Wanyan Zonghan was very satisfied with the performance of his cousin Wanyan Zongzhi, annihilating the 50,000 powerful Western army with very few casualties, and strangling the famous general Liu Fa of the Great Song Dynasty, which was undoubtedly a heavy blow to the Great Song Dynasty. It seems that the Western Army will come to the rescue, but I don't know who will get the next beautiful thing.

The seed master said, this old breeder who was over seventy years old led an army of 40,000 and set off, and his younger brother led an army of 60,000 to follow, and an army of 100,000 came to Taiyuan City.

Before, the reason why they did not come to rescue Taiyuan was mainly because everyone was skeptical about whether Taiyuan could hold it, and they were unwilling to take the risk to go on the expedition. Moreover, the western front is not peaceful, whether it is the Western Liao army, or the Jin country's Wanyan is not an idle person, once invaded, the Western army will have to defend the country, in this case, of course, no one will be willing to rescue Taiyuan.

Now the marshal of the Jin State has also defeated the Western Liao army, and has trapped the Western Liao army in Yunzhou, at this time, the Jin State and the imperial court have negotiated peace, in this case, the imperial court issued a holy decree to aid Taiyuan Mansion, first Liu Fa responded, and personally led an army of 50,000, but the result was that the whole army was annihilated, and Liu Fa himself was killed.

Originally, the Dao of the Seed Master did not intend to be recruited in person, but the death of Liu Fa deeply stimulated this old seed to be slightly more public, and in this case, the old man who was over seventy years old had to take revenge on his old friend.

Revenge, the seed master Dao is a heart to take revenge, he personally led 40,000 troops straight to Taiyuan Mansion, and the seed master led 60,000 troops to follow.

The last battle of Yangshan was purely an element of luck, and how could you rely on luck every time you fought a war. This time, I heard that it was the old handsome master Dao who personally led the troops, and Wanyan Zonghan had the idea of annihilating him, so he chose to fight in person.

There are 40,000 Western troops in front and 60,000 in the back, it is indeed a bit difficult to eat these 100,000 troops in one go, and Wanyan Zonghan does not have such a big appetite, this time he just wants to eat the 40,000 army of the Seed Master. As for the 60,000 troops in the seed division, let Tiefutu block it first, and then slowly eat it.

Wanyan Zonghan knew that Lao Shuai was a steady soldier and would not take risks, in this case, he didn't want to use any conspiracy, but used the advantage of the cavalry to defeat Lao Shuai in a bright way, and the location of the decisive battle was Hekou Town on the side of the Fen River.

Hekou Town, just on the edge of the Fen River, is a large town with many people and extremely wealthy, but it has long been sacked by the Jin army, and it is almost an empty town, and it is not uninhabited. After crossing the Fen River from here, you can get directly close to Taiyuan City.

Hekou Town is backed by the Fen River, and there is no doubt that this is the most suitable place for the Planter Road to cross the Fen River and march into Taiyuan. The reason why he thought that the Seed Master Dao would definitely come was because Wanyan Zonghan asked Wanyan Zongzhi to lead five thousand cavalry to garrison here.

Revenge, since you want revenge, you will definitely find the culprit who killed Liu Fa, that is, to find Yan Zongzhi's revenge. This time, Wanyan Zonghan calculated this correctly, and he asked his cousin Wanyan Zongzhi to lead five thousand cavalry to be stationed in Hekou Town.

The town of Hekou, where there are no civilians, is very suitable for ambushes, and it is also suitable for cavalry combat, choosing this duel is ostensibly beneficial to both warring parties, and it is suitable for cavalry sprints, and it is also suitable for infantry formation.

40,000 troops against 5,000 cavalry, this is a great chance of victory for the Seed Master Dao, in this case Wanyan Zonghan's layout is completely Yangmou, he does not believe that the Seed Master Road will take a detour, as long as this Song army and the cavalry under the command of Wanyan Zong are handed over, then everything will be carried out according to the envisaged trajectory.

After defeating Liu Fa, a famous general of the Western Army last time, Wanyan Zongzhi can be said to be high-spirited and full of confidence, and he is looking forward to the next victory of his own. There is no doubt that it is perfect for the old coach to breed the master.

On the seventh day of the third month of the second year of Jingkang, the wind and the sun were beautiful and cloudless, which was obviously a good day to go green, but these were diluted by the war and even disappeared.

Five thousand cavalry are ready to go, quietly waiting for the powerful Western Army, five thousand against forty thousand, this is obviously not a simple parity, the final direction of the war is centered on them, it depends on who can not clean up the old general.

