Great Zhou Tianzi

Ji Jie and his party succeeded in attracting the pursuers. Zhao Guotingwei rode a better horse, and the distance between the two sides became closer and closer.Zhao Guoren had already started to shoot arrows. Although they were not accurate, they also caused a lot of psychological pressure on the fleeing people.

A valley appeared right in front of him, and Ji Jie waved his hand and said, "Everyone, work harder and fight back after entering the valley!"

"Yes!" Everyone shouted in unison.

The person headed by the court guard is named Zhao Can, who serves as the deputy chief of Zhao Wang's court guard. When he got the task of escorting the wedding team, he even showed off to several other deputy chiefs. The escape of the bride caused a serious dereliction of duty, and the crime should be beheaded, so he led nearly two hundred men to chase desperately, in order to atone for the crime.

Entering the valley, the members of the Zhaocheng Guards skillfully set up tripping ropes and various traps without deliberately arranging them. On the other hand, the guards of the palace only know that they are holding weapons and waiting for the arrival of the enemy.

Ji Jie sent another dozen people to lie in ambush on the steep rock walls on both sides of the valley. They brought enough bows and arrows, and they only waited for an order to shoot and kill the pursuers.

The speed of the court guards rushing into the valley was unabated. Zhao Can didn't believe that anyone could complete the transition from offense to defense in such a short period of time, but as soon as he entered the valley, he felt something was wrong. Before he could react, the horse under his crotch was tripped by the rope He fell, and the horses that rushed to the front fell at the same time, and the rider on his back was thrown out without warning.

Immediately, people were turned on their backs, the road in front was blocked, but the people behind were still sprinting with all their strength. Nearly [-] people blocked the entrance of the valley, unable to advance or retreat.

"Fire the arrows!" Ji Jie gave an order, and the people in front of Taniguchi and the people lying in ambush on the stone wall opened their bows and released their arrows at the same time, and then the Tingwei, who was screaming and unable to move, became a living target for them.

Quickly shot three rounds of arrow rain, and countless opponents were killed. Ji Jie replaced the long sword in his hand with a long spear, and shouted: "Follow me!"

When Zhao Can fell off the horse, he was thrown into a mess, and it was precisely because of this that he was lucky enough to escape the three rounds of arrow rain.He glanced back at the few remaining court guards, his eyes were bloodshot, and he roared: "Defend the enemy!"

The remaining dozens of court guards dismounted one after another and formed a small semicircular formation.In the State of Zhao, only the most heroic and skilled soldiers can become court guards. Almost all soldiers regard court guards as their lifelong ideals, and their combat effectiveness can be imagined.

Ji Jie rushed to the front and successfully tore a hole in the formation of the court guards. The soldiers behind began to expand the results of the battle, and saw the weapons intersecting and touching sparks, and the stumps and arms fell to the ground.

The two sides entered into a state of melee, and the dozen or so people standing on the heights lost no time in carrying out sneak attacks on the court guards. This relieved some of the pressure on Ji Jie and the others. Although the court guards were small, it caused him a lot of trouble. trouble.

The casualties of the two sides changed from three to one at the beginning to one to one, and then to one to two, which means that every time a court guard is killed, Ji Jie needs to pay two lives!

Ji Jie pushed aside Zhao Can's weapon with a gun, and quickly changed his moves to pierce Zhao Can's throat with lightning speed, killing the general and greatly reducing the morale of the court guard.

The battle ended quickly, and after counting the number of people, there were less than seventy people left in Ji Jie's place who were still breathing, and that included more than a dozen lightly or severely wounded.

Before he had time to clean up the battlefield, he took out the map, found his location, and said to everyone: "The gang of court guards just now are just the first wave of Zhao Guo's troops. I believe their follow-up team is coming, even though we have occupied a favorable terrain. , but there are only a few dozen people left, unable to block the impact of the Zhao army. Twenty miles west of the valley is the Zhanghe River. What we need to do is to rush there immediately and demolish the Zhanghe Bridge after crossing the river. No matter how many chasing soldiers there are, we can only watch and sigh!"

Everyone had no objection, but the problem in front of him was that he could not walk fast with more than a dozen wounded. He ordered: "The palace guards lead with the wounded and go as fast as possible. I will take the Zhaocheng warriors to break the rear!"

Sure enough, the team escorting the wounded had just walked less than three miles away when General Zhao Sima Shang rushed to Taniguchi with [-] cavalry. Ji Jie, who was hiding in the distance, could see clearly.

In the nearly one month since he came to Zhao State, he has hardly dealt with the military, but this famous General Sima is a man of great reputation. Li Mu's number one fierce general is especially good at cavalry combat, and has swept the north many times. nomadic tribe.

Sima Shang simply looked at Taniguchi's tragic situation, and said to the lieutenant behind him, "This Lord Zhaowen really deserves his reputation, and he easily defeated two hundred of my most elite court guards, you should not be underestimated!"

Deputy General Zhao Kang said disapprovingly: "No matter how powerful they are, there are only about a hundred of them. After this battle, there are at most dozens left. General Sima brought 2000 people, and even one person can drown them with a spit!"

Sima still didn't think so, he frowned and said: "The Pioneer Battalion will follow me to the front, pay attention to the marching rhythm!"

If Sima Shang was not the leader of the army today, he would definitely order a full-speed pursuit. Ji Jie, who was hiding in the dark, would have successfully implemented the strategy of capturing the thief first and capturing the king first.

But Sima Shang was a cautious person, and led the vanguard battalion slowly forward. Everyone carefully watched the places where people might hide, so that it was impossible to sneak attack.

Ji Jie waved his hand and led his men back.

After retreating to the end of the valley, the messenger came to report that the vanguard was still seven or eight miles away from the Zhanghe Bridge, and it would take at least two quarters of an hour to cross the bridge.Ji Jie smiled wryly, and ordered the messengers to return immediately, telling the vanguard to start destroying the bridge immediately after crossing the river, and to demolish the bridge when they arrived.

Seeing that Sima was still close at hand, Ji Jie grabbed the strong bow and put on the feather arrow. After drawing the bow, the arrow pointed upwards slowly, forming a 45-degree angle. This kind of projectile can reach the furthest distance.

"Whoosh..." The feathered arrow shot out, forming a perfect parabola in the sky, and finally nailed to the grass in front of Sima Shang's horse's hoof, the shaft of the arrow was about a third of the way into the ground.

Sima Shang quickly reined in the reins, the horse stopped in place, and the soldiers behind him also stopped in time.

He got off his horse, pulled out the feathered arrow vigorously, and said in a deep voice: "You have seen it, this is Zhao Wenjun Ji Jie and his soldiers. Which one of you has the confidence to shoot the same distance?"

A burly soldier said loudly: "To General Sima, I am willing to give it a try!"

Sima Shang agreed, and the soldier took down the black iron tire bow from his back, took the arrow and aimed it at Ji Jie in the distance, and the bowstring rang and the arrow flew out!
