The afternoon wind blew up the fallen leaves in the mountains, and the whimpering sound was like singing an elegy.
Even many years later, Wanyan Yuchi could still remember the sound of the wind blowing outside Hanzhong City that afternoon.
Following Wanyan Xiyin for many years, he grew up with the prosperity of the Jurchens, witnessed and participated in countless victories and cheers. In the middle period of the rise of the Jin Kingdom, even if he encountered occasional difficulties and setbacks on the battlefield, he could always see him
The pride and unyieldingness contained in the bones of the Jin** Army, and the troops who followed Aguda to fight out of Chuhedian, have already engraved their pride in the deepest part of their hearts.
There are less than ten thousand Jurchens, and they are invincible if they are full of ten thousand.
It was also because of this that in the afternoon, he saw a scene he had never seen before for the first time.
The closer we get to the Tuanshan battlefield, the more Jin soldiers are disintegrating in our field of vision, including Liaodong people, Khitan people, Xi people... and even Jurchens, dispersing in twos and threes like the tide.
The troops without officers gathered at will. The wounded soldiers supported each other and headed towards Hanzhong. There were also stragglers who had lost their organization and were alone. They walked away casually with their weapons. They were like frightened birds when they saw anyone. Wanyan Yuchi
Tried to win them over, but due to time constraints, he couldn't spend too much time on this matter.
Some soldiers joined his team and continued towards Tuan Mountain.
Wanyan Yuchi asked about the situation on the Tuanshan battlefield, and also asked about the units to which these soldiers belonged and their past experiences. First, they were the units with weaker combat strength compared to the outer periphery, but soon after, members of various units appeared. When Tushan Guards
When the core members of the team described the situation on the battlefield to him, Wanyan Yuchi noticed that the tall Tushan Guards soldier in front of him was fearful while describing.
"Those people from the Black Flag Army... they don't risk their lives... If you encounter them on the battlefield, remember not to charge head-on... They cooperate very well, and... even if there are three or five people, they will come over without their lives...
…They specialize in killing the leader. Our team’s Puchan (the team leader) and Tarai Zuopu were besieged and killed by three Black Flag members..."
"Zuobo?" Wanyan Yuchi asked. The Tushan Guards were all elites in the army, and most of the officers were Jurchens. Wanyan Yuchi knew many of them. This Puchan named Tarlai Zuobo was very brave in the battlefield.
, and has a bold personality, Wanyan Yuchi has long been impressed by him.
"Yeah." The soldier nodded, and then continued to talk about his impression of the Chinese army on the battlefield.
Over the years, the Tushan Guards have made brilliant achievements, and most of the soldiers among them are elites. After the soldier was defeated and routed, he was able to summarize this impression and was able to serve as an officer in the ordinary army. But although he wanted to suppress the content of his narration as calmly as possible
After all, there is still a huge sense of frustration.
Combined with the narration of some of the gathered Tushan Guards' defeated troops, a cruel outline of reality quickly formed in his mind. The first time the outline was formed, he was unwilling to believe it.
The elite Tushan Guards led by Commander Zong Han were defeated by the Chinese army on the frontal battlefield.
Nearly 100,000 people in Hanzhong, led by the commander-in-chief, have experienced many small-scale battles and victories in the past five days. Although there have been many losses, since large-scale operations have not yet begun, the most important ones are
Most of the most elite Jin soldiers are still waiting expectantly for a large-scale battle to occur.
Xi Yin led his troops to reinforce Hanzhong and established a decisive battle posture, which boosted the morale of the army and enabled the Tushan Guard soldiers here to launch another offensive against the Chinese army. However, the battle that took place in Tuanshan half a day ago,
Finally, the illusions of these Jurchen warriors were defeated head-on. The contrast between victory and defeat on the battlefield was so strong and clear that these Jurchen warriors directly felt the crushing power.
A large-scale charge cannot form a force, and the formation becomes a target, and they have to be divided into fine sand-like walks to fight; but with the cooperation in small-scale battles, the Chinese army is better than itself; when they engage in beheading operations against each other, the other side is basically unaffected.
