The giant trebuchets were all pointed at the enemy's central camp, using numbers to make up for their accuracy.
Huge cannonballs exploded in the enemy camp, and one of them directly hit the Chinese army's tent, blowing up King Rong Di's tent to pieces. Several of the surrounding guards were even missing their heads. Unfortunately, He had already left here before dark, and had not rushed in with the soldiers just now.
The back gate of the camp was also a key target for bombardment, and those who wanted to escape from here were disappointed.
Ji Jie felt much better, and his whole body became more awake. He expected that there must be capable people under King Rong Di's command to help him, otherwise why would he use strategies one after another.
"Keep bombarding!" Ji Jie roared: "Until the enemy's camp is flattened, we can then change to another target!"
Bu Lechuan, who came in with the team, suddenly became wise and led a group of brothers to jump into the pit. They used wooden boards and wooden pillars to support the top, and added a thick layer of soil to block all dangers from the outside.
Upon seeing this, the soldiers in the camps on both sides followed suit.
Ji Jie thought to himself that even if you dig deeper, I will blow you all out one by one.
In this way, the artillery fire continued until dawn, consuming countless ammunition. From the beginning to the end, the enemy did not dare to attack and kept cowering.
"Cease fire!" Ji Jie waved his hand. The appearance of the three camps before the bombing could not be found anywhere. Dead bodies, wooden sticks, bamboo poles and other things were lying on the ground. Most of the coverings on the pits had also been blown away. , leaving behind pits with bamboo sticks stuck in them.
"Your Majesty, should we start charging?" Xiong Bi looked impatient. This guy had been enjoying himself watching the artillery all night, so it was time for him, the vanguard, to rush forward and kill them.
Ji Jie waved his hand and said, "We haven't slept all night. We are tired and exhausted. It's better to evacuate this place first! Following my order, Xiongba led 3,000 people to clear the way. The artillery followed behind. The rest waited with me to fight back to the camp. rest!"
"Got the order!"
Ji Jie's team walked out a long way, and Rong Di people crawled out of the pit in disgrace, each one in shock. King Rong Di came and ordered people to count the number of people.
The final figure was that there were more than 4,000 casualties during the bombing, half of which were dead and injured.
King Rongdi said with some loss outweighing the gain: "It is us who suffer in the end, but then again, we always win the first half! Sasuga, what should we do next?"
Sa Xuya thought for a while and said: "It can be seen that this was the first time Ji Jie tried such a style of play, and he was not sure, so he hurriedly retreated at dawn! I think we should take advantage of this opportunity. Move quickly, take them in circles on the grassland, and wait until their experience is almost exhausted before the decisive battle!"
"What a good idea!" King Rong Di said with a smile: "In this case, they will have to be led by our noses, pass my order, and the army will set off!"
When the coalition army reached the halfway point, the Rongdi people also organized their formation and headed west.
Ji Jie called Zhao Ling and Ji Jie over and whispered a few words to the two of them. The two immediately returned to the headquarters and led the troops one step ahead. Ji Jie still led the artillery team and walked unhurriedly towards the camp.
After the left and right armies ran out of everyone's sight, they immediately changed their routes and headed as quickly as possible to the place where they set up an ambush last night.
Yes, Ji Jie withdrew with a large force, but he did not let the ambush troops in the west also retreat. He just wanted to create an illusion in front of the Rongdi people so that they could escape to the west unprepared.
How could 10,000 ambush troops swallow up 30,000 enemy troops? So Zhao Ling and Ji Jian were sent, each with 10,000 troops. They blocked the Rongdi people who were ambushed in front and back, which was enough for them to drink a pot. !
The general responsible for the ambush mission was Xiong Ben.
Back at the camp, according to the time calculation, it was time for Xiong Ben to catch fire with the Rong Di people. Zhao Ling and Ji Jian would be able to arrive in another quarter of an hour. Ji Jie smiled and said to Xiong Ba and Xiong Ben: "You guys Are your hands itchy?"
"Yeah!" The two brothers nodded together, and Xiong Ben geared up and said, "I thought we could have a fight, but who knew I just stood aside and watched the fun!"
"Okay, I'll give you two three thousand cavalry each!" Ji Jie pointed to the two locations on the map and said, "This is the place where the Rongdi people are most likely to choose to break out. You should set off now. As long as the Rongdi people Man, without saying a word, he rushed up and chopped off his mother-in-law!"
"It's your order!" The two brothers ran out excitedly.
The ambush site at this moment was already a scene of rivers of blood. The Rongdi people were first frightened by the sudden rain of arrows. After a short observation, they found that the opponent only had 10,000 people, so they began to organize an effective counterattack, and just regained the disadvantage. A team came out in front and behind them, and they attacked and beat them fiercely.
The poor Rongdi people were divided into three sections, which could not be connected from beginning to end. The three groups fought independently and looked for opportunities to break out.
There is a saying in the art of war: if the enemy is doubled, fight it, if it is doubled, attack it, and if it is ten, surround it. With 30,000 troops on both sides, how can the coalition forces surround the Rongdi people as solidly as a rock? They quickly found a weak position. , began to organize a breakout.
The coalition forces tightened their defense line, but this resulted in more loopholes, and the Rongdi people swarmed out.
Ji Jian, Zhao Ling and Xiong Kui gathered together. Ji Jian said: "We have too few troops to stop the enemy's breakthrough. We need to make an idea!"
Zhao Ling said: "I think your Majesty also thought of this, so he did not issue a death order when assigning the mission! The Rongdi people have been defeated, and you and I should pursue them with all our strength!"
"I agree with what General Zhao said!" Xiong Kui nodded.
"Okay then, the three of us will lead our own troops and pursue them with all our strength!"
Xiong Kui led his men in pursuit to the north. As soon as they ran less than ten miles away, the Rong Di people in front seemed to be caught in their tracks and changed their previous behavior of running away in the face of the wind.
When he walked in and took a look, it turned out that his eldest brother Xiong Ba led a group of troops to block the enemy's path. Xiong Ba was in full swing of killing.
Ji Jie made sure the two breakout locations were accurate, but he didn't expect that the Rongdi people would break out into three groups. The most terrible thing was that the troops of King Rongdi that Ji Jian was chasing disappeared after passing through a pebble beach and a river. Lost traces.
Ji Jian quickly sent out scouts to investigate, but thousands of people seemed to disappear out of thin air.
In the other direction, King Rongdi's troops were galloping under his leadership. He adopted Sa Xucha's suggestion, took advantage of the geographical advantage on the pebble beach to throw off the pursuers, and turned around and ran towards Ji Jie's camp. This was a Directions that no one could have imagined.
In Sa Xuji's words, Ji Jie had already dispatched all his troops, and the camp was empty, making it perfect for a sneak attack.
At this time, Ji Jie was sitting in the big tent, waiting for the arrival of the good news with Ji Lin and Rou Yue.
Seeing that he kept rubbing his eyes, Ji Lin asked with concern: "What's wrong with you?"
"Nothing?" Ji Jie said with a smile: "I don't know what's going on, my eyelids keep twitching, maybe something bad is going to happen, haha!"
