The Tatar ancestors lived between the white mountains and black waters, limited to the harsh living environment, they were brave and industrious, and dared to fight hard for food and land.

In the process of rising in the early stage, it absorbed the blood of Da Yan and gradually grew into an institutionalized and regularized military group, with extremely strong combat power.

As soon as the iron horse came out, it was invincible, and Da Yan, a seemingly powerful giant, could only be left to his fish and flesh and play with it.

However, when the Tatars accumulated enough savings to destroy the Great Yan Imperial Court once they entered the pass, the combat power of the military group in their headquarters began to decline rapidly.

On the one hand, the high-level aristocracy is corrupted, and they sink in the drunken gold of the Central Plains.

On the other hand, the Tatar court granted privileges to the true Tartars of the Honko, such as exemption from the law, self-enclosure of land, hardcore crops, and so on.

In particular, the hardcore crops that every True Tartar can receive, so that they can enjoy the imperial court offerings without having to work hard.

Under such favorable treatment, the warriors of the Tatar headquarters are depraved from body to spirit, and they can live a nourishing life anyway, so why fight and die again.

If you really want to go into battle to fight, it is good for the real Tartar soldiers to supervise the battle in the back, and there are Han troops in front of them to work for them.

During the period when Zhou Bai was in charge of the country, the Great Yan was revived in the south, and the Tatars still retained a certain combat power, and the blood and courage of the older generation of soldiers were not lost.

When the Great Yan stopped south of the Yangtze River, he did not dare to cross north, and this last bit of combat power was exhausted.

You Zhu Jun only need to keep half of the Southern Dynasty and be a Gaozong, they are very welcome.

Then it was not until the fourth year of Guangwu that Zhou Bai went out of the "Northern Expedition" and destroyed the Tatar division in several battles, which gave the few sober people in Tatar a chance to speak out again.

The whole army is on alert, forgetting the war will be dangerous, the heart of the southern and northern expeditions is not dead, and Guangwu is the name of the year, which shows its ambition......

After a warning was advocated, coupled with the defeat of the Yangtze River, it really made the Tatar court discuss it for a while.

Even the old Tartar Emperor once had the idea of going south, if he didn't deal with the hidden dangers in the south, would future generations be able to sit on the throne?

What's more, it is easier to attack the south in the north than to attack the north in the south.

The people of this tribe can't be easily consumed, so recruit Han people as pawns, and don't be afraid of sacrificing more.

In the fourth year of Guangwu, the Tartar Emperor ordered the expansion of the army, and a total of 300,000 new Han soldiers were obtained.

After several military exercises, the Green Battalion Army performed well, defeated the Han Banner Army many times, and was relied on as a standing army by the Tatar court.

At one time, the army of the Northern Dynasties was very strong, and there was a lot of discussion about the southern expedition inside, and the Tatar nobles followed behind anyway, and there was no danger in taking the credit.

If you win, you will be rewarded by the officials, and if you lose, there will be no losses, and the responsibility for the defeat will be borne by the Han officers.

However, after the recruitment of cheap soldiers available for drive, the Tartar Queen realized that she still wanted to build ships?

If you want to cross the river again this time, there is no traitor of the sailor, and there is no party to lead the way, but it is difficult to climb to the sky.

Dividing the river and ruling the two dynasties is not an empty word.

At this time, the northern dynasty could only scold two sentences, and Emperor Yan was insidious and cunning.

The soldiers of the headquarters and the Han flag soldiers spent a lot of money, and with the addition of 300,000 green battalions, military spending rose sharply.

Shipbuilding takes a long time, and it also needs the support of the national treasury.

Fortunately, in the fifth year of Guangwu and the sixth year of Guangwu, the Southern Dynasty did not make any moves, so why don't you forget about the Southern Expedition......

After all, Nanyan "does not want to forge ahead" and has no intention of going north.

Soon, in order not to affect the welfare of the nation, the shipbuilding plan was reduced to empty talk on paper, and the 300,000 green battalion soldiers could not afford to pay their salaries, and they were quickly reduced to waste.