; The various tactics in the past were unable to work. The entire battlefield was like a gang fight. The Chinese army forced the Jurchen troops to be at a loss what to do...
In the past, it was just a vague and lucky nightmare. On this day, it finally came to light on the Tuanshan battlefield. The Tushan Guards struggled hard. Some Jurchen warriors launched repeated charges against the Chinese army, but the generals above them
After the death, such a charge is just a futile fight back. The strength of the Chinese army only looks scattered, but within a certain range, large and small organizations and coordination can always be formed. The Jurchen troops who fall in will only be mercilessly strangled.
.
If we recall it in the future, Wanyan Yuchi at that time had not yet been able to fully digest all this. The troops he led had already entered the inner circle of the Tuanshan Battle. At this time, he had 3,000 people under his command who had gathered from Hanzhong, among whom there were also
More than half of them were soldiers who had been defeated or transferred to the battlefield near Hanzhong in the past few days. As he gathered the defeated troops along the way, the morale of these soldiers had actually begun to dissipate.
Time did not allow him to think too much. The moment he arrived at the battlefield, the battle in the hills in the distance had already heated up. Marshal Zong Han was leading his troops to where Qin Shaoqian was. Sa Ba's cavalry outflanked Qin Shaoqian's army.
Rear route. Wanyan Yuchi was not mediocre. He arranged the military law team at the first opportunity, and then ordered the rest of the troops to charge towards the battlefield, with the cavalry following on the side, ready to go.
Those three thousand people were greeted head-on by a battalion of the nearby Chinese Army. They quickly organized a defense on the hilltop and blocked the way with three cannons. Wanyan Yuchi ordered his troops to rush up and flatten the hilltop.
Before the battle fully entered, chaos began to appear in the distance.
In the fifteenth year of Tianhui, at 15:00 on the afternoon of April 24, Zong Han ordered a breakout on the Tuanshan battlefield. Before that, he had already devoted his entire army to the confrontation with Qin Shaoqian. During the fiercest battle,
At the moment, even he and the personal guards around him were already engaged in fighting with the Chinese soldiers. His troops kept getting closer, but with every step forward, more and more of this beast was flowing out.
The blood, the fighting at the core of the battlefield was like the Jurchen Army God burning his own soul. At least at that moment, everyone thought that he would carry out this all-or-nothing battle to the end, and that he would shed every last drop of blood.
Either kill Qin Shaoqian, or be killed by Qin Shaoqian.
But Zong Han finally chose to break through.
Wanyan Yuchi witnessed the moment when this huge chaos began. This may also be the moment when the entire Jin Kingdom began to collapse. On the battlefield, the flames were still burning. Wanyan Saba gave the order to charge, and the cavalry under his command began to stop.
, turned around and began to collide towards the Chinese army's position. This fierce collision was to give Zong Han an opportunity to evacuate. Soon after, several troops that seemed to still have combat effectiveness began to disintegrate in the fighting.
Wanyan Yuchi waved his arms. At this moment, he led thousands of cavalry and began to rush through the blockade, trying to open a way for Wanyan Zonghan.
Soon after, various shouts sounded on the battlefield. The Chinese army shouted: "The Golden Dog has been defeated."
"Nianhan wants to escape"
"Kill Nianhan"
Amidst the sound of the charge, red-red messenger fireworks were rising on the battlefield. They were signals symbolizing victory and pursuit, and they were constantly pointing in the direction of Wanyan Zonghan in the sky.
…
Red fireworks rose, like extended, burning traces of blood.
In Qingyangyi, a few miles away from Tuanshan Mountain, the soldiers who had previously fought against Wanyan Yuchi began to assemble after seeing the red fireworks in the distance. In their field of vision, fireworks continued to spread in the sky.
Two miles away, on the bank of a small river, three Chinese soldiers in wet clothes who were walking by the river saw the red order in the sky in the distance. They were stunned for a moment and then talked to each other. They were excitedly walking by the river.
After jumping a few times, two soldiers jumped into the river first. A soldier in the rear found a piece of wood with some embarrassment, held it in the water and swam towards the other side with difficulty...
Under the sky, teams one after another are gathering towards this side.
