Although he is Ye Tie's boss, Liang Xuezhang knows that Ye Tie is Ye Mingsheng's number one confidant, so he keeps a low profile. For Ye Mingsheng's sake, he treats Ye Tie very friendly and is always friendly. Brother Ye Tie is a good match, and he doesn't pretend to be a superior to Ye Tie.
Facing Liang Xuezhang's order, Ye Tie nodded and said, "I'll do it right now!"
As the saying goes, "Don't hit the smiling person". Although Liang Xuezhang, Chen Dechang's old subordinate who was parachuted down by Ye Mingsheng, was assigned a task, monitored and isolated, Liang Xuezhang's friendliness also made the relationship between Ye Tie and him relatively harmonious, at least everyone lost face. Everything was fine, and Ye Tie obeyed Liang Xuezhang's normal combat orders.
"Looking at the Khitan soldiers charging forward, a ferocious smile appeared on Yeluyan's rough face. He seemed to have seen that the three trenches in front of him had all been filled in, and his Khitan cavalry rushed in. In front of you, you can see the joyful scene of wanton killing in the Zhou army camp...
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Just when Ye Luyan was immersed in his beautiful fantasy and couldn't extricate himself, without the slightest warning, a violent roar of firearms came from the Zhou army camp.
The huge sound instantly brought Yeluyan back to reality from his fantasy, and the scene that appeared in front of him made Yeluyan furious.
Under the indiscriminate firing of tiger cannons, three-eyed blunderbuss, bird blunderbuss and other firearms, countless Khitan soldiers who were carrying sacks and carrying soil were all knocked to the ground. For a time, the front of the trench was like a hell on earth, with wailing all over the place. Hundreds of Khitan soldiers were writhing in pain on the ground, their bright red blood mixed with the soil.
"Help me, help me..."
"Mountain God, take me out of here..."
"I'm dying!"
···············
···············
Seeing the miserable situation in front of him, Yeluyan was filled with rage. As an experienced general, he had already judged from the sound of the opponent's firearms and gunshots that the opponent had at least thirty squatting cannons and hundreds of cannons. A fire gun··········
When Ye Luyan realized this, his face turned extremely ugly. He knew that he had fallen into the opponent's trick!
The general in charge of the opponent's camp had just seen that his attack was tentative, so he used a trick and only used part of the firearms to attack, just waiting for him to fully attack, so that he could attack with all his strength!
"Prince, the infantry has suffered heavy losses. Can you withdraw first and wait for a while?" Seeing that the offensive was frustrated, a general stood up and suggested to Yeluyan:
Yeluyan, who was feeling very upset, became even more angry when he heard this. He raised his hand and hit him hard with a riding crop. He beat the man until he screamed and fell to the ground.
"Idiot! If we withdraw these sacrifices now, won't they all be in vain?"
"What do you think this bitch Ye Mingsheng wants to do by resisting here? His reinforcements will arrive in a short time!"
"We don't have much time!"
"You are not allowed to retreat! You are not allowed to retreat even one step! It takes time for Zhou Jun's firearms to be reloaded. Press on me, and the cavalry and cavalry are for me to suppress Zhou Jun!"
Under Yeluyan's angry curses and roars, the Khitan soldiers who had just suffered a heavy blow regained their strength and charged forward.
From the watchtower in the camp, looking at the large number of Khitan soldiers who continued to attack the camp under the cover of cavalry fire, the relaxation in Liang Xuezhang's expression was no longer there...
Although there were no specific statistics for the wave of firearms strikes just now, relying on his many years of marching experience, Liang Xuezhang judged that there should be about 300 to 400 casualties among the Khitan soldiers.
This is no longer a small number for the Khitan army, which has a total of less than 5,000 people. Normally, after paying so many casualties, the Khitan army should at least slow down the offensive even if it does not stop the attack.
But now the Khitan army's attack was like a wounded beast. It seemed even crazier and more careless about casualties. It was determined to fight to the death and fight to the death. After discovering this, Ye Mingsheng asked him to defend for two days. Liang Xuezhang couldn't help but cast a shadow in his heart...
Shaking his head slightly and throwing away the unnecessary thoughts, Liang Xuezhang on the watchtower observed the Khitan army's offensive. He quickly issued instructions one after another, commanding the soldiers to resist step by step, killing as many Khitan soldiers as possible and delaying their filling in. Trench speed.

Listening to the loud noise outside, Ye Mingsheng slowly woke up from his sleep on the bed.
After talking to He Jingyun last night, Ye Mingsheng personally supervised the reinforcement work on the front line. It was not until Mao that he got some rest time and took a short sleep.
Ye Dong, who was guarding outside the tent, heard the movement in the tent and knew that Ye Mingsheng was awake. He immediately walked in and handed the warm towel and a cup of hot tea to Ye Mingsheng.
After wiping his face and drinking some tea, Ye Mingsheng, who had just woken up, gradually got out of his sleep state and asked:
"What time is it now?"
"It's three o'clock!" Ye Dong thought for a moment and replied:
Ye Mingsheng was a little surprised when he heard this. He thought he just took a nap, but he didn't expect that he slept for more than two hours. No wonder he slept well this time... ····
After pondering for a while, Ye Mingsheng ordered: "Get Ye Tie for me!"
"yes!"
A moment later, Ye Tie, who was summoned by Ye Mingsheng, appeared in front of Ye Mingsheng who was eating breakfast.
After taking a sip of warm millet porridge, Ye Mingsheng asked Ye Tie:
"How is the situation on the front line?"
"The Khitan people's offensive is very fierce and they are not afraid of death. Now they have nearly 700 casualties. However, the two trenches in front of the camp have basically been filled in by them. They should be able to fill in the third trench before noon. Come on!" Ye Tie said in a somewhat depressed mood:
After hearing Ye Tie's report, Ye Mingsheng nodded, took another bite of pickles and put it into his mouth.
The Khitan's speed was faster than he thought, but not too fast and still within his acceptable range.
Seeing that Ye Mingsheng still looked calm and not anxious at all, Ye Tie hesitated for a moment but couldn't help but said:
"Master, Liang Xuezhang is really good at defense. If it weren't for his command, the Khitan people wouldn't have suffered so many casualties!"
"However, the Khitans are determined to be ruthless this time. It should be okay to hold the camp today, but tomorrow..."
