Time, the first day of February in the second year of Maode, more than seven o'clock in the morning.

That is, according to the plan, the day when the Song army officially set off for the north.

The imperial calendar says: Today, the six white martial arts stars fly to the northwest, and the six white martial arts stars and five elements belong to gold, which is suitable for travel, sacrifice, groundbreaking, and bed...... Northwest of Italy.

Overall, definitely a good day to go.

So today, the army will be marched as soon as it takes the oath.

Location: Just like the last battle in Zhuxian Town, the location of the review of the army before departure, this time's oath-taking ceremony is still placed in the huge open space outside Kaifeng City, in front of the 'Great Song Yimin Monument'.

The difference is that now next to the 'Great Song Yimin Monument' with a white marble structure, there is not only a large cemetery where tens of thousands of Song Dynasty soldiers are buried, but also more people will be buried in the future.

More importantly, a Jingguan built up with the heads of hundreds of thousands of gold people.

After such a long time, it has been completely built.

The white marble monument, the neat and silent cemetery, and the Jingguan that makes people's scalp tingle after a little glance.

All of the above, after being combined.

Immediately filled this place with a solemn, solemn, and solemn atmosphere; It can be said that in the entire Great Song Dynasty, there is no place more suitable for the army to swear an oath than here.

The only problem is that the weather looks a little bad today.

Obviously, it has been more than a month since the beginning of spring, and today there is still a big dark cloud overhead, not to mention, there is still a howling cold wind, which makes the temperature drop to minus three or four degrees.

So much so that when people go out in this kind of weather, their mood is a little depressed and low......

"! This ghost weather~"

After clearly feeling the pain of the cold wind blowing on his face, Hu Biao complained with a voice that only he could hear.

Then, I was poured a mouth of cold, toothache-inducing northwest wind.

It's just that even so, Hu Biao still has no intention of giving up, today's such a swearing-in ceremony, and then another day is an idea to set off.

Special! There is only one month left until the end of the third phase of the mission.

According to the plan they discussed, they needed to march sixty miles a day to reach the foot of Yanjing City within twenty days.

Don't look at the march of sixty miles a day, it doesn't seem like much.

But in the previous history, that is, the elite soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, they were able to meet such a standard.

After all, it is not necessary to rush to the place, but also to ensure the necessary combat effectiveness.

But even if the 60-mile march plan was completed, they would only have ten days left to fight along the way and at the foot of Yanjing City.

When you do the math, you can say that time is quite short.

If you continue to ink, what will be delayed on the road, won't it be the end of the calf?

Therefore, the pledge ceremony must be held again today, and it is time to set off as soon as it is finished.

With such an idea, standing on a temporary high platform, Hu Biao looked down and around.

I saw that under the only northwest wind, the sound of a large number of battle flags hunting, and the occasional neighing of war horses, millions of people were terribly silent in the huge open space in front of them.

Yes, there are currently millions of people standing in an area of the boss under the high platform.

Hu Biao has seen so many people standing together for the first time in his life.

To be more precise, at such an important moment, almost all the people in Kaifeng City came and didn't say anything; Most importantly, there are 250,000 troops assembled at the scene.

In addition to the new army and the volunteer army, there were also miscellaneous troops sent from all over the country to support them, and the mobilized people added up to a total of 100,000 people.

However, among the 250,000, 40,000 of them from the Third Army, as well as 20,000 miscellaneous soldiers and people, will not participate in the Northern Expedition.

And it will be in the case of Ma Kuo as the commander and Lao Hei, Da Yu, and Wu Shu as his deputies, and go to Lin, Fu, and Feng on Shaanxi Road to guard against the Western Xia people.

Therefore, the troops of the real Northern Expedition only had 190,000 people on the scene.

And those miscellaneous soldiers and civilians were used to transport grain and grass, and only 110,000 people were really used to fight.

Compared with the strength of the Jin people, the gap is really a bit big.

Fortunately, the route of this Northern Expedition crossed the Yellow River and went north along Xiangzhou, Zhending, and Daimyofu; First of all, in Xiangzhou, absorb 30,000 Yuejia troops to enter.

The combat effectiveness of the Yue family army is still quite trustworthy.

In addition, after killing Yanjing, if everything goes well, he can still meet with the Yanshan army led by Fengrui, War Elephant, and Ah Li.

They should also have fifty or sixty thousand old-fashioned troops there, but their combat effectiveness is not guaranteed......

