The First Corrupt Official of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 251 Master Ye is actually a saint than Zhu Yuanzhang, Queen Ma has different expectations, and the Beiyuan cavalry is a nightmare!

"Although I don't know what the so-called aerial fire sea formation is, let alone how powerful it is."

"But General Li said that he could annihilate [-]% more of the Beiyuan cavalry, so it should be possible."

"Master Ye, just by using a tactical formation in advance, you can eliminate [-]% more of the enemy's cavalry. This is undoubtedly saving the lives of the melee soldiers arrayed outside the city!"

"I want to know why Mr. Ye is unwilling to use it in advance?"

combat command room,

In the eyes of everyone, Mrs. Guo, who was temporarily in charge of military order documents and minutes, immediately stopped writing and stood up to ask Ye Qingdao.

It's just that unlike Mr. Guo who likes to keep a straight face for a long time and always acts like everyone owes him money, although Mrs. Guo smiles politely and lightly, she can't be considered humble and apologetic.

Judging from her facial expression at this moment, as well as her polite but neither humble nor condescending tone, she really gave people the feeling that no one could dislike her.

Because of this, even if Ye Qing, who was busy playing chess, was disturbed, he would not immediately turn his back on the person.

He just felt that Mrs. Guo's speech was really mellow and measured, unlike Mr. Guo who spoke like a gun and a stick!

With these four simple sentences, she was able to praise and criticize at the same time. It was better to praise first and then criticize. The praise was more obvious and the disparagement was less obvious.

The meaning of her first two sentences was that she had never heard of or seen the aerial fire sea formation before, but even so, she completely believed what General Li said.

In fact, I believe that the formation created by Ye Qing does have this strength, which means that I am completely sure of Ye Qing's talent!

The meaning of these two sentences is very obvious, anyone who is not a fool can understand it!

In the next two sentences, she first said that the result was equivalent to saving the lives of close combat soldiers, and then directly asked him why he was unwilling to use it in advance.

Translated, it means asking him why he didn't save him even though he was about to die!
Ye Qing didn't know how many people here understood the meaning of the last two sentences, but he completely understood them!
This way of speaking that first praises and then criticizes, and then praises and criticizes clearly but not clearly, not only takes care of Ye Qing's face in front of others, but also ensures that Ye Qing can understand him, and has the effect of uniting him.

There was even a hint of courtesy first, then attack. If Ye Qing didn't say anything, she might have said it more bluntly!

Thinking of this, Ye Qing looked at Mrs. Guo with a hint of admiration in his eyes. He just felt that Mrs. Guo was born in the wrong era. If she was born in modern times, she must be a good diplomat.

In fact, Ye Qing really didn't have to give face to Mrs. Guo, but still said that Mrs. Guo was not like Mr. Guo who was born to be beaten.

The key is that he knows that these two people are standard red-faced people. It is not easy to offend the white-faced people. He only needs to put all his efforts on Mr. Guo who can talk to Zhu Yuanzhang. .

Thinking of this, Ye Qing just said calmly: "In the face of necessary sacrifices, you must not be merciful!"

"When using troops, one must be kind but not in charge of them. As for loving one's soldiers as one's own son, one must show love after one has used them."

"."

After hearing such words, Queen Ma nodded thoughtfully. This principle is still very correct. Whether it was her family Chongba or Xu Da, or even many famous generals in history, they also used troops in this way. .

It's just that she doesn't understand why the soldiers arrayed outside the city are 'necessary sacrifices' in today's battle?

But after she listened to Ye Qing's words more, she felt that their sacrifice was indeed necessary!
the reason is simple,
First of all, the density of cavalry rushing into the stone wall maze formation is too low, and they move quickly and flexibly. They can be consumed by using the crossbow bed.

As for the cavalry that broke out of the maze of stone walls, there were also three firing arrays of gunmen and clusters of arrows on the city wall that could be fired at any time.

After they have survived these rounds of attrition, there will not be many Beiyuan cavalry who can collide with the contradictory horse-rejection formation.

Therefore, the sacrifice of the soldiers of the Conflict Rejection Horse Formation will not be too great!
If the aerial fire sea formation is used in advance, it can indeed ensure that the cavalry will not be able to rush in front of the contradictory horse formation and all will be killed.

But ten thousand cavalry charged, and in the end they couldn't even touch the military formation outside the city. This would greatly dampen the infantry's enthusiasm for charging.

If they withdraw their troops directly, even if Xu Da comes from behind them, he will only miss them, thus ruining the strategic plan of gathering and annihilating the enemy under the city.

Furthermore, his aerial sea of ​​fire formation was originally designed to target high-density infantry with less flexible movements.

In short, there is a saying, the more enemies, the better, and the density is so high that people are close to each other is the best!
After Empress Ma understood everything, she looked at Ye Qing with a more appreciative look!
This young civil servant not only possesses amazing political talents, but is also able to take into account both strategy and tactics when it comes to leading troops in combat. He is truly a master of both civil and military skills!
Just when she thought of this, she became worried again unconsciously.

As a minister, with absolute civil and military skills, is it really that good?
Not necessarily!

If you are lucky, it will be good for the country, the king, and yourself. But if you are unlucky, it will be bad for the country, the king, and yourself!

Thinking of this, Queen Ma suddenly felt that if Ye Qing won too perfectly, it would not be good for him!

Without affecting the final outcome of the battle, making a small mistake and allowing her family Chongba to find a point that could be said to be bad for Ye Qing would be the best result for him and the best result for the Ming Dynasty.

