Shi Wengong, the head of Zengtou City, is a very background figure, and Lu Junyi, who is the first in Hebei Province, is not only outstanding in martial arts, but also proficient in the art of war, and the things in the imperial court are also very clear. In the Northern Song Dynasty, although artillery already existed, it was also used on the occasional battlefield, but due to the complex casting process of artillery, the price was expensive, and it was easy to blow up, it was rarely used in actual combat, and most of the artillery was only used for signaling or salute. Therefore, Shi Wengong judged that the number of artillery in the Cangzhou salt field was very small, so he insisted on going to the Cangzhou salt field to loot it, which was regarded as a reward for seizing the ship.

Su Ding left, Shi Wengong gathered troops, the second, fourth, and fifth elders of the Zeng family, as well as Yu Sibao, the four of them were deputy generals, and they raised 1,500 light cavalry. The total strength of Zengtou City is only 6,000 people, and 1,500 cavalry is already all the cavalry of Zengtou City.

The cavalry walked quickly, and Shi Wengong led the cavalry to arrive, and the time happened to be noon.

Yu Sibao said: "It's too early now, it's better to pass later." ”

"Otherwise, more than 1,000 of us won't be able to hide, and when they find out that the money has been moved to the secret room, we will be busy in vain." Zeng Lao Er said.

Shi Wengong said: "The boundary by the sea is deserted, and the people who come and go are going to the salt farm, and they can't hide it. Rest for a while and then kill it. ”

Shi Wengong immediately gave an order, and the army hid in the woods by the roadside to rest, and the soldiers were willing to order cold flatbread and the horses to eat some forage. After resting for only an hour, Shi Wengong took the lead and led 1,500 cavalry to sweep over.

In front of it, a huge wooden archway of the Huanghua Salt Works stood alone, and the eight soldiers on duty at the gate had just changed their sentry posts.

"Kill." The cavalry of Zengtou City cheered, and in front of them was a salt field with very few troops, and under the roar of the cavalry, they could only be lambs to the slaughter.

Suddenly, three signal flares rose into the sky at the gate sentry, and three loud bangs exploded in the sky. Immediately after that, the horn in the salt field whined, and the three generals Shi Jin, Chen Da, and Yang Chun led three hundred cavalry to rush out, followed by three hundred infantry, pushing more than a dozen crossbow carts and carrying dozens of tiger squatting cannons. It was none other than Kong Yang who led the team.

The artillery and crossbow arrows of the navy were in the center, just blocking the gate, and Shi Jin led the light cavalry to protect on both flanks.

Shi Wengong immediately ordered the team to stop when he saw it, and said: "If this is the case, just such a few people, even the navy has come ashore." Heaven has the virtue of a good life, which one goes up to persuade him to surrender. ”

The fourth man slapped his horse and shook his gun and rushed to the middle of the formation, shouting: "The person in charge comes out to speak." ”

Shi Jin shook his three-pointed and two-edged spear and rode out, and shouted: "The mountain and wild horsemen dare to come here to make a mistake." ”

Zeng Laosi said: "We are good men in the mountains, we came out today to run to the salt field, and the acquaintances handed over all the gold and silver treasures and horses, and let you live, if not, the army will definitely not stay." ”

Shi Jin sneered: "When my artillery is an ornament, it is not a problem for fifty artillery pieces to destroy five hundred cavalry with only one round of artillery." ”

Zeng Laosi said: "If you can't brag like this, the artillery is just an ornament." ”

"Believe it or not, just ask the sailors on your ships." Shi Jin said.

Zeng Laosi still pretended to be confused and said: "What kind of warship, where is there a warship where we occupy the mountain as the king." ”

"You're the oldest."

"Fourth in line." Zeng Laosi replied.

"Don't think about making us surrender, think about how you can escape." Shi Jin said that the big gun was raised into the sky, and three more signal flares and two kicks hit the sky.

Behind the cavalry of Zengtou City, a group of soldiers was killed, there were very few cavalry, and the scale was only two hundred, but there were a lot of infantry, there were six or seven thousand people, and the weapons were very simple, a single spear, a pole more than two meters long, and a one-foot-long spear, which was specially used to deal with cavalry, and there was no trick, and it would be effective to stab people or horses if they stabbed forward. These infantry also came, still holding iron stakes in their hands, and quickly nailed the iron stakes to the ground, and pulled the barbed wire, and the speed was very fast, almost instantaneously, forming a wire fence, and the infantry stood behind the wire and stretched out their spears. made a semicircular formation and directly circled the cavalry of Zengtou City.

