In April of the first year of Wu Zhenxing, in the early summer of the thirteenth year since Ning Yi killed the monarch in anger and played the banner of China, a lot of common sense in this world has been violently subverted.

The Fourth Southern Expedition of the Jin Kingdom, which lasted for nearly two years, has come to an end, and during this period, the Southwest Campaign, which seemed to be marginalized but was actually concerned by countless people in the whole world, is also coming to an end. The Wu Dynasty fell and collapsed in the attack of the Eastern Route Army of the Jin State, and the tragedy of kneeling to the Jin people in almost the whole world was painful, but it did not surprise many people.

In the course of the entire Jinwu War, the Wu Dynasty had stupid acts and tragic resistance, but whether before or after the war, people clearly knew that in this war, the Wu Dynasty was the real weakling. The defeat of the weak is sighing and heart-wrenching, but most people in the whole world have thought about such a scene at least once or twice.

For the black flag of the southwest, people have been reluctant to look at it for a long time, and the impression of the people of the Wu Dynasty is more or less biased, even if it is a lot of forces that have long been trading and mutually beneficial with the southwest, it is difficult to give birth to a very high evaluation of the hundreds of thousands of people who once huddled in the Liangshan Mountains in the southwest - and this "extremely high" ceiling is at most on par with the Wu Dynasty.

Even in the country of Jin, the vast majority of the population did not seriously consider the threat of the so-called "black flag". Although the great battle that took place in the northwest that year once caused the Jin State to lose two generals, it ended with the victory of the Jin State and the massacre of the Northwest after all. The only ones who really saw the threat of the black flag were Zong Han, Xi Yin and other high-level officials of the Jin Kingdom, and their thinking also stayed on "it's not too late". In the fourth southern expedition, the Eastern Route Army mainly attacked the Wu Dynasty, and the Western Route Army focused on the southwest.

Zong Fu Zongbi's expedition to the south of the martial arts may still return without success, but the target targeted by the Western Route Army - the group of Wu Dynasty bandits hiding in the mountains - basically has no possibility of dodging.

People watched the mighty Jinwu confrontation and the process of the Nanwu splitting and falling, and most of them had a relatively comfortable mentality for the advancement of the Western Route Army. If the war process of the Wu Dynasty can support a wonderful gamble, the development of the war in the southwest can only become a time bet for a long time: when will Zong Han break through Zizhou, when will he break through Chengdu, when will he defeat the so-called Fifth Army of China, and when will he return to the dynasty in triumph...... By the beginning of the year, such a gamble may be able to be adjusted, but in the general direction, there is still not much change.

Until the southwest, the heart demon turned over the hole cards in his hand one by one like a master of tricks.

No one expected that the Black Flag Army, which had only a few hundred thousand people in a remote corner for a long time, would contain such a great power. In the second half of last year, the Western Route Army entered the Sword Pavilion, and the hole cards in the hands of the heart demon were only calmly and slowly turned over one by one, and the Western Route Army led by Zong Han only thought that they were facing a small pond like going deeper.

But this year, especially since February, the cards in the hands of the demons have become more intense, and even more intense than one by one. The small pond was shaking, the earth fire was accumulating, and Zong Han and the others, who had already penetrated into it, saw it like a surging magma rushing in their faces, and the people who were preparing to fight against the small pond faced the eruption of the volcano.

The Wangyuan Bridge in February, all the way to the chase in March, all the common sense was broken in front of their eyes, people thought that the black flag was just an unruly rebel within the Wu Dynasty - like Fang La, like Tian Hu, at most more powerful and extreme Fang La and Tian Hu - but what they didn't expect was that at this moment, the black flag showed that it was already beyond the rise of the Jurchens, and the terrible power of "invincible".

The most terrifying thing is that such power has not yet bottomed out. If the firearms that appeared in the southwest in February and March were a temporary breakthrough based on KitKat's prostitution skills, it was not until the decisive battle between Hanzhong in April, where Zong Han pinned his last hope, that people saw an astonishing scene that even surpassed the power of KitKat's prostitution skills.

On April 19, in the records and summaries of later generations, this was the moment when the modern military system and military beliefs really showed their terrible power, as the Seventh Army led by Qin Shaoqian rushed forward, the Jurchen troops, who once had the belief of "mourning soldiers" and still maintained the peak of this era in terms of individual soldier quality, were almost smashed to the ground in a sudden situation. This is the performance of the 20,000 Chinese army against the 90,000 Jin army.

