Wang Lei said: "Full of confidence, very good, I look forward to the counterattack. ”

Lu Bu, Huang Zhong, Dian Wei, Jia Xu, Guo Jia and other civil and military people were also quite surprised when they looked at Zhang Jaw's eyes. Among the generals under Wang Lei, Zhang Jaw is a very inconspicuous existence. When Han Fu served as the pastor of Jizhou, Zhang Jaw was just a very ordinary military Sima and was not reused.

During Wang Lei's reign, Zhang Jaw has been stationed in Ping'en County and rarely appears in the public eye.

Therefore, few people know the ability of open jaws.

This time, Yuan Shao led the army to attack, and he opened his jaw to the limelight.

Zhang Jaw looked calm and ordered: "Come on, prepare the catapult!" ”

The order was given, and the soldiers quickly prepared and launched catapults from the battalion. Compared with the catapult of the Yuan soldiers, the catapult mastered by Zhang Jaw required more soldiers, and the distance of the projectile was also longer, and the power was greater. In addition, in Zhangjaw's battalion, there were twenty taels of catapults, lined up, stationed on the inside of the sandbag defense line.

Dian Wei, Lu Bu and the others frowned again when they saw this scene.

Is it just a catapult, can it withstand the attack of Yuan's army?

Under the suspicious gaze of everyone, the soldier moved. The soldiers, standing next to the catapult, took out the prepared projectile. What was taken out was not stones, but clay pots.

Wang Lei's mind moved, the corners of his mouth rose, and a thick smile appeared on his face.

He already knew what he was thinking.

"Ready!"

He opened his jaw and roared, and the long sword at his waist was unsheathed with a sonorous sound.

The long sword slashed down, and the open jaw roared: "Release!" ”

In an instant, next to each catapult, the soldier in charge of pulling the rope began to exert force. The rope tightened, and the crockpot carried by the catapult at the long end was gradually lowered to a minimum, and then the rope suddenly loosened, and the lever rebounded, and it was thrown upward. The crockpot whistled out of the camp and swept through the air.

One by one, the clay pots flew through the air, as if a meteorite had fallen, and the sound was terrifying.

"Bang dang!"

The crockpot smashed against the shield, and under the impact of the huge force, in an instant, the crockpot shattered.

The oil in the clay pot flowed out.

At the same time, there was hay cut into small sections in the crockpot, all of which was soaked in oil. The hay flowed out with the oil and down the shield.

"Bang dang! Bang dang!!! ”

Outside the camp, the sound of crockpots shattering was heard one after another.

In a matter of moments, nearly a hundred clay pots filled with fire oil were thrown out, all shattered to the ground.

Ten feet away from the camp, there was fire oil.

Yuan Shao saw the scene of throwing a crockpot, laughed, and said disdainfully: "Wang Lei is really whimsical, instead of attacking with stones, he attacks with crockpots." Did he think that when the crockpot shattered, the debris would be able to hold back the advance of the soldiers? It's really wishful thinking. In this battle, Wang Lei will undoubtedly lose. ”

"Wang Lei's purpose can't be so simple, there must be something strange in it."

Xu You frowned, his expression serious.

Gao Rou's eyes were solemn, and she said slowly: "Lord, the crockpot that Wang Lei put out is not only used for attacking, but also plays a more important role in fire attack. The crockpot must be filled with oil. ”

The tone was firm, and Gao Rou was even more worried.

"Fire attack?" Yuan Shao shook his head lightly and denied: "Impossible." ”

Gao Ran, as the commander of the army, has been on the battlefield for a long time, and when he saw this scene on the battlefield, he was inexplicably worried. He pursed his lips and clenched his fists, feeling the weight of the pressure.

"Whew! Shout!! ”

Suddenly, in the Jizhou military camp, rockets suddenly rose.

"It's coming!"

Gao Rou had a cold face and sighed.

In mid-air, rockets rose into the air. Under the sun, the fire of the rocket appeared very faint, and the fire on the end of the arrow was almost invisible, but the smoke from the rocket was clearly visible.

"Boom!!"

The rocket hit the ground and ignited the oil in one fell swoop.

The land ten zhang away from the Jizhou military camp was soaked with fire oil. Even many of the soldiers who fell to the ground had fire oil. As soon as the rocket landed, in an instant, pieces of fire quickly burned.

The soldiers, advancing with shields on their heads, were immediately blocked.

The monstrous fire, in a short period of time, was strung together to form a sea of fire.

The burning heat that stings the skin is uncomfortable.

The fire is raging, harvesting lives. One by one, the soldiers were ignited by the fire, and in the uncontrollable pain, they threw away the shields in their hands, gave up the charge, and kept struggling. However, there were still sparsely placed thistles on the ground, and there were dense crossbow arrows in the air, and the soldiers of the Yuan army who were stranded outside the camp were in a desperate situation.

In a moment, the soldiers of the Yuan army were in a mess.

Countless soldiers, began to retreat.

When Yuan Shao saw this scene, all the previous joy disappeared, and all that was left was endless anger. Yuan Shao looked at Gao Ran, his expression was gloomy, and he said in a deep voice: "General Gao, Wang Lei has broken your plan again, what else can be done?" ”

Gao Ran pursed his lips, and there was a thick helplessness in his eyes.

Is this battle just lost?

He was unwilling!

However, what if you are unwilling?

Gao Ran stared at the sea of fire outside the camp, looking at the soldiers who were struggling to be killed one by one, and his heart ached. Gao Ran watched, but couldn't think of a solution.

Wen Chou's eyes rolled, and he suddenly said: "Lord, the fire is spreading, if it approaches the Jizhou army camp, the camp will definitely burn, and when the time comes, Wang Lei will definitely be defeated." They didn't take this into account. ”

A glimmer of hope suddenly rose in Yuan Shao's heart, and said, "That's right, wait, wait and see." ”

Xu You shook his head in his heart, but did not speak.

Yuan Shao's army temporarily halted the charge and continued to charge, and the fire outside the camp became more and more intense, and the heat wave spread, or indeed spread towards the camp.

Zhang Jaw looked calm, watching the fire approach the camp, but did not move.

An anxious look appeared in Lu Bu's eyes, and he said, "General Zhang, the fire has spread towards the camp, hurry up and use sand and stones to extinguish the fire." ”

Zhang Jaw said calmly: "General Lu, a foot outside the camp, I have asked the soldiers to clear a long line three feet wide and around the entire camp. This place is covered with mud and sand. As soon as the fire was close to the camp, it was impossible for it to spread again. At most, there was some heat in the camp, and it didn't have much impact. ”

Lu Bu's eyes were surprised, with a look of admiration, and he hugged his fists and said: "General Zhang's ability, this general is convinced." Lu Bu was convinced, and he couldn't help but show a smile on his open face.

When Wang Lei saw this, he was not worried at all. He took Guo Jia, Jia Xu and others to turn around and return to the big tent, and handed over all the defense to Zhang Jaw.

Wang Lei can relax, but Yuan Shao cannot. Yuan Shao saw that the fire was approaching the camp, so he stopped moving forward, and immediately understood.

This battle is difficult to win!

"Withdraw!"

Yuan Shao snorted, no longer entangled, and ordered a retreat.
