There were twelve carriages in total. The six taels in front each contained ten wooden boxes over one meter long. When opened, they contained the standard Qin Army carved feather arrows. The arrows were two feet eight inches long. The bronze arrow clusters shone in the sun.
.
Each box contains 300 arrows, and six carts are equivalent to eighteen thousand arrows. The next six carts contain weapons such as swords, spears, and shields, all of which Ji Jie needs.
The person in charge of the fleet handed over a letter and said respectfully: "My master said that these things will be sent to Zhao Wenjun for emergency first, and subsequent supplies will be sent continuously!"
With Qin Qing as a strong backing, Ji Jie was full of confidence and said with a smile: "Haha, go back and bring a message to your master for me, saying that Xiaojie thanked Sister Qing!"
Then he ordered Ji Jian to take someone to unload the truck. Ji Xueling said in a sour tone: "Sister Qing? What you call is so intimate. Who is this Sister Qing?"
Ji Jie smiled bitterly, "How long has it been? You are still jealous. Let's focus on fighting the enemy, okay?"
On the morning of the fifth day, everyone came to the city gate tower with an anxious mood. Only Ji Jie had not yet appeared. They had been waiting for more than half an hour, but they did not see him coming.
"He must be lying in bed again!" Ji Xueling knew him best among the group of people.
Huh... Ji Jie, who was sleeping soundly, was lifted off the quilt. Although it was already summer, Tuolongguan was in spring all year round, and the temperature difference between day and night was extremely large. It was easy to catch a cold without a quilt.
"You bad guy, why don't you wear any clothes when you sleep?" Ji Xueling covered her eyes.
"Hey, do you know that you want evil people to complain first?" Ji Jie rubbed his sleepy eyes and sat up. He didn't care at all that his body was exposed in front of Ji Xueling and muttered: "Why are you coming here so early? Could it be that the Wei army is attacking?
?”
"Get dressed quickly!" Ji Xueling picked up the clothes that Ji Jie had thrown on the ground and said angrily: "Wei Jun hasn't shown up yet, but you, the master of Tuolong Pass, must appear in front of everyone. The new army has never fought.
War, I don’t feel confident!”
"Will they know it if I go there?" Ji Jie put on his clothes and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Xiao Wei Mou will definitely underestimate the enemy, so the time to attack will not be in the morning!"
After dilly-dallying for a long time, Ji Jie finally appeared on the city wall. Ji Xueling followed behind and kept helping him tidy up his messy armor, just like a little daughter-in-law, making others envious.
At this time, smoke and dust were billowing in the distance, and the 20,000 Wei army stretched for three miles and came towards Tuolong Pass here in a leisurely manner. The vanguard camp was at the front, wearing three layers of armor and holding a sword at the waist.
Each person also carried a powerful crossbow and fifty crossbow arrows. They stepped in unison, making the ground thump.
At that time, the Wei general Wu Qi relied on 50,000 strong Wei soldiers to defeat the Qin army of 500,000 and seize more than 500 miles of Qin's land. Although these have become history, the reputation of Wei soldiers still resounds throughout China. This is
This is also the main reason why Qin has defeated Wei on the battlefield many times but has never been able to destroy it. The combat effectiveness of Wei's soldiers is truly astonishing.
Following the vanguard camp is the Yunlou team. The wooden cloud tower is much higher than the Tuolongguan city wall. It is a huge wooden wheel. Dozens of archers can stand on the top of the building to shoot at the people on the city.
Cover your own soldiers' attack on the city.
Then there was a five-foot long crash car. The upper part was in the shape of a roof, and it was covered with water-soaked rhinoceros skin. Neither crossbow arrows nor rockets could damage it at all, and rolling logs and stones could not cause any substantial damage to it. The lower part was suspended.
There is a huge tree with a diameter of more than two feet, with a ferocious bronze animal head on the front end, grinning, as if it can break open the thick city gate in one go.
Then came the cloud echelon and the cavalry, all well-equipped.
The defenders on the city couldn't help but sweat, even Zhao Ling, who had experienced many battles, was no exception. Ji Jie asked with a smile: "Has General Zhao ever fought against Wei Wu soldiers before?"
Zhao Ling shook his head and said: "The relationship between Zhao and Wei has been good in recent years, and there has never been a war. I heard from my father that Wei soldiers are very capable in field battles, and almost no army from that country can defeat them from the front. It is a pity that the strength of the Wei State has declined year by year, and Wei soldiers, who have extremely strong offensive power, have to change their tactics from attacking to focusing on defense."
"Can our crossbow arrows penetrate the three-layer armor of the Pioneer Battalion?" This is the question Ji Xueling is most concerned about.
"It's difficult!" Zhao Ling replied: "The first layer of these three layers of armor is iron armor, the second layer is chain armor, and the third layer is soft leather armor. The three layers together can block the attacks of strong bows and hard crossbows. !”
"Don't be afraid, we have a trebuchet!" Ji Jian waved his hand, and the trebuchet under the city wall began to prepare, and cylinders of kerosene were loaded onto the pallet.
The Wei army stopped two miles away, and Wei Mou sat on his chariot in a grand manner. He raised his head and glanced at Ji Jie on the city wall, and said confidently: "What can we do if the city is guarded? Send someone to deliver the message." , as long as Ji Jie is willing to lay down his weapons and surrender, I guarantee that only his life will be spared, and the rest will be forgiven!"
"Got the order!" The messenger rode forward.
At this time, a horse came running from the side of Tuolong Pass. It was very fast. The fiery red horse and the fiery red costume of the knight were like a ball of flame.
"Who are you, stop immediately, otherwise we will shoot arrows!" Ji Jian shouted, and the archers on the city top all aimed at the red knight.
The war horse neighed and stopped in an instant. The raised front legs stepped heavily on the ground. The veil on the knight's hat was blown open by the wind, and it turned out to be a woman, and a very beautiful woman.
He has an oval face, arched eyebrows and almond-shaped eyes, a straight nose bridge, and a small cherry mouth. He looks like he is no more than twenty years old. His body is completely covered in a red outfit, with tall chest and slender waist. The round thighs and calves with thousands of curves all illustrate the perfection of God's creation.
"Who is coming?" Ji Jian asked.
The woman in red slowly raised her head, looked at everyone on the city top one by one, and finally said to Ji Jie: "My Sima Xueran, on the order of my master Gui Guzi, I came here to help my senior brother Ji Jie. Please leave the city as soon as possible. Open the door and let me in!"
Junior sister?
Ji Jie was stunned. During the three years in Gui Valley, he rarely had contact with people. Strictly speaking, he was thrown into that abominable valley after entering Gui Valley, so that several of his fellow disciples , he didn’t know their names at all.
Why did a junior sister suddenly appear and look so beautiful!
Furthermore, that old guy Guiguzi never liked me, so why would he send a junior sister to help? Ji Jie was puzzled.
"How can you prove your identity?" Ji Xueling shouted at the woman in red below: "If you are a spy sent by the Wei State, how can we let you in?"
Just at this time, Wei's messengers arrived and shouted arrogantly behind the woman in red: "General Xiao Wei Mou has an order, order Ji Jie to quickly put down his weapons and surrender, otherwise the chickens and dogs... poof... ah!"
The soldier who ordered the order was hit by an arrow in his throat and fell straight off his horse. Looking at the person who released the arrow, it turned out to be a beautiful woman in red. She was holding a simple carved bow. As for when she opened the bow, nocked the arrow and then released the arrow, no one noticed. .
