The soldiers of Wulei city led by Ji Mu are on their way to peacock ridge. In fact, although Ji Mu rushed to peacock ridge, he was not very willing, because according to the plan, he should have received the news of the action along the Pamir River, and then led the troops to encircle the Qin army. But this time, he didn't get the news.
But the Pamir river has been dug up again.
According to the information reported by the front-line sentinel, the embankment of the Pamir river has been excavated, and the turbulent water has washed into peacock ridge. Especially now, garji has been attacked by the army of Zhang Xiu of the Qin Dynasty.
As soon as Ji Mu heard about this situation, he knew which link must have gone wrong.
Otherwise, it will not be in a mess.
Under such a premise, Ji Mu is not suitable to join in the battle, because once he takes part in the battle, his troops will also get involved and it is difficult to get out of it.
But the problem is that Jimu is now an ally of garji, with kujiula's persuasion. In any case, Ji Mu couldn't stay out of the trouble. He had to lead the soldiers to help.
Even so, Ji Mu is cautious.
The soldiers of peacock mountain are getting closer and closer to LiuLei city.
Jimu is closer to the highland where Ganning is. When Gan Ning looked far away, he could see the black crowd and roughly estimated the distance between the two sides. Within the range of the cannon, Gan Ning did not hesitate and decisively ordered: "fire!"
With an order to fire, the soldiers quickly loaded the shells and lit the fuse.
"Ho! Ho
The fuse burns, and the next moment, a cannon makes a deafening sound, and you can see a shell flying from the mountain, passing an arc in the air, and flying to Jimu's location.
The shells flew through the air and soon reached the top of the Kushan soldiers under Ji Mu's command.
Immediately, it fell into the crowd.
"Boom!"
The shell exploded violently.
"Boom!!"
One after another, the shells exploded, making Ji Mu's soldiers lose countless, and even more, the soldiers were in chaos. At this moment, the guishuang army, which had a strict lineup, was in a mess.
Ji Mu saw his soldiers in chaos, looked up at the direction of the shells, and immediately locked the highland where Ganning was. He judged the position of Gan Ning and the others, frowned and looked solemn.
It's not good!
If he insists on going to peacock ridge, his army will surely be bombarded and suffer heavy losses. Under such a premise, even if you arrive at peacock ridge, it is difficult to compete with the Qin army.
This is what Ji Mu doesn't want.
Ji Mu thought about it quickly, then looked at kujiula and said, "kujiula, you can see the situation now. The Qin army not only stationed in kongqueling, but also arranged people to stop us from rushing for help. If we want to break through by force, we will lose countless soldiers. Even if we can reach peacock ridge, I'm afraid we are not Qin's opponents. "
Kujiula said, "what does the Lord mean?"
Ji Mu said: "I mean, withdraw immediately and return to Wulei city. The city of Wulei city is solid, and there are many defensive measures and cannons on the top of the city, which can resist the Qin army. Now, it is not convenient for us to be the enemy of the Qin army. "
Kujiula's face became very dignified.
He's weighing it in his heart.
Garji was one of the keys for him to go south to seize the power of Kushan. If he lost garji, kujiula would have broken his arm. But if we rush to help garji now, it may lead to Jimu and garji being cut off by the Qin army.
This is what kujura doesn't want to see.
"Go away!"
Kujiula hesitated and gave the order to retreat.
Ji Mu hears the speech, the corner of his mouth raises a smile, he knows that kujiula will agree to withdraw. The reason why he asked kujiula was to maintain the superficial respect.
"Withdraw, withdraw to no thunder city."
Ji Mu immediately ordered.
With Ji Mu's order, the army retreated quickly. If you go to the peacock ridge, Ji Mu's army will be bombarded one after another. However, the retreat was different. After a short distance, the artillery was out of the range, making Ganning's artillery unable to bomb Jimu's army.
Ganning was a bit surprised.
He didn't expect that Ji Mu, who came from Wulei City, would directly admit to retreat and give up on galky.
This is unexpected.
Gan Ning didn't pursue him either, because if he attacks now, he may not be able to win Ji Mu. Moreover, on the official road leading to Wulei City, there may be ambush of Jimu in Wulei City, so Ganning never pursued.
Ganning takes time to recover. Zhang Xiu leads the army and comes from the rear. What Zhang Xiu thinks is the scene of fierce fighting between the two sides. In particular, Ganning will pay a certain price to stop Ji Mu.
But now, there has been no war.Zhang Xiu asked: "xingba, what's the matter. No thunder city army that originally came to peacock ridge, no matter how many people were there. The information reported by the sentinel is that Ji Mu has come with his soldiers. "
Ganning said: "in reply to your majesty, Ji Mu really led the army to peacock ridge, intending to rescue garji. However, after Ji Mu was shelled, he resolutely abandoned the rescue of garji and left directly. So it's the scene of the moment. "
Zhang Xiu frowned at this.
