Wild Fox Ridge, a place that once made history tremble

Wild Fox Ridge, a place that once made history tremble, witnessed the intersection of the destinies of the Mongols and the Jin Dynasty. Genghis Khan, the eagle of the grassland, in order to avenge the world, led a hundred thousand strong soldiers, and confronted the elite troops of the Jin Dynasty - Wan Yan Chengyu's 450,000 army at Wild Fox Ridge. Wan Yan Chengyu, a Jin hero, sat in the middle army, arranged his troops to bully the few with more, and wanted to gradually eat away at his opponent. However, he never expected that he would encounter a more brave opponent. The two armies confronted each other, and the wisdom and bravery of the commander became the key to determining the victory or defeat. Genghis Khan, with unique insight, concentrated his superior forces to attack Wan Yan Chengyu's middle army. This bold decision determined the defeat of the Jin army. A hundred thousand Mongolian iron riders defeated 450,000 elite Jin. The Battle of Wild Fox Ridge, the elite of the Jin Dynasty were lost, and the Wan Yan family that once destroyed the Northern Song Dynasty lost their combat power in just a few decades. Although the Jin Dynasty's military, population, and economy were all stronger than the Mongols, the wheel of history ruthlessly rolled over. The Jurchens were completely sinicized, and the blood of the golden horses and iron horses and Wan Yan Aguda disappeared. The Battle of Wild Fox Ridge sounded the death knell for the Jin Dynasty!
