Wang Jian wanted to agree to Ji Jie's proposal, but he was afraid of falling into a trap, so he smiled and refused to answer. In fact, he was extremely nervous.
Ji Jie shrugged and said something that surprised Wang Jian even more: "General Wang, it is a very good idea to combine the Bagua Array and the Tianlong Array. I'm afraid they wouldn't even dare to think about it if it were any other general! It's just that , don’t you think the grand formation you put up is a bit flashy? If it were me, I definitely wouldn’t do this.”
Wang Jian became frightened. He knew very well that Ji Jie had come out of Guigu, and his understanding of military formations was beyond his level. Could it be that he saw the weaknesses in the formations?
It's not that Wang Jian doesn't have confidence, but it's the first time he uses this Bagua Tianlong Formation. It has never been tested in actual combat, so he is not sure whether it can stand the test.
Ji Jie was able to explain the "mystery" in one word, so Wang Jian preconceptionally thought that he had discovered a flaw.
Ji Jie patted his butt and stood up, and said with a smile: "I still suggest that we can fight head-on. You and I are both famous generals in the world. There is no point in spending time on strategies. What do you think?"
"Agree!" Wang Jian nodded immediately and said, "I also want to know the result. Is our Qin army stronger, or is the Zhou army better?"
"Okay, it's settled!" Ji Jie stretched out his right hand.
"It's a deal!" Wang Jian also stretched out his right hand and held the two hands together. He continued: "I will immediately withdraw the ambush hidden in the woods, and at the same time withdraw the Bagua Tianlong Formation. You and I will each rely on our martial arts." , let’s have a real battle between men!”
"Okay, let's use the sound of drums as a signal in a moment. After three drums, our army will charge over!"
"The same goes for our army!"
The two of them separated and went back to the formation. Ji Jie quickened his pace. He suppressed his laughter. Finally, when they reached their own territory, he couldn't hold it back any longer and burst out laughing.
Xiong Ben asked in confusion: "Your Majesty, why are you laughing?"
Ji Jie held his stomach and said: "That guy was fooled. I haven't found out the flaw in his formation yet! If we attack rashly, we will definitely suffer losses. With the ambush he arranged in the woods, we are likely to be defeated!" I bluffed him a few words, and he couldn't wait to confront us head-on, hahaha!"
"Really!" Xiong Ben said, gearing up: "Then we can have a good fight!"
"Haha, order the troops to form an assault square formation!" Ji Jie waved his hand and said: "In a moment, we will all press forward and have a showdown with the Qin army!"
"yes!"
The Qin army soon formed an attack formation, and the ambush troops and reserve troops hidden in the woods on both sides joined in. Wang Jian's heartbeat began to accelerate, and the battle was about to begin.
"Blow the first tom!" Wang Jian ordered.
Zhou Jun also beat the first drum, followed by the second and third drums.
"Warriors of the Great Zhou Dynasty, charge!" Ji Jie took the lead and charged towards the Qin army. At the same time, Wang Jian on the opposite side clamped the horse's belly fiercely, sat down and his horse raised its four hooves and began to run wildly.
"Prepare the thunderbolts!" Ji Jie waved his hand, and the cavalry in front fired the thunderbolts, then quickly hung the thunderbolt crossbow on the saddle and pulled out the weapon.
As soon as the coalition forces came into contact, people fell on their backs, the neighing of war horses, and the soldiers' shouts of killing merged into a heroic piece of music.
…
The Zhou army approached the city, and Linzi City was completely surrounded. The headquarters of the commander-in-chief of the three armies was located five miles outside the west gate, and Ji Xueling began to assign tasks.
"Xiong Ba obeys the order!"
"The end is here!"
"Lead 20,000 infantry troops to attack the west gate after the bombardment is over!"
"Got the order!"
"Tai Shi Yong!"
"The end is here!"
"Lead 20,000 infantry troops to attack the south gate after the bombardment is over!"
"yes!"
"Xiong Kui obeys the order!"
"The end is here!"
"Responsible for the wisdom of all long-range attack weapons, focus on the west gate and south gate. It is best to knock down the city wall directly. Even if not, we must eliminate the defenders at the top of the city as much as possible to reduce our casualties during the siege.
!”
"yes!"
After assigning the task, Ji Xueling said in a deep voice: "Issue an ultimatum to Linzi City. If they open the city gate and surrender before we launch the attack, I can guarantee that the Zhou army will not commit any crimes after entering the city. Otherwise, they will have to bear all the consequences of the attack."
The consequences!”
Li Yuan escaped long before the Zhou army besieged the city, leaving a few close disciples here to command and defend the city.
Dozens of arrows with ultimatums tied to them were shot into the city, which stated that the Zhou army would launch a general attack in the afternoon. The soldiers and people in the city were panicked. Many people wanted to surrender, but were told that they could only choose to live or die with the city. Who could
Those who dare to surrender will be punished on the spot.
After lunch, Ji Xueling saw that the city gate had not been opened yet, so she shouted: "Start the attack!"
Thousands of artillery fire were fired, followed by violent explosions. The trebuchets of the defenders in the city had a limited range and could not attack the Zhou army's artillery positions. Now they could only be beaten.
After more than ten rounds of volleys, the southern city wall collapsed. Taishi Yong winked at Xiong Ba and shouted: "Big Xiong, I'm sorry, I might rush into the city before you!"
Xiong Ba was unconvinced and said, "That's not necessarily true. My men will always run faster than yours!"
"Then let's compete!"
"Competition is a competition, who is afraid of whom!" Xiong Ba roared: "The one who goes in last should invite the one who goes in first to drink!"
"Okay, it's settled!"
Xiong Ba dared to make a bet with Tai Shiyong because he arranged for a team of demolition soldiers to rush to the front, each with two horses, one of which carried a gunpowder bag. He piled the gunpowder at the gate of the city and believed that it would not explode.
city gate.
"Charge!" Zhou Jun began to attack the city.
…
Ji Jie can no longer remember how many times he has rushed into the Qin army. Xiong Bi and three thousand personal guards have been following him. The Qin army was broken into several sections by them. Of course, the Zhou army was also beaten by the Qin army.
After rushing into several sections, the two parties fought in a melee.
"When... poof..."
Ji Jie knocked a Qin soldier off his horse with one shot. He swept his spear across the throat of another enemy and looked up just in time to see Wang Jian who had killed a Zhou soldier not far away.
"Capture the thief before the King of Qin, come with me and rush over to kill Wang Jian!" Ji Jie shouted.
"Kill Wang Jian!" the guards shouted loudly, and then rushed towards Wang Jian.
Wang Jian's weapon was a square-shaped painted halberd. When Ji Jie rushed over, he also came up with his bodyguards. The two of them thought of going together. As long as they could kill the opponent's general, the enemy's morale would be improved.
When it reaches the lowest point, the balance of victory will also tilt.
"when……"
The weapons of the two collided, sparks flying everywhere. Generally speaking, Ji Jie was more powerful, but Wang Jian was not at a disadvantage. He was a general who was good at his moves.
"The kung fu is good, who did you learn it from?" Ji Jie asked.
Wang Jian sneered and said, "My master is just a nobody. Lord Zhaowen may not know it! All you need to know is that you will die in my hands. Accept your fate!"
"You want to kill me, but you're not strong enough!" Ji Jie stabbed me with his spear.
