The sun is on the western horizon, and only the last point of light remains. The mountains and the earth near have begun to darken.

The sound of horses neighing, speckled flames burning between the mountains and tidal flats, and the sound of routs on the ground near night, far and near, make it a little difficult to distinguish the distance.

The explosion sounded on the ridge, and the flames rushed away with the smoke for a moment, and it was particularly dazzling on the ground that fell into the darkness, and Chen Hai, who was half-blooded and walking on this position, was almost affected by the explosion, staggered a few steps, tripped over the corpse of a golden soldier, fell to the ground and got up according to the corpse's head, and his hands were covered with slimy blood.

"Geng Changqing! Keep my cannon on the look, count it—"

Chen Hai shouted the name of the battalion commander under his command loudly and gave the order.

The battle on the iron cannon position of the golden soldiers was nearing its end.

The iron cannon manufactured and popularized by the Huaxia Army is an epoch-making weapon, and it is infinitely powerful for the dense battlefield charge. However, starting from the appearance of iron cannons, grenades, and other objects, the Huaxia Army has actually eliminated the dense phalanx impact, and the Seventh Army has certainly also practiced in phalanxes such as walking in the right steps, but it is mainly to increase the army's discipline and overall implication, and in terms of actual combat exercises, it is the focus of the Seventh Army's operations to directly blow up the opponent with explosives, and its own side to charge with scattered troops, and small-scale cooperation anytime and anywhere.

Pucha's 10,000 forwards brought a total of more than 20 iron cannons, and if they faced a whole block of rushing soldiers, they could certainly cause huge damage, and the amazing explosion sound was a shock for most people. However, this kind of deterrence is basically ineffective for the veterans of the Seventh Army in China.

If time develops a little more, on the relatively modern battlefield, it is often the new recruits who are afraid of artillery and the veterans who are afraid of guns. In a position of more than 20 cannons, it is not too much of a problem to kill someone in a salvo, but no one will do it. For a single soldier, the significance of more than twenty cannons may not be as good as twenty arrows, at least the arrows are fired, and the archers may have aimed at someone. And the cannon is not fired at a single person.

Chen Hai organized his soldiers to march lightly along the side foothills in squads, and then launched an attack in waves, the artillery did not play much of a blocking role, the two sides first attacked each other with grenades and fire mines, and then fought between the iron artillery positions. The Huaxia army began to carry out decapitation tactics, and the Jin soldiers also organized stubborn resistance.

As a force that once overwhelmed the world for 30 years, despite the recent successive defeats and loss of generals, the morale of the Jin army was not defeated like a mountain, the pride of the past and the current predicament were superimposed, although some people fled timidly, but there were also many Jin soldiers who were inspired to be brave, at least in the small-scale fighting, it was still remarkable.

So that Chen Hai took a lot of effort to seize this position, and even at the moment when the battle situation was almost decided, there were Jurchen soldiers with torches to launch a desperate attack, the previous explosion was caused by a Jurchen soldier igniting an ammunition barrel on the artillery position, the explosion spread, and the two nearby cannons were also lifted away, and they were no longer usable.

"Heal the wounded!"

"Build a line of defense—"

"Test the gun—"

Chen Hai walked on the position, issuing orders one by one, and someone came from a distance, carrying a human head: "Regiment leader, kill a Meng'an." ”

"Throw it and feed the dogs!"

As he said this, the rout on the battlefield below was still fleeing, and far away on the banks of the Jialing River, the fighting on the main battlefield was still continuing. There was movement on the east side of the field of vision, Chen Hai raised the telescope, and a piece of firelight appeared at the end of the east field of vision—on the hills far away from the mudflats, the torches of the horse team were connected in a line.

"Sabal is coming. Artillery ready! Chen Hai calmly ordered, "Those who brought spears and engineers will go down to support Brigade Commander Hou." ”

……

Wan Yan Saba did not enter the battlefield at the first time.

The support force he led totaled 20,000 people, of which more than 3,000 were cavalry. His army was not far from Pucha's troops, and it would have been possible to enter the battlefield in half a day, and the speed of the cavalry was certainly faster—this time was sufficient, but what he did not expect was that the situation of the war on Lüyang's side would be so intense.

On the way over, he received a total of five battlefield information, the first two were normal, and then each time was more urgent, and the last time the soldiers were simply defeated on the battlefield. The offensive of the Huaxia army was so fierce that it made people's scalps tingle, and he led the cavalry to the present, and at the first moment when the battlefield was in view, he stopped the horse team.

In front of the field of vision was a chaotic rout scene, seeing the torches on the hills here, some of the escaped Jin soldiers came towards this side, Saba ordered his personal guards to pack up the rout, and at the same time called someone to come over to inquire about the situation, and soon after, one information after another was gathered.

Pucha's 10,000 forward troops were on the verge of collapse, and a large number of soldiers were scattered by the Huaxia army.

In the soldier's speech, Pu Cha is waiting for rescue on the bank of the Jialing River in front, and in front of the field of vision, the artillery position has been taken by the Huaxia Army, the Jin soldiers are scattered and disorderly in this night, and the combat team of the Huaxia Army is clearly formed into one torrent after another, in such a chaotic battle, they are all subconsciously gathering and grouping, these groups are not big, but for the scattered Jin soldiers, each group is like a devouring beast, devouring every wave of resistance in the field of vision.

The largest of them had apparently spotted their arrival, gathering in a long line under the mountainside with the artillery array, the spears gathering into a forest, and a row of soldiers in front of the gun forest seemed to be frantically digging into the ground.

This infantry team was only two or three thousand people, and they were ready to fight a positional battle with the cavalry at the first time, blocking their way to rush to the Jialing River to save people, but Saba naturally understood that such a fast and resolute team was quite terrifying.

There was even more terrifying information, which contained the reason for the rapid collapse of Pucha's troops, which had been preliminarily organized by him, and made him feel that the roots of his teeth were a little pantothenic.

If ten years ago, he would not hesitate to throw his cavalry into the battlefield.

Of course, there is not much time for him to hesitate and wait right now.

He quickly issued several orders, one was to order his guards to gather and reorganize the fleeing soldiers to restore their combat strength, and the other was to have people quickly rush to the Jialing River to convey the message, so that Pu Cha could no longer hesitate to break through to the east road as quickly as possible and join his side. At the same time, he called one of the most relied on personal soldiers around him and asked him to quickly return to the rear camp and ask him to convey the problems and discoveries of this battlefield to Zong Han.

"Go quickly, it's no longer too late."

He said.

Looking back, on the battlefields between the foothills, the woods, the depressions, and the tidal flats, there were sparse and sparse lights, and the sun had completely set, so of course it was not the best time for the cavalry to rush into battle. But I had to rush, and I had to look for each other's flaws in the movement.

This is the only way out -

……

It's getting dark.

Zong Han's camp set up tents between the mountains, and the war horses galloped in and out, rendering the night lively.

The war had already begun, in an unexpected way, relatively smoothly. The fighting began in the afternoon, and the first battle took place in the mountains in the direction of Yangba
