Great Zhou Tianzi

The Rong and Di people began to be defeated, and Ji Jie joined forces with the three brothers of the Xiong family.

Under the leadership of King Rongdi, the Rongdi people fled to the mountains ten miles away from the border town and took up defense. Ji Jie ordered the troops to stop.

"Your Majesty, why don't you chase after him!" Xiong Ba waved his ax and said, "That mountain is not high, I can take it down with a single charge!"

"Don't chase after the poor!" Ji Jie said in a deep voice, "This battle has already yielded a lot. After all, most of us are new recruits participating in the battle for the first time. It is not easy to achieve such a result. , It’s not good for us to continue fighting, follow my order, everyone retreats to the border town to rest, and strictly prevents the enemy from counterattacking!”

"Order!"

1 people retreated back to the border city in a mighty way. In this battle, more than [-] enemy soldiers were beheaded. In addition to the number of people lost in previous sieges, the Rongdi people lost a quarter of their number, and countless wounded. There are only a few thousand people left.

King Rongdi regretted in his heart, hated himself for not taking the words of King Chidi and Blechuan seriously. If the attack on the front line was not blocked, how could he end up being attacked by the enemy? He wanted to rob all the food stored in the border city , Now it's all right, but the food was not grabbed, but a large number of troops were lost.

"My lord, victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs, so don't worry too much about it!" King Chidi persuaded: "Although we were defeated for a while, fortunately, our vitality was not hurt!"

King Rongdi said in his heart, of course you don't mind, all the fighters who died in the battle in the past two days were all fighters from our Baidi tribe. Fortunately, we retreated in time today, otherwise there would not be a few Baidi people left!

"You two kings, I think we should hurry up and think of a strategy against the enemy!" Bulechuan stepped forward and said, "That kid Ji Jie is very wicked, if we can't break his witchcraft, we can't take it." Cheap."

Recalling the tragic scene just now, King Rong Di still had lingering fears in his heart. He nodded and said, "Call all the smart people in the army over, and let's find a way together. We must take down the border town and avenge the dead warriors!"

……

With 1 people living in the border town, the small city seemed a bit crowded.

The guard Yan Shun gave up the post of city guard with a wink, and Ji Jie did his part. He is a mighty general who is several ranks higher than the guards of the small border towns. Besides, with the eldest princess Ji Lin backing him, who would dare not accept it.

The bravery of the three Xiong brothers impressed all the soldiers. The recruits grew into real soldiers after being baptized by the flames of war.

Ji Lin became more and more impressed by Ji Jie's ability. In such a short period of time, the newly recruited soldiers could have such strong fighting power, which she would never have imagined before.

Ji Jie stood on the city wall, and below were sergeants standing neatly.

"Everyone performed very well!" Ji Jielang said in a loud voice: "When the Rong and Di people are driven away and the class teachers return to the court, they will be rewarded for their merits and deeds. As long as they have made achievements in this battle, regardless of their origin, they will all be promoted. Enter the noble!"

"General Huwei is mighty!" Everyone shouted together, their voices shaking the sky and the earth.

Since it is a new army, it is necessary to break the corrupt promotion system of the army of Yan State. Only when the soldiers have hope can they work for you.

After this battle, the two armies defended their respective positions and could not hold on.

King Rongdi ordered people to make new siege equipment, and at the same time sent someone to send a letter to King Xirong, asking him to send troops to help.

The relationship between King Xirong and Qin Xiangguo Lu Buwei is very good. In the past two years, with the support of Qin State, it has developed rapidly, and even surpassed the momentum of Chidi and Baidi tribes. Since autumn, he has repeatedly harassed the border of Dazhou However, most of the time, they were repelled by the patrol team of Dazhou. They were worrying about how to solve the problem of food for the winter, and the messenger sent by King Rongdi happened to arrive.

The king of Xirong agreed without hesitation, but he had one condition: he would send [-] troops only if he took [-]% of the total food in order to take down the border town, even if he lost even one grain.

King Rong Di promised to give him [-]%, he wanted [-]%, and the remaining [-]% ​​went to King Chidi.

King Chidi dared not speak out, but he was the one who launched the attack at the beginning, and he was the one who put in a lot of hard work, but now he is the one who gets the least share, these white-eyed wolves!

When the Xirong people joined in, the army strength of Rong and Di changed from [-] to [-], more than twice that of Ji Jie.

There was only one reason why Ji Jie didn't fight these days, and that was to actively prepare for the battle. Even if the border wall was low and the ditch was shallow, it was better than a flat open field. By making good use of this, the enemy's spirit could be slowly polished.

Rolling logs and rocks are basically inexhaustible things, so you need to prepare a lot; make dozens of spears into a knife cart, and make a total of dozens of them, and put them on the city wall. During the war, move to the position where the enemy's ladder will fall, and deal with the enemy above.

Smash sulfur and saltpeter into small pieces, stuff them into bundles of firewood, and stack them on the city wall. This thing will burn no less smoke than pure sulfur and saltpeter.

Both sides were ready to fight. When they were about to fight, the weather was not good, and an autumn rain came unexpectedly. It seemed that it would last at least half a month. Both the attacking side and the defending side were greatly affected. Influence.

King Rong Di ordered not to attack the city for the time being. After carefully studying the map, he decided on a new strategy of water attack.

The continuous autumn rain connected several nearby rivers together, and the water level rose accordingly. He ordered people to build dams at high places to store water, and when there was enough water, the gates were opened to flood the border town.

As long as water accumulated more than a foot deep in the border city can be caused, the feet of Yan soldiers will have to soak in the water. After a few days, they will fester and lose their combat effectiveness. Armor and weapons will also rust, and bowstrings will rot and break. After the rain stops, we will be able to win the city in one fell swoop.

What King Rong Di thought of, Ji Jie also thought of.

On the one hand, he sent people to dig drainage ditches in the city and move the army camps to higher places. On the other hand, he sent people to dig diversion channels outside the city. Once King Rong Di ordered the gates to be opened, he would realize how insane his strategy was. madness.

It rained for ten days, and the amount of water stored in the river was more than three times that of before the rain. King Rong Di personally commanded his men to open the hole.

The flood that poured down was like a galloping horse, roaring towards the border town. In his eyes, the border town seemed to be a city of fish and turtles.

Seeing that the flood was about to pour into the city, it changed in front of the city wall. Most of it was diverted to several other rivers by the diversion canal, and a small part remained in the diversion canal, forming three circles outside the city.

Obviously there are three moats!

The farthest one is tens of feet away from the city wall, and there are only two options to get close to the city wall, swimming over or building a bridge under the rain of arrows.

One is fine, now there are three moats, how many soldiers will be killed or killed just crossing these three rivers?King Rong Di was dumbfounded. He thought his strategy was foolproof, but he didn't expect to help Ji Jie.

Ji Jie was very successful in playing tricks.
