Hearing Ye Tie's words, Ye Mingsheng ate the millet porridge in the bowl, and then asked Ye Tie:
"Do you think Liang Xuezhang can't stay for two days?"
Although Ye Mingsheng was very confident in his plan, Ye Tie was Liang Xuezhang's deputy and a general who was on the front line, so Ye Mingsheng still had to consider his opinions.
"It's difficult, but not impossible!" After hesitating, Ye Tie said very cautiously:
"Tell me more specifically!" Ye Mingsheng continued to ask with interest:
"Master, although the firearms we are equipped with have caused great damage to the Khitans, there are many restrictions on the use of firearms, and they are not as convenient as bows and arrows. They cannot continue to attack the Khitans. The Khitans will take advantage of this gap, regardless of Casualties to advance.”
"Due to intensive use this morning, dozens of three-eyed guns, bird guns, and several squatting tiger cannons have malfunctioned. The failure rate of firearms will be even higher in the future. Without the help of firearms, brother We can only use bows and arrows, and both the number of bows and arrows and the shooting skills of our brothers are inferior to those of the Khitan dogs."
"If the Khitans continue to attack like they are now regardless of casualties, then I think their cavalry may be able to rush into the stronghold before dark, but we will definitely be able to repel them, but it's hard to say tomorrow... ·····”
Listening to Ye Tie's story, Ye Mingsheng's expression gradually became serious. He thought for a while and asked:
"What are the current casualties of the Third Battalion? How is the morale of the brothers?"
“Because the Khitans mainly filled in the trenches in the morning and only suppressed them with bows and arrows, the casualties were relatively small, only a few dozen casualties.
"But when the trenches are filled up in the afternoon and the Khitan cavalry enters the battle, the casualties should increase. Liang Xuezhang asked me to be mentally prepared. There will be at least 500 casualties today... ··”
"You don't have to worry about morale, young master. None of our brothers is a coward. We will definitely fight to the death against the Khitans!"
After receiving Ye Tie's answer, Ye Mingsheng's expression relaxed a little and then said:
"I will always pay attention to the battle situation. When the Khitan cavalry joins the battle in the afternoon, I will send a signal to Guo Zhiping outside and ask him to lead the cavalry to harass and contain the Khitan people on the outside. This can alleviate some of your pressure! "
"Thank you for your understanding, young master!" Ye Tie said with cupped hands:
After learning about the situation on the front line from Ye Tie, Ye Mingsheng let him go and asked him to go back and assist Liang Xuezhang in handling the situation on the front line.
Without the assistance of Ye Tie, who represented Ye Mingsheng's will, Liang Xuezhang, as an airborne faction, might have had some command obstacles and inconsistencies in commanding the generals who were close to Ye Mingsheng in the third battalion.
Normally, this would not be a big deal. After all, Ye Mingsheng had very complicated thoughts about Liang Xuezhang. He wanted to use it but also wanted to be on guard...
But now is a critical moment of life and death, and there is no room for sloppiness. Ye Mingsheng requires everyone to unite and work together sincerely, and there must be no internal problems!
However, what Ye Mingsheng would not have expected is that after Ye Tie left his camp, he immediately returned to the front line of the camp, and instead found Ye Dong, the current captain of Ye Mingsheng's personal soldiers.
"Brother Tie, do you have anything to explain?" Looking at Ye Tie approaching, Ye Dong asked in surprise:
"Take a step to speak!" Ye Tie said in a low voice:
After speaking, Ye Tie took Ye Dong to a remote location, and then explained very seriously:
"Before Guo Zhiping led his people out of the camp last night, I borrowed a hundred cavalry from him. They are on the left side of the camp. If things get to the worst stage, you can take the young master and break out from there!"
"I made an agreement with Guo Zhiping, and he will be responsible for the response over there! Be smart when the time comes, and don't forget to find two stand-ins for the young master to confuse the Khitans!
"It's okay for us people to die here. As long as the young master is still there, our group will not collapse. Sooner or later, we can settle the accounts with the Khitans!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Dong was shocked and said:
"Has the frontline war situation become so dangerous?"
"Not yet! Don't worry, you can definitely hold on today, but tomorrow it will be a little dangerous!"
"But you have to be prepared for this kind of thing. If the time comes, how can you make preparations now?" Ye Tie warned:
"Brother Tie, I understand what you said, but does the young master know about this?" Ye Dong nodded, and then asked:
Ye Tie shook his head, sighed and said helplessly: "Don't you know the young master's temper? If you tell him the matter, he will probably not agree."
"There are very few things he decides to do that can be changed. I don't know where the young master got the confidence this time..."
"But if the young master doesn't prepare, we, the subordinates, have to prepare in advance!"
"Ye Dong! You have to remember one thing, it's not afraid of ten thousand, it's just afraid of anything!
"The young master is our Ye family's hope for success, and nothing will happen to him. Do you understand?"
After hearing Ye Tie's instructions, Ye Dong hesitated to speak, but in the end he said nothing. He just nodded and accepted Ye Tie's instructions.
After handing over the matter to Ye Dong, Ye Tie hurried back to the front line of the camp to assist Liang Xuezhang in his work. However, after thinking about it, Ye Dong decided to go into the camp and report the matter. Tell Ye Mingsheng.
After listening to Ye Dong's story, Ye Mingsheng was silent for a while, then smiled and sighed:
"This Ye Tie, I didn't expect him to think a lot, and he hasn't prepared for a rainy day. It's really hard for him..."
Although Ye Tie did it without telling himself, to be honest, Ye Mingsheng was quite touched when he heard this situation. Ye Tie was quite reliable at the critical moment, and he also knew how to find a way out for himself, so that he would not be in vain. His trust and cultivation!
But the one who should find a way out now is not Ye Mingsheng, but Ye Luyan! He, Mr. Ye, is sharpening his knife right now, just waiting for the pig to come...
Seeing Ye Dong's hesitant expression, as if he wanted to ask something but didn't dare to say anything, Ye Mingsheng also guessed what he was thinking and asked lightly:
"Did you tell Ye Tie about that thing?"
"No, Master, please tell me, that thing is top secret. Without your order, no one can tell it, not even my biological father, so I didn't reveal a word to Brother Tie!" Ye Dong said with certainty! :
