Chapter 1005 Final Battle ([-])
At that time, after the decisive battle near Tuanshan started, the Huaxia Army had repelled two rounds of attacks commanded by Wanyan Xiyin on the position south of the ancient city of Hanzhong.Black gunpowder smoke drifted in the wind, and the heat wave from the explosion scorched and dried the air and soil on the battlefield, and human corpses and horse corpses piled up on the battlefield one by one.

Wanyan Xiyin already sensed something was wrong.

At a distance of more than ten miles from Tuanshan to Hanzhong, various small-scale chaos and killings are unfolding one after another. The scouts who set off from Zonghan's main camp to Hanzhong were intercepted and killed on the way. Near the west gate of Hanzhong City, The two companies of the Huaxia Army once again launched a sneak attack on the city gate, which caused a wave of chaos in the morning not long ago, and also made it difficult for the messenger soldiers coming from the west to enter the city easily.

But at this moment, from the hot air balloon rising from the city wall, one could vaguely observe the flames of war and chaos more than ten miles away.

At three o'clock, Wanyan Yuchi came out of Hanzhong City and arrived at the Jurchen barracks in the southeast. When he reported the news from the west to Wanyan Xiyin, the battlefield here was in the intermission between charges. Riding on a war horse, after listening to Wanyan Yuchi's words, it confirmed the doubts in his heart.Then the old man closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

"We set the decisive battle here, and the opponent set the decisive battle at Tuanshan..." He murmured, then opened his eyes and looked forward, "You mobilize three thousand soldiers in the city, Go west out of the city, support the commander-in-chief, and tell the guards in the city, Hanzhong, to give up half of it."

Wanyan Yuchi was stunned for a moment, then, bowed to accept the order, and turned away.

The old man put his hand on the long sword around his waist. At this moment, he fully understood that since the morning, the two rounds of fierce offensives he launched, the soldiers of the Huaxia Army on the opposite position were all pushed back under the condition of insufficient troops.

On such a battlefield, it is not surprising that the opponent repelled a few waves of attacks with a small number of troops when they were stubbornly resisting, but what really struck Xi Yin in his mind was the continuous attacks launched by the Huaxia Army from last night to this morning. In the case of retaining reason, only a small number of troops are left here.

The Seventh Army of China, even if the entire army went to the west to attack Tuanshan, there were only more than 1 people.

Something was beating him in the back of his mind.

This is the clue that he has noticed many years ago, it was something that started to sprout when he first set his sights on the Xiaocang River in the northwest a few years ago.The rebellious army of the Wu Dynasty killed the king and rebelled, and then defeated the Xixia people on Dong Zhiyuan. He vaguely sensed that this was a potential threat, a bad seed sprouting, although under the huge size of the Jin Kingdom, this The seed was too small, but he still sent people over to recruit the other party, and then wiped it out.

Xiao Canghe's tenacity was beyond his expectation.Although he never went to the Northwest in person, he continued to collect information there one after another. In the combat experience he accumulated throughout his life, many things displayed by Xiao Canghe made him feel puzzled.

That army should have collapsed long ago.

The Jurchens were also a team that emerged from extreme adversity, but even if they replaced the team led by A Guda, Xiao Canghe was confusing. What's more, the two armies had completely different appearances.

Since the end of the Xiaocanghe Three-Year War, the sacrifices of Lou Shi and Ci Bushi awakened Zong Han and many others. Together with Xi Yin, they made the Southwest the focus of attention, so this time the Southern Expedition took place.At this time, they were all experienced veterans. Some of them might only accumulate experience on the battlefield, while others were familiar with history books and the art of war.However, the appearance displayed by the Southwest Huaxia Army does not exist in any history books or records of the art of war.

The disastrous defeat in the Southwest has broadened their cognition every time, and when the decisive battle with the Seventh Army of China begins, he can vaguely feel that the complete state of certain things has been revealed in front of him.

Over the past few days, this feeling has hit him more and more heavily in his mind, reminding him that what he and Zong Han are facing is different from any situation in the past—from the first time they When knocking on the gate of the Wu Dynasty, the people of the Wu Dynasty may have faced similar surprises in their hearts, but the Beiren who were good at fighting are recorded in many history books.Only this time, what he and Zong Han are facing is probably something that has never been seen in history books.

This kind of subconsciousness, the appearance of disobedience, is beating his head "dong dong dong".The opponent should have collapsed a long time ago, but no, the opponent shouldn't have fought like this, but the situation has arisen, and he can't predict the consequences of his battle.