A few miles away from the Tuanshan battlefield, Wanyan Sheye, who had been traveling through the wind and rain, was leading thousands of troops and was rushing here quickly. He saw the blood-red color in the sky and began to lead his bodyguards on their way frantically.
.
…
With the cavalry leading the way, the Jurchen troops' breakout was like a storm. They were rushing out of the Tuanshan battlefield. The Chinese army's attacks surged forward. One after another, the rout of the Jin army was taking shape. However, after all, due to the small number of Chinese troops,
It was difficult to intercept the core of the defeated army for a while.
Qin Shaoqian rode his horse and rushed up the hillside. He looked at the small groups of Chinese army troops coming from all directions and pounced on Wanyan Zonghan who broke out, with a complicated expression.
"If I have a chance, I'd really like to ask Zong Han what he's thinking."
Judging from the deployment of troops and the intensity of the attack in the early stage, there is no doubt that Wanyan Zonghan is determined to kill himself at all costs. If he takes another step forward, the entire battlefield will burn to the end in the fiercest confrontation. However, just when Zonghan will kill himself
The next moment he joined the attacking team, he suddenly chose to break through as if he had a great enlightenment.
Gamblers at the gambling table usually don't choose to give up at this time, because it is too late. As a general on the battlefield, he has invested everything, so this sudden giving up seems a bit early and embarrassing. To be fair, at that moment
Even Qin Shaoqian had already believed that Zong Han's purpose was to fight to the death. Therefore, there was some surprise on his sudden breakout.
But it was just an accident.
Thousands of Chinese troops were gathering here under the orders of the fireworks, launching wave after wave of interceptions and killings against the fleeing Jin army. On the battlefield, there were Jurchen generals who couldn't bear to see this scene of defeat.
Still leading the troops, he launched a desperate attack in the direction of Qin Shaoqian. Some soldiers captured the horses and began to assemble under orders, passing through the hills and plains towards Hanzhong.
"Stop Nianhan! Capture him! Kill him!"
Qin Shaoqian issued orders and moved forward. Under the afternoon sun, there was a calm wind in the field, explosions rang out, and there was a whistling sound in his ears. In the past few decades, the strongest Jurchens were fleeing with their troops. In this era
While talking to him, he remembered that evening many years ago, when he led his team on an expedition and was prepared to die on the battlefield and be shrouded in horse leather. He and Li Heng sat under the sunset. It was the sunset of the Wu Dynasty, and his father was dead.
He is now the right prime minister, his elder brother is the prefect, and everything in Bianliang is prosperous and magnificent.
He was willing to pay his life for all this.
"Wu Chao is in debt..." He remembered Ning Yi's words at that time.
He asked: "How many lives can be filled?"
The wind blew away the wealth and wealth, and the grandeur collapsed into ruins. My brother died, my father died, he killed the emperor, and he lost his eyes. They walked through the hardships of Xiaocang River, the fighting in the northwest, and countless people cried out in sorrow,
The elder brother's wife was tortured in the Kingdom of Jin for more than ten years. During those more than ten years, the little child was even treated like an animal and his fingers were chopped off.
How many lives can be filled?
"The golden dog lost"
"Kill Nianhan!!!"
He led his army to attack.
…
Fireworks rose like blood, and the news that Nianhan was defeated and fled surprised and horrified many people. For most Chinese army soldiers, it was not a predetermined result.
The fighting in the past few days has been equally fierce. The team battle is not necessarily a decisive battle as expected. If Zong Han chooses to break out and transfer in, the Chinese army is also ready to fight all the way to Hanzhong, and then use Hanzhong City as a
Psychological preparation for the next round of battlefield.
People are anticipating victory, but at the same time, if victory does not come so easily, the Chinese Seventh Army is also ready to bite Zong Han until he fights to the death. Don't even think about going back until I'm done!
In the current battle, such extremely tragic psychological expectations are necessary. Although the Chinese Seventh Army has gone through several years of training with hatred, the Jurchens have rarely suffered defeat before. If they just hold a kind of optimism,
If you fight with the mentality of fighting without breaking the boat, then on such a battlefield, the loser may be the Seventh Army.
