Lugou Bridge.

It is named because it crosses the Lugou River (i.e., Yongding River).

Li Jinglong rode his horse onto the bridge, and when he saw the unusually quiet Lugou Bridge, he couldn't help but laugh and said: "In the past, when General Xu Da attacked the capital of Yuan, the Yuan army set up a defense line here, but it cost General Xu Da a lot of effort."

"This Lugou Bridge is the gateway to Beiping City, but the Yan army retreats into the city and does not defend the Lugou Bridge, which shows that the Yan army is weak and incompetent, and they will lose this battle!"

As soon as Li Jinglong's voice fell, the generals of the Southern Army flattered one after another.

After all, this is the truth, Lugou Bridge is the last gateway to Beiping City, but the Yan army directly abandoned the defense, which is obviously a manifestation of weakness and incompetence.

In this way, the imperial army can drive straight into the city and reach directly outside the city of Beiping!

As long as Beiping City is conquered, then this battle will be declared over!

Under the flattery and flattery of the generals, Li Jinglong was in a good mood.

At this moment, the officers and men of the Southern Army could almost hear the sound of the wind stepping on the barren grass, and looking around, it seemed that the river had also fled because of the sight of the Southern Army, and it was the time when morale was like a rainbow.

Li Jinglong did not hesitate, and immediately ordered the whole army to cross the river and go straight to Beiping City.

He, the commander of the three armies, although he has never fought a decent battle, but Li Jinglong, the military book, has really read a lot.

For Li Jinglong, the key to victory is undoubtedly time!

As the so-called "soldiers are fast", the weather is getting colder and colder as it enters October.

The soldiers of the Southern Army are thinly dressed, and almost all of them are from the south, if they can't quickly take Beiping, when the snow falls heavily or Zhu Di, the king of Yan, comes back to help, then the chances of our army will be greatly reduced.

Therefore, Li Jinglong did not hesitate to lead the southern army to cross the Lugou Bridge and directly killed Beiping City.

Half a day later, the main force of the Southern Army arrived at Zhengcunba, and Li Jinglong held a military meeting on it.

In the tent of the commander of the Chinese army, Li Jinglong sat on the main seat, Guo Ying, Ping'an, Chen Hui and other generals of the Southern Army were here, and even the vanguard general Qu Neng also rushed over after receiving the news.

As soon as Qu Neng walked into the tent, he quickly sensed a lot of malicious eyes, but he didn't care at all.

The credit of the pioneer general, he Qu Neng is going to be decided, and maybe he can fight for a hereditary title for the Qu family.

As long as the army conquers Beiping City next, and then lays down the defense line to capture Zhu Di, the king of Yan, then this matter will be done!

"General, according to the last general's investigation, the traitor Zhu Di led the main force of the Yan army to Daning, and at this moment, there are only some old, weak, sick and disabled people left in Beiping City!"

"As the so-called soldiers are fast, the last general asked the general to immediately order troops to conquer Beiping City!"

Qu Neng opened his mouth in high spirits, bringing good news to Li Jinglong.

Li Jinglong nodded when he heard this, quite satisfied with the performance of Qu Neng's father and son.

"In that case, there's nothing to talk about."

"Ben Shuai intends to divide his troops into three routes, surround Beiping Jiumen all the way, attack Tongzhou all the way, and garrison Zhengcunba on the last road to prevent the Yan army from coming back!"

"In this way, the three armies are fighting each other, and they can help each other, and the eastern and western armies will storm Beiping City, striving to break through Beiping in the shortest possible time and capture a dry Yan rebellion!"

When the generals of the Southern Army heard about his arrangement, they didn't think much about it.

After all, there are 500,000 troops in the imperial court, and even if the troops are divided into three routes, they can also form a crushing trend against the Yan army, but the Yan army will be weakened by this, and the day of breaking the city is just around the corner!

