Movie: Get Alpha Dog at the start

Chapter 185 A reward from the emperor of Liao Kingdom (seeking a monthly ticket!!!)

As for those who did not lay down their weapons, Qin Hao would kill them regardless of whether they were Liao people or Han people from the north, and there was no mercy on the battlefield.

With enough ships, Qin Hao didn't stop at Bohai Port at all, and went up along the Zhangshui River, and soon came to Zhigu Village, which is later Tianjin.

The sixteen prefectures of Yanyun have a vast area and sparsely populated land, and the Liao Kingdom itself is a nomadic people with a small population, so there are not many cities along the way, and Qin Hao is too lazy to attack. Go straight to the rear of Youzhou, instead of attacking the city.

Zhigu Village is an alluvial plain formed by sediment alluvial before the Yellow River diverted its course. The ancient Yellow River diverted its course three times into the sea here. During the Western Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty set up salt officials in Wuqing.The opening of the Grand Canal in the Sui Dynasty made the intersection of the South Canal and the North Canal "Sancha River Estuary".

During the Tang Dynasty, a salt field was opened in Lutai, and a salt warehouse was set up in Baodi.After the middle of the Tang Dynasty, Zhigu Village became a water and land terminal for transporting grain and silk from the south to the north.

The Liao Kingdom itself is a nomadic people, and the demand for salt is very large. Originally, the largest salt farm in the Liao Kingdom was in Yingzhou, but after the Tanyuan Alliance, Yingzhou was recovered by the Song Dynasty, and the salt farm in Zhiguzhai became the largest salt farm in the Liao Kingdom. Naturally, heavy troops were sent to protect the salt field.

What's more, Zhigu Village is still the gate of Youzhou, and the guard of Zhigu Village is Yelu Chutai, a general of the Liao Kingdom, who commands [-] elite cavalry, including [-] Pishi troops. This is the most powerful special force in the Liao Kingdom .

Qin Hao didn't have any cavalry in his hands, so it was hard to chew on such a hard bone. After thinking for a long time, Qin Hao set his sights on the salt field. Yelu Chutai was ordered to guard the salt field, so he must not let the salt field fall into the hands of others.

The enemy must be rescued!
Soon Qin Hao formulated a battle plan. First, let people mix into the saltworks and get in touch with the salt workers inside. Since ancient times, the saltworks has been a place that cannibalize people. Compared with mines, the death rate is high. No more.

The combat effectiveness of salt workers is often very fierce. Huang Chao, Zhang Shicheng, and Fang Guozhen all started their careers from salt workers. These salt workers have been oppressed for a long time, and they will naturally rise up and resist whenever they have a chance to survive.

Qin Hao's purpose was to instigate the salt workers to rebel and cooperate with the outside world to completely devour the elite cavalry of Yelu Chutai and weaken the vital strength of the Liao army in the Youzhou area.

Most of the salt workers in the Zhiguzhai Salt Field were Han Chinese, and there were also some slaves captured by the Liao Kingdom from Koryo and some extinct small tribes. The two parties agreed to start the incident three days later.

Qin Hao also took this opportunity to arrange the surrounding area. The location of the salt field is surrounded by the sea on three sides, and only one side leads to the land. An unknown small slope ten miles away from the salt field is Qin Hao's burial place for Yeluchu Terrace. land.

Three days later, at Zishi, under the leadership of Qin Hao's personal guards, the miners in the saltworks smashed the sleeping guards to death with tools such as pickaxes, shovels, and hammers, and at the same time lit the stables. The night sky looked extraordinarily dazzling.

Yeluchutai reacted very quickly and led a group of cavalry to the salt field soon. However, Qin Hao's personal guards had already made full preparations and poured the hot brine around the salt field. .

Yelu Chutai was furious, but he could only order some cavalry to dismount and rush into the saltworks to suppress the rebellion.

However, Yelu Chutai underestimated the combat effectiveness of these salt workers. Although the weapons were outdated, the salt workers were brave and brave, and the Liao army fell into a bitter battle.

At this moment, Yelu Chutai's heart trembled suddenly with the sound of beating drums. He knew very well that only the Song army would use this kind of drum sound as an attack signal.

Normally, he wouldn't pay attention to the weak Song Jun at all, but at this time, Song Jun's appearance made him turn pale with shock.

One after another torches illuminated the sky in the distance, and the shouts of the Song army moved from far to near, and the neat steps stepped on the hearts of every Liao army soldier.

