The Wei army stopped at the bottom of the high ground. Li Liang pointed to Ji Jie who was standing on top and said a few words to Wei Mou. Then he patted his horse and said, "Your Excellency Zhaowenjun, the general, please go down for an interview!"
Ji Jie glanced at Xiao Wei Mou below. This man had a square face, a continuous beard, and a very strong figure. He was holding a cooked copper gourd hammer in his hand. This hammer weighed at least dozens of kilograms, indicating that
He is a very strong man.
In comparison, Wu Yizhi, who was caught a few days ago, can only be regarded as a little person who relied on nepotism to climb up the ladder, without any real ability. The Xiao Wei Mou in front of him is different. He exudes a temperament that ordinary people don't have.
, worthy of being a great general of the Wei State, he is truly extraordinary.
"Haha, please invite your general to come up!" Ji Jie pretended to appreciate the scenery and said: "The view from above is wide, which is more suitable for me and the general. Soldiers are more open-minded!"
If you, Wei Mou, dare to come up, I, Ji Jie, will naturally treat you with courtesy. If you don't dare to come up, it means there is something wrong in your heart.
Of course Xiao Wei Mou would not come up, otherwise he would not let the five hundred light cavalry behind him follow closely. Fortunately, Ji Jie controlled the high ground in time and took advantage of the geographical advantage.
Li Liang returned the same way, but Xiao Wei Mou's face was expressionless. There was only one reason why he sent Li Liang to send a message, and that was to test the time it would take to rush to the high ground so that he could make the next deployment.
After Li Liang came back, he reported back: "It doesn't look like a steep slope, but it's not easy to rush up! And the width of the front is too small, which is not conducive to the movement of large groups of cavalry at the same time. Ji Jie's formation is very good.
The infantry, archers and light cavalry cooperate with each other. If we rush up rashly, we will suffer a big loss. Please give me some advice from the general!"
Xiao Wei Mou also saw this and said in a deep voice: "You really can't rush up directly! You go and tell Sima Hui and let him lead people to the high ground!"
"Let his people go up?" Li Liang asked confused: "Didn't he say that he is not Ji Jie's opponent, and he also said that he would not help us in other aspects except intelligence. Is it useful for him to go up?"
Xiao Wei Mou smiled sinisterly and said: "I just let him go up, and I didn't let him and Ji Jie fight! When his people are halfway up, you immediately swarm up with the five hundred Wei soldiers and kill the princess and Ji Jie.
Jay catch it!”
Li Liang suddenly realized that he had asked Sima Hui to act as a shield, and they were rushing up behind him. Ji Jie must not have dared to order the arrow to be fired, because that would have a great possibility of accidental injury.
Sima Hui is a smart man. He can think of Wei Mou's idea, but he can't do it. If he offends the Wei general, he will order more than a hundred of his people to die here.
Wei Wu's soldiers are the elite soldiers of the Wei state, and these are the elites selected from Wei's soldiers. Their combat effectiveness is naturally not comparable to that of the palace guards.
He had no choice but to bite the bullet and head for the high ground. Sima Hui never dreamed that things would develop to this point. He sent people to send information to Xiao Wei Mou with good intentions, but in the end he became his shield.
As soon as he got close to here, Ji Jie shouted to him coldly: "Sima Hui, you left your post without permission. Return to your position immediately. If you dare to take one step forward, I will let you die without a burial!"
The crossbowmen at the front of the formation raised their crossbows and aimed at Sima Hui and his men.
"Jun Zhaowen, just let me and my brothers go up!" Sima Hui said in a pleading tone: "We are all subjects of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Can you bear to see us desperate?"
"You asked for it!" Ji Jie was unmoved at all and said: "When you colluded with Wu Yizhi, did you ever think that you were a subject of the Zhou Dynasty? Did you ever think about it when you sent someone to secretly deliver a message to Xiao Wei Mou?
?The archers are ready to shoot anyone who dares to step forward immediately!"
"Yes!" A group of archers shouted at the same time, causing Sima He and his men to tremble at the same time.
Sima Hui turned around and smiled bitterly and said: "General, Ji Jie has thought of everything you can think of. In this case, can I retreat?"
Xiaowei Mou waved his hand, and Sima Hui felt like he was receiving amnesty. He quickly left the place with a group of his men and stayed in a distant place to watch the excitement. Ji Jie did not expect Sima Hui to help him, as long as he did not take the initiative to cause trouble.
Very rare.
"General Xiao, I, Ji Jie, think I have no friendship with you!" Ji Jie said with a smile: "So I didn't expect that the general would come to see me off so enthusiastically. I accept it with my heart. You go back, we have to be on our way.
Got it!"
"Ji Jie, we plain people don't speak secretly!" Xiao Wei Mou shouted: "You captured my brother-in-law Wu Yizhi and occupied Tuolong Pass. As long as you agree to release him and return the pass, I can forget the blame.
Pretend that nothing happened! Otherwise, I won’t be polite!”
Just kidding, I will hand back the pass that I finally captured with great difficulty. Besides, why should I believe what you say!
"I would like to learn the skills of Wei Wuzu!" Ji Jie refused to give in even a step.
Xiaowei Mou was really angered. He waved the golden melon hammer in his hand and shouted: "Wei soldiers obey the order and attack with all their strength. Whoever cuts off Ji Jie's head will be rewarded with ten ingots and hundreds of acres of fertile land. And additional
Official level!"
