Yangshan is the only way for the Xihe Road Army to Taiyuan Mansion, and it cannot be avoided at all. Because the other cities were occupied by the Jin army, unless it was a siege, it would be absolutely impossible to pass.

Rescue Taiyuan Mansion, originally Liu Fa was unwilling to save, he was very dissatisfied with the official family's house arrest of the Han King, you must know that Liu Zhenglong is not only his life-saving benefactor, but also a righteous brother. The official's practice of unloading the mill and killing the donkey made Liu Fa very disgusted, but he admired Wang Yu's courage in resisting the Jin army, and after receiving the holy decree, he still took the right person to it.

Eat a trench, grow a wisdom, only twenty-four-year-old Wanyan Zongzhi fell a big heel in the battle of Taiyuan, this young man was not discouraged, on the contrary, more high-spirited, he needs to prove himself too much, there is no doubt that this time in Yangshan to block the Western Army, the first general Liu Fa is the best proof. Of course, the premise is to win, otherwise everything is empty talk.

The art of war, knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent, will not be defeated in a hundred battles. Wanyan Zongzhi had an in-depth understanding of the famous generals of the Great Song Dynasty before the invasion of the Song Dynasty, and the reason why he fell big in Taiyuan City was not because of incompetence, let alone because he didn't understand Wang Yu, the key was that the newly built outer city of Taiyuan City was too nonsense, and even Wanyan Zonghan, who had two walls of the empire, was helpless, and failed to attack the city six times, how could he expect a young man to conquer it in one fell swoop?

Liu Fa is good at scheming, and when he was fighting against the Western Xia, he defeated the Western Xia army countless times because of the scheming, which can be said to be on par with the Western Xia God of War Jin King Richard Brother, who is good at commanding troops to fight positional warfare. Richard's biggest shortcoming is that he is dull in tactics, rarely comes up with surprises, and basically defeats the enemy in a decent manner. And Liu Fa's biggest deficiency is the command of the army, frontal resistance battle, the Xihe Road Army has not defeated the Western Xia once, of course, this also has a lot to do with the infantry against the cavalry, but this also reflects from the side that Liu Fa's soldiers are not trained enough for the formation, and when facing the cavalry impact, they cannot organize a strong infantry array, and the ice vein is reasonable.

The battle of Shuofang is a typical example, Liu Fa was almost destroyed by the Jin King Richard Brother, if it weren't for Liu Zhenglong's help, the first general in the northwest of the Great Song Dynasty would have fallen.

This time, dispatching troops, Wanyan Zongzhi has made detailed arrangements for Liu Fa's shortcomings, and I believe that this time Liu Fa can see what it means to be 'golden people are not more than 10,000, and more than 10,000 are invincible'.

Yangshan is not a very tall mountain, but it is so big that it is difficult to detour from Xihe Road to Taiyuan Province. There is a wide mountain road in the middle of Yangsan. On both sides of the mountain road are not too high but very steep mountains, which are not a good place to block the attack, because once you find that you are ambushed, it is easy to withdraw from the mountain, at least Liu Fa thinks so.

Yangshan, which is not suitable for blocking, has one thing that other mountains do not have, that is, the mountain road is suitable for cavalry sprinting, which is a mortal threat to the marching infantry.

It is not suitable for blocking, it does not mean that it cannot be blocked, at least Wanyan Zongzhi thinks so, this guy uses Yangmou, that is, he puts a large army at the front of the mountain road to block it, as long as he holds the position and does not lose it, and then he personally leads the army to cover and kill the Xihe Road Army from behind, drive the 30,000 horses into the mountain, and then close the mountain and carry out the final killing.

In this way, the battle of Yangshan, which is not suitable for blocking, is about to begin, and at the forefront of the mountain road is the prestigious Tiefutu, this armed heavy cavalry can be said to have swept thousands of troops on the battlefield, and there is no team to compete with it at all. The Tielin Army of the Liao State is not good, and neither is the Iron Harrier of Western Xia. The other heavy cavalry were crushed, not to mention the infantry.

Tiefutu faced a problem like other heavily armored cavalry, that is, the durability was very poor, and fighting for an hour was almost the limit, once it exceeded an hour, the war horse could not bear it, and it was basically defeated without a fight.

This time, Tiefutu's task is very simple, that is, not to sprint, just to hold the mountain pass, so that the physical exertion is less, and the durability of combat effectiveness can be greatly improved.

