Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it has entered May. The weather in the north is getting warmer. A large number of Changsheng troops stationed outside Yanjing City also began to make final preparations before the Northern Expedition.

The reason why I have been delaying staying here in Yanjing City is not as claimed to the outside world, in order to accumulate all kinds of military supplies. With the storage space of Gao Yang against the sky, where else do you need to do anything to store materials on a large scale?

The real reason is that Gao Yang has been paying attention to the things of modern time and space. Since Du Qixi's prompt, Gao Yang has been paying attention to the actions of certain forces that are invisible on the bright side.

He didn't mean to wait for someone else to do it first. He is watching, seeing who has made any moves, and then will take the initiative to nip all danger in the bud.

The French had threatened Gao Yang and his relatives before, but of course Gao Yang did not relent. Now, no matter who the opponent is, Gao Yang will not be soft-hearted! Gao Yang can't do anything to maintain world peace, in his heart, his family and loved ones are far more important than world peace!

It's just that the modern time and space have been very quiet recently, and no one has made any superfluous movements in a calm place. Gao Yang, who couldn't wait, hurriedly arranged everything and came to the target time and space, and began to personally lead the army to the north.

There were many biochemical warriors and Fang Mingjing watching over there in Bianliang City, and if there was anything Gao Yang would be able to go back to deal with soon, he was not worried at all.

There is Zhang Xian leading the army in the Yunnei Prefectures to look at the grassland and Western Xia, and it is also very calm for the time being. Not to mention Dali in the south, he has always been the hardcore younger brother of the Central Plains Dynasty. As for the local separatist forces that have not really followed the inner 6, they are all small characters who are not worth mentioning, and when the Gaoyang army returns victoriously, if they don't know each other again, they will be ruthlessly crushed into powder by the invincible army that has returned victorious!

After everything was temporarily settled, the best time for the Northern Expedition had arrived.

On the fifth day of the fifth month of May, the auspicious day of the zodiac, it is advisable to travel.

It was a good day. The sun was shining in the sky. Cloudless.

Hundreds of thousands of victorious troops gathered under Yanjing City swore to march on this day! Their first goal is Songting Pass!

The striker is Yue Fei, who stayed in Yanjing for a short time. After the army set out, the position of Yanjing was handed over to Wang Guilai.

At this time, it can definitely be regarded as a high-powered Yue Fei, who has no opinion on himself as a striker. On the contrary, he was very satisfied that he was able to lead the troops into battle. He originally thought that he would continue to be the Yanjing guard in charge of logistics.

Those who can be the strikers are all elite troops, at least the proportion of veterans in the army is quite high. Yue Fei had 12,000 foot soldiers and nearly 3,000 light cavalry. In addition, there were thousands of auxiliaries and a much larger number of civilians.

Completely different from the armies of previous dynasties, the people of Gaoyang did not need to bring their own food. Gao Yang paid all the expenses of everyone. Not only does it include food and accommodation, but it also gives money. If you are unfortunately killed, you will also be compensated according to the standard of death in battle. Take your pick of the best fertile land in the north!

This is a huge motivation for everyone. Gone are the old days of officials holding chains to arrest people, but on the contrary, many people have taken the initiative to ask to serve as servants.

There are enough supplies, sufficient personnel, high morale, and the weather in the north is getting warmer at the moment. It was a good time for the Northern Expedition of the Southern Army. The time and place are favorable, and the winning army is all occupied!

Outside Yanjing City, the sound of horses' hooves roared like thunder. Hundreds of personal guards and cavalry surrounded the Great Song Yan King, wearing gorgeous battle armor and silk cloaks, and marched slowly.

Behind Gao Yang, countless red flags were flying, and endless iron cavalry soldiers followed him. The Changsheng Army Brigade finally drove out of Yanjing City and began a large-scale Northern Expedition!

The reason why Gao Yang wears so much in this weather is purely for the sake of looking good. At the moment, the roads are full of local people who come to see off or watch the excitement. In order to maintain their own lofty image. In addition, Gao Yang likes this feeling of being admired very much, and he directly goes into battle with his whole body draped.

In the army behind Gao Yang, every sergeant had a smile on his face. Gaoyang's invincible prestige, the great prestige of the invincible army. And the mountains and seas of all kinds of supplies gave these soldiers great confidence in victory!

Everyone firmly believed that they would be able to defeat the already weakened Jurchens, and set up an immortal feat of opening up the territory and destroying the enemy country and destroying their people!

The eyes of countless people are only following the figure of Gao Yang who is walking ahead. His slender body stood straight on his horse, and the silk cloak that rose with the wind rattled and hunted. It looks so majestic and majestic!

It is this figure that has brutally beaten the invincible Jurchens who swept the world before to the point of almost destroying the country and the clan at this moment! This figure also rescued countless people who were ruthlessly ravaged under the iron hooves of the Jurchens. He is the savior of all!

