The gunfire is rumbling, and the smoke is full.

In the northern part of the Hejifu Road, Cangzhou Road and Zhaoyi Military Territory.All the places are fighting together.Nearly 700,000 officers and soldiers from both sides fought one of the fiercest battles on both sides of the Yellow River in the north.After receiving the news that the Taiyuan Province was captured by the Hedong Army, the IRA immediately issued orders to the Army of Hebei East Road, the Army of Hebei West Road and the Taihang Army as a reserve.

At this time, the Hebei East Road Army, Hebei West Road Army and the Pacific Legion were greatly strengthened.All the garrisons on the side of Hebei's border countries were integrated into the three armies.The total number of infantry and cavalry divisions under each regiment was 10.

In addition, the three major armies also received a large number of siege artillery units and independent engineering units.The total strength of the three major armies has exceeded 450,000!

At the same time, logistical support was provided to such a large number of troops.Zhou Guo's Tianjin Province, Yanshan Province, Yizhou, Zhuozhou and other places have been fully mobilized.At least 600,000 dynasties and 200,000 mule carts, as well as thousands of ships.

That is to say, on the battlefield in Hebei alone, the Republic of Great Weeks has invested more than one million well-organized armed soldiers and civilians!

Such mobilization and organizational capabilities are unimaginable on the side of the Song Dynasty.

In the history of the propaganda and the Northern Expedition, the army on the books is only more than 100,000, and the actual number of people is probably less than 100,000, and because of the abuse of civilian power and the supervision of the department, it has triggered a series of civil uprisings, known as the propaganda and the great riots in the north.

For the sake of this war, the Great Zhou Republic mobilized more than 1.3 million manpower in the land excluding the new territory of Hedong, accounting for nearly 10% of the total population.

This ability to mobilize and organize has approached the level of the seven heroes of modern countries or ancient war powers.

Of course, the use of the people's power to this level is not only the advantage of the ability of the citizens' republic to organize, but also the contribution of the black land in the Liaohe River Basin.

As early as the era of Liaoguo rule, the Liaohe River Basin has been vigorously reclaimed and tens of millions of acres of good fields have been reclaimed.By the time of the Great Zhou Republic, the development of the Liao River Basin had once again been accelerated by the large-scale investment of the Liaodong Agricultural Bank.

The Han farmers who migrated from Yandi and Hebei to the Liaohe River Basin brought advanced agricultural technology, and the powerful handicraft industry in Tianjin could provide high-quality and inexpensive iron agricultural tools, and the Knights' House of Zhou and Dong Liao could provide enough large animals for the Liao River Basin for farming.

Moreover, through the continuous occupation of the land of the Golden State, the arable land area of Liaodong Province is also increasing.Before the Republic annexed the Golden State to Beijing Road for eight years, the cultivated land in Liaodong Province alone reached 70 million mu!

This is 70 million acres of black land!Even if half of the wheel is sown, there are 35 million acres of land planted with wheat, and the annual harvest is more than 100 million stones.

A weekly country with a population of just over 10 million does not consume so much food, and even if it is exported, wine-making and feeding animals in large quantities, it cannot use so much.

So before the outbreak of the eight-year-old Song Zhou War in the Republic, Zhou Guo had accumulated an amazing amount of grain!

Even if agricultural activity stopped completely for three years, there would be no famine.

As a result, Zhou can draw millions of labor from agricultural production for combat.

On the other hand, although the population of the Song Dynasty is as high as 100 million, the vast majority of the land population is controlled by the non-combatant landlords.The court could not even clear the land, let alone distribute the burden of war mobilization reasonably.

Fortunately, the invasion launched by Yeru Yanxi more than a decade ago made the sergeant landowners of Hebei know the powerful, so they became more cooperative.The great development of Zhou Guo has absorbed the surplus population of Hebei, greatly eased the contradictions between people in Hebei, and to a certain extent, also reduced the burden on the working people of Hebei, so that they can provide logistical support for the huge Hebei garrison and Zhaoyi soldiers.

Of course, the strong combat effectiveness of the new army is also the reason for the taming of Hebei.

In the face of 300,000 new armies, any civil change is not worth mentioning!

However, this time the Great Zhou Republic dispatched a new army with 450,000 equipment, training and morale.It also took advantage of the new army side of the Song Dynasty and was roundaboutd by the Zhou Junhe East Army Army, and had to start a magnificent attack battle when it began to withdraw.

In the Hebei Xuanfu Department, which has just been relocated to Shenzhou, it is a chaotic and low atmosphere.Those scribes who were angry in the past could not cope with the chaos of the war, and had to withdraw some professional officers from the army to assist Liu Ziyu, who replaced Zhang Jun in charge of the military's machine room.

But now the Hebei Song Army has been caught in a difficult-to-reverse decline, and it is no longer a good command and dispatch can be reversed.

The mechalants in the military aircraft room, whether they are serious professional officers or amateur soldiers, are helpless to feel helpless at the black arrows that continue to extend on the map.The red arrows representing the Song army and the fortress defense system along the edge have fallen.

