Cao Zhang and Zhang He rode on their horses together, watching side by side as hundreds of catapults continued to advance towards the Han army camp.

After the hundreds of catapults reached a distance of 200 paces from the Han army's camp, under the command of a Wei general, the hundreds of catapults immediately stopped advancing.

Although Ma Jun's improved catapult has a maximum range of nearly 300 steps, the maximum range does not mean that it is an effective killing range.

Ma Jun's improved catapult has the best effective killing range of about 200 paces.

Today, Cao Zhang wanted to finish the battle, so he naturally wanted to put hundreds of catapults in the best range.

After the hundreds of catapults stopped advancing, Cao Zhang couldn't help but raise his whip and smiled at Zhang He on the side:

"Today's enemy camp should be destroyed."

Hearing Cao Zhang's laughter, Zhang He's face also showed a smile.

He didn't think Cao Zhang was exaggerating.

Because of the power of Ma Jun's improved catapult, he had seen it with his own eyes.

On that day, it was just a dozen catapults attacking the Han army camp, which made Liu Feng nervous and had to lead the army out of the camp for the sake of his own catapults.

Not to mention the hundreds of catapults today?

Of course, the most important thing is that Mi Yang's reaction made the last trace of worry in Cao Zhang and Zhang He's hearts disappear.

If they changed places, Cao Zhang and Zhang He asked themselves that if they wanted to defuse their own catapult offensive, the only way to take the initiative to lead the army out of the camp to destroy their own catapult was when their own catapult foothold was not stable.

But it is clear that Mi Yang is not taking this approach at the moment.

Although Mi Yang's immobility made Cao Zhang and Zhang He puzzled, they had been puzzled for a month and didn't want to continue to wait.

Instead of blindly guessing what the enemy will do, it is better to strike first.

At least judging from the current situation, the advantage of today's attack on the camp is really great.

In order to avoid changes in time delay, when hundreds of catapults had just stopped, Cao Zhang issued a military order to send them to the front - load the stones and prepare to bombard!

When Cao Zhang's order arrived in the catapult array, the Wei army under hundreds of catapults filled the catapults with stones according to Cao Zhang's instructions.

But what Cao Zhang didn't know was that as early as when his herald entered the catapult array, the Han army standing on the camp wall also began to load iron crossbow arrows for the crossbow machine flashing with cold light in front of him under Mi Yang's order.

It's just that compared with that day in Yangping Pass, the iron arrows used by Zhuge Repeater's crossbow at the moment exude a pungent smell.

This symbolizes that the iron arrows of the Zhuge repeater are covered with an unusual substance.

And what is this substance, not paraffin?

When the iron arrows covered in stone grease were loaded, Jiang Wan, who had finished commanding the soldiers, came to Mi Yang's side and replied:

"The general can do whatever he wants.

There is no shortage of iron arrows today! ”

Jiang Wan's character is Gongyan, and he is a native of Lingling Xiangxiang.

It can be seen from Jiang Wan's origin that he is a minister in the Jingzhou department.

Although Jiang Wan is similar in age to Ma Liang and is also a famous man in Jingzhou, compared to Ma Liang, Jiang Wan has always been unknown among the Han Dynasty.

This is not because Jiang Wan's ability is not high, but because of his humble and low-key personality.

Or ordinary people don't know Jiang Wan's ability, but how can Mi Yang not know?

Among Zhuge Liang's series of successors, Jiang Wan can be said to be the most similar figure to Zhuge Liang in terms of governing ability.

The reason why Mi Yang had never been in contact with Jiang Wan before was nothing more than because Jiang Wan was often tempered by Zhuge Liang's decentralization.

At the beginning of this year, Jiang Wan was recalled to Chengdu by Zhuge Liang from the local government, worshiped as the prime minister and joined the army, and officially became an important figure in Zhuge Liang's shogunate.

It is not easy to manufacture iron arrows, but the reason why Jiang Wan dared to say to Mi Yang that "there is no shortage of iron arrows" is that in addition to his extraordinary political talent, a large number of iron arrows were transferred from Hanzhong for Mi Yang in a short period of time.

Also because after Zhuge Liang pacified Nanzhong, Ji Han, who obtained the resources of Nanzhong, greatly enriched the treasury.

Under the guarantee of these two aspects, even Jiang Wan, who has always been humble, dares to say the words "there is no shortage of iron arrows".

And Jiang Wan's words couldn't help but make Mi Yang laugh.

What he needs now is Jiang Wan's words.

When Jiang Wan returned to Mi Yang, the Han army on the camp wall had already loaded hundreds of Zhuge crossbows with iron crossbow arrows.

After perceiving this, Mi Yang stretched out his finger and firmly pointed to the location of the hundreds of catapults of the Wei army two hundred paces away.