They were very puzzled, didn't they say that Song Jun was weak?Is this the aura that a weak army can show?

Qin Hao had already surrounded the salt field. The front row consisted of infantrymen holding giant shields. Behind them were pikemen. Gunpoints gleaming with cold light protruded from the gaps in the shields. The other end of the spearheads The gun body is made of white wood pole against the ground, which is extremely willful, even if it is hit by a horse weighing hundreds of catties, it is difficult to break it.

Behind the pikemen are the crossbowmen, the crossbows are facing the sky at a 45-degree angle, and they are ready to throw.

Yelu Chutai deserved to be a general of the Liao Kingdom, and he reacted instantly. He glanced at the soldiers who were still fighting in the salt field with red eyes, turned his horse's head, and gave a loud shout. All the remaining cavalry followed suit and turned towards Qin Hao's army formation. rushed over.

The sound of rumbling horseshoes shook the ground, giving people a huge impact like an earthquake.

However, when the cavalry from Yeluchutai came a hundred paces in front of Qin Hao's formation, Qin Hao suddenly heard shouting: "Extinguish the fire torch! Light the fire wall!"

In an instant, the cavalry led by Yelu Chutai suddenly went dark, and the direction where Qin Hao's army was originally located was pitch black, as if a giant beast in the night was waiting for them to throw itself into the net with its huge mouth open.

It's just that Yeluchutai had no way out at this time, and if the cavalry had no speed, they would be living targets. He didn't believe that Qin Hao could make any changes to restrain his cavalry in such a short period of time.

However, in the next second, rockets were launched one after another, but they did not land among the cavalry, but landed ten steps away from them.

"Boom~~~" A wall of fire suddenly appeared, and the horse was frightened. In the panic, a group of people turned their backs, and the speed of the horse's impact slowed down instantly.

At this moment, there were bursts of piercing sounds in the darkness, Yelu Chutai yelled secretly, and hurriedly turned the horse horizontally, and hid himself on the side of the horse's belly.

There were only screams, familiar Khitan language, and the neighing of war horses.

Yeluchutai's war horse was also hit by several arrows, and fell to the ground with a scream. Yeluchutai rolled over and ignored the pain. Seeing an unowned horse, he jumped on it and shouted in Khitan language.

At this time, the Pishi army also reacted from the initial panic, gathered around Yeluchutai and rushed towards Qin Hao's army, roaring.

The distance of fifty steps was fleeting, and when there were still about ten steps away, Qin Hao shouted again: "Raise the fire!"

The torches were ignited again and raised up, and a large light suddenly appeared in front of the dark place. The horses were startled again, and a large number of Liao cavalrymen collided together and were trampled into meat paste by the comrades behind.

Yelu Chutai's heart is bleeding. These are the elite troops of the Liao Kingdom, especially the Pishi Army. The entire Liao Kingdom only has [-] troops. Even if he can escape this battle, he will not escape the responsibility.

It's just that he can't care about so much now, he can only grit his teeth and rush forward, he knows that only by breaking through the opponent's army formation can he have a chance of life.

Soon the distance between the two sides was only a few steps away. Seeing that they were about to engage in hand-to-hand combat, Qin Hao ordered: "First row, stab!"

The silvery spearheads suddenly magnified before the eyes of the cavalry.

Puff puff puff, the muffled sound of sharp objects piercing the flesh came, accompanied by screams, the cavalry of the Liao Kingdom lost more than a hundred in an instant.

"Second row of thorns!"

There was another muffled sound, the wailing of human beings, and the neighing of military horses resounded through the night sky at this moment.

Yelu Chutai's eyes were red and he shouted in Khitan: "Go out and kill the enemy general!"

After finishing speaking, he rushed towards Qin Hao's position at the head of the horse, and the powerful impact of the cavalry soon caused a lot of damage to Qin Hao's army formation.

These giant shields are double shields specially made by Qin Hao, and each shield is held by two strong men. However, many people were still knocked into the air, and some were directly hit so that they vomited blood, and even injured many people. Miss the crossbowmen behind him.

Qin Hao shouted: "Don't mess around, the pikemen fill the gap! The crossbowmen continue to throw!"

At this time, the real hand-to-hand combat began. The Liao army's cavalry continued to attack the Song army's formation, and the Song army's characteristic spears also brought huge casualties to the Liao army. The two sides had long been jealous.

However, the impact force of the cavalry is only one round, and Qin Hao's army is twice the size of the Liao army. As long as he survives this wave of impact, the Liao army will surely be defeated.

