After the roaring cavalry crossed the floating bridge, the central army crossed the river. The main force of the central army was more than 30,000 soldiers, and they were also carefully selected elite soldiers trained by Yue Fei and others.

The soldiers on the march divided into two columns and walked along the official road. They were surrounded by many large trucks with rubber tires. The cars were filled with their weapons, armor, shields, tents, sleeping bags, marching bags, and other supplies.

Behind the large trucks dragged by these horses were hundreds of heavy-duty trucks that were regarded as iron beasts by the locals. These trucks were loaded with large containers, filled with countless logistics supplies.

Behind them are auxiliary soldiers composed of tens of thousands of imperial guards, who escorted thousands of trucks to transport the army's logistics supplies. This is definitely the largest logistics force of this era, and no country can have such a level of logistics support.

When Wanyan Zongwang and Wanyan Zonghan were wiped out, tens of thousands of horses were seized. All the war horses were given to iron armored cavalry, while most of the pack horses were used to pull large chariots.

Tens of thousands of troops and a large number of materials are actually very slow to move. After all, the one in a fleet determines the speed of the fleet is not the fastest but the slowest. There are a large number of soldiers walking on foot in this army, and their marching speed is the bottom line of the marching speed of the entire army.

I was busy all day, and the army was stationed on the north bank of the Yellow River just after the sun set.

"Marson, what should I do if the floating bridge?" After setting up camp, I started having supper. When Yan Fei was holding the compressed biscuits and was frowning, Yue Wumu came over to ask what to do with the floating bridge behind him.

"Stay there." Yan Fei looked at him in confusion. "Is there something wrong?"

"Marson." Yue Wumu smiled bitterly and told the truth to Yan Fei, who was appointed as the Grand Marshal of the Army. "That's all the best steel! It's more expensive than copper coins. If you put it in the river, there must be people nearby who want to steal it."

"Hmm?" Yan Fei was stunned. He had never thought of such a thing.

There are countless steel products in the modern world, and no one can steal the military's pontoon bridge as if they are sick. But this era is different. Although the Song Dynasty was already the pinnacle of the economy in the feudal era, metal products were also extremely scarce materials. If anyone saw this steel pontoon bridge across the banks of the Yellow River, he would rush on it and bit on a few pieces to take it home.

"Send a telegram to Zhang Xian and ask him to send troops to guard the guards." Yan Fei thought about it and made a decision. "There is no problem in traveling north and south, and there is no need to charge crossing the river. However, whoever dares to steal steel will be arrested and punished. To do a good job of publicity, you must also send people to declare it everywhere. These are military supplies, and anyone who dares to steal will be dealt with by military law."

"There is one more thing." Yan Fei called Yue Wumu who was about to leave and go to telegraph. "This marching is too slow. I want to adjust the new army's ranks. When we set out tomorrow, the cavalry and the truck convoy set off together. The infantry guards and carriages set off. We take the lead and let Han Shizhong command the infantry to walk behind. We are waiting for them in Baigou River."

The infantry queue and numerous large trucks were clearly blocking the road when walking in front of the truck. Yan Fei didn't want to waste too much time on the road. He simply divided the troops into two parts. The cavalry and the trucks were fast enough to go to Baigou River first, and the infantry guarded the numerous large trucks to run behind.

"Receive the order." Yue Fei nodded and responded, then turned around and left to find Han Shizhong to make arrangements.

The next morning, the army set out, and the cavalry were the vanguard. However, these cavalry, who were all riding on horseback, pulled a large number of war horses and pack horses, were very fast. Behind them were hundreds of trucks. These trucks were much more powerful in speed and endurance than cavalry. They were completely to avoid unnecessary trouble and moved forward with the cavalry.

Going backwards are the infantry and baggage troops commanded by Han Shizhong. Although their speed is slow, there is also an advantage, that is, the barracks built by the cavalry in front are not dismantled, which saves the trouble of building barracks. They can walk a little longer every day.

After the army separated, the overall speed increased. The mobile troops composed of cavalry and trucks in front crossed the river and quickly headed north into Hebei routes, crossed Daming Prefecture, Dezhou, and Hejian Prefectures rushed towards the Baigou River of the Baoding Army. The infantry behind did not need to build a military camp, and their daily marching speed increased, but they were still far away.

The maneuverability of the cavalry and trucks is not a joke. When the infantry column and logistics supplies behind were still wandering near Daming Mansion, the mobile troops in front were already Tianjiazhai near Bazhou. In front of them was the famous Baigou River.

A few years ago, when the Jurchens destroyed the Liao Kingdom, the monarchs and ministers of the Northern Song Dynasty, who had no political acumen, signed a maritime alliance with the Jurchens, and agreed to jointly attack the north and the south to eliminate the Liao Kingdom.

The Jurchens in the north were extremely fierce and defeated the Liao Kingdom. Emperor Tianzuo, the last monarch of the Liao Kingdom, was frightened to death. He fled from Youzhou to Xijing, which is Datong. He even threw away the jade seal because of panic on the way. From this point of view, Emperor Tianzuo and Zhao Ji were really similar. No wonder they were both captured and became good friends in the Five Kingdoms City.

