At dusk, the trumpet sounded.

The Chu army beat the war drums of the attack and began to march towards Jimo City.

Among the twenty-five Chu troops, the number of cavalry reached 80,000.

Most of these cavalry were the cavalry of the Zhao State absorbed by the overlord of Western Chu, and most of them had the characteristics of the Hu people, and even wore the clothes of the Hu people, their weapons were mainly scimitars, and each of them carried arrows and longbows behind their backs.

Undoubtedly, a cavalry archery unit.

This is a cavalry of the Zhao State with a tradition of one or two hundred years.

In order to get the support and recognition of these Hu people, he did not hesitate to personally put on Hu clothes and live in the Hu lifestyle, and finally the national strength of Zhao was greatly prosperous, especially the number of cavalry increased dramatically, and the strength was not under Qin, and he was the only one who had the ability to compete with Qin in the late Warring States period.

Although the current Zhao State is no longer the former Zhao State, but in the Zhao State these Hu tribes still exist, they are good at raising horses and proficient in riding and archery, so they are born with excellent cavalry, as long as a little training can become an army, Xiang Yu in the late Qin Dynasty to the north to rescue Zhao rushed to Julu, once in Fan Zeng helped me to choose, from the Zhao State to absorb this army as their own, which has also become an important cavalry force of the Chu army.

As for the strength of more than 100,000 infantry, it is not weak.

Although it is not as elite as Xiang Yu, its quality and strength are a few cuts higher than that of ordinary princes' soldiers.

"Report ——!"

"The rebels don't want to surrender!"

A messenger who went to persuade him to surrender, Pegasus came back to report the news.

Zhong Liwei frowned when he heard this, he was surprised by the result.

Ji Bu looked at Jimo City in the afterglow of the sunset: "It's really a thing that doesn't know the height of the sky, Tian Rongdu has been killed by the king, what is this Zhao Kuangyin, retreating to a mere Jimo, just like blocking the offensive of the Chu army?"

Zhong Liwei didn't see it that way: "Ji Bu, don't underestimate the enemy, Zhao Kuangyin was originally under the account of the Chu army, but unfortunately he left without being discovered by the king." This person's ability is extraordinary, we need to be cautious and do our best!"

"Just him?" Ji Bu was still full of disdain: "Tens of thousands of Qi rebels, destroy them immediately, I don't want the king to think that we can't even deal with this kind of pawn!"

Beat the drums and send troops!

The army begins to advance!

Although Zhong Liwei was impressed by Zhao Kuangyin, he was only cautious, and he could not reach the level of fear at all.

Even if it is an ordinary general, as long as he has three times the strength, it is enough to launch a siege.

Zhong Lihuan and Ji Bu are both famous generals with extraordinary skills and military skills, and they have four times the morale of the Chu army, and now that the morale of the rebels of the Qi State is low, I am afraid that the general's military skills will be greatly weakened, Zhong Lihuan really can't think of a reason not to attack!

The army of 250,000 was divided into two parts.

The infantry units formed a defensive formation, which was the main force responsible for the siege.

Cavalry units were arranged in the rear, and cavalry did not participate directly in the siege, but could be a powerful auxiliary.

Seeing that he was getting closer and closer to Jimo, Ji Bu no longer hesitated, and immediately exercised his skills, and the military skills were immediately unleashed, and every soldier was shrouded in a faint light film, which can effectively absorb all types of damage, including flames, freezing, archery, and slashing, and the soldiers protected by this light film will greatly improve their survivability.

None of the five tiger generals under the account of the overlord of Western Chu are general.

Ji Bu is precisely one of the five famous generals, who is good at infantry combat, like the siege war, the biggest yard of the attacking side is that the strategic high ground in which the two sides are located is not equal. The defenders can attack frantically by all means, and the besieging side is often unable to counterattack.

The reason why Jibu chose to use this weapon.

It is to maximize the resistance of soldiers.

Don't underestimate a layer of defensive light film, because it can resist all types of attacks, and after it is broken, it will automatically condense within three or five seconds, which makes each soldier quite have a protective shield that can be constantly recharged, and the advantages brought are unimaginable!

"Kill! Go to the top of the city first!

The momentum of the Chu soldiers was like a rainbow, like a wolf and a tiger, all staring at the defensive light film, and rushed towards the Jimo city wall.

Seeing this situation, Zhong Liwei often sighed in his heart: "It's a pity!"

Although he felt a little sorry for Zhao Kuangyin, who was stubborn and stupid, Zhong Lixuan was not a person who would be affected by this, and he also gathered his military skills and commanded the cavalry troops to attack.

The 80,000 Hufu cavalry rode forward, and at the same time, they pulled out their longbows one after another, and a dense rain of arrows suddenly rose from the earth.

An unbelievable scene has occurred!

Zhong Liwei also took out his war bow and shot several arrows into the sky in succession, each arrow in a different direction, shooting at the two towers of the Jimo City Wall and two other towers.

The rain of arrows is starting to change!

Zhong Liwei's arrow had just been inserted into the tower, and the rain of arrows, which had no direction to speak of, was completely a covering blow, as if they were all attracted by magnets, and all changed direction and concentrated towards the tower.

That's tens of thousands of arrows!

Even the strongest towers can't withstand this kind of devastation!

Under a dense and rapid burst of indiscriminate fire like a raging storm, the entire tower was suddenly torn apart, and it was directly crushed to pieces by the dense rain of arrows. Not only this tower, but the other also collapsed, and two streams of arrows were directed to the city walls, causing a devastating and dense fire almost instantaneously.

Is this Zhong Lixi's arrow weaponry?

Zhong Liwei is a rare mounted archery general!

In fact, on the ancient battlefield, the hit rate of arrows is very low, and it is very good to have a killing target with a hundred arrows, this is because there is no way to aim on the battlefield, so you can only carry out a hasty covering strike, so many arrows cannot be used at all.

If the rain of arrows can be channeled, it can even be highly set on fire!

It's going to be a terrible sight!

With a high-defense force like Ji Bu and a rain of arrows from Zhongli, with the cooperation of the two, it was almost seamless and invulnerable, how could such a city be able to hold it? It is estimated that the effect caused by this wave of arrow rain is enough to completely break the morale of the defenders!

The Chu soldiers are getting closer and closer to the city wall!

But at this moment, a faint voice came from the distant clouds: "Ambush on all sides: fog!"

Ji Bu rushed to the front, and was suddenly surprised to find that a heavy fog appeared in all directions, and the fog seemed to be born from the void, and the speed of spreading was very fast, almost instantly filled with Chu soldiers, five feet away, it was difficult to distinguish between people and animals.

"It's a martial arts...... How is it possible to use military arts?"

Zhong Liwei found that the Chu army was shrouded in fog and showed an unbelievable look, how could the Qi State be in such a state of adversity, how could it still launch such a powerful military technique? Unless the other party was a Confucian general who could combine his heroic spirit with military skills and stimulate his fighting spirit through Confucian heroic energy, but even so, the strength of this military skill was too strong.

Judging from the scale of the fog alone, this person's combat skills are not trivial.

I'm afraid that the other party's military attainments are far above Zhong Liyuan and Ji Bu.

The two Chu generals immediately thought at the same time: "There must be a master of soldiers in Jimo City!"
