I am Da Song

Chapter 324 The prestige of the army is unprecedented in modern times

The emperor's personal conquest, the entire Song court went all out to make full preparations for this.

The country's violent machine was activated, and the government acted vigorously. In the third year of Jianye (1132 AD), on the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, the imperial court officially dispatched troops.

In this battle, the Song army stationed 32 troops in Yunzhou and Youzhou.

The Tokyo Imperial Battalion has even gathered 11 elite imperial troops, who will personally participate in the emperor's swearing-in ceremony.

The weather in the first month is still a little cold, but the soldiers are full of energy.

From early in the morning, more than [-] troops began to gather in teams, forming an array along the Bianhe River. The phalanx was majestic and boundless.

There is no curfew in Tokyo, and the gates of the city are wide open, so it is still daylight, and countless people in Tokyo City bring their families to the edge of the city to watch the Forbidden Army gathering in formation.

I saw the well-dressed and dignified phalanxes marching neatly into the big formation. Since the sun rose, the scale of the big formation has been expanding.

The phalanxes were arranged in an orderly manner, and the banners were flying, and soon the formation became boundless.

Looking into the eyes, one can only see that the flags are like the sea, the spears are like reed columns, and the shields are like heavy walls.

Before the phalanx, there was a high platform and a big banner built by the Ministry of War, with a banner for sacrifices, and six animals in prison.

When the army was assembled, Zhao Huan had already put on the military uniform and armor, led the ministers and ministers to complete the sacrifice in the Taimiao, and solemnly prayed to the ancestors about the news of the country's oath to go to war.

More than [-] elite imperial troops lined up in front of the imperial court, with dense banners.The guards have been lined up from the palace to the outside of the city.

After sacrificing to the ancestral temple, Zhao Huan personally wore the military uniform, went out of the palace to ride on horseback, and guarded the front and rear. Teams of majestic cavalry held high the long-spear flag and relied on it.

Thousands of cavalry guarded Zhao Huan and stepped out of Xuande Gate. Immediately, the bells and drums rang together, and Fa Jialubo was the guide, singing and singing happily.

The people on both sides of the long street in the city cheered wildly when they saw the Yellow Dragon Banner, the Son of Heaven.

It was under the banner of Huanglong that Song Dynasty repelled the invasion of the Jin army, quelled the rebellion of the scholar-bureaucrats, and ushered in a peaceful and prosperous age of Jianye.

This is the banner that can bring triumph to the Great Song Dynasty, a symbol of victory, and the banner of the Son of Heaven that most arouses the morale of the soldiers and civilians!

Amid the wild cheers of the people, Zhao Huan Yuma commanded the huge cavalry of the Imperial Army, and the formation slowly marched out of the city from the Zhuquemen.

The cavalry of the Forbidden Army with armor shining in the sun, spears like a forest, and densely covered with flags lined up slowly in six rows, trampling densely with horseshoes, as if the entire long street was shaking, and the sound of loud footsteps stirred people's hearts.

The South Gate of Tokyo City is more than 20 meters high, and the five majestic gates with golden nails and vermilion lacquer are all opened. Lines of cavalry come out of the tall and magnificent gate openings, and the banners are continuously raised.

After the iron cavalry, there was a larger and more organized elite infantry phalanx. Every time the orderly footsteps sounded at the same time, it seemed like thunder resounded through the city of Tokyo.

The armor on the soldiers is bright, with bows and arrows on their waists, and there are dense spears everywhere, and they can't see the end at a glance.The army of Xuanjia and red robes passed by the shops on both sides of the long street.

The gates of the shops on both sides of the long street were crowded with the people of Tokyo City, cheering and sprinkled flowers and colorful brocades on the army passing by.

The iron cavalry marched from the city to the front of the three armies, and two rows of trombones on the school platform played heavy and boundless music at the same time.

Amidst the sound of horns, Zhao Huan dismounted from his horse, walked to the high platform on the corridor lined with iron armor and flags, stood at the highest point under the fluttering banner, and looked back at the boundless and majestic phalanx.

The privy envoy Zhang Shuye held the edict and solemnly declared:
"The imperial edict said: The great virtues of the heaven and the earth will bring down heavy frost in the autumn decree; the sages and sages are the most benevolent, and the armored soldiers will be in the punishment code."

"So I know that good fortune has chills, and righteousness lies in selflessness; the emperor's use of weapons is not self-sufficient."

