Chapter 636: Victory in the First Battle

In 936 AD, Shi Jingjiao, the founding emperor of the Later Jin Dynasty, rebelled against the Tang Dynasty and asked the Khitan for help, and the Khitan sent troops to support the establishment of the Later Jin Dynasty.

In the third year of Tianfu (938), Shi Jingjiao ceded the sixteen states of Yanyun to the Khitan according to the requirements of the Khitan, so that the territory of the Liao State expanded along the Great Wall, and several dynasties in the Central Plains were not able to completely recover it in the future.

The sixteen states of Yanyun specifically refer to: Youzhou, Shunzhou, Confucianism, Danzhou, Jizhou, Zhuozhou, Yingzhou, Mozhou, Xinzhou, Fuzhou, Wuzhou, Ulzhou, Yingzhou, Huanzhou, Shuozhou, Yunzhou, which is equivalent to the whole territory of the capital today, the whole territory of Tianjin, and parts of Hebei and Shanxi.

Previously, when Qin Han occupied Hebei East Road and Hebei West Road, he had already fought with the Liao army several times, especially Bazhou and Xiongzhou.

After the alliance between the Yuan Dynasty, the Northern Song Dynasty set up farms in Xiongzhou (now Xiongxian County, Hebei) and Bazhou (now Bazhou, Hebei) on the border, and opened them to trade, exchanging spices, rhino horn, ivory, tea, porcelain, lacquerware, rice, silk fabrics and other items for sheep, horses, camels and other livestock of the Liao State.

In short, these two places were luxury shopping malls for the nobles of the Liao Kingdom, and if it weren't for Qin Han's occupation of the two states and still maintaining trade, I am afraid that the war would have already begun.

The first target of Qin Han's march was Yingzhou, the southernmost part of Yanyun.

The officials guarding the city in the city of Canzhou, but they are the four fierce generals under the Liaoguo Cave Immortal Squire, one is called Aliqi, one is called Biter Weikang, one is called Chu Mingyu, and the other is called Cao Mingji.

Hearing that Qin Han's army was coming, he wrote a table to Shen Lang on the one hand, reported to the neighboring Mozhou to rescue him, and on the other hand, he transferred troops out of the city to meet the enemy, Qin Han is not Song Jiang, and when he heard Qin Han's name, which one dares to be presumptuous.

Chao Gai and Zhao Xin led the troops forward, looking at the soldiers around them and the bows and crossbows behind them, the two were full of hope for this battle, once this battle really recovered Yanyun, as the vanguard of this battle, the two of them will definitely go down in history, compared to these, the position of the prefect is nothing.

Qin Han now occupies so much territory, if he wanted to be an official, he would have arrived a long time ago, and what was he waiting for now, not for the position of this vanguard official.

Not long after, the two armies have been approaching, from a distance to see the Liao soldiers covering the ground, the black hole covers the sky and the sun, are soap carving flags, two bows and crossbows shot at the feet, only to see the opening of the soap flag, in the middle of the holding of a general, riding a horse, bending the ring kick jump.

This time, he will have a white face and red lips, yellow eyes, a length of nine feet, a three-pronged purple and gold crown, two pheasant tails tied to the crown, a collar and a white robe, three phoenixes embroidered on the back of the robe, a serial iron armor, a belt inlaid with treasure lions, a pair of Yungen eagle claw boots, a gold pin to protect the neck, a finch painted iron tire bow, a pot of carved feather arrows, a pear flower point steel spear in the hand, a silver fist horse, and the banner is clearly written: Admiral Aliqi of Da Liao.

Aliqi relied on his own bravery, beat his horse and went out of battle, and shouted: "There is no one in the Song Dynasty, and he actually sent Cao Kou as a general, what about Qin Han?" Quickly let Qin Han come out, you deserve to do it with me! ”

Zhao Xin was furious and shouted: "What kind of identity is King Liang, how can he do it with you, a barbarian, gossip and don't mention it, today we will see life and death, Hugh go, eat me a boring." ”

Before the words fell, Zhao Xin had already urged the war horse to Aliqi, the phoenix wings in his hand were overwhelming, and shaking his hand was twenty or thirty heavy blows, this was the first battle of the Northern Expedition, there could be no loss, as long as he won, his name of Zhao Xin could be passed down through the ages.

