After hearing the bad news one after another, Chechen Khan has been in a coma several times, coughing up blood, and now the main force of the army Shandong Henan Road camp has approached Yanjing, and a large number of Wei troops have gathered on the south side of the Lugou Bridge, and the two armies have confronted each other across the river, and the Wei army has built pontoon bridges in many places upstream and downstream, and everyone understands that the time of confrontation across the river will not be too long, and a large-scale battle will begin.

"The only way to do this is to fight a decisive battle with the Wei people in Yongding Hebei." Wan Yande looks older, but his face is still very moist, his eyebrows are white, and his skills are still vigorous.

Lugou Bridge was built in the year of Xuanzong of the Great Wei Dynasty, and later Xuanzong died and the bridge was temporarily suspended due to the high cost, and after many years of intermittent construction, it was completed in the year of Renzong.

Since then, there is a bridge on the Yongding River to communicate the north and the south, on the bank of this big river, I don't know how many times there has been a change of dynasty, the strength of the town, everyone understands, this time is also related to the life and death of the whole Donghu clan, compared to the change of dynasties to be more bloody and cruel.

"Do you know that this bridge was originally called Guangli Bridge, which means that it leads to the north and south of the canal, benefiting all sides. The current situation is contrary to the people who built the bridge. Chechen Khan rode on his horse, his tone was indifferent, and his eyes kept looking at Qiaonan.

Chechen Khan has been sweating profusely, and now is the beginning of summer, which is the strongest time for the Han people, and it is also the weakest opportunity for Hu Qi. The Northern Expedition army reached one million, and the strength of the government army surprised the proud Donghu people, and even the nobles who despised the Han people the most now had to admit that the Han army from the south was stronger, more sophisticated, more solid, more logistical, more solid armor, and sharper weapons.

What's even more troublesome is that the million Wei army has at least 100,000 cavalry, and it is estimated that there are 120,000 formed cavalry, infantry army, and each army has at least one battalion of light cavalry, which is used as a sentry cavalry garrison, and can even carry out small-scale cavalry battles, so that Hu cavalry can not easily harass and reconnoitre.

The infantry of a few armies can gather more than a thousand light cavalry, and Hu can only resist or contain them if they have a considerable number or even more, not to mention those heavy armored cavalry, although they are not many in number, but they are all riding terrifying high war horses, both men and horses are wearing iron armor, and the impact of more than a thousand horsemen is like a landslide and the ground is cracking...... Donghu also has palace tent heavy cavalry, but the war horse is much lower in comparison, and the tactical tactics are far inferior, the heavy cavalry of the government army can advance like a wall, when the person is easy to open, Donghu heavy cavalry, the equal number of people is not an opponent at all, not to mention the number of government military armor and iron cavalry, not under Donghu.

There are also a large number of iron cavalry, people wearing cuirasses, wearing hoods, horses wearing soft leather armor, attacking in arrays, Donghu cavalry can not be its frontal at all, under such a terrible impact, even Donghu's heavy cavalry is not an opponent, several major battles, the palace tent heavy cavalry in the frontal confrontation are all fiasco, it is because the palace tent heavy cavalry is not an opponent, but prompted Wanyan De, Yelushu, Wanyan Zongshu and other Yan to find that something is wrong, quickly retreated, so as to preserve the strength, but now, behind him is Yanjing, Yuguan has been lost, Unless tens of thousands of old and weak people and all their baggage are abandoned, and they flee into the grassland on light horses, there is no way out for the Donghu people.

No one knew what Chechen Khan meant, but the weakened Great Khan continued: "Originally, I wanted to run the north well, accumulate strength, and compete with the south of Wei by the descendants of Wanyan Zongshu, this bridge I plan to rename it Guangli, so that the Han people in the north know what I mean, Donghu and the Han people in the north get along well, we can respect Confucianism, rebuild the Confucian Temple, as long as they recognize us to enter the Central Plains, it is not impossible to turn Hu into Han, as long as we preserve our simple style, wear Hu clothes, Hu riding and shooting, In the future, when the north is consolidated, it will be easy to unify the south with the north, and it will be difficult to unify the north with the south, and we will still have the opportunity to ......"

A gust of wind blew, and Chechen Khan coughed for a while, but did not continue.