On the wide battlefield, it can be said that the two warring sides are doing their duty, each showing their abilities, no matter who wins, it is reasonable, this battle, is the time for infantry and cavalry to fight and integrate well.

Five thousand cavalry lined up, this time the cavalry put on a posture of attacking with all their might, after all, the general battle is fought like this, the infantry defends, the cavalry attacks, and opens an exit with a sharp attack. The cavalry is in a Yanling array, and the strongest 1,000 cavalry is led by the commander Wan Yanji, who is at the forefront of the cavalry array, and will be the first to sprint in a while.

This cavalry is very different from the combat style of the previous Jin cavalry, the front is the light cavalry, almost no armor, the defense is very poor, but the mobility, speed is much stronger than the previous Jin cavalry, as for the Western Xia army, there is no need to mention. This thousand cavalry is extremely fast, who is as fast as the wind, it can be said that there is a fight with the Wind Shadow Army in the Han army, often using speed to the periphery, shooting the enemy from a distance, and then leaving quickly.

Cavalry against infantry, first covered with dense arrows, and then a stormy attack, often as soon as it came up, would bring great casualties to the enemy.

This light cavalry was ready for battle, and they just wanted to use their speed to drag down the Western Army.

The army opposite the army of the Jin State is the elite led by the old handsome seed master? These 40,000 troops laid out the Four Elephants Golden Lantern Array, which is a large array of all attacks and defenses, which shows how cautious the old man is, for fear of being ambushed by the Jin people.

Behind the prudence is conservatism, in the past, the Western Xia cavalry was to impact the infantry formation at the fastest speed, and after the formation was torn open, it would be divided and surrounded by the infantry under the cover of cavalry shooting, so that the mobility of the cavalry could be brought into play, and the momentum of the cavalry could also be well reflected. This time, the Seed Master Dao is still the deployment taken in response to this situation.

The Four Elephants Golden Lantern Array, not to say that it is arranged into a boxy array, so it is okay to fight against the infantry, but once it is against the cavalry, it is definitely passively beaten. This four-elephant golden lantern array actually divides the army into four levels, fortifies layer by layer, and guards the large array to the death, preventing the cavalry from breaking through the large array. Once the cavalry charge fails, then it will be plunged into a brutal positional battle, that is, the advantage of the cavalry will be exhausted. A cavalry without speed and impact is no longer called cavalry, at most it is infantry on horseback, and even inferior in combat effectiveness to infantry.

The Four Elephants Golden Lantern Array was improved by the Seed Master's Dao, and was specially created to crack the Western Xia cavalry, in the opinion of the old commander, the Western Xia cavalry and the Jin cavalry are almost the same, both need speed, need impact force. Depth space is needed, once the two sides are entangled, then they can change from passive to active, and entangle the Jin cavalry to the death, and annihilate it as much as possible.

With the sound of a low horn, the five thousand cavalry began to charge, rushing towards the large formation of the Western Army like a torrent of steel. This group of Jin cavalry roared wildly, like a group of wild beasts that drove out Mianyang, and the shouts were deafening, making people tremble and shudder when they heard it.

The sound of horses' hooves rubbing on the gravel, the neighing of war horses, the shouts of cavalry, and the horns of the bull are mixed together, which really shakes the ground and shakes the mountains, and the momentum that swallows thousands of miles like a tiger brings a powerful psychological shock to the Western Army.

Standing at the front were the sword and shield men, who held the handle behind the shield with their left hand, their bodies hidden behind the shield, and their long knives in their right hands. On the opposite side were cavalry, not heavily armored cavalry, so long knives could still bring great damage to the enemy.

The sword and shield soldiers were followed by spearmen, and the spears four or five feet long stretched from the back row to the front row, and as long as the war horse rushed over, it would definitely be pierced with countless blood holes. Whether it is a war horse or a cavalry, after being stabbed, it will bring huge damage.

Immediately behind the spearmen were the crossbowmen, and the reason why these long-range attacking soldiers were placed in the third row was to prevent them from being attacked by the Jin cavalry, and this conservative arrangement of troops did protect the crossbowmen to a great extent, but there was also a huge risk. When facing the cavalry cavalry, it is completely impossible to suppress the opponent in all directions.

The fourth and final row, this platoon of soldiers is a mixture of multiple arms, both crossbowmen, heavy infantry, sword and shield soldiers, spearmen, short spearmen, this is a reserve, according to the cavalry charge.

The speed of the cavalry charge became faster and faster, as if it was a whirlwind, and the distance was getting closer and closer, and when the distance between the two sides was less than two hundred paces, the speed of the cavalry charge suddenly slowed down, and the cavalry began to shoot at the western army with bows and arrows.