And Tongzhou has always been the main road of transportation in Jingdong, and it is an important place for transportation and storage, and the capture of Tongzhou will also cut off the grain and grass of the Yan army and the back road!

So, now the question is, who will command these two armies.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the commander-in-chief of the East and West armies is definitely the first to break through Beiping City, and he can compete for that success.

Therefore, the generals of the Southern Army were very moved, and they all spoke out to ask for war.

However, veterans such as Guo Ying and Yu Tongyuan were indifferent, and just hoped to end the war as soon as possible and then go back to retire.

When Li Jinglong saw that all the generals were invited to fight, he couldn't help but feel a little difficult for a while.

He himself must be sitting in Zhengcunba and remotely commanding the offensive on the eastern and western fronts.

Then the armies of the east and west must choose a good general to command.

After thinking for a while, Li Jinglong made up his mind.

"General Qu Neng, in addition to the 50,000 vanguard army, this commander will transfer another 200,000 elites to you, and you will command the siege of Beiping Jiumen and launch a fierce attack on it!"

Hearing this, Qu Neng nodded ecstatically and immediately knelt down to receive the order.

It seems that his previous performance has won the approval of the great general Li Jinglong, and once again seized the position of commander of the Eastern Route army.

Then Li Jinglong looked at Ping'an again, and said sincerely: "General Ping'an, this commander will transfer you 50,000 troops, and Tongzhou will be handed over to the general, be sure to cut off the Yan army's grain and grass arteries, and trap it in Beiping City!"

Ping An nodded when he heard this, his face was not sad or happy.

"Rest assured, the general will conquer Tongzhou!"

Seeing this, the rest of the generals could only sigh secretly.

They must not be able to fight for peace, but he is the righteous son of Emperor Taizu Gao, just this special identity is enough to make people look down on him.

As for why Qu Neng was able to succeed, it was not because he could fight, he led the vanguard army to fight all the way over and the Yan army was defeated like a mountain, maybe he Qu Neng could really directly attack Beiping City in one go!

Now that the identity of the main general has been confirmed, the generals can only retreat and ask to follow Qu Neng to attack Beiping City.

Even if you can't eat meat, you have to let us drink some soup, otherwise everyone will follow you Li Jinglong for what?

Li Jinglong also understood this truth, and simply allocated all the generals to Qu Neng with a wave of his hand.

Anyway, Zhengcunba is only more than 20 miles away from Beiping City, and they can help each other at any time, and he left 200,000 troops, just in case Zhu Di, the king of Yan, came back in time.

"I also hope that all the generals will work together to conquer Beiping City as soon as possible!"

Li Jinglong got up and shouted in high spirits, and the generals took the order and left.

By the time Qu Neng led an army of 200,000 to arrive outside Beiping, the total strength had reached 250,000.

This scene naturally couldn't avoid the eyes of the Yan army, Zhu Gaochi once again led the civil and military forces to the top of the city, only to see that the enemy troops outside the city were densely packed and countless, and he couldn't help but gasp.

"The main force of the enemy army has arrived!"

"It looks like there are no less than 300,000 people!"

Dao Yan and Jin Zhong glanced at each other, and they both saw the solemn look in each other's eyes.

Chen Heng and Gu Cheng also looked solemn, and their heartstrings tightened together.

"This day will come sooner or later!"

Monk Daoyan said in a deep voice: "More than a month has passed since the prince went to Daning!"

"If it goes well, the prince should be on his way back to Beiping with his army at this moment!"

"So next, we must swear to defend Beiping and wait for the prince to lead the army back to help!"

"As long as we wait for that day, then our Yan army will be able to fight back against the enemy army inside and outside, and the battle will be decided!"

Zhu Gaochi and the four of them nodded one after another, and they had a little confidence in their hearts.

"Order the officers and men of the three armies, the armor will not leave the body, the knife will not leave the hand, and prepare for battle!"

"There is a strict curfew in the city, and no one is allowed to go out at will!"

"If you violate it, you will be killed!"
