"Master Bell, we are defeated!" A white-armored soldier ran back and knelt in front of Sahalian, "Mr. Schilling was also killed!"

"You are all the most elite warriors in my Great Jin Kingdom. How could you be defeated by those lowly Han dogs?"

"Beller, Mingdogs are all elite and have terrain advantages. They set up ambush above the path, but we couldn't get past it, so we could only detour from the side. Who knew that Mingdog was ambushing in the jungle and attacking us from a high point. We fought to repel Mingdog and chased Mingdog, but we were ambushed again. Lord Shilin also died at the hands of Mingdog." The white-armored soldier knelt on the ground and cried.

"Then why are you back?" Sahalian asked.

"Mr. Xilin and our troops were divided into two groups. He personally led most of his brothers to attack Minggou's back. Unexpectedly, he encountered a fu on the way. The slaves were waiting head-on and heard the sound of guns on the hillside. We knew that he had encountered a fu on the back and wanted to rush to reinforce. Who knew that there were many Minggou on the mountain, and the slaves were going to die in vain when they went there, so they had to come back to report."

"How many elite Mingdog has set up an ambush?"

"About one hundred people."

A Meleezhen next to him said, "Master Bell, why don't we all abandon our horses and break out from the mountains together. There are only a hundred Mingdogs, and our army has 3,000. If we break out from the mountains, we will definitely be able to block Mingdogs."

"The vanguards of our troops are all elite heavy cavalry of Aliha Chaoha camp, most of which are warriors of Yehe's troops, and are not good at fighting in the mountains. If we abandon our horses and enter the mountains, wouldn't we use our army to attack Mingdo's strengths? Since Mingdo has left elite troops to guard us in the mountains, they will inevitably report the news when they see us coming. Once they receive a signal, they will mobilize troops to block the enemy. The terrain in the mountains is complex, and there are many dangerous places where a man can pass through thousands of men. Once our troops enter the mountains, their formations are scattered and they are attacked by Mingdo. How can we resist?" Sahalian shook his head and said.

"Master Beller, then what should we do?"

"Standing on the support! Humph! I don't believe that my elder brother won't come to save us!"

In Yungaishan Village, Li Guodong, who had been in charge of fierce fighting for a whole day, sat in the tent and took a nap.

"General, the Tartars gave up their attack and retreated into the middle of the valley." Someone came to report.

Li Guodong immediately sent a firework signal and ordered Ye Busuo, who was ambushed in the mountains on both sides, to pay attention to the movements of the Later Jin army at any time. Soon after, Ye Busuo sent someone to report that Jiannu entered the center of the valley to rest and did not seem to have any intention of attack.

"Jiannu must be defending and waiting for assistance. It is estimated that it will take three or four days for Yuetuo's army to arrive. These Tartars are in a hurry and there is not much food and grass. We will starve them for a few days. If Yuetuo comes to attack Han Dashan, the Jiannu who is trapped in the valley will inevitably attack Han Dashan's camp. At that time, our cavalry will attack from behind the Tartars, and they will definitely break it in one sentence." Li Guodong analyzed the situation and said.

There were also road-exploring on the outside of the valley. Through the control of battlefield intelligence, Li Guodong learned that Yuetuo's army was still two days away from Han Dashan. At present, Yuetuo did not know that his younger brother had been trapped in the valley and had not sent troops to rescue him for the time being. When Yuetuo knew the news and sent troops to come, it would take three to four days no matter how much.

"Since the Tartars gave up their attacks and wanted to rest, then we cannot let them rest with peace of mind and find something for them! Let Jiannu not lie on the ground, let them move, and consume some energy, and their stomachs will be hungry! The food will be consumed faster." Li Guodong came up with a way to consume food faster in the Later Jin army.

Two mortar cannons are the best harassment weapons. The 64-pound mortar cannons are light and light. Each cannon is only more than 200 kilograms. Four people can carry it into the mountain area. Eight people carry it in two groups in turn and carry the mortar cannons to the hills on both sides of the valley.

The Sakhalin army, trapped in the valley, was depressed and camped in the middle of the valley without the assistance of auxiliary troops. The remaining more than 3,000 Jin army cavalry could only simply set up camp.

"It's getting dark, so we need to be more alert at night! Our army is surrounded by Mingdog, and if we are not careful, the entire army will be wiped out! Mingdog must be prevented from robbing the camp at night!" Sahalian issued an order, asking people to strengthen training and alert at night.

Li Guodong had only two thousand cavalry in his hands, and the Later Jin army was prepared to rob the camp at night. However, necessary harassment was inevitable: he personally ignited 500 cavalry and brought 10,000 inferior rockets given to him by the Ming Dynasty, and prepared to set fire outside the Later Jin army camp.

At midnight, Li Guodong personally led 500 cavalrymen, wrapped their horses and held their mouths, quietly arrived about two hundred steps away from the Hou Jin camp, and then sent a swarm of rockets down from the horse's back and placed them on the ground.

Although the Later Jin army strengthened their vigilance, their observation range was about 150 steps outside the camp. If they were farther away, they would not be able to see clearly. Li Guodong arrived with a swarm of rockets that were arsonized, and the Later Jin army was unaware of it.

The soldiers lit a swarm of rockets, and countless rockets roared into the Hou Jin camp, igniting countless tents. However, Sahalian was also wary of the Ming army shooting rockets at night, so the rocket's arson effect was not particularly good. More than 5,000 rockets were shot out, and only more than 100 tents were lit.

Although the arson effect did not achieve the expected purpose, the sleeping Later Jin soldiers were awakened and cried to try out the fire by squeezing water or shoveling sand from the ground to put out the fire. After a night of tossing, the Jin soldiers were exhausted and hungry, which made Sahalian consume a lot of food.

After dawn, the mortars on both sides roared, and the shells rose into the air and kept landing in the camp of the Later Jin army.

A stone shell hit a tent, and it flattened the tent. Several Later Jin soldiers in the tent were also smashed into meat paste by the landed shells.

"Where is Minggou firing?" Sahalian hurriedly ran out of the Central Military Camp, raised his head and looked around.

"Master Beile, Minggou fired at us on the hill!" An Later Jin soldier pointed to the hill where white smoke rose.

The only two mortar cannons had severe insufficient firepower and their accuracy was even worse. However, the constantly falling shells made the Jin soldiers unable to rest with peace of mind, so they could only escape from the tent, raised their heads and looked at the sky. When they saw a small black dot falling from the sky, they fled in all directions and avoided the landing shells.

In this way, the Later Jin army could not even get a rest during the day.

"Yuetuo will probably come soon. Only two thousand cavalry will be left in our city. All the civilians and firearms will be transferred to Han Dashan!" Li Guodong gave the order.