Shi Wengong touched the tip of his nose, what the hell is this thing called, he was surrounded instead of robbing others.

Shi Wengong looked back, the group of cavalry who came was also very good, all of them wore helmets and leather armor, and the first one rode a BMW with dark clouds and snow, holding a golden dragon swallowing halberd in his hand.

It was none other than Chao Gai. Chao Gai and Wu Yong had already calculated, Zengtou City was not easy to provoke, and robbed their cargo ship, they would definitely retaliate, they would not come to the Jeju border, there were too many soldiers, so the target could only be Huanghua Salt Farm. So Chao Gai brought people to come, and he didn't bring many people, so he brought a hundred personal soldiers from Jiao Ting and Luo Yun, as well as two battalion commanders of Shi Bao and Sun An.

In addition to Jiao Ting, Luo Yun, Shi Bao, and Sun An, there was another person next to Chao Gai, who was wearing a bronze mask and carrying a snake spear. This person is none other than Lin Chong, Lin Chong saw Chao Gai coming, thank you very much, the two hit it off at first sight, and they competed on the school field. Lin Chong originally wanted to let Chao Gai point out, after all, Chao Gai was Lin Chong's great benefactor, but Lin Chong found that Chao Gai's skills were very superb, and the two were on par.

Lin Chong heard that someone had come to the salt field to rob, and he had the intention to come forward, but he was worried that his identity as a military commander would be criticized, so he found a bronze mask to wear and wanted to fight for a while.

Chao Gai took the horse and shouted loudly to the opposite side: "It's Shi Wengong who came, Chao Gai has been waiting for a long time, why don't you come and talk about it." ”

Shi Wengong didn't have a clue, and the horse came over, and hugged his fist at Chao Gai: "Chao group practice, don't come to harm." ”

Chao Gai said: "Don't come unharmed, Shi Jiaotou is still in style, this is to come to my salt farm as a guest." ”

Shi Wengong said: "Ming people don't do dark things, you robbed the eight ships of cargo in Zengtou City." ”

"You won the four bloody horses." Chao Gai said.

Shi Wengong said: "Chao Tuanlian won't think that he can stop me Shi Wengong with thousands of strong men who have taken up arms." ”

Chao Gai laughed: "Shi Jiaotou has good eyesight, these thousands of infantry are indeed strong men in the salt field, but they don't have much work since the beginning of winter, and they have been training for more than two months every day, and then look at their weapons, they are all spears, and they will definitely not be able to keep your Shi Jiaotou, but these soldiers you bring are not easy to say." ”

The infantry behind shouted: "Kill a thief and reward two acres of land, two acres of land, two acres of land." ”

Chao Gai was afraid that Shi Wengong would not understand, so he explained: "They are saying that if you kill an enemy soldier, you will be rewarded with two acres of land. Shi Jiaotou, please think about it, the strong men in the salt field are all from poor families, don't talk about the land, some don't even have a grass house, I just promised them, the battle died fifty times, and the enemy soldier was rewarded with two acres of land, you tell me if they have the motivation to kill the enemy. ”

Shi Wengong looked at the strong men in the salt field again, and his eyes lit up one by one, as if the cavalry in front of him were all military merits.

Shi Wengong is old and refined, and said: "When you meet on the battlefield, you can't match such a big formation." ”

Chao Gai said, "Okay, see you on the battlefield." ”

The two retreated, Shi Bao rode an Arab horse, carried a big gun and rushed out first, and said, "Chao Tuanlian, I'll go and make a meritorious contribution first." ”

Chao Gai said: "Be careful, the strength of the five tigers of the Zeng family is not weak. ”

Shi Bao came to the formation and urged the horse to shout, "Which one will come up and die." ”

Yu Sibao ran over with a knife, he was a foot general, and Ma Zhan was not used to it, so he still ran up to fight on foot.

The two exchanged names, fought in one place, and the foot battle against the horse was originally a loss, although Yu Sibao's skills were not weak, but he met Shi Bao, and it was only six or seven rounds, Yu Baosi went straight to Shi Bao's chest with a knife, and Shi Bao's big gun took advantage of the situation and took Yu Baosi
