Wang Xiao is the Great Wall that exits Gubei.

Standing on the pass and looking at the towering Great Wall, he thought in his heart that relying so long as such a Great Wall is almost impossible to defend itself everywhere.

When the herdsmen on the grassland head south, they rely on their powerful mobility to concentrate their strength to fight a little. However, it is very difficult for the defenders, mainly infantry, to reinforce.

In the bloody battles with the grassland people in all dynasties, only the strong Han and the prosperous Tang dynasties could beat the grassland to call them fathers because they used cavalry on a large scale.

The only one who can win the decisive battle with the grassland tribe with infantry as the main force is the only one who can win the Great Qin army under Zulong.

"How can we make the grassland people fall in love with singing and dancing?"

Wang Xiao fell into deep thoughts for this.

It was unrealistic for the Song Dynasty to develop cavalry on a large scale because it needed a large number of horses and horse farms. This is what the Song Dynasty lacked.

The Xixia rebelled and took away the last horse farm. The territory in the pass was not enough to grow grain, so who would change it to a pasture to raise horses?

It’s not that no one understands this, but that there is no choice under the huge interests.

To form a huge cavalry team like the Han and Tang dynasties, it often requires dozens or millions of horses. Wouldn't it be better to have so much money to hang out in a house with three tiles and two tiles?

Horses are a delicate animal, and what they can really use for more than ten years. This requires continuous large-scale investment.

Judging from the virtues of the civil officials of the Song Dynasty, this kind of thing that only investment can not see the reward, and it is a matter of contributing to the martial artists. If you sell their whole family to three tiles and two houses, they will not do it.

"King Yan, the horses are being explored and said that the Jin soldiers have entered Bei'anzhou."

Zhu Biao's report made Wang Xiao come back to his senses from his thoughts.

"Are they going to defend the city?"

Zhu Biao's expression was a bit strange, "Not many people entered the city, most of them set up camps outside the city."

Wang Xiao was stunned for a moment, then laughed.

Uh, he accidentally brought the habits of the Three Kingdoms world. Wang Xiao, who had returned to his calm face, nodded, "I'm looking down on us."

At this time, the Jin soldiers were at the peak of morale. Even when they went south to Bianliang City, they were not as strong as they are now. Because they had already gained full force at that time.

A robber with large and small bags on his body will not have much combat power.

"King Yan, how about we select elite soldiers to attack them?"

The battle to attack Zengtou City was extremely classic. Tens of thousands of unprepared Liangshan bandits were beaten to almost end in one battle.

Zhu Biao and the others often boast about commemorating each other, and they want to come again if they have the chance.

Gubeikou is not far from Bei'anzhou. If you choose elite troops for one afternoon and one night to force the troops, you can indeed launch a raid in the early morning.

However, after thinking about it, Wang Xiao refused.

The reason is of course that the Jin soldiers who fought with the Liao Kingdom all year round were incomparable to those chaotic Liangshan bandits.

Wanyan Chang is also a long-time general who is old and war-torn. Even if he is arrogant, he still has basic vigilance.

Don’t be able to steal the chickens at that time, but instead, a group of elite soldiers will be brought in.

Of course, these reasons cannot be directly mentioned. In that case, it will increase the prestige of others and destroy one's own morale.

So Wang Xiao said this, "We are the Huanghuang army, so there is no need to make such a calculation when fighting these barbarians. Just kill them and crush them."

All the generals around him nodded, and the business praised Wang Xiao for being grand.

Three days later, Wang Xiao and his men confronted Wanyan Chang's troops at the city of Bei'anzhou.

In fact, Wang Xiao arrived two days ago, just to wait for the follow-up soldiers to stay for another day. There were still 10,000 or 20,000 people who even left Gubeikou.

The transportation conditions of this era cannot allow your tens of thousands of troops to go wherever you say.

They all set up long snake formations along the road and rolled layer by layer. Not to mention that there were a large number of people who were dragging down the speed with the military and civilians.

Although the victory or defeat may be decided in half a day when the war begins, in fact, the preliminary preparations are based on months or even years.

It was Wanyan Chang who took the initiative to start the war, not Wang Xiao.

Wanyan Chang has rich experience in the battle formation.

When Wang Xiao’s front army arrived, he didn’t fight because he felt that there was not enough manpower to fight by himself.

He didn't choose to wait until Wang Xiao's entire army arrived before fighting, because there would be too many people like that.

Wanyan Chang chose the opportunity that Wang Xiao's troops had arrived and failed to gather all his strength.

