Chapter 256: Under Lord Ye's rule, the army and the people are concentric, Zhu Yuanzhang is ashamed of himself, and the cannon is bombarded!
Chapter 256 Under Lord Ye's rule, the army and the people are concentric, Zhu Yuanzhang is ashamed of himself, and the cannon is bombarded!
In the eyes of everyone in the command room,
When Ye Qing said this, he not only knocked his rice bowl with chopsticks, but also looked gloating.
Not only that, but he also laughed a little badly, which meant that the conspiracy succeeded.
As far as Ye Qing's tone and expression when he said this, in Wang Baobao's opinion, he must have been beaten!
But in the eyes of Queen Ma, it made them laugh all at once.
Because they know that Wang Baobao must not eat badly, but he must also eat uncomfortably, this feeling of schadenfreude, this feeling of basing his happiness on the pain of others, is simply not too pleasant.
Soon, everyone was eating heavily.
Queen Ma looked at Ye Qing opposite, and the more she looked at it, the more pleasing it became.
Because she could see that Ye Qing was changing everyone's mood in this way, how could such an unruly person with an uninhibited appearance but a delicate mind not be pleasing to the eye?
Because of this, she began to eat again while pondering Bao Yeqing's plan!
In fact, Queen Ma only analyzed half of it correctly, and the reason why he said such a sentence was not only to enliven the atmosphere, but also for an important reason.
He is a person who has lived for hundreds of years, and there is really only one hobby left to play with people, and he likes to base his happiness on the pain of others.
Besides, although there were 300 casualties, this result was enough to deepen his guilt in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart of 'the husband is not guilty, and he is guilty'.
As long as he remembered the shocked appearance of Master Guo on the city wall, and then thought about the fact that after Master Guo went back to tell Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the direction of Yanmen Pass, and his eyes were full of murderous intent, he felt quite a sense of accomplishment.
With this sense of achievement, it is also worth him to eat one more piece of meat to celebrate!
As Ye Qing expected, Wang Baobao also ate in the tent of the Chinese army commander six miles away from the middle gate of Yanmen Pass.
As the saying goes, people are iron and rice, and they must eat when they win a battle, and they must eat when they lose a battle.
In the handsome tent,
Wang Baobao and Naier didn't spend money, and were eating lamb legs around the heating stove, but they ate like chewing wax, as if they had completed a task.
"Report!"
"Eight hundred gates of copper guns and ammunition, all of which have been transported out of the camp, are now advancing forward!"
Wang Baobao and Nai'er didn't take the time to put down the half-eaten lamb chops, and quickly left the camp and ran to the high ground that could barely be regarded as hills.
The goose feather snow is still falling, and the cold wind is still blowing outside!
Whether it was their cloaks or the fur that showed the edges of their armor, they were all flying in the wind.
The howling cold wind slapped on his face, it was like an ice blade cutting!
And in their eyes, the strongest soldiers selected by the whole army are all shirtless, pushing and pulling!
They also had no choice, although their gate copper gun also had a wheeled car base that could be pushed and walked, but under the wheels was not the black avenue of Yanmen County, but the grass that had begun to show signs of icing.
The wind is blowing, the wheels are slipping, and if they are still wearing armor, their physical strength will not be able to withstand it at all!
"What do they eat at noon?"
Naier didn't think about it, and replied directly loudly: "The soldiers eat, halved according to the order!" ”
When Wang Baobao heard this, his eyes widened directly, he really wanted to kick this brainless guy down, he really wouldn't be flexible!
Can they also eat in half as ordered?
But then again, the order was given by him, Wang Baobao, and Nai'er didn't spend absolutely on it, and there was no problem at all.
All Wang Baobao can do now is to hope that these warriors of the grassland will send their cannons over as soon as possible to a location where they can bombard the stone wall maze array.
On the corridor on the third floor of the gate tower of Yanmen Guanzhongmen, one of the observers immediately went to the command hall on the first floor.
"General,"
"As Lord Ye expected, Wang Baobao really mobilized all their cannons to advance towards me, but their advance speed was very slow."
General Lee asked the observer to return to his post, and then said to the herald: "Go and see if the ultra-long trebuchets on both sides have been converted into tower cranes." ”
"Don't urge hard, just ask about the process, doing things on the shelf on this snowy day is enough to kill people!"
"Yes, General!"
After the herald left, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes became deeper again.
He could be said to have been shocked by the results brought by Ye Qing's Aerial Fire Sea Array before the meal, and after the meal, he once again appreciated Ye Qing's command as if he had predicted it in advance.
Not bad
He could also think that Wang Baobao would do this, after all, the stone wall maze array was too much of an obstacle to the Northern Yuan army.
If it weren't for the stone wall maze array composed of these three large stone walls and twenty-five small stone walls, their infantry and cavalry would not have suffered such great casualties.
But it always takes time to analyze things!
But he Ye Qing is good, it is really the battle report that came back, and the order was transmitted immediately, without thinking for a moment!
But he also knows that there is no such thing as foreknowledge in advance, only a solid foundation and rich experience can have such ability!
But where did he get Ye Qing's solid foundation, and where did he get his rich experience?
If this is true on paper, it is only explained by the word 'talent'.
