Start: Datang Wanli a lonely city

Chapter 537 Eight Mile Bridge?
Sure enough, as Hu Biao judged the situation was exactly the same, in the next few days, their actions along the way were extremely smooth.

On February [-]th, around ten o'clock in the morning, the vanguard of the army arrived in Baozhou.

Once here, the vanguard can be found.

Baozhou City was also burnt to a white ground early after the Jin people implemented the tactics of strengthening the walls and clearing the fields, and most of the residents in the city were coerced to Yanjing.

It is precisely because Baozhou City has no value at all.

Therefore, Hu Biao and the others did not enter the city after that, and drove the army all the way to Yanjing City...

At noon on the [-]th, the Baigou River, which was familiar to Hu Biao and others but unfamiliar, had already appeared in front of their eyes.

Thinking of the last mission, they brought hundreds of people from the Xuange Camp across the river, and headed to Pingzhou in the North with the heart of death.

The purpose is to avoid the occurrence of Jingkang's shame, but after risking his life, it still cannot be avoided.

And after five years, when they came here again.

Although the shame of Jingkang happened in the end, they brought the strongest army in the world and prepared to take revenge after they got here.

For a while, after thinking of the above-mentioned past events.

Hu Biao, who is still surviving today, and all the netizens looked at the rushing river, and felt a little bit embarrassed.

While Hu Biao and the others were looking at the water of the Baigou River in front of them, the Yiying army was making preparations to cross the river in an orderly manner.

Even some of the original bridges on the river have been destroyed by the Jin people long ago.

However, under the busy work of many military craftsmen in the army, a total of six pontoon bridges are being erected rapidly.

Relying on the materials prepared in advance, this process is as simple as putting together blocks, and the pontoon bridge will be fully completed by three o'clock in the afternoon.

It was eleven o'clock in the evening, and all the 10 troops of the Northern Expedition crossed the river. The footsteps of the Song army were once again on the land of Yanyun...

On the [-]th, the Northern Expeditionary Army continued to advance.

But Zhanxiang and Fengrui in Yanshan didn't know that the remnants of the Ever Victorious Army and other Jinren's participating troops had evacuated overnight after receiving the report from their subordinates early in the morning. got a clean.

In order to be able to withdraw safely and smoothly overnight, they did not even take away the camp and most of the food, grass and luggage, and left them all.

The large amount of food is enough for so many people in Yanshan to eat for three or four months.

Immediately, the refugees in Yanshan suffered a crisis, and it was completely over at this time.

The crux of the problem is that things can't be left alone, so many soldiers and civilians, and the "White Fox Empress" can't die in vain.

In the ensuing time, the two people, the 'Rolling Curtain National Teacher' and the 'Tianxiang National Teacher', issued their own appeals to the Yanshan refugees and the believers in the surrounding areas:

He fought back and blocked Wanyan Wu's begging retreat, and used his head to pay homage to the spirits of those dead soldiers and civilians.

Don't avenge the 'White Fox Empress', because she didn't die in battle, she just dissociated her human body and returned to the sky.

When such a call spread, there were immediately followers like a cloud.

In Yanshan alone, there are 20 elite soldiers and [-] civilians gathered together. If believers from various states who came here spontaneously are added, the number of people under the command of Zhan Xiang and Feng Rui will exceed [-] by then. Thousands of people.

Even if some of the peasants are not strong in combat effectiveness, relying on such a huge force.

Basically, it blocked all possibility of Wanyan Wu begging to buy, fleeing back to Huanglong Mansion after seeing something bad, or after a big defeat...

******
On the morning of the 21st, the Northern Expeditionary Army was only 150 miles away from Yanjing City. With the current smooth marching speed, they could reach the city within two days.

At this time, the Yingjin people in the city were already shocked three times a day by the approach of the Northern Expeditionary Army.

It was also on this day that Hu Biao and others received a group of unexpected envoys.

