Start: Datang Wanli a lonely city

Chapter 493
Time: The first year of Maode, the morning of October [-]th, which is the early seven o'clock.

In this way, in later generations, every time junior high school, high school, and even college students take history exams, they often involve a test point.

The decisive battle between the new army of the Song Dynasty and the army of the Jin Dynasty against the army of the Song Dynasty began in such a gray and depressing weather.

Amidst the thundering drums of 'Boom, Boom, Boom~', since the start of such a big battle, it has always been the new army of the Song Dynasty who has been passively defending.

For the first time and only time, the whole army began to take the initiative to attack.

Except for the more than 2000 civilians brought by the warehouse manager, who were busy setting up the Congreve rocket, the ultimate killer, almost all the personnel of the entire new army camp came out.

After continuous consumption, there are supplements from Kaifeng City.

After counting the civilian husbands, there were originally a large camp of more than 8 people; at this moment, there are less than [-] people in total.

Among them are 46732 infantry, 8620 artillery, and 711 cavalry. They walked out of the camp one by one with a company as a unit at a neat pace.

By now, everyone has understood the next battle, and what kind of important things the results represent.

This is also true, whether it is for speaking, the aloof and nihilistic Da Song, or the slightly down-to-earth Hu Xianggong and others.

Or just for the simple wish of my own wife and children, and myself being able to survive.

While everyone is firmly taking their own steps, they can't help but have a lot of thoughts in their hearts for a while...

"Brothers! Take advantage of the fact that the war has not started yet, while paying attention to the progress of your feet, take out the dry food distributed to you and take a few bites.

It's all right, don't worry about the officers blaming me, no matter what happens, everything will be settled by me, Laohou. "

With all the soldiers under his command, when they walked out of the camp these days, they left an unknown amount of blood, tears and laughter.

In Hou San's mouth, as the company commander, he began to shout loudly.

That's right!Hou San is now the first division of the new infantry army of the Great Song Dynasty, and the company commander of the third company of the fourth battalion of the [-] regiment. By the way, there is also a parenthesis, which says the word agent.

To be more specific, it was during the battle that lasted less than half a month.

As the officers on his head continued to die in battle, or were seriously injured.

Hou San, who was only a squad leader at first, was continuously promoted by the front line, and served as deputy platoon leader, platoon leader, and deputy company commander, and finally became the current acting company commander.

Good guy!Almost every three days will be upgraded to a level.

Among them, the promotion from platoon leader to deputy company commander was only a day later.

And after today's battle is over, as long as this guy can survive smoothly, he doesn't know what level he can be promoted to.

It's just that at this moment, what this guy thinks about is not his future, or even whether he can survive.

It's just that his subordinates now, this one has been supplemented several times before and after.

Counting the cooks in the cooking squad, some clerks in the company headquarters, and messengers, there are still only 103 people in the second company.

Whether it is a total of 51 familiar old brothers, or 52, some new brothers added yesterday, now I can hurry up and eat a few bites.

Because this grassroots officer who has grown up rapidly amidst the flames of war and death, knows one thing very clearly in his heart:
Under today's World War I, I don't know how many of these 103 brothers in Erlian will survive.

But for other things, he can't do anything at all. The only thing he can do is to take advantage of the limited time to prevent his brothers from becoming starving ghosts.

So amidst his yelling, the soldiers put their muskets behind their backs one after another.

From a satchel at his waist, he fumbled out some dry pancakes filled with minced horse meat, and stuffed them into his mouth continuously.

During such a process, most of the company's personnel were fine, eating silently as they advanced, full of the indifference of iron-blooded veterans.

But Hou San clearly saw such a situation, that is, last night, they were among the 11 civilian husbands added.

One only claims to be 17 years old, but the height is not even the height of a musket with a bayonet attached, so I don’t know if there are any 15-year-old brothers.

While nibbling on pancakes, the appearance of crying 'Bada, Bada~' made Hou San inexplicably soft.

He couldn't help thinking that if his younger brother hadn't died of illness that year, he might have just happened to be at such an age when he wanted to marry a wife.

"If there is a chance, try to take care of this little brother so that he can survive."

In Hou San's heart, thinking of...

And all kinds of situations like Erlian and Hou San are just a scene of many situations that happened in the new army of the Song Dynasty in the short period of time before the start of the war.

You must know that in the entire new army, there are as many as two or three hundred such companies.

There are as many as 130 people, and as few as [-] or [-] companies.

Perhaps in the early stage of the battle, large troops will start to cooperate and advance and fight; but as the battle continues to advance and various changes occur, these companies are destined to fight on their own.

At that time, no one can tell which companies will suffer heavy losses, or even the entire army will be wiped out.

However, Hu Biao still had considerable confidence in the final victory of the battle.

Because once the entire battlefield becomes a chaotic situation, what will be fought at that time is between the two sides, the command ability of the grassroots officers, and the soldiers' heart to fight to the death.

Regarding the above, he believed that the new army under his command was definitely stronger than the golden soldiers on the hills.

The only thing he was worried about now was that the Jinren side relied on the high mobility of the cavalry, decisively threw away the camp and did not fight with them, just cruising around.

After it rained for a while and they became completely wet, they would start to attack.

Fortunately, this most worried scene did not happen in the end.

Perhaps in the occasional drizzle, Wanyan Zonghan and other Jin Bing commanders thought that the Song people in front of them were dead; or they had taken into account some considerations about the morale of their own side.

In short, the army of the Song army started to leave the camp for a while, and in the camp of the Jin soldiers, there were bursts of loud horns sounding very soon.

There are some drumbeats with this side, which means tit for tat.

Then, amidst the sound of such horns, the Jin army also came out in full force, and began to gather towards this side.

It is also for this reason that Hu Biao did not choose to let the warehouse manager, and greeted the "Congreve rocket" that had been hastily erected.

Wait for a while, the effect will be better...

******
really!After every trace of autumn rain fell on his face, the last bit of hesitation in Wanyan Zongwang's heart, the second prince of the Kingdom of Jin, was gone.

Now that he has put on a handsome golden helmet, he suddenly roared:

"As the order continues, everyone in the entire army will go to battle. Today is the day when the new army of the Song Dynasty will be completely destroyed, and it will also be the beginning of my Dajin sweeping the world from now on.

Those who capture Hu Yitong alive in this battle will be rewarded with tens of thousands of households, gold, silver, cattle, horses, slaves, etc. worth [-] guan.

Those who capture Hu Biao's confidants alive will be rewarded with thousands of households, gold, silver, cattle, horses, slaves, etc. worth [-] guan; if they bring their heads to see me, the reward will be halved.

After the big victory, when the big one enters the city of Kaifeng, if the sword is not sealed for three days, the whole army will be rewarded. "

So under such an order, as Hu Biao could see, when the horns sounded, the entire Jinren army began to almost come out in full force.

However, Hu Biao, who was holding a single-lens six-fold binoculars at that time, couldn't see clearly the faces of all the golden soldiers, because of the heavy rewards and the confidence to win, they were full of fanatical expressions.

What he could see was, among the banners of the commander-in-chief of the golden man, how could the banner of Wanyan Zonghan still be seen yesterday afternoon, but it was gone again this morning.

After faintly thinking of something, his heart suddenly became a little nervous.

He hurriedly told a messenger next to him, and quickly ordered: "Quick! Go to the Erfat Brigadier Commander of the Second Independent Artillery Brigade and ask him to use Erhei to investigate. Then where did Yan Zonghan go?"

After hearing the words, the messenger immediately galloped away...
