At the end of his words, he had an obviously stern attitude, and what prompted him to make this decision so quickly was actually Gao Jingshan's warning.

All the generals did not hesitate and led their troops, chasing the Song army's defeated soldiers down the river bank and heading towards the earthen hill to the west, forcing Tian Shizhong's flag to continue leading the defeated army westward, vaguely heading straight for the earthen hill in the middle.

It was around noon when Wang Bolong's troops officially entered the huge Song army camp.

At almost the same time, on the northeasternmost side of the Song army camp and the center of the western front, the gates were opened, and the two Song army units that received the flag signal left the camp almost at the same time... To the northeast were the 4,000 Beiwei cavalry led by Zhang Xian, the former commander of the imperial camp. At this time, they were just leading their horses wrapped in sackcloth, and they carefully leaned forward and filed out under the cover of the camp and fortifications, for fear of attracting the attention of Wang Bolun's troops. To the west, although there were only 1,000 heavy infantrymen wearing straw sandals, they made a big fanfare, shouted in unison, and struggled to break out. Under the leadership of Wang Gang, the former commander who had made meritorious contributions after being convicted of a crime, they rushed to the already chaotic western river channel, and then fell into fierce hand-to-hand combat as soon as they met the battle line.

At the same time, the Jin army commanders on the western front, namely Balisu and Wuzhu, did not actually think so much, because the battle seemed big and fierce at this moment, but in fact it was not the time to really decide the outcome... The Jin army had not even assembled the flanking troops, the Song army was not yet exhausted, and the reserve troops in the rear camp had not fought desperately.

In this situation, what do you think the two Jin army commanders will think?

In fact, at this critical moment, all the Jin army officers were attracted by the hot air balloon over Yuan City.

All the staff and officers including Balisu and Wuzhu were discussing what the hot air balloon meant, but in the end, it was nothing more than a request for help or a warning.

Confused, the Jin army's top brass reacted directly, ordering scouts to go around and find out the situation... But they couldn't raise the balloon anyway, because according to the original plan, the signal for the general attack this afternoon was to be made using a hot air balloon.

Just as I was daydreaming, the hot air balloon over Yuancheng suddenly began to emit thick smoke again, and then it was obviously out of control, flying up in the middle of winter like a real out-of-control Kongming lantern.

At this point, the Jin army's top brass became even more speechless, and even the soldiers fighting between the two armies in the river on the west side were a little stagnant.

Soon after, news came that a group of more than a thousand heavy infantrymen of the Song army had rushed into the river along the Yongji Canal and began to sweep southwards.

This time, no one was hesitating anymore.

"Marshal, Fourth Prince, Commander Gao should have reminded us of this." Wan Hu Tuhesu looked at the big ball of black smoke and sighed on the horse. "The Song army also realized that the southern section of the western line was a weak point, so they sent troops to sweep the river in time to relieve the pressure..."

"That's right." Wushu felt that what Tuhesu said was all nonsense, but he could only nod his head, but then shook his head again with emotion. "Although it is a large Kongming lantern, the Song army's hot air balloons are obviously fire-resistant. If our hot air balloons rise three, two will be burned... Look at Gao Dutong's place, it was just a warning, and it caught fire directly... So we can only use it as a signal for a general attack."

"The most urgent task at this moment is to send an elite force to stop the heavy infantry of the Song army, in order to prevent it from becoming a trend and giving the Song army a chance to catch their breath." Balisu had no intention of discussing the hot air balloon. "Tuhesu, your unit is good at infantry combat, send out 20 Moukes to quickly intercept them."

Tu Hesu immediately accepted the order, selected a few men, determined the order, formed an army, and sent it out immediately.

This matter came to an end, and on the western front, all the high-ranking Jin army officers were paying attention to when the hot air balloon would burn out, when it would fall, or where it would fall.

Of course, the battlefield was so large that Wuzhu Balisu and others didn’t know the meaning of the hot air balloon, but some people combined their intelligence sensitivity and realized something.

Directly north of Yuancheng, the Song army camp was further north. Ali and Shao, who were gathering in a safe area, noticed the burning hot air balloon at the same time. Moreover, they were the first Jin army troops to notice any unusual movements of Wang Bolun's troops.

Gao Jingshan might be warning Wang Bolong not to attack without authorization! This possibility was immediately recognized as the two generals hurriedly met. So the two men temporarily changed their battle plan. The Ali tribe on the east side immediately gathered cavalry, crossed the Yellow River, and went to the east to meet Wang Bolong.

To be fair, based on this point alone, Gao Jingshan's warning has been successful.

However, in order to prevent being ambushed on the river, the Ali tribe, which originally had no plan to cross the river, needed to temporarily add anti-slip measures to the war horses.

And everyone, from the Song army to the Jin army, from Yue Fei to Tian Shizhong, from Gao Jingshan to Ali and Shaohe, all felt helpless because Wang Bolun was too fast!

Everyone was following the procedures, except Wang Bolun, who was so decisive from beginning to end!

Tian Shizhong came out to lure the enemy, but as soon as he came out, Wang Bolun immediately launched an attack; Gao Jingshan tried to sound the alarm, but the hot air balloon did not rise, and Wang Bolun directly crossed the Yellow River channel on the east; the hot air balloon had just risen and had not yet been ignited, and Ali Shaohe had not yet realized the danger, when Wang Bolun's troops had already broken into the Song army camp.

So, just when the hot air balloon was filled with smoke and Ali Shaohe realized the danger and temporarily decided to change the battle plan to make necessary preparations for rescue, Wang Bolun and his Wan Hu were still one step ahead and were so decisive even when they were in anxiety and danger.
