Zhao Ling shouted: "If you don't kill the envoys when the two countries are at war, why do you want me to do something unjust to my king!"
"To persuade him to surrender with such a tone, he is worthy of death!" The cold words came from Sima Xueran's mouth, with such a tragic taste, but it made everyone who heard it feel that the ordering soldier deserved to die.
Ji Jie looked at Sima Xueren's cold and pretty face and said with a smile: "Junior sister, you are very cruel!"
"Senior brother, I'm so impressed!" Sima Xueran waved the carved bow in his hand and said, "You should know this thing. This is what the teacher asked me to bring to you. It's called the Sun Shooting Bow. He said that when you see this After that, they will no longer doubt my identity! The teacher also asked me to ask, have you found the inner method?"
Sun-shooting bow! It is said that Hou Yi used it to shoot for nine days. Let’s not say whether these so-called legends are true or not. The three words "sun-shooting bow" alone carry a lot of gold content, because apart from Ji Jie, In addition, Guiguzi never mentioned the matter of King Yu's Nine Cauldrons to any of his disciples.
"Open the city gate!" Ji Jie ordered. Although Ji Jian was a little unhappy, he still ordered the soldiers below to open the gate and let Sima Xueran in.
Sima Xueran handed the sun-shooting bow into Ji Jie's hands, bowed and said, "Teacher asked me to help senior brother overcome this difficulty!"
"Then it's Junior Sister Lao!" Ji Jie took the sun-shooting bow with a smile. The bow was heavier than expected, but I couldn't tell what material it was made of. It was neither gold nor wood.
Ji Xueling has never given Sima Xueran a good look. It's no wonder that when two equally outstanding girls stand together, of course neither one is convinced by the other.
Wei Mou, who was in the distance, was furious. He saw with his own eyes that his messenger was shot to death under his horse. He drew his sword and pointed it at Tuolong Pass. He shouted: "Attack, after the city is broken, no chickens or dogs will be left behind." !”
The vanguard battalion and the siege equipment battalion moved forward together. In order to ensure absolute safety, the Wei soldiers wearing three layers of armor raised a shield one after another. In this way, the bows and arrows fired from the city could not hurt them. Half of it.
"Damn it, the people of Wei are so shameless!" Ji Jian spat towards the city and said, "They have nothing to bully us, right? Prepare the trebuchet. Listen to my order, light the fire, and set off !”
Ten porcelain jars filled with kerosene were thrown out and fell straight into the Wei Wu soldiers' formation. The kerosene spread out in all directions. The people on fire began to scream, but they were quickly extinguished with the help of their surrounding companions.
"Change the stone bullets!" Ji Jian yelled and changed the order, and the kerosene on the trebuchet tray was replaced with round stone bullets weighing thirty kilograms.
The stone bullets fell with huge inertia, killing more than a dozen people instantly and injuring more than 20 people. The Wei soldiers immediately changed their formations. They connected their shields together in groups, but their bodies were completely hidden behind the shields. Later, it was used to resist stone bullets.
The destructive power of the stone bullets was still strong, and almost every one of them could save one or two lives. The defenders on the top of the city cheered loudly, and their morale was high.
However, those at the front of Wei Wuzu had already stepped into the nearest firing range of the trebuchet. Ji Jian could only order to shoot at their tall cloud tower. The stone bullets hit the cloud tower, but these behemoths were not even touched. move.
Ji Jie took out an arrow from the quiver, put it on the sun-shooting bow, and said to a few people around him: "Let me try to see if their turtle shells are really that strong!"
"Whoosh..." The feather arrow flew at an extremely fast speed, pierced a shield, and shot through the three layers of armor of the soldiers behind it without losing any force. The whole process was like destroying everything.
The soldier who was hit by the arrow fell to the ground. His death brought great psychological pressure to his companions around him. Many of them even began to doubt whether it would be okay if their armor fell to the ground.
Sima Xueran's eyes on Ji Jie have changed a lot. In the beginning, she only had basic respect for him. Now she finally understands why Gui Guzi, an old man with high eyesight, values her senior brother so much, even though she herself does the same. He is a master of archery, but he knows very well that he cannot do what he did just now.
"Their vanguard is going to be in trouble!" Ji Xueling said in a relaxed tone. Ji Jie, Ji Jian and Zhao Ling nodded to each other. Only Sima Xueran was kept in the dark.
"Crash...plop..."
A deep pit appeared on the originally flat ground, up to one foot deep, with sharp bamboo poles inserted upside down. Anyone who accidentally fell into it would have a hard time climbing out even if he was not stabbed to death. The three cloud towers also fell into it. , I can’t push it out no matter what.
"Ji Jian, add fire to them!"
"Got the order!" Ji Jian waved his hand, and the stone bullets were replaced with kerosene jars again, and they were thrown towards the trap one by one. The Wei soldiers who were trapped in the pit were caught in the sea of fire, and soon three of them were trapped. The Yunlou car also started to burn.
Xiao Wei Mou watched helplessly as the attack was blocked. He never expected that Ji Jie would dig so many traps on the wide front of Tuolong Pass. The density and depth were astonishing. If he had known it would be like this, he shouldn't have done so from the beginning. If you underestimate the enemy, at least send someone over to gather information.
"Retreat for the time being, put in sandbags, fill the holes and push forward!" Wei Mou ordered.
The Wei army temporarily retreated, leaving hundreds of their companions still screaming in the fire pit. Under the cover of the shield bearers, bags of sand were filled into the deep pit.
"Ji Jie, I want to see what other tricks you can do!" Xiao Wei Mou looked like he was determined to win. In his opinion, how could the still-fresh Ji Jie be compared to a man who has experienced hundreds of battles? opponent.
The winch made intensive creaking sounds, and stone bullets and kerosene were continuously thrown out. Although Wei Wuzu began to advance smoothly, due to the huge pit filling project, they could only fill a twenty-foot-wide road, and the number of people , the equipment was gathered in a pile, and it became a living target. When the stone bullet hit it, it almost penetrated the candied haws, and the lethality was several times greater.
"Change the peppercorns!"
A jar of pepper powder exploded in Wei Wu's body, and the pungent smell came immediately. Sneezes were everywhere, and their tears and snot began to race. Many people subconsciously threw away their shields, took off their helmets, and rubbed their eyes and noses.
"The opportunity has come, fire arrows!" Ji Jie gave the order, and the first round of arrow rain was fired from the top of the city, with thousands of feathered arrows roaring towards the city.
Without the protection of their shields and helmets, the soldiers of Wei fell to pieces. In a short time, almost all the vanguard troops were wiped out. Those who were lucky enough not to be shot to death began to flee. Just kidding, why fight if you can't open your eyes!
"How could this happen!" Xiao Wei Mou roared hysterically.
The last time Zhaocheng fought against bandits, Zanthoxylum bungeanum powder played a decisive role. Ji Jian never forgot about it. When preparing supplies a few days ago, he brought back all the remaining Zanthoxylum bungeanum from the fiefdom, and it worked wonders again.
In just half an hour, Wei Wuzu left behind at least 600 corpses and five Yunlou vehicles, and the vehicle was almost destroyed in a trap. However, Ji Jie was not injured at all, so it was a great victory.