But other than a decisive battle, there is nothing to think about.

He is old.

People always learn when they are young, experience when they are young, and when they reach middle age, a wise man will roughly see everything in the world. Even those who have never experienced it, most of them can draw inferences from one instance, just like the book of investigating things that emerged in the hands of Ning Yi in Southwest China. Learning, even though many new things are emerging, he always understands the basic principles, which are not incomprehensible.

But at this moment, a dark outline seemed to have risen from the bottom of the sea.

dong dong dong-

He could vaguely hear such a voice.

But apart from the decisive battle, he had no other choice.

If he can break through the Huaxia army position at the South Gate of Hanzhong as soon as possible, he will be able to decisively intervene in the battle situation in Tuanshan.

Letting Wanyan Yuchi lead the elite soldiers in Hanzhong City to leave is to give the Black Banner Army outside the South Gate a retreat. They are not many in number. When the position here cannot support them and they enter Hanzhong City, Xi Yin can go straight to Tuanshan .

He has already done what he can do in terms of military tactics and logistics.

Not long after, outside the south gate of Hanzhong City, another wave of attacks began. The most violent charge came in a row, with shells flying and smoke covering the sky.

Chen Hai went up to meet him.

dong dong dong-

The outline of the new era is knocking on the door of people's minds.

Wanyan Xiyin attacked with all his strength.

……

In Tuanshan, Wanyan Zonghan in the battle formation also saw clearly what the Chinese Seventh Army looked like when it really launched an attack.

The huge attack was like mercury pouring down the ground, stripping away the periphery of the Jurchen army, the fighting spread, and a large number of soldiers of the Golden Army fled all over the mountains and plains - Zong Han observed all this silently, although he had guessed many things before, but so It was really the first time he had witnessed a large-scale straggler charge.

In the face of the Huaxia Army's charge, fighting in formation has completely lost its effect.Facing dozens of people rushing towards the battle formation of thousands of people, the power of the arrows is reduced to the minimum, and when the opponent rushes close, you can only organize a team to charge - if you want to wait for work Standing in place, dozens of people on the opposite side threw Huolei and turned around and ran away. I would lose a lot of money on my side.

Can only charge forward.

However, if you attack with a formation of hundreds, the team may lose command after one battle. Soldiers who are not surrounded by the formation will try to find a place to hide or choose to escape after the formation collapses. Soldiers who do not want to flee will often gather to If they are in a group, they will become the target of fire and thunder, and they are often unable to deal with the counterattack of the Huaxia Army.This kind of Jurchen troops who have lost their formation can't even retreat. A retreat without formation will lead to a large-scale rout.

Such a situation will not occur in this Chinese army, this is the most basic gap.In the early stage of the battle, one hundred teams of one's own side were thrown out, some were defeated head-on in the face of only more than twenty people, and some encountered attacks from both sides when facing the oncoming Huaxia army. The Centurion quickly collapsed.

It's not that the Jurchens are not psychologically prepared for skirmishing. They have already encountered a similar situation in the southwest.But by this time, facing the fast and efficient small-scale charge of the Huaxia Army, his side was already several levels behind.

The charge of dozens or even hundreds of points merged into a mighty wave, but Zong Han could tell that the opponent dispatched only thousands of troops.My own side can throw out several times the strength of the opponent, but the response to each point is not as flexible as the opponent.

Of course he didn't sit still. At two o'clock, as the surrounding battle situation began to become chaotic, Wanyan Saba led two thousand cavalry to rush out from the north, trying to sweep the entire battlefield. A reserve team of thousands of people surged forward on each side, invading the Jurchen main formation.

The [-] cavalry of Saba severely curbed and attacked the Huaxia Army's attack. Although a large number of Huaxia Army troops gathered nearby and responded with fire, thunder and spears, several troops were still overwhelmed by the cavalry. The exchange ratio above is close to one-for-one.

In the past, this was a ridiculous number. On the battlefield facing the Wu Dynasty or even the Liao people, the Jurchen [-] iron cavalry can often determine the outcome of a war. Often when facing a large-scale formation of infantry, They will choose to avoid it, but as long as the infantry formation is out of order, their impact is enough to destroy an army formation of tens of thousands.But at this moment, facing the dispersed Huaxia Army, the one-for-one exchange ratio turned out to be the only trump card.

