Chapter 237: Cold Numbers

Thirty thousand corpses have been piled up on the battlefield.

Wanyan Fu was stunned and trembling.

He had never faced such a stubborn opponent.

It also took a serious hit to his self-confidence.

In history, Wan Yanfu is a very powerful person.

Five years ago, the Song-Jin Sea Alliance was only the battle in which Jin Liao tore his face.

The entire Jurchen tribe thought they would be suppressed by the powerful Liao army.

After all, there were only a few thousand cavalry under the command of Wanyan Agu at that time.

But what about Liao?

There are six ace legions under the command of the Yelu royal family of Liao.

Each legion alone is no less than 100,000 people.

At that time, Da Liao heard that the Jurchens had a rebellion, and directly dispatched a legion of 100,000 people to conquer the wild Jurchens.

Wan Yan Ah Gu himself also felt that something was wrong, because Wan Yan Fu took the initiative to stand up and take the responsibility of survival.

He led all the 4,000 cavalry of Wanyan Aguda and attacked the Liao army camp.

Although it was night that time, the Liao army was defenseless.

But Wan Yanfu took the iron cavalry to enter and exit several times in the military formation of the Liao army, cutting vertically and horizontally.

By daytime, the Liao army was defeated.

More than 20,000 Liao troops were captured.

Since then, the Wanyan family has truly risen in the north.

became the last gravedigger to bury the Great Liao Yelu family.

And four years ago in the Battle of the Summits of the North.

The Liao State almost dispatched an army of 300,000 in the country to hunt the north with Yan Aguhui.

This battle was a decisive battle in the north.

If Liao wins, there will be no gold in the world.

Jin Sheng, then there is no Liao in the world.

Wanyan Aguda also fought with 50,000 against 300,000.

Once again, he pressed the heavy injection on Wan Yanfu's body.

It took two months for Wanyan to scatter the 300,000 Liao army and fall apart!

Within two months, 70,000 were beheaded.

120,000 prisoners.

The remaining 110,000 people do not know what to do.

This is Wanyanfu.

A veteran general of the Jin Kingdom who served for Yan Agu at the same time as Sticky Han.

It is also the reason why Mu Han is very relieved to hand over the heavy task of attacking the Northwest Army of the Great Song Dynasty to him.

Now Chen Xinghan and his Northwest Army are facing a strong man like Yan Fu.

But then again, Chen Xinghan's Northwest Army was not afraid at all.

Because the army under his command can be said to be the most capable army in the entire Song Dynasty.

Not one of them!

Because of the Central Plains of all dynasties, the northwest is a strategic military location.

Northwesterners have rough voices and tough personalities.

It is most suitable for fighting on horseback and farming on horseback.

Throughout the ages, just one of the great northwest of Guannei has produced countless brave generals.

It is also a summary of the wise saying that "the northwest fights the world, and the two Huai rule the world".

Northwest!

Since Qin Shi Huang, it has been a place where the Chinese army advocates force.

By the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, most of the famous generals of the Han Dynasty were born in the Northwest family.

So much so that during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the northwest was also a place where war gathered.

Even in the prosperous Sui and Tang dynasties, the Guanlong Group, which dominated the military back then, also had a strategic position that could not be ignored.

In today's Great Song Dynasty, although the armament of the northwest land is not as good as before, eight or nine out of ten brave and warlike warriors are from here.

In particular, the Song Dynasty practiced reckless militarism for many years, and the power of the civilian clique was greater than that of the military clique.

But even so, the Northwest Army will still almost collapse the Western Xia, which is far away from Tibet.

If the Great Song Dynasty did not use military force, but continued to use the government military system of the Han and Tang dynasties.

The brave and warlike Northwest Army had long since knocked Western Xia off the map.

At the same time, there should be Da Liao and the rising star Jin Guo who disappeared from the map.

Therefore, in front of the Northwest Army, which also advocates force, the 100,000 army of Wanyanfu can only hit nails.

Chen Xinghan not only did not have the slightest fear.

On the contrary, Chen had 200,000 soldiers, and he had to fight a decisive battle with the remaining 70,000 people who had finished Yan Fu on the field battlefield.

But Wanyan retreated and avoided its edge.

He was scared!

In addition, Wan Yanfu, who was already suffering from malaria, also knew that he could not command a head-to-head duel.

Especially in the face of the 200,000 elites of the Northwest Army who can fight well, Wan Yanfu's heart was jealous.

Seeing that Yan Fu did not fight, Chen Xinghan began to let people scold Yan Fu.

For such a radical method, Wan Yan Fu simply pretended to be deaf and dumb, and did not hear it.

This means that it is somewhat of the flavor of Zhuge Liang's radical general Sima Yi during the Three Kingdoms period.

No matter how Zhuge Liang humiliated, Sima Yi was determined to avoid his edge.

On the contrary, Chen Xinghan was anxious to fight, and he was like a chicken blood all day long, excitedly trying to find a way to stimulate his opponent.

Until the two sides stalemate for half a month.

Wanyanfu ushered in a glimmer of hope.

That is, the 70,000 troops transferred by Mu Han arrived at the northwest battlefield.

In total, Wan Yanfu has almost 150,000 elite soldiers in his hands.

After sweeping away the decline, he decided to wash away the shame of the past half a month.

And Chen Xinghan also got the intelligence that reinforcements from the Jin army were coming.

Actively preparing for the next big battle.

Early the next morning.

The military town of the Northwest Army was full of smoke.

After the soldiers had cooked and eaten, they prepared for a decisive battle.

The 200,000 elites of the Great Song Dynasty led by Chen Xinghan.

Seven formations were formed.

On display in the Land of a Hundred Battles.

It's like an ironclad mountain forest, looking around, you can't see the edge.

The Northwest Army had 500,000 people, 200,000 to defend the military town, and 200,000 to start a decisive battle here.

The remaining 100,000 people left Tongguan early, bypassed the range of Yan Fu's army sequence, and quietly went north, preparing to capture Taiyuan!

It's a miracle all the way.

At present, the Jin army has not noticed it.

All eyes are on the frontal battlefield.

The catapult and the three-bow bed crossbow put in by the Song army did not get off the front frame.

Make sure that in the first wave of the attack, the soldiers of the Jin army will be reduced by 8,000 or even tens of thousands.

In order to deal with the Jin army this time, Chen Xinghan transferred all the middle-aged soldiers who could fight from the army here.

This great war, from Chen Xinghan to the Northwest Unification Army, broke out in everyone's expectations.

On the opposite side, the Wanyanfu army gathered infantry, cavalry, rushing chariots, iron pulleys and other military branches.

They also knew that life and death lay in this battle, so although many people in the Jin army were in turmoil, they also generally showed an aura of never flinching.

Chen Xinghan rode his horse and looked around along the frontline formation, and immediately let the herald wave the flag.

A moment later, the war drums were heard.

As soon as the drum exploded, the 100,000 Chinese troops swallowed mountains and rivers and steadily pushed forward.

The 50,000 troops on the left and right flanks remained unmoved.

The same is true for Wan Yanfu's side.

Send 70,000 Chinese troops to the front.

The formation of the Jin Army is also majestic.

Such a general battle will only be effective unless there are twice as many troops as the other side.

Otherwise, there would be more than 350,000 people, and the impact on the battle situation would be almost none.
