And Ye Mingsheng's reinforcements will take at least three days to arrive!
Once the camp is washed away, and Ye Mingsheng's troops, which have lost the protection of fortifications, encounter the Khitan cavalry on the plains, it will be a massacre, and the annihilation of the entire army will be inevitable!
This is also the reason why He Jingyun is so worried...
If it was a month ago, if Ye Mingsheng encountered this situation, he would most likely abandon his car to save his commander as He Jingyun said.
Although the losses would be heavier, it would leave green hills without worrying about firewood. As long as he, Ye Mingsheng, is still alive, he can slowly settle accounts with the Khitans...
But one month is enough to change a lot, such as letting Ye Mingsheng have a trump card that no one knows!
The existence of this trump card may not change the direction of the entire battle, but Ye Mingsheng believes that there is no problem if this trump card helps him defend for one to two days.
When Yuan Song and Lin Huaiwu arrive with a total of 4,000 reinforcements, it will be Ye Luyan who should run away!
Ye Mingsheng wants to use these thousands of Khitan heads to establish his name as Ye in Liaoyang!
····················
····················
Every moment.
The warm rays of the sun dispersed the faint fog on the plain. The ambitious Yeluyan, with his subordinates who had just had breakfast, arrived not far from Ye Mingsheng's camp.
Now that the situation is clear, Yeluyan, who knows that his troops are very fast, will not give Ye Mingsheng more time to breathe. He will completely annihilate Ye Mingsheng's troops, and then defeat the incoming reinforcements one by one. Thereby looting Fengzhou City, taking away all the property, killing all the men, and taking away all the women...
Although he really wanted to seize the time and annihilate Ye Mingsheng's men as soon as possible, Ye Luyan still understood the simple principle of sharpening his sword and cutting wood.
With sharp eyes like a hawk, he looked around at the camp in front of him, which was surrounded by three wide and deep trenches filled with spears, trying to find an exploitable gap in the camp to attack the enemy. The Khitan cavalryman in his hand, this fast and sharp scimitar, penetrated into Ye Mingsheng's heart!
After two rounds with Xiao Xiu and Brother Yeluhan, Yeluyan had nearly 5,000 troops, of which more than 60% were cavalry. The elite cavalry force would be his most important weapon to defeat the enemy.
Although he held a large number of troops, as the observation lasted longer, Yeluyan's expression became more and more serious as he gained no results. He also began to slowly start to have strong confidence in overcoming the camp and annihilating Ye Mingsheng's troops within one day. Slow drain·············
"Did Ye Mingsheng's troops arrive last night? Did they build this camp and these trenches in one night?"
Although he knew the answer to the question, Yeluyan couldn't help but asked the surrounding Khitan generals:
"I'm telling you, the eldest prince, according to the scouts' reports, these Zhou people worked day and night to strengthen the fortifications last night. They just completed this half an hour ago!"
Many Khitan generals looked at me and I looked at you. Finally, Xiao Xiu, who was familiar with the situation, reported to Yeluyan.
Yeluyan frowned when he heard this, and took another look at the heavily armed and heavily guarded camp in front of him. He still couldn't find any exploitable loopholes, so he finally made a decision in his heart and ordered:
"The cavalry surrounded the camp and fired, and provided cover for the infantry to carry earth bags to fill the trenches!"
"yes!"
All the generals responded in unison:
Following Yeluyan's order, the prepared Khitan army began to take action. They, who were good at riding and shooting, took out their bows and arrows and fired their bows and arrows at the Zhou army's camp. Under their cover, the soldiers Thousands of Khitan infantry put down their weapons, picked up sacks filled with soil and sand, and headed towards the trench.
On the watchtower in the camp, Liang Xuezhang, who was solely responsible for defensive operations, looked at the actions of the Khitan army. A contemptuous smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said disdainfully to Ye Tie and other soldiers beside him:
"Barbarians are barbarians. They are still doing the same thing after decades, and they haven't made any progress at all!"
"Give the order, the first echelon's firearms can start firing!"
"Bang! Bang! Bang!··········"
Under Liang Xuezhang's order, the firearms in the Zhou army's camp began to roar, and the dozens of Khitan soldiers who rushed at the front were immediately knocked to the ground, crying for their fathers and mothers. But the Khitan infantry were indeed too numerous. As soon as one group fell, another group rushed up with shields, continuing the unfinished work of their predecessors.
I have to say that as a foreign race that believes in power, the Khitans are indeed quite ruthless. Not only are they ruthless to their enemies, they are also very ruthless to their own people!
They did not waste any time on the corpses of their companions who died under Zhou Jun's firearms. They simply threw them into the ditch and mixed them in the soil, allowing these comrades who had eaten and rested together not long ago to fill them up. The trench made its final contribution···············
With such a ferocious style, in less than a stick of incense, the Khitans filled in a passage about ten meters long in the first trench after paying hundreds of casualties.
Yeluyan, who was standing at the rear, looked overjoyed when he saw this situation. He immediately waved his hand and more soldiers rushed towards the trench carrying sacks filled with soil.
Regarding the Zhou army huddled in the camp, what Ye Luyan was most afraid of was the firearms in their hands. In the battle just now, he had roughly seen clearly that although there were many firearms in the hands of Ye Mingsheng's troops, they were not Not many, only about five or six squatting tiger cannons and hundreds of three-eyed blunderbuss, which did not pose much of a threat to them.
After realizing this, Ye Luyan became more confident again. Since he had tested out the strength of Ye Mingsheng's troops through the previous battle, what he had to do now was to fill in three trenches at once to provide space for the cavalry to attack the camp. the way·············
Standing on the watchtower, watching a large number of Khitan infantry begin to charge forward, Liang Xuezhang's expression showed a hint of pride. He knew that these Khitan people had finally been fooled, and immediately said to Ye Tie beside him:
"Brother Ye, you can prepare all the firearms to fire! Tell your men to be quick and kill as many of these Khitan dogs as possible!
"With this lesson, the Khitans will never give us such a good opportunity again!"
