[There was a power outage yesterday, so I will make up a chapter. Please support by collecting and sending flowers!]
The Wei army has regrouped and will launch an attack on the city early tomorrow morning.
The news was brought by Sima Xueran. Ji Xueling, Ji Jian and Zhao Ling were all suspicious to varying degrees. Only Ji Jie was convinced.
"They have prepared more siege equipment this time. Last time, our trebuchets caused them great losses. This time they have also mobilized a lot of them, with much greater range and power!" Sima Xueran talked as if she had seen these things with her own eyes: "Xiao Wei Mou changed his tactics and tied some shields to long ladders. Once there was a trap on the ground, he would immediately put it on top so that people could step on it. The shield continues to charge forward. A lot of thick face towels are also prepared to protect against the pungent smell of pepper powder. I guess we are going to have a fierce battle!"
Ji Jie shrugged and said nonchalantly: "These can only ensure that they don't suffer the same losses as last time. He has his own strategies to deal with the enemy, and I have my own way of fighting! Zhao Ling, take advantage of the fact that the Wei army has not arrived yet, and lead The headquarters brought seven days of dry food out of the city, and their food routes must be cut off. I want the Wei troops to worry about not having enough to eat at all times! Ji Jian is responsible for defending the city, and Xue Ling and Xue Ran are in charge of the reserve team. Assistance will be provided wherever needed. Get on top!"
"It's your order!" the four of them shouted together.
Early the next morning, the Wei army gathered outside Tuolong Pass. A large number of siege equipment shone in the sun. There was a little unconfidence on the soldiers' faces, not as arrogant as last time.
When the siege battle began, Ji Jian first let the trebuchets in the city hit the Wei army's trebuchets. Stone bullets and kerosene jars flew one after another. After a while, the Wei army's trebuchet position was in a mess. No wonder, one side Hiding under the city wall and disappearing without a trace, one party laid out his battle openly and openly, it would be strange not to be beaten.
This was the first miscalculation that Xiao Wei Mou made today. He thought that the trebuchet function would put a certain amount of psychological pressure on the defenders. If he was lucky, he could even directly smash a gap in the city wall. Who knew that he hadn't been able to use it yet? The abilities I should have are almost completely exhausted.
"The infantry rush forward, and whoever climbs to the top of the city will be rewarded with a hundred gold coins!" Xiao Wei Mou promised a heavy reward: "Whoever kills Ji Jie will be rewarded with ten thousand gold coins!"
Although the attack encountered more serious obstacles than last time, the Wei army advanced much faster and more smoothly than last time.
The soldiers of the Wei Dynasty rushed forward without any casualties, and the ladders climbed up to the city wall. They held their shields and held their weapons in their teeth, and climbed up using their hands and feet. Several cloud carts were pushed to the corresponding position, and the front flap opened, revealing Archers shoot against the city wall.
There were shouts of killing from above and below the city, rolling logs and stones fell like raindrops, and ladles of hot kerosene poured down from the top, quickly turning into a sea of fire.
The fighting lasted for an hour and was always in a stalemate. At this time, there was a thunder in the sky and raindrops began to fall, and the raindrops began to fall heavier and heavier. Xiao Wei Mou had no choice but to order the troops to retreat and wait for the rain to stop before attacking again.
In this battle, Wei soldiers left more than 1,600 corpses, and the number of casualties on the Tuolong Pass side also reached more than 500. Fortunately, the death toll accounted for a small proportion, and most of the injured were arrow wounds. No harm to life.
Treating injuries and applying medicine, the treatment of the injured in the pass was in an orderly manner, and the reserve teams of Ji Xueling and Sima Xueran contributed a lot.
"The king is coming up!" Someone shouted, and everyone stood up and saluted Ji Jie who came to inspect.
"Everyone, don't move and have a good rest!" Ji Jie motioned for everyone to sit where they were. Looking at these resolute faces, after a bloody battle, the childishness before was gone. He said happily: "Everyone is Well done, this battle has demonstrated our bravery, and at the same time exposed the incompetence of the Wei army, Tuolong Pass will definitely win!"
"Tuolong Pass must be won!" The voice was loud and the morale was high.
Xiao Wei Mou was not very satisfied with the battle just now. After fighting for a whole hour, not a single soldier could successfully climb the city wall. It was about to improve, but God was not in favor.
The mud outside Tuolong Pass is not conducive to the deployment of large troops and the advancement of siege equipment. We can only continue after the road surface dries.
However, Wei Mou could not hold back his desire to win, so he sent the vanguard general Wei Ben to challenge him early the next morning. He was a fierce general in the Wei army and was good at using a long-handled sword.
Wei Ben approached Tuolong Pass with 500 sergeants and started shouting and using very disrespectful words.
Ji Jian asked for a fight, but was rejected by Ji Jie. The reason was simple: he wanted to fight in person and meet this famous Wei general.
"Your Majesty, be careful!" Ji Jian sent 300 people to accompany him, and Ji Jie came out of the city with a gun.
Xiao Wei Mou stood grandly on the chariot, looking at this side from a distance.
"Are you Ji Jie, the traitor who is hiding from my Wei State pass?" Wei Ben's face was full of disdain. He was over thirty years old, but Ji Jie was a young man under twenty years old, so of course he would be looked down upon. .
"You are Wei Ben who is here to die!" Ji Jie said tit for tat.
"The thief is making arrogant words, let me cut you in two!" Wei Ben rushed towards him with his horse. Ji Jie showed no sign of weakness and stepped forward with his gun. The two horses intersected, and the sword and gun collided with each other, making a crisp sound.
With just one move, Wei Ben's hands and jaws went numb. He didn't expect Ji Jie to have such great strength because of his own strength. He originally thought of knocking Ji Jie's spear away with one blow, but then he did another one-sword attack. Who could imagine the difference between reality and imagination? The gap is so far.
In the second round, Ji Jie already knew what he was doing. The spear passed through Wei Ben's defense like a dexterous python and hit him in the right chest. Although it failed to completely pierce his three-layer armor, it still defeated him. Down.
"Save the general quickly!" Wei Ben's men rushed over, and the people behind Ji Jie did not show weakness. The two sides engaged in hand-to-hand combat with a loud sound of swords.
Wei Ben got up from the ground, and the sword had long since disappeared. He stumbled towards his horse, intending to escape.
In the dream, Ji Jie saw it very clearly. He clamped his legs tightly on the horse's belly and rushed towards him. He stabbed him from behind with a shot. His body was lifted high and then fell heavily to the ground!
Wei Ben is too dead to die.
"Your general is dead, who dares to fight with Ji Jie?" Ji Jie roared, as if a god descended from the earth.
"Jun Zhaowen is mighty, Lord Zhaowen is mighty!" Ji Jian, who was behind the dragon's door, took the lead in shouting.
The Wei army was so frightened that they did not care to snatch back Wei Ben's body and fled back in a state of pee. Ji Jie ordered his men not to pursue him but to let them go.
Wei Mou didn't expect that Wei Ben, who was excellent in martial arts, would be so useless. He turned around and asked, "Who else dares to challenge Ji Jie?"
The generals were silent. There were many who were stronger than Wei Ben among them, but Wei Ben couldn't hold out for two rounds and was killed and dismounted. If he really wanted to go into battle on his own, he would have to think carefully about it.
"Report!" A soldier came on horseback and reported: "Report to the general, the team transporting fresh meat was robbed midway, and all the supplies were robbed!"
What, there’s something wrong with the grain channel again!