At the same time, a clear drink came out of Mi Yang's mouth: "Release!" ”

Mi Yang's order is only such a simple word.

But it was this order that fell into the ears of the Han soldiers on the camp wall, as if it had triggered the mechanism of hundreds of Zhuge repeaters.

In the next moment, hundreds of iron arrows rushed towards the Wei army's catapult array with lightning speed.

The actions of the Han army on the camp wall could not hide Cao Zhang and Zhang He, who had been observing the enemy's situation.

And when Cao Zhang saw Mi Yang's vain attempt to destroy the catapult with crossbow arrows, he smiled again.

Today is the second time Cao Chang has laughed.

Cao Zhang's smile was a little disapproving.

As for the possibility of the Han army using fire, Cao Zhang had already anticipated it.

After all, Mi Yang is famous for his good fire attack.

And in order to prevent this, Cao Zhang has already taken all kinds of precautions.

Under those precautions, it is difficult to say whether the arrows of the Han army can fly in front of the catapult, and how can the flames carried by the arrows hurt the catapult?

What nonsense.

But just when Cao Zhang was about to laugh at Mi Yang's miscalculation, the situation on the battlefield gradually changed something that he couldn't understand.

Under the gaze of Cao Zhang, he saw that the arrows released by the Han army in the first round did not carry flames, but they came extremely fast.

Even against the wind, the hundreds of arrows galloped unhindered into the formation of hundreds of catapults.

What was even more strange was that just after the hundreds of formations that galloped into the Wei army, hundreds of arrows followed one after another.

Two rounds of arrow rain offensive, almost without intervals.

Not only were there only two rounds, but soon a third round of arrow rain also shot into the Wei army's formation.

Cao Zhang, who watched this scene, was a little dumbfounded.

The Han army's arrows were able to fly a distance of 200 paces to reach their own formation, proving that the Han army must have an extraordinary crossbow.

There is no such strong crossbow in the world, such as the rhubarb crossbow that gradually equipped the whole army as early as the Western Han Dynasty.

But although the rhubarb crossbow has a long range, it has all kinds of drawbacks.

At least the rhubarb crossbow can't do bursts!

However, from the fact that the Han army was able to continuously launch an offensive of arrow rain, it can be seen that what the Han army is using at the moment must be a strong crossbow with a long enough range and continuous fire.

Is there such a strong crossbow in the world?

Cao Zhang, before being reactivated by Cao Rong, had been under the watchful eye of the envoys sent by Cao Pi in Rencheng, and in this case, Cao Chang was unaware of the existence of the Zhuge Repeater.

It was normal for him to be surprised.

After Zhang He on the side saw the almost non-stop arrow rain offensive of the Han army, he faintly seemed to remember that there was a strong crossbow in the Han army, and that kind of strong crossbow had shined in the battle of Yangping Pass.

But even if he realized this, Zhang He's heart was not panicked.

The strong crossbow known as the "Zhuge Repeater", although I heard that it has the advantages of continuous fire and great power.

But these two advantages, under the influence of distance, will not do much damage to the current Wei army's catapult after all.

I saw that although the Han army cast several rounds of arrow rain in a row, most of the crossbow arrows cast by the Han army lost their due power and turned into a tributary arrow that fell into the formation of the Wei army.

For the stray arrows, the well-trained Wei army could easily block them by raising the shield in their hands.

This is also normal, the Zhuge Repeater is more powerful than the ordinary bow and crossbow in the world, but no matter how strong the Zhuge Repeater is, it is impossible to achieve the power of a catapult.

It's just that if the arrows of the Han army did not affect the formation of the Wei army, it would be incorrect.

At least under the extraordinary kinetic energy of Zhuge Lian's crossbow, it successfully caused thousands of arrows cast by the Han army to fall into the formation of the Wei army.

At present, the phalanx of the Wei army is full of crossbow arrows that have just been shot by the Han army.

But that's about it.

Besides, the Han army's rounds were not rockets.

After seeing that the Han army's crossbow arrows could not cause damage to the catapult, Cao Zhang quickly put away the look of surprise on his face.

That's just it.

Cao Zhang, who relaxed his mind, was about to turn his head to laugh at Mi Yang's mistake again at Zhang He, but the moment he saw Zhang He, he saw a look that could be called shocked from Zhang He's face.

Seeing Zhang He's eyes staring at the Han army camp, Cao Zhang also hurriedly turned his gaze back to the direction of the Han army camp.

And when Cao Zhang turned his gaze, he knew why Zhang He's face showed such a look.

In Cao Zhang's sight, he felt that the originally dim world seemed to become brighter at this moment.

This is not Cao Zhang's delusion.

Because at this moment, thousands of meteors suddenly appeared in the sky, piercing the sky.