For this reason, as the fireworks rose, the messengers rushed all the way to Hanzhong, forcing Nianhan to flee. When the order came from all the teams along the way to intercept and kill, many people felt a huge surprise like a dream.
.
Liu Muchia was even slightly dazed because of this. Many things flashed through his mind at this moment. Then, under the leadership of the squad leader, they rushed towards the predetermined defense route.
The scouts were still in the mountains, and fighting continued in the wilderness. The defeated troops led by Nianhan moved forward, and some of the soldiers who had already been routed also gathered together. This army was like a storm passing through the wilderness, sometimes stopping for a moment, sometimes detouring.
After opening the road, groups of Chinese army troops gathered nearby and rushed over. The cavalry was constantly entangled while running.
The look of the sun showed that it was still afternoon in front of him. In the fields of Hanzhong, Zong Han knew that the sunset was coming.
He commanded the army to flee all the way, escaping from the direction where the sun was setting. Sometimes he would be slightly absent-minded. The fierce fighting was still in front of him. This Jurchen veteran seemed to have turned gray-haired in the blink of an eye. There was no mention in his hand.
Knife.
Near the hills, in front of Qin Shaoqian's battle, it was the first time in more than ten years that he raised his sword and went into battle. The long-lost breath rose in his heart, and the memories from many years ago became clear in his mind. He knew how
Fight hard, know how to fight, know how to sacrifice this life... When facing the Liao people many years ago, he risked his life countless times and crushed the enemy under his sharp teeth.
On this day, he went into battle again, risking his life, just like forty years ago, fighting to find a way out of nowhere in this world, he fought against two Chinese soldiers one after another.
Fighting. Forty years have passed. In that moment of fighting, he finally understood what a good army the Chinese army in front of him was. This understanding finally became real at the moment when the blades of the blades met. He was
The Jurchen's most keen hunter, at this moment, he could clearly see the outline of the giant beast opposite the wind and snow.
He gave up the charge and turned around to leave.
At least at this moment, he already understood what the consequences of charging would be.
not now……
"...the Chinese army's gunpowder continues to get stronger, and the battles in the future will be different from those of the past thousand years... Ning Yi's words are very reasonable. They must be spread throughout the entire Dazhuoyuan...not only the Dazhuoyuan...if you want me to wait for my subordinates
All soldiers can lose their formation on the battlefield without becoming disorganized. They must prepare before the battle... But the most important thing is to vigorously promote papermaking so that soldiers can read... No, it's not that simple yet..."
As the war horse moved forward, Zong Han said these words to Han Qixian and others next to him. Some of them sounded like ominous words of entrustment. Someone tried to interrupt Zong Han, but he yelled back: "Give it to me."
I heard this clearly! Remember this! The Chinese army will fight to the death. If you and I can't go back, someone in our country should understand these truths! This world is different, and it will be completely different from before in the future! Ning Yi's tricks
If we can’t learn, it will be difficult for our great Jin Kingdom Zuo to survive... It’s a pity that Gu Shen and I are old..."
As he said this, someone came to report the approach of the Chinese army, and then someone came with the news that Shi Yema led his guards from the northeast to rescue. Zong Han shouted: "Order him to turn to support Hanzhong immediately, and I don't need to rescue!"
"
Not long after, groups of Chinese troops came from the side, and She Yema also rushed over quickly, diagonally cutting into the chaotic escape route.
"Who dares to hurt my father?"
He led his troops to fight, so bravely.
Zong Han summoned: "Let him go"
As the setting sun spread across the sky, thousands of Jurchens fled in a fight. The Chinese army pursued them all the way, and scattered pursuers rushed over, using their last strength to try to bite the lingering giant beast.
Liu Muchia followed the brigade and fought forward. The squad leader was covered in blood and shouted from the front: "Kill Nianhan! Cut him up." They bit towards the handsome flag in the distance. The surroundings were full of chaotic fighting, with small groups
The cavalry rushed over. The soldiers were looking for the grenades on their bodies. Most of the grenades had been used up. Someone found two fire mines from the bodies of the Jurchen soldiers and threw them out when the horses came. One of the cavalry fell off their horses.