Aliqi is not afraid at all, he comes to fight with a gun, he is strong, and he has the true inheritance of the masters of the Liao Kingdom, both strength and skill have reached the peak.

Seeing that Zhao Xin used the phoenix wings to show the "phoenix nodding indiscriminately" in the marksmanship, Aliqi was happy to see the hunt, and he didn't use weapons to bully people, and returned to the "covering the sky and the sun" in the boring method, and a spear turned into tens of millions, blocking the seven points of sunlight in front of Zhao Xin.

After twenty or thirty crisp sounds, Aliqi and Zhaoxin retreated two feet at the same time, and the two of them gave up the advantage of weapons to fight a move, but fought a draw, seeing this, the two no longer played with short hands, the phoenix wings and gilded tricks were smashed, and the pear blossom point steel spear was stabbed forward, but if a move was missed, the dead body would fall to the ground.

The spear in Aliqi's hand is ever-changing, blocking left and right, picking forward and back, Zhao Xin exhausted all means, but failed to break through Aliqi's defense, fought for a hundred rounds, Zhao Xin's strength was very consumed, and he knew that he could not win, so he had to make a false move and retreat to the main formation.

Seeing that Zhao Xin couldn't defeat Aliqi, Sun An shouted, rushed out with an iron sword in his hand, and shouted: "General Liao, I won't take advantage of you, quickly change your war horse and come to fight with me again!" ”

Summoning Xin's divine power, even if Aliqi unloaded his strength with marksmanship, more than 100 rounds passed, and the war horse couldn't stand it, Aliqi didn't shirk when he heard it, the Liao country was full of good horses, and soon he changed a war horse to fight against Sun An.

As soon as he made a move, Aric used all his strength, a gun was like a poisonous dragon probing its claws, the strange python turned over, and Sun An's two swords only flew in the shadow of the tip of the gun, but when he saw the cold light flashing, the murderous aura was soaring, and in the shadow of the dust, the men and horses were mixed together, and the guns and swords were mixed together.

After fighting for more than 100 rounds, I only heard Sun An shout "on", the two swords combined, indomitable, a sword rubbed Aliqi's pear blossom point steel gun and slashed down obliquely, cutting off Aliqi's five fingers, a sword poured down like a thunderbolt, Aliqi couldn't dodge, and was cut off by a sword.

Seeing Sun An kill Aliqi, Chao Gai knew that the opportunity was coming, shouted, the whole army pressed, because of the folding Aliqi, the Liao soldiers out of the city did not have the command of the general, Daliang is indeed Zhao Xin, Wang Huan, Sun An, Chao Gai four people each led a way to rush the soldiers and horses, not long after, the Liao soldiers were completely defeated.

Chao Gai strictly obeyed Qin Han's orders, and after winning for a while, he did not pursue, but set up camp, waiting for the arrival of the Chinese army, and on the other hand, reinforcements also came from Yingzhou City, these two people are the nephews of Yelu Yanxi, the emperor of Liao, one is called Yelu Guozhen, and the other is called Yelu National Treasure, both of whom have the courage of ten thousand people.

It's just that the two of them are not very old, they are arrogant, and they still need some experience to command the army, of course, Yelu Yanxi, who is more mediocre than Zhao Ji, can't think of such things, this is all the idea of Wu Yanguang and others.

The arrival of the Chinese army, the victory in the first battle, naturally to celebrate, Lu Hui spread out the merit book to record the merits, Sun An beheaded Aliqi, Zhao Xin, Chao Gai, Wang Huan also had their own gains, Aliqi's chain iron armor, pear blossom point steel gun, inlaid treasure lion belt, silver boxing horse, and boots, robes, bows, arrows, all gave Sun An.
