The Jin soldiers were defeated in the first battle, and Huang Taiji was also taken aback by the power of the artillery, but fortunately, he also discovered the shortcomings of the artillery, and immediately ordered ten giant crossbows to be dispatched to aim at the twenty artillery guns of the Dongjiang Army.

The crossbow does not have the earth-shattering sound of artillery when fired, and the lethality of crossbow arrows is not as powerful as that of artillery scatterballs. However, the direct fire power of the bolt is so powerful that anything that stands in the way of the bolt can be easily destroyed.

More than a dozen fire commanders at the forefront were pierced into a string by a crossbow arrow, directly killing and wounding more than a dozen people. The other fire commanders escaped from the ground in time under the order of the alert general.

The remaining nine huge crossbow arrows flew over their heads with a whistling sound, and the piercing sound made the fire commanders feel terrified. The crossbow arrows, which were unhindered, ended up heading straight for their targets, the artillery that could not move quickly.

With a roar, the three cannons collided directly with the crossbow arrows, and the three-hundred-pound cannon body was suddenly knocked backwards and soared, and then fell heavily to the ground, raising the dust of the old high. The remaining crossbow arrows that failed to hit the artillery continued to whizz towards the positions of the Dongjiang Army in the rear.

In the face of the roaring crossbow arrows, Mao Wenlong immediately ordered the soldiers in front of him who might be affected to lie on the ground and take shelter. In the end, the bolts did not cause any casualties to the soldiers in the rear, and fell naturally after their strength rested.

Although the crossbow arrows did not cause any casualties to the Dongjiang Army, they also hindered the pace of continuing to advance, and although the area of such crossbow arrows was very small, they were also extraordinary, and once the crossbow arrows attacked increased, it would inevitably be a major obstacle to the Dongjiang Army's attack.

Mao Wenlong immediately ordered the artillery battalion to switch to live ammunition to cover the crossbow positions. Under the cover of artillery fire, the army accelerated forward, preparing to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the Jin soldiers.

The hot air balloon in the air has also begun to enter the range of Jin Bing's crossbow arrows at this moment, and a large number of crossbow arrows suddenly shot from the ground into the sky. However, due to the fact that this time the hot air balloon of the Dongjiang Army flew to the extreme height, and it was not afraid of the shooting of crossbow arrows at all.

Discovering this situation, Huang Taiji was also red-eyed, once the hot air balloon broke through the defense line of the crossbow arrows, the next thing was the beginning of the suffering of the golden soldiers. Therefore, the biggest threats must be eliminated no matter what, so that the Jin soldiers can concentrate on fighting the Dongjiang army.

But the situation in front of him made Huang Taiji helpless, the range of the crossbow arrow had reached the limit, and it could not be improved at all. This also means that Huang Taiji has no way to deal with hot air balloons. Heaven and earth have been subjected to fierce attacks, and if they continue to be half-hearted, it will inevitably only accelerate the defeat of the Jin soldiers.

Huang Taiji figured out the key to this, and he immediately made a decision and ordered no longer to carry out a long-range attack, but gave up the crossbow arrows to return fire, and sounded the horn of a general attack. Huang Taiji knew very well in his heart that if he wanted to avoid being bombed by the hot air balloons in the sky, then he had to lead the army to fight with the Dongjiang Army, so that those hot air balloons in the sky would not dare to throw these terrible things down.

It turned out that Huang Taiji's choice was quite correct, and when the hot air balloon really entered the attack opportunity, the officers and soldiers of the Dongjiang Army above found that the Jin soldiers had already been fighting with the Dongjiang Army. Seeing the soldiers on both sides mixed together, they didn't dare to throw anything down there.

The brave wins in hand-to-hand combat, the Dongjiang army has always been brave, and the Jin soldiers are not to be outdone, and the two sides can be said to be evenly matched. After the scuffle began, the casualties on both sides continued to accelerate, and there was no quick defeat of either side.

Chengzuo was fighting on the battlefield, and when he saw such a hanging, he was anxious. He knew very well that if he did not break this situation as soon as possible, even if the Dongjiang Army could win the battle in the end, it would inevitably pay a lot of casualties. This is not what he wants to see, a war in which one thousand enemies are injured and eight hundred are self-inflicted, and there is really no distinction between winning and losing.

Mao Wenlong did not join the battlefield, he personally supervised the army in the rear of the battlefield at the moment, and saw the fierce fighting on the battlefield. Looking at the hot air balloons in the sky that failed to perform as they should, they suddenly fell into deep thought.

Obviously, Mao Wenlong made a small mistake from the beginning, he should not have ordered a direct hand-to-hand combat with Jin Bing. After all, the current equipment advantage of the Dongjiang Army is in long-distance tactics, and there is no need to rush to engage in such a hand-to-hand fight with the Jin soldiers, he can effectively destroy the spirit of the Jin soldiers after the bombardment of artillery and hot air balloons, and then suppress the whole army to break the last psychological defense line of the Jin soldiers.

It's a pity that there is no regret medicine in this world, a small mistake, and the consequences of it can only be swallowed alive by Mao Wenlong. Seeing that any further delay would only cause more officers and soldiers of the Dongjiang Army to die on the battlefield, Mao Wenlong did not dare to hesitate any longer, and immediately ordered Chen Jisheng, who was already ambushed in the rear of the enemy army, to send a signal to attack.

The signal was sent by a hot air balloon in the sky, and Chen Jisheng in the rear could easily see it. When he learned that the two armies were already at war, he began to gear up. finally waited for Mao Wenlong's signal, and he immediately attacked.

Under his leadership, 20,000 cavalry rushed to the battlefield with thunderous horses' hooves. Suddenly hearing the movement behind him, Huang Taiji immediately frowned, the two armies have been fighting for half an hour, but they have not found the cavalry battalion of the Dongjiang Army, which obviously makes Huang Taiji feel confused?

At this moment, there was a movement in the rear, and soon a scout came to report that there was a cavalry of the Dongjiang Army outflanking from the rear. When Huang Taiji heard the news, it finally dawned on him, and it turned out that the cavalry battalion of the Dongjiang Army had gone around to their rear to outflank them.

At this time, it was obviously too late to learn about the movements of the Dongjiang Army's cavalry battalion, but Huang Taiji did not show much surprise. After all, he had taken precautions from the beginning, and he coldly instructed the heralds: "Inform the elders of the tribes, inform them, it's time for them to behave." ”

"Yes, Great Khan!" The herald hurriedly saluted and hurried away.

Although the cavalry is powerful, especially in the grasslands of the Pingchuan River, it can be said to be a sharp weapon that determines the outcome of a war. But cavalry and archery have always been the strength of the Jin Kingdom, and Huang Taiji can think of some ways to deal with the cavalry of the Dongjiang Army at will. And at this moment, Huang Taiji was not only satisfied with repelling the cavalry of the Dongjiang Army, he also conspired with the elders of those tribes to take back the war horses that belonged to them.

Huang Taiji's idea is crazy, but it is not impossible, and this time it is only the civilians of the Jin Kingdom who meet the cavalry, and the real soldiers have now been put into the battlefield, and there is no spare strength to come to help.
