The First Corrupt Official of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 196 Wang Baobao has received Master Ye’s gift. It doesn’t matter whether Zhu Yuanzhang believes it or not!

"Flag Messenger,"

"Quickly inform Mr. Ye that Wang Baobao and his 25 troops have arrived!"

in the morning light,

On the corridor behind the gate tower of Yanmen Pass, flag soldiers were holding red and blue flags in both hands, shouting flags in an orderly manner.

At the same time, the watchtowers from Yanmen Guanzhong Gate to the county government office began to display the same flags one after another.

Finally, such semaphores reached the eyes of the semaphore soldiers located on the highest watchtower in the central square of the county government office.

The flag soldiers shouted down: "Quickly inform Mr. Ye that Wang Baobao and his 25 troops have arrived."

After the messenger heard this, he immediately ran into the combat command room where only Ye Qing, Zhu Yuanzhang, Mao Xiang and others were present.

Listening to the report of the messenger, the four soldiers who were responsible for synchronously placing the models on the sand table based on the intelligence were also slightly stunned.

But Ye Qing, who was sitting on the high-ranking commander's seat, just said calmly and seriously: "Your duty is to simultaneously place the corresponding models based on the intelligence."

"Yes, my lord!"

As soon as the four finished speaking, they began to quickly place the models.

They placed many models of cavalry and infantry, as well as models of siege equipment, behind the wide opening of the "eight" opening outside Yanmen Pass.

At the same time, a small flag made of paper was also placed, with the words "25 Northern Yuan troops, cavalry, infantry, siege equipment, Wang Baobao" written on it.

Ye Qing just took one look at the 25 Bei Yuan army gathered outside the Nai'er Buhua camp, and immediately said: "Divide the 25 army into three and arrange them, [-] at the east gate and [-] at the west gate. Seventy-five thousand, middle school one hundred thousand.”

"Wang Baobao himself is at the middle gate!"

The soldier responsible for manipulating the sand table in real time received the order and immediately followed it.

After they finished fiddling with it, the entire deployment of troops outside Yanmen Pass became very clear.

Looking at this sand table with the same topography as on the ground, it is like controlling the deployment of enemy and friendly forces throughout Yanmen Pass.

Outside the west gate of Yanmen Pass, which also has an "eight" opening, there are [-] Northern Yuan vanguard troops composed entirely of cavalry, as well as the [-] infantry and cavalry coordinated army that just arrived.

Outside the east gate of Yanmen Pass, which also has an "eight" opening, there is exactly the same troop deployment.

Outside the central gate of Yanmen Pass, there were [-] Northern Yuan vanguard troops composed entirely of cavalry, as well as a [-] infantry and cavalry coordinated army that had just arrived.

Nai'er Buhua and Wang Baobao are both outside the middle gate!
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at this scene and said with some confusion: "The intelligence came that Wang Baobao and his 25 infantry and cavalry troops had arrived, but it did not say that Wang Baobao divided his troops into three branches. How can you be so sure?"

Ye Qing, who had already decided to fight a good battle, did not want to take the opportunity to provoke this part-time imperial envoy. He just wanted to prove his guilt of "an ordinary man is not guilty but he is guilty of having a treasure" in front of Mr. Guo.

Ye Qing just said with a deep look: "Because if I were Wang Baobao, I would also divide our troops like this. Firstly, we can contain each other, and secondly, we can attack at the same time, so that we can't look at each other."

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he held his mouth and shook his head and said: "We don't think so. Since we have found out that there are no firearms in the middle gate, we should go straight to the middle gate."

Ye Qing didn't want to explain to him anymore. If he really wanted to explain, it would be a waste of words.

In fact, the reason is very simple,
First, if you are poor, you can use tactics to intersperse, if you are rich, you can cover it with firepower!

Judging from the ratio of troops, Wang Baobao, who gathered the strength of all the tribes, must be much richer than him, Lord Ye, who only had more than 2 troops.

Therefore, 'fire coverage' is preferred!
Second, although Wang Baobao was beaten away by Xu Da countless times and only won once, it cannot be said that he is not a famous general. He definitely deserves the title of 'the last famous general in the grassland'!

