Su Yonglin's speech was recognized by everyone.

Everyone believes that the combat effectiveness and logistics of the Restoration Army have been upgraded to a very high level by Su Yonglin. With such blessings, if the remnants of the Jin army that were about to be defeated, it would be a crime.

The Restoration Army is the strongest army on the East Asian continent and an invincible army to fight the world, so they must win and not lose!

So he attacked Daqing Pass. The order of Tongguan was sent to the Qilu Corps and Henan Corps by the Staff Office, and handed over to the commanders of the two corpses, Su Haisheng and Zhang Yuejing.

When Su Yonglin learned that Su Yonglin asked them to attack Daqing Pass and Tongguan, Su Haisheng and Zhang Yuejing were both very serious and felt a little embarrassed.

Especially Zhang Yuejing, Zhou Zhi led his army to attack Tongguan once before, and was driven down twenty-one after twenty-one attacks Shangguan City. It can be seen that the Jin army's defense is so high that it shows how high the Jin army's fighting will is, which cannot be ignored.

But the letter Su Yonglin wrote to the two was also very clear.

The Restoration Army has been reborn and is now the strongest army on China's China. There is no reason to be helpless because of the two passes.

All the preparations should be made, and the military's organization and training level are far higher than those a few months ago. There is sufficient food and sufficient weapons, and there is absolutely no problem with logistics.

Under such circumstances, if the Restoration Army cannot conquer Daqing Pass and Tong Pass, it will be a serious military problem. Su Yonglin will hold the military issues of the Qilu Corps and the Henan Corps accountable, and Su Haisheng and Zhang Yuejing accountable.

There is no way out.

So Su Haisheng and Zhang Yuejing made the same move.

They summoned all the officers and instructors of the Central Camp Commander and above of all the participating troops, presented Su Yonglin's handwritten letters, informing them of Su Yonglin's basic meaning, and letting them know what kind of battle it was.

"We have no reason to defeat the war."

The two of them conveyed this meaning to the army in a surprisingly unanimous manner.

After the officers and instructors returned, they held their respective military meetings, conveying the meaning of superiors to the grassroots level and to the ears of every soldier, so that every soldier knew that they had lost the qualification to defeat the war.

If you don’t win a battle, you will be sorry for Su Yonglin and the whole people’s trust and commitment to the Restoration Army.

At the pre-war ideological preparation meeting, the will of all the soldiers participating in the war had been unified, and all the forces were heading towards the same place had completed combat preparations.

In response to the upcoming battle, the Qilu Corps and the Henan Corps have prepared a large number of large and large inland ships, and prepared personnel who can drive the ships.

At Su Haisheng's request, the Qilu Corps even prepared ships and building materials that could build ten floating bridges, gathering almost all the craftsmen who could build bridges, waiting for the war to start and give a decisive blow to the Jin army defending the dangerous barriers.

On the other hand, Zhang Yuejing was in charge of Luoyang and still handed over the task of attacking Tongguan to Zhou Zhi and his You Yijun, allowing them to wash away their shame with completely different will.

"If you can't take Tongguan, then the shame of defeat will always follow You Yijun and follow yourself. Only you can wash away this shame. So, don't let me down, don't let the general down!"

Zhang Yuejing handed over the power to decide his destiny to Zhou Zhi. Zhou Zhi embarked on the journey with red eyes and the fully prepared You Yijun, advancing to the attack position, ready to launch an attack at any time.

While the Restoration Army was approaching the border to prepare for an attack, the Xixia side also received a note from Su Yonglin. Su Yonglin asked the Xixia side to dispatch certain troops to perform martial arts in the border areas to attract the attention of some Jin troops and to restrain part of the Jin army for the Restoration Army.

In fact, in order to prevent the Western Xia army and the Southern Song army, Tu Shan Hexi had to place more than half of the troops on the northwest and southwest borders to prevent the raids of the Western Xia or the Southern Song Dynasty.

At present, he could only use less than half of the remaining troops to guard against the attack of the Liberation Army. One of the main garrisons was in Tongguan and the other was in Daqingguan. The last reserve team and mobile troops were staying with him in Chang'an as the last insurance.