Cangzhou Road is still stable, Wang is worthy of the new army to grow up with the famous, although old, but still responsive.When the main force of the Zhou Army's Hebei East Road Army broke through from the Qingchi Fortress and the Yanshan Fortress and made a rounding trip to the rear of Nanpi Castle, he resolutely issued the order to withdraw from the whole line.

In order to withdraw as soon as possible, he even ordered the destruction of heavy artillery and a large amount of grain and grass that had been transported to the front line, and abandoned many of the troops stationed in the front-line fortress.Only led the main force of less than 50,000 people, all the way to the road lightly.Finally, before the Zhou army's roundabout troops surrounded the South Pi Fortress, he led the army to seize the Yongji Canal, which won a little time for the smooth withdrawal of the troops.

But in terms of inter-river road, the Song army suffered a disaster!

Trapped in the big city, fishing villages, and hundreds of thousands of IRAs in the Qingzhou triangle suddenly broke through the line of defense of the Song Army, and then the whole army rushed to the river.At last, in the great city governor's way, Yao Gu had to gather the troops and follow the IRA.As a result, it was hit by a headache near the strong forces of the Republican Army.

It is a service, and Yao Gu meets the enemy with the tactics of the castle that the Song army has used.The Zhou army put forward the general phalanx tactics, first with the overwhelming advantage of the artillery to carry out heavy bombardment, and then launched a phalanx assault, with the latest fire rope guns and long guns, the loss of the fort cover of the Song army completely smashed.

Just one day after the decisive battle, the 60,000 troops led by the teachers and Yao Gu were crushed.

Seed and Yao II will reluctantly escape to the city of Hejifu under the protection of their children's relatives, and the number of soldiers and horses has been less than 3,000.It is not enough to guard the river.Therefore, they can only protect the Hebei Xuanfu Shi and the river road to calm the department and other departments retreated across the Xiangdu River and fled to the deep state.

Through this battle, there was a terrible gap in the Hebei defense line in Song Kingdom.The garrison defense line, which has high hopes, has no effect.

After the capture of the Hebei Province, the Zhoujun Hebei West Road Army was almost free to operate in the hinterland of Hebei.

It can go straight to the headquarters of Hebei Cao Shi, and attack the flanks of the Zhaoyi Army to the west, or cooperate with the army of the East Hebei Road to the south.

You can even do all three at the same time!

In the final analysis, on the battlefield in Hebei, the IRA was fighting 300,000 with 450,000 people!There are also 100,000 troops rounding up from the river.The strength advantage is quite obvious, so you can attack multiple ways without having to worry about being broken by each opponent.

In contrast, the Song army, at least 100,000 people are now left in the bastion and fortress that have lost contact, and life and death are uncertain!More than 50,000 people were annihilated in the Battle of the city.

300,000 new troops, now only half can be used!

But the remaining half of the new army is not good.Nearly 50,000 of Wang’s population are still trying to escape.

Although the tens of thousands of people in the Zhaoyi Army have contracted in a timely manner, they have now given up the Zhendingfu and Dingzhou and are moving to the nest of Xiangzhou.But the speed of the rounded troops is obviously faster than them!You can take the city before the Zhaoyi Army!

In addition, the Pacific legion of the Zhou army also went south from the Yizhou gathering ground, and hundreds of thousands of troops followed behind the ass of the Zhaoyi Army, and constantly ate the temple army thrown out by the Zhaoyi Army.

For the Song army on the battlefield in Hebei, it is now in a desperate situation.

Lu Yi Hao sat in the geek room, looking expressionless at the sothe teacher, the seed teacher, Yao Gu and a group of machines gathered in front of the map to argue.

There are only eight words in the heart, "the heart to kill the thief, unable to return to heaven."

Because this Hebei war is not lost on the battlefield, but lost on the national law.

The great Song of ten thousand people exhausted its national strength and even owed a huge debt to barely maintain more than 300,000 new troops.And Zhou Guo, who has more than 10 million people, is likely to exceed 600,000 if he invests in the new army on the battlefield in Hebei!

The comparison of the organizational capacity of the two countries alone has already decided.

The Great Song lost on the ancestral family law!

If this ancestral family law cannot be completely changed, the great Song will die!

While Lu Yihao was thinking of the pain of the country that Dae Song was going to die, when there were tears in his eyes, a young officer in a faetle quickly walked into the machine room and loudly reported: "The last time the propaganda department's barracks will be the chief of the court will see the commander of the mission, the pro-camp has been completed, and can be escorted to the sergeant at any time!"

Because the soldiers and horses of Yue Chuan were defeated and the morale was not high, they were filled as a reserve in the battle of Huocheng.Therefore, he was transported, not annihilated by the Zhou army, but guarded the two species and Yao Gu fled.

After arriving at the inter-river house, Lu Yihao, who had no troops around him, was going to serve as a close soldier.

Today, according to Lu Yihao's general orders, he arranged the troops and prepared to protect the propaganda department and other departments to continue to flee.