In the seventh year of Guangwu, under the personal supervision of Zhou Bai, the number of various troop transport warships of the naval division reached thousands, and the one-time transportation of troops could reach 50,000 people.

In the eight years of Guangwu, the long-lasting horse administration shined, and the number of newly purchased and cultivated war horses that met the requirements increased to 40,000, and the cavalry corps reached 30,000 horsemen.

In the ninth year of Guangwu, under the long-term stable recuperation, the national strength of Dayan reached its peak, and the overall luck showed red.

Zhou Bai did not choose the whole army to deploy martial arts, but still chose the elite soldier policy, and the 30,000 Yulin army was blessed by the national fortune, and half of the soldiers cultivated martial arts to the acquired realm.

In the tenth year of his reign, that is, in May of the tenth year of Guangwu, he ordered the Northern Expedition of the whole country.

After ten years of patience, it is inevitable that one day it will be fully successful, drive out the Tartars, and restore the whole territory of Great Yan.

On 5 May, Lou Jinpeng led an army of 50,000 men to successfully cross the river, and the Tatar coastal defense line had already been discovered and was crushed in one blow.

On 7 May, the forward rushed forward and captured all the ferries on the north bank, and Zhou Bai led 150,000 Chinese troops to cross the river safely.

In mid-May, the Tatar Yangtze River garrison general seemed to have finally reacted, gathering 50,000 cavalry and 100,000 green battalions to defend the important towns of Jianghuai.

It's just that unlike the ten years of grinding knives and savings, the ten years that Tatar spent in the Northland were just empty time.

The corruption of the nobles and the soldiers has made this once powerful military group full of holes and no combat power to speak of.

A series of fortified cities basically could not be held for three days, but Emperor Guangwu once again reiterated Fengtian to seek Hu Xuan.

"Anyone who has been coerced into Han Hugou but has surrendered will be amnestied and not asked. If they are in captivity, if they are deformed, they are willing to return to agriculture and animal husbandry, and they will also be amnesty. He has coerced the public to call him a go, a little resistant to Yan Xing, and there is no forgiveness for killing; For spies, there is no mercy for killing; Therefore, it violates military law, and there is no forgiveness for killing. ”

If you surrender now, you will not be treated as a traitor, if you surrender too late, not only will you be killed, but you will also have to leave a name in "green history", which will be stinking for 10,000 years, and future generations will never be able to raise their heads.

At the end of May, after several days of strong attack, the core city of Yicheng, where the Tatars were heavily garrisoned, was destroyed.

They wanted to defend, but their combat effectiveness and will to fight were too poor, and the general of the Yipin garrison was killed, and more than 10,000 Han Tatar soldiers who resisted in the city were slaughtered.

In addition, the 20,000 garrison True Tartar soldiers who surrendered were incorporated into the vanguard by Zhou Bai and ordered them to open the way.

Throughout June, the Northern Expeditionary Army did not encounter too many obstacles, and the road to the north was unimpeded.

Along the way, the people welcomed the king's division, and the garrison soldiers surrendered to the wind......

The cavalry corps on which the Tatars relied on their country was actually only seen in Yicheng.

By 9 July, Jianghuai had been fully restored, and the troops of the Great Yan Northern Expeditionary Army entered Haiyou Province.

Lou Jinpeng's front army was unstoppable, and he took eleven cities in seven days, and won the Haiyou Fortress in a battle.

The Tatar court was still debating how many troops to send and who was responsible for the emptiness of the treasury, but unexpectedly, the crisis of national destruction was already in sight.

If Haewoo is lost, there will be no place for protection in the Gyeonggi region, and the national capital will be in danger.

In view of the unprecedented crisis, the Tatars broke out to the last of their strengths, and the soldiers and money were finally gathered.

On July 15, 100,000 iron horsemen from the north gathered and handed over to the once famous old Wang Shengge to go south.

However, before the monks arrived and walked out of Gyeonggi, the news that the provincial capital of Haiyou had been captured by Emperor Guangwu of the Great Yan had already arrived.