"Yellow Emperor fought 52 battles, and Cheng Tang conquered 27 times. Only then did he give virtue to the princes and order the world."

"In the past, Lu Fang was a small bandit, and the ancestors of the Han Dynasty were still close to the army. The embers of Kui's clamor, Guangwu still climbed the dragon. Don't you want to get rid of the violence and stop the war, and those who work and then relax!"

"I have compiled it into a treasure, and the king is in the world, illuminated by the sun and the moon, and touched by the wind and rain. Who is not my minister? I teach alone."

"As for the Jurchens and clowns, the years are eternal, and the evil is full; the evil of the heavens is a sign of perdition, and it is a sign of death; the chaos is always corrupt, and there is no way to win;"

"The barbarians of the Kingdom of Jin are arrogant and disrespectful, stealing money from our frontiers, invading our cities and towns, starving people like houses, and fighting endlessly. But the perpetual evil is endless, and the banquet is safe and poisonous. This is tolerable, what can't be tolerated!"

"So I personally commanded the Sixth Division, used Shen Jiu to attack, and advanced in a hundred ways. I will personally hold the martial arts festival, face the armies, mow the horses in the desert, watch the soldiers in the black water, follow the sky to punish the overseas, save the poor people from the upside down, and conquer To correct it, to punish it with virtue.

When the weather is right, I am hereby ordered"

After the words fell, the voices of the soldiers of the three armies were thunderous.

"Long live!"

"Long live!"

"Long live!"

The sound of 10,000+ soldiers shouting on the mountain was earth-shattering.

Frenzied shouts sounded simultaneously from the phalanx stretching for more than ten miles, and the sound of mountains roaring and tsunami could be heard for dozens of miles.

The emperor personally marched, and the morale of the soldiers of the three armies was like a rainbow.

Standing on the high platform, Zhao Huan looked down at the army of iron armor like clouds, swords and swords, only feeling the pride and ambition, gold and iron horses swallowed thousands of miles like tigers.

Excitedly, he pulled out the sword at his waist and personally ordered: "Sacrifice the flag and go to war!"

Book of Rites: The Son of Heaven and the State are all in prison.So cattle, sheep, and pigs are all used.

The scarlet blood splattered under the blade, symbolizing that the army flag will see blood, and if Loulan is not broken, it will never be returned!

After sacrificing the flag, the iron cavalry took the lead in getting on their horses, clanging and moving, and went up the Hebei River.

When the sun was rising, the first army had already set off, until the bright moon hung high to lead the troops, and the banners stretched for more than a hundred miles.The military prestige is unprecedented in recent times.

Just after the personal expedition camp division had just crossed the Yellow River, 32 forbidden troops on the border also crossed the border at the same time.

The elite of the Song army gathered together, and the fierce generals were like rain.

The commander of the Shenwu Left Army sent Li Yanxian to lead [-] troops out of Shuozhou, and went straight to Yunnei Prefecture, where the main logistics force of the Jin Army's [-] troops was located.

The commander of the Jingsai Army made Han Shizhong lead [-] troops out of Yunzhou, and directly took all the Kyushu states behind the mountains occupied by Jin State, vowing to completely cover the sixteen states of Yanyun in the Central Plains.

The commander of the Shenwu Empress Army sent Yang Yizhong to lead [-] troops out of Jizhou and directly captured the Jin Army's Liaoyang Mansion.

Wu Jie, the commander of the former Shenwu army, led [-] troops out of Beijing, and took the Jin army directly to Linhuang Mansion.

Zong Ze, the envoy of Xuanfu on Yanjing South Road, led Wu Lin, Wang Yan, Qu Duan, Zhai Xing, Wang De, Wang Bolong and many other famous generals of the Song Army to command 12 troops in the center, and went straight to the Jin Kingdom to go to Beijing to meet the main force of the Jin Army. At the same time waiting for the driver.

All of the above famous generals are famous generals who can defeat the Jin army with a few hits.

In particular, Wu Lin is famous in history for his outstanding achievements in fighting against gold.

Wang Bolong is the military god of Jin Kingdom's non-Jurchen lineage.

Famous generals of the Song Army gathered together, all the way like a broken bamboo, symbolizing the rapid expansion of the color of vermilion in the Song Dynasty from south to north.

In just one month, the Song army expanded thousands of miles north, defeated tens of thousands of Jin troops, and captured tens of thousands of horses and camels.
