The Deshengmen army gathered properly, and Zhu Gaoxu ordered the generals to set out. They crossed the road from Beiping, joined forces with the main force of the King of Yan, and left the south gate. Tens of thousands of troops left the city one after another, and marched in the front, middle and back three armies.

However, the army only walked for more than twenty miles a day and then stationed on the spot to build a camp.

Zhu Gaoxu rested for a while in the big tent of the left guard camp, and was a little confused... However, on the first day of the army, he did a pretty good job. At least he worked hard and did not have any unhappiness with the generals.

He sat alone in it, and then he recalled again and again how King Gaoyang fought. After thinking about it, he still felt unsure.

It turned out that King Gaoyang had been on the battlefield and had done everything in his mind... But he didn't know what was going on, and he had no thoughts or feelings in his memories, just like scenes, that's it. So Zhu Gaoxu couldn't figure out how to consider when fighting.

Even though Zhu Gaoxu was very serious and did his homework before setting off, he was just talking about the war on paper. Fortunately, he was just a general of the King of Yan, and he didn't have to coordinate the overall situation on paper.

At this moment, soldiers came to the tent to report: "The King of Yan ordered and the King of Gaoyang came to the Central Army to discuss matters."

After hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu got up from the cushion and walked out of the account. He called Wang Bin and others to accompany him and rode his horse to the Central Army camp.

He arrived at the place, put the long and short waist knife outside the tent, and walked in. There were Zhang Yu, Zhu Neng and several other military generals inside, but not many people. Zhu Gaoxu walked up and said, "My son is paying homage to my father."

King Yan raised his left hand and pointed to the side, and continued to sit in the upper position and wrote something. Seeing this, Zhu Gaoxu stood with several generals.

After a while, the King of Yan put down his brush and said, "I just got the report that the vanguard of the government army has been divided into Xiong County and Junzhou; Geng Bingwen's army is still south of the Hutuo River, and a group of people have gone to Hejian. The new governor of the Peking Provincial Department is in Zhending. With Geng Bingwen's fighting spirit of seeking stability and change, he must have gone to Zhending."

Now when the King of Yan talks about the situation, Zhu Gaoxu at least understands where those places are... Xiongxian, Junzhou is at the front, and the river is in the southwest of it; further south is a Hutuo River, which is really fixed at the end, on the south bank of the Hutuo River.

Zhang Yu immediately said: "At the end, please attack Xiong County first, and the official troops of the Zhengzhou province may come to help, and then return to attack!"

Zhu Gaoxu listened silently, not intending to speak much at all.

At this time, King Yan said, "Zhang Yu's words are reasonable. I see that Geng Bingwen wanted to occupy the city as soon as he came up. I was afraid that he would stand firm and take defense as an attack, so that would be troublesome... He followed the Emperor's Ancestor to conquer the world, but only a few thousand people defended the siege of more than 100,000 people! Our Yan army must take the initiative to attack while it has not yet established its foothold!"

He stared at his eyes and said, then he said slowly, "Tomorrow is Mid-Autumn Festival, we can take advantage of the situation and suddenly attack! Gao Xu, Zhu Neng!"

Zhu Gaoxu hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "My son is here!" Zhu Neng also stood up and clasped his fists to respond.

The King of Yan said: "You and others will lead their steps and cavalry, and set out tomorrow to attack Xiongxian official army."

Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Neng replied: "Get order!"

The King of Yan sent Zhang Yu and Qiu Fu to lead his troops to set up an ambush on the road between Zhengzhou and Xiong County, ambush the reinforcements in Zhengzhou, and reminded him: "Yueyang Bridge is the only way to go, and you can set an ambush here."

Zhu Gaoxu listened and felt that King Yan was very familiar with the terrain of the battlefield and had great ideas about routines, and was indeed very powerful.

After the King of Yan was arranged, he waved his hand to let them go back to rest. Zhu Gaoxu bid farewell to King of Yan, returned to his camp, and called two thousand households to ask them to arrange for the evening to take turns to watch.