Yeluchutai naturally understood this point after a long experience in the battlefield, so he shouted to the Pishi army beside him: "Send me there!"

Such a Yelu Chutai actually wanted to take the head of the general among the ten thousand armies, and his goal was directed at Qin Hao who was dispatched in the play.

Qin Hao also noticed Yelu Chutai's side, and directly sent Cui Zhi out. As long as there was a few more delays, the Liao army would surely be defeated.

However, Qin Hao still underestimated the fighting power of the Pishi army. These Pishi troops were wearing battle armor, and their spears were like poisonous snakes. Every time they stabbed out, they could take the life of a Song army soldier.

Up to now, the fight was full of vigor, Qin Hao also pulled out the simple knife, jumped on the horse, and all the guards also rode to follow Qin Hao towards Yeluchutai.

The two groups were entangled like two whirlwinds, and in an instant, each side dropped a dozen corpses, and Qin Hao's simple knife slammed down on Yeluchutai.

A flash of excitement flashed in Yelu Chutai's eyes. He knew very well that the morale of this Song army was all on the enemy general in front of him. As long as he killed the opponent, he could turn the situation around in one fell swoop and turn defeat into victory.

However, when Qin Hao's Pu Dao smashed towards him with a whirring sound, Yelu Chutai's pupils shrank together. The opponent's speed was too fast, and he had no time to make the first move, so he had to change his move Parry.

With a muffled sound of "bang", Yelu Chutai felt his arms go numb. He was astonished that the strength of the opponent was so great. Fortunately, the opponent used a simple knife. If he used heavy weapons such as hammers and axes, he would only I'm afraid it has been smashed.

As the two horses staggered, Yelu Chutai saw the face of the enemy's coach clearly. What shocked him even more was that the opponent was so young.

Qin Hao also felt the opponent's strength, and couldn't help feeling that all the ancient generals were monsters, and the strength he accumulated through crazy training in several worlds was only a tie with the opponent.

Before he had time to think about it, Qin Hao swung the plain knife again and slashed at Yelu Chutai's neck. Yelu Chutai quickly dodged it, and his legs clamped the horse's belly, and the army horse rushed forward, pulling away from Qin Hao. distance.

Qin Hao was particularly envious of this riding skill. His riding skills were actually quite good, but it was almost embarrassing to react like this at a critical moment of life and death. As expected of a nation that grew up on horseback.

However, the admiration is nothing but admiration, but Qin Hao didn't give the opponent any time to breathe. He slapped the horse's butt and rushed towards Yelu Chutai again. Yelu Chutai could only grit his teeth and fight Qin Hao into a ball.

During the entanglement between the two, the Liao army had already been eroded a lot, and the power of the Song army's formation began to show after withstood the first wave of cavalry attacks.

The shield stuck the Liao army's horses, making them unable to advance or retreat. The pikemen severely harvested the heads of the Liao army cavalry. The Song army also transformed at this moment after seeing the blood. At the critical moment of life and death, they forgot their fear and tension. Faith is to kill the enemies in front of you, only in this way can they survive.

Even the elite leather army is useless at this moment. Not only are they entangled by Qin Hao's personal guards, but they also have to keep an eye out for those insidious pikemen. In the past, this kind of army in the Song Dynasty was a rival in their eyes. The wine and food have now become their life-threatening talismans. From time to time, people will be stabbed and picked off their horses. There are also pikemen who don't talk about martial arts, and specifically attack the horses. After falling off the horses, they will be beheaded immediately kill.

Yelu Chutai saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart. He wanted to get rid of Qin Hao's entanglement several times and join the Pishi army. At this time, he no longer expected to turn defeat into victory, and only wanted to lead the remaining participating troops to retreat. Out of the battlefield, as long as you leave the army formation of the Song Dynasty, the opponent will not be able to catch up with them without cavalry.

However, Qin Hao didn't give him this chance at all. No matter what tactics Yelu Chutai used, he couldn't get rid of it, and because of his distraction, he had been hit several times. If the armor on his body was not thick enough, he would have lost his fighting power long ago. up.

Yelu Chutai suddenly reined in the reins and whistled, and all the leather warriors gathered in an instant to rush out of the army formation. However, at this moment, Qin Hao seized the opportunity and changed his chops to a horizontal one. Chutai's waist.

Yelu Chutai was cut off from his horse before he could react, and Cui Zhi was the quickest to react and shouted: "The enemy general is dead, put down your weapon quickly, dismount and accept surrender!"

