After a long talk, Mao Wenlong, Cheng Zuo and Chen Jisheng realized that they had committed a big taboo, which would lead to this painful lesson. Fortunately, it's not too late to wake up.

Knowing that the other side can survive a hundred battles, Mao Wenlong and their mistakes are wrong, and before they fully understand the whole of Huang Taiji, they hurriedly fought with them. As a result, Huang Taiji's preparations in advance made Mao Wenlong and them suffer a lot of losses.

Now that he realized where his mistake was, Mao Wenlong naturally did not dare to act rashly until the hot air balloon came back that night to report. It is said that after the Jin soldiers retreated to a large tribe ten miles away and settled down, Mao Wenlong did not rush to send troops, but ordered to continue to monitor Huang Taiji's every move.

The advantage of hot air balloons is that they can monitor the enemy's every move from the air, which allows Mao Wenlong to know the movements of Jin Bing at any time. While waiting for the hot air balloon in the rear to come to support, while spying on the movements of the Jin soldiers, at this point, Mao Wenlong and they settled down again.

After Huang Taiji learned that the Dongjiang army did not attack again, he immediately ordered a small force of soldiers and horses to harass the camp of the Dongjiang army. wanted to repeat the old tricks to provoke the Dongjiang Army to fight, but unfortunately, this time Mao Wenlong was determined not to be fooled, and let the Jin soldiers continue to harass, the Dongjiang Army just didn't fight.

More than ten days of continuous harassment did not achieve any results, which made Huang Taiji very angry and helpless. If the Dongjiang Army did not take the initiative to fight, the ambushes he had prepared earlier would not be able to play their due role.

And those Jin soldiers who were sent to harass the Dongjiang Army were also killed one after another during this period, and if they continued, Huang Taiji had already realized that he would only suffer a loss.

Having suspended the tactics of continuing to harass, Huang Taiji had to find another way to let the Dongjiang Army take the initiative. In the face of the defended Dongjiang army, Huang Taiji had no way to start, and only when the two sides were in a scuffle, it was possible for the Jin soldiers to choose an opportunity to calculate.

"Do you have a way to lure the Dongjiang Army to take the initiative?" Facing more than a dozen generals in the big tent, Huang Taiji opened his mouth to express the confusion in his heart.

There was still silence in the big tent, and no one stood up to give Huang Taiji advice. In this regard, Huang Taiji was very angry in his heart, and secretly scolded these people for being rice buckets. But it is useless to lose his temper at these subordinates, it will only discourage their enthusiasm, and Huang Taiji has no choice but to put away the unhappiness in his heart.

After disbanding a group of subordinates, Huang Taiji only took the two henchmen and deputy generals beside him to the outside of the big tent, and looked at the two hot air balloons floating in the distance with binoculars. He frowned and said, "Why don't you shoot those two things down?" ”

A lieutenant replied: "Great Khan, those hot air balloons are very vigilant, we have tried several times." As soon as our giant crossbows approached, they slipped away, and when we withdrew, they reappeared, and there was really nothing they could do. ”

Since the Dongjiang Army knew that Huang Taiji had a giant crossbow that could threaten them, they naturally would no longer be stupid enough to make themselves targets and be slaughtered by others!

Huang Taiji asked in a dark voice: "Since they have withdrawn the giant crossbow and they will come back, then why should they withdraw the giant crossbow?" Wouldn't it be all right to place the giant crossbow on our perimeter? ”

I don't understand such a simple reason, and at this moment, Huang Taiji seriously doubts whether the brains of these subordinates are all funny.

In fact, these subordinates were obviously not as unbearable as Huang Taiji thought, and only listened to the previous lieutenant general explain: "Great Khan, we have tried to do this, but there are still many cavalry on the ground outside. Once our crossbows are discovered, the cavalry will then attack quickly, and for this we have lost several crossbows in a row. ”

After listening to this explanation, Huang Taiji suddenly came over, but this also made him realize that Mao Wenlong was preparing to fight a protracted battle with him this time. And this is the last thing Huang Taiji wants to see.

"We can't afford a war of attrition!" Suddenly, Huang Taiji opened his mouth and sighed.

The two henchmen and lieutenant generals heard full of sorrow from Huang Taiji's tone, Jin Bing is currently eating his old book, and the food is okay, after all, the grazing sheep alone is enough to support them for a long time. But people don't just have to fill their stomachs to live, some necessary trace elements will affect the health of Jin Bing for a long time. For example, there is almost no salt on the grassland, which is the material they must obtain from the Ming Dynasty.

There is also tea, which is especially needed for the health of herders because they eat meat every day. And these things need to be obtained from Daming, and only Daming has enough supplies of these things.

The Jin State has always had the reason to occupy the Ming Dynasty, and it can be said that it can occupy a large part of the reason in terms of material demand. After all, as long as they occupy Daming, they don't need to worry about these things in the future.

"Great Khan, what shall we do in the future?" The adjutant general didn't dare to speak out, but just asked euphemistically.

Huang Taiji walked back and forth, stopped suddenly, stared at the two lieutenant generals, and said coldly: "We can't go on like this, if the Dongjiang Army doesn't take the initiative to attack, we will take the initiative to attack." ”

The two lieutenants were stunned for a moment when they heard this, and they knew that taking the initiative to attack meant that the ambush they had made earlier was useless. Originally, the Jin soldiers were not the opponents of the Dongjiang Army, and it was by relying on unexpected ambushes that they were able to fight with the Dongjiang Army. If this is to directly take the initiative to attack, wouldn't it put Jin Bing in an unfavorable situation?

"Think again, Great Khan." After the two lieutenants glanced at each other, the two of them persuaded Huang Taiji in unison.

Huang Taiji's face; Showing a look of displeasure, he asked in a dark voice: "Besides, do you have any other way?" ”

The two lieutenants were speechless for a moment, and they looked at each other. In fact, as Huang Taiji said, they really had no other way to compete with the Dongjiang Army. There may still be a chance to let go and fight, but if they continue to consume like this, the only thing waiting for them will be destruction.

Huang Taiji immediately summoned all the generals again, and after a final discussion, they finally reached a consensus and changed defense to attack. The Jin Bing battalion began to assemble soldiers and horses, and the frequent movements were instantly known by the Dongjiang Army watching from afar.

When the news reached Mao Wenlong, he was worried. At present, the hot air balloon has not yet arrived, and with the power in hand at this moment, it is obviously impossible to end this war with the least casualties. But considering that Huang Taiji's initiative is enough to prove that Huang Taiji can no longer be consumed, this discovery made Mao Wenlong feel a lot more relieved. Huang Taiji is afraid of consumption, so Mao Wenlong can not fight at all, and continue to consume with Huang Taiji.
