After Xiao Wei Mou personally joined in, the situation became one-sided. Ji Jie ordered the archers to retreat and give way, and he rushed forward with fifty light cavalry. As long as the advancement of Wei soldiers was delayed, the archers could
Shoot them to a greater extent.
Compared with Wei Wuzu, the Zhaocheng light cavalry can only be regarded as a group of new recruits. This is their first battle. There was nothing wrong with them at first, but as time went by, all the shortcomings of new recruits became apparent.
There are also many loopholes in mutual cooperation.
What pleased Ji Jie was that none of these people were cowards, and none of them were afraid of death. They knew they were outmatched but still rushed forward bravely and fought with the enemy.
Ji Jie and Xiao Wei Mou came to a fight, and after a few moves, they were evenly matched.
"Ji Jie, I advise you to put down your weapons and surrender. I promise not to kill you!" Xiao Wei Mou still has not given up his psychological offensive.
"If you lay down your weapons and surrender, I will guarantee your safety!" Ji Jie said tit for tat.
"Then don't blame me for being cruel and evil!" Xiao Wei Mou swung the big ax and hit him on the head.
Ji Jie dodged and pierced Xiao Wei Mou's left chest with the spear in his hand. The two of them fought back and forth for more than ten rounds, but there was still no winner.
Ji Xueling saw this and was anxious in her heart. More than half of her own casualties had been lost. If things continued like this, they would probably all die together. Slowly, Wei Wuzu gained the upper hand, and Ji Jie's geographical advantage became less and less obvious.
, at this critical moment, a sudden change occurred!
Sima Hui led more than a hundred of his men to charge towards the high ground. Before the Wei soldiers, who were attacking with all their strength, realized what they were doing, they were chopped down by the palace guards. Now they were attacked from both sides, unable to get up or get down.
There is nothing but being at the mercy of others.
Ji Jie was so excited that he never thought that Sima Hui would be able to lend a helping hand at the critical moment.
"Sima Hui, you bastard!" Xiao Wei Mou cursed, leaving Ji Jie who was fighting with him, and took a dozen of his followers to break through the encirclement and fled towards the hinterland of Wei State.
Ji Jie stopped the soldiers who were about to pursue him. Don't chase if you are in trouble. Besides, this is the territory of the Wei Kingdom and you don't understand the terrain here.
"General Zhaowen, are you okay?" Sima Hui asked with concern, and the two parties joined forces.
Ji Jie nodded and said sincerely: "General Sima, thank you for coming to help in time!"
"Haha, Mr. Zhaowen is so polite!" Sima Hui said with a smile: "Anyway, I am also a member of the wedding army. It is my responsibility to protect the safety of the convoy and the princess. I have done many things that I am sorry for everyone.
I hope Mr. Zhaowen can forgive me!"
Ji Jie waved his hand and said: "Let bygones be bygones. After this battle, our personnel suffered serious losses. Let's seize the time to clean up the battlefield and set off quickly!"
"Yes!" Sima Hui led people to clear the battlefield.
Only 50 of the 120 soldiers brought by Ji Jie were left, and Sima Hui still had 120 soldiers. Altogether, 107 people were killed, 9 were seriously injured, and 33 were slightly injured.
People no longer have the capital to fight.
Only less than 20 of Xiao Wei Mou's 500 light cavalry escaped, leaving behind more than 480 corpses, plus armours, weapons and other trophies piled up in a hill.
But Ji Jie couldn't be happy. Sixty-seven people were killed in the battle. This number made it difficult for him to breathe.
Ji Xueling's face was a little pale. Although she had experienced an assassination incident a few days ago, how could it be compared with today's tragic scene? There were stumps and broken arms everywhere, and even the ground turned dark red.
"Let's go!" Ji Jie ordered. After getting on his horse, he looked back at a new grave that had just been erected. Under it were buried members of the Zhaocheng Guards who died heroically in battle.
The survivors couldn't help but speed up their pace. Everyone wanted to leave Wei State and enter Zhao State as soon as possible. With the protection of Zhao State's border guards, they could gain real safety.
As for why Sima Hui did what he did, Ji Jie didn't ask, nor did he say.
When it got dark, we finally reached the national border. A solitary stone monument stood on the high ground, with the two characters "Zhao Guo" engraved on one side and the two characters "Wei Guo" engraved on the other side.
According to general practice, as long as you cross the guard, you will arrive at Zhao State. However, it is still more than twenty miles away from the border guards stationed in Zhao State. It was already dark. For safety reasons, Ji Jie ordered to continue on the road.
Let's talk about Xiao Wei Mou who escaped. When he was chasing Ji Jie, he passed through the important military town of Mayi. He sent someone to command the Mayi garrison to prepare the army. If he and his men were frustrated in their attack, they would come over immediately to support him.
I happened to meet this team on the way back.
This made Xiao Wei Mou overjoyed. He turned his horse and chased after him with this group of people. This group of people totaled 600 people and was divided into three arms: mounted archers, assault troops and light cavalry.
The combat effectiveness of the assault troops was several times greater than that of the light cavalry. These men wore heavy armor and carried ten-foot-long thrust spears. They were similar to the later heavy armored cavalry. No one could withstand their attack. Plus two hundred cavalry.
As long as the shooters can catch up with Ji Jie, they are definitely no match.
To be honest, the previous battle left Xiao Wei Mou with lingering fears, especially the perfect coordination between the spear phalanx composed of heavy armored infantry and the archers.
Soon, they discovered the marching Ji Jie team, and Xiao Wei Mou immediately ordered: "The cavalry archers are chasing after them from the left. Don't deliberately approach them. Use bows and arrows to harass them from a distance and slow down their marching speed! Light cavalry
Outflank them from the right and block their way. The assault troops will follow me from the front and strive to win in one battle!"
"Got the order!" The two teams were ordered to take action.
Just when Wei Mou discovered Ji Jie, Ji Jie also discovered them.
"Xiao Wei Mou's movements are really fast!" Ji Jie frowned. He thought that Xiao Wei Mou would never give up, but he did not expect that he would assemble another army in such a short period of time.
Ji Xueling looked worried and said: "What should we do? Otherwise, let's abandon the carriage and ride horses together. This will increase the speed of travel!"
Although it is not the best way, it is still a way. Ji Jie ordered the carriage to be abandoned, and when no one was paying attention, he packed all the contents of the carriage into the Sumeru Ring, just like he did with the captured weapons and armor before.
method.
One party ran with all his strength, and the other pursued with all his life.
