Chapter 689: On the Eve of the Storm

Huang Taiji decided to make the first move, naturally he would not delay it any longer, and gathered all the soldiers and horses on the same day, repelled the cavalry of the Dongjiang Army who came to harass, and then waved his division straight to the base camp of the Dongjiang Army.

Mao Wenlong learned about it as soon as possible, and according to the plan, he only defended and did not fight. Using the hot air balloons in the air and the muskets and artillery on the ground to form an iron wall, no matter how hard Huang Taiji tried his best, he could not break through such a line of defense.

However, the subordinates who suffered a lot of casualties for this reason, seeing that Mao Wenlong was stubbornly defending and not facing the battle, and if this continued, Yu Jinbing was greatly disadvantaged. Huang Taiji had to order a temporary truce before dusk and no more unnecessary sacrifices.

When night fell, the two armies were five hundred meters apart, and no one could help anyone, but the Dongjiang army was very leisurely, while Huang Taiji's side began to be impatient. Every day of delay increases the possibility of failure, and he can't help but be in a hurry.

In the tent of the golden soldier's camp, the lights were bright, and the brazier was burning high flames, and the crackling flames were jumping non-stop. Just like the mood of everyone in the big tent at this moment, it is just as uneasy.

Huang Taiji's face was gloomy, his eyes roamed over the faces of his subordinates, and it had been almost an hour since he summoned these guys to discuss how to solve the current predicament, but no one had given a feasible solution. This made Huang Taiji's already anxious mood more and more unhappy, if he could, he didn't mind pulling the two out to teach a lesson.

"After all this time, don't you have anything to say?" Huang Taiji finally suppressed the unhappiness in his heart and said coldly.

The sound echoed in the big tent, and still no one stood up to speak, and the atmosphere became more and more heavy. All the generals present did not dare to breathe, they all knew in their hearts that Huang Taiji was on the verge of an outbreak at the moment, but they did not dare to stand up and speak, and they all hoped that others would stand up first.

"Smack!" Huang Taiji, who couldn't bear it anymore, was finally furious, slapped his palm on the chair fiercely, and the armrest broke in response, and the huge sound frightened the generals' bodies trembling slightly.

Huang Taiji's prestige among these subordinates is quite sufficient, and no one has ever dared to be presumptuous in front of him. But this also leads to no one daring to tell the truth in front of him, and even many times, in such a scene of discussing things, no one dares to take the initiative to make any suggestions.

"Wanyan Erhu, you start talking first." Seeing that no one dared to stand up and speak, the helpless Huang Taiji had no choice but to name himself.

Wanyan Erhu was originally the commander of the personal guards beside Huang Taiji, and it stands to reason that it is not his turn to participate in the war. But at this moment, Huang Taiji suddenly named him? Wanyan Erhu was stunned for a moment, and then he panicked out and hugged his fists and said: "Da Khan, Erhu's brain is not good, let me kill the enemy Erhu can fight five at a time, but if I want to use my brain, Da Khan might as well cut off my head directly." ”

A mouth is a full muddy man, but it is also the truth. When everyone heard Erhu's words, they secretly laughed in their hearts, and they were looking forward to Huang Taiji's anger coming to Erhu.

However, accidents are always everywhere, and Wanyan Erhu was not tamed by Huang Taiji in the end, but saw that Huang Taiji just snorted lightly, and waved his hand to signal him to retreat. All the generals were very confused at the moment, and they didn't understand what Huang Taiji was doing at all?

Huang Taiji fixed his eyes on the generals, staring at the Jurchen generals with sharp eyes, and snorted coldly: "Aguda, tell me, how can we make the Dongjiang army meet the battle now?" ”

Aguda was stunned for a moment, and quickly reacted, where did he not understand at this moment, just now Huang Taiji deliberately singled out Erhu, a muscular but brainless man, which was completely paving the way for the next power.

Aguda didn't dare to imagine that he also had the same treatment as the Second Tiger, and it was estimated that as long as he dared to say the same thing as the Second Tiger, his military power would be handed over immediately. Aguda didn't dare to make a mistake, but he had to stand up and answer, he hesitated for a moment, and said stubbornly: "Great Khan, judging from the reaction of the Dongjiang army now, they obviously expected that we would not be able to delay, so they resolutely did not meet the battle. ”

Huang Taiji finally heard some suggestive words, his face softened a little, and motioned for Aguda to continue. With Huang Taiji's encouragement, Aguda also felt a lot more calm, and after a pause, he continued: "After the Dongjiang Army sees through our intentions, it will only be detrimental to us if we continue to consume like this......

Aguda paused again and said in a deep voice: "My subordinates think that instead of going on like this and increasing casualties, it is better to put aside all concerns and really fight with the Dongjiang Army." ”

A look of hesitation flashed on Huang Taiji's face, and he quietly glanced at the others, seeing that they nodded frequently one by one. Obviously, they all agreed with Aguda's suggestion, knowing that there was no better way to ask any more, so Huang Taiji simply withdrew everyone and left himself alone in the big tent to ponder.

In the camp of the Dongjiang Army, Mao Wenlong also convened the generals in the army to discuss, and the discussion here was lively. Mao Wenlong has always encouraged his subordinates to speak actively, and even if they say something wrong, they will never blame anyone, so every time they discuss the matter, all the generals will say whatever they want, and they have never had so many scruples.

Listening to his subordinates shouting and shouting below for almost an hour, but there was no result, Mao Wenlong raised his hand a little boredly, and waited until the big tent was quiet, and then he opened his mouth and asked Chen Jisheng: "Has the Tanma who went to ask for reinforcements come back?" ”

Chen Jisheng hurriedly said: "There has been news just now, and we will be able to arrive early tomorrow morning." ”

Hearing this, Mao Wenlong's depressed mood finally became more cheerful: "Then there is nothing to worry about, as long as the hot air balloon arrives tomorrow, it will be the time for us to launch a general attack." You all remember, don't be greedy, take it one step at a time. If anyone dares to mess around this time, there is no emotion to talk about, and the punishment that should be punished will not be lenient. ”

More than a dozen generals immediately looked serious, and they all got up and assured Mao Wenlong that nothing would go wrong.

Seeing this, Mao Wenlong nodded with satisfaction and said, "Okay, it's not early at night, let's go down and take a look, and if there is no problem, we will rest early." Tomorrow is the time for us to counterattack, and you are all ready for success or failure. ”

"Yes, Commander!" Everyone responded in unison, and then retreated one after another.

"Three hundred hot air balloons, Huang Taiji, this time I want to see how you resist!" Mao Wenlong stood at the door of the big tent, looking in the direction of the Jin Bing camp in front of him, muttering in his mouth.
