The terrain of the Nanyang Basin is flat and open, like a plain, but the closer it gets to the Funiu Mountain Range, the terrain takes a sharp turn. The terrain here is complex, and there is only one road in the middle that can pass through Kuiwen Pass, Yangcheng Station, Wuguan and then ~ enter Guanzhong. This road used to be a busy place for merchants, but now it is cut off, because the army is stationed here, and who would dare to go and die.

Kuiwen Pass to the southeast, the terrain gradually opened up, like a bell mouth, and after reaching the line of the water, the terrain has been completely opened.

It is precisely because of the narrow terrain on this road that it is not conducive to the deployment of large armies. Therefore, the two sides chose to fight a decisive battle near Lixian, because the troops under both sides are tens of thousands, and everyone wants to give full play to their advantages.

One hundred miles southeast of Kuiwen Pass, the county seat of Lixian is located on the east bank of the river. The river originates in the Funiu Mountain, flows down from north to south, and just cuts off the road from Nanyang to Guanzhong.

Because the river is turbulent, it gets the name Turbulence.

After Huan Wen led the army to withdraw all the way, considering the danger of fighting near the water, he simply withdrew the army to outside the county seat of Lixian, that is, on the east bank of the turbulent water. Li Xin, who arrived later, arranged the army on the west bank and watched for the time being.

The place of engagement is a problem, either Li Xin crosses the river or Huan Wen crosses the river. But it is obvious that Huan Wen retreated directly to the east bank, the purpose was to avoid fighting against the water, and it was obviously impossible to come back.

In this matter, Li Xin seemed to be very generous, and he sent someone to tell Huan Wen that he could cross the river to fight him, but he had to withdraw ten miles away first.

Baili has already retreated, and Huan Wen naturally doesn't care about the ten miles distance. What's more, after Li Xin crossed the river, there was turbulent water behind him, which meant that the Tang army had no place to retreat. In that case, even if the fighting is unfavorable, the troops will not be able to withdraw.

Therefore, Huan Wen readily agreed to this condition, especially when his strength was almost twice that of the Tang Army.

After the agreement was made, Li Xin led his army and began to cross the river. As soon as they reached the opposite bank, they immediately set up a military formation three miles away and put on a defensive posture. After that, the remaining 20,000 troops crossed the river.

To Huan Wen's surprise, Li Xin did not immediately approach the city after crossing the river, but lined up along the river, only a little more than a mile away from the turbulent water behind.

"I heard that when he was on the bank of the Qing River, Li Xin formed a formation near the water and defeated Murong Ke's 100,000 army with 15,000 soldiers and horses. Now it seems, isn't it that he wants to use that set again? After Xi Chao saw this, he couldn't help but say.

"At this time and that time, when he was on the bank of Qingshui, he set up a formation like that to deal with Murong Ke's chain of horses! Then, at that time, he still had 5,000 mounted cavalry in his hands, and this time almost all of them were foot soldiers. The battle between us will definitely not be like the one on the bank of clear water, because this is a battle between foot soldiers! Huan Wen shook his head and said indifferently.

"Speaking of which, what I really need to pay attention to is probably the 10,000 unbroken army! This is Li Xin's pro-army, the combat power is unparalleled, the courage is abnormal, and the armor is also heavy, I am afraid that the general means are not to take them! Wang Tanzhi said with some worry on the side.

"That said, we're not completely out of the woods. After the start of the war, Deng Yao led the army to fight against the unbroken army, as long as they were trapped. After the other 20,000 Tang troops are resolved, they can concentrate their forces to deal with the unbroken army! Huan Wen had obviously already thought about this problem on the way, so he commanded at this time.

Compared with the Yan army, the Jin army has its own advantage, that is, the number of armored soldiers is more, although it is still not as good as the Tang army. In addition, the weapons are relatively sophisticated compared to the Yan army, after all, there are a lot of talent resources on Jiang Zuo's side.

Especially in recent years, there have been very few major battles in the south of the Yangtze River, so under a relatively stable situation, there is a stable rear that can provide material support. At this point, Yan Guo cannot be compared. Especially in terms of wealth, the Jiangzuo court was much richer than the Yan state.

Even if all the resources are not spent on the army, as long as a small part is taken out, it is much more than the Yan Kingdom.

Like what kind of bow and crossbow chariot and the like, Huan Wen has a lot of them in his hands, which is one of the reasons why he dared to promise Li Xin a head-on decisive battle.

The two sides have finished their formations and are facing each other three miles apart.

"Attack with the herald!" After Huan Wen saw it, he took the lead in ordering the troops.

As the sound of war drums sounded, all the soldiers and horses under his command rushed towards Li Xin's side with shouts. On Li Xin's side, the sound of the horn of attack also sounded later, and he was in the center with the unbroken army, and with 20,000 ordinary soldiers on both flanks, he rushed towards the Jin army.

Both armies rushed towards each other, and after a short distance of three miles, they soon drew closer. Under the violent collision of the two armies, they merged together in an instant.

At this time, the Bupo Army was led by Zhang Hao and another general, and on the other hand, it was a 20,000 Chinese army led by Deng Yao, known as Jiangzuo's first fierce general. There were many chariots in the Jin army, and they rushed over at this time, and it was obvious that their goal was not to break the army.

When they rushed over, they surrounded the unbroken army with these chariots, as if trying to trap them in one of them. Although the unbroken army is relatively slow to act because of the heavy armor it wears, it is not stagnant.

So, where will they be surrounded by the Jin army. Zhang Oyster was particularly brave, and after seeing the chariot come up, he jumped up with his sword without dodging, and jumped directly on top of the chariot to kill. Such a fierce appearance suddenly startled the surrounding Jin soldiers.

Of course, it soon attracted Deng Yao's attention. He had already heard of the name of Zhang Oyster Deng Qiang, and at this time, he immediately killed Zhang Oyster where he was. It didn't take long for these two fierce generals to fight together, and for a while, it was quite difficult to distinguish between victory and defeat.

On the other side, Li Xin did not go directly to the battlefield to kill the enemy this time, but stayed in the rear to watch the battle like Huan Wen, so that he could adjust his strategy at any time.

The Bupo army was cut and surrounded by the chariots of the Jin army, which made the formation unable to be connected, so as to give full play to the magnificent momentum of the hoplites.

He saw all this, but he didn't make any adjustments to it, and at this time, his attention was basically on the 20,000 troops on both wings.