Liu Fa guessed what the situation would be if he was blocking in Yangshan, he sent scouts to observe the terrain, and came to the conclusion that even if there were 10,000 cavalry to block the attack, it would not be able to block the impact of 50,000 infantry, after all, no matter how wide it was, it was a mountain road, and the speed of the cavalry was still greatly inhibited. 10,000 cavalry blocking 50,000 infantry in this situation, it is definitely a defeat for both sides, and even the infantry is still a little light, after all, there are many people. As for more than 10,000 cavalry, if it becomes 20,000 or 30,000 cavalry, then the whole space will be narrow, and the superiority of the cavalry will not be even more visible, but it will be more difficult to exert combat effectiveness, and it will not be as effective as the infantry.

When the cavalry launches an attack, it must have a large depth, and there must be a large enough open space for the cavalry to attack, so that the cavalry's mobility and flexibility can be maximized. Once the space is narrow, the more cavalry there are, the worse the combat effectiveness will be, and there is no way to rely on the speed of the cavalry to break down the local defensive array.

This day, maybe it is a day of anger and resentment, this day, maybe it is a day when God weeps, this day, maybe it is a day when blood is going to flow like a river, history will remember this day, the second day of February in the second year of Jingkang, this day is commonly known as the dragon raising its head, but this day is a disastrous day for the Xihe Road Army.

In the gloomy and gloomy weather, there was a cold wind, giving people a cold wind and a biting feeling, just when the 50,000 army slowly walked into the Yangshan mountain road less than a quarter of an hour, suddenly the wind was fierce, the clouds were thick, the lightning flashed and thundered, followed by the pouring rain from the sky.

Yangshan is a bare mountain, and there is not even a place to shelter from the rain, of course, there is no way to set up an ambush, which is also the reason why Liu Fa neglected to prevent entering Yangshan.

"Speed up." When it was raining heavily and there was no way to dodge, Liu Fa could only order to speed up.

50,000 horses stretched for more than ten miles in the long mountain road, which was a relatively dangerous distance, and once attacked, the consequences would be unimaginable. Originally, the line was not so long, the key was that the rain was too heavy, the front army accelerated forward, and the rear army could not be fast if it had a heavy load, so the line became longer and longer, and the longer it was, the more dangerous it became.

Danger is coming, the front Xihe Road Army finally encountered two thousand heavily armored cavalry armed to the teeth, Tiefutu, before the appearance of the Han King Cavalry, Tiefutu is the strongest cavalry in this era, it can be said that what kind of enemy is faced, it has a crushing advantage.

The two thousand iron floats are divided into two teams, the front and back, the biggest flaw of the iron float is the lack of stamina, so the two iron floats will attack alternately, the limit of one team is one hour, and the strangulation of two hours is enough to solve the problem.

The commander of the first Tiefutu is called Tudler, this guy is not a Jurchen, but a steppe tribe, and the commander who can be promoted from a slave to an iron float depends on strength, in fact, this guy's combat effectiveness is more powerful than the first warrior of the Jin country, Wanyan Qige, the reason why he is nameless, the key is the status of a slave.

Tudler is a slave of Wanyan Zonghan, and his achievements in pacifying the war have been mixed with the commander of Tiefutu, you must know that the commander of Tiefutu is more powerful than the commanders of other Jin army. There are only 8,000 iron floats in the entire Jin country, which shows how high the status of the commander is.

Tudler waved his jagged mace and said in a stiff Jurchen language, "Kill them all." ”

With Tudler's order, a thousand Tiefutu rushed out like an arrow from the string, and the terrain here was slightly higher than the terrain in front, so that the impact speed of Tiefutu was very fast, like a torrent of steel rushing towards the Xihe Road Army.

Due to the rainy day, the bowstring lost its elasticity, which was obviously not suitable for archery, and the visibility was very low in the heavy rain, so that when the Xihe Road Army saw the Tiefu map, the distance between the two sides was already very close, and it was obviously too late to set up a formation, so they could only wave the weapons in their hands to meet the battle in a hurry.

In the heavy rain, this heavily armored cavalry armed to the teeth looked like a soul eater crawling out of hell, looking eerie and terrifying, and the momentum made people shudder and shudder.

The Xihe Route Army had never fought with the heavily armored cavalry, and in the face of Tiefutu, who was armed to the teeth, they rushed to the battle, and it was destined to be a brutal massacre.

