Chapter 253: Zhu Yuanzhang was also so scared that his hands trembled, Lord Ye's appeal surpassed that of the emperor, and the sea of fire array in the air was launched!

"Two stunned,"

"Don't tremble on your fucking hind feet, everyone is in unison, if you tremble on your hind feet, even your brothers around you will be finished!"

"Hold the shield with your upper hand and face with your palm, bend the handle with your lower hand, support the shield with your arms and shoulders, lunge with your lower body, hold the shield with your front foot, and stretch your back foot out!"

"Only in this way can you kid have a chance to live!"

“.”

Zhu Yuanzhang stood above the city wall, looking at the contradictory rejection array in front of him, a hundred households with two beards were shouting loudly to a young soldier next to him whose hind feet were trembling.

Two hundred steps is not far or close, that is, you can just see the appearance and general facial expression.

Zhu Yuanzhang, as a soldier who helped Tang and lead horses, an absolute veteran who climbed all the way to the emperor's throne, even if he couldn't hear what hundreds of households were shouting, he could guess a rough idea.

It was evident that the soldier, who was only seventeen or eighteen years old, was frightened when the enemy was present.

As a warrior, it's shameful to retreat!

But Zhu Yuanzhang thinks that being scared is not only shameless, but also a very normal reaction, and even a psychological process that a recruit basically has.

If someone asks him if he was scared at the beginning, now that he is wearing a dragon robe and sitting on the dragon chair, he will definitely say that he has never been afraid, and as soon as he enters the battlefield, he is like a god of war descending to earth.

Even if it doesn't blow so badly, it will blow in this direction!

Not for anything else, for a face that conforms to the nine words of 'Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty'!

He can blow it to civil and military officials, to the people of the world, and even to future generations of children and grandchildren, but he himself knows that this is just a lie that has to be told.

At the beginning, he held a rusty and large blade full of gaps, and when facing the strong Yuan army, he also held the knife in both hands and trembled.

But he finally overcame his fear, and used the rusty knife that didn't know how many of his former owners had died, and slashed ferociously to the end!

Recalling this, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the young shield soldier who was trembling on his hind feet and even all over his body, and his eyes were not only not half reprimanded, but also full of encouragement.

In fact, in this contradictory rejection array, where is there only one soldier who trembles with fear!

It can be said that all the recruits who go to the battlefield for the first time are more or less afraid, and their whole bodies tremble seriously, and their hands and feet tremble not seriously!

Looking at this scene, Zhu Yuanzhang knew that he, His Majesty the Emperor, who was a monarch's father, couldn't help them at the moment, and only himself could help them!

"Kids, take courage."

It was also when Zhu Yuanzhang was so secretly motivated,

In the midst of the contradictions, the 'mantra' of the shield soldier suddenly sounded!

"Hold the shield head and face with the upper hand in the palm, bend the grip with the lower hand, support the shield with the arms and shoulders, lunge with the lower body, hold the shield with the front foot, and straighten the back foot!"

It was such a mantra for the essentials of action, which was recited by two thousand shield soldiers.

And those young shield soldiers who faced the cavalry directly and watched the opposing cavalry getting closer and closer, their eyes jumped slightly, and they read out at the same time.

It's just a distance of thirty steps, but it's a long mental journey for them!

You must know that cavalry is a 'tank' for the infantry of this era, and it can also be said that it is a flood beast, not to mention the shield soldiers who have to resist the cavalry charge.

They had a lot on their minds from the initial fear, to the courage they mustered before the final collision.

I thought of my comrades-in-arms and brothers around me, thought of the city wall behind me, thought of the prosperity behind the city wall, thought of my hometown fathers, thought of my wife and children at home, and even thought of Lord Ye of the county who made them live as flesh and blood!

But they didn't think of themselves!

Because when you think of yourself, you will be afraid, and when you think of them, you will feel that the cavalry that charges is not so terrible!

There was a continuous muffled sound, followed by the screams of people and the neighing of horses!

