When the battles and fighting in the north are in full swing,

Zheng Tong, a very old captain, was also riding a horse and leading a team to walk on the ground from Hebei to Pinglu Road.

He was once the elite troops of the Northern Expedition Army, Shenwu Forewar, who was completely destroyed, and was also one of the few main forces in the Southeast Army. Because he was brave and brave, he was a member of the most powerful jumping camp in the army for a long time.

Of course, they had to fight. When the war was at its peak, they even had to fight three, four, five, and six times a day and night, and sometimes for several days and ten days without rest. This was already adapted. When they heard the shrill sound of trumpets and the rapid sound of war drums urging them to enter the battlefield, they seemed to hear the bell ringing entering the cafeteria and picking up chopsticks to eat.

In that kind of hand-to-hand battle with the enemy, the enemy's cold blade kept making crisp sounds in their ears, and a bloody flash shone in front of their eyes. A cold arrow that flew from somewhere seemed to have eyes. The mouth and wings quickly split the sky, roaring happily, running, and then suddenly drilled into the cracks of their armor.

How calmly they treated this death that was approaching only a matter of measure! They pulled out the arrow without caring, looked at the name of the enemy general engraved on the arrowroot with contempt, and threw it on the ground casually, as if throwing a rotten straw, and their hearts didn't beat much.

Sometimes the situation of the war is unfavorable and they are trapped in the enemy's siege. They rely on courage, courage and combat experience to find weak links of the enemy to break out. Naturally, breaking out is not often successful. If it fails, they have to accept death. Death is one of the natural consequences of war. As long as they fight and get a price, death will be without regrets.

Therefore, they would never write any suicide note on the eve of the decisive battle and say goodbye to their parents, wife and children. This farewell book that seems tragic in words was done by others. The real soldiers did not do this, and they did not think of it at all.

This is a portrayal of the war life and war psychology that a group of real soldiers, including Zhao Liangsi, once familiar and accustomed to.

Then, overnight, the situation was completely defeated and collapsed. Many familiar friendly forces and neighbors collapsed or disappeared between their elbows and armpits. The vanguards and soldiers who were fighting against the enemy were also abandoned in the icy and snowy Luodu City;

Due to lack of food and clothing, people died constantly. He was frozen and lost consciousness one night. After waking up, he became a prisoner of the northern captives and experienced a short and terrible prison time.

It was not until the model new army, which had a prominent surprise, entered the imperial city, exchanged them out of the hands of the Northern Seizures at the corresponding reciprocity, and was able to be freed from this nightmare;

However, among the companions captured with him, many of them had lost their lives or became disabled due to the lack of treatment and the torture and abuse of the Northern Barbarians, and their loss of exchange value could only be abandoned;

He was a little lucky and only frozen a pair of ears and three toes, but he could barely serve in the army, and became a vanguard of the left army of the Imperial Camp, and started another period of his career in the army;

But for him, it was the greatest blessing to survive the tragic collapse and defeat; so he had no plans to return or defect to his old family, and began to seek a long-term settlement in the newly established Huai Town.

So he relied on his past experience in the army, and had a dozen wounds in his hand, and he had torn up a lot of trauma with one hand, and gradually he had a white soldier and fire. At this point, even if he had no hope of passing the exam and going to the next level with the military camp, he was fully qualified to retire. With at least 180 acres of military land, he would enjoy a more relaxed and leisurely career in the county seat, such as the inspector, or the garrison commander.

But he prefers to stay in the army, be able to listen to the slogans and swearing every day, and can always smell the smell of sweat and war; instead of having a lot of leisurely life in the rear, waiting for his body to become a little bit old and deserted.

Therefore, he finally chose to transfer to the supplementary battalion of the Jeju Army Envoy, and served as a coach with the rank of lieutenant, and began his military training career temporarily away from the battlefield. Now he is following him in a row, carrying all kinds of military uniforms and luggage. These are also new recruits from the three prefectures of Jibei;

Because of the need for a large-scale expansion of the army, in addition to the previous militarized management and regular training, they only received three months of basic training in the coordinated tactics of spear, guns and artillery. Although it was a bit difficult to fight the enemy in formation battles, the resistance forces used to defend the base and suppress the Pinglu area were basically competent.

For Zheng Tong, there were many places where he had moved around the world in his life, but he was the first time he had seen such a large plain area.

It is too flat here. There is nothing in the endless wilderness that can block the view except the horizon where heaven and earth intersect. People say that it is a dead horse running to the mountain, but there is no chance to see the mountain here. In the flat wilderness, even if you ride a horse day and night for several days and nights, you can't finish it.

Along the way, there were dark brown fields suitable for cultivation, so dense and crowded that they could not even be counted; from time to time, there were various depressions and large and small bodians, and large and small areas of forest and trees were almost invisible, and there were only clusters of fruit trees and street trees surrounding the villages and towns, as well as low and thorny wild shrubs on meadow hills;

Being able to suddenly see a low forest or a low-wet swamp reed bush is enough to cheer them up and energetic for a while. Because this also means that the source of wildlife and fresh fish that can be hunted can be used to adjust the taste of dry food, canned food and insensitive.

