Chapter 999 Chapter [-] Armageddon ([-])
In April of the first year of Wu Zhenxing, in the early summer of No. 13 years since Ning Yi killed the king in a fit of anger and unfurled the Chinese banner, many common senses in this world are being violently overturned.

The fourth southern expedition of the Jin Kingdom, which lasted for nearly two years, has come to an end. During this period, the seemingly marginalized Southwest Campaign that has attracted the attention of countless people in the entire world is about to come to an end.The Wu Dynasty fell and collapsed in the attack of the Jin State East Route Army, and the tragedy of almost the whole world kneeling to the Jin people was painful, but it did not surprise many people.

During the entire Jinwu War, the Wu Dynasty had stupid behaviors and tragic resistance, but no matter before or after the war, people clearly knew that in this war, Wu Dynasty was the real weak.The failure of the weak is sighing and heart-wrenching, but most people in the world have at least once thought of such a scene once or twice.

For the black flag in the southwest, people have been unwilling to look at it for a long time. People in the Wu Dynasty had a more or less biased impression of it. Among them, there are only a few hundred thousand people, and it is difficult to give an extremely high evaluation—and the upper limit of this "extremely high" is at most equal to that of the Wu Dynasty.

Even in the Golden Kingdom, the vast majority of the population did not take the threat of the so-called "black flag" very seriously.Although the war that took place in the northwest once caused Jin Guo to lose two generals, it ended with Jin Guo's victory and the massacre of the northwest after all.Only Zonghan, Xi Yin and other senior officials of the Jin Kingdom who really saw the threat of the black flag, and their thinking also stayed on "it's not too late".After the fourth southern expedition, the East Route Army mainly attacked the Wu Dynasty, and the West Route Army focused on the southwest. worried.

Zongfu Zongbi's expedition to Nanwu may still fail and return without success, but the target of the West Route Army - the group of military bandits hiding in the mountains - is basically impossible to escape. of.

People watched the mighty Jinwu confrontation, watched the process of Nanwu disintegration and destruction, and most of them held a relatively comfortable mentality for the advancement of the West Route Army.If the war process of the Wu Dynasty can support a wonderful game, the development of the war in the southwest can only be a game of time for a long time: when will Zonghan defeat Zizhou and when will he be defeated? Chengdu, when will the so-called Chinese Fifth Army be defeated, when will it triumphantly return to the DPRK... By the beginning of this year, such a bet may be adjusted, but in the general direction, there is still not much change.

Until the inner demon in the southwest turned over the cards in his hand one by one like a master of juggling.

No one expected that there would be such a huge force hidden in that remote corner, where there were only a mere 10 Black Banner Army for a long time.In the second half of last year, when the West Route Army entered the Jiange, the cards in the demon's hands were only calmly and slowly turned over one by one. The West Route Army led by Zong Han only thought that they were facing a small pond that kept deepening. .

But this year, especially since February, the cards in Heart Demon's hands have become more intense, even more intense one by one.The small pond shook, and the ground fire was accumulating. Zong Han and the others, who had already penetrated into it, saw what seemed like a surging magma rushing towards them. Those who were preparing to fight against the small pond faced the eruption of the volcano.

From the Wangyuan Bridge in February to March, all common sense was broken in front of our eyes. People thought that the black flag was just an unruly rebel within the Wu Dynasty—like Fang La, like Tian Hu, at most The more powerful and extreme Fang La and Tian Hu—but unexpectedly, at this moment, the black flag showed a terrifying power that surpassed the rise of the Jurchen and was "invincible".

The most terrifying thing is that such power has not yet bottomed out.If it is said that the firearms that appeared in the southwest in February and March were a temporary breakthrough based on Qi Qiao’s prostitution skills, and in April Zonghan pinned his last hope in the decisive battle of Hanzhong, people were shocked to see the amazing power that even surpassed the power of Ki Qiao’s prostitution skills. one scene.

April 2th, in the records and summaries of later generations, this is the moment when the modern military system and military beliefs truly revealed the terrifying power. The Jurchen troops, which still maintained the pinnacle of this era in terms of individual quality, were almost smashed to the ground when they were caught off guard.This is the performance of the 9 Huaxia Army facing the [-] Jin Army.

