Four hundred meters away, King Rong Di's leading troops had already entered the attack range of the crossbows.
"Fire the arrows!" Ji Jie gave the order, and hundreds of crossbow arrows flew out. However, the accuracy was slightly off, and most of the arrows missed or did not reach the desired range at all.
This is already quite good, as the new recruits have not yet received any special crossbow training.
Dozens of Rongdi people were killed by arrows, and the team suddenly became confused. King Chidi took one look at the arrows stuck on the ground and immediately made a judgment: "Don't panic, everyone. There are only a few hundred people on the other side. Let's just charge."
If you can take them all down, follow me and charge!"
He took the lead and led three thousand men to rush towards this side.
"Continue to release arrows and shoot freely!" Ji Jie paid close attention to the distance of King Red Di. When the time was right, he raised a small flag and shouted: "Thunderbolts, release!"
Two hundred thunderbolts drew perfect parabolas in the air and landed among the Rongdi people.
A series of explosions caused everyone in Rong Di to fall off their horses. Before King Red Di could react, an even bigger explosion sounded, and the air wave almost lifted the two of them and their horses into the air.
Looking at the horrific scenes around him, King Red Di was extremely surprised. What is this thing? How can it be so lethal?
There was an explosion, and hundreds of soldiers fell. King Red Di was lucky to be unharmed among the thousands of flying bullets, but screams kept coming and going.
He was just about to give the order to continue to charge forward. He wanted to see who used what kind of weapons to cause so much damage to his troops! At this moment, the second round of thunderbolts flew, and the second thunderous cannonball
Also flew over.
There was another series of explosions, and King Chidi lost the confidence to fight again, so he ordered an immediate retreat to stabilize his position before making any plans.
"Don't chase the poor criminals!" Ji Jie gave the order in time, and everyone stayed in their positions and remained motionless.
The ability to defeat enemies several times greater depends on the power of thunder bullets and King Red Di's lack of understanding of Ji Jie. Once the two sides get into a melee, these advantages will be gone, and they will probably be wiped out in a few minutes.
.
I hope that King Red Di is a reckless man who doesn't care about casualties. As long as he rushes over two or three more times, he will be sure to have fewer people each time.
After counting the number of people after withdrawing from the battlefield, King Red Di's eyes turned red. The number of casualties in a short period of time reached more than 600, and the number of people was reduced by one-fifth!
The most annoying thing is that we still don’t know who the enemy is! It can’t be the defenders of the border city. They will only hide in the city and defend themselves. They would never dare to go out of the city. Besides, they don’t have such terrible weapons.
The person who was most shocked was none other than Ji Lin, who commanded the trebuchet.
Thunderbolt bombs were already very lethal, but she didn't expect that there would be something even more powerful. The explosive power of Thunderbolts was so amazing!
She stretched out her hand to touch the Sky-shattering Cannon filled with prefabricated fragments, and murmured to herself: "How could Ji Jie have such a perverted weapon? How did he make it?"
"Whoosh..."
The sky-shattering cannon and trebuchet disappeared out of thin air in front of Ji Lin's eyes. She quickly turned around and saw Ji Jie standing behind her with a smile.
"How did you do it? Who are you?" Ji Lin stood up and asked.
Ji Jie stretched out his right hand and shook it, and said with a smile: "I am a person sent by God to save all people from fire and water. Naturally, I have abilities that ordinary people don't have, haha!"
Ji Lin said blankly: "Then you are a god?"
"You know too much!" Ji Jie made a threatening gesture and said, "If you dare to reveal my affairs, you will die miserably!"
Ji Lin's frightened expression was not fake this time.
Ji Jie was very satisfied with her performance, and the smile on her face began to become abnormal.
Ji Lin was not only smart, but also very sensitive. She understood everything from Ji Jie's expression. She gritted her teeth and pointed at his nose and said, "Okay, how dare you lie to me? You are a god. How can there be such a wretched person in the world?"
The god!"
Obscene?
You, you, you... please tell me clearly, what is so wretched about me? I haven’t even settled the account with you for adding medicine to my bath water that day!
The two of them were about to fight each other when a guard ran over and said, "Oh no, the Rong Di people are strong and powerful. They look like they are going to kill me. General, please give me permission!"
Ji Jie took out his telescope, and sure enough, King Rong Di had already formed a formation and might rush over at any time.
Having just suffered such a big loss, he would not fight an unprepared battle. Ji Jie saw that they were holding round knight shields, and many people got off their horses, as if they were assembling some equipment.
Grass, winch crossbow!
The capstan crossbow is wound by a capstan and can shoot six five-foot-long short spears each time. It is very lethal and cannot be resisted by ordinary shields. The range is more than two hundred feet, which is six hundred meters! The most valuable thing is the capstan crossbow.
With two wooden wheels, it is very maneuverable.
"Notify everyone to mount their horses quickly and evacuate their positions before the enemy attacks!" Ji Jie ordered.
The enemy's long-range attack can reach 600 meters, and your own crossbow can shoot up to 400 meters. You must retreat at least 200 meters to avoid the attack.
In this way, the Rongdi people took a step forward, and Ji Jie took a step back. Until it was almost dusk, neither side fought anymore.
There are several giant trebuchets in Ji Jie's Sumeru Ring, but the situation at hand is urgent and there is no time to assemble them. Besides, even if they are assembled, Ji Lin's people may not be able to play with them.
The key is that just building a medium-sized one has already aroused her suspicion. It is our virtue not to leak money!
Through the previous confrontation, King Chidi was convinced that the enemy in front of him came from the Yan Kingdom. Not everyone had weapons with huge lethality. More importantly, the range of such weapons was limited.
Since this was the case, he felt confident.
"General Left, lead 500 people to bypass the enemy to the southwest! General Right will lead 500 people to bypass the enemy to the southeast. I will lead the remaining troops to attack from the front!" King Chidi assigned the task: "Three groups of troops launched at the same time.
Attack and completely block the enemy's advance and retreat. As long as we fight in close combat, they are no match!"
"Got the order!" The generals on the left and right each ordered five hundred soldiers and horses and set off.
When Ji Jie saw King Chi Di dividing his troops, he felt bad! He couldn't let them get close to him no matter what. The best way now was to find a high ground to defend, but the surrounding area was a flat grassland. Where could there be any high ground?
A soldier heard the conversation between Ji Jie and Ji Lin and said: "General Qi, when I was young, I came here to graze with my father. I know that there is a small hill five miles south. It is not big but it is big enough for us."
Take shelter!”
Great, then go over there.
Sure enough, there was a mountain of earth dozens of meters high standing there.
King Chidi was not in a hurry to encircle the enemy. When he saw the hillock, he did not order an attack, but instead ordered to slow down.
This made Ji Jie very confused, what kind of evil plan was King Rongdi planning?
