Chapter 687: Mountains and rivers are exhausted, and there is no way out

One wrong step and one wrong step, Chen Jisheng will be anxious, regretful, and annoyed that all kinds of negative emotions fill his entire head. Seeing that his reputation was about to be ruined in the cattle and sheep on the grassland, he wanted to die.

It doesn't matter if the regular army can't defeat the civilians, if it is lost in the hands of these beasts, imagine if he Chen Jisheng can stay in the army in the future? A strong sense of crisis came to his face, so Chen Jisheng had to rack his brains to find a way to solve the siege?

The main force of the Dongjiang Army has been fighting with the Jin soldiers, and there is obviously no way to come to the rescue, but there seems to be no other way than relying on the main force to rescue? Chen Jisheng was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, and at this time, an adjutant general reminded him: "General, why don't we send a signal to ask those hot air balloons to come and relieve us?" ”

Chen Jisheng was overjoyed when he heard this, slapped his head hard, and yelled anxiously: "Then what are you waiting for, send a signal immediately!" ”

A rocket explodes in the air, quickly catching the attention of the dangling hot air balloon. When they saw the situation on Chen Jisheng's side, they immediately didn't say a word, and flew over with more than a dozen hot air balloons.

Facing the galloping herd of cattle and sheep below, more than a dozen explosive bags were thrown down, and after exploding, they immediately changed the direction of the cattle and sheep. Chen Jisheng and they were also able to resolve the crisis of fighting with cattle and sheep.

The herdsmen who stayed at the back saw that they could not do anything, and when they did not delay any longer, they turned around and ran. Seeing those herdsmen scatter in a hurry, Chen Jisheng at this moment no longer dared to chase and kill, and after bypassing the place full of trapped horse pits, he rushed directly to the main battlefield.

Mao Wenlong didn't know what happened to Chen Jisheng, and he was also facing a difficult choice at the moment. The Dongjiang Army and the Jin soldiers fought together, resulting in the hot air balloon in the air not being able to play its due role and becoming a useless ornament. Not to mention the delay of the fighters, it also plunged the Dongjiang Army into hand-to-hand combat, and the casualties increased exponentially, testing Mao Wenlong's mental endurance at all times.

If this kind of hand-to-hand fight continues, the two sides will inevitably lose a lose-lose situation, and even if the winner is finally separated, the winning side will inevitably have to pay a heavy price. The 200,000 veterans in front of him are the only trump card in Mao Wenlong's hands, and if they are lost in this war, it will inevitably affect the follow-up.

It's not that you don't fight, it's not that you don't fight, Mao Wenlong is suffering in pain. At this time, the thunderous sound of horses' hooves finally appeared, which shocked Mao Wenlong's spirit, and the cavalry battalion finally came!

Chen Jisheng, who arrived smoothly, was furious in his heart, and the previous setbacks made them feel very aggrieved, and this will finally be killed. Without saying a word, he rushed into the battlefield brandishing his saber.

The arrival of the cavalry battalion greatly boosted the morale of the Dongjiang Army, and at the same time greatly reduced the morale of the Jin soldiers.

Huang Taiji frowned, and Jin Bing's situation took a sharp turn, forcing him to consider retreating. The failure of blocking the cavalry battalion was indeed beyond his expectations, and the thorough preparation allowed the Dongjiang Army to successfully break the siege.

"Great Khan, we must retreat first." A general spoke to the silent Huang Taiji.

"Are you ready to make arrangements on the way back?" Huang Taiji asked in a deep voice.

"Great Khan, everything has been properly arranged!" The general said again.

"Withdraw!" After Huang Taiji dropped his words, he immediately turned his horse's head and left first.

After the general hurriedly watched Huang Taiji leave, he ordered the horn of retreat to be sounded, and the whining horn immediately echoed in the fierce battlefield. The Jin soldiers immediately retreated like a tide, without the slightest love.

The retreat of the Jin soldiers relieved Mao Wenlong, and after the Dongjiang army caught up for about a mile, Mao Wenlong ordered that he should not pursue again. Just sent a hot air balloon to monitor the movements of the Jin soldiers.

Chengzuo began to clean up the battlefield and count the casualties, while Chen Jisheng hurriedly ran to Mao Wenlong, knelt on the ground all of a sudden, and pleaded guilty to Mao Wenlong with red eyes.

Mao Wenlong unexpectedly did not have any words to scold Chen Jisheng this time, he got off the war horse and personally held up Chen Jisheng and said: "Needless to say, it is not a bad thing to suffer a loss, as long as you remember this lesson in the future, don't do it again." ”

didn't expect Mao Wenlong to comfort himself, and Chen Jisheng suddenly became even more ashamed. If Mao Wenlong scolded him directly, maybe he would feel better.

"Chief soldier......" As soon as Chen Jisheng's body sank, he had to kneel down again.

Mao Wenlong glared at him sharply, and said viciously: "Young mother-in-law, it's not the time to blame yourself, help clean up the battlefield immediately." The conquest of the grassland has just begun, and Huang Taiji has not yet taken it. ”

When it came to this, Chen Jisheng naturally didn't dare to be hypocritical, and after saying goodbye to Mao Wenlong, he took his subordinates to join the inventory of the battlefield. After half a day, Cheng Zuo counted the casualties, which made him very sad, and came to Mao Wenlong's side with a gloomy face.

"General soldier, we lost 10,000 soldiers and thousands were wounded in this battle. Five of the guns were damaged, and the ammunition was fairly adequate. Although the casualties of the Jin soldiers are almost twice as many as ours, if we continue to consume them like this in the future, we will not get any advantage even if we win the battle. Cheng Zuo said with a heavy heart.

"More than 10,000 people ......" Hearing this casualty figure, Mao Wenlong suddenly became heavy.

The casualties were still more than he had estimated, and he had a little less confidence in the rest of the battle. At this moment, Mao Wenlong couldn't help but have the idea of retreating in his heart.

Cheng Zuo seemed to see Mao Wenlong's hesitation, and he arched his hand and said: "Chief soldier, do we still want to continue fighting?" Although Huang Taiji was defeated, the main force of the Jin soldiers did not suffer a heavy blow. They still have enough deterrent power against us, and if we continue to fight, we must first make a greater casualty estimate. ”

Mao Wenlong frowned, if he gave up halfway at this time, it would mean that the people who sacrificed before were sacrificed in vain. The situation is not at worst, and you can't afford to retreat like this in any case.

"Hit, there's no turning back for us anyway. It's just that if we want to fight, we can't let the soldiers fall into the same predicament as before. Immediately give an order to Jiayuguan and ask them to send more hot air balloons to support as soon as possible. ”

Mao Wenlong has realized that he can no longer fight such an unprepared tough battle. The Jin soldiers were no better than any of the forces they had encountered before, and their combat power and determination far exceeded Mao Wenlong's estimates.

After hearing this, Cheng Zuo immediately understood Mao Wenlong's thinking, the Dongjiang Army's good trump card, but in the end it became a useless ornament. The killer feature of the hot air balloon is empty, but it is not used, and it is natural to use your own shortcomings to compete with the strengths of the golden soldiers.