Astonishing fighting will, excellent battlefield coordination, and super high organization, reflected in the field battle, is almost a comparison of combat power like a steel knife cutting tofu.On the afternoon of April [-], the vanguard troops led by Purcha seemed to have encountered a huge grinding wheel, and they were irresistibly defeated in an unexpected large-scale beheading tactic.

Before the battle, in this era, they were also a tenacious army of steel, but the steel was crushed abruptly, and Wanyan Saba who came after seemed to be able to hear the crisp smashing sound.

Fierce fighting continued that night.

For many years in later generations, the evaluations of the Jin people in this Hanzhong war often tended to go in two directions.

One believes that the Jurchen army at this time is already on the decline, especially after the defeat in the southwest, the military morale of its army has collapsed in a mess, so the combat effectiveness of the Huaxia Seventh Army should be discounted. Measured, in Qin Shaoqian's words at the time, it was probably a cold meal left over from the Fifth Army.

Another view is that, compared with the peak combat power based on the modern military system shown by the Huaxia Army here, Jin Bing, under the leadership of Zong Han and others, also promoted the peak of the feudal army within a certain period of time. Strength, this is the proud remnant of the Jurchen army for more than [-] years in the world. After experiencing the defeat in the southwest, with the difficult march of the road to return to the north, the second setback of the battle of Hanzhong finally inspired a certain desire to be a soldier. ——When fleeing in the southwest, the awareness of the underdogs probably only existed in the hearts of a small number of middle and high-level aristocrats, such as Tu Lisu and other high-level generals. When they arrived at Hanzhong, the middle and lower levels gradually felt that they might not be able to return. That kind of fear.

Such thoughts of underdogs inspired their combat power to a certain extent.Among the high-level army, the performance of several generals is actually very bright, it even seems like they are burning their own light.Among them, Wanyan Saba, for example, chose to consolidate the position and retreat as soon as possible after the rescue of Pucha was unsuccessful, and in the desperate raid led by the cavalry the next day, it once caused a lot of trouble to the Huaxia Army.

Perhaps the most powerful response was Wanyan Zonghan's response that night.Not long after receiving the news from Saba Ming's personal guard, the Jurchen veteran who had fought in the world for more than [-] years silently mobilized the army and prepared to defend against night attacks and even set up an ambush to counterattack. It was Gao Qingyi who confronted the Second Division of the Huaxia Seventh Army more than ten miles away. The fighting was fierce, and there were even fires in the mountains, but it was later proved that it was a false move of the Huaxia Army.

Qin Shaoqian led the main force of the Second Division, detouring along the mountain road for dozens of miles this night, and launched an attack on Zonghan's camp in the early morning of April [-]th when people were most tired and lethargic. Zonghan's response that night was like a wild beast. as accurate.He himself stayed up all night, and also made the soldiers in the barracks ready to fight, the Huaxia Army attacked, and then fell into a trap.This is the most beautiful scene for Jin Bing in the Hanzhong War.

However, the military quality of the Huaxia Army is also extremely amazing. A company in charge of the front attack first noticed something wrong and began to divide troops for reconnaissance, which made the ambush of the Jinbing unable to surround the Huaxia Army brigade.In the first quarter of an hour after the battle, the Huaxia Army's forward was at a disadvantage due to artillery and fire attacks, but then launched a tenacious resistance and breakthrough.

In the ensuing battle, both sides showed astonishing fighting will.Zong Han and Han Qixian went to the front line to supervise the battle one after another. When they found the enemy leader, some of the Huaxia Army companies and classes that were half-encircled even launched a surprise attack on the core of the opponent.It took a certain amount of sacrifice, but it didn't pay off.As the Huaxia Army retreated, the Jinbing pursued aggressively. Soon after, they encountered a countercharge from the Huaxia Army. Thousands of Jin Army were defeated in the night.

Compared with the previous losses of the Huaxia Army after falling into an ambush, the subsequent battle caused more casualties to the Jinbing. Zong Han already understood the horror of this Huaxia Army's combat power, and since then he has built a heavy defense.

This night's battle also seems to confirm Ning Yi's previous statement. Although the Huaxia Army already has amazing fighting qualities, and it has also gathered the wisdom of everyone through the staff, but in the field command and tactical application of the war, compared to vertical and horizontal fighting The generals of Jin Guo, who have survived after countless trials for decades, are still inferior.Pang Lu'an lost Huangming County, for this reason, Qin Shaoqian's sneak attack that night failed, and that's why.

