor are crushing for ordinary cavalry, and the sweat has to be guarded!"

"We also need to form our own heavy cavalry!"

Yelu Xian sighed and said seriously: "It's just ordinary armor, war horses cannot bear it, and they need to be specially made. However, they have to carefully consider their armor and equipment, which will be difficult to obtain for a while!"

Upon hearing this, Yelu Xiu Ge sighed. He was really defeated by the heavy cavalry and it was really hard to swallow this.

When Yelu Wuzhi heard this, a trace of obscurity appeared on his face, which had been frigid for a long time. He shook his head. His age in his sixties gave him a lot of experience, but he really didn't know about the heavy cavalry.

However, after Yelu Xiuge's description, he understood that this might be the means by the Tang people to end the hegemony of the Khitan grasslands.

"Since the heavy cavalry is very powerful, now that it is in Yuguan, it must be eliminated."

"I imagine that the Tang people cherish such a powerful cavalry very much."

"Hey!" Yelu Xian sighed and said, "What the North Court said is exactly, but how can the cavalry attack the city? This is really difficult for us."

Unexpectedly, when Yelu Wuzhi heard this, his face changed instantly. Looking at Dahan's young face, he couldn't help but explain: "It is their honor to let those Bohai people, Shiwei people, and Xi people fight and kill them."

"In the past two years, tens of thousands of Khitan warriors have been lost, so they should be killed or injured more to absolutely maintain the Khitan's advantage."

"But that is a submissive tribe. If it consumes too much, won't it let the rebellious tribe succeed?"

Yelu Xian said in confusion.

"Sweat!"

Yelu Wuzhi said in an extremely serious tone: "Just remember one thing, even if you obey the wild wolf on the grassland, it will not be able to support it. Once they see the master's slightest slackness, they will pounce on it, their bones will be gnawed and their bones will not be left."

"Now these tribes seem to be obedient. The war is not expected to go well. When they go back, they will change their minds if they change a lot."

Hearing this, Yelu Xian's expression changed suddenly and he thought about it carefully. This was extremely reasonable.

The Khitan nobles on the side nodded. As long as they could maintain the overlord status of the Khitan, what would be despicable methods? They were not Han people and were not shameful.

As soon as his thinking changed, Yelu Xian became cheerful in an instant.

He is not only considering defeating the enemy and winning, but treating Yuguan as a mill to grind the flesh and blood of the tribe gradually growing, and to consider defeat before he wants to win. This is the best strategy.

The first two times he was a little too much, which made many tribes dissatisfied, but after guidance, he immediately became familiar with it and properly worn out, leaving these tribes speechless.

Therefore, even if he returned without success this time, the damage to the Khitan was not that great, and they were all under control.

And for everyone in Yuguan, they suffered a lot.

Tens of thousands of people tirelessly climbed the two-meter-high Yuguan, which made Cao Bin and others quite depressed.

Not only is the Khitan cavalry very poor to attack the city, but it is also difficult for cavalry to defend the city!

The generals naturally knew that defending the city like this, but the soldiers were busy and busy, and many of the equipment to guard the city were lacking, such as bows and arrows, which was really insufficient.
