Chapter 231: Lord Ye and Zhu Yuanzhang are actually raccoon dogs, and they will go home with honor!

In the eyes of all the defenders on the city wall,

Two hundred steps outside the city, the first-line city wall originally composed of steel and flesh and blood has long since become a broad red line.

On the broad red line, there were nearly two thousand corpses lying horizontally and vertically, most of them were the corpses of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, but there were also young men who were still wearing silver armor.

And almost all of the two hundred or so soldiers who died in battle were seriously deformed or even fell off their armor, and then they died of serious injuries.

They were either wounded to their internal organs and skulls with blunt objects, pierced with spears and taken out of their stomachs, or they died of so many knife wounds that they lost blood!

Outside this red line of corpse blood, nearly 2,600 soldiers relined the formation, just because in front of them, there was an enemy with a mace in his hand and his back to them laughing wildly!

And behind them are more than a hundred Yanmen soldiers who are seriously injured and can no longer get up.

They either have a knife wound on the leg that is deep in the bones, or only a little flesh is connected to the arm, or the wound on the abdomen is still oozing blood, or one eye has begun to scab!

But they just gritted their teeth and endured, and hugged the wound that was being destroyed by the wind and sand, and no one screamed.

Even if you endure tears, you don't want the living enemy to hear their fragile side.

People live to fight for their breath!

If you want to be braver than these Northern Barbarians, you must be braver than them!

"Switch,"

"Bring in all the dead and wounded brothers."

Under the city gate, when General Chen gave this order, his voice was not very loud, and it was not as powerful as the attack order.

His voice was a little heavy, but it was enough for those who carried out the order to hear.

A moment later, the door was wide open, and several horse-drawn carts were pulled out, and several empty stretchers were carried out.

At the same time, General Chen, Zhu Yuanzhang and Mao Xiang also went straight to Xiao'er. Ullihan departed.

In front of the military formation two hundred steps outside the city, in the eyes of Zhu Yuanzhang, this Northern Yuan general, who was as strong as an ox, but at this moment he was covered in knife wounds and his blood had soaked through his armor, had already collapsed.

As far as his prostration, he really fell down with a poke of his fingers, but he just didn't fall, and laughed behind their backs.

Faced with such an enemy, Mao Xiang subconsciously wanted to ask for a name, but he still held back.

General Chen spoke: "You, what's your name?" ”

"It's only a pound. Ullihan! ”

Sons are only catty. After Ulihan reported his name, he said proudly, "What's your name?" ”

General Chen said solemnly: "Yang Ming Fort Guard Commander Chen Feng! ”

Sons are only catty. Wu Lihan nodded and said, "General Chen, you are very powerful, but you lost, now it's time for us to bombard you!" ”

As soon as the words fell, he raised his already trembling hand and pointed to a position six hundred steps outside the city.

Everyone followed his direction, only to see their five thousand heavy siege brigades, already lined up six hundred steps outside the city.

Their siege equipment was also very complete, with the most advanced cannon of the former Yuan, that is, the 'Zhankou Copper Gun'.

Not only that, but there was also the 'Huihui Cannon', which once made great achievements for them in attacking Xiangyang City, which was the most advanced trebuchet at that time.

There are even large wooden siege equipment such as siege ladder trucks and log ramming vehicles.

Sons are only catty. After wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, Wu Lihan immediately smiled and said: "Yes, your cannon is very far, we want to come over, but we can only exchange our lives." ”

"But I tell you, the children and grandsons of Genghis Khan, the most important thing is courage!"

"As long as our cannons hit your walls, our siege ladder trucks and rammers will immediately attack the city, and this will also become the clarion call for the army behind to launch a general attack!"

"You've lost!"

As soon as the voice fell, the child was only a pound. Wu Lihan closed his eyes directly, and looked like he was going to kill.

And at this moment,

General Chen just smiled lightly and said, "Our cannon can not only hit more than a thousand steps, but also four hundred steps, can't it hit six hundred steps?" ”

Hearing this, the child is only a catty. Ulhan not only opened his eyes at once, but also looked at the city wall with a sudden realization of his eyes.

He only heard the sound of the adjustment mechanism continuously, and only saw that all the 100 cannons were at the same elevation angle.

At this moment, twenty giant arrows shaped like javelins, with the sound of breaking through the sky, flew straight towards their siege ladder carts and log ramming carts.

The two ends below the arrows of these arrows were all tied with bottles of fire oil, and these bottles were not large, only about 500 milliliters.