However, Emperor Tianzuo was obviously stronger than Zhao Ji, because when he was pulled out to perform a clown, Emperor Tianzuo seized the opportunity to escape on a horse. Although he was quickly caught up and shot to death by pursuers, he at least had the courage to escape from prison.

Zhao Ji didn't have the courage to escape, and he didn't dare to rush to beg for mercy. But later he was executed together because he was worried about the escape. These two emperors and gay friends who could die in the same hole.

When Emperor Tianzuo fled, he handed over Youzhou City to his relative Yelu Dashi, the founding emperor who had been in the Western Regions for more than 80 years and eventually died in the Western Liao Dynasty after Mongolia.

This Yelu Dashi is indeed the founding emperor and a capable person. After Emperor Tianzuo fled to Datong with the last elite troops of the Liao Dynasty, Yelu Dashi only had an army composed of less than 10,000 people in his hands. Of course, it was mainly cavalry.

In addition, Yelu Dashi also received support from Guo Yaoshi, a slave of the three surnames of this era. Guo Yaoshi's always-winning army had about 30,000 troops. They were facing 150,000 troops from the Western Army led by Zhong Shidao, more than 200,000 imperial guards led by Tong Guan, and soldiers from various places in Hebei.

The comparison of troops between the two sides was close to 10 to 1, and on one side, they were facing the Jurchens, lián    zhàn, and were almost forced to the brink of destruction of the country. On the other side, they spent 70 million chunks of military funds to build it, and with the belief of restoring their hometown, they came to take advantage of the army.

The final result was similar to when the Liao Kingdom was defeated in the Battle of Bubu Dagang a few years ago. The Liao army, which was at a disadvantage, defeated the Song army, which was nearly ten times more than its own. The entire Baigou River was killed and blood was rolling and corpses were everywhere. The army of hundreds of thousands of Song Dynasty was beaten to a total collapse. In addition to the Western Army, it could barely control the situation, the army commanded by Tong Guan, especially the imperial guards, was almost wiped out.

This battle defeated the courage of the State of Song and gave birth to countless sects. This battle also allowed the Jurchens to see clearly the reality of the State of Song and lay the foundation for their subsequent southward transition. It can be said that the cause of the Jingkang shame was here.

"The weeds here are really vigorous." Standing by the Baigou River and looking at the extremely dense and prosperous aquatic plants, Yan Fei's words were obviously meaningful.

"Zhong Shidao is incompetent! Tong eunuch deserves to die!!" The first one to break out was Li Gang. This hot-tempered old man has always been disgusted with the popular people around Zhao Ji. During the Northern Expedition, he opposed Tong Guan's eunuch who could be a bearded bastard as the commander. Later, Tong Guan lost hundreds of thousands of troops in the battle, which almost made Li Gang die of anger.

"Tong Guan is dead, it's useless to scold him." Zong Ze, who was heading north with Yan Fei, sighed repeatedly in a RV to Baigou. I don't know how many Song sergeants were lying on both sides of the Baigou River. It was their flesh and blood that made the water plants here flourish. This was really miserable.

"Pengju, I remember you also participated in that war, right?" Yan Fei looked at Yue Wumu beside him. He vaguely remembered that the information he had read said that he seemed to have participated in the Battle of Baigou River.

"I recruited Liu Xuanfu {Liu Fu} as a brave soldier {militia} to defend the Liao Kingdom. I did not face the Liao army's battle directly, which is very regretful." Yue Fei's eyes showed a hint of regret. When he came here, the Song army had been defeated and collapsed, and the Liao army did not go south to pursue but went north to resist the Jin army. He did not get the opportunity to fight with the Liao army. Moreover, he was just an ordinary soldier at that time. Although he was a captain, he was just a soldier.

Liu Wei was also a famous minister. In history, he committed suicide after the destruction of Bianliang City. Now he stayed in Bianliang City to handle official duties.

"It's a pity that the Liao Kingdom has been destroyed and there is no chance to fight with them again to avenge the revenge of the day!" After sitting in the RV drinking coffee along the way, seeing the strength of the troops under Yan Fei, Zong Ze also thought that it was a pity that he had no chance to take revenge.

"Who said there was no chance?" Yan Fei laughed, fully showing the intelligence advantage of a time traveler. "The opposite Yanjing city is Guo Yaoshi's always-winning army. There is also Yelu Dashi, who is not dead. Not only is he not dead, he escaped from the siege of the Jin soldiers and took a remnant army to the Western Regions and established a country called Xi Liao. Pengju, after destroying the Jurchens, I will prepare for the Western Expedition, and then you will have the opportunity to fill the regrets of that year."

Everyone here knows about Guo Yaoshi's affairs. This slave from the three surnames who played the role of the Liao Dynasty and the Song Dynasty and even the Jin Dynasty is well known. However, this is the first time they have heard of Yelu Dashi, an opponent in the Battle of Baigou River.

The Western Regions, there has been no news about the Western Regions for many years. Since the demise of the former Tang Dynasty and the rebellion of the Western Xia, the Song Dynasty has completely cut off contact with the Western Regions. Many people have not even heard of this word for many years.

No one expected that Yelu Dashi could do such a big thing, and he was indeed a talented person.