The soldiers of Wei screamed, waved their weapons, and rushed towards the high ground.
"Fire arrows!" Ji Jie gave an order, and the bowstrings of thirty powerful crossbows rang out at the same time. Thirty crossbow arrows quickly flew towards the target and began to mercilessly harvest the lives of the enemies.
After three rounds of arrow rain, the Wei warriors who were running at the front had climbed onto the high ground and charged towards the heavy armored infantry. The archers turned to free fire and continued to consume the enemy's vitality.
"Heavy armored infantry listen to the order and draw out your guns!" Ji Jie gave the order, and forty infantrymen picked up the previously assembled spears from the ground. In fact, they made some modifications to the tail of the original spear so that it could be fixed.
On top of another wooden pole, in this way, the spear that was originally only more than three meters long became more than seven meters long. They did not need to lift the spear to kill the enemy, but put the tail on the ground and held it tightly with both hands.
Stay on the wooden pole and wait for the enemy to come to your door.
The spearheads shone with a cold light, and before the knights who came quickly had time to react, their bodies were already pierced. Suddenly, screams and horses neighed one after another. Many spears penetrated the bodies of several knights at the same time, becoming
A veritable candied haws on a stick.
The attack in front was blocked, and the cavalry behind could not get close, but they were attacked by endless crossbow arrows. Almost every second, someone was hit by an arrow and fell off their horse.
Xiao Wei Mou was also frightened by the spears that were more than two feet long in the hands of the heavy armored infantry. He had never seen such an infantry weapon, otherwise he would not have ordered his men to rush over regardless of casualties.
In his opinion, infantry can never stop the cavalry. The cavalry can easily tear it open and then merge into the uninhabited land.
As early as the beginning of training the Zhaocheng Guards, Ji Jie had already made plans to train a group of spear infantry specifically to deal with enemy cavalry attacks. Back then, Alexander the Great relied on such an infantry phalanx to defeat the Persian cavalry.
It gave him a lot of inspiration.
Ji Xueling jumped down from the carriage, took the long bow handed over by a maid, and joined the battle. The first arrow accurately shot an enemy to death.
In just one pack of cigarettes, Xiao Wei Mou lost one-third of his troops. He had no time to think of a better way to defeat the enemy and shouted: "Li Liang, lead the giant ax knights up and let the others go."
Get out of the way!"
The Great Ax Knights each hold a long-handled mountain-breaking ax. As members of the general's guard, their main task is not to protect the safety of the general, but to punish those who disobey military orders, such as beheading and chopping.
Hands, axe, feet, etc. are generally called sword and ax hands.
As the saying goes, if a person achieves enlightenment, a chicken or a dog will ascend to heaven. Naturally, these swordsmen and axemen who followed the general could no longer call them such vulgar names, so they changed them to giant ax knights.
Xiao Wei Mou wanted to use the heavy mountain-cutting ax in the giant axe knight's hand to cut a bloody path. As long as he could open a hole, no matter how small it was, the archers and light cavalry placed behind him by Ji Jie were no match, especially
He was an archer and had no power to fight back.
When Ji Jie saw a small team rushing up from a road vacated by the attackers, he immediately ordered: "Archers, listen to the order and fire arrows at the axe-wielding cavalry. Don't let them rush over!"
The armor of the giant ax knights is also different from that of others. Many people were hit by arrows but their vital parts were not hurt. Ji Jie personally picked up the strong bow and shot arrows at those people with extremely high accuracy and hit the target.
Most of the arrows were placed on the face and throat. These places are vital places, and without the protection of armor, the person hit by the arrow will die immediately.
Li Liang rushed to the front and cut off three spears with one axe. A gap immediately appeared in the infantry square. He swung the ax and cut off six or seven spears one after another, and the formation began to change.
Ji Jie took out two feather arrows from the arrow pot and shot them towards Li Liang.
Li Liang blocked one with the blade of his axe, and shot the other in his left chest. Two more crossbow arrows penetrated his right arm. The mountain ax flew away from his hand. He pulled out his long sword with his left hand and beheaded an infantryman.
head, regardless of the scars on his body, he rushed into the gap with a few giant ax knights.
"Damn, this humble guy is so good at hitting!" Ji Jie shot two arrows at Li Liang again, one in the throat and one in his left arm.
Xiao Wei Mou originally thought that Li Liang would be able to fight his way out, but he didn't expect to be shot to death by Ji Jie as soon as he started to recover. He waved the pumpkin hammer in his hand and shouted, "Ji Jie, I'm here to take my life!" He took a dozen of his bodyguards with him to rush.
come over.
The casualties of the infantry were increasing, and soon there were less than 20 people left. However, the casualties they caused to the enemy were several times my own. In the blink of an eye, less than 300 of the 500 Wei soldiers were left, and most of them were
Some of them were shot to death by cold arrows.
The heavy armored infantry could no longer withstand it. Ji Jie was worried. If this rate continued, these twenty people would not be able to survive!
The main reason is that Wei Mou led his men to charge forward in person, boosting the enemy's morale. Once the infantry is exhausted, excluding the Wei soldiers who were consumed during this period, can the remaining fifty light cavalry in Ji Jie's hands be able to withstand the attack?
Living four times with my enemies is really hard to say.