Sons are only catty. In Ullihan's eyes, the burning arrow was not only burning the bottle of fire oil, but also burning the shaft of the arrow rapidly under the action of the wind.

In the next moment, he only saw twenty giant rockets, fiercely piercing their large engineering equipment.

At the same time, the hot oil bottle, which had already been hot, burst open directly under the instantaneous vigorous collision.

Burning debris harvested the bodies of the baggage soldiers at will, and the burning oil covered their heavy baggage.

Before their baggage soldiers could react, another twenty giant rockets flew in.

At the same time, a hundred cannons were also bombarding their baggage positions at random!

Countless baggage soldiers were killed by the explosion, and countless baggage soldiers were killed by the blown baggage fragments!

In less than a quarter of an hour, the five baggage squares six hundred paces outside the city were burning with raging fire, their gunpowder was exploding, their baggage equipment became burning firewood, and many baggage soldiers were also burned to death in the same place.

The wind outside the gate blows to the inside of the gate, and there is a choking smell of gunpowder, the smell of burning wood from wood, and the smell of burning leather armor and people!

"Poor Kou Mo Chase!"

"These more than 1,000 escaped Northern Yuan soldiers will definitely spread panic among the army, and they are more useful alive than dead."

The person who said this was not General Chen, but General Guo, who had never played the role of a general in his eyes.

Just now, more than a thousand Beiyuan soldiers who escaped death can be said to be desperately running back.

Zhu Yuanzhang saw that the soldiers behind him were subconsciously about to chase and kill, and when he saw that the artillery on the city wall began to adjust the elevation angle again, he immediately said to General Chen.

Immediately afterwards, Zhu Yuanzhang said with a deep gaze: "If it is only a dozen people, they can kill these soldiers who may bewitch the hearts of the army, but more than a thousand people, he Wang Baobao will never dare to kill them." ”

"If you kill them, you won't be able to command these hundreds of thousands of troops."

"If you want these people to shut up alive, he will have a headache for several days!"

Listening to these remarks, General Chen immediately understood the reason why Ye Qing invited this General Guo to come.

After he gave the order according to Zhu Yuanzhang's suggestion, he nodded and said, "General Guo, General Ben has not figured out the reason why Lord Ye invited you to be a general until now. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang just said with interest: "Let's hear it?" ”

General Chen smiled lightly: "Because you are very similar to Lord Ye, they are both smart people who are good at attacking their hearts with tricks. ”

"Actually, General Ben has only now figured out that the reason why Lord Ye put these baggage troops in, first burned them with rockets, and then shelled them at will, was to give Wang Baobao hope and disappoint him again."

"This is to tell him Wang Baobao that I, Ye Qing, have the ability to destroy your siege baggage a thousand steps away, but I want to let you in, that is, to destroy you in an instant before you are about to launch."

"There is no other reason, it is just the word 'play'!"

Zhu Yuanzhang knew that General Chen was praising him in front of him, but he always felt that this praise was a bit unpleasant to him.

Zhu Yuanzhang just smiled unnaturally and said, "Then let's thank General Chen for his compliment!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Zhu Yuanzhang turned around and continued to look at the raging fire in front of him, and then fell into deep thought.

"Play?"

"Only with the ability can you play people out!"

"This battle is enough to prove that he Ye Qing has this ability!"

"More than 13,000 enemies have been killed, and your own casualties are only 300, so you can already leave a name in history!"

“.”

When Zhu Yuanzhang thought of this, Ye Qing's preparation for this battle and his relevant orders instantly appeared in his mind.

And, of course, all sorts of his disbelief.

And all this unbelievability became a reality at this moment!

Looking at such a first-battle record, although Zhu Yuanzhang didn't want to admit it, he still made a 'step-by-step' evaluation of his preparations.

At the same time, he also made a 'strategizing' evaluation of his command and combat effect!

Thinking of this, he quickly went through Ye Qing's life resume in his mind, he was only in his twenties, he had only been an official for three years, and the fame he had obtained was only a little bit of luck in the 'first place in the countdown'!

The fact that Ye Qing had never led a soldier was so real in front of him, but he still wanted to ask:

"He really didn't lead a soldier?"

The reason why Zhu Yuanzhang secretly asked in his heart when he knew the facts is also reasonable.

Poetry and poetry can be talent, but this leader is a living person who leads the war and commands a living person, and the opponent is also a living person.

