Chapter 492

Wang Lei said: "Junyi is full of confidence and very good. I look forward to Junyi's counterattack."

Lu Bu, Huang Zhong, Dian Wei, Jia Xu, Guo Jia and other civil and military people looked at Zhang He and were also quite surprised. Among the generals under Wang Lei, Zhang He was a very inconspicuous existence. When Han Fu was the governor of Jizhou, Zhang He was just an ordinary military Sima and was not valued.

During Wang Lei's administration, Zhang He was stationed in Pingen County and rarely appeared in the public's sight.

Therefore, few people know Zhang He's ability.

This time, Yuan Shao led his army to attack, and Zhang He was in the limelight.

Zhang He looked calm and ordered: "Come on, prepare for a catapult!"

The order was issued, and the soldiers quickly prepared and pushed out the catapults from the battalion. Compared with the catapults of Yuan's soldiers, Zhang He needed more soldiers, had a longer shooting distance and greater power. Moreover, there were twenty taels of catapults in Zhang He's battalion, lined up in a row, stationed inside the defense line built by sandbags.

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

Can a catapult just resist Yuan’s attack?

In the gaze of doubt, the soldiers took out the prepared projectile. The soldiers who stood beside the catapult were taken out. What they took out was not stones, but clay pots.

Wang Lei's thoughts moved, his mouth raised, and a strong smile appeared on his face.

He already understood Zhang He's thoughts.

"Prepare!"

Zhang He roared, and the long sword on his waist was unsheathed with a clang.

The long sword slashed down, and Zhang He roared: "Let it go!"

In an instant, the soldiers responsible for pulling the ropes next to each catapult car began to exert force. The rope tightened, and the clay pots carried by the long end of the catapult car gradually dropped to the lowest point. Then, the rope suddenly loosened, the lever rebounded, and it threw up suddenly. The clay pots roared out of the camp and flew across the sky.

Crockpots flew through the air, as if a meteorite was descending, with a terrifying momentum.

"Clang!"

The clay pot hit the shield, and the huge force hit it, and in an instant, the clay pot shattered.

The tincture oil in the clay pot flowed out.

At the same time, there are hay cut into small pieces in the clay pot, and all the hay is soaked with tinder oil. The hay flows out with the tinder oil and flows down along the shield.

"Bang! Bang!!!"

Outside the camp, there were continuous sounds of clay pots breaking.

In a moment, nearly a hundred crock pots filled with tincture oil were shot out and broken on the ground.

Ten feet away from the camp, tinder oil is everywhere.

Yuan Shao saw the scene of shooting the clay pot, laughed and said disdainfully: "Wang Lei is really whimsical. He doesn't use stones to attack, but instead uses clay pots. Does he think that after the clay pot is broken, the slag can resist the soldiers' advance? It's really a delusion. Wang Lei will definitely lose this battle."

"Wang Lei's purpose cannot be that simple, there must be something strange inside."

Xu You frowned and had a serious expression.

Gao Rou had a serious look and said slowly: "Lord, the clay pot that Wang Lei put out is not only for attack, but also for fire attack. The clay pot must be filled with tincture oil."

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

"Is it fire attack?" Yuan Shao shook his head slightly and said negatively: "Impossible."

As the commander of the army, Gao Lan has been through the battlefield for a long time. When he saw this scene on the battlefield, he felt inexplicably heartbroken. He pursed his lips and clenched his fists, feeling heavy pressure.

"Swish!Swish!!"

Suddenly, rockets suddenly rose in the Jizhou military camp.

"Here you come!"

Gao Rou sighed coldly with a cold face.

In the air, rockets took off. Under the sunlight, the rocket's flames seemed very light, and there was almost no fire on the arrows, but the thick smoke from the rockets was clearly visible.

"boom!!"

The rocket landed and ignited the tinder immediately.

The land ten feet away from the Jizhou military camp was soaked with tinder oil. Even many soldiers who fell to the ground also had tinder oil. As soon as the rocket landed, fires quickly burned.

The soldiers advancing with their shields were immediately blocked.

The surging fire, in a short time, formed a sea of ​​fire.

The burning heat that stings the skin makes you feel uncomfortable.

The raging fire harvested life. The soldiers were ignited by the fire. In the irrepressible pain, they threw away the shields in their hands, gave up the charge, and struggled continuously. However, there were sparsely placed caltrops on the ground, and dense crossbow arrows came in the air. The Yuan army soldiers stranded outside the camp were in desperate situation.

In a moment, Yuan Jun soldiers were in chaos.

Countless soldiers began to retreat.

When Yuan Shao saw this scene, all the joy of the past disappeared, and all that was left was endless anger. Yuan Shao looked at Gao Lan, his expression was gloomy, and he said in a deep voice: "General Gao, Wang Lei broke your plan again, what else can he do?"

Gao Lan pursed his lips tightly, and there was a strong sense of helplessness in his eyes.

Is this defeated in this battle?

He is unwilling to accept it!

However, what if you are unwilling to do so?

Gao Lan stared at the sea of ​​fire outside the camp, and looked at the soldiers struggling to be killed, feeling heartbroken. Gao Lan watched helplessly, but couldn't think of a solution.

Wen Chou's eyes turned and suddenly said, "Lord, the fire spreads. If it approaches the Jizhou military camp, the camp will definitely burn. At that time, Wang Lei will definitely be defeated. They did not consider this."

A glimmer of hope suddenly rose in Yuan Shao's heart and said, "You are right, wait a little longer, wait a little longer."

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

Yuan Shao's army temporarily stopped charging, while the fire outside the camp became more and more fierce, and the heat waves were everywhere, or it might indeed spread towards the camp.

Zhang He looked calm and watched the fire approach the camp, but did not move.

An anxious look appeared in Lu Bu's eyes and said, "General Zhang, the fire has spread towards the camp. Hurry up and put out the fire with sand and stones."

Zhang He said calmly: "General Lu, I have asked the soldiers to clear out a long line three feet wide and around the entire camp. This place is covered with mud and sand. If the fire is close to the camp, it will not be possible to spread again. At most, there is only a little heat in the camp, and the impact is not great."

Lu Bu looked surprised and looked admirable, and he clasped his fists and said, "General Zhang's ability is convinced." It made Lu Bu convince, and Zhang He couldn't help but smile on his face.

Wang Lei was no longer worried when he saw this. He led Guo Jia, Jia Xu and others to return to the tent and handed over all the defense to Zhang He.

Wang Lei could relax, but Yuan Shao could not. Yuan Shao saw the fire approaching the camp and stopped moving forward, and immediately understood.

This battle is difficult to win!

"Retreat!"

Yuan Shao was angry and stopped entangled and ordered a retreat.
