Chapter 247 This is Lord Ye's confidence, we are going to set ourselves on fire, Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma are shocked!

"Array of Fire in the Air?"

"That's what makes him bored?"

"This is not only his confidence to feel bored, but also his confidence to open the door wide to provoke the other party!"

“.”

Queen Ma thought through the gap between the young men in the brocade clothes in front of her, who were wearing the armor of the pro-soldiers, and looked at Ye Qing at the same time.

In Queen Ma's eyes, Ye Qing faced an enemy with more than ten times his own strength, and he couldn't see a trace of nervousness from head to toe.

Not only that, but there was no expectation in his eyes, as if he had already predicted the outcome of the battle.

Queen Ma knows that there is no such thing as prediction in this world, only prediction based on strength!

And the confidence in Ye Qing's eyes directly gave her a feeling that the real result was completely consistent with the result he predicted!

It is precisely because of this kind of self-confidence, which can be understood as conceit, that Queen Ma has to doubt it.

Because no matter how you calculate it, the advantage is not here with him Ye Qing!

Not to mention that the enemy's strength is more than ten times his own, just because there is not a single cannon in the middle gate of Yanmen Pass, which is difficult to defend and easy to attack, it can be concluded that there is no advantage.

"Could it be that the power of the sea of fire in the air is more powerful than the cannon?"

"Is this possible?"

"Can you create a sea of fire in the air?"

"Besides, the enemy is on the ground, even if you want to attack with fire, you shouldn't create a sea of fire in the air!"

In the face of the many questions in front of her, Rao is a smart and careful Queen Ma, and the more she thinks about it in her head, the more question marks there are.

In her cognition, the reason why Ye Qing was able to win the first battle was because of his proper command, thanks to long-range weapons that were far superior to the other party.

But now in the face of the enemy army that is more than ten times his own and all of them are broken, he is still in the middle gate of Yanmenguan, which is easy to defend and difficult to defend, but he has abandoned the cannon that is far superior to the opponent!

Not only that, but also directly provoked by opening and closing the door.

You must know that this way is tantamount to telling Wang Baobao in front of him, 'I open the door, you can't get in'!

His series of operations are completely because he is already weak in all aspects, and he dislikes himself for not being weak enough!

As soon as she thought of this, Queen Ma became even more curious about this 'Aerial Fire Array' that she had never heard of!

Reason told her that this 'sea of fire in the air', which had nothing to do with artillery, could not stop the offensive of the enemy's army of more than 200,000 troops!

But reason also told her that he, Ye Qing, is a person who never makes loss-making trades, and he is also a person who does not fight uncertain battles!

After getting along for such a long time, he found that Ye Qing was very brainy in everything he did, and he could only get along with His Majesty the Emperor's 'Master Guo', which could be said to be very brainless.

It's as if he, Ye Qing, had never considered that this 'Master Guo' might sue him to His Majesty the Emperor!

Thinking of this, when Queen Ma looked at Ye Qing again, her eyes became more and more complicated.

But just when Queen Ma looked at Ye Qing thinking like this, Ye Qing directly began to close her eyes after glancing at the direction of Yanmen Guanzhongmen.

At the same time, Queen Ma also turned to look in the direction of Yanmen Guanzhongmen, her eyes full of expectation and worry.

Because of Ye Qing's absolute self-confidence, she is looking forward to a result that can be called a miracle!

But it is precisely because of Ye Qing's self-confidence that she can understand that she is worried about the tragedy of the city's destruction and death!

But then she didn't worry anymore, because Zhu Yuanzhang, who was now standing at the middle gate of Yanmen Pass and facing the Northern Yuan army, had already arranged her backhand.

If there are really signs of that, the soldiers and horses of Datong, Taiyuan, Yan'an, and Pingyang will immediately gallop to ensure that the Yanmen Pass is not broken.

But once the soldiers and horses of the four mansions gallop to help, it means that he Ye Qing is not far from death.

Thinking of this, Queen Ma walked outside the door, placed herself in the square where it was still snowing, and looked at the direction of Yanmen Guanzhongmen, her eyes were full of worry.

And at this very moment,

A snow-white eagle flew over the command room, and followed Queen Ma's line of sight and flew towards the middle gate of Yanmen Gate.

In the eyes of the snow sculpture,

In the city wall of Yanmen Guanzhongmen, 300 'counterweight trebuchets' that were much smaller than the 'return cannons' of Meng Yuan's attack on Xiangyang back then, had already been lined up!