To be more precise, there are a total of more than a dozen members of the Zhao family of the Great Song Dynasty, headed by Liu Wenyan, the son-in-law who married Zhao Qiaoyun, the seventh daughter of Song Huizong.

After these people saw Hu Xianggong, they burst into tears immediately.

Crying about how barbaric those Jurchens are, and how much grievance they have endured during the almost one year in the Kingdom of Jin.

At the same time, they also brought a message from Wanyan Wu begging for money:
If Da Song is willing to stop the army here, Da Jin is willing to release all members of the royal family, as well as a group of civil and military officials; and is willing to withdraw from Shanhai Pass and cede all the land in the pass to Da Song.

If not, the day when the army arrived at the city of Yanjing, it would be the day when all the royal family of the Song Zhao family and civil and military officials died.

Faced with such a message, there were also beggings from Liu Wenyan and other royal relatives, asking Hu Xianggong to help save people.

Hu Xianggong, touching the stubble on his chin, said firmly:

Since ancient times, not only the land within Shanhaiguan has been the homeland of the dignified Han family; the black mountains and white waters outside Shanhaiguan, and even going north, as far as the Beihai area where Su Wu used to herd sheep, are also Han land.

That Jurchen savage, how dare he take the homeland of the Han family as a condition for peace.

Immediately, the ears and noses of some accompanying golden men were cut off.

While putting it back, they also asked them to bring a message to beg for the false emperor Wanyan Wu:

The hatred between the Great Song Dynasty and the Kingdom of Jin is difficult to wash away even if there are three rivers and four rivers. Everything about the strike is not to be mentioned, just wash your neck and wait for death.

As for the captured Zhao royal family in the city, there is still the safety of civil and military officials.

Hu Xianggong even assured Liu Wenyan's son-in-law and the others that Dongchang's fans are fully prepared; they will naturally save themselves from danger, so there is no need to worry about it...

On the 22nd, at three o'clock in the afternoon, the Northern Expeditionary Army adjusted its marching direction slightly.

To be more precise, it has changed from the original all the way to the north to the current rapid advance to the northeast.

Such a reason for changing some direction of progress is actually very simple to say:
After witnessing the terrifying siege capabilities of the Song army, Wanyan Wu, who knew that it was impossible for the Song people to stop fighting, had no intention of launching an offensive and defensive battle by taking advantage of the tall city walls of Yanjing City.

Instead, they planned to fight the Song people in a life-and-death battle outside Yanjing City, about forty miles to the east.

At least on such a terrain, they can take advantage of their large number of cavalry.

It's not that in a city with complex terrain, there is no way to play at all.

After the specific location of the decisive battle between the two sides was marked on the sand table by the combat staff, Hu Biao had an inexplicable sense of familiarity in how he saw it and felt it.

In such a situation, until Lang Qing, a local aborigine a thousand years later, suddenly said:
"Good guy! The area between Yanjing and Tongzhou, isn't this place the Bali Bridge? By the way, the Bali Bridge was only built in the Ming Dynasty, and there is still no shadow of it now."

Hearing this, Hu Biao finally came to his senses.

Isn't this the place where Daqing and the Eight Allied Forces fought a battle 700 years later in the original history, and the iron hat king Seng Gelinqin suffered another huge defeat in his life?
"What the hell! It's actually a decisive battle here. I don't know if it's a good omen or a bad omen."

Hu Biao, who had come to his senses, immediately cursed out such a sentence.

But after a while, this guy calmed down and started to discuss with everyone; how they should fight the head-to-head battle in the Eighth Institute.

There is definitely no problem in winning this battle.

The question is, how can we minimize the casualties of our side, and don't let Wanyan Wu beg for this goal, and have a chance to run away.

For these, you really need to plan well.

What Hu Biao and the others didn't know was that just as they were about to usher in the final battle on the Yanjing battlefield, the third army led by Ma Kuo, Lao Hei, Dayu, and soldiers in the northwest battlefield.

They are about to usher in their most critical battle, and they will soon fight against the legendary iron kite...