Now there is no point in saying anything, the main force of the 200,000 Donghu army is here, in fact, this Donghu army is not as strong as a few years ago, and after the battle with the Northern Expedition Forbidden Army, the Donghu people also suffered heavy losses, they put forty or fifty exhausted men, untrained savages, and thirteen or fourteen-year-old boys in the army, which made up 200,000 people, fortunately, after entering the north of the Great Wei, they got a large number of military supplies, in armor and weapons, it was slightly stronger than back then, but the overall combat power must have declined.

There are also more than 100,000 servant troops, which are the surrendered Jingying forbidden army and a large number of local Xiang troops, under the coercion and coercion, they also feel that Great Wei has no chance, so many forbidden army and Xiang army generals surrendered.

These 100,000 or so people were placed on the riverside, obviously the cannon fodder of the first wave of sacrifices, and now the military spirit is obviously unstable, and there are fluctuations everywhere, from the perspective of an experienced commander, Chechen Khan knows that these surrendered army arrays cannot be maintained, and once a war occurs, it will be difficult to support, and it will not be reliable at all.

A large number of Donghu cavalry, divided into five divisions, had been mobilized before the battle, and every Donghu person knew the importance of this battle. If you win, you can still survive in Weidi, and you have a glimmer of life, and if you lose, you will directly wait for the extinction of the clan.

Thinking of the large number of government troops in the area of Yuguan and Songta, knowing the news of the defeat of Donghu here, they will definitely cross the Liao River to kill the Donghu lair, and countless clansmen will be chased and killed by the wolf-like Wei army, and not many people will survive.

Knowing such a result, there is no need to mobilize more.

Will the mourning soldiers win?

Chechen Khan looked across the river...... The black government army is all wearing iron armor, and such luxurious equipment can't even be done by the Wei forbidden army, the difference is too far.

The forest-like long tower could not be seen at a glance, and there were a large number of armored iron horses, as majestic as a mountain, pressing on the heart of Chechen Khan.

Each red banner represents an army, and each taller and larger flag represents a single banner.

The army of 300,000 or 400,000 people spread along the river boundary for tens of miles, and the center of gravity was at the southern end of the Lugou Bridge, where the heavy troops of both sides were deployed.

Countless soldiers wearing bright helmets built bridges in the turbulent river, moving quickly, and dozens of pontoon bridges had already been built in the river without much effort.

Such an army is still in a terrible silence, the array is tight, there are no twists and turns, there is no abnormal movement, silently looking at the side of the Donghu people, the more such an army, the more terrible it feels.

Previously, in the hearts of the Donghu people, in the heart of Chechen Khan, he also looked down on the Wei people and the Han people, but now the Han people have risen up and equipped such a strong army with millions of people, and then the Donghu people suddenly woke up, what is the strongest ethnic group, the greatest civilization, and the longest inheritance?

This nation, inherited for more than a thousand years, occupies the most fertile and fertile land on this continent, does it rely on wide robes and oil, poetry and books?

Otherwise, their ancestors also fought bravely with swords and bows, and in the bones of this nation, they were also resolute, strong, iron-blooded, and even somewhat brutal.

Only such an ethnic group can stand on such a land and become the leader of all ethnic groups.

It's ridiculous that he was too arrogant before, and finally there is a crisis of extinction......

However, Chechen Khan was still a little puzzled, why did the Wei army choose to fight the main force of Donghu here at Lugou Bridge?

In this battle, it is said that the Donghu army chose to fight the government army by the Yongding River, but it is better to say that the government army has been creating such conditions to prompt or tempt the Donghu army to come here to fight.

The river is wide and flowing rapidly, and the skill of the government sappers in building the pontoon bridge is impressive, and the pontoon bridge is stretching to the north bank at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Many Nayan, Wanhu have already mobilized a lot of archers to the shore, ready to shoot the other party when the government sappers approach.

Even if the government army could carry a small boat into the river, or shoot at the Donghu archers on the opposite bank, the losses of its sappers would certainly be not small. Then the main force of the government army crossed the river, although the Donghu people could not attack halfway, but the cavalry was placed in the array in advance, and when a small half of the government army came, they would attack with cavalry...... One can imagine what the outcome of such a scene would be.

No matter how strong the government army is, the Donghu cavalry is not weak!

Chechen Khan has some incomprehension, some anger, and more of an innate pride and self-confidence!

