    On May 7, the fourth year of Yongxing, all Han armies had assembled and entered the forward positions.

    This time, Han¡¯s national mobilization not only carried out large-scale mobilization in the mainland, but also incorporated armies from Nanyang, Japan, Ryukyu and other places into combat orders. The scale of the troops was quite astonishing.  The front-line troops alone number one million, and there are 300,000 reserve troops in the Central Plains, Shandong, and Shaanxi areas, ready to go into battle at any time.  ¡¾¡¿ Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!

    The reason why the Han army was able to mobilize so many troops was also due to the fact that it controlled a large amount of human resources after conquering Nanyang, Japan, Tubo and other places. After paying a lot of money, it was naturally able to recruit a large number of local soldiers into the army.

    Of course, the quality of these soldiers is definitely not as good as that of regular and well-trained Han soldiers. Many of them even couldn't fire a gun when they joined the army. Therefore, Yue Yun did not place great hopes on them and only devoted them to the offensive.  Less important places such as the Western Regions, Korea, and Hetao.

    The main force of the Han army was attacking the Youyan area. Several elite troops including the Beiwei Army, Tabai Army, Xuanfeng Army, etc. all gathered here.  Prepare to capture Yanjing, the capital of the Liao Kingdom, from the front and seize the land of Youyan in one fell swoop.  ""Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!

    Of course, the Liao army was not to be outdone. As early as a month ago, they had transferred back the Khitan troops from the Western Regions, Hetao, Korea and other places, leaving only some old and weak remnants in the local area to maintain law and order.  The main force of the Liao army was all gathered in the Youyan area, with a total strength of more than 400,000, which was basically the same as the Han army's 500,000. Yelu Pusuwan also came to the front line to boost morale.

    Everyone in the Liao army knows this.  What impact did this war have on the fate of the Liao Kingdom?  They all expressed their gratitude to their beloved queen.  He will never retreat and vows to fight the Han army to the end.

    The Youyan battlefield is covered with clouds of war. Nearly a million troops are displayed here. There are frequent movements and the soldiers are in a hurry. This is another Northern Expedition of the Han army after three years, and it may even be the last Northern Expedition.  If this battle can be won, the Liao Kingdom will lose all its elite troops.  They will fall like dominoes, and the Han army's power to dominate the world will be unstoppable.

    Out of pride in our own powerful troops, sophisticated weapons, and excellent commanders.  The Han army was full of confidence in victory from top to bottom.

    In the Han army camp, many soldiers were talking about the gossip about Yue Yun and Yelu Pu. Many officers and soldiers laughed and said that this time they must capture the Queen of Liao and present it to Yue Yun.  This made Yue Yun, who heard some rumors, couldn't help crying or laughing.

    At this time, as the commander-in-chief of the Liao army on the Youyan battlefield, Yelvpu quickly completed his main force.  In particular, the Black Wolf Army, the elite force of the Liao Army, was displayed in the Beiwei Army under the direct command of Yue Yun.  The intention of attacking the Yanshan line was very obvious, which was to defeat the army personally commanded by the Han Emperor Yue Yun and completely destroy the morale of the Han army soldiers in order to achieve victory.

    Yue Yun knew Yelvpu Suwan¡¯s thoughts. She wanted to defeat her head-on in an attempt to reverse the unfavorable situation.  She knew very well that the powerful offensive of the Han army had now become an unstoppable trend. The only way to stabilize the battlefield situation and gain enough breathing time for Daliao was to defeat the team under her command.

    Of course, this is also his idea.  If Yelvpu can be defeated quickly at Yanshan, the southern gate of Yanjing will be wide open, and the Han army will be able to march straight into the city of Yanjing.  With the sharp firearms of the Han army, even if Yanjing City has high walls and thick walls, it may not be able to withstand the bombardment of the Han army regardless of the cost.

    ***************************************************  *************

    On May 15th of the fourth year of Yongxing, after careful preparations by both Han and Liao, the war officially broke out!

    On this day, Guo Yu and Dai Yi led the Tibetan army and part of the Han army to attack the Western Region in two directions, aiming directly at Hu Sihan's ears. They were unstoppable along the way and encountered almost no resistance.  Along the way, the Liao army almost fled.  It only took them half a month to reach the outskirts of Hu Sihan'er, and only then did they encounter stronger resistance.

    However, in the face of the strong strength of the Han army, the Liao army's resistance only lasted a few days. After the city wall was blown down by Han army artillery, the morale of the defenders collapsed.  The Han army quickly entered the city and occupied the old capital of the Liao Kingdom.

    At the same time, Guan Ling and Niu Tong led the army from Lingzhou to the Hetao area, launching a fierce attack on the Hexi land of the original Xixia. The person guarding the area was Ren Xifeng, Ren Dejing's nephew, who had less than 10,000 people in his hands.  There is no way to fight against the Han army's 200,000 troops.

    Fortunately, Yelvpu didn¡¯t ask him to stick to the city after the end of the battle, he just asked him not to surrender.  So not long after the war started, Ren Xifeng retreated north into Mongolia.He wanted to lead the Han army to pursue the grassland, so as to cause conflict between the Han army and the Mongolian tribes.

    However, Guan Ling did not underestimate the enemy and advance rashly because the enemy had few troops. Instead, he fought steadily. After occupying the Hetao and Hexi areas, he did not pursue the Liao army. Instead, he sent troops to occupy various cities separately. However, the main force began to move eastward, threatening You.  Datong at the west end of Yan.

    On the same day, Lu Wenlong also landed on warships from Tsushima and Jeju Island under the guidance of Wang Wen, one way landing in Busan and the other way in Jeonju.

    Originally, the allied forces composed of the Han army, Japan, and Goryeo were gearing up for a big battle, but unexpectedly, not even a Liao army was seen after they landed ashore.  At first, Lu Wenlong thought that the Liao army was also trying to strengthen the wall and clear the country, and wanted to lure the enemy deep into the enemy's territory.  However, after sending a large number of scouts for investigation, it was determined that the Liao army had escaped.

    This made him feel relieved and led the army to stride forward. In just one month, he reached the Yalu River from Busan and prepared to enter Liaodong.

    At the same time, the Han army attacking from the direction of Shuozhou, under the command of Yue Fei, violently attacked Xuanfu.  Although the Han army suffered heavy casualties due to the desperate resistance of the Liao army, they finally captured Xuanfu and opened a gap in the west of Youyan.

    Yue Fei then took advantage of the victory to pursue, and began to attack Yunzhou, threatening the west gate of Yanjing. Although here, due to Yelu Songshan's command and response, and Yunzhou's defenses were relatively strong, the Han army's attack failed.  However, the number of Han troops besieging the city was three times that of the Liao troops. I believe that as long as it takes more time, Yunzhou's defeat will be inevitable.

    The current situation, no matter from which aspect you look at it, is a sure win for the Han army.

    However, Yelu Pusuwan turned a deaf ear to what was happening on other fronts.  She only placed 50,000 elite Black Wolf troops on the Yanshan battlefield to confront the Beiwei army commanded by Yue Yun.  (To be continued.)