During the long and monotonous repeated process, he would occasionally see some tiny protrusions and black spots in the skyline, but they were just cities and towns scattered on the plains. Therefore, sometimes when he stopped to rest, he would suddenly have a whim about such a vast sky, but he did not know how many households could be placed and how wide and dense population could be raised.

They walked and walked around the moonset and sunrise, and they could easily temporarily forget the concepts of time and geographically, until the most common yellow tide soil (light meadow soil) on the plain was gradually replaced by the darker sand and ginger black soil (blue-black soil) mixed with more and more wind and sand soil from the rivers; the river depressions, the saline-alkali soil around the lake table, and the colorful earth colors formed by the colorful earth.

"Huailai Town has arrived..."

“There is Wuding River ahead.”

In addition to the Huailai Town, which has become a temporary grain station and a camp, as a prominent feature of the garrison under the control of the Huai Army, in addition to the heads of some people hanging at the intersection like grape bunches, there are also some people kneeling on the ground with shackles and hair disguised, all of whom were dealt with on-site for various crimes.

For example, some people with obvious crimes were simply executed on the spot, and after a batch of simple public verdicts, they were hung up in public; those with slightly less crimes would have to bear the consequences of having a different degree of punishment and shackles.

Some of them even had the consequences of the soldiers who had stripped off their military uniforms and violating the military discipline on the battlefield. He also pointed out as an example of the new soldiers who brought them to the scene as a warning.

Outside Huailai Town, there are many local people and refugees, quarantine camps and management areas. On the fields that have just been harvested and turned over, there are women and children carrying small baskets and baskets, carefully searching for something in the soil.

"This is Wuding River,"

I looked at a river in front of me that didn't look wide and sighed, this is the original source of the time travelers who have been going on since the founding of the mountain "The Story of Qin" that has been liked to take it out and brush up the style of "poor bones by the Wuding River, especially those in the spring boudoir."

"That's just that..."

However, this river is also the sad place of Anton Daluo family and the turning point of its prosperity and decline. Tens of thousands of Liaodong soldiers, including the most outstanding generals and family children of the Luo family, were trapped by Su Yuanjing to lure the enemy into deep. The teacher was exhausted and surrounded by enemies and could not retreat. In the end, he was destroyed and almost never escaped. The Anton Daluo family, who was once famous and had a revival atmosphere, almost fell into a period of decline and low point.

Now that I am led the army to come back here again, for the old Luofan clans who served in the army, there is no meaning of fate and reincarnation or divine will, but it is particularly full of fighting spirit and a passion for avenging shame and revenge.

However, another river branch that happens to converge here is also a very famous existence to me, because its name is Gaoliang River. Its upper reaches come from the west mountain and passes directly through Youzhou City from north to south. It is also an important source of water for Youzhou City and one of the local river branch canals.

That is, the Northern Song Dynasty Emperor Taizong Zhao Laoer, who was eager for quick success or was very happy to achieve success in another time and space, was lost in the victory of the Northern Han Dynasty, and fought the battle of Gaolianghe, which was first won and then lost. The emperor who was in charge of the imperial army in his personal battles left behind the joke that most of the troops fighting alone escaped; it also ruined the victory accumulated since the founding of the country and the elite soldiers and generals who had been trained in a hundred battles, and was stripped of the wise and magical skin of military strategies, and even made the entire Song Dynasty turn into a key historical turning point in the strategic defensive passively;

Of course, for those brainless fans, this is another powerful proof of peace that I am so strong that I have no friends that I love peace. I pay attention to the rest of the people and do not want to rob the people and spend some money in exchange for peace. In other words, since I cannot defeat your barbarians in Liao from beginning to end, it is definitely not a problem that the Song Dynasty itself is not established properly and the system is flawed.

Just like when the Song Dynasty was founded, it could not defeat the Liao Kingdom. Because the Liao Kingdom was the most powerful nomadic regime in East Asia's history, the remnants of the corrupt and depraved Liao Kingdom, which were corrupt and degraded, could not defeat it. That was the result of our Song Dynasty's unwillingness to pick up cheap things and being deceived and deceited by the enemy, it was definitely not because the Emperor Song Dynasty was not powerful from beginning to end.

But the enemies that were praised were too powerful, and they had reached the point where the most awesome foreign tribes from ancient times have gathered together to bully our emperor and Song tribute annual monies. Therefore, in this case, we and Song dynasties were able to survive for three hundred years by paying annual monies and being passively beaten. It is too awesome and are already awesome enough to beat most historical dynasties.

On the other side of the river, it is contrary to the normal situation where all I have seen in the past few days are burnt fields and village ruins, and vague camps and people patrolling along the river bank began to appear. Is the other party planning to take the initiative to fight here and resist the enemy on the river bank? This is really good news.

After all, this kind of thing and tactic is not unfamiliar to my army; and although my army has not lacked the experience of attacking large cities and fighting in them after two Northern Expeditions and Luodu offensives and defenses; but since it can eliminate the enemy's live power as much as possible in field battles, it is better than the enemy's main force hiding in the city and hiding in the city for a long time to consume.

Before my formation arrived, the opposite side relied on the built river camp and a sufficient number of archers and crossbows to Zhang Xian, the head of the chariot chief who arrived at the Liying camp in advance, and there were round and crossfires across the river surface of less than 100 steps. It seemed that the tribe had some disadvantages and casualties;