And, of course, the sound of people and horses breaking bones and even stabbing flesh!

I only saw a line of two hundred steps outside the city, and at the same time that people were on their backs, there were many shield soldiers who were knocked upside down and flew back!

Immediately afterwards, it was spear assassination, sword and shield soldiers besieged and killed, and in less than a cup of tea, the last five hundred Northern Yuan cavalry also died outside the middle gate of Yanmen Pass.

The nearest corpse of the Northern Yuan cavalry was also a hundred and fifty paces away from the open city gate.

The shield men and spearmen who were knocked upside down and fell to the ground added up to three hundred, most of whom were young soldiers who had trembled with fear.

At the age of seventeen or eighteen, in the eyes of Ye Qing, a time-traveler from modern times, he is just a big boy, but in this era, he is already a man who shoulders the heavy responsibility of his family and country.

Although they were trembling with fear before, they blocked the last Beiyuan cavalry in this round of offensive from the city wall.

Rao is serious injuries fell to the ground, Rao was seriously injured internally, Rao is hands and feet bones were broken, they just blushed, gritted their teeth, and did not cry and roar.

They know that they have not yet withdrawn from the battlefield, and they are still warriors who shed blood and tears!

"Get them back and let the soldiers in the city fill the gap!"

Above the city walls,

General Li was not too moved, but issued such a military order relatively heavily.

Soon, a group of soldiers armed with square iron shields and spears quickly went out of the city to fill the gap, and at the same time, the people in charge of logistics quickly carried 300 wounded soldiers into the city.

As soon as they entered the city, they began to wail in pain, and the medical officers on the scene began to get busy.

The sole purpose of the medical officer at the scene was to save his life and stop the bleeding.

Soldiers who can't save their lives are taken care of, and those who can save their lives will also be sent to the field emergency hospital located at the intersection of Bianmao Street.

After the injury is stabilized, it will be sent to the major medical centers in the city!

Zhu Yuanzhang, Mao Xiang and General Li came to the edge of the women's wall facing the city and watched this busy and orderly scene.

At the same time, Zhu Yuanzhang and Mao Xiang also listened to General Li's rough explanation of their logistics support plan for injuries and illnesses.

"Save your life on the battlefield, stabilize your illness in the rear, and recuperate in the rear, you can see that Lord Ye is dedicated."

"But the folk medical halls in the whole city have become wartime logistics medical halls, if they are all voluntary, Lord Ye is amazing!"

General Li also nodded and said, "Not only are they willing, but they are also willing to pay for the wounded soldiers, but Lord Ye insists on paying for the medical expenses." ”

"In the end, both sides took a step back, and the folk medical center fully cooperated with the treatment, and only charged the cost of medicine!"

Hearing this, Mao Xiang's admiration for Ye Qing also rose to a notch again.

He didn't have the word 'two-way running' in his mind, but it had a similar meaning, the common people were willing to do their best, and this big corrupt official who made one party rich also adhered to the principle of not being greedy for goodness.

Thinking of this, Mao Xiang also understood a truth, whether it is a husband and wife or the government and the people, it must be such a two-way rush in order to be harmonious and long-lasting.

The reason is very simple, if there is an opening to ask for the people, it will always be taken for granted.

The people will give everything because of the enthusiasm in their hearts, but if they continue to give like this, it will evolve into exploitation on the surface.

Once the habit of exploitation is formed, it is not far from the fall of the dynasty!

But the truth is so, but how many dynasties in history can do it?

When the dynasty was established, they all knew the principle of taking the people as the sky, and they all knew that light taxes and thin servitude were carried out, but in the future, they would become masters of plundering the people!

And behind the two of them, after Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he also looked at the county government at the same time, and his eyes became complicated.

As far as Ye Qing's principled style of acting is concerned, he Zhu Yuanzhang also appreciates it very much!

But his Ye Qing's powerful influence and appeal made him feel a chill down his spine!