At this time, if these people are defeated, you can take advantage of the opportunity to chase and kill the defeated soldiers on the road behind, and even rush down Gubeikou and open the gate to the south. It is also easy to do.

This is called battlefield experience.

As for the number of people on Wang Xiao’s side, Wanyan Chang didn’t care at all.

In his opinion, Wang Xiao's troops were almost the same as those cannon fodders under his command, and they might not even be as good as those under his command.

First, we used the Mihu to entangle the Southern Army and then sent four elite Jin soldiers from Meng'an to go down in one go. The battle will end in half a day.

"Those Jin soldiers are indeed elite."

Wang Xiao looked at the thousands of golden soldiers who were waiting in the distance and nodded silently.

The Jin people were semi-nova, half-fishing and hunting. They had cavalry, but not all were cavalry.

The attack on the Liao Kingdom captured a large amount of spoils, especially the iron tools.

The Liao Kingdom was known as the country of iron, and its iron quality was not inferior to that of the Song Dynasty. It also produced a lot.

The Jin cavalry of about two thousand people were all one and two horses, with swords, horses, guns, bows and arrows, and men were armed with iron armor and horses hanging on the curtains.

This can already be considered a heavy cavalry.

Most of the remaining Jin soldiers were holding heavy weapons such as bones, giant axes, and iron hammers. They were wearing double or even three layers of heavy armor, and from a distance they looked like the Great Wall of Steel.

Because of the harsh living environment, the soldiers of the Jin soldiers were tall, strong and burly.

With a complete set of iron tools, suitable command and a complete military system. Coupled with the morale of brave war, it is no wonder that it can destroy Liao and pacify Song.

As for those numerous miscellaneous Hus, Wang Xiao directly chose to ignore them.

No one cares about these cannon fodders that go to the battlefield just for the sake of eating.

The war drums rumbled and the sound of the horns sounded.

Some Jin soldiers riding horses ran back and forth in the cannon fodder team, shouting loudly and driving them toward Wang Xiao.

There were about 20,000 people, rolling like waves, and they were indeed very imposing.

The eyes of the generals around him looked at Wang Xiao.

Wang Xiao touched his chin, and the iron gloves hurt a little.

"The armored soldiers remain unmoved, the crossbow soldiers remain unmoved, and the cavalry remain unmoved." In the end, Wang Xiao only sent eight or nine thousand swords, shield soldiers and some archers to come forward to resist the mixed cannon fodder.

There is a reason why cannon fodder is looked down upon.

Their morale is not high, or they simply don’t. They can only fight with the wind. Once they are frustrated, escaping is the first choice.

The role of cannon fodder on the battlefield is to consume arrows, and only restraint.

Wang Xiao's rear team has not arrived yet, and only more than 30,000 people are on the battlefield at this time.

Wanyan Chang in the distance saw the cannon fodders entangled nearly half of the soldiers of the Southern Army, and expressed satisfaction.

As for the remaining more than 10,000 southern soldiers, Wanyan Chang did not take it seriously.

In his opinion, the warriors of his own clan could defeat them with just one charge.

Wanyan Chang, who believed that the cannon fodders had completed their mission, personally led thousands of Jin soldiers of this tribe to fight towards the main formation with a large flag standing opposite him.

The battle with tens of thousands of people participating in the battle is very wide.

The distance was too far before, and there was no telescope yet. Wanyan Chang was not sure about the situation of Wang Xiao's formation.

When he personally led his troops to rumble, he could see clearly what kind of troops he needed to face.

‘Hiss~~~’

After seeing the opposite side clearly, Wanyan Chang, who had fought for many years, felt a little tooth pain.

Everyone on the opposite side was wearing armor, not the kind of leather, but the real iron armor.

At the front are about a thousand iron tower-like soldiers. Behind them are crossbowmen holding heavy crossbows, and on both sides are large cavalrymen.

More than 10,000 people lined up quietly. Even though the cannon fodders shouted and killed the sky not far away, the sound of wind blowing flags was still surging here.

Wanyan Chang looked at it and realized that this was a strong army.

Those who can achieve a strong army without chaos on the battlefield and those who will not be upset by the soldiers will be strong.

But now in this situation, he has no choice.

Either step forward or retreat.

If you go forward, you may even defeat the enemy. If you retreat, the cannon fodders will definitely collapse. At that time, so many cavalry will chase you, and it will inevitably be a big defeat.

Wanyan Chang took a deep breath and placed his hope on the more than 4,000 elites of his clan who were invincible.

I hope that the opposite side is covered with silver-like wax gun tips, and they will be defeated as soon as they come into contact.
