Chapter 1004 Final Battle ([-])
The morning sun was not yet blazing.The fireworks of the summons flew into the sky one after another, drawing a huge encirclement around the advancing army. Wan Yan Zonghan rode on the horse, his eyes changed positions as the fireworks rose, and the wind blew his white hair .He has drawn his sword.

The array of [-] troops marching forward is vast and huge. In terms of quantity, the total of all the Seventh Chinese Army participating in the battle this time will not exceed this scale, not to mention the "encirclement by ten" in the art of war.

But with the rise of these fireworks, the momentum of the attack was already brewing, and the main force of the Huaxia army who rushed to the surroundings scattered did not show any signs of deceit or feint.They are serious - what's even more strange is that even Wanyan Zonghan himself or the generals and soldiers in the army can more or less understand that the other side is serious.

While the fireworks were still rising to the north, the attack began.

The first sound came from the forest in the east, and figures rushed out from there. There were not many figures, and they did not form any formation.There were still fireworks rising among the mountains in the north, and this small group of people seemed to rush forward impatiently. They shouted and narrowed the distance from the Jurchens' front line.

Twenty or thirty people rushed towards the army of 30 people. This behavior seemed strange, but it also tightened the string in everyone's heart.On the front side of the Jurchens, the archers had already set up their arrows and drawn their bows, and the generals in the front had experienced many battles and did not shoot arrows hastily.At this moment, the huge battlefield even seemed a little quiet because of the shouts of dozens of people rushing out of the woods.

A low-pitched trumpet sounded from this "silent" battlefield. The sound of the trumpet was low because the trumpeter was exerting all his energy, but then it swept across the sky, circling, and charged into the high-pitched sky. A black banner juts out from the southeast side of the mountain.

Then came the hills to the north several miles away, and immediately, a figure rushed out from the south.Then came the fifth, sixth, seventh...

The successive attacks are like waves, coming from all directions, but compared to the huge army column of 3 people, the appearance of each group of enemies seems a bit ridiculous. Most of them are a group of dozens of people, but in this For a moment, they appeared in different positions several miles away, but they all showed the courage of breaking the boat.Wanyan Zonghan looked at all that appeared in the distance, and the long sword seemed to make a sound of iron and blood in the wind, and he let out a sigh from his throat: "It's like fighting in the market..."

Yeah, he would have laughed if he had seen such a scene decades ago—or even ten years ago.The battlefield at that time was a majestic battlefield. Tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people fought in formation. The determination to die, then began to attack with a huge array.Such a small group of fighters, put on the battlefield, would not even have the courage to charge, and if they were out of the sight of the general or the supervising team, they would never be found again.

But at the moment in front of him, queues of dozens or hundreds of people appeared from all directions.Black flags everywhere.He wanted to smile to boost morale, but there seemed to be ants crawling behind his head, which prevented him from laughing, because he knew that the other side was not joking.

Every soldier of the Huaxia Army rushing over the mountains and plains is serious!
To the east, on the front line of the Jurchen front line, the leading general has ordered to shoot arrows.Arrows rained into the sky.

The first team to attack from the grove here is a platoon under the jurisdiction of the first company of the second brigade, second regiment and second battalion of the first division of the seventh Chinese army. The company commander Niu Chengshu and the platoon leader Zhao Xingwang, this is a tall man A tall and thin 32-year-old veteran with scars on the corners of his eyes, after days of hard work, there are still 23 people in a platoon under his command.Becoming the first army to rush to the Jurchens, narrowly escaped death, but at the same time, it is also a great honor.

Such a charge is based on great courage, but at the same time it is also based on the confidence in countless comrades in arms.They were the first team to rush towards the Jurchen army, and as they rushed out of the woods, the field of vision spread out, and the rising fireworks were still appearing. On the mountainside not far to the southeast, the second black flag immediately launched an attack, and then, from The low-pitched and high-pitched charge horn sounded, and teams from the north, south, and northeast... all rushed out like them.

Although the opponent is an astonishingly huge Jurchen army, but if they deal with such an enemy, they already know it well, and they also know that their companions around them will definitely give them the greatest support.

The Jurchen front line that 23 of them rushed to has a scale of thousands of people, and the Jurchen general among them is also very experienced. It is embarrassing no matter how the archers on the opposite side choose the formation of skirmishers.

"Attention!"

The 23 people were not running fast, and they all maintained a similar speed. When entering the first spot with large and small rocks, Zhao Xingwang yelled shortly and firmly. He slightly raised his shield, and the surrounding soldiers also raised their shields slightly. , the shouts of killing around have become disturbed as dozens of teams charged, and they entered the best range of archers.

Black arrows flew up like locusts.

"hide--"

Zhao Xingwang pounced on a big rock, raised his shield, and the soldiers under him also chose a place to bend down to avoid it, and then arrows fell one after another, and the sound of swish, swish, bang, bang, bang, bang was heard.The sound of shouting and killing was still spreading around. Zhao Xingwang saw soldiers from the Huaxia Army rushing down on the ridge to the northeast. Behind them, the company commander Niu Chengshu led the soldiers from the other two platoons. .He knew that at this moment, there must be countless companions around the huge battlefield, rushing towards the Jurchen army.

The time of attack without contact has always been peculiar throughout the course of the war.It is quiet and noisy, rolling but silent, as if the hot water in the pot is waiting to boil, and the huge waves in front of the booth are about to hit the shore and explode.

