Baili Wuji has the heart to give up this unorthodox plan, he doesn't want to continue this matter and become a joke to tarnish his great achievements in this life.

But the few guards who came back didn't want to give up, and they begged Baili Wuji to let them carry out this plan.

One of the leading guards said to Baili Wuji: "Your Majesty, in the armory, we have trained no less than dozens of times, and we have some confidence in the rise of the balloon, the throwing of the gunpowder bag, and the correction of the direction. In order to have a low hit rate, the armory specially added a layer of one-inch thick pieces of broken iron to the gunpowder bag, as long as the explosion sounded, these fingertip-sized angular pieces of broken iron would scatter in all directions, which could make up for the disadvantages of low hit rate. We have witnessed the power of the explosion of this hundred-pound gunpowder packet, and we can say that within a radius of one mile, no more than twenty percent of the survivors can survive. And the three hot air balloons set off at the same time, the probability is much higher, even if it can't hit the commander of the Liao army, as long as it falls in the dense place of the Liao army, the damage to the soldiers of the Liao army is also huge. ”

Baili Wuji shook his head and said: "Even if it can kill and injure thousands of people, for the nearly 600,000 Liao army, it is only a drop in the bucket, and it will not have much impact on the battle situation." Also, if this hot air balloon falls into the hands of the Liao army, I am afraid that something unexpected will happen, and I don't want to make the battle situation unexpected. Besides, once you take off, you can't control where you are going to go, and I'm afraid that you will die a lifetime ....... ”

The pro-guard said urgently: "The emperor allows us to try hard, if we can exchange hundreds or even thousands of enemy lives, why is it not worth it?" As for the emperor's worries about the hot air balloon falling into the hands of the enemy, I will wait before the hot air balloon. Each of them brought a torch, and if something happened to him, he would burn it before it fell. I'll wait if I'm lucky. Because of this, killing the enemy chief will not only be able to influence the situation of the battle, but also leave a name in the history of the Ming Kingdom, why not? I implore the emperor to fulfill it. ”

After speaking, the team leader immediately knelt down at the feet of Baili Wuji.

"I beg the emperor to fulfill it." And several of the guards who came with them also knelt down with the leader.

Baili Wuji has an inexplicable emotion in his heart, and also an inexplicable sadness. He knew that Yang Ting's words were right, exchanging three people for hundreds or even thousands. It's also very cost-effective, but for your own heart, is it really cost-effective? Baili Wuji knows that war always kills people. I can only try my best to let the people I am familiar with, close to, and reluctant to live, and these people in front of me are the people I am familiar with, close to, and reluctant to give up.

"Yang Tingshi, you take them down first. I think again. Think about ...... again. Baili Wuji shook his right hand gently.

"Your Majesty ......." Yang Tingshi still needs to be persuaded again.

Baili Wuji frowned and shouted softly: "Go out." ”

Yang Tingshi and the others didn't dare to say anything more, so they could only retreat.

……。

On the eighth day of the fifth month, the Liao army launched a general offensive without the slightest warning.

Thousands of catapults began to be thrown intensively on the north bank of the Huang River, like rain of stones smashed the Ming army's south bank defense line fortifications, only the earth and stone stacked fortifications could not withstand the bombardment of boulders, only a pillar of incense, the Ming army front has been fragmented.

The Ming army did not expect the 600,000-strong Liao army to launch a general offensive so quietly. There were only vigilant troops in the fortifications, so there were not many dead and wounded in the Ming army. It was also because of the surprise that Bailiyi did not have time to order the artillery to suppress the catapult in time, so that the fortifications on the south bank were destroyed.

When Bailiyi ordered the artillery to counterattack and suppress the frantic launch of the catapult on the north bank, the catapult on the north bank quickly adjusted the bombardment target and threw it at the surface of the Huang River, and in an instant, countless boulders poured into the Huang River.

And when the Ming artillery fired intensively to suppress the catapults on the opposite bank, the Liao army insisted on the catapult bombardment as if it were dead, and often the stones were thrown and covered by the Ming artillery, but the catapults on the side were still stubbornly thrown.

It was not until the artillery suppressed for almost half an hour and the catapults on the north bank were blown up more than eighty percent that the remaining catapults began to retreat.

At this time, the area of the Huang River, which was not deep, was filled by huge stones in this half an hour, and at a glance, there was still the appearance of a river, which was not much different from the river beach, and the stones had been exposed to the water in some places.

Countless Liao soldiers began to pour out at this time and launched an attack on the south bank. This group of Liao soldiers was a little different, their boots on their feet had become huge, and the boots were wrapped in two layers of fur, presumably to prevent being stabbed by gravel under their feet during the attack. And they had no weapons in their hands, and the two men carried a bag of sand and dumped into the river as they went, but they only rushed to the middle of the river and stopped when they were about to enter the range of the Ming army's muskets.

The muskets of the Ming army were out of reach, and the barrels of the artillery had already been red, so they could not suppress these Liao troops, so they could only watch the Liao army fill the river.

Hundreds of thousands of Liao soldiers traveled back and forth between these tens of zhang, and it was only a matter of time before this section of the river was filled in.

As soon as the Ming army went forward to attack, the Liao army retreated like a retreat, but it fell as it retreated.

As long as the Ming army entered the vicinity of the Liao army's bow and crossbow, the Liao army immediately fired arrows to force the Ming army back.

The two armies were involved in this way, but the Huang River on the side of the Liao army had gradually been filled.

In desperation, Baili Yi reported to Baili Wuji: "Dalang, if half of the Huanghe River is filled, then the Liao army will advance the front by more than ten zhang, and then their bows and crossbows will be able to shoot at the Ming army, and our army will lose its long-range advantage." I want to order Ah Ren's special operations army to come forward and stop the Liao army from filling the river. What does Da Lang think? ”

Baili Wuji frowned slightly and said: "Don't worry too much about the predicament in front of you, Brother Yelu Xiu is such a big hand, there must be a follow-up, from the battlefield, Brother Yelu Xiu only dispatched about 200,000 troops, and some army movements have not yet been shown, if the special operations army is pressed up at this time, it will be very passive." ”

Baili Yi said: "Then watch the Liao army fill the river?" It's time to ....... ”

Baili Wuji glared and said, "What? Didn't my new army dare to meet the bayonets of the Liao army except for shooting? ”

Baili Yi was stunned for a moment, he originally wanted to think about how to avoid the losses of the new army as much as possible, perhaps affected by the idea that Baili Wuji had been emphasizing reducing losses, but seeing that Baili Wuji rarely spoke to himself in such a stern tone, Baili Yi hurriedly said: "I know, Da Lang, don't worry, if the Liao army dares to rush up, I will lead the new army to drive them down the river again." ”

Seeing Baili Yi go away, Baili Wuji's heart also began to be confused, where is the main attack position of Yelu Xiuge? (To be continued......)
