On September of the fifteenth year of orthodoxy, Yushan Town.

After the intense preparation of the personnel of various departments in Yushan Town, the food and military equipment required for the 28,000 troops to go out have all been prepared, and they have been transported to Huakou Town in advance for hoarding.

In the early morning of this day, Liu Juntao summoned all the generals of the army with more than 1,000 generals in the lobby of the government office, and prepared to take the oath to go on the expedition, and the six battalions of this time, a total of 28,000 soldiers, were already on standby outside Yushan Town.

At this time, Liu Juntao was standing in the lobby in a military uniform and full of energy, with a hint of ruddy on his resolute face, looking extremely excited.

On this day, Liu Juntao has been waiting for too long!

For Liu Juntao, the men of the Han family should gallop on the battlefield and conquer the Tartars, which is the mission given to Huaxia Erlang by God!

However, Liu Juntao has been leading the army to fight against the heroes and strongmen in various places, as well as Ye Zongliu and Deng Mao's seven bandits, although they have also won a hundred battles and have been promoted to generals because of their merits, but Liu Juntao has always been unwilling in his heart, after all, the conquest of the Tartars is what he really looks forward to.

For Liu Juntao, it is not a great honor to exterminate many thieves and rebels, and the real glory is to lead the Han family's Tiger Ben to seal the wolf Juxu again! Kill Ben Heng Rose again!

And today, Liu Juntao finally has the opportunity to achieve all this!

Zhang Xiaojun, Chen Ziping, Gao Ran, Zhou Zongsheng, and Sun Xu were at the head of the generals, and more than a dozen of the next thousand generals such as Liu Youcai, Liu Youfu, Chang Hongdao, and Meng Fanchen were also standing upright, and the generals stood solemnly and were as heroic as the upright poplar forest.

Yan Hu also stood beside him in military uniform, and the two thousand generals beside him were also in good spirits, and after the army swore to go to the battle, Yan Hu would divide his troops and garrison them in various places.

Liu Juntao looked at the generals in high spirits, and his heart was also happy, so he said loudly: "Soldiers, the 500,000 troops of the imperial court have followed Jinshang to the expedition, and the general has received an order from the military department: immediately go to Beijing to garrison!" I hope that the generals in this battle can join me in defeating the Tatars and defending China! ”

"Fight to kill Hu! Defend Huaxia! ”

"Fight to kill Hu! Defend Huaxia! ”

"Fight to kill Hu! Defend Huaxia! ”

Everyone raised their arms and shouted, and the Ming generals in the room were all raising their arms and shouting, and their blood was boiling.

In the face of the murderous Tartar captivity, the iron-blooded Ming warriors will not retreat, and the fearless Han family sons will not be cowardly!

The roar of the generals also spread outside the government office, and then the people on the streets and alleys of Yushan Town were also infected by the roar of the generals, and they raised their arms and shouted.

And the 28,000 soldiers who were already on standby outside Yushan Town roared in unison.

"Daming Wansheng!"

"Daming Wansheng!"

"Wan Sheng!"

In the afternoon of the same day, except for Yan Hu's headquarters in the rear battalion of the Yushan Town Guards who stayed in various parts of Yushan Town, all the rest of the soldiers were ready to set off.

The autumn breeze is cold, the vegetation is flourishing, and there is a lush scenery between heaven and earth, like countless soldiers wearing green armor.

Outside the city of Yushan Town, I saw 28,000 Ming warriors lined up in the wilderness, and their fiery red armor was like a huge fire burning brightly, as if they were about to burn all the Tartars.

Knowing that the soldiers of the battalions of the Yushan Town Guard were about to go north, the people in Yushan Town spontaneously gathered near the north gate to see off these enthusiastic sons of the Han family. At this time, the entire North Gate area is crowded with people and magnificent.

"The military master is good!"

"Kill the Tartars, kill!"

"The Ming Dynasty will win, and the heavenly soldiers will win!"

The people shouted almost fanatically, at this moment, in the eyes of the people, these soldiers of the Yushan Town Guards were like heavenly soldiers descending to earth, they were so mighty.