Zhu Gaoxu thought for a while, then found Wang Bin and said, "Arrang a few smart personal soldiers and soldiers disguised as people and went to Xiongxian overnight to see the situation."

Wang Bin clasped his fists and said, "I will choose someone after all."

Zhu Gaoxu said again: "Send three people to determine the number when you come back."

As of the afternoon of August 15, Zhu Gaoxu received a probe from Wang Bin and went to discuss with Zhu Neng. Zhu Gaoxu told Zhu Neng: "Xiong County is small, and there are at least seven or eight thousand people outside the city with a large number of Southern Army stationed outside the city. There are wooden stakes and trenches in the military camp."

After hearing this, Zhu Neng's praise eyes made Zhu Gaoxu feel more confident in the battlefield. Zhu Neng's mouth was big and his lips were thick. He opened his mouth and said, "I have sent someone to see it. In the evening, we will go to the place and start the military camp outside the city first. If we succeed, there will be few soldiers in the city and we will be able to get it without fighting."

Zhu Gaoxu said modestly: "I will listen to General Zhu."

Zhu Neng said again: "That time, King Gaoyang went out to the north of the frontier together, and the cavalry was used very well. Tonight, King Gaoyang still used cavalry to raid. My people dismounted and went to lift the barriers."

"Just do it." Zhu Gaoxu nodded.

When the sun sets, the moon is full tonight, and the vision is still good. Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Neng join forces and ordered the soldiers to wrap the horse's hooves with rags to reduce movement and then quietly left the camp.

When I marched until midnight, I heard the sound of drums and drums in the distance, and the noise was heard; when I looked over, I saw the fires soaring into the sky, illuminating the sky. Today, on the Mid-Autumn Night, the soldiers of the Southern Army seemed to be celebrating the festival, and they were not asleep yet...

Zhu Gaoxu and others followed the fire and slowly approached. Even the bonfire in the camp could be seen, but they had not been discovered. They had no idea where the sentinels of the Southern Army were.

At this moment, a shout suddenly came from inside, and then the drum also rang "dong dong...".

Seeing this, Zhu Gaoxu shouted: "Come on!"

A cavalry on the left wing shouted and rushed towards the barrier. Unexpectedly, the horse army ahead had just rushed to the ditches, and there was a burst of "bang bang...", and the firelight on the barrier flashed in pieces. The cavalry on Zhu Gaoxu screamed, and many people were caught.

Seeing this, Zhu Gaoxu felt tight and his eyes widened and he finally calmed down. After observing for a while, the effective range of the Southern Army's muskets seemed to be less than ten meters, and those who fell were the knights who rushed to the edge of the ditch.

Seeing that the horse soldiers on his side were coming one after another, Zhu Gaoxu shouted: "Tell me the order, the front army retreat temporarily! Use light cavalry to shoot out ten steps!"

The personal soldiers around him slammed the horse and rushed to the front and shouted military orders.

After hearing the order, the generals retreated for the time being. The generals led cavalry to rush forward and crossed the barriers and shot arrows with "crackling" and fired arrows. The guards beside the barriers of the Southern Army fought back with muskets, but they could not kill the armored cavalry that were slightly far away. When the muskets sounded, the fire was also very bright. The cavalry under Zhu Gaoxu was worried that they had bad vision, so they would shoot wherever they flashed. For a moment, screams were everywhere in the barriers.

"Boom..." The cannons in the camp also rang out. The sound was as loud as thunder, and the fire was even more shining. Zhu Gaoxu couldn't understand the shells that were shot by those cannons, and he really couldn't see clearly at night.

After the cannon fired for a while, Zhu Gaoxu felt that it was not very effective, and even the war horses could not be scared. Everyone was all Ming army, and it was not that they had seen firearms before...

At this moment, a horse came over and shouted, "Prince, General Zhu's men are in the east, risking his life to lift the barriers!"