However, General Jin is good at tactics, while the director of Huaxia Army is good at strategy.Ning Yi is good at planning, modern army discipline coupled with cruel training, the quality of the Seventh Army that has been built is enough to smooth out some tactical flaws.Even if 1000 people surround 500 people, the 500 people only need to defeat the 1000 people in turn.

After the night, Qin Shaoqian separated half of his troops and headed north, and cooperated with the first division to attack Yan Saba. Saba managed to stabilize his position, trying to take advantage of the artillery to drag the situation into the positional defense battle of the large army. .At the same time, Gao Qingyi and Zong Han went north, and Qin Shaoqian led the troops to attack the middle.Zong Han mobilized a large number of middle and low-level generals, and launched round after round of fighting with the Huaxia army with a fierce and long offensive.

Zong Han did not choose to retreat before the astonishing combat power that the Huaxia Army has shown. At this time, retreat is the real dead end.Even though the Chinese Seventh Army's combat power is already extremely strong, the total number is only 2. This Jurchen veteran knows that the only way out is to grit his teeth and fight against consumption.

He, Han Qixian, Gao Qingyi, etc. did their best to maintain the organization of the army, made small-scale cuts of the relatively large army, and launched continuous and frequent attacks on the Huaxia Army round by round. In local battles, there have been more losses than wins, but as long as there is no large-scale decisive battle such as guarding the step and reaching the hill, Zong Han has decided that even with the advantage of the number of people, the Huaxia army will be consumed to death.

Within a radius of a hundred miles, the two armies intertwined chaotically. The two sides competed one by one, one hilltop after another. Thick and responsive.Whenever one of its troops is defeated, it is convenient for the other party to mobilize two troops to come over, and after defeating two, there must be two troops waiting to fight behind them... The Jurchen's fighting style has always been rough, and it has been nothing but a wave of encouragement for 40 years The wave charge solved most of the enemies in this world.But after 40 years of controlling the army, Wanyan Zonghan had to face another test. No one expected him to deal with this test in such a way.

The army of tens of thousands of people was almost cut into units of about a hundred people by him. Zong Han threw these troops everywhere like a game of chess. Some troops were given death orders, while others were relatively flexible. A Meng An and Moke received relatively specific instructions in front of him.There is an inherent delay in the transmission of information on the battlefield, but Zong Han and others rely on years of battlefield experience and the reactions of other middle and high-level generals to predict the trend of the battlefield.

Part of the arrangement fell through, but the general direction of the battle was almost predicted by the old man in advance. In several high-intensity combat areas, the Jurchen reinforcements were continuous, which made the Huaxia Army feel tired for a while.

According to records a few years later, in the days when the decisive battle of Hanzhong began, soldiers in the Jurchen Army proved that Wanyan Zonghan "had not slept for three days, his eyes were red, and his beard and hair were all white." , consumes himself to the extreme.

After the initial sneak attack failed, the Huaxia Army changed to a more disciplined and calmer combat mode. Although the intensity of the battle was extremely high, and the attacks, battles, divisions, and transfers were extremely frequent, the staff's planning Not flustered, the 2 people maintained mutual response and integrity in the general direction, and every attack was aimed at defeating the opponent at the lowest cost—since Wanyan Zonghan had shown a cautious response, he could not directly stab the king When there is an opportunity to kill, the Huaxia Army will simply turn into countless small mouths, and through one partial victory after another, they will force the opponent to a mental breakdown.

Near Hanzhong, more than a million "Han troops"—or just their leaders—watched this frenzied and fierce battle with bated breath.But news changes even faster than their perception of reality.From April 23th to the morning of the [-]rd, people watching from the outside world still couldn't see clearly how the flames of war in the west of Hanzhong were burning.At best, we can only know that the veteran generals of the Jin people are trying their best to burn themselves, trying to burn the terrifying enemy in front of them, and the attack of the Huaxia army is like a heavy hammer being dropped again and again, trying to put the fire of the Jin country to death. Burning out, the fight between the two has exceeded common sense in the past...

At noon on the same day, a battalion of the Huaxia Seventh Army disguised itself as a broken Jurchen army and seized the South Gate of Hanzhong. In the afternoon, the focus of the two armies' contention shifted to here.The war that was originally entangled in the west of Hanzhong seemed to suddenly spread, and suddenly, the entire Hanzhong was turned into a sea of ​​fire——