Within this nearly kilometer-long city wall, 300 trebuchets lined up in the form of 30 horizontal and 10 longitudinal chessboards, forming a 'trebuchet ground network' with a width of 1,000 meters, a length of 300 meters, and a total area of 300,000 square meters!

And next to each trebuchet, there is also a pavilion-style tent to cover the snow from the fire oil bombs piled up here.

Only the soldiers who were in charge of operating the trebuchets just stood in the wind and snow, letting the wind blow and the snow blow.

"Shield soldiers, line up at the city gate!"

"Spearmen, line up at the gates!"

"Sword and shield soldiers, line up at the city gate!"

The three armies of the three thousand households stood under the city gate, and although they were wearing the armor of the thousand households, they were also armed with shields, spears, and swords.

As early as last night, after returning from the banquet at Ye Qing's house, they had already thought about it, in today's battle, they were the front-line commanders, but they were also the pioneers!

Soon, the 6,000 corresponding troops selected in advance quickly gathered at the city gate!

Their method of selecting people is very simple and rude, that is, there are a few simple principles, those who have old parents in the family do not fight, those who have only children in the family do not fight, those who have a pregnant daughter-in-law do not fight, and those whose children are less than three years old do not fight!

But they found that after excluding these four conditions, they couldn't pick out 6,000 people at all!

There is no way, they only have the corresponding lowering conditions, but even if the conditions are lowered, they can't pick out so many people, until these four conditions are eliminated, so many 6,000 people are singled out!

After excluding these four conditions, the only condition is that the younger ones stay, and the older ones stay!

Even if they are in the army to each other, these Yanmen sons and daughters in silver armor and red clothes have the appearance of 'big brother'!

finally

When the 2,000 shield soldiers, 2,000 spearmen, and 2,000 sword and shield soldiers were completed, the iron-wrapped gate built in the Tang Dynasty began to rise slowly.

On the city wall, four defenders with incredible arms are working together to turn the roulette wheels on both sides above the gate.

As the wheel turns, the chain lifting mechanism inside emits a rather obvious mechanical sound!

Just as the lifting mechanism was locked, the three thousand households ran out of the city with their team to line up!

On the city walls, whether it is the 100 bow and crossbow beds all over the city walls, or the 'ultra-long trebuchet' converted from tower cranes that cling to the city walls, they are all doing the final adjustments.

It can be said that inside and outside the city, they are all acting according to Ye Qing's military orders!

Under the gate tower of the middle gate of Yanmen Pass, Zhu Yuanzhang and Mao Xiang stood next to the commander-in-chief of the defense of the middle gate, that is, General Li, the commander of the left guard of Yanmen Pass, who was named the chief general of the defense of Yanmen Pass!

In the eyes of Zhu Yuanzhang and Mao Xiang, all the general orders that General Li is giving at the moment are implementing Ye Qing's military orders.

It can be said that he just doesn't use his brain at all, and it can also be said that he doesn't doubt whether Ye Qing's military order is correct and reasonable!

But as far as Ye Qing's series of military orders are concerned, in the eyes of Zhu Yuanzhang, the former 'Zhu Dashuai', it is completely nonsense!

"General Li, after letting them out of the city and lining up, we should close the door immediately."

"You must not listen to him Ye Qing, the door is still wide open, and the war is endless, so he will not close the door, do you know what kind of behavior this is?"

"This is a fucking provocation, and it's humiliating the other party!"

"Beiyuan is indeed hateful, but they are definitely not weak, such a provocation and humiliation of the opponent will be of no use except to make them morale high and have an unending determination."

"If our troops and baggage logistics are several times that of the enemy, we can indeed do this."

"Because we can be sure that no matter how desperate the opponent is, he is hitting a stone with an egg!"

"But we don't have artillery now, second, we don't have enough troops, and third, the terrain is not good, if we do this, we're setting ourselves on fire!"

General Li and the 'General Guo' in front of him can be regarded as acquaintances, and he knows that this General Guo has some ability.

It is precisely because of this that he did not speak disrespectfully!

General Li just smiled lightly: "General Ben only reminds you of one thing, no matter what your relationship with Lord Ye is, even if you are his own father, don't call Lord Ye by his name in front of General Ben." ”

"This sentence, General Ben only said it once!"

Speaking of this, General Li also turned around slightly, and specially showed the leopard head and shoulders that symbolized the four-rank military attache to General Guo in front of him.

His meaning is obvious, he is the general of Sipinbian Town appointed by the Ministry of Officials, and his words cannot be refuted!

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at this scene, and he also regretted one thing, he should wear dragon scale gold armor and come out, and show the dragon head shoulder swallow to this General Li.