As long as he is not compared with Xu Da and others, he is barely worthy of Zhu Yuanzhang's phrase "the most amazing man in the world"!
Would such a person really easily believe the news that the spies brought back that there were no firearms in the middle gate and that the equipment was old?
He will never believe it easily unless he confirms it again and again in person.

Therefore, it is better to be prepared to bloom everywhere than to make a desperate move, and he can change from blooming everywhere to making a desperate move at any time!
Seeing that Ye Qing did not answer him, Zhu Yuanzhang thought that Ye Qing was showing off again.

But just when he was about to strengthen his tone and ask questions, two messengers ran in one after another: "Report, there is an army of the Northern Yuan Dynasty arriving outside the east gate of Yanmen Pass!"

"Report, there is an army of the Northern Yuan Dynasty arriving outside the west gate of Yanmen Pass!"

After Zhu Yuanzhang heard this information, when he looked at Ye Qing again, there was once again an imperceptible look of shock in his eyes.

In Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, Ye Qing was just looking down at everything on the sand table, but the starry eyes under his sword-shaped eyebrows were spirited and profound.

This was the first time for Zhu Yuanzhang that he could not see Ye Qing's depth in military affairs.

"Order,"

"Appoint General Chen, the commander of the Yangming Fort Guards, as the commander-in-chief of the east gate defense. The entire army will be equipped with new armor and all new Hongwu cannons will be pushed out of the parapet!"

"Appoint General Wang, the commander of the Nie Camp Guards, as the commander-in-chief of the West Gate Defense. The entire army will be equipped with new armor, and all new Hongwu cannons will be pushed out of the parapet!"

"Appoint General Li, the commander of Yanmen's left guard, as the commander-in-chief of the defense of the middle gate. The new armor and new weapons are still hidden in the tower, and the soldiers still wear old equipment!"

"The right guard of Yanmen has changed his clothes, but he will not participate in the city defense. He will be stationed in the pass and be ready to support the three gates at any time. Everything will be done as ordered!"

"."

As Ye Qing's military orders came out, the order soldiers on duty in the combat command room ran out one after another.

At the same time, the operators responsible for playing with the sand table also completed the corresponding models according to Ye Qing's orders.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the east and west gates and the many gun barrels protruding from the parapet, as well as the small flags [one hundred new Hongwu cannons] just planted on the east gate and west gate walls, and then looked at the model above the middle gate, and he immediately frowned. He frowned.

"Master Ye, by sticking so many gun barrels out of the parapet, didn't you tell them clearly that there are cannons in the east and west gates, but nothing in the middle gate?"

"Do you want to use this method to let them all hit the target?"

"A 30-strong army hits the target, are you crazy?"

Ye Qing just smiled lightly and said: "Not only will Wang Baobao not hit the middle gate, he will also take the lead in attacking the east and west gates at the same time. The middle gate will not move!"

"Do you believe it or not?"

Before Zhu Yuanzhang could say 'I don't believe it', Ye Qing immediately added: "It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not, as long as I believe it!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Qing crossed his legs again and said, "Come here, make a pot of mint herbal tea."

Zhu Yuanzhang and others looked at this scene, and the aura of the famous general disappeared in an instant, and turned into the annoying, maverick Master Ye again.

Zhu Yuanzhang just looked at Ye Qing with his sharp peripheral vision, and said in his heart: "If this is not the case, let's see how I deal with you."

"It didn't lead to serious consequences. I just want to tell you that you are not even as good as Zhao Kuo who talks on paper!"

"If there are serious consequences."

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't think about it anymore, but his eyes became sharper.

At this very moment,
Six miles away from the central gate of Yanmen Pass, Wang Baobao, who was tall and tall in leather armor, and a group of Beiyuan generals went straight to the big tent where Nai'er Buhua was.

Outside the tent, after Nai'er paid homage, he invited Wang Baobao in.

"Why is there a truck parked inside?"

Nai'er Buhua didn't answer, but suddenly pulled away the black cloth covering it.

Wang Baobao's eyes widened when he looked at the headless corpse on the cart and the open gift box! .