Thinking of Ye Qing saying that he was a clumsy person in front of him for a long time, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but write down another 'crime of bullying the king' for him!
Just when Zhu Yuanzhang was secretly annoyed, Mao Xiang asked General Li: "Although they are very slow, after all, they are not far away, can the cannons and ammunition of the east and west two be transferred before them?" ”
General Li just looked at him firmly and said, "It must be possible!" ”
"Not to mention that we have built military roads between the three gates and the major warehouses, just by virtue of the unity of our military and civilians in Yanmen County, we will definitely be able to."
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard such a sentence, he instantly remembered the scene when he was arrested as a spy of the Northern Yuan Dynasty and reformed to build roads.
He remembered that he had built a section of military road close to the barracks, and he wanted to sneak in and see.
Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but feel ashamed of his original scolding of Ye Qingda's behavior of collecting tolls.
Oh, yes!
If you don't charge tolls, where will you come to the Kangzhuang Avenue outside the city, and where will you come to these military roads that are convenient for military deployment!
Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang and Mao Zhu walked to the city wall, he first looked at the military road leading to the east and west gates in the city, and then looked at the Great Wall watchtower on Yanmen Mountain.
He can't see the soldiers and civilians who are transporting supplies now, how much the army and the people are united, but the person who is responsible for watching the battle and then reporting to Zhu Biao will definitely be able to see this scene.
As he expected, the two generals from Datong Mansion were standing on the top of the mountain, looking at the scene that Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to see but couldn't see.
On the military road leading from the east gate of Yanmen Pass to the middle gate, hundreds of soldiers and thousands of people are working together.
The packer pulled the gun cart forward, two people pushing the wheels behind, two people to keep the right and left to ensure direction, and help brake.
And the horse-drawn cart full of ammunition boxes is also full of people on the left and right, front and rear!
When encountering uphill sections, people and horses are trying to make one place, and when encountering flat roads and turns, they also perform their duties!
They don't see the scene of soldiers making less effort and then oppressing the people, but only cooperation and mutual help.
The two generals from Datong Mansion are both soldiers, and even they have done things that oppress the people.
They never expected that this place would really turn the slogan of the unity of the military and the people into a reality visible to the naked eye.
Looking at this scene in front of them, there was shock and shame in their eyes!
But when they looked in the direction of the county, there was only admiration in their eyes!
At this moment, they immediately decided to focus on the scene of 'under Ye Qing's rule, the army and the people are united'!
They believe that no matter how Hu Weiyong will feel after seeing it, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will definitely recognize this Lord Ye after seeing it!
This is also the only thing they can do for this Lord Ye!
Halfway through the hour (2pm)
A hundred new Hongwu cannons were transported from the east and west, and they were lined up on the kilometer-long city wall that connected the two natural mountains.
Immediately afterwards, all of Wang Baobao's firearms, that is, the copper guns at the gate of the eight hundred gates, were also recommended to the position of more than 200 steps outside the stone wall maze array.
The maximum range of the gate copper gun is two hundred steps (three hundred meters), and seeing that there are still dozens of steps left, they can start bombarding, but these strong big men of the Northern Yuan are already exhausted.
On such a snowy day, they all went into battle shirtless, the key is that they haven't eaten enough, if it weren't for the fat of this body, they would have to lie down halfway.
"Get up, go on!"
"In order to avenge the death of their people in the sea of fire, so that they can enter the city at night, get me up!"
“.”
Finally, they continued to advance with difficulty, but these dozens of steps were as difficult as the blue sky!
And at this moment,
On the city walls, not only the cannons were already in place, but even the ammunition boxes had been placed in the prescribed positions.
General Li even went to the school gun in person and said: "The outermost part of the stone wall maze array is a large stone wall, which is a thousand steps away from us, and the maximum firing range of their gate copper gun is two hundred steps. ”
"One thousand two hundred steps, our cannons can hit, and so can our bow and crossbow beds!"
"Pass my general order to let the crossbowmen equipped with an arrow slot tie two small canisters of fire oil to the arrows of the giant arrows, and fight with the cannons."
At the same time as General Li gave the order, there was a gate on the opposite side and a copper gun was fired.
Zhu Yuanzhang said calmly: "They don't have a special observer, they only estimate a general distance, and then use a cannon to test fire." ”
"Only after this cannon hits the target, the other guns will advance to the same line and fire a salvo!"
General Li nodded and said, "Yes, the imperial army also fights in this way. ”
As soon as the words fell, General Li continued to calibrate the artillery.
It's just that he didn't know that his casual answer made His Majesty the Emperor beside him a blow.
But Zhu Yuanzhang didn't grit his teeth either, after all, General Li was not Ye Qing, and he didn't have the ability to anger him easily.
Although Zhu Yuanzhang felt that his face in the snow was like being slapped by someone, it was a little hot and painful, but he also knew that this was the big truth he had to admit.
Thinking of this, his eyes looking at the new Hongwu cannon also had a subtle look of greed.
"Fire!"
It was at this moment that the observer gave the order to open fire!.
I wish my officials a happy Mid-Autumn Festival, and I ask for the support of the officials, and the support of recommended tickets and monthly passes!
