This battle was fought until it was completely dark, and the remaining more than 4,000 people of the Liao army were almost wiped out, and less than half of them ran away, and Wang Hao had to ask how many were injured.

This thief dared not flee immediately even if he knew that the new army had encountered a strong enemy, but still followed more than ten miles behind, and intercepted and killed two groups of Liao army horses running south along the post road. I don't know what they're going to do, so I'll shoot them down anyway.

When he saw many Liao soldiers and war horse corpses lying on both sides of the post road, but there were no new army soldiers, he immediately knew that he had caught up with the big deal, and resolutely followed behind.

Relying on this tenacity and courage, Wang Hao really made a big profit, what? Horses and people! These dozens of miles of road followed by a soft hand just picking up war horses, and by the way, all the heads of the Khitan soldiers on both sides of the road were cut off, and they were all beheaded regardless of whether they were alive or dead!

It is understandable that if you want war horses, these are all good horses in Liao, and they can be sold at sky-high prices when they are pulled to the southern ports, even if they are treated at a parity price to the imperial court Ma Zheng, it is a big windfall.

But what's the use of cutting off so many Khitan heads? Hey, in fact, the Khitan people's heads are not cheaper than war horses, and they don't need to be fed forage, so they take up a small place and are easy to carry.

Can the Khitan heads be sold for money? That's right, since the Taizu Dynasty, the Northern Song Dynasty court has issued a reward order to purchase the Khitan head at a price of twenty silks.

Zhao Kuangyin, Taizu of the Song Dynasty, said in person: "The Khitan invaded the border, and I bought a Khitan head with 20 horses of silk, and its elite soldiers were only 100,000, and it didn't cost me 2 million horses of silk, so the Khitan was exhausted." ”

If Hong Tao knew that he must especially agree with these words, the Northern Song Dynasty was really not good at fighting, but they made money neatly. Promote your strengths and avoid weaknesses, let's use money to stone you to death, whether you accept it or not!

In the Renzong Dynasty, the bounty order was basically abolished, and the two countries became brotherly countries, and it was very inappropriate to spend money to buy other people's heads. However, since the succession of the Divine Sect, the bounty order has been reactivated, but the price is twice as cheap, ten horses of silk and one head.

Although it is not publicly posted, it is a rule for everyone to be on the border military road. As long as you take the head of the Khitan people and go to the local regiment to train the yamen, you will be given some cash immediately. According to the conversion criteria for the amount of stones, ten horses of silk are ten stones of grain, ten copper coins, and ten taels of silver!

As the saying goes, the bold starve the cowardly, and Wang Hao's thief boldly allowed the pirate group to reap rich rewards. As soon as it was dark, the pirate group, which was gathering the scattered horses on the side of the road and was busy cutting off their heads, suddenly found sporadic Liao troops running from the post road.

For an armed pirate group of several hundred people, the scattered Liao soldiers are not a problem at all, and after a crossbow arrow is knocked down, it is clear who is the Khitan soldier and then beheaded, which is all copper coins that will run.

Catching up with those who were not injured or disabled and were not Khitans, they were tied up and brought back to the ship, and Wang Hao also learned from Hong Tao and realized the benefits of slavery. Most of these Liao soldiers are young people, and it is easy and cheap to get back to their hometowns to be boat slaves.

As a result, more and more were captured, and soon there were not only scattered Liao troops, but dozens or hundreds of routed soldiers running away without their lives. Wang Hao is worthy of being a well-informed master on Ganliang Road, and immediately judged the situation clearly. A big victory for the new army! The reason why these Liao troops are panicking must be that there is a new army chasing after them.

Then let's not be busy gathering horses and cutting off people's heads, and line up the box carts in the middle of the road, under his personal command, the pirate regiment has turned into a reserve of the new army, and the fight is quite orderly. When encountering a large group of enemy troops, they will shoot with crossbow arrows, and when they encounter a small group of enemy troops, they will get on their horses and rush to kill, striving to catch more alive.

The poor elite of the Liao State, even the leather room army, the palace branch army and the tribal army, all fell into Pingyang and were bullied by dogs. I couldn't see who was in front of me when I saw it, and when I saw the square carriage, my legs and stomach trembled, and when I heard the sound of the bowstring, I simply didn't even have the courage to escape. Half of them were shot, and most of them were captured by pirate gangs, and Le's Wang Hao's molars were blown cold by the wind.

Miao Kui didn't know that these desperate maritime merchants were still following the team, thinking that they would all run back to the harbor as soon as the battle started, so he didn't chase after him. But he didn't withdraw his troops immediately, but walked with a gas lamp and collected crossbow arrows on the side of the road.

He is really a person who lives a life, he doesn't want to pay any price, if Wang Hao sees it, he will immediately pounce on him and play with his life! To you who live, and to mine all that is dead!

After two days and one night of running, the Western Route Army finally returned to Xijin Mansion before dawn, bringing back more than 600 truckloads of ammunition supplies and an heir to the throne.

But when the number of people was counted, Hong Tao kicked Miao Kui's buttocks, and more than 200 new troops were killed in battle, and more than 500 were injured. Just rushed back and killed again, these casualties basically appeared in the cavalry field battle, and the number of casualties in the box car formation was not more than a hundred.

"Wang Hao still followed ashore? This thing that wants money and doesn't want to die, quickly send someone back to inform him how far and how far to run, I really don't want to go back empty-handed and wait on the sea boat, this official will definitely let him return with a full load within a month! ”

When he heard that Wang Hao took the sailors to go ashore to pick up the cheap, Miao Kui was kicked in the leg again. The entire Nanjing Road is in chaos, and it is not to seek death if you dare to go ashore.

