When she opened her eyes, she saw Ji Jie's familiar face. Ji Lin's pretty face was slightly red. Last night, it was Ji Jie who was holding her at first, but now, it's her who is holding Ji Jie.
She wanted to get up, but found that one of her legs was pinned down by Ji Jie. She was afraid that if she moved, she would wake him up, so she had to continue lying down.
In fact, Ji Jie woke up long ago. The war was so tense, how could he sleep until midnight? Even when he was deepest asleep, one of his ears was erect.
It wasn't that he was afraid of waking Ji Lin, but it was because he was so soft and fragrant that his grandson was willing to let him go.
"Hehe!" Ji Jie suddenly opened his eyes, smiled at Ji Lin who didn't know why, and said, "Good morning!"
"Good morning!" Ji Lin replied subconsciously, and immediately realized that she had been tricked. She grabbed his ear and gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, you are dishonest early in the morning and dare to bully me. , see how I deal with you..."
"Don't... hurt..." Ji Jie grinned in pain and said quickly: "Everyone is watching. This will have a bad impact. If nothing else, you and I are both generals, so why are we flirting here?"
"You... who flirted with you..." Ji Lin let go of her hand and climbed up, then kicked him in the butt.
Yaya, you were really cruel. Ji Jie rubbed his red ears and stood up.
The smell of barbecue wafted up again, and the stomachs of all the soldiers began to growl.
Grandma, you can eat meat very early in the morning and you won’t be afraid of being bored to death! Ji Jie spat towards the Rongdi people’s camp, but he didn’t spit it out. He didn’t drink water all night and was almost thirsty to death!
"Everyone has a sip of water, and then we can eat!" Ji Jie ordered helplessly. It was not an option to continue like this. We had to quickly solve the drinking water problem or break out.
King Rong Di left behind three squadrons of 200 men, patrolling back and forth on the outside of the encirclement as support. The combat effectiveness of these 600 men was no less than Ji Jie's 1,000 men, even if they could break through the encirclement. , these 600 people will also block it.
Once in a melee, thunderbolts can no longer be used, and they can only be beaten.
It can be seen from this that King Rong Di has very high military literacy. It is really difficult for Ji Jie to lead people to break out.
After eating half a piece of hard dry biscuit, Ji Lin felt that her throat was getting tight and she couldn't eat anymore. She asked, "When will we break out?"
Ji Jie looked up at the rising sun and said, "Let's hold on to the soldiers this afternoon and tell them that they will definitely be able to return to Yan State alive!"
Ji Lin nodded.
In order to weaken Ji Jie's morale before taking action, King Rongdi never ordered an attack. They ate roast mutton and drank water. Many of them deliberately poured water on the ground, which made the people above them very upset. be envious.
After a morning of sun exposure, all the soldiers were turned into wilted cucumbers, and many had their lips chapped due to lack of water.
"When will we break out?"
Ji Jie asked the same question no less than three times, "Women, they just can't keep their temper."
Ji Jie pointed to the sun above his head and said, "When the sun turns to the west!"
"Why?" She didn't understand what this meant. How could the breakout have anything to do with the sun?
"You'll know when the time comes!" Ji Jie smiled mysteriously.
After finally making it to the afternoon, Ji Jie asked everyone to rest as much as possible and not to move around. This would also reduce the evaporation of water in the body and save a lot of energy to prepare for a breakout.
The sun in early autumn is still fierce.
"An enemy is coming!" Someone shouted.
Ji Jie jumped up and looked around. He let out a sigh of relief after seeing the situation clearly. They were not enemies of the group, but only four or five Rong Di knights. They seemed to be the envoys of King Red Di.
The soldiers got up one after another, raising their crossbows and aiming at those people.
"No arrows are allowed without my order!" Ji Jie said solemnly.
"Excuse me, are you the team of Lord Zhaowen Ji Jie and the eldest princess Ji Lin?" a Rongdi man asked loudly.
Sure enough, they were messengers. Ji Jie wanted to hear what they had to say, so he stepped forward and replied, "Yes, I am Zhaowen Jun Ji Jie. Who are you?"
The man clasped his fists and said: "I am Bu Lechuan, the deputy vanguard of King Chidi. I have heard the names of Zhaowenjun and Princess Chang for a long time. You can kill all the vanguard of my Chidi tribe in one night. It is really incredible." It’s not simple! Lord Chidi King knows that you are short of water, so he asked me to give you some, please accept it!"
After saying that, Bullechon threw down two large skin bags, and the other four people also threw down two skin bags.
Many Yan Jun looked at the skin and began to lick their lips.
Ji Jie sneered and said, "I'm sorry for King Chidi's worries. I accept his wishes. Go back and tell him to prepare for battle. Don't regret it until I break out of the encirclement!"
Bu Lechuan glanced at Ji Jie with contempt, shook his head with a smile and said, "I will convey, Mr. Zhaowen, take care and say goodbye!"
"Wait!" Ji Jie pointed to the water bag on the ground and said, "How did you bring it? How do you bring it back!"
Bu Lechuan was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile: "Don't worry, we didn't poison you! King Chidi is an eagle on the grassland, and he doesn't bother to use despicable means to deal with the enemy. In his heart, you are a despicable person." Dear enemy!"
"We don't need your charity, take it back!" Ji Jie said sharply.
Bu Lechuan clasped his fists again and said: "I am a member of King Chidi. Of course I have to listen to him. If he asked me to send it here, I can only send it here. There is no reason to bring it back again? If Zhaowen Jun doesn't need it, just send him here." Let them stay on the ground!"
Ji Jie didn't wait for him to finish his words. He grabbed the long bow from a guard beside him, grabbed five arrows with his right hand, and quickly opened the bow and nocked the arrow. Before the people in Bullechuan could react, they heard the sound of the bowstring. .
Five arrows flew out at the same time, passed through the grass tips close to the ground, and flew towards the leather bag on the ground.
Five consecutive beads!
Bullechon was shocked. Putting aside his accuracy, most people couldn't shoot five arrows at the same time. On the grassland and desert, the best archers could only shoot four arrows in a row!
"Puff..."
After the feather arrow penetrated the first skin bag, it shot into the second skin bag.
Five arrows shot through all ten skin bags. The water inside flowed out along the arrow holes, and the skin bags quickly flattened.
Bullechon was so impressed that he fell to the ground. He had never seen such a brave archery. If the five arrows were not from the skin but from the five of them...he did not dare to think about it any further.
"Dayan doesn't need charity from the enemy!" Ji Jie yelled.
"We don't want charity!" the soldiers shouted together at the top of their lungs, and their flagging morale instantly increased.
Bullechon turned his horse's head and galloped away with his men.
Ji Jie looked at the backs of the five people walking away and thought, "I'm playing psychological warfare with you. You, King Chi Di, are still a little green!"
Regardless of whether he accepts the water or not, morale will be further reduced. However, Ji Jie completely reversed the situation through means. Not only did King Red Di's conspiracy not succeed, but it also stimulated the morale of the officers and soldiers!
