Yuan Shao approached the camp with tens of thousands of troops, riding on a horse, he looked at the camp and smiled coldly. This time in the battle, Wang Lei must be defeated.

Yuan Shao looked at Gao Ran and ordered: "Gao Ran, this battle is under your full command!" ”

"The lord rest assured, the last general will live up to the trust of the lord."

Gao Ran has high morale and great confidence in himself. For this battle, he also put a lot of thought into it. Gao Lanren was in the middle army, riding on a horse and looking at the Jizhou army camp in front of the army formation, and ordered: "Order, catapult preparation!" ”

Immediately, the flag-bearer who followed Gao Ran immediately waved the flag and gave the order in the flag language.

In an instant, one by one, the catapults drove out, approached the Jizhou military camp, and stopped ten zhang away. Next to each catapult, there were soldiers carrying stones, ready to bombard the camp.

Gao Ran did not hesitate, and ordered: "Archer, prepare!" ”

In an instant, one by one, the archers immediately dispatched and stopped thirty feet outside the camp.

"Attack!"

The order was given, catapults and archers, began to attack.

"Whew! Shout!!! ”

Bows and arrows broke through the air, with a sharp roar, and under the illumination of the sun, the arrows flashed with a trace of light, and went straight to the Jizhou military camp. Dense bows and arrows, like a rain of arrows, shot into the camp.

The momentum of the bow and arrow attack is terrifying.

At the same time, one by one, stones were launched by catapults, cutting through the sky and falling into the camp.

"Boom !!"

The rumbling sound continued to be heard, and the stone fell to the ground, smashing a small crater.

As soon as he came up, Gao Ran was aggressive.

Yuan Shao's army attacked, and Wang Lei brought his civilian officers and military generals to the front camp. Wang Lei's eyes fell on Zhang Jaw, and he said in a deep voice: "Jun Yi, you are good at defense, this battle is up to you." Generals are at your disposal, but you must win beautifully. ”

"No!"

He responded respectfully, with a confident expression and no fear.

He has fought with Gao Ran many times, and Zhang Jaw has long been familiar with Gao Ran's methods. This time, there are more people who can call on the open jaw, and there are more weapons that can be called, and the operation is more convenient.

Zhang Jaw took over the command, arranged it slowly, and said: "The projection vehicle outside the camp is not able to carry out long-range attacks like bows and arrows due to insufficient strength, so the distance from the camp is very close. Moreover, there were only ten catapults used by Yuan Jun this time, and the distance of the projectile was at most ten zhang. ”

After some explanation, he did not hurry up, and Zhang Jaw continued: "As for the archers sent by Gao Ran, they are about thirty zhang away from the camp, but they are all fired indiscriminately, and there is no accuracy. These two things are the first thing to be resolved and resisted. ”

The generals nodded, waiting for the jaw to give the order.

With a wave of his hand, he commanded: "Archer, prepare!" ”

With the order given, fifty archers came out. These archers, in groups of five, were well prepared. When they appeared, they quickly came to the arrow tower built in the camp and aimed at the catapults outside the city.

This attack is not an ordinary counterattack.

Each of the five soldiers did his duty, and one of them held an iron shield to fend off the arrows that came at him. The other two, with ordinary bows and arrows, counterattacked, targeting soldiers who were adding stones to the catapult ten feet away. The remaining two soldiers, working together, took out a bow and arrows soaked in fire oil wrapped in arrows, and the other set fire to attack the catapult that was placed ten feet away.

Ten groups of archers launched a fierce attack on the ten catapults outside the camp.

At this time, Zhang Jaw gave another order.

I saw the soldiers in the battalion bringing sacks of burlap with mud and sand. The bags were piled up to form a line of defense against the bows and arrows fired from outside the camp.

Gao Ran's offensive was like a tiger, but his jaw was not slow, resisting Gao Ran's attack.

The two sides have not yet clashed in strength, but the battle is hot.

Zhang Jaw made a defensive measure, waved his hand, and commanded: "Bow and crossbow ready!" ”

Immediately, the soldiers in the battalion began to move again.

One by one, the soldiers took their bows and crossbows, quickly came to the inside of the defense line built by the sacks, and placed the crossbows on the sandbags. These crossbows are the giant crossbows of the army, a giant crossbow on which two bows and arrows can be placed, which is equivalent to two archers shooting.

After placing it, Zhang Jaw said: "Lord, this battle has just begun." ”

In fact, the confrontation has indeed just begun.

It didn't take long for the jaw opening arrangement to have an effect.

Outside the camp, catapults were set on fire. Next to the catapult, the soldiers who added stones and threw stones were also constantly being shot.

There were no soldiers, and the catapult caught fire, and the catapult quickly lost its effectiveness.

Wang Lei laughed and said, "Junyi, the other party's catapult has lost its effect, your arrangement is very good." ”

Zhang Jaw looked very calm, and said lightly: "Lord, it is normal for the catapult to lose its effect. The catapult arranged by Gao Ran, although the attack was effective, was placed naked - naked - in front of my eyes, without any defense, this was for me to destroy. If it were me, I would never use a catapult like this, it would be a waste of resources. ”

There was a thick disdain in his tone.

Wang Lei nodded with satisfaction, his eyes turned, and he fell on the battlefield again.

The two sides clashed, the catapult was ineffective, and the bows and arrows fired did not have much effect. Seeing this, Gao Ran was not in a hurry. On the one hand, let the archers under his command continue to fire bows and arrows to suppress the power of Wang Lei's camp. On the other hand, Gao Ran ordered: "Pass the order, the vanguard army will charge and break through Wang Lei's camp." ”

The order was given, and a full three thousand soldiers were in the vanguard and launched the first wave of attacks.

Densely packed with soldiers, there are countless of them.

Wang Lei saw that Yuan Jun had launched a substantial attack and shook his head slightly. Zhang Jaw's arrangement just now, Wang Lei saw it clearly, Yuan Jun wanted to break through the camp of the front camp, and it was very difficult.

Gradually, the soldiers of the Yuan army approached the camp, and the distance was less than thirty zhang.

Soon, the distance was shortened again, and only twenty zhang was left.

Wang Lei saw it in his eyes, and there was a trace of doubt between his eyebrows, so far, doesn't Zhang Jaw plan to fight back head-on? Do you want to let the opposing soldiers approach before you start to counterattack?

Although he had doubts in his heart, Wang Lei did not intervene and let Zhang Jaw command.

When the distance was less than twenty zhang, the charging Yuan soldiers, the surging momentum, were suddenly frustrated. One by one, the soldiers of the Yuan Army suddenly fell to the ground and screamed loudly. When this scene appeared, Wang Lei suddenly understood, and said: "Jun Yi, within twenty zhang outside the camp, have you placed thistle?" ”

Zhang Jaw nodded and replied, "The lord is wise, except for the official road at the entrance of the camp, there are thistles everywhere else. Gao Ran wanted the soldiers to attack in a big way, but it was still difficult. And the official road outside the door, as well as the defense such as rejecting horses, it is not so easy to approach the camp. ”
