Chapter 677: Evenly matched

There is no doubt that the Dongjiang Army is strong, but the enemy army is not vegetarian, and the men and horses of the two armies are similar at the moment, because the Dongjiang Army has not been dispatched in its entirety. After all, the camp still needs to have enough soldiers and horses to stay behind to ensure the safety of the rear of the Dongjiang Army, and for this reason, Chengzuo directly left about 90,000 soldiers and horses.

With the two armies evenly matched, although the Jin soldiers suffered a fierce impact at the beginning, there was also a chaotic situation. But under the mobilization of Huang Taiji, it soon became orderly, and even began to counterattack the Dongjiang Army.

In the melee, Chen Jisheng began to pay attention to where the handsome flag in the Jin Bing position was. Capture the thief and capture the king first, as long as you find the location of Huang Taiji and kill Huang Taiji, you can end this battle. For this reason, Chen Jisheng has been under the escort of more than a dozen personal guards, rushing left and right among the enemy troops, forcibly tearing the position of the Jin soldiers to pieces, and constantly looking for the traces of Huang Taiji.

Because the cavalry has the help of war horses, the combat power is transcendent, and there are many enemies killed. On the other hand, the infantry of the Dongjiang Army was fighting with the Jin soldiers at this time, and it was difficult to distinguish each other, and the battle situation was tragic and abnormal. The large-scale casualties that Chengzuo most did not want to see were still uncontrollable.

This made Cheng Zuo very anxious, but in such a complicated situation, no matter how anxious he was, it would be useless. The only way to make up for it was to end the battle as soon as possible, however, the strength of the Jin soldiers was still unexpected by Chengzuo.

Jin Bing gradually stabilized from the decadent situation, and Huang Taiji also breathed a sigh of relief, relying on the bravery of the grassland children, he was stunned to change from passive to active. Not only withstood the onslaught of the Dongjiang Army, but also began to show signs of a counteroffensive.

Huang Taiji wasn't happy for long, and at this moment, less than two hundred meters behind him, a pair of eyes like wolves were staring at him. The owner of these eyes is Chen Jisheng, who has been looking for Huang Taiji, and the discovery of Huang Taiji made Chen Jisheng excited.

He desperately ordered the guards beside him to help him kill him. Along the way, chopping melons and vegetables opened a bloody road, Huang Taiji heard the movement behind him, and when he turned around, he saw a familiar figure, he did not show any fearful look, but with a sharp eye, he shouted, with two hundred guards, brandished his scimitar and rushed straight to kill Chen Jisheng.

"Ding......

At the same time as the sound of gold and iron rang out, little sparks were splashing everywhere, and Chen Jisheng and Huang Taiji immediately scuffled together. The personal guards of the two did not participate, but consciously cleared a small open space for the two to fight.

In ancient battles, heroism was even more admired, and as long as the general killed the hostile general, the killing side could almost declare victory. Those small soldiers will also be afraid, and morale will be affected, which will directly lead to the defeat of the army.

"Ding Ding Ding ......" A series of gold and iron resonances were endless, and everyone was in the blood of everyone.

Chen Jisheng and Huang Taiji directly passed more than a dozen moves, and the two of them were half a catty and eight taels, and no one could help anyone.

"Chen Jisheng, today is your death day." Huang Taiji turned the dock and rushed towards Chen Jisheng brandishing a scimitar.

"Don't be ashamed, watch Lao Tzu cut off your head." Chen Jisheng did not show weakness at all, and brandished his saber to face the battle.

Chen Jisheng and Huang Taiji fought inextricably on their side, but Chengzuo on the other side was not as smooth as Chen Jisheng's side. The strength of the Jin soldiers greatly surprised Cheng Zuo, seeing the people around him fall one after another, Cheng Zuo's eyes were already red, and he wished that he could kill all the enemy soldiers with one sword.

Although the Dongjiang Army has no possibility of losing at the moment, it still makes Chengzuo nervous, after all, if the casualties are too large, there is nothing to be happy about even if it wins in the end. There is nothing to be happy about if you hurt the enemy by 1,000 and lose 800 yourself.

"Pass the order, take a hundred steps back, and come up from the formation of the fire commander." Cheng Zuo's eyes were red and he began to change his tactics.

Under his mobilization, the Dongjiang Army was originally fighting with the Jin soldiers, but at this time it began to gradually retreat. And the five thousand fire commanders who had not yet participated in the battle outside, after receiving Chengzuo's order, they began to advance in great strides.

"Bang ......"

The gunfire of the musket array rang out continuously, and the Jin soldiers suddenly suffered heavy losses, and the momentum of rushing forward just now was paused, and then you pushed me and squeezed back, directly messing up the formation. The Dongjiang Army seized the opportunity to begin a merciless massacre, advancing.

Cheng Zuo finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, but before he could get excited, Jin Bing's shield soldiers suddenly quickly organized a defensive wall. Cheng Zuo immediately frowned, there was no way for the musket to shoot through those shields made of hardwood, which made the situation that had just improved fall into a stalemate again.

Before Cheng Zuo could think of a strategy to deal with it, at this time, behind the shield soldiers of the Jin soldiers, a rain of arrows suddenly shot out to cover the sky and the sun, and shot down towards the sky above the musket array.

The musketeers, who had no protection, were immediately killed and wounded by the rain of arrows, and the formation was even more disorganized because of this, and the pace of advance had stopped.

In the face of such a rain of arrows, Chengzuo suddenly found sad that in this confrontation, it seems that muskets are not as good as bows and arrows. Bows and arrows can be fired from behind the shieldbearer, while muskets obviously cannot be lethal to protected archers!

The muscles on his face twitched violently twice, and Cheng Zuo gritted his teeth and decided to risk using the hot air balloon. He immediately sent the order to let the hot air balloons that were waiting on the periphery rise into the air to deal a devastating blow to the golden soldiers.

Cheng Zuo knew in his heart that there was a strong crossbow in Jin Bing's position that could shoot down hot air balloons, but at this time he couldn't take care of it so much. As long as you can end this uneconomical war as soon as possible, it will be worth making some sacrifices!

The sudden retreat of the Dongjiang army made the Jin soldiers realize that something was wrong, and they did not dare to pursue. And while they were watching, they soon spotted the hot air balloon slowly rising into the sky. Jin Bing immediately rioted, and when this thing was powerful in Jiayuguan, they remembered it one by one.

Fortunately, it took a lot of time for the hot air balloon to take off, which just gave the golden soldiers enough time to react, and the strong crossbows that were protected in the army were quickly brought to the front of the golden soldiers' positions.

When Cheng Zuo saw those huge strong crossbows, he immediately frowned, no wonder the previous hot air balloon would be shot down, it turned out that there was such an artifact. At this time, Cheng Zuo only reacted, but he was also afraid that the hot air balloon would be hit.

"If the order goes down, the hot air balloon will rise directly above 600 meters, and you must not leave anything to chance." Cheng Zuo, who couldn't rest assured, immediately gave another order.

600 meters is the current limit height of the hot air balloon, otherwise, Chengzuo still wants to make the hot air balloon rise a little higher.
