Thanks to their long-standing battle, they knew that the best way to face the artillery fire from the mountains was to hide at the foot of the mountain, so that on the one hand, the artillery fire could not be hit, and on the other hand, if the order from above was given to attack, they could act quickly.

It's just that under the heavy bombardment of this artillery fire, the elephants they were proud of were completely gone, and at least four or five thousand soldiers were killed and wounded.

At the rear of the line, he was lucky enough to escape the Ming artillery bombardment - the line of 50,000 people was too long, and the Ming artillery could not reach him.

But after the news came from the front, Ta Long was still shocked in distress.

Eight hundred elephant soldiers, this is a trump card in his hand, he didn't expect to be defeated so easily.

There are now three paths before him.

One is to withdraw troops and then make plans.

The second was to besiege the Ming army at the foot of the mountain.

The third is to immediately attack the mountain and fight a decisive battle with the Ming army in the mountains.

The first of these roads was not his original intention, he came this time to find Qin Shuhuai's main force and fight him in a decisive battle. If it drags on, after Li Dingguo's troops break through the Xidang River, he will face a two-sided attack, and the situation will be even worse.

The second path is even less realistic. Because this mountain range is dozens of miles long, how can he besiege it?

Then the last one remains, and immediately attack the mountain.

Ta Long believes that when it comes to mountain warfare, the Dongwu people dare to admit the second, and no one dares to recognize the first!

There are many mountains in Dongwu, which Dongwu people have never been on the mountain? Which Dongwu soldier has never fought on the mountain?

The mountain is the home of the Dongwu people!

Therefore, he immediately ordered that this part of the army, which survived the bombardment of the Ming army, is now hiding at the foot of the mountain, about 5,000 people, are on standby, and when they see the signal, they will immediately attack the mountain from the bottom up.

The part of about 10,000 troops that had already passed through the ambush area of the Ming army at the front of the team went up the mountain road from the south side, and waited for the signal after going up the mountain.

The 30,000 troops who were originally at the back of the team and had not yet entered the ambush area of the Ming army left 10,000 as reserves, and the remaining 20,000 immediately went up the mountain from the north.

Talong's intentions were obvious, he hoped to encircle the Ming army from the south, north, and center.

The east side deliberately set aside was a trap he set for the Ming army. Because the east side is not only steep, but also a depression after going down, once the Ming army enters the depression, then his army can catch turtles in the urn, and it is better to fight.

The orders were issued one by one, and soon the Dongwu soldiers were all in action.

The Ming army is a veteran of ambushes, and of course they have been prepared for this situation, and they are happy to hear it.

I was thinking of rushing down while the chaos was going on, but I didn't expect the other party to take the initiative to send it to the door, which is much easier.

You must know that the Demon Sect Houtu Banner is in order to prevent the other party from rushing up, but he has been busy for a day and a night, and everyone is still thinking that these guys are really idle, and they may not be able to use it for so long a day.

But now it's good, and it's really used.

After observing the distribution of the opponent's troops, Qin Shuhuai ordered Zu Dashou to lead 5,000 people to block about 10,000 Wu soldiers who went up the mountain from the south.

Zhang Xiao led 7,000 men to deploy defenses in the north, mainly to deal with the main force of Dongwu coming from the north.

The remaining three or four thousand people, led by Qin Shuhuai himself, were used to deal with the group of about 5,000 black soldiers who were still in the circle from the west, that is, who were currently cowering at the foot of the mountain.

All arrangements stopped, everyone immediately took action, and found the defensive position that had been explored before - it is right to say that the thick soil flag is not idle, after the army went up the mountain, they had already felt the terrain here clearly, where it was dangerous and easy to defend, where it was possible to retreat, where it could be hidden, that was called a door.

About two quarters of an hour later, the Dongwu army was also deployed, and then the fireworks signal was raised.

The Ukrainian army in Sammyeondong had already arrived at the predetermined position, and immediately began to close the siege after seeing the signal.

The more than 3,700 people led by Qin Shuhuai were extremely calm when they saw the Dongwu soldiers rushing up from the bottom of the mountain as agile as apes.

They lay easily behind rocks or covers, and whispered teasing.

"Look, I'll just say that the cave soldiers are monkeys, and they go up the mountain faster than any monkey. ”

"Monkeys? Have you ever seen monkeys, our monkeys in Mount Emei don't walk aisles at all, they all fly in trees. ”

"Seriously, is your Mount Emei as big as our Qingcheng Mountain?"

"I'm going to be big, won't you know if you go another day? ”

"Okay, then it's decided, then try your Emei Sanhua wine. ”

"Enough! hehe. ”

While people from other sects were chatting nonsense, the Five Elements Banner of the Demon Sect and the Copycat Five Elements Banner of the River Gang were already busy.

Baskets of thunderbolts, buckets of green water, and oil were pushed to the forefront, and at the same time, about two hundred crossbowmen and two hundred birdmen were also in place.

After waiting for more than a quarter of an hour, the more than 1,000 Wu soldiers at the forefront finally climbed to a distance of only twenty or thirty meters from the Ming army's position.

With the order of Wu Lie, the Flame Banner, the thunderbolt was the first to strike.

There are two hundred Demon Sect Flame Banners left here, and there are also two hundred Flame Banners of the River Gang Cottage, which means that at a certain moment, four hundred thunderbolts just went out.

Snort, boom!

The thunderbolt with the tail of fire drew countless arcs, and when it landed, it exploded with a bang. Explosions after explosions, loud noises covered loud bangs, soft earth trembling madly in the smoke, and even the heat wave could be felt in the air.

Almost all the places that could be seen by the eye were covered by explosions, and countless cave soldiers fell or fell in the sound of the explosion, or fell after flying, almost every explosion can overturn a group of people, and these people who were overturned must be drenched in blood, with severed limbs everywhere, and a tragic end.

This group of cave soldiers had just recovered from the bombardment of artillery, but now they encountered a thunderbolt like raindrops, and they began to be stunned again.

It's not stupid, it's afraid!

They deeply felt that they had just crawled out of hell and were now back in hell.

Horror and despair are spreading.

These 400 thunderbolts killed and injured at least five or six hundred black soldiers - these black soldiers may not have seen thunderbolts, and they still used the old-fashioned dense charging method when charging, if it weren't for the dense trees in the forest to block a lot of thunder for them, I'm afraid that the whole army could be declared wiped out by now.

The cave soldiers in front of them were afraid, some ran back desperately, some lay on the ground deadly, and some hid behind trees, saying that they didn't dare to rush forward.

The commander of Dongwu in the back was furious, and immediately organized a firing squad, who dared to cower and escape from the battle to correct the law on the spot.

After killing a few deserters, the situation finally improved.

The commander of Dongwu continued to direct the charge, hoping to rush to the Ming position in one fell swoop and engage them in hand-to-hand combat.

However, the second wave of the charge met the same fate, and before it could rush up, it was blown back by a thunderbolt.

But the Dong Wu soldiers did not stop, and soon organized a third, larger charge.

At least 2,000 Ukrainian soldiers participated in this charge, and there was a lot of darkness as far as the eye could see. And this time they are much smarter, the formation is more scattered, once a thunderbolt comes over, immediately find a tree to cover, and wait for the thunder to explode before continuing to rush.
