Chapter 491
Yuan Shao raised his eyebrows when he saw soldiers approaching the camp falling down one after another.
There are ambushes around the camp of the Jizhou Army.
However, this is not enough to affect Yuan Shao's idea of attacking the Jizhou military camp. Yuan Shao changed his mind and ordered: "Send the order and kill one enemy and reward one thousand coins after entering the camp; kill two enemies and reward two thousand coins; kill three enemies and reward four enemies and reward eight thousand coins... and so on, there is no cap on the top."
A command to encourage soldiers entirely with money.
Such a command is directly effective.
When the news reached the soldiers' ears, the soldiers' eyes were red and they screamed and charged.
One head, one thousand coins; two heads, two thousand coins; three heads, four thousand coins; four heads, eight thousand coins... What if ten people were killed, ten heads were obtained?
The soldiers didn't read much, but they settled the accounts quickly. After they made it clear, they were even more motivated.
What if there are caltrops?
These caltrops cannot stop the soldiers from making money.
As long as you make a big profit, you can go home and enjoy a happy life.
Countless Yuan soldiers, holding swords, roaring and rushing. They continued to rush forward in the danger of being pierced by caltrops by caltrops. Although the dense caltrops could play a hindrance, they could not stop them and were getting closer and closer to the camp. Many soldiers stepped on the soldiers lying on the ground and ran towards the camp.
The momentum of Yuan's soldiers' attacks increased instead of decreasing, and they were extremely surging.
This scene fell in Yuan Shao's eyes, and Yuan Shao said happily: "Only by rewarding, there will be brave men."
Gao Lan said, "The lord is wise!"
Xu You looked solemn and not optimistic. The battle was just beginning and it was difficult to make the following conclusions.
Zhang He's expression was not surprised or worried. When he saw Yuan's soldiers approaching, less than ten feet from the camp, he waved his hand and ordered: "Boundist, get ready!"
In an instant, all the soldiers squatting on the inside of the sandbag were loaded with crossbow arrows and ready.
"Shoot the arrow!"
With a command, rows of crossbowmen launched an attack.
The dense crossbow arrows shot out of the camp, with whistling sounds, and rushed directly towards the Yuan army soldiers.
"Puff!"
A crossbow arrow hit a soldier. Under the impact of powerful force, it penetrated the soldier's body and continued to move forward. The power of the crossbow arrow is different from the power of the bow and arrow. Within a short range, it is full of impact, and more than one or two soldiers are shot. The dense crossbow arrows are shot out, and the sounds of puffing sounds are connected together.
Wherever you pass, it is like a big wave eroding, and everything is destroyed.
The Yuan army soldiers who were close to the camp were all wiped out by crossbow arrows in the blink of an eye.
A very small number of Yuan soldiers who were not shot, although they dodged, but did not avoid the caltrops under their feet and fell to the ground. Three thousand soldiers charged densely, but faced with the counterattack of crossbows, each wave of attack was resolved. The battlefield was filled with blood and screams echoed, and corpses piled up like hills.
Blood gathers to form a pool of blood.
On the ground, the blood stains that were immersed in the ground dried up, leaving behind a pool of dark red blood stains.
At this time, Yuan Shao was a little anxious.
Three thousand vanguard soldiers approached Wang Lei's camp, but they were all killed without any effect. Yuan Shao was very dissatisfied with this result. However, it was not easy to attack the camp. Yuan Shao looked at Xu You and asked, "Ziyuan, Wang Lei kept the camp as solid as a stolen one. What can I do to break it?"
Xu You frowned, after a while, he shook his head and said, "For a while, I can't think of a solution."
Gao Lan did not admit defeat and took the initiative to say, "Lord, there are two difficulties in attacking the Jizhou military camp. First, the caltrops. These caltrops were sprinkled randomly. Many soldiers rushed up and were stabbed by the caltrops. In this way, the threat of caltrops is very small and can be ignored; second, the crossbows in the Jizhou military camp are the most important key."
Yuan Shao asked directly: "What kind of solution do you have?"
Gao Lan replied: "The soldiers will hold shields and form a formation together, and then approach the camp."
Yuan Shao hesitated for a moment and ordered: "I believe in you, go and arrange it."
Gao Lan said, "Thank you lord!"
Immediately, Gao Lan personally ordered the soldiers to teach them how to resist. Not long after, another group of soldiers appeared in front of the military formation. The number of soldiers was about a thousand. Five people formed a group of five people, and all the soldiers held shields, combined with shields, blocking the shooting crossbow and rushed forward quickly.
The power of crossbow shooting is strong and penetrating, but the method of resisting each group of soldiers is quite clever.
The combination of shields is like a large shield.
Each huge shield is blocking in front of you. When the crossbow hits the shield, it does not collide with the shield head-on, and its power will be removed a lot. Although some soldiers cannot stop it, the shield will be knocked away. However, in this way, many soldiers can block the attack of the crossbow.
Batches of soldiers slowly advanced forward with their shooting crossbow arrows.
This time, the crossbow arrow was blocked.
Seeing this, Lu Kuang clasped his fists and said, "Lord, blocked. General Gao's trick blocked the attack of the crossbow arrows. As long as the soldiers entered the camp, the two armies began to fight, and then we will definitely win."
There is a strong sense of confidence in his tone.
Wen Chou clenched his fists and said, "When I break through the camp, I will be willing to be the pioneer."
Yuan Shao also breathed a sigh of relief.
Wang Lei set up various formations to resist the attack of the army, but Gao Lan's plan was quite exciting. Yuan Shao looked at Gao Lan and said in a deep voice: "Gaolan, since there is such a clever plan, why not take it out and use it at the beginning? If he had attacked like this from the beginning, the previous three thousand soldiers would not have died in vain."
Gao Lan explained: "Lord, I will come up with the idea that came up with a clever idea just now."
Yuan Shao nodded and praised: "Very good, this prefect is looking forward to you winning this battle."
Gao Lan clasped his fists and said, "I will never let down the trust of the lord!"
A hint of pride also appeared in Gao Lan's eyes. With the opportunity to break the enemy, Gao Lan no longer hesitated and ordered the soldiers under his command to let the soldiers hold iron shields and attack continuously. As long as he entered the camp and broke the crossbow formation set up by Zhang He, he could attack on a large scale.
He will definitely win this battle.
Seeing that Yuan army had taken appropriate response measures, Wang Lei nodded slightly. The people who were commanding the army were not bad, and in a short time, he launched a counterattack.
Wang Lei looked at Zhang He and smiled and said, "Junyi, it seems that you have met an opponent."
Zhang He still had a calm expression and said with neither humility nor arrogant words: "My lord, this method is just a trick of the devil. Gao Lan has some ability, but only that little ability, it is impossible to break the camp."