It's okay if he dies, who will deliver supplies to Jeju Island in the future, who will facilitate the evacuation of the children's group, and who will help the Wen family build a shipyard in Zhangzhou?

Nanjing Dao is really chaotic, not to mention that the Liao Imperial Court can't figure out how many Song troops came for a while, and even Hong Tao himself can't figure out the trend of the battle.

The Shanchuan Inspectorate was useless at this time, and could only rely on the scout horse to keep searching around for information. But the news was too chaotic, today Gu'an was besieged, and tomorrow the Song army was defeated. The news from each batch of scouts is different, and some of them are contradictory.

Moreover, the casualty rate was very high, and after a few days of probing, Hong Tao simply stopped letting the New Army soldiers and special forces continue to venture out of the city. They can fight as much as they like, anyway, don't get close to Xijin Mansion, come and kill one by one!

It is said that the Liao army is gathering quickly, but it has been a full decade since the Xijin Mansion was captured, and Hong Tao saw the Liao army in formation appear in the field of vision for the first time. They came from the west, numbering at least twenty thousand, and carrying a big black beetle with a Xiao character on it.

"It's not going to be another old acquaintance, it's going to make me feel guilty!" When I saw Xiao Ziqi Hongtao, I couldn't help but think of Xiao Wuna.

In all fairness, this privy envoy of the Liao State is a good person, and he is also quite insightful to be willing to run for the country. I deceived others once, and if I beat it again, it would be a bit unreasonable and unforgiving.

In fact, he is also thinking that the Khitan people only have two surnames, Xiao and Yelu, as long as they are Khitan generals, the probability of Xiao being written on the banner accounts for 50%. Besides, Xiao Wuna is a privy envoy of the Southern Yuan, a civil official, and his office is in Beijing, how could he come to Nanjing with the army if he has nothing to do?

But that's all it takes, it's really Xiao Wuna. He didn't come voluntarily, but was forced to do nothing. It was his idea to make a deal privately with the founding marquis of the Northern Song Dynasty, but the pig iron was exchanged, but the founding marquis's army also came, which made him speechless in front of the emperor and ministers.

Thanks to saving the emperor's grandson once, and helping the emperor quell the rebellion, he was finally not dragged down and cut down by the court, but the privy envoy of the Southern Yuan had no face.

It's not enough to lose his position, Xiao Wuna has to clear his name. How to wash it? It is to lead the troops to the battle, and if you win, you will be reinstated and your honor will be restored, and if you lose, you will die directly in battle, which can be regarded as saving the family from a disaster.

With a feeling of grief and grievance, with almost all the troops of his tribe, Xiao Wuna embarked on the road of the southern expedition. He was accompanied by the queen's 10,000 Shan army and 10,000 palace troops. This is the most elite army in Nakyo-do, and in addition to retaking the Setsu Mansion, he also has to monitor his every move.

Xiao Wuna's army did not immediately attack Xijin Mansion, but sent people to constantly move around Xijin Mansion. At first, Hong Tao thought that this Liao army wanted to find a place to dig tunnels, and sent people to monitor the movement underground with a listening device day and night.

It wasn't until the other party began to cut down a large number of trees that he realized that tens of thousands of people were just forwards, who came to scan the battlefield situation and find a suitable camping site, and there must be a large army behind.

Hong Tao guessed correctly, a few days later, a larger Liao army came, also fighting the azure beetle, yes, the Liao State also drove the expedition in person, the emperor is not clear, anyway, the posture is out.

Yelu Hongji's physical fitness is obviously stronger than that of Emperor Shenzong, he not only woke up, but also drove the expedition himself!

This time I really can't hold my face, Da Liao has been established for 200 years, and there are often victories and defeats on the border, and I have never been bullied like this. Dozens of important ministers of the royal family and descendants died unexpectedly, tens of thousands of defenders were annihilated, hundreds of thousands of Khitan people were enslaved and slaughtered by foreign races, and a daughter is estimated to have been arrested.

Now it is no longer a question of the gains and losses of one city or one place, but whether the throne can still be secured. If they don't respond strongly, the Khitan nobles will definitely not mind changing to a new, more bloody emperor.

For the sake of his throne and the reputation of the royal family, Yelu Hongji decided to defeat Wang Shu with his own hands to re-establish his prestige, and took advantage of the situation to teach the Song people in the south a profound lesson.

The emperor is here, and all the tribes in the Liao State have to recruit troops to come to King Qin immediately, whether they are willing or not, and the number of people is secondary, and the attitude is very important.

In the next ten days, the surrounding area of Xijin Mansion seemed to have become a big stage for the Liao State to show multi-ethnic integration, and the tribal armies that had never seen it and could not be named appeared one after another from all directions, surrounding Xijin Mansion.

Just like the appointment made in advance, the Liao army waved the banner of the emperor, and the Song army also hung out the emperor's beetle, officially announcing that there was also a great Song emperor here. Regardless of whether the person is there or not, the presence of the beetle means that the royal driver is in person.

Zhao Maid was put on a gold-plated full-body armor by the king, and his daily work was to be surrounded by a group of iron-clad people walking around the city, cordially receiving the soldiers of the new army and the people of the Ya tribe who returned to Shun.

This full-body armor was a gift specially created for Emperor Shenzong in Weiqiao Town, and was transferred to his son by the emperor along with the beetle. The meaning is obvious, dad is optimistic about you, come on, and succeed to the throne when you win!