The horse's hooves jumped high, crushing the soldiers' sternums, and in the screams, countless soldiers died tragically, and Tiefutu waved the weapons in his hands, just like harvesting leeks, brutally killing the Western army. This Western army, which has fought countless battles with the Western Xia cavalry, has suffered a crushing slaughter today, and it is impossible to organize an effective defense at all.

In this battle, Tiefutu was destined to become a nightmare for the Song army, since the Jin State invaded the Great Song Dynasty, it can be said that it was invincible, and the Song army fled in despair, so that the most powerful cavalry did not really throw themselves into the battlefield. Today, however, Tiefutu launched a bloody killing. Under the impact of the powerful heavy armored cavalry, the soldiers of Xihe Road continued to retreat, and they could not organize a defense at all.

Tiefutu is often a dual-weapon configuration, when rushing to kill, the soldier is using a spear, with the speed of the impact of the war horse, the spear stabs forward, almost every time it is stabbed out, there will be an enemy falling, every assassination does not fail, this kind of bloody killing, it is simply a nightmare for the infantry, there is no way to dodge.

Tiefutu rushed to kill, and the western army was defeated and retreated, the ground was full of corpses, the blood was washed away by the rain, and there was no trace left, but the soldiers who fell to the ground did not have time to fight back until they died.

Counterattack, the Xihe Road Army is the strongest Western Army after all, in the face of the surprise attack of the Jin Army, after surviving the initial panic, it quickly organized a counterattack, but the strength of the counterattack is too small, it can be said that it is difficult to cause damage to Tiefutu.

The knife slashed at Tiefutu's armor without any use, in exchange for Tiefutu's merciless killing. On the battlefield, there is only you who lives and dies, and there is nothing merciless.

After Tiefutu rushed to kill, he fell into the encirclement of the Western Army, at this time, the spear was hung on the side of the war horse, the war horse rushed forward, and the spear was still very lethal. The soldiers began to change into long knives to cut off the heads of the Western Army. Heads fell to the ground, and corpses that had lost their heads slowly fell to the ground.

Seeing the tragic death of the Pao Ze brothers, the soldiers of the Western Army were full of heart and gall, and they wanted to go up and bite each other, but this was a heavily armored cavalry Tiefutu armed to the teeth, and the sword could not hurt the other party.

Tudler was like a raging giant bear, and every time the giant mace in his hand was raised, a Western soldier would be killed, and his brain would basically burst. In the face of this guy with infinite strength and amazing combat effectiveness, the Western Army couldn't resist it at all. Like a scalpel, Tudler brutally tore the Western army through a big gap, and he went on a rampage in front, bleeding everywhere he went, followed by Tiefutu behind.

Kill, kill, this time in the face of Tiefutu's brutal killing, the Western army can be said to have no choice. Unable to stop an effective counterattack, the entire formation was very chaotic, and it could be said that the killed could not be defeated.

There are more and more killings, and the speed of Tiefutu's advance is getting slower and slower, but as Tiefutu deepens, the casualties of the Western Army continue to expand, and if this continues, the whole battle situation will get out of control.

Tiefutu's combat effectiveness, in this time in the Yangshan showed great might, less than half an hour, 10,000 Western troops were killed, this is brave and good at fighting, extremely strong Western Army, but not the Great Song Dynasty Forbidden Army that fled in despair. This Xihe Route Army was the strongest in the Western Army, and had been fighting with the Western Xia for many years, although it faced the Western Xia cavalry, but it was fearless and fought bravely. However, this time, in the face of Tiefutu, who was armed to the teeth, he really only had to be slaughtered.

This tragic killing has a lot to do with a flaw in Liu Fa's troops. An army of 50,000 marched out, with archers at the front, spearmen followed by spearmen, and sword and shield men at the last. There were no axe soldiers at all, the key was that the axe handle was too short to play when encountering cavalry. However, he never imagined that when encountering a heavy cavalry like Tiefutu, armed to the teeth, it was the axe soldier who could inflict the most damage on the opponent, and only the axe could easily cut off the horse's legs.