This is not simple.
When in danger, decisive stop loss withdrawal, to ensure that the strength of the army without thunder city will not be damaged. If Ji Mu continues to move forward, he will be bombed by Ganning first, and then meet Zhang Xiu's army, and he will be left in peacock ridge.
Ji Mu retreats decisively, and Zhang Xiu's plan fails.
This is Ji Mu's most cunning.
This person is not easy to deal with.
In other words, Ji Mu is the most cunning one among the many important ministers of Kushan that Zhang Xiu met. In fact, neither vesudeva, nor galchi, nor the rest, would be so willing to withdraw. However, Ji Mu didn't show off his ability, but retreated directly to preserve his strength. Such a situation, Ling ran looked at it with new eyes.
Zhang Xiu ordered: "since Ji Mu has returned to Wulei City, we will go to Wulei city. When the order goes on, the army will continue to march to Wulei city. "
"Here it is
The herald got the order. Let's go down immediately.
The army set out and began to march toward Wulei city.
This time, Zhang Xiu's troops were more than 100000, and the army was strong and powerful, with artillery and many other weapons. The army followed Ji Mu to the direction of Wulei city.
When Ji Mu just returned to Wulei City, he learned that Zhang Xiu's army was coming to Wulei city.
His face turned black.
Here comes Zhang Xiu!
This means that chalky has been defeated.
Now the only one who resists Zhang Xiu is the Lord of Wulei city. In such a situation, even Ji Mu, who is both civil and military, is a veteran on the battlefield, and also feels great pressure.
Ji Mu didn't dare to delay. He immediately took kujiula to the upper floor of the city to arrange the garrison. In particular, on the upper floor of Wulei City, there are also cannons on display.
Once the enemy gets close, these cannons can bombard the enemy.
This is the weapon of the city.
After Ji Mu had arranged everything, Zhang Xiu's army also followed and arrived outside the city of no thunder. However, Zhang Xiu's army was spread out to avoid being bombarded too closely.
Zhang Xiu rode in front of him. He looked up at the city without thunder, with a sharp look on his face. Now, he has to take no thunder city, because the army needs supplies.
According to Xun Yu, after they entered Kushan, they had to find a way to be self-sufficient. Otherwise, relying solely on domestic transportation of grain will raise the cost, which is not conducive to the war.
Zhang Xiu tossed the ground and said: "Lord of Wulei City, where is Ji Mu?"
"I am!"
Ji Mu stood on the tower with sharp eyes.
Dressed in armor, he said forcefully, "Zhang Xiu, you are the emperor of the Qin Dynasty. Now, it's Qin's intruding army. Now, I have arranged for sentinels to go to Peshawar, the capital of China, for help. It won't be long before reinforcements arrive. Even if you have a strong army and considerable strength, you can't stop our Kushan army. "
Zhang Xiu confidently said: "it's nothing to worry about just a city without thunder. Ji Mu, I give you a choice. Now you kill kujiula and surrender to me, then I can continue to let you be the leader of Wulei city. On the contrary, if you insist on resisting, then the fall of chalky is a lesson for you. "
Ji Mu said in a deep voice: "I'm on the upper floor of the city. I'd like to see how you soldiers of the Qin Dynasty can break the city defense of my thunder free city. Zhang Xiu, if you have any means, just use it. "
When Zhang Xiu was about to speak, a sentinel came to her side, lowered his voice, and reported: "Your Majesty, all the artillery are in place, ready to fire."
"Good, good, good!"
Zhang Xiu showed a smile on her face.
The reason why he talks nonsense with Ji Mu is not to make friends or to persuade Ji Mu. Because it is not easy to persuade either Jimu or kujiula.
What Zhang Xiu wants to do is to delay time and fight for time for artillery action.
Then, Zhang Xiu wants to bombard Wulei city.
Zhang Xiu stares at Ji Mu and says in a deep voice: "Ji Mu, you are very good. It's a pity that you are too conceited to hold on. However, in my eyes, this solid city without thunder is like a ruin. "
"Fire!"
Zhang Xiu suddenly roared.
His roar, already burst out all over the strength of the cry. So after this powerful voice came out, it clearly spread to the rear, and one by one the soldiers controlling the artillery heard it.Everyone heard the news and lit the fuse.
The line of fire is burning and rattling.
A moment later, there was a roar of artillery. A gun, the barrel of the smoke, fired pills. However, after the first round of artillery, all the soldiers loaded shells again and continued to bombard Wulei city.
When the first shell fell on the soldiers from the city floor, it exploded immediately, killing and injuring countless people. Make the city upstairs defense, a panic. After all, the watchman on the top of the city is kujiula, and many orders still need kujiula's approval. Without kujiula's order to surrender, no matter how messy the soldiers were, the national army would not care.