Because of this, his desire to get Ye Qing to the court as soon as possible was even more determined, but Ye Qing's sin in his heart of 'the husband is not guilty, and he is guilty of it' is also a little heavier!

"General,"

"Their infantry is charging!"

Just when Zhu Yuanzhang fell into contemplation again, the observer hand on the corridor on the third floor of the city gate tower said loudly to General Li.

After Zhu Yuanzhang came back to his senses, he immediately followed General Li to the edge of the female wall facing the outside of the city.

In their eyes, the Northern Yuan infantry, who had been a little hesitant before, actually pulled out their scimitars, roared and rushed into the stone wall maze array.

Zhu Yuanzhang must not know what 'zombie siege' is, if he knows these four words, he will definitely think of these four words at this moment.

In General Li's eyes, the ultra-distant trebuchet had stopped bombarding, because the first row of infantry of the Northern Yuan had already rushed into the stone wall maze array.

Looking at the so many 'pillars of black smoke in the distance', looking at the corpses of the Northern Yuan infantry in one place, and the wounded soldiers lying there wailing, General Li estimated that the Northern Yuan infantry had suffered nearly 10,000 casualties under the bombardment of ultra-long trebuchets and 10,000 enemies.

The Northern Yuan infantry who were about to storm into the stone wall labyrinth array was almost 20,000 people!

Looking at this depressing scene, General Li smiled lightly at the corner of his mouth: "It has to be Lord Ye who is thoughtful!" ”

"If you use the 'Aerial Fire Sea Array' in advance, those Northern Yuan cavalry can't get out of the Stone Wall Labyrinth Array, and they will all die inside."

"In this way, the Northern Yuan infantry, who have seen the power of the Sea of Fire Array in the air, will not dare to step forward at all."

"And under the layers of consumption of bow and crossbow beds and firearms and arrow rain, there will always be some fish that can slip through the net in the Northern Yuan cavalry to impact my contradictory horse rejection formation."

"This can be regarded as giving hope to the Northern Yuan infantry!"

"There is a hope that there are too many of them to kill, and there is always someone who can rush in!"

"They will think that as long as someone rushes to the city, we will not care about the long attack, and their siege baggage can come up and fight."

"At that time, as soon as their cannons go off, the rest of the army will be pressed down."

"It's just that the 20,000 Northern Yuan infantry can't get out of the stone wall maze array!"

"Three hundred casualties of our army, in exchange for his 10,000 cavalry and his 30,000 infantry, it will be a good deal!"

When Zhu Yuanzhang and Mao Xiang heard this, they also instantly understood Ye Qing's intention of refusing to use the Aerial Fire Array in advance, but they had never seen what the Aerial Fire Array was, and it was still somewhat empty.

But at this moment, they heard the order of the observer again.

"Aerial Fire Array, prepare!"

As the flag waved, the archers holding strong bows on both sides immediately drew their bows and arrows, but the arrows in their hands were no longer ordinary arrows, but arrows with arrows wrapped around the cloth.

When Zhu Yuanzhang saw this scene, he smelled the strong smell of fire oil again!

Zhu Yuanzhang just looked at the arrows wrapped around the fabric, smelled the smell of fire oil wafting in the wind, and immediately understood that they were about to launch a rain of rockets.

No matter how dense the rocket rain is, it can't be fully covered, and there is no talk of the word 'sea of fire' at all.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang and Mao Xiang immediately looked in the direction of the city, because they thought of the three hundred small trebuchets arrayed in the city's 'ground net'.

"The 20,000 infantry of the Northern Yuan Dynasty have all entered the stone wall maze array, and the first row of infantry is six hundred and thirty steps away from our wall."

"Sea of Fire in the Air, launch!"

Just when Zhu Yuanzhang and Mao Xiang realized that the completion of the aerial fire array required the cooperation of trebuchets and rockets, the observer gave the order to launch!.

I ask the officials to follow up on the support, and ask for the support of recommended tickets and monthly passes, thank you!