Yes, cutting the horse's legs, armed to the teeth does not mean that it is invulnerable, there is still a fatal shortcoming, that is, the war horse's knees are not armored, especially the knee part, which is the most vulnerable, basically as soon as the axe is cut over, the horse's knee will be cut off. After the knees of the war horse are cut off, the unbalanced war horse will fall, and once the cavalry wearing heavy armor falls from the horse, it is difficult to stand up, which can be said to be the best chance to be killed, and it is difficult to live.

This is how the Yue family army defeated Tiefutu back then, but unfortunately, at this time, without the Yue family's army, Tiefutu was still an invincible existence, and he was still brutally killing the Western army.

As the battle progressed, the speed of Tiefutu's impact became slower and slower, and it almost fell into a situation where it was difficult to move an inch, and in front of it was the struggling, but unwilling, and unable to retreat.

Tiefutu is generally a dual-weapon configuration, when rushing to kill, a spear is used, basically a stab will kill an enemy, the spear with the impact of the war horse, that is definitely a killing artifact, the power is amazing. Once in a stalemate of dogfights, Tiefutu would hang his spear on the side of his horse and attack with a long knife, sending his head to the ground in a flash of cold light.

The cavalry is condescending, and the long knife in the hand is very easy to cut the enemy's head, while the infantry attacks from the bottom to the top, and must cross the height of the war horse to be able to kill the opponent, so the use of long knives is not much, most of the time it is spears and spears.

With the swing of the long knife, one by one the heads were cut off, and they fell to the ground, trampled on by people, and trampled by horses. A corpse with a lost head fell to the ground spraying blood, and the tragic situation made the Western army heartbroken, and they were furious.

Anger cannot but be transformed into combat effectiveness, the killing of Tiefutu is still continuing, and the casualties of the Western Army are constantly expanding. At this time, the casualties of Tiefutu began to appear, when the leg of the first war horse was cut off, the soldier fell to the ground and died, followed by the IU appeared, the second, the third, the fourth, the casualties continued to expand.

Just when Tiefutu's casualties expanded, the rear army Tiefutu rushed over, and the front army Tiefutu quickly retreated, and when he withdrew from the battlefield, the number of people was counted, and more than fifteen people were killed and wounded, and the Western Army was definitely more than fifteen thousand, and the killing ratio was one to one, which was definitely an extremely terrifying number.

The rear army Tiefutu is a new force, full of momentum, the strong impact force once again forced the Western Army to retreat, the two sides fell into a melee again, this time, the casualties of Tiefutu are gradually increasing, the Western Army gradually adapted to the strong impact of Tiefutu, the retreat speed slowed down significantly, and the two sides fell into a stalemate.

The front army suffered the brutal killing of Tiefutu, and the rear army suffered not much easier, the eight thousand Jin country cavalry were divided into two teams, and took turns to attack the western army, one impact was more fierce than the other, and this impact did not know how many times stronger than the Western Xia cavalry.

This damn heavy rain makes the bow and arrow not exert its power, and the most effective weapon of the Western army against the Western Xia cavalry has always been the bow and crossbow, without the bow and crossbow, the infantry blocks the cavalry, that is a miracle, and without a miracle, it can only be killed.

There was still a battle against the cavalry in the big array, but in the case of a hasty battle, it was destined to be killed. After all, Liu Fa was a generation of famous generals, and after surviving the panic, he soon began to set up a battle to meet him, and the rear army soon fell into a stalemate.

It is the will to fight and the combat effectiveness to fight in a stalemate, and to put it bluntly, it is the crushing of absolute strength, and there is no strategy at all. In this battle, Liu Fa's conspiracy was useless, and this battle was destined to be a fiasco, so miserable that the history books could not record it.

The war lasted several hours and did not end until dark.

A generation of famous general Liu Fa was killed, and the 50,000 Xihe Road Army was wiped out, while the casualties of the forbidden army Tiefutu barely exceeded 100, and the casualties of the cavalry were less than 2,000. This battle is a classic example of the Jin army's encirclement and reinforcement, and it is destined that the situation in Taiyuan City will be more severe in the future.

After hearing the news of the death of the famous general Liu Fa, King Han spurted out a mouthful of blood and passed out in a coma. Encirclement and reinforcement is a classic example of the Jin army, which was played vividly in the battle of Taiyuan, but Liu Zhenglong, who was far away in the capital, was beyond the reach of the whip, and after he came to his senses, he felt extremely uncomfortable, and he was reflecting on whether he was wrong. If he was on the Western Front, Liu Fa would not have died in battle, but is there a if in this world?