The astonishing will to fight, excellent battlefield cooperation, and ultra-high degree of organization are reflected in the field battle, which is almost like a steel knife cutting tofu-like combat power comparison. On the afternoon of 19 April, the forward troops led by Pucha were like encountering a huge grinding wheel, and in the tactics of unforeseen mass beheading, they were irresistibly defeated.

Before the battle, in this era, they were also a tenacious army of steel, but the steel was crushed by force, and the crisp sound of smashing could be heard when they came after.

Fierce fighting continued that night.

In later generations, the evaluation of the performance of the Jin people in this Hanzhong war often tended to two directions.

One believes that the Jurchen army at this time is already going downhill, especially after the defeat in the southwest, the military spirit of its army has collapsed to a pulp, so the combat effectiveness of the Seventh Army in China must also be measured with a few discounts, in Qin Shaoqian's words at the time, it is probably a cold meal left over from the Fifth Army.

Another theory is that compared to the peak combat power of the Huaxia army based on the modern military system shown here, the Jin soldiers under the leadership of Zong Han and others, also within a certain period of time, gave rise to the peak power of the feudal army, which is the proud remnant of the Jurchen army that has dominated the world for more than 30 years. I am afraid that the consciousness of mourning soldiers still exists only in the hearts of a very small number of middle and high-level nobles such as high-level generals such as Bali Su, and when it comes to Dehanzhong, the middle and lower classes gradually feel the fear that they may not be able to go back.

Such thoughts of mourning the soldiers stimulated their combat strength to a certain extent. And among the top echelons of the army, the performance of several generals is actually very bright, which is even like the light they emit from burning themselves. Among them, Wanyan Saba, after the rescue of Pu Cha was unsuccessful, chose to consolidate the position and shrink the defense, and led the cavalry in the outlaw raid the next day, which once caused a lot of trouble to the Huaxia army.

And the most powerful reaction may be Wanyan Zonghan's response that night. Soon after receiving the news from the personal guards of Saba, the Jurchen veteran who had fought in the world for more than 40 years silently mobilized his army and prepared to defend against night attacks and even set up ambushes to counterattack.

Qin Shaoqian led the main force of the 2nd Division, which had traveled a distance of dozens of miles along the mountain road during this night, to launch an attack on Zong Han's camp in the early morning of 20 April when the people were most tired and sleepy, and Zong Han's response on this night was as accurate as that of a beast. He himself stayed up all night, and also prepared the soldiers in the barracks to meet the battle, the attack of the Huaxia army, and then fell into the trap. This is the most beautiful scene for Jin Bing in the Hanzhong War.

However, the quality of the Huaxia Army's army was also extremely amazing, and a company in charge of the forward attack was the first to notice that something was wrong and began to divide its troops to reconnoitre, which made the ambush of the Dejin soldiers unable to encircle the Huaxia Army's brigade. In the first quarter of an hour after the battle began, the vanguard of the Chinese army was once at a disadvantage due to artillery and fire attacks, but then launched a stubborn resistance and breakthrough.

In the ensuing battle, both sides showed an astonishing will to fight. Zong Han and Han Qi first went to the front line to supervise the battle, and when they discovered the enemy's leader, some of the companies and classes of the Huaxia Army that were in the semi-encirclement even launched a surprise attack on the core of the opponent at one point. This cost a certain amount of sacrifice, but it did not pay off. With the retreat of the Huaxia army, the Jin soldiers launched a high-spirited pursuit, and soon after encountered the counter-charge of the Huaxia army, and thousands of Jin troops were routed in the night.

Compared with the losses of the Huaxia army after falling into an ambush before, the subsequent battle caused more casualties among the Jin soldiers, Zong Han already understood the horror of this Huaxia army's combat strength, and then built a heavy defense.

This night's battle also seemed to confirm Ning Yi's previous statement, although the Huaxia Army already had amazing combat qualities and concentrated the wisdom of everyone through the General Staff, but in terms of on-the-spot command and tactical application of the war, it was still inferior to the generals of the Jin State who were still alive after decades of fighting and countless tests. Pang Liu'an's loss of Huangming County stemmed from this reason, and Qin Shaoqian's unsuccessful sneak attack this night also came because of this.