Seeing the dense array of arrows falling from the sky, the sword and shield soldiers standing in the first row hurriedly raised their shields to block the arrows falling from the sky. But even so, the crisis is still quietly coming.

The cavalry of cavalry archery is the fastest light cavalry in the Jin army, the speed of their sprint is fast, and the speed of cavalry and archery is unparalleled in the world, this group of guys sprints while riding and shooting, the speed of archery is faster than the infantry foot shooting, their bows and arrows are special, and the strength is not very strong, but the range is very long, and they shoot arrows at the western army from afar. Most of these bows and arrows bypassed the sword and shield men, and instead shot straight at the spearmen.

In the face of the dense flying arrows, it can be said that there is nowhere to hide, and can only be beaten passively, and the casualties are great. At this time, the crossbowmen behind the spearmen began to shoot at the Jin army. It's just that the speed of the cavalry is very fast, and the lethality that bows and arrows can cause is extremely limited.

When the Jin Army saw the flying arrows in the sky, he knew that he had been fooled, and the Jin Army did not want to use the impact of the cavalry to break down the Four Elephants Golden Lantern Array that he had placed, but to borrow the powerful cavalry and archery ability, and use the powerful cavalry and archery ability to remotely attack the soldiers in the center of the large array, so that the casualties would continue to increase.

Due to the problem of distance, it was difficult for the crossbowmen of the Western army to shoot the cavalry of the Jin State, while the cavalry of the Jin army was constantly shooting the spearmen of the Western army. Once the spearmen can't bear it, then as long as the Jin army breaks through the defense line of the sword and shield soldiers, then the western army is in danger of collapsing at any time.

Don't say that 40,000 against 5,000 is eight to one, in fact, once the infantry formation is broken through, then the cavalry can use strong impact and mobility to continuously divide and surround the infantry, and finally annihilate them all. As long as the large array is torn, 40,000 Beishuo against 5,000, even if the large array of 100,000 infantry is torn, it is very difficult to resist 5,000 cavalry with extremely strong combat effectiveness.

Adjustment, when the two armies have not yet confronted each other, the first adjustment was made by the Seed Master, which is a taboo on the battlefield, which will cause more instability in the large array, and it is easier to make it easier for the enemy to tear the large array. These situations have long been thought of by the Seed Master, and he still insists on adjusting them when he begins to do so, just for the final victory. You must know that there is cover from the sword and shield soldiers in front, so as long as the crossbowmen rush behind the sword and shield soldiers, they can still kill the enemy rashly.

The bows and crossbows of the Great Song Dynasty still crushed the Western Xia, the Liao State, and the Jin State, but unfortunately this is only the cognition of the Seed Master, in fact, his cognition has made a fatal mistake.

The cavalry of the Jin army became more and more intensive, and countless spearmen were shot, and the Jin army did not seem to have the intention of stepping forward, but only took a detour at the distance where the bow and arrow could be shot into the large array of the Western Army.

Although there are clairvoyant eyepieces, but it is not worth the old eyes that are over seventy years old, you must know that in that era when the average life expectancy is only in their thirties and less than forty, it is definitely rare for people to reach seventy years. The seventy-year-old Seed Master Dao is indeed a little old and dizzy, if he is replaced by a Seed Master, or he himself is twenty years younger, he can definitely find out Jin Jun's true intentions, but unfortunately, there is no if.

Adjustment, just when the Western Army completed the adjustment and completed the transfer of archers and spearmen, the Jin Army suddenly made a huge adjustment. The light cavalry, which had been charging at the very least, actually detoured towards the left flank of the Western Army at the highest speed, while the cavalry behind rushed up, frantically attacking the Western Army's large array like sharp knives.

Without the assistance of the spearmen, it was impossible to stop the steely impact of the Jin army by relying on the sword and shield soldiers, and as countless sword and shield soldiers died after being hit by the cavalry, the large array was quickly torn open a gap.

The gap is small, but the impact of the Jin army is very strong, far exceeding the Western Xia soldiers of the year, without the suppression of spearmen, the sword and shield soldiers cannot be blocked at all, and once they are in close combat, the archers become the target of slaughter.

The 4,000 cavalry of the Jin Kingdom rushed into the large array of the Western Army like 4,000 wild wolves, killing the Western Army frantically. The sword and shield soldiers can still resist to the death, but the archers are far behind, they can't resist at all, and the casualties are very large.

The number of casualties is constantly rising, and the opening is getting bigger and bigger, which is not the most fatal, the key is that the light cavalry of the Jin Kingdom soon tore a hole in the left flank, so that the large array of the Western Army is no longer monolithic, and if it is not adjusted in time, it is likely that the whole line will collapse.