Of course, being angry because of 'Longyou Shoal Shrimp Play' is just a momentary thought.

And at this moment,

Without waiting for Zhu Yuanzhang to speak again, General Li looked ahead again, his eyes were deep and firm, and he said: "General Guo is right, Lord Ye just wants their morale to be high, and he wants them to fight with us endlessly." ”

"Otherwise, how could they still wait here for General Xu Da to arrive when they had suffered serious battle damage?"

Speaking of which,

General Li looked at the contradictory repulsion formation that had already taken two hundred steps outside the city, consisting of two thousand shield soldiers and two thousand spearmen, and there was a trace of unbearability in his eyes.

At the same time, he said meaningfully: "Not only that, Lord Ye is also going to provoke the fire!" ”

Hearing this, Mao Xiang, who was standing behind Zhu Yuanzhang, also showed a look of horror on his face.

Mao Xiang has been with Zhu Yuanzhang for many years, he is the former Zhu Dashuai's personal soldier, he has not only seen Xu Da commanding battles, but also seeing Chang Yuchun, Li Wenzhong and other famous generals in the world.

He is also a well-informed General Mao, but he has never seen this kind of play.

Especially the sentence 'Lord Ye is still going to provoke fire', which made him feel that the words had deep meaning.

Without any basis, just relying on the intuition of the commander of the Jinyi Guard, he felt that this statement had a deep meaning.

Just when Mao Xiang was thinking like this, Zhu Yuanzhang also followed General Li's gaze and looked at the soldiers who had already completed the formation outside the city.

Two thousand shield soldiers and two thousand spearmen were two hundred steps outside the city, and they had already lined up to resist the horses!

Two thousand sword and shield soldiers were also lined up behind them, and three thousand musketeers were also lined up in three rows of two hundred and fifty steps outside the city!

Looking at the nine thousand Han family sons and daughters in silver armor and red clothes lined up outside the city, Zhu Yuanzhang was even more shocked when he remembered the sentence 'Lord Ye is still going to provoke fire'.

A bad premonition really lingers.

And at this moment,

General Li saw the obvious worry in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, he just patted Zhu Yuanzhang's shoulder and said, "Old Guo, don't worry, it's right to listen to Lord Ye." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't speak, just because he knew that the soldiers here had regarded Ye Qing as a 'god', and no matter what he said, it was useless.

But that doesn't mean he doesn't want to talk.

The sentence 'It's better to be right' was swallowed hard when it came to his mouth.

Thinking of this, he looked at the Great Wall watchtower on the Yanmen again, and he knew that there must be a general arranged by his good son Zhu Biao to watch the battle on the watchtower.

That is the last guarantee of Yanmen Pass!

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang also made up his mind again, once this last guarantee is activated, he Ye Qing will be miserable!

"Pay attention to the essentials of the air fire array!"

"The trebuchet debugging must be accurate, the line on the ground is a net, and it must be a net to hit the sky!"

"Lashing nets for oil bombs, check again!"

"The archer doubles to see if the bow in his hand is a strong bow!"

"The heating of oil bombs is a technical work"

Just when Zhu Yuanzhang was thinking like this, the voice of the corresponding general came from the rear, and it was precisely because of these voices that he shifted his attention from the 'city gate wide open' to the 'sea of fire in the air'.

"Array of Fire in the Air?"

"This is the confidence that he dares to close the door and open the door and provoke his opponents?"

"Is it also that he abandons the cannon and does not use it, and he also has the confidence to resist the enemy and outside the city?"

"Could it be that this can be more powerful than a cannon?"

"What does this sea of fire in the air have to do with General Li's 'setting yourself on fire'?"

“.”

The more Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it, the more question marks in his mind.

At the same time, he scanned the city wall again, and looked at it and felt that it was difficult, and everyone was preparing in an orderly manner.

But before he could figure out these questions, the rough sound of the bull's horn came from the other side.

Zhu Yuanzhang, Mao Xiang and General Li were lying on the women's wall together, looking at the Northern Yuan camp six miles away.

Between them and Beiyuan, there is only a vast white platform!

If it weren't for the 'stone wall maze array' between 500 steps outside the city and 1,000 steps outside the city, there would really be no variegation.

Originally, I could still see the black oppression in the distance, but now I can only see snowflakes flying in the sky.

"They're finally moving!"

"Watch your hands, watch the distance!"

"Convey the news of the enemy's dispatch back to the command room in flag!"

Just as General Li's words fell, a flock of vultures once again flew over the battlefield that was about to be full of corpses!
