The iron cavalry rolled, and the army heading north was endless, day and night. At this moment, another team of people passed by, with more than 5,000 people, all of them were cavalry, each with distinctive armor and shiny swords and guns. Judging from the equipment, it was still three points better than an ordinary team.

Although this unit is huge, it is still a vanguard unit, because not long after they have passed, there are large groups of people mixed with infantry and cavalry. It is late at night, and the army is always driving. When it is dawn, the plain people who have been squatting at home for a night open the door and look out with courage. They only see that the marching team that has started since the night has not finished. They look forward and see that there are teams of infantrymen, not armed and have no weapons in their hands. It seems strange. Behind them are ox carts, and they don’t know what they are carrying.

Following the crowd were cavalry teams, both of whom were not armed and cloth robe, and the horses under their crotch were tall and strong, far taller than the Central Plains war horses. They walked slowly and leisurely, as if they were not going to fight, but going outings to enjoy the spring. Behind them, there were also ox carts, full of loads, covered with coarse kudzu and straw curtains, and I didn't know what they were.

After all, these ordinary people just felt a little strange, but they didn't know that these two teams of master soldiers were Duan Mingyu's heavy armored iron cavalry and Tang Dao team that were famous all over the world. Under the suppression of the old aristocratic forces not represented by Kong Wei, Zhang Jun and others, these two troops suffered vicissitudes and suffered all the pressure and plots. Now it is finally time to see the light of day again, show their power and regain their former glory. The Iron Lin Army of the Khitan Kingdom is a heavy cavalry that is as famous as the Western Xia Iron Harrier in history and the Iron Futu of the Jin Kingdom. Since Duan Mingyu was determined to fight the northern expedition, how could he not bring this powerful weapon that was better than them?

The people of Yan have lived for many years under the control of the central government of the Tang Dynasty. If ordinary people give them a stable life and let their wives live in a peaceful manner, they will support whom they support. What are the debates of Yiqiu and national concepts, and they cannot serve as food, and they cannot bring any benefits to them. They do not care whether the emperor is Li or Yelu. Perhaps some scholars will say something about Yueming in their hometown when they chant the wind and play the moon, but they will have to sacrifice their lives and shed their blood. There are also many people who are not satisfied with them now. They are politically enlightened and the status of the Han people is gradually improving. They have the imperial examinations, and they are the same as officials in the court. The law also prohibits all kinds of bad habits that discriminate against the Han people. What else do they have to be satisfied with?

In history, Duan Mingyu advanced the northern expedition of the Khitan Liao Kingdom seventy or eighty years ago. At that time, the Khitan victory was great. Emperor Taizong of Song Dynasty Zhao Kuangyi defeated Gaolianghe. Empress Dowager Xiao Chuo immediately paid rewards according to his merits. He punished him if he had any mistakes. He was clear in rewards and punishments, and his methods were sharp. Then he took advantage of the victory to pursue him and personally took charge of Youzhou, Nanjing, and urged the money and food. The front enemy handed over to Yelu Xiuge, the Song Dynasty, and even made a big move south.

The wise ministers were loyal and united. Unfortunately, Zhao Kuangyi was in a bad position and suffered great defeat. From then on, he never furthered the north. The Han army and horses were unable to recover the sixteen prefectures of Youyun. Until a pair of civil servants at Huai, they rose up in the short term, drove away the minority groups. The Han children regained the world and were in great power. The four barbarians came to pay tribute. This made the land of Yan, which had been trapped for hundreds of years, return to the hands of the Han people. This man was called Zhu Yuanzhang.

At this moment, as for the Khitan Kingdom, after several years of governance and bloody purge, when the Khitan sent troops to help Liang's victory in Zhenzhou, defeated Wei Zhaodu, and the royal prestige suddenly rose, Yelu Abaoji could not think of what else would happen to the inside, and what would happen? Haven't there been enough people killed in recent years? Who has the courage to take risks? So he put all his energy in front, Yanjing Youzhou, Liang's Zhenzhou and Cangzhou.

Yelu Deguang in front also cheered up his spirits and went all out. A real man made achievements and made achievements in history. How can he not seize this opportunity today? Unexpectedly, Liang Guo made many tricks. First, the general Kang Huaizhen tried to assassinate Xu Wen in a pretentious way, but was killed. Later, Zhu Wen was so angry that the three armies were in chaos and retreated in panic. Zhu Wen's sons also don't like me, I don't like you. They don't know the news that Zhu Wen is dead. They are stumbled against each other while his father is away, but Li was already ready to fight in Hedong.

Cunxu finally fired a thunderous attack and attacked Zhenzhou before the army attacking Weizhou in the south had not yet retreated and rushed back to his nest. Li Cunxiao, the first general of the late Tang Dynasty, took only one day to capture Zhenzhou City. When the Liang army, who was fighting for Zhenzhou in southern warriors, the banner of the Tang Dynasty had already been planted on the top of the city. The three armies were shocked. The troops, which had already had no leader, were even more chaotic. King Li Cunxu of Jin personally led his army out of the city and defeated the Liang army. Seeing that the situation was no longer possible, the Khitan prince Yelu Abaoji returned to Yan land with his 30,000 Khitan cavalry intact.

When Duan Mingyu was heading north with great fanfare, he did not expect that the three armies who were ready for a bad war were shocked to hear that Zhu Wen was dead. Looking at the banner of Li Cunxu, the King of Jin of the Tang Dynasty, had to enter Zhenzhou City in disappointment.

The news came back to Luoyang. Emperor Li Ye was overjoyed and ordered the three armies to rest for one month. In the summer of July, the northern expedition of the Khitan and recover the sixteen prefectures of Youyun. However, during this period, the court was not idle. Li Ye allocated five million taels of silver from his inner treasury. This silver was originally used to build palaces, but now Li Ye used it to repair mortars and crossbows. The craftsmen of the Ordnance Department of the Ministry of War immediately started to move, and two shifts of troops were used to supervise the army.

The fire is completed as soon as possible, so that the Northern Expedition will have more chances of winning. The instructions received by these craftsmen must be repaired within 20 days, to create one thousand mortars, one hundred thousand crossbows, and two million crossbow arrows. The remaining last ten thousand troops in Luoyang City are all used to repair mortars and crossbows in the Ministry of War. You won’t? It doesn’t matter.
