After hearing the report from his subordinates, Yeluyan's ferocious eyes flashed with doubts and he fell into thinking.
From the moment he learned last night that Ye Mingsheng did not choose to escape, but instead strengthened the defenses, he realized that Ye Mingsheng's idea was to stand firm and wait for help, attacking from both sides.
However, at the beginning, Ye Luyan was very confident in the strength of his cavalry. He thought that as soon as his cavalry came out, he could trample Ye Mingsheng and the camp into mud, so Ye Luyan didn't think too much at that time... ···
But after a day of fierce fighting, nearly a thousand people were killed and injured, and Yeluyan learned a lesson. He, who was cunning and cruel by nature, began to regain his composure and began to reflect.
Although Zhou Jun played very well today and was very tenacious, from a tactical perspective alone, they were undoubtedly the victor.
However, the tactical victory cannot change the current huge strength gap between the two sides. If they can withstand today, Ye Mingsheng's troops have already tried their best, and there is a high probability that they will not be able to hold it tomorrow.
Judging from Ye Mingsheng's series of operations, Ye Luyan believes that Ye Mingsheng is definitely not a stupid coach!
Ye Luyan was sure that Ye Mingsheng knew that it would take two days for his reinforcements to arrive, and his Khitan cavalry could rush into his camp tomorrow and kill them all!
But why did Ye Mingsheng not do anything even if he knew this?
It's not like he has no chance to escape...
Although if we do that, more than half of the soldiers may die in battle, but this is better than being wiped out, right?
Ye Luyan believed that Ye Mingsheng could figure out such a simple account!
After thinking about it carefully, Yeluyan still couldn't figure out what Ye Mingsheng was up to, so he asked his subordinate Yeluhan, who was always quite resourceful:
"Do you sense anything is wrong?"
Hearing this, Brother Yeluhan hesitated but nodded and said:
"I feel that these Zhenwu troops on the opposite side feel a little confident. If it were the Liaoyang officers and soldiers in the past, they ran away last night and would not be able to resist until now..."
Seeing that Brother Yeluhan also realized his feelings, the doubts in Yeluyan's heart undoubtedly became more intense, and he began to think hard in his heart.
Seeing Yeluyan's depressed expression, Brother Yeluhan comforted him and said:
"Eldest Prince, we have the upper hand now. No matter what tricks that bitch named Ye Mingsheng is playing, as long as we charge into their camp tomorrow, we will definitely win!"
"After annihilating Ye Mingsheng, we can rush into Fengzhou City and steal the Zhou people's belongings!"
Ye Luyan nodded slightly when he heard the words, his eyes burst out with a fierce look, and he looked at the Zhenwu Army camp in the distance. Tomorrow was the decisive battle, and he wanted to see what tricks Ye Mingsheng had up his sleeve!
···············
···············
Early the next morning, Ye Mingsheng, dressed in military uniform, appeared on the front line of the camp together with Liang Xuezhang, He Jingyun and others.
Leading his military attaches, Ye Mingsheng inspected every soldier on the front line, showing his affinity to these soldiers and conveying to them his belief in victory.
With Ye Mingsheng's efforts, the morale of the third battalion, which suffered heavy casualties, gradually gathered together. Everyone had firm eyes, clenched their weapons, and waited for the final fight...
Under the watchtower, more than a hundred of Ye Mingsheng's soldiers were guarding there. Along with the soldiers, there were ten large wooden boxes. There was the "gift" that Ye Mingsheng wanted to give Yeluyan today.
Like Ye Mingsheng, Yeluyan had already decided to capture Ye Mingsheng's army as soon as possible, and he did not hesitate at all. As soon as Chenshi arrived at the Khitan camp, there was a bustle of people. The sturdy Khitan cavalry gathered in groups three meters in front of Ye Mingsheng's formation. Baibu set up a formation, and as the enemy and ourselves took their positions, the air seemed to become solemn, filled with a chilling atmosphere.
Ye Luyan in front of the Khitan formation stared at the camp not far away. Although it was three hundred steps away and could not see the specific situation in the camp, he knew that Ye Mingsheng must be on that watchtower... ·······
After studying a cup of tea for a long time, Yeluyan discovered something unusual and asked Xiao Xiu beside him:
"Where are Ye Mingsheng's cavalry? Why didn't you see them?"
Hearing Ye Luyan's question, Xiao Xiu hesitated for a moment, but still said honestly:
"Reporting to the eldest prince, according to reports from my subordinates, after the battle ended yesterday, the Zhou army's cavalry did not come out after returning to camp..."
Upon hearing this answer, Yeluyan frowned immediately, and doubt appeared in his eyes again.
Ye Mingsheng's cavalry team performed very well yesterday, containing a full third of his cavalry. Otherwise, he might have captured the camp yesterday.
Because of this, Ye Luyan originally thought that Ye Mingsheng would continue this tactic, so he prepared countermeasures early, hoping to concentrate the superior cavalry power to annihilate this damn little flea, cut off all Ye Mingsheng's thoughts, and then Destroy Ye Mingsheng.
But he never expected that Ye Mingsheng would pull the plug this time and not send out the cavalry. This time he would really be able to be punished...
After hesitating for a moment, Yeluyan, who still couldn't figure out what kind of tricks Ye Mingsheng was doing, simply stopped thinking about it and directly waved his hand and ordered loudly:
"Ride and shoot around the camp!"
"yes!"
Under the leadership of the leaders, the Khitan people began to charge towards Ye Mingsheng's camp. They roared towards the camp with fierce energy. The soldiers of Zhou who had already experienced their power couldn't help but become nervous, and some of them were timid. Some even showed fear on their faces.
At this time, Liang Xuezhang, as the frontline commander, also issued an order for the firearms troops in the camp to begin preparations. The bird guns and tiger squatting cannons began to be loaded and loaded.
The roaring Khitan cavalry was approaching. Fifty steps in front of the camp, when they were preparing to bend their bows and set arrows, the firearms troops also started roaring with a wave of Liang Xuezhang's hand.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Although the Khitan cavalry are all equipped with armor and have high defense in the cold weapon era, within the range of fifty steps, the power of firearms is still very high. Countless lead bullets quickly streaked through the air and hit the target. On the body of the Khitan cavalry.
The Khitan cavalry who rushed at the front almost undoubtedly survived, but they all died tragically under the muzzles of firearms.