Besides, Ye Qing's performance many times is really not talented.

As far as he is the penultimate in the exam, and he can't compose poetry, he can be such a border magistrate, he has to be lucky.

But his performance in many aspects cannot be explained by the word talent.

Whether it is his work in doubling the yield of grain per mu, or his achievements in the construction of commerce and trade in towns and cities, or even his step-by-step preparations for war, as well as his strategic operational command, it can be said that talent and experience are indispensable.

But his Ye Qing's age is equivalent to no experience, not to mention, his fame is equivalent to no talent.

Zhu Yuanzhang just frowned and thought, but he frowned into a heap, and he couldn't figure out these contradictory questions.

Just when he fell into endless contradictions, he suddenly remembered the scene of Ye Qing worshipping Li Mu, Li Guang, Li Shimin, and Li Jing.

"That is the heaviest worship ceremony among the nine worships of the Han family!"

“.”

But before he could think about it, General Chen's voice came from his side again.

"This son is only a pound. Ullihan, when did he die? ”

In Mao Xiang's opinion, this opponent is still a person, in order to give basic respect, he couldn't help but laugh, but replied seriously: "He watched his baggage troops being burned and bombed again, and then listened to your conversation, and he was directly angry." ”

"It seems that he finally gritted his teeth and shouted 'Ye Qing', and then he ran out of breath."

"The whites of his eyes are bloodshot, and his eyes are still staring, I used my hand to help him close his eyes, but he couldn't close them, it was just a ghost who didn't let go of Lord Ye!"

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was interrupted by the two, had no interest in how this Northern Yuan general died.

He looked at the more than 1,000 frightened baggage soldiers who were about to run away, but there was no mockery in his eyes.

In his opinion, this completely affected his evaluation of the Northern Yuan army!

No matter how brave they are, they are people who are afraid of the unknown, and it is good that they can still hold on to advancing while watching their infantry being killed.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang remembered Ye Qing's remarks of 'unlimited expansion, overseas grace, and educating the barbarians of the world'.

"Not bad,"

"Conquering them is only the first step, making them our loyal knives is the ultimate goal."

"However, apart from Ye Qing, who of our talents in the court can do this?"

“.”

After realizing this, Zhu Yuanzhang fell into contemplation again.

"Withdraw your troops!"

With General Chen's order, Zhu Yuanzhang and Mao Xiang also entered the gate with the army.

But at the moment when Zhu Yuanzhang and Mao Xiang entered the closed door, the whole person unconsciously became solemn.

Rao is the two of them, who have experienced a hundred battles and their hearts are like a rock, and they can't help but look at the scene in front of them, and their eyes can't help but moisten slightly.

In front of their eyes, the corpses of more than 200 fallen soldiers were lying quietly on the Yanwu Square.

More than a dozen uncles and aunts who live in the nearby border trade street spontaneously became 'volunteers', and they also wiped their tears while removing their armor.

"Kid, it's easy."

"Take off this heavy armor and go home easily!"

"Uncle wipe your face clean, and go back to see your father and wife and children cleanly!"

“.”

After scrubbing the fallen soldiers as much as they could, they also removed the breastplate at the heart of the armor.

Because that cuirass is their identity information, with their names and units engraved on them.

This is a rule in the army handed down by the elders, in order to let the corpse collector know which unit the dead belonged to.

If it is an expeditionary battle, the corpse will definitely not be able to go home, and what can go home is this cuirass that proves the identity of the soldier, as well as a strand of hair.

It is said that the parents who have received the body and the skin, and the body can't go back to the father's mother, so the 'heroic soul is attached to the hair, and the body is substituted for the body' to go home to worship the father!

Compared to the soldiers of the expedition, they are also considered lucky.

At the very least, they can go home relatively intact!

In this way, the young men who were honorably unarmoured, after wearing this identity cuirass around their necks, were carried onto horse-drawn carts.

Just when Zhu Yuanzhang saw them away, he heard the urgent voice of the medical officer.

"Quick, when the bleeding stops, send it to the field emergency hospital."

"Whoever can catch his breath, after stopping the bleeding, hurry up and send it over there!"

“.”

After coming to the field emergency hospital, Zhu Yuanzhang saw a young medical officer undergoing surgery.

Looking at this young medical officer, whether it was Zhu Yuanzhang or Mao Xiang, his eyes were full of disbelief!.

I ask for the support of the officials, and ask for the support of recommended tickets, monthly passes, and rewards, thank you!