Next, there was a chaotic fight all around.
"Kill them back and catch Nianhan," the squad leader shouted during the fight. He and the Jurchens had a blood feud that destroyed their family. Seeing the Jurchens' handsome flag coming closer and further away, hysteria was rising in his head at this moment. This was also
No wonder, since the Jurchens went south, how many people have lost their families and destroyed their families. How many times in their lives can they have the opportunity to be so close to Nianhan with swords and guns?
"I'll kill you! Dog-like Han Chinese"
Smoke and dust were billowing all around. Among the enemies on the opposite side were Jurchen generals, and the soldiers around them were also good at martial arts. Liu Muchia held a knife in one hand and a shield in the other. He killed one person amidst the shouts from the opposite side, and then cooperated with his comrades next to him to press forward.
, he is a veteran of the Seventh Army. He does not serve as an officer just because he does not like to command people, but his skills in fighting and coordinating on the battlefield are very few in the entire battalion and regiment. While fighting, he also conserves his physical strength.
, protect comrades.
The two comrades he brought with him rushed forward with him shouting. The small barrier formed by three shields knocked away a Jurchen soldier. The squad leader's cry "Kill Nianhan, charge..." came from the side.
But something was wrong. Liu Muchia turned around and saw that the squad leader was being stabbed through the stomach by the Jurchen general in armor. After twisting the long knife, he was pulled out.
"Go to hell and tell my father to leave! Don't worry about me! He has the hope of the Jurchens. I can die, but he must live."
Blood sprayed onto Wanyan Shema's armor. He waved his steel knife and gave orders to the guards beside him. When he saw a Chinese soldier from the side rushing towards him, he rushed forward with all his strength!
On the other side of the battlefield, Zong Han looked at Shi Yema entering the battlefield, and also gave orders, and then led his soldiers to rush over here and join Shi Yema's troops.
"Go tell him! Let him move! This is an order. If he doesn't leave, he will not be my son."
Liu Muxia and the Chinese soldiers next to him rushed towards Wanyan Sheyema, and several Jurchen guards around him also rushed forward. Liu Muxia killed a Jurchen bodyguard, and hit Sheyema with his shield. Sheyema took two steps back.
, wielding the knife and slashing rapidly, Liu Muchia let go of the shield, dived, and hit Shiye Ma's leg with his knife. Shiye Ma staggered and split open a member of the Chinese Army who was rushing towards him. Then he turned around and Liu Muchia swung his sword.
The broadsword slashed down with all its strength from the air. There was a loud clang and sparks flew out. The sword struck Shi Yema's helmet, like a sap blow.
There was a buzzing sound in Shi Yema's head. He returned the knife. The next moment, Liu Muxia slashed hard on the back of his head with a horizontal swing of his knife. The Chinese military steel knife was quite heavy. Shi Yema said with a sweet taste, "The long knife"
Fight back with wild swings.
There were guards around and the Chinese soldiers also rushed over. Liu Muchia and Shi Yema fought hard twice, and they suddenly collided and pushed each other back two or three steps. Shi Yema was tripped by a stone behind, and Liu Muchia
He chased after him and slashed with all his strength with his long sword. Shi Yema's mind was already confused. He leaned on his armor, got up from the ground, and swung his sword forward. Liu Muxia swung his sword and slashed at his shoulder and neck.
By the fourth blow, Shima stood up half of his body, the armor had opened its mouth, and blood spurted out from under the blade.
Liu Muxia struck down with his sword again, Shi Yema stood up unsteadily, took a staggering step, and fell to his knees again. He wanted to swing his sword backwards, but Zong Han's handsome flag in front was moving this way, Liu Muxia stopped him
The gash in his body was opened wider, and then he was stabbed again.
Under the setting sun, Zong Han watched his son's body being split open by the Chinese soldiers one by one in the chaos...
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh"
The old man's howling like a tiger sounded in the wilderness, his face was twisted, his eyes were ferocious and terrifying, and the soldiers of the Chinese Army were rushing towards him with the same ferocious attitude.