******

In the deliberate silence of millions of people, including children, Hu Biao habitually looked at Empress Maode first and asked her to say something.

Seeing Empress Maude, she still shook her head this time and said that she didn't need to.

Hu Biao shook off the angry red cloak behind him, took the iron horn provided by a guard, and walked to the center of the platform, ready to deliver an important speech.

A simple tin horn shouting is, of course, impossible for millions of people on the scene to hear.

But it doesn't matter, at every certain distance in the crowd of people in the audience, there is a loud man with a tin horn, waiting to repeat Hu Biao's words.

It's just that when I was about to speak, I looked at the millions of soldiers and civilians in the audience.

In their eyes staring at them, they were full of dazedness, fear, reluctance, excitement and other extremely complex eyes.

Hu Biao edited and edited a speech from the Hanlin Academy in his hand, and wrote a colorful speech.

After directly crumpling it into a ball, he threw it on the ground, and was blown away by the cold wind, and he didn't plan to read it according to the script.

After taking a deep breath, Hu Biao's unusually short and crude pre-war mobilization sound, and the scolding began to resound:

"Special! The document of the Northern Expedition has already been issued, whether to let go of the Jin people's lip lawsuit, I don't know how many times.

What are those big truths, I really don't want to say any more.

It is not wrong to kill people to pay for their lives and repay debts and money, so the sins of the Jin people in my Great Song Dynasty can't just be counted.

Now I Hu Biao is taking you on the Northern Expedition, not only to snatch back all the ones you lost, but also to snatch back more, and to snatch back the interest.

In a word, this trip to the Northern Expedition is to rob money, food, and women~"

Boy! Under Hu Biao's vulgar words, many Confucians, high-ranking officials, and scholars at the scene couldn't help frowning.

But after falling into the ears of a group of ordinary people and generals, these people were stunned at first.

But then there was a frenzy on his face, and I don't know who took the lead first, and in the thunderous roar, there was only one simple and simple wish:

Kill people to pay for their lives, repay debts, rob money, grab food, rob women~

What's even more amazing is that in such a roar that shook people's scalps, the northwest wind that had been blowing for I don't know how many days had been blowing in a row suddenly stopped.

At the same time, the dark clouds in the sky gradually dispersed.

A golden ray of sunlight that had not been seen for a long time suddenly shrouded in.

It fell on the high platform by incomparably coincidence, and the whole body of Hu Biao above, as well as a group of netizens, and the empress of the Great Song Dynasty was shining to a golden yellow.

For a while, such a miraculous scene made those great Confucians speechless, and at the same time, the soldiers and civilians below became more and more fanatical.

After a long time, when the voice finally calmed down.

Hu Biao roared in his mouth: "Where is the first cavalry division?" ”

Zhu Xianzhen, the former cavalry battalion commander Zhou who guarded Xiaoshang Bridge with AT and Yang Zaixing in the first battle, walked quickly to the stage after hearing this, and replied loudly: "My subordinates are here"

"You are the vanguard of the army, opening roads in the mountains and building bridges in the water~"

While Hu Biao said this, he also threw a command flag in his hand.

After receiving the order flag, the division commander Zhou did not talk nonsense, quickly turned over his horse, and led the entire first cavalry division to drive through the high platform in a neat formation with a company as a unit.

The murderous aura that permeated the whole body was like substance, so that many officials who deliberately rushed from all over the country to watch the ceremony looked so unfamiliar.

In the end, under the gaze of millions of people, the 1st Cavalry Division directly advanced.

After waiting for these 10,000 vanguard cavalry to leave, Hu Biao shouted loudly after picking up a new command flag: "Where is the first infantry division?" ”

Immediately, there was another high-pitched voice, with a full sense of neutrality: "The subordinates are here~"

In the following time, another 10,000 men formed a neat phalanx, kicked neatly and walked across the high platform, and began to march.

In this way, all the troops took over Hu Xianggong's order flag.

One by one, they went to the north and the northwest, two different battlefields.

It should be explained that Hu Biao and his party stood on the high platform and watched everyone set off before they rode war horses and began to follow.

In this process, all the figures who opened the troops, before passing through the high platform, made a standard salute to these soul figures of the Great Song Dynasty.

Hu Biao and the other 16 people also maintained military salutes, and they did not let go until everyone left.

Because looking at those high-spirited faces, they don't know how many people are under the First World War and will never be able to return here alive......