However, General Jin is good at tactics, and what the Huaxia Army is good at is reflected in strategy. Ning Yi is good at operational planning, modern army discipline and brutal training, and the quality of the Seventh Army that has been built is enough to erase some tactical flaws. Even if a thousand people surrounded five hundred, five hundred people only had to defeat a thousand people in turn.

After this night, Qin Shaoqian divided half of his troops and hurried north, cooperating with the attack of the first division to finish Yan Saba, who tried his best to stabilize his position, trying to use the advantage of artillery to drag the situation into the positional defensive battle of the large army. At the same time, Gao Qingyi and Zong Han pulled out the camp to the north, and Qin Shaoqian led his troops to attack the middle road. Zong Han mobilized a large number of middle and low-level generals, and launched round after round of battles with the Huaxia army with fierce and long offensives.

In front of the amazing combat power that the Huaxia Army had already shown, Zong Han did not choose to retreat, and retreat at this time was a real dead end. Even though the combat strength of the Seventh Army of China is already extremely strong, it only adds up to 20,000 people, and this Jurchen veteran knows that the only way out is to grit his teeth and fight attrition.

He, Han Qixian, Gao Qingyi and others did their best to maintain the organization of the army, cut the army that was still large in numbers on a small scale, and launched continuous and frequent attacks on the Huaxia army round by round - at this time, they had already lost more and won less in local battles, but as long as they did not carry out a large-scale decisive battle such as guarding the infantry and reaching the post, Zong Han had already decided that even if he used the advantage in numbers, he would consume this Huaxia army.

Within a radius of 100 miles, the two armies were chaotically staggered, and the two sides fought for each point and hill by hill, and the Huaxia army was tenacious, but the Jurchens were under the control of Zong Han, Gao Qingyi and others, and the troops were dense and responded quickly. Every time one of its troops is defeated, it is convenient to mobilize two troops to come over and defeat two, and there must be two troops waiting to fight in the rear...... The Jurchens' style of warfare has always been rough, and for forty years, it has only been a wave of inspiration and a wave of charges to defeat the vast majority of the enemies in this world. But after forty years of mastering the army, Wanyan Zonghan had no choice but to face another test, and no one expected him to be able to deal with this test in such a way.

The army of tens of thousands of people was almost cut into units of about 100 people by him, and Zong Han threw these troops everywhere like a game of chess, some troops were given death orders, while others were relatively flexible in their orders, and every Meng An and Mou Ke in the army received relatively specific orders in front of him. There is an inherent delay in the transmission of information on the battlefield, but Zong Han and the others predict the trend of the battlefield with their years of battlefield experience and the reactions of the rest of the middle and high-level generals.

Part of the arrangement failed, but the general direction of the operation was almost predicted in advance by the old man, and in several high-intensity combat areas, the reinforcements of the Jurchens were endless, which made the Huaxia army feel tired for a while.

According to records a few years later, in the days when the decisive battle between Hanzhong began, some soldiers in the Jurchen army testified that Wanyan Zonghan "did not sleep for three days, his eyes were red, and his hair was white." "This old man, who shoulders half of the hope of the Golden Country, has consumed himself to the extreme.

Although the intensity of the battle is extremely high, and the sorties, operations, division of troops, and transfers are also extremely frequent, the staff is not flustered, and the 20,000 people maintain each other's echo and integrity in the general direction, and each attack strives to defeat the other party at the minimum cost - since Wanyan Zonghan has shown a cautious response, and cannot directly assassinate the king and kill the driver, then the Huaxia army will simply turn into countless small mouths, Through one partial victory after another, the opponent is gnawed until he has a mental breakdown.

Near Hanzhong, more than a million "Han troops" – or just their leaders – watched with bated breath as they watched the frantic and fierce battle. But the news changes even faster than their cognitive abilities of reality. From the morning of 19 to 23 April, people watching from the outside world could not see clearly how the flames of war burned west of Hanzhong. At most, I can only know that the generals of the Jin people are burning themselves with all their might, trying to burn the terrifying enemy in front of them, and the attack of the Huaxia army is like a heavy hammer smashed again and again, trying to extinguish the fire of the Jin country, and the fight between the two has exceeded the common sense of the past......

At noon on the same day, the troops of a battalion of the Seventh Army of China disguised themselves as scattered Jurchen troops and forcibly seized the south gate of Hanzhong. The flames of war that were originally entangled in the west of Hanzhong seemed to spread suddenly, and suddenly, the entire Hanzhong was turned into a sea of fire-