According to the front-line military report, Emperor Guangwu's 30,000 feather forests are all martial arts masters, and any one of them can act as a first-class guard in the Ouchi.

Everyone is like a tiger, does not avoid arrows, is brave and fearless, and can even climb the city wall with his bare hands.

Even though General Haiyou was loyal to the imperial court and drove the defenders to defend with all their might, it could not turn the tide of the battle.

"Gao Hu, the general of the Yan Dragoon, is invincible in the world with a silver spear, and blasts through the city gate with a detached spear?"

"Qu Zhi, the unknown commander of the Praetorian Guard, personally captured and killed the desperate Haiyou general, and the guards witnessed him fighting a hundred true Tartar warriors alone?"

Lao Wang Shengge looked at the information sent back one after another, and only thought that the front-line generals and sentry spies were crazy.

When he was young, he was revered as the first Baturu of Tatar, and he was strong in force, and when he fought against the Great Yan, he had many actions to capture the flag, which made the Dayan border army who dared to fight fearful.

Even so, the monk also thinks that he is a mortal in the flesh, wearing armor, and a pair of more than ten is an extraordinary performance.

You tell me now, climbing the city wall with his bare hands, guns, with one enemy and one hundred, he really can't accept it, all martial saints are in the world?

However, this is a military report that has been confirmed many times, and it cannot be faked.

Suddenly, the monk remembered the reason why the Tatars had withdrawn from the south ten years earlier.

The Han people oppose shaving their hair and making it easy to obey, and the whole country riots, and they need to divide troops to suppress it, which is the main reason.

But he still remembered another important reason, tens of thousands of True Tartars died in the south one after another, and the outrageous war report sent back by Erke actually said that it was a Yan army with extraordinary force that defeated them.

At that time, the unbeatable monks who were sitting in Gyeonggi only thought that Erke was looking for a reason, and no matter how strong the army was, it would not go beyond the scope of the Tatar iron cavalry.

Now it seems that Emperor Guangwu has always had such hole cards, and he still endured it for ten years, how terrifying.

The monk only felt inexplicably frightened, no wonder this Great Yan Northern Expedition did not divide his troops into multiple routes like the previous Southern Dynasties.

He has an invincible and strong army, and since all the way, he is upright and magnificent, how can you stop it.

With a keen military sense, the monk ordered the whole army to stop at the right border of the sea, and at the same time played a secret letter to the Tartar emperor.

The letter first asked for reinforcements to be sent, and 100,000 cavalry was not enough.

Then it is recommended that the imperial court move the capital immediately, and it is best to retreat directly to Guanwai, while he can still hold on for a while.

If you can take away a large number of people in Gyeonggi, as well as the wealth plundered in Dayan for more than ten years, you may be able to continue the national glory in the home of Baishan and Heishui.

The former asked for help, but the Tartar Emperor also thought that this was a steady move by the monks, after all, Da Yan was menacing this time, and if he was not careful, he would be in danger of losing the country.

And the discussion of moving the capital in the back directly stimulated the elderly Tartar Emperor, as for it?!

But as the supreme ruler of a dynasty, when he doesn't want to pretend to be asleep, he really can't sleep.

Natural and man-made disasters, corruption among officials, resentment among the people, and emptiness of the treasury......

However, the most important thing is that there is a problem within them, relying on the Central Plains, the military force of the small clan Ling Da clan has collapsed.

As a privileged class, the real Tartar soldiers and the Han flag soldiers are unbearable, and the green battalion soldiers have long been reduced to ruffians in recent years, and they have little combat power.

The monks were able to take away 100,000 "iron horsemen", thanks to the tens of thousands of "poor relatives" who came from outside the gate last year, and also squeezed out all the private soldiers of the princes and nobles, most of whom were slaves, and few were true Tartars.

There are still tens of thousands of troops in the national capital, but except for some pro-army troops who still have combat power, the rest are just embroidered pillows.

After getting the analysis of several Han henchmen, the Tartar Emperor decided to move the capital, and at the same time transferred the green battalion soldiers from various provinces to the front line to obey the use of the monks.

