Agents of the Three Kingdoms

Yuan Shao frowned when he saw the soldiers approaching the camp twenty feet down one after another.

Around the camp of the Jizhou Army, there was an ambush.

However, this was not enough to affect Yuan Shao's idea of ​​​​attacking the Jizhou army camp.Yuan Shao changed his mind, and ordered: "Pass down the order, after entering the camp, reward one thousand coins for beheading one enemy; two thousand coins for beheading two enemies; four thousand coins for beheading three enemies; Kill four enemies, reward eight thousand coins... and so on, there is no limit."

An order to encourage soldiers entirely with money.

Such an order is direct but effective.

The news reached the ears of the soldiers, and each soldier, with red eyes, yelled and charged.

One head, one thousand coins; two heads, two thousand coins; three heads, four thousand coins; four heads, eight thousand coins... What if you kill ten people and get ten heads?

Soldiers don't read much, but they settle accounts very quickly. After they have calculated clearly, they are even more motivated to fight.

What about barbed wire?

These barbed wire can't stop the soldiers' determination to make money.

As long as you make a lot of money, you can go home and enjoy the happiness.

Numerous soldiers of Yuan Jun rushed to kill with their knives in their hands.They continued to rush forward at the risk of being pierced through the center of their feet by barbed wire.The dense barbed thorns are scattered, although they can act as a hindrance, they cannot stop them, and they are getting closer and closer to the camp.Many soldiers stepped on the soldiers who fell on the ground and ran towards the camp.

The attacking momentum of Yuan Jun's soldiers increased rather than decreased, and it was extremely turbulent.

This scene fell in Yuan Shao's eyes, and Yuan Shao said with great joy: "Under heavy rewards, there are brave men."

Gao Lan said: "My lord is wise!"

Xu You looked dignified and not optimistic. The battle had just begun, so it was difficult to draw conclusions.

Zhang Jaw's expression was calm, without any surprise or worry.When he saw Yuan Jun's soldiers approaching and was less than ten feet away from the camp, he waved his hand and ordered: "Bowmen, get ready!"

In an instant, the soldiers squatting inside the sandbags were all loaded with arrows and ready to go.

"Fire arrows!"

With an order, rows of crossbowmen launched an attack.

The dense crossbow arrows shot out of the camp, and with a whistling sound, they rushed directly towards Yuan Jun's soldiers.

"Pfft!"

A crossbow bolt hit a soldier, and under the impact of powerful force, it penetrated the soldier's body and continued to move forward.The power of crossbow arrows is different from that of bows and arrows. Within a short range, the impact is full, and it kills more than one or two soldiers.The dense crossbow arrows were shot out, and the sound of puffing and puffing became one piece.

Wherever it passed, it was like a big wave washing away, and everything was destroyed.

Yuan Jun's soldiers approaching the camp were all wiped out by a crossbow arrow in the blink of an eye.

The very few soldiers of Yuan Jun who were not shot did not avoid the caltrops under their feet, although they dodged, and fell to the ground injured.Three thousand soldiers charged densely, but faced with the counterattack of crossbow arrows, every wave of attack was resolved.The battlefield was filled with blood, screams echoed, and corpses piled up like hills.

The blood gathered to form pools of blood.

On the ground, the blood soaked into the ground dried up, leaving puddles of dark red blood.

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 is not easy to attack the camp.Yuan Shao looked at Xu You and asked, "Ziyuan, Wang Lei has guarded the camp like a fortress, how can we break it?"

Xu You frowned, and after a while, shook his head and said, "For a while, I can't think of a way to crack it."

Gao Lan did not admit defeat, and took the initiative to say: "My lord, there are two difficulties in attacking the Jizhou army camp. One is the barbed thorns. These barbed thorns were scattered randomly. Many soldiers rushed up and were injured by the barbed thorns. So Firstly, the threat of barbed wire is very small and can be ignored; secondly, the crossbows in the Jizhou military camp are the most important key."

Yuan Shao asked directly: "What solution do you have?"

Gao Lan replied: "At the end of the day, let the soldiers hold shields, join together to form a formation, and then approach the camp."

Yuan Shao hesitated for a moment, and then ordered: "The prefect trusts you, let's make arrangements."

Gao Lan said, "Thank you, my 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 army formation.This group of soldiers numbered about a thousand.Five people formed a group, and all the soldiers held shields, and the shields were combined together to block the incoming bows and crossbows, and rushed forward quickly.

The shooting power of the bow and crossbow is strong and the penetrating power is strong, but the way each group of soldiers resists is quite ingenious.

The shields are combined together, like a big shield.

Each huge shield is obliquely in front of the body. When the crossbow hits the shield, it does not collide with the shield head-on, and the power will be removed a lot. Although there are soldiers who can't stop it, so that the shield is knocked away.However, in this way, many soldiers were able to block the crossbow attack.

Batch after batch of soldiers, braving the shooting crossbow arrows, slowly pushed forward.

This time, the crossbow was blocked.

Seeing this, Lu Kuang clasped his fists and said, "My lord, block it. General Gao's ingenious plan blocked the attack of the crossbow arrows. As long as the soldiers enter the camp and the two armies start fighting, we will surely win."

There was a lot of confidence in his tone.

Wen Chou clenched his fists and said, "When the camp is broken, the general will be willing to be the vanguard."

In Yuan Shao's heart, he also breathed a sigh of relief.

Wang Lei deployed various formations to resist the attack of the army, but Gao Lan's strategy was quite brilliant.Yuan Shao looked at Gao Lan, and said in a deep voice: "Gao Lan, since there is such a clever plan, why didn't you use it from the beginning? If you attacked like this from the beginning, the three thousand soldiers before would not have died in vain."

Gao Lan explained: "My lord, the end will be an idea that I came up with just now."

Yuan Shao nodded and praised: "Very good, this battle, the prefect looks forward to your victory."

Gao Lan cupped his fists and said, "I will live up to my lord's trust!"

In Gao Lan's eyes, there was also a hint of complacency.With the opportunity to defeat the enemy, Gao Lan no longer hesitated, and ordered the soldiers under his command to let each soldier hold an iron shield and attack continuously.As long as he entered the camp and broke the crossbow formation under Zhang Jaw, he could attack in a large area.

He is bound to win this battle.

Seeing that Yuan Jun had adopted an appropriate countermeasure, Wang Lei nodded slightly.Those who commanded the army were not bad, and in a short period of time, they launched a counterattack.

Wang Lei looked at Zhang Jaw, smiled and said, "Jun Yi, it seems that you have met your opponent."

Zhang Jaw still had a calm expression, and said neither humble nor overbearing: "My lord, this trick is just a small skill. Gao Lan has some skills, but he only has that little ability. It is absolutely impossible to break through the camp."
