Forty thousand people gathered together, and Ji Lin and Ji Jie were relieved. When she heard about the murder of the Hun King, her eyes looked at Rou Yue with less jealousy and more care.
Ji Lin served as the deputy commander of the army and sat in command of the central army together with Ji Jie.
The three armies from the left, middle and right advanced together, heading towards the hinterland of Rongdi.
King Rongdi spent a winter replenishing his troops and restoring the number before the war. However, the full number of troops was only more than 30,000. Ji Jie commanded many battles. In most cases, he fought more with less, and rarely had a total force of more than 30,000. when the enemy.
It is possible to defeat more with less, and it is even easier to defeat less with more.
The atmosphere inside King Rong Di's tent was a bit tense. Apart from King Rong Di, King Chi Di and the newly appointed King of Xirong, there was another person. This person had his head lowered and the brim of his hat was pulled very low.
"This is the capable person I invited!" King Rong Di introduced: "His name is Sa Xuqi. He was once the second leader of the feared Can Wolf Group on the grassland. He fought against Ji Jie and how many tricks he had on him. Very clear!"
King Red Di sneered. After hearing that the first and third leaders of the Can Lang Group died, they broke up the group, and their previous prestige also disappeared.
Sa Xuhao slowly raised his head, stared at King Red Di with cold eyes, and said: "We are also Ji Jie's defeated generals. What right do you have to laugh at me? If it weren't for the sake of the owner of this place, I would let him You take five steps with blood splattered!"
King Red Di could not stand such a threat. He was about to get angry when King Rong Di stopped him.
"The most important thing now is how to defeat Ji Jie's 40,000-strong army!" King Rong Di said earnestly: "Fighting in a nest is nothing, as long as you can throw fire at the enemy! It's already imminent, you still have time to fight, we should We share the same hatred!”
Sa Xuji said unhurriedly: "After I was defeated by Ji Jie, I began to study him from all aspects, his character, his kung fu skills and his use of troops! This man is bold He is careful and never sticks to the rules, which is why he has defeated many with less many times. But this time their military strength exceeds ours, he will definitely adopt the strategy of encircling and annihilating them, because he has never experienced using superiority before. The feeling of fighting against the enemy with soldiers, we just have to use the strategy..."
…
After walking all the way, no one from Rong Di was found. It was obvious that King Rong Di had shrunk his position and concentrated all his troops together. The information sent by the Sima family also confirmed this.
It's better to get together, it will save us the trouble of looking for you everywhere to fight. What we are most afraid of is that the enemy will be broken into pieces. Where can we find them in such a big grassland?
The scouts reported that sixty miles ahead was the Rongdi Camp. More than 30,000 people were divided into three camps. The three camps were arranged in a vertical pattern and were located on three higher-lying hills. They were only a few hundred meters apart. Meters are like horns to each other.
Ji Jie led everyone to continue walking forward for twenty miles, choosing a place to camp that was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and then took Ji Lin, Rou Yue and others to observe the enemy's situation in person.
Standing on a high ground, the breeze blew everyone's cloaks. Ji Jie handed the telescope in his hand to Rou Yue and said: "The camp of King Rong Di is very elaborate. In addition to being horns for each other, the three camps are all different." The open space between them must be full of pits. Under normal circumstances, when encountering such a situation, the other party will choose to attack the three battalions at the same time, so that they cannot rush to each other's aid. But once they attack in this way, they have not yet reached them. , you have to lose more than half of your troops first!"
Rou Yue looked carefully and saw that there were indeed many small marks on the ground. If you didn't look carefully, you wouldn't be able to see them. Once you launch a charge rashly, the leading troops will be in dire straits, and the follow-up troops will also be implicated. In a word, a meat bun beats a dog. , there is no return.
"I didn't expect that King Rong Di is a military talent!" Rou Yue's tone contained a little disdain. It's no wonder that the Huns have always regarded themselves as having pure blood and looked down on small tribes like Rong Di. Otherwise, the Rong Di people would have been too long ago. He became a member of the Huns.
"Traps are indeed a nightmare for cavalry!" Ji Lin said: "But they won't dig all the pits around the camp, then how will they get in and out by themselves?"
Ji Jie smiled and said: "Of course not, who would be so stupid as not to leave a way out, but if we use conventional methods to find this way, we will pay a high price. Tomorrow the two of you will Each of them will bring a personal guard and follow me to see what other tricks King Rong Di has!"
The selection of traps and camps was all thanks to Sa Xu Hao. He has indeed made great progress in these days. Fortunately, his opponent was Ji Jie, who saw the flaw early on. If it had been any other way, he would have led his troops to attack him.
Early the next morning, Ji Lin and Rou Yue each led a team of personal guards to the place Ji Jie mentioned yesterday. It was two and a half miles away from the enemy's central camp. There was a huge trebuchet standing on the ground. It is three feet long and the winch is as tall as a person. It requires the cooperation of more than a dozen people to turn it.
"Is it too far?" Rouyue was a little worried.
"It's a little far away, but it can't hold up our things!" Ji Jie laughed and asked someone to turn the winch. The two soldiers bent down and picked up a thunder. I haven't used this thing in a while. It's really good. I miss it.
"Maximum range, fire!" Ji Jie ordered, and the artilleryman pulled down the latch.
"Gulu...whoosh..."
The thunderbolt, weighing dozens of kilograms, was thrown out with great force, forming a small black spot in everyone's eyes. Ji Jie took out his telescope and followed closely. The landing point of the first shell was very important, it directly affected to the accuracy behind.
The thunderbolt finally landed between the two camps, creating a crater without exploding.
"Dumb bomb?" Ji Lin asked.
"Of course not!" Ji Jie said with a smile: "I'm used to calling it a positioning bomb. I can adjust the deviation of the trebuchet according to the position where it falls, so it can't sound!"
It turned out to be so, and the two women suddenly realized.
Ji Jie said to the artillery: "There are three shooting ranges for the left and right, and the maximum range is used. Let's start fighting!"
"yes!"
The second thunderbolt exploded in the enemy camp, and the huge explosion spread five or six miles away, turning the camp into a mess.
However, after that, nine thunderbolts were thrown in succession, but none of them could be thrown into the camp, and they all bloomed outside.
"This accuracy is too bad, isn't it?" Rouyue said.
"I didn't plan to throw them all in, hehe!" Ji Jie said with a bad smile: "Just wait and see, you will know the reason why I did this in a while."
A few sharp-eyed Rong Di soldiers discovered the location of Ji Jie and others and immediately reported it to the King of the Huns.
The Hun King looked around and saw that there were not many people around Ji Jie. He asked with a smile: "Who dares to catch Ji Jie for me? He must be too courageous to come to my camp to sneak attack!"
"I'm going!" Bullechon snatched the task away and said, "I let him run away last time. Even if he gets wings this time, he can't escape from my grasp! Come on, gentlemen!"
After saying that, he led 300 of his troops out of the camp, circled in seven directions, and then rushed this way.
"Did you see everything clearly?" Ji Jie asked meaningfully.