At this time, Guo Muying was also in the middle of the send-off crowd, looking at the majestic Ming army array, Guo Muying's heart was suddenly surging, and she was so excited that she could hardly control herself: "This is my son of the Ming Dynasty!" ”

Liu Juntao rode his horse and galloped, accompanied by a team of escorts, and then beat the passionate war drums, and the army marched!

Twenty-eight thousand soldiers marched with firm steps to the sound of passionate war drums, accompanied by the sound of iron armor.

In the wind, the majestic singing of the soldiers of the army came:

"Wearing iron armor and carrying a long knife. The battle with the son is long.

Fight with the enemy, die and live together. Fight with your son, and your heart will not be slack.

Step on the swallow and chase the beard. Fight with the son, and sing fearlessly. ”

Liu Juntao led the whole army of 28,000 soldiers to march at great speed all the way, and all the soldiers marched into the wilderness with neat steps, heroic and fearless.

At this time, the military equipment, money, grain, and materials mobilized by the Ministry of Commerce, the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and the Military Department of Yushan Town had all been deployed in place, and all the warehouses in Huakou Town, large and small, were requisitioned and piled up.

After Liu Juntao led the army to Huakou Town, he ordered the soldiers of each battalion of the army to camp in turn around Huakou Town, and after preparing to rest for a day, they set off north with a large amount of money, food, equipment, and materials.

On this expedition, Liu Juntao deliberately pulled out all the Wuhan Iron and Steel vehicles in the Yushan Town Vehicle Depot in order to carry a large amount of baggage with the army, and also to deal with the Wara Iron Cavalry Army.

In addition to the hundreds of Wuhan Iron and Steel chariots equipped by each battalion, Liu Juntao also carried 800 chariots with the army, and after arriving in Huakou Town, he distributed all the 800 Wuhan Iron and Steel chariots.

In the evening of the same day, Liu Juntao rushed to the garrisons of each battalion to inspect it, only to see that all battalions were full of chariots, if according to the theory of later generations, I am afraid that at this time Liu Juntao's 28,000 soldiers have already achieved "mechanization"!

The six battalions had a total of 28,000 soldiers and men, equipped with Wuhan Iron and Steel chariots, watchpole chariots, war drum chariots, rushing chariots, and so on, and 15 or 600 chariots of various types.

Moreover, the army under Liu Juntao paid off the double-layer armor, a layer of armor, a layer of cotton armor, and the rest of the blades were all finely crafted and very sophisticated.

At this time, in the Ming Dynasty, in terms of army equipment alone, if Liu Juntao claims to be second, I am afraid that no one is qualified to be called first! Including the soldiers and horses of the three battalions of the Beijing Division!

After resting for a day and a night in the town of Slip, the army was marched out early the next morning.

This time, the Yushan Town Praise Painting Department has formulated a detailed marching plan, marking the money and grain supply points, marching routes, camping points, water sources, etc. along the way on the marching map, and the army only needs to follow the guidance of the marching map to the north.

In this way, the army can not only save a lot of time and energy for road exploration and planning, but also arrange the distance in advance, quantify the time, and arrange the marching time reasonably to the greatest extent, so as to arrive in the capital within the time specified by the military department, and at the same time not excessively consume the physical strength and energy of the soldiers of the army!

It can be said that these plans and plans formulated by the Zanhua Department under the guidance of Liu Juntao are far ahead of this era!

You must know that planning the march route in advance, planning the military station in advance, the supply point, etc., have only begun to be popularized in the West in modern times.

At this time, during the orthodox years of the Ming Dynasty, all European countries were still barbaric and melee periods, and everyone fought a war with you and me, and I cut you, without any rules and without any advancement!

Liu Juntao had already seen the march map in detail last night, and was ready to order the army to march according to the plan.

But at this moment, a group of men came out of Huakou Town, many of whom Liu Juntao knew, and these people were all heroes from all over Shandong.

I saw that these heroes were carrying swords and wearing strong uniforms, walking towards the side of the army.

Seeing this, Liu Juntao ordered the soldiers of each battalion to stand by, and he led a team of escorts to meet him.