He appointed Jingzhao Yin Wuyan Pulihei to lead 10,000 troops to guard Tongguan, and ten thousand Wanyan Xinilei to lead 10,000 troops to guard Daqing Pass, locking down the two most important routes of the Liberation Army to attack Guanzhong.

The remaining troops are mainly stationed in Chang'an. If anything is wrong, they can be quickly remedyed.

For this war, the Henan Corps and the Qilu Corps dispatched 50,000 troops. Together, this was a large-scale military operation initiated by 100,000 troops.

In order to ensure the logistics of 100,000 war soldiers, Su Yonglin also mobilized more than 150,000 civilians and auxiliary soldiers, mobilized 50,000 livestock and 30,000 vehicles of various types to ensure the logistics of transportation.

He is bound to win this battle.

In early May, the attacking forces had arrived at the starting position of the combat, and the final decisive battle could be launched just by waiting for the order of the chief general.

At the same time, the Southern Song Dynasty did not respond much. The Western Xia side also pulled out the garrison troops stationed on the border of Xiazhou area to carry out military exercises in accordance with Su Yonglin's request, which made the Jin army in Guanzhong feel uneasy and was also guarding against the possibility of the Western Xia army going south.

Because he had previous experience in failing to attack Tongguan, Zhou Zhi made more preparations for this attack and brought more firearms and siege equipment to ensure that the battle could keep up with the consumption in three months.

The battle before was really frustrating. Since Zhou Zhi was defeated, he has been constantly thinking about the reasons, strengthening his control over military training, focusing on military training, and paying great attention to You Yi's army's training. He almost lives and eats and lives in the military camp every day and rarely leaves the military camp.

With his efforts, You Yijun's training and organizational level have indeed increased to a great extent. Zhou Zhi even sent someone to build a Tucheng that simulates Tongguanguan City and took the army to simulate training and siege, which obviously regarded Tongguan as his own shame.

But he also knew very well that the reason why Tongguan appeared there was because Tongguan was indeed extremely dangerous.

The Yellow River goes south and turns east, and the Wei River comes from west, and it just flows into the Yellow River at the turning point of the Yellow River turning, dividing this area into three pieces. The north and south sides are Qinling Mountains and Zhongtiao Mountains. The two mountains stand together, constraining the Yellow River in an extremely narrow area.

In this area, there are various hills and high plateaus.

The so-called plateau is a unique landform on the Loess Plateau. It is a platform-shaped highland formed by the erosion of water flow. The top of this terrain is very flat and has a very large area, but the surrounding area often has a steep cliff shape due to the erosion of rivers.

The Qiangguan Hangu Pass, which Qin State relied on to block the six Shandong countries, was built at the entrance of a crack in a plateau. Its dangerous terrain made the coalition forces of the six countries sigh and said it was insurmountable.

Tongguan is different from Hangu Pass. The original Tongguan was built on the top of the plateau. The Yellow River was on the edge of the plateau. There were no tidal flats and there were no pedestrians. The only way to enter Guanzhong was to climb to the top of the plateau to conquer Tongguan.

If the Eastern Army wants to reach the top of the plateau, there is only one road to access, that is, there is a road called Huangxiangban on the edge of the Yellow River.

The road is only a few meters wide and about fifteen miles long, easy to defend but difficult to attack. The defending city also set up a checkpoint here, called Jindou Pass, which is enough to make any attacking army afraid.

It is difficult to cross Huangxiangban and face Tongguan City directly. Basically, as long as the defenders do not infringe on their own, there are no internal problems, even if the attacking party hits his scalp and flows bloodily, he will not be able to take Tongguan.

This is Tongguan before the Tang Dynasty.

After the Tang Dynasty, as the Yellow River continued to cut down and the water level decreased, the shallows on the edge of the high plateau were exposed and became a road. Pedestrians from the east could directly bypass Tongguan and enter Guanzhong through this road. The old Tongguan on the top of the plateau was meaningless, so the Tang government built the new Tongguan.

New Tongguan was built on the shallows, facing the Yellow River, blocking the road to the shallows, and the blockade was completed again. After that, the route to attack Guanzhong was very direct, heading westward.

Therefore, compared with before the Tang Dynasty, the degree of danger in Xintongguan was actually somewhat reduced.

But it was just a relative decline. If you really want to fight, as long as the defenders are effective, they can still make the attacker beat the head and bloody and helpless.
