I wish you all a happy Lantern Festival, a full moon, and a family member!!

In this era, although Zhao Ta tried his best to create a fast and convenient communication system, but limited to the development of science and technology, he could only choose fast horses and carrier pigeons, he tried his best to set up contact transfer stations in various places, but the world was too big to eliminate every blind spot, especially in the enemy-occupied area, and the information transmission was too slow.

"Damn, if only there was a radio!" Zhao Tan muttered an unclear sentence, now that the situation is unknown, he will not be able to arrange and give away the next battle plan, but in modern times, not to mention the ubiquitous satellite communication system, even the oldest radio station will also get the situation ahead in the first time.

"Your Majesty, it's time to eat!" Wangfu said as he brought lunch. Although it is strange, the people around him seem to have seen it for a long time, and there are always some inexplicable words coming out of this master's mouth, but everyone can also see that the emperor is very anxious, and this anxiety is that he can't know the battle situation of the various departments.

"It's time for lunch, is it already noon?" Zhao Ta looked at the food served and was stunned for a moment and asked.

"Your Majesty, it's the beginning of the hour!" Wangfu said with a wry smile, yesterday the official family felt that time passed slowly, and now it feels too fast.

"Oh, have the sergeants eaten?" Zhao Ta didn't make a move, but asked.

"Your Majesty, all the departments that have landed have already started eating!" Wangfu replied that he knew that as long as he went to the battlefield, the official family would not be an official family, he was the head of an army, and the soldiers would not eat if they did not eat.

"Hmm!" Zhao Ta nodded, even if he was the emperor, there was nothing special about the meal on the battlefield. It's the same with a few cooking cakes with meat, and most of them are just a bowl of hot soup.

"Zhao Xin. Did any of the scouts who sent out come back? Zhao Ta took a bite of the cooking cake and asked, now several chief officials have asked him to send him to the country or stay in the country to 'accompani'. Now Zhao Xin is both the commander of his guards and his chief of staff.

"Official, don't be in a hurry, it will take time for the scouts to go back and forth, and they will return to the camp one after another before dark!" Zhao Xin said with a chuckle.

"How's the morale of the troops now?" Zhao Ta also smiled, the more he cared, the more chaotic he became!

"Your boss is full of anxiety, can the people below be at ease?" Zhao Xin glanced at the official family and said.

"Hehe, it turned out that I messed up the morale of the army!" Zhao Tan patted his head and said self-deprecatingly, but he also realized that his anxiety had affected the people around him.

"Official. Now that we are behind enemy lines, and the battle ahead is unclear, the soldiers will inevitably be uneasy, if you are again..."Zhao Xin said, she understood that the pressure on the official family at the moment was the greatest, this battle had been planned for a long time, more than half of the army was mobilized, and the strength of the whole country was gathered, if the battle was defeated or lost. It will not only affect the whole army, but also the whole country, shaking the foundation of the country, and they are the main battlefield. There can be no mistakes.

"Then I need to show up!" Zhao Ta swallowed the food in his mouth, wiped his mouth and said, his whereabouts have been kept secret. Even after Mingzhou went to sea, only officers above the brigade level knew about it, and tens of thousands of soldiers did not even notice that the emperor had landed here with them. The fear of the unknown and the problems that arose during the unloading caused the soldiers to frustrate. This requires Zhao Ta to regain morale...

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, the commander of the first battalion of the third brigade of the leopard general..."When Zhao Ta appeared among the soldiers in his military uniform without rank and any insignia. The veterans of the army immediately recognized their former boss and hurriedly stood up and saluted, most of them wearing the rank of captain on their collars.

"Wang Ying, yes, I'm already a commander!" Zhao Ta returned the salute and patted him on the shoulder with a smile and said.

"Your Majesty, do you remember your subordinates?" Wang Ying said in surprise.

"Of course, you were born in the forbidden army of the Shenwu Battalion, and later went to Hedong with me, but you were so scared that you threw all the guns away the first time!" Zhao said with a smile.

"Your Majesty," another officer shouted in salute.

"You are Ma Ping, the first time Hedong expanded the army and enlisted in the army, and the horse rode well!"

"Well, Your Majesty hasn't forgotten me yet!" Ma Ping said excitedly.

"Your Majesty, do you remember me?" A big man poked his head over and asked.

"The barbarians, the warriors of the Wild Tribe, the marksmen of the clan!" Zhao Ta thought for a moment and then said his name.

"Hehe, that's right, Your Majesty has a good memory!" Wu Man's eyebrows fluttered and he smiled.

"Second Master!" A teenager also squeezed up and pulled Zhao Ta and shouted.

"Liu Dong, you married a beautiful Khitan daughter-in-law, did your father let you in?" Listening to the title, Zhao Ta knew that Lu Dao was a person from Xiangyi Zhuangzi, but he was a newcomer who was added after entering Datong.