She knew that although Zhu Yuanzhang had been angry with Ye Qing for a long time and said harsh words that Ye Qing would kill him if he made any mistake, but those were just harsh words.

On the contrary, making a few forgivable mistakes can also be a good medicine to reassure the emperor.I'm afraid that he, Ye Qing, never makes any mistakes and is a saint even more than the emperor!

But just when Empress Ma was so worried and hopeful, Ye Qing once again looked in the direction of Yanmen Guanzhong Gate, his eyes still full of peace of mind and comfort.

He knew that the next result of the battle would be as he said. Although it had not happened yet, it must be the fact that it would happen soon.

The reason is very simple, because the tricks of his current opponents are all leftover from his previous opponents!
As long as today's battle is over, his purpose of establishing for himself in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart through Mr. Guo that "every man is innocent, but he is guilty of carrying a jade" will be completely achieved!
When that time comes, even if Zhu Yuanzhang is inconvenient to kill himself because of his immediate military exploits, he must still be looking forward to his death day and night!

As long as he, Ye Qing, takes a bite out of the agricultural tax, it will be really hard for him not to die!

Thinking of this, Ye Qing's lips also had an imperceptible smile of success!
At this very moment,
Ye Qing's military order was once again conveyed to the ears of General Li and Zhu Yuanzhang through flag language.

After General Li received the order, although he was disappointed that his proposal was rejected, he absolutely did not hesitate to carry out Ye Qing's military order.

In front of Zhu Yuanzhang, he simply ordered to the messengers around him: "After the Beiyuan cavalry broke into the stone wall maze formation, seventy crossbow beds equipped with three arrow slots will do their best to kill the cavalry and horses!"

"The other thirty crossbow beds equipped with an arrow slot will continue to look for and annihilate the enemy generals at all levels, as well as the banner bearers!"

"Instruct three sections of fire cannon formations outside the city. Once the enemy cavalry breaks out of the stone wall maze formation, they will open fire on their own and retreat after one round of shooting!"

"Send a message to the archers in the city. As soon as my musketeer retreats, I will start firing with arrows!"

"Instruct the trebuchet array in the city to prepare for launch and wait for the general's order to launch the aerial sea of ​​fire array!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was really angry when he heard this general order, but he was not angry with General Li, but angry with Ye Qing for not knowing what he was thinking.

Not to mention whether Zhu Yuanzhang believed in the power of the aerial sea of ​​fire formation, he took it seriously that it could kill [-]% more enemy cavalry, but what's the point of keeping it and not using it?
What's the difference between this and the enemy who still has a sword without using it?
But he also knew that he, as a general, did not have any actual command power. It was only Ye Qing who was happy that he was a general. If he was not happy, he would not even be able to go up to the city wall as a spectator.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang's peripheral vision as he looked in the direction of the county government instantly felt a trace of imperceptible anger.

"The surname is Ye,"

"It's best that your crossbow bed and three-stage shooting plus arrow rain can destroy most of the cavalry!"

"It's best that when your hidden treasure 'Aerial Fire Sea Formation' is actually used, it will have a better effect than killing [-]% ​​more cavalry!"

"otherwise."

Just when Zhu Yuanzhang was secretly cruel, he couldn't even think about it anymore.

Because as long as he is still here, all the harsh words are unrealistic nonsense. If you want these harsh words to become reality, you have to wait until he returns to Beijing.

But even so, it did not affect him from giving Ye Qing a demerit.

He, Zhu Yuanzhang, is not an unreasonable person. He will record all his merits and demerits.

As for whether the merits and demerits after returning to Beijing are equal to each other, or whether the merits are equal to the merits and demerits, it depends on Zhu Yuanzhang's needs at the time.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but admit again that he and Ye Qing were indeed very similar sometimes, they were both shameless people!

"call out!"

At this moment, clear sounds of breaking through the air continued to come from both sides of the city wall.

Zhu Yuanzhang only saw the nearby crossbow bed equipped with three arrow slots, which had already begun to release arrows.

Three arrows, twice as long and twice as thick as ordinary bows and arrows, flew out right in front of his eyes. In terms of speed and trajectory, it could be said that they were almost unaffected by the wind, snow and air currents, and they rushed straight into the sky. The Beiyuan cavalry left the stone wall maze array.

When it comes to understanding this stone wall labyrinth, Zhu Yuanzhang is far inferior to Mao Xiang, who has experienced it personally.

This stone wall maze consisting of three large stone walls and 25 small stone walls can be said to be a great test of horse riding skills.

These stone walls are not connected at all, but they create dozens of different right-angle turns. If you ride too fast, you will not be able to pass them.

But if the riding speed is too slow, or if the curve is not smooth and there is a slight pause, you may become the target of a powerful crossbow!
If it was him, Mao Xiang, who came to break in, it shouldn't be a big problem.

But Mao Xiang's riding skills are not comparable to those of ordinary Beiyuan cavalry. Even if Ye Zhebie, the founder of Beiyuan cavalry and archery, comes back to life, he may not be able to compare with Mao Xiang.

Mao Xiang looked at the armor-piercing arrows that were continuously fired from the city wall, almost ignoring the influence of the wind, and then looked at the Beiyuan cavalry who had just rushed into the stone wall maze formation and wanted to strangle their horses to slow down, and already knew the result. .

If they want to break out of this stone wall maze, they have no other choice but to pray for their immortality! .