In the past few decades, Donghu has grown step by step from a weak tribe to a small tribe, and it is not for nothing! They are stronger, more resilient, and more courageous than the Beiyu. Their riding skills are not inferior to those of the Northern Prisoners, their archery skills are not inferior to those of the Northern Prisoners, their armor is not inferior to that of the Great Wei, and their methods of battle are not inferior to those of the Great Wei.

They are born warriors, proficient in riding and archery is only the foundation, the cruel growth environment tempered by the incomparably strong will, incomparably tenacious character, the determination and will to change the way of life, than those who have been addicted to Lamaism, hope for the next life do not know how strong it is.

The Beilu were also excellent warriors hundreds of years ago, and they were also extremely powerful, but when they failed, they gradually sank, and now they are not even qualified to work for the Donghu people.

The Donghu people have come to this day step by step, from small tribes to countries with thousands of miles of territory outside the Guan, a hundred years ago they prostrate at the feet of the Beilu and the Great Wei Emperor, slaves on both sides, to this day they have overridden the two big tribes, and almost completed the great cause of mixing Yuan Yiyu.

The head of this tribe, the Great Khan of All, of course, has his own pride and pride, as well as a strong self-confidence.

No matter how strong the government army on the opposite side is, under the current situation, it is absolutely impossible to win the battle, and this judgment will not be wrong in the life of Chechen Khan.

"Great Khan." Wanyan Zongshu not far away was already in a state of confusion, he tried to block the Northern Expedition army in Yangzhou, Xuzhou and other places, but with the strength under his command, he couldn't even block it. A large number of government troops set up an array, long like a forest, from the official road, the trail, the river embankment array, under the military flag, is an incomparably upright elite division, Qin Dongyang's command is even more impeccable, no matter whether Yan Zongshu wants to use a surprise attack, cut off the grain road, or the method of flanking is a failure, and he didn't even have the opportunity to set up a battle, after being extremely shocked, he was extremely frustrated, and even anger was gone.

At this time, this battle was not Wanyan Zongshu's willingness, and even many Donghu generals felt that there was no chance of winning, but the current form of the battlefield was extremely beneficial to Donghu, Wanyan Zongshu did not feel fortunate or felt that there was a chance to win, he just felt that it was a conspiracy of the Wei people.

How could a calm general like Qin Dongyang make such a low-level mistake?

"Great Khan." Wanyan Zongshu's expression was gloomy, and he whispered: "I see that there are not many Wei cavalry on the other side, and it is very likely that the main force of the cavalry is detouring north, trying to flank me from behind the army." ”

"That's useless." Chechen Khan shook his head and said: "Before the army joined forces, the main force had not been engaged, and it was useless to flank the division. ”

"Hmm." Wanyan Zongshu nodded, although he still felt inappropriate in his heart, but he couldn't say it anymore in front of the sweat like a candle in the wind.

In the current situation, the government army still has more than 300,000 troops into the east of the river and into the upper reaches of the Yellow River, and the line along the Great Wall of Yunzhou restricts the space for the Donghu people to move westward, and it will even pinch out the possibility of joining forces with the northern captives.

Henan, the southwest of Hebei has been lost, Guanzhong has been lost, and now they only have the corner of Yanjing in Hebei.

Yuguan has been lost, Liaoxi is not guaranteed, Yingzhou is not guaranteed, and the Wei army can advance all the way to Liaodong.

This battle was not fought, abandoning tens of thousands of old and weak women and children, the army fled into the grassland without food and logistics support, and faced the pursuit of 100,000 elite cavalry behind him. The Beiyu are poor and weak, there is no accumulation at all, even if they rob it, they can't grab much things, tens of thousands of people can still make the Beiyu departments supply cattle and sheep, or supplement by shooting and hunting, more than 100,000 or 200,000 people, at most a few days of food in a hurry, just from Yanjing to enter the grassland, it takes at least more than 20 days from the grassland to Liaodong, or even more than a month, so long without supplies and carrying a large amount of food, even if there is no government army to pursue, how many of these 200,000 soldiers can survive?

Maybe the noble generals can survive, but the people are dead, and the brave and warlike soldiers are dead, what is the point of leaving them?

Wanyan Zongshu At this moment, he suddenly understood Li Guorui and the others, who were wearing red robes and rushing towards the long trench, maybe when the last moment came, he would make the same choice.

Just thinking about it, in just a few years, from a big victory to such an embarrassing and desperate situation, it is simply the most absurd nightmare......