If you look closely, you can see that the thousands of meteors with a little light are actually thousands of burning fire arrows.

Mi Yang's fire attack has arrived!

The flames on the thousands of arrows were not reduced by half a point because of the headwind.

On the contrary, under the blocking of the wind, the flames of the thousands of arrows seemed to become more rapid.

Originally, it was just an arrow that was burning, but later, the whole arrow seemed to be burning.

This has also led to the creation of thousands of meteors in the sky.

If they are shooting stars, then they will always fall.

And the direction in which they are falling is where the formation of thousands of Wei troops is located.

When thousands of fire arrows shot into the Wei army's formation, there was a crisp sound of pieces of ironwood colliding.

This is the sound of thousands of Wei soldiers colliding with thousands of fire arrows when they subconsciously raised their shields in their hands to defend themselves.

Blocked by the shield, the fire arrows cast by the Han army did not directly cause great damage to the Wei army.

One by one, they fell to the ground.

Seeing this, thousands of Wei troops breathed a sigh of relief.

The fire released by the god of fire is not unstoppable.

It's just that when this idea just appeared in the hearts of thousands of Wei troops, a shocking change appeared at the feet of thousands of Wei troops.

Don't forget that under the feet of thousands of Wei troops at the moment, there are many arrows coated with stone grease!

When the fire bolt falls to the ground, the flame on the fire bolt is not extinguished.

The flame, which still had tenacious vitality, suddenly burst into flames after encountering the "oil arrows" that were everywhere.

Countless brilliant flames, like blooming fireworks, rose into the air at the feet of thousands of Wei troops.

It didn't take long for countless fireworks to be linked together at an extremely fast speed, thus forming an incomparably hot wall of fire, enveloping thousands of Wei troops.

An instant later, countless wails rang out in the wilderness.

Before the thousands of Wei troops could react to what was going on, their whole bodies were engulfed in raging flames.

Many Wei soldiers subconsciously lay on the ground, trying to extinguish the flames on their bodies with rolling movements.

It's a pity that they overlooked one thing.

It's May, and May is also known as Midsummer.

After the recovery of the spring, the Northwest Earth officially entered the stage of plant growth in this month.

Therefore, at the foot of thousands of Wei troops, in addition to countless arrows, there are also countless weeds!

Oil is already flammable, and with weeds everywhere as combustibles, once the Wei army falls to the ground with the flames on their bodies, will they be able to get up again?

In the world, the fires caused by oil can almost burn everything.

Not surprisingly, when those Wei soldiers fell to the ground, they were greeted by even more raging flames, and for a while the wailing in the field became a little more intense.

In addition, the Wei army's infantry formation is in the same area as hundreds of catapults.

When the flames quickly spread to the bottom of the trebuchet, the Wei army, which was originally loading the boulders, had already been swallowed by the flames.

Without the operation of the Wei army, the boulders loaded on the trebuchets fell uncontrollably towards the ground.

Today, in order to break through the Han army camp in one fell swoop, the boulders Cao Zhang chose were all big and hard.

But now these boulders did not hit the camp wall of the Han army, but like meteorites falling from the sky, they continued to smash towards the Wei army below.

There are flames running up below, and meteorites smashing their heads above, in this case, thousands of Wei troops can be said to have no heaven and no earth, and no way to enter the ground - they are dead!

Just when thousands of Wei troops were losing their lives in a desperate situation, Cao Zhang and Zhang He didn't react at the first time.

It's too fast, the situation on the battlefield is changing too fast.

At the last moment, Cao Zhang and Zhang He were still confident, thinking about seeing how the Han army camp was ravaged by their catapults.

But in the next moment, thousands of Wei troops were directly in a desperate situation, and the catapult had not even sent out a single boulder.

With such a rapidly changing situation, anyone who sees it will have their brain shut down for a while.

It's just that it was at this moment that Cao Zhang and Zhang He understood why Mi Yang had the title of the god of fire.

There are countless generals in the world who can attack with fire, but if they can play such tricks and play so unguarded, I'm afraid there is only Mi Yang in the world.

It's just that although Cao Zhang and Zhang He are still in shock, Mi Yang will not give up this opportunity.

Before today, Deng Ai and the others thought that he was going to burn the Wei army's catapult.

Only Mi Yang himself knows that his purpose from beginning to end is only Cao Wei's Chinese army!

A moment later, a crimson order flag was raised high on the camp wall, and Liu Feng, who saw this order flag, took a deep breath and ordered someone to open the camp gate in front of him.

When the camp gate was opened, it was as if there were two worlds outside the camp.

Outside the camp, thousands of Wei soldiers cried wolf howls and struggled in the flames of the sky.

Thousands of Han troops in the camp held their breath and strode forward under the command of Liu Feng.

The harvest has officially begun!

Yesterday's second chapter!