On July 13, the Tatar Emperor ordered the capital to be moved, and the high-quality population and a large amount of wealth began to transfer outside the Guan.

Anyway, the court and the emperor will go slower, and if the monk can win, the capital will become a place to run Longxing.

At this time, Zhou Bai had not yet gone to sea, and Lou Jinpeng led 30,000 elite cavalry to stop in Gyeonggi, and the deterrent power of 100,000 iron cavalry was still there.

At present, the two sides are staying in the stage of tentative and small-scale cavalry battles, and whoever wins more small victories will be able to cover the battlefield and take the lead.

On 18 July, Haiyou was completely recovered, the logistics line was unimpeded, and Zhou Bai led 100,000 main forces to the frontline battlefield.

In the face of the majestic and mighty Yan army, the monk was inexplicably relieved, because he had been warned in advance, and the imperial court was moving the capital.

The main force of 100,000 is also a strong army like the forward elite cavalry, if it were not for the 100,000 cavalry that he forcibly gathered, he would have suffered enough in the past few days of small-scale battles, and there were many defeats and few victories.

"As long as you move to Guanwai, and then accumulate the blood and courage of the people, there will be a chance to return to the Central Plains in the future!"

In the follow-up, no matter how the Yan army invited the battle and provoked, the monk avoided the battle, and he thought that as long as he delayed the time.

It is precisely because of the eyeing of 100,000 iron cavalry that the main force of the Northern Expedition is advancing slowly, and it is always necessary to pay attention to being raided.

It wasn't until the end of July that news came back from outside the gate that the "old nest" had been terminated, and all the important towns in the land of Longxing had been captured by the Yan army.

At present, Li Dingguo, the general of the Great Yan Expedition to the north, has led 50,000 elite Yan troops to the border pass, and the route is completely replicated from the Tatar pass.

According to intelligence, the border pass has been abandoned since the Tatar entry into the pass, and the garrison is very small.

Zhou Bai never said that there was only one road, 50,000 people, which happened to be the number of troops that the Great Yanshui Division could transport at one time.

Since the Northern Expedition, the grain ships of the naval division have not only supplemented the main force of the imperial camp, but also made a detour to supplement Li Dingguo's department.

The thinking limitations of the nomads made them not pay attention to the sailor at all, and they would not have thought that Zhou Bai would send someone to steal the house by sea.

The Tatar court was shocked three times a day, and the monks were even more angry and vomited blood, it only took ten days from the border to the capital, and the foot journey was fast, maybe only five days?

A decisive battle is imperative, and it must be resolved quickly.

If you can defeat the main force of the Great Yan Northern Expedition, or even capture and kill Emperor Guangwu, then there is still hope for timely reinforcements.

But if he is defeated, the Tatars will be gone.

In the face of the main force of the Yan army, which stopped and marched unhurriedly, on August 3, Seng Ge reluctantly chose to lead 100,000 iron cavalry to launch a decisive battle.

It's just that the posture of the Yan army is equivalent to inviting the king into the urn, and the 100,000 iron cavalry did not crush the 30,000 Yulin army wearing heavy armor and standing at the front.

Then he fell into the vast sea of entangled battles, and when he wanted to retreat, he was chased and killed by the 30,000 Yan cavalry tails that had been raised for ten years.

In the end, the whole army collapsed and was defeated.

A month later, Dayan successfully recovered Gyeonggi and the national capital, slaughtered the Tatar royal family, and sacrificed to the temple.

Half a year later, the world arrived, and Dayan regained its heyday, which was called Guangwu Zhongxing at the time.

One day in the eleventh year of Guangwu, Zhou Baifu was so restless that he chose to sit on the dragon chair and take a nap.

Suddenly, the scenery around him continued to regress, and the Jinluan Palace, the national capital, the thirteen provinces of Great Yan, and even the entire world all turned into a dream bubble.

"The conscription war is over, Anbei Guojun, congratulations on your victory."

"As the victor, you can carry the current Great Yan Dynasty's luck and return to the Tianyuan World."