At noon, the cavalry's attack was contained, and Wanyan Saba led his troops back. Part of the Huaxia Army's troops tore through the outer Jurchen troops layer by layer like peeling onions, and approached the 8000-man core of the Golden Army's main formation. The fighting became more intense, and some Huaxia Army troops temporarily stopped, or began to support their companions on the side.

The front of the soldiers was mighty, bursts of explosions, and the smell of death wafted in the wind. On the right side of the field of vision, the Huaxia Army launched a scramble for an artillery position of the Jurchen on the hill, and a team of personal soldiers was ordered to support it. , in front of the field of vision, the black flags are gradually converging into a surging river, and among the mountains on the left, the figures of broken soldiers flock to the mountains one by one.Zong Han stood under his handsome banner and remained motionless, only occasionally talking to Han Qixian who was beside him.

"Dozens of people can form a formation, and they can adapt after being dispersed...how did they do it..."

"I heard they even made every soldier read and write..."

"The art of war is mostly useless so far..."

Since thousands of years ago, due to the various characteristics of the army, various military tactics have been born.Thousands of people walking on the battlefield are difficult to coordinate, so it is necessary to plan the pace with the beat of drums; when countless soldiers are in formation, one crowding another, even if some people are timid and want to escape, they cannot move at all; a few people can accept a Then follow the order as much as possible, and then you can become an officer. More soldiers are just carried away by the army. If thousands of people can move in one direction without chaos, it is often the key to the art of war.

Thousands of you are clumsy, but my movements are a little smoother, and I can go around to your side, making it too late for you to react, and causing chaos—only the soldiers with the most sense of belonging can leave the battle without chaos and chaos. If they escape and don't be lazy, they can become scouts. In many cases, scouts also determine the key to victory or defeat on the battlefield.

And the Huaxia Army threw tens of thousands of people all over the mountains and plains.

They don't need drumbeats, they don't need to form a team, and they don't need to coerce... The military tactics of the past are useless from now on. Zong Han knows that everything he has accumulated over the past few decades has come to nothing here.

This is not the victory or defeat in the confrontation of the art of war.

——This is just the head-on crushing of elite troops.

Even Tu Shanwei, who used to be called number one in the world, is no longer comparable to the Seventh Army of China in front of him.

He can know what people like Ning Yi and Qin Shaoqian have done, but he just can't figure out how the other party did it.

"Where is the enterprise..."

At a certain moment, he spoke dryly in his throat, and then paused for a long time, because the sound of the battlefield came from the wind.Han Qi first folded his hands and waited, and after a while, he said, "Commander, maybe it's time to break through." What he saw clearly, the many Jurchen generals, in these days, why not see clearly.

Zong Han shook his head, the Huaxia Army shouted in the surrounding wind, and the voice of the shout was vaguely: "Kill Nianhan——"

What rang out in his mind was the scene of more than ten years ago. That was the first time the Kingdom of Jin went southward. They knocked on the gate of Yanmen Pass and marched southward in a destructive way. The Han people made weak resistance. The resisters were killed and their corpses hung over the walls.When the army advanced to Xinzhou, there was a group of assassins who stabbed him in front of him for the first time and almost the only time.

It was in a gymnasium in Xinzhou. The leader was a white-haired old man of Han nationality. He brandished a big gun and rushed in with dozens of Han knights, killing blood rolling in the crowd surrounded by the army.The old man's spear stabbed in front of his eyes for a while, and the assassination was almost successful, but in the end, these people were drowned in the siege of the army.

"Kill Nianhan—" that's what the Han people shouted at that time.

Many years later, perhaps many people shouted like this, but Zong Han never heard it.At this moment, the voice came from afar again, as if after more than ten years, it rushed to the front again.Zong Han raised his head, his eyes were burning with flames.

"Qi Xian... look..."

He pointed in the direction of the east.

"That's Qin Shaoqian."

At this moment, the Jurchen army still has the numerical advantage.For decades, the old man has never been a weak sheep, most of the time he has been used to being a lion, but even at the moment of disadvantage, he never let go of any opportunity.

At the end of noon, the giant beast moved.

……

"Good boy! Follow me to the battle—"

In the main formation of the Jin army, Wanyan Saba followed the old man to draw his sword and roared up.

……

In the three directions of front, middle and back, the teams of the Huaxia Army came surging one by one.

Company Commander Niu Chengshu brandished a long knife, covered in blood, and rushed forward.

"Kill Nianhan—"

……

The shouts merged into a raging tide, each smashing together with an indomitable momentum——