There was a moment of tranquility in the originally chaotic battlefield. Liao army cavalry looked at the scene in disbelief, and saw Qin Hao raising the simple knife with one hand and shouting loudly: "Your general has been beheaded by me, I don't want to die!" Dismount and accept surrender!"

The resistance of the Liao army collapsed. Some people began to try to escape from the battlefield, while others dismounted and surrendered.

Qin Hao no longer hesitated, and ordered: "Destroy them!"

A quarter of an hour later, the Pishi Army of 500 people, the elite of the Liao Kingdom that made the world fearful, was completely annihilated in this way, and the remaining Liao cavalry also lost their will to resist.

At this time, someone on the battlefield suddenly yelled: "The Great Song Wansheng!!!"

"Big Song Wansheng!!!"

Having just gone through a big battle, everyone's emotions were released at this moment, and Qin Hao also smiled. He knew that after this battle, a strong army was truly formed.

After counting the battlefield, Qin Hao couldn't help feeling the fighting power of the Liao Army. He used so many methods to limit the impact of the Liao Army's cavalry, and still caused huge casualties to the Song Army.

In this battle, the Song army had more than [-] casualties, while the Liao army had more than [-] casualties. The Pishi army was completely annihilated, with [-] prisoners. Others died in the saltworks.

To Qin Hao's surprise, all the Liao soldiers in the salt field died, and out of the two thousand salt workers, more than 300 survived.

Qin Hao gave them two choices, either give them a sum of money and let them go home, or join the army and fight against the Khitans with him.

In the end, a thousand salt workers chose to join the army, and many of them were slaves kidnapped from the Liao Kingdom. Most of them are ethnic minorities who are skilled in bow and horse.

Qin Hao reorganized these people and established a cavalry force of 1000 people, which was just enough to perfectly digest the war horses captured from the Yelu Chutai Department. One person and three cavalry were more than enough.

Although the number of cavalry is a little less, they can still do something, at least they have a bit of pursuit ability. When encountering a small group of Liao cavalry, they will not have to watch them escape calmly.

The rest of the wounded will be transported by the Mingzhou Navy to Da Song for better treatment, and the military doctors accompanying the army will also do emergency medical treatment, and they will have to rely on the rear for recuperation. These are soldiers who have seen blood on the battlefield. Very precious.

After three days of repairs, Qin Hao left a group of Mingzhou navy to guard the port, and the rest set sail again and turned into the Sanggan River, heading for Youzhou.

Along the way, Qin Hao would attack small towns that were closer to the Sanggan River, and then asked the local people to tear down all the city walls. He didn't have many troops, so he couldn't divide his troops and tear down the city walls. There is no need to worry about the Liao State using these towns to build fortifications to cut off his logistical supply lines.

While Qin Hao was advancing triumphantly all the way, the Liao Kingdom also received the news that Yelu Chutai was defeated and died.

Yelu Hongji, the emperor of the Liao Kingdom, was furious when he saw the report: "This Yelu Chutai is simply a waste!"

It is no wonder that Yelu Hongji was so angry. You must know that this was the worst defeat of the Liao Kingdom against the Song Dynasty. Not only did it lose [-] cavalry, but it also took in [-] leather troops. This is undoubtedly a severe blow to his face. A slap on the face.

For a while, the court of the Liao Kingdom was shocked. From the perspective of the Liao Kingdom's monarchs and ministers, the Song Dynasty had lost its ability to resist since Zhao Guangyi's two Northern Expeditions failed. It was originally thought that the Northern Expedition would be easily extinguished, but the sudden defeat made it all over the place. Everyone was vigilant. If the Song Dynasty really took back the Sixteen States of Yanyun, it would be a huge threat to the regime of the Liao Kingdom. It was hard to guarantee that the Song Dynasty would not use the Sixteen States of Yanyun to destroy the Liao Kingdom.

What's more, Xixia and various ethnic minority tribes, which were previously intimidated by the powerful military strength of the Liao Kingdom, will also be ready to move.

"Qin Hao! If this person is not eliminated, the widow will have trouble sleeping and eating. Pass on the will of the widow. Whoever kills this person will be rewarded with a thousand taels of gold, and will be named the governor of Kaiguo! Give a thousand cattle and sheep, and three thousand acres of pasture!"

At the same time, the news that Qin Hao wiped out the [-] cavalry of Yelu Chutai also spread to Bianjing City in an expedited way of eight hundred miles.
