When Bulechuan told King Chidi exactly what happened before, the old guy stretched out his hand to touch the long beard on his chin and said with a smile: "This Ji Jie is indeed well-deserved. He can actually turn my mind-attacking skills into his." It’s a really interesting way to boost morale!”
King Chidi has been fighting with the people of Yan all his life. In his opinion, Yan has never had good soldiers and generals. No matter who leads the army against him, he has never taken advantage of him. If you fight with such an army, you will win. It's also meaningless.
How much he hopes that he can have a strong opponent, defeat him through his military expertise, and then crush him hard under his feet. That feeling will definitely be very wonderful.
The opportunity finally came.
"They won't last long!" King Chidi smiled and said to Bullechuan: "Do you think Ji Jie will lead his team to break out as he said?"
Bullechon frowned slightly, and after thinking for a few seconds, he said: "I don't think so. Don't you often tell me that soldiers are deceitful, and there is also the truth that the truth is the truth, and the truth is the truth? Since he said Let us be prepared for battle, then we will definitely not break through!"
King Chi Di shook his head and said: "Young man, you only saw the surface of the matter, not the inside! If you were to be the leader today, Ji Jie might not break out and wait for you to attack the mountain! But the commander It’s me, so I’m sure he will rush over!”
"Oh, when do you think he will start to break out?"
King Chidi shook his head again and said: "I don't know either. Our enemy is a man who knows how to use his brain. He will definitely not act according to common sense! Order the troops to prepare for battle and use the winch crossbow as soon as they enter the range. Give them a kick in the ass!"
"yes!"
The waiting time always passed very slowly, and finally the sun stayed in the west, shooting out dazzling light.
When the time came, Ji Jie ordered all the remaining water to be used by everyone, and then followed his orders and rushed down together.
The remaining dozens of skins of water were quickly drank down, and the soldiers looked much better. Ji Jie pulled out his long sword and said: "Brothers, we are surrounded by Rongdi people in this place where birds can't shit. If you can't eat well and sleep well, do you have the confidence to break out of the siege with me?"
The soldiers shouted in unison: "Yes!"
"Okay!" Ji Jie's face was full of pride and he continued: "You are the elites I selected from the 20,000 new soldiers. You are all good. Now listen to my orders!"
Everyone stood up straight, waiting for him to give instructions.
"Deputy General Ji Lin!"
"Yes!" Ji Lin took a thousand steps forward.
"You lead one hundred and fifty personal guards as the rear guard and follow the team. Remember to disperse the encircling enemy troops! Regardless of whether they are encircling or chasing, use thunder bullets to greet them all. !”
"Got the order!"
"Another hundred personal guards will follow me as the vanguard!" Ji Jie took out a knight's shield and said, "Sixty people will rush to the front with me, even if they bite with their mouths, they will tear through the enemy's encirclement. Open an opening, and the others will be scattered on both sides of the recruits, ready to deal with the enemies who come to block the opening at any time! Do you understand?"
"I understand!"
Ji Lin took his hand and said: "I don't need so many people, fifty is enough. You are under greater pressure. Take fifty more from me!"
Ji Jie waved his hand and said earnestly: "You are under a lot of pressure. Have you seen those three roving cavalry squadrons? They will be our most difficult enemies to deal with. Whether you can lead everyone out depends on whether you can Guard our back door!"
Ji Lin nodded solemnly and walked to the back of the queue with a hundred personal guards.
In the distance, King Rong Di saw the Yan army on the mountain forming a long snake formation, rushing north and south, and immediately ordered: "People from the east and west reinforce the south and north, and immediately build a stronger defensive formation. Capstan crossbow ready to fire!"
Seeing the actions of the people from Rong Di below, Ji Jie smiled. The purpose of his formation of a long snake formation was to confuse King Rong Di so that he could not tell where the snake head was and where the tail was. In this way, he had to fight. It is divided into two directions, and there are at most a thousand people in each direction. The strength of the two sides is almost the same, and the chance of winning is even greater!
Even if the battle begins and the direction of the head and tail is determined, the two groups of troops are far apart and it will take a long time to join forces.
"Warriors, charge with me!" Ji Jie took the lead, using his downward speed to rush towards the southern defense line of the Rongdi people.
In comparison, the southern defense line is more relaxed than the northern one, because thirty miles to the north is the border town of Yan State. Most people will choose the north. As long as they break through the siege, they can reach the border town and seek shelter in no less than an hour.
The situation in the south is different. You have to travel at least two hundred miles to reach the border of Yan State.
Therefore, King Rong Di's northern defense line was built more tightly, and the number of winches and crossbows was twice as many as that in the south. King Rong Di himself was also in the north, personally commanding.
Ji Jie was about to do the opposite and catch Rong Di by surprise.
King Chi Di saw it clearly, but he did not immediately order reinforcements to the south. If he moved, he would use the above sound to attack the west. Ji Jie was very clever with his troops. Let's wait and see!
The person in charge of the defense in the south was the right general under the Chidi throne. When he saw the Yan army coming here like a tide, he quickly ordered: "Prepare the capstan crossbow, maximum range, free fire!"
The soldier in charge of winching the crossbow pressed the crossbow down to form the largest throw angle. Just when he raised his head to observe the distance, he was unable to open his eyes due to the dazzling sunlight!
"Report to the general that the enemy's distance cannot be determined!" the crossbowman said.
The general on the right looked up, unable to open his eyes. He shouted: "No, this is Ji Jie's plan! Don't worry about how far it is, just guess what it is and shoot the arrow quickly!"
Dozens of short spears flew out, but their accuracy was poor, worse than the first round of arrow rain from the recruits yesterday!
Ji Jie swung his long sword and split the two short spears that were shot at him. He looked back and saw that the guards had almost no manpower loss. This was good. As long as the lethality of the thunderbolt bullets could be guaranteed, there was hope of rushing out.
The recruits following the guards were also busy. They rode their horses and strung up their bows and crossbows. After entering the shooting range, they fired the crossbows without hesitation. The enemy's few winch crossbows were all lost in the rain of arrows. .
"fight back!"
Not to be outdone, the Rongdi people shot feather arrows, and their accuracy was as bad as the capstan crossbow just now.
"Defend the enemy!" the right general shouted, and the soldiers raised their spears.
However, as long as they look forward, they will be blinded by the sunlight. They can't see where the enemy is rushing, let alone the crossbow arrows fired at them!
"Prepare the thunderbolt!" Ji Jie raised the thunderbolt crossbow, and the guards behind him followed suit!