The army moved forward, and the Yanjing City behind it became farther and farther away until it was completely out of sight. After getting away from the sight of the people who saw him off, Gao Yang hurriedly took off the armor on his body, and after such a period of effort, Gao Yang's clothes were already soaked with sweat. took out a fan and fanned the wind hard, and at this moment, Gao Yang no longer had the heroic image he had before.

"What are you looking at? Still not about to take it off? You're not hot. Gao Yang, who was dripping with sweat beads on his sideburns, hurriedly shouted to the guards around him. They are all their own people, and they don't need to care about any image.

Warframes and the like are generally only worn when engaging or preparing to engage in battle. Who would have nothing to do on weekdays, running around with dozens of pounds of steel? In the summer, metal absorbs heat and can heat people to death. It's even more exaggerated in winter, metal conducts heat and can freeze people to death!

Who wears heavy armor on the march? Especially cavalry. Wearing heavy armor for a long march must not exhaust the war horse?

In normal times, armor and other things are placed on carts, and auxiliaries and civilians are responsible for guarding, cleaning, and maintaining. The regular soldiers only wore their armor when they needed it. This is also the reason why when a large army goes into battle, it is always necessary to bring more auxiliaries and civilians than the regular soldiers.

You can't let the regular soldiers do those chores, right? Washing clothes, cooking, setting up tents, repairing camps, cutting down trees, digging trenches, repairing horses, pushing carts to transport grain, repairing and maintaining armor and weapons, and so on, all kinds of miscellaneous work need to be done.

If all these things are done by regular soldiers, then how can there be a war? The regular soldiers were already tired and half dead before they went to the battlefield, and their morale was already very low, what kind of battle were they fighting?

Gao Yang brought more people than the regular soldiers this time. There are too many people, and at this moment, except for Yue Fei's department, which has been out three days ago, most of the other troops are still in Yanjing City.

It will take at least several days for the whole army to be dispatched alone! This is also why large-scale operations in the era of cold weapons often need to be calculated in years.

In fact, the real battle was only a short period of time, but the early force projection was too long!

If it weren't for the wide avenue built by Gaoyang, and if it weren't for the storage space that Gaoyang could use to transport a huge amount of logistics materials. Then this army, which is mainly infantry and numbering hundreds of thousands, will take at least a few months even if it reaches the bottom of Yanjing City! Not to mention the massive consumption they have along the way.

In the era of cold weapons, the march of the army has always been like being sacked by bandits. How many well-disciplined armies like the Yue family army can there be in the entire history? Most of them are good at harassing the people. These hundreds of thousands of people drove over, and the entire land of Hebei was going to jump with chickens and dogs.

Fortunately, Gao Yang has always been very strict with military discipline, and when he was in Yanjing City, the iron-faced and ruthless Yue Fei was also appointed as a military judge. Anyone who dares to violate military discipline will be court-martialed.

If you take a beating for petty theft, you will be fined some money and compensation. Those who plundered the people were not only severely beaten, but also kicked out of the army. As for those who dare to kill people and break the law and rape silver women, they can only go by cutting off their heads.

Compared with Gao Yang, Yue Fei, who has a resolute personality, pays more attention to military discipline. He is able to do true justice and ruthlessness. It doesn't matter who it is, and it doesn't matter who comes to intercede. As long as you dare to violate military discipline, you will be severely punished!

As a result, military discipline has been greatly improved, and at the same time, the morale and combat effectiveness of the military have also been enhanced. When a soldier has a sense of honor, his combat effectiveness is certainly much stronger than when he is the same as the bandits.

Gao Yang has always considered the Wehrmacht during World War I and World War II to be an extremely powerful army. It's not just that they're well-trained and well-equipped. Their strict military discipline also played an extremely important role in combat effectiveness!

It doesn't matter if you don't create, you can pick up good learning.

The army marched forward, and countless horsemen ran back and forth to convey all kinds of information. It's still far from fighting the Jin army, so the horsemen aren't busy right now. If it's before the battle, the eyes of the people who come and go are full of horses!

In the age of cold weapons, the spread of information was very slow. Especially in the midst of operations on the scale of hundreds of thousands of people. It is really a very difficult thing to smoothly convey the combat intent of the commander.

Fortunately, Gao Yang is different from ordinary people, he has black technology that is like an artifact for this era. Gao Yang directly equipped the walkie-talkie to the camp and the walkie-talkie!

Gao Yang left behind a large number of accessories, as well as biochemical warriors who are proficient in maintenance. But by the time he left, all the electronic devices would be used up one day. After all, it is not possible to imitate such an extremely advanced thing in this era. The only thing Gao Yang can do is to eliminate as many threats as possible while he is still there, and expand the strength of the country.

"Lord Wang, the place where the camp is scheduled to be set up in front has been prepared. There are already hundreds of sentry scouts scattered out to cover them. The camp has been encamped. As soon as the army arrives, they can go down to camp at any time! A horseman with a flag behind him came to Gao Yang's side and loudly reported the situation ahead. (To be continued......)