"I didn't let it at first, but I told him that the second master married the Khitan princess, and my father didn't speak!" Liu Dong was exposed by the emperor, and his face was red and said...

"Is this man really the emperor? When did he come? ”

"Of course, I also came by boat, and I must have gotten on the boat in Mingzhou, but we don't know the way!"

"The emperor is my Great Song God of War, he has not tasted defeat, this time we will be able to win!"

"Of course, the emperor will be able to defeat the Jurchens in person, we only had 10,000 people in the northwest back then, but the emperor still led us to defeat the tens of thousands of troops of Aguta and drove them out of Datong, not to mention that we now have tens of thousands of troops and horses!"

Zhao Ta was surrounded by sergeants, he could call out the names of many veterans and say their specialties, which made those recruits very envious, and what a glorious thing it was for the emperor to remember, and he couldn't help complaining about how his parents gave birth to him a few years later and failed to follow His Majesty earlier. The veterans showed off the glory they had created with the emperor in the southern and northern wars, and the recruits listened to their bragging, thinking that they had finally caught up this time, and they had to blow when they went home, but they were people who had seen the emperor.

Zhao Ta did not say words to the soldiers to boost their morale and motivate them to fight bravely, but chatted with them about family life, discussed the weather and food, and listened to the soldiers' complaints. But the frustration in the army was swept away, and his appearance in itself was the best proof that the emperor was by their side, facing the danger in front of them together, and the emperor was not afraid of what else they had to fear, which was equivalent to giving them a reassurance.

In particular, the veterans in each army have special feelings for the emperor, and they are also witnesses to the continuous growth of this team in battle, and they can be said to be blind worship of Zhao Ta. Even if he said that he was going to attack Jin Duning now, these soldiers would follow without saying a word, because the emperor had never let them down, and the good news that came from everywhere made the soldiers even more convinced that their emperor and commander were invincible!

First, Ma Wei sent people back to send back the news, and the 2nd and 4th Marine Brigades took Yuguan lightly, and the Jin troops stationed there only symbolically released two arrows and fled. Several other important passes were even more unbearable, there was almost no fighting, often the guns were not fired, only to see the Song army appear and fled, and now the various departments have controlled the various passes of Yuguan and began to build fortifications.

Immediately afterwards, the wolf sent back the signal corps of each brigade, and the wolf captured and controlled the city of Yingzhou by the first brigade; Subsequently, the 2nd and 3rd Brigades requisitioned horses and vehicles from Yingzhou, followed the pace of the leopard generals, and quickly seized Haiyang, Wangdu, Yifeng, Anxi and other counties belonging to Yingzhou and the counties near Pingzhou City; At present, the fourth, fifth, and sixth brigades and the troops directly under them marched to Pingzhou in a hurry, under the leadership of Liu Biao, the commander.

The messenger from Pingzhou arrived the last to arrive and sent back a letter from Zhao Lian, in which he briefly described the course of the battle, although it was said lightly, but it was also possible to see the urgency of it. After Jiang Wei led the leading battalion to seize the city gate, he started a fierce battle without respite, and I don't know if it was the Jin army or their bad luck.

On the day before the Song army landed, the defenders of Pingzhou were still only 2,000, and a commander of 10,000 men was responsible for the defense of Pingzhou City.

When the Jin army guard guarding Pingzhou, Xianmao Ali, learned that the Song army had captured the south gate, he couldn't believe that the Southern Dynasty army came out of the ground or flew from the sky, but the explosion of firearms made this veteran who had participated in the Western Expedition have to believe that Zhao Er's troops had arrived. According to the report, he learned that the Song army came with only a few hundred people, and judged that a small force of the Song army bypassed the Jin army's Great Wall defense line from the northwest and took advantage of the emptiness in the rear to attack Pingzhou, the purpose of which was only to create chaos and force the front to return to the division for defense.

Annoyed by the audacity of the Song army, Ali immediately gathered the defenders in the city to annihilate them in one fell swoop, but considering that the Song army was small in number, he did not use the new army assembled outside the city, but he did not expect that his conceit would bring disastrous consequences. After occupying the southern city gate, the Song army took control of the city and condescendingly occupied the position, and several attacks by the Jin army in the city were repelled by heavy fire.

At this time, Ali, who had suffered heavy losses, realized that the Song army could not be expelled by relying solely on the forces in the city, and when he mobilized the troops outside the city to prepare to surround the south gate from both sides, the first and second brigades of the leopard general finally arrived, and they did not seek to destroy the enemy, but quickly entered the city and drove the Jin army in the city out of the city. This is good, the offense and defense are transposed, the Jin army has become the besieging party, and Ali was almost angry to death!

Pingzhou is the capital of a country, what is the result of losing the city, Ali is very clear, he hurriedly transferred troops to attack the city, but now the two brigades of the Song army into the city are about 6,000 people, the strength of the two armies is equal, but the guy in his hand is thousands of miles apart, and it is not easy to recapture Pingzhou City...