The rain of arrows had already fallen, and Zhao Xingwang didn't have time to ask if anyone was injured. He raised his head and glanced forward from behind the big rock. The first row has already begun to deform, it is a team of about 100 people, and it is about to rush out here.

Zhao Xingwang let out a sigh of relief. At this moment, he already knew that the commander on the opposite side was an experienced Jurchen general.After explosives such as grenades are put into use by the Huaxia Army, unless they rely on camps, city walls, and fortifications for defense during combat, it is most taboo to fight in formation. , will also be taken away. When the second row and the third row rush over, there is basically no need to fight the follow-up battle.

With a superior force of about a hundred people, it is a relatively suitable choice to ignite fire and thunder to hedge.

Zhao Xingwang made a gesture: "Listen to my order—go—"

The comrades held their shields, bent their bodies slightly, and began to rush out from behind the bunkers they were looking for. Their pace began to speed up, and then the centurion of the Golden Army on the opposite side also rushed out. The distance between the two sides was shortened to 35 feet before they could not get out. Zhao Xingwang, who was far away, stopped, and a group of soldiers also stopped immediately: "Grenades are ready—"

"three!"

"two!"

There was a stern light in the eyes of the soldiers: "Chong——"

More than [-] people rushed out with all their strength and merged into the tide of the entire battlefield.

Soldiers' small-scale hedging operations, using grenades, fire mines, etc. to open up the situation have only gradually emerged in the past few years. Methods also began to increase.Facing the small Jurchen troops coming up from the opposite side, this "stop and go" rhythm is a countermeasure that has only been brewed in platoon battles in recent days.The three-second pause at the distance of the upcoming battle is a step that has been discussed for one's own side, but for the Jurchen troops who are rushing forward with all their strength, it is as uncomfortable as a breathlessness.

The charge of the Jurchen Centuries originally tried to maintain the formation as usual, but after this moment, the soldiers' pace suddenly became chaotic, and the line began to deform rapidly during the charge-the skirmishers had to be deformed in the first place, but their own Of course, the choice of people is different from being forced to be scattered.But there is no more room for contingency.

The distance between the two sides narrowed in the whistling, fifteen feet, Zhao Xingwang and others threw grenades at the crowd in front, several grenades crossed the sky and fell, and the fire and thunder from the opposite side also flew one after another.Compared with the wooden handle grenades of the Huaxia Army, the throwing distance of the round fire mines on the opposite side is relatively short and the accuracy is also poor.

There was an explosion in the crowd on the opposite side, some people flew upside down, and some rolled to the ground.Facing the explosion, the soldiers of the Huaxia Army on this side also fell down during the charge, choosing a defensive stance.In fact, the range of fire and thunder falling on the opposite side is extremely wide. The Huaxia Army paused for three seconds before charging, which disrupted the time for the Jurchen soldiers to ignite the fire and thunder.

Black smoke lingered on the battlefield, and the smell of blood filled the air. In the black smoke, there were the hysterical roars of the Jurchen generals, as well as the rolling and crying of the wounded.Zhao Xingwang got up the moment the explosion stopped, glanced to the side, and the figures of his comrades were also struggling, holding steel knives and shaking off the dust on their bodies.

"—Trap—array!"

Soldiers plunged into the smoke and rushed out from the other side.

Expand the collision.

……

All over the battlefield, arrows were rising one after another, and the sound of artillery was also heard.Amidst the rain of arrows and the sound of gunfire, the teams of the Huaxia Army chose to defend or retreat, but more teams took advantage of the gap to rush down, and the periphery of the entire battlefield was like a gradually heating oil pan, boiling and The blasting started to get hot.

At that time, the encirclement operations spread for several miles in three directions had been fully launched, and the offensive units of the Huaxia Army were almost divided into platoon levels. When the general direction was determined, each combat unit had its own response.Of course, there are also some Huaxia Army officers who can only distinguish the timing of advance and retreat, but such a change is not something that the Jurchens' command system can adapt to.

The bombardment of the artillery positions is like a cannon attacking mosquitoes for the skirmishers on the periphery, and the Jurchens did not dare to take a passive defense. As the Huaxia Army's charge unfolded, the Jurchens launched a hedge with a team of hundreds on the periphery, and some of them fought in the previous battle. Among them, the troops that had been defeated almost collapsed at the first touch, and there were also a few teams that blocked the first round of the Huaxia Army's attack.

The chaos began to spread, and at two o'clock, the Huaxia Army's attack was like a series of needles, which began to pierce the periphery of Zong Han's army and extended towards the inside.At this time, Gao Qingyi had gathered a large number of cavalry and started the prelude to counterattack.

The sun was already high in the sky. It was ten o'clock in the morning on April 24, the sixth and last day of the Battle of Hanzhong.Since the start of the battle on the [-]th day, the Seventh Army of China has never avoided any battles. This is the strongest knife that the Huaxia Army has honed for several years. belong to their task.

Wanyan Zonghan originally wanted to launch a decisive battle at the first time, but decades of combat experience made him choose to delay for several days. This kind of struggle is not without reason, but everyone understands that the decisive battle will inevitably happen at a certain moment , So on the day of the 24th, as the Jurchens finally corrected their attitude, the Huaxia Army also corrected its posture, putting all its strength into the frontal battlefield, stud.

On the ensuing battlefield, the Jurchens put up a tenacious resistance...
