The troops of Deshengmen gathered properly, and Zhu Gaoxu ordered the generals to set sail.
They crossed Beiping from the Avenue, joined forces with the main force of King Yàn, and left the south gate.
Tens of thousands of troops left the city one after another, and marched in front, middle and back.
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 he arrived in the army, he did a pretty good job. At least he worked hard and did not have any unhappiness with the generals.
He sat inside alone, and then he recalled again and again how King Gaoyang fought.
Even though Zhu Gaoxu was very serious and did his homework before leaving, he still felt a little lack of confidence.Fortunately, he was just a general of King Yàn and did not need to coordinate the overall situation.
At this moment, soldiers came to the tent to report: King Yàn, King 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 account, and walked in.There were several military generals including Zhang Yu, Zhu Neng, etc., but not many people. Zhu Gaoxu walked up and said, "My son is here to pay homage to your father."
King Yàn raised his left hand and pointed to the side, continuing to sit in the upper position and wrote something.Seeing this, Zhu Gaoxu stood with several generals.
After a while, King Yàn put down his brush and said: I just received the report that the vanguard of the official army had been divided into Xiongxian and Junzhou; Geng Bingwen's army was still south of the Hutuo River, and a group of people went to Hejian.The new Prime Minister of Peking was established in Zhending. With Geng Bingwen's spirit of seeking stability and slow change in war, he must have gone to Zhending.
Now when King Yàn talks about the situation, Zhu Gaoxu at least understands where those places are... Xiongxian and Junzhou are at the front, and the Hejian is in the southwest; further south is a Hutuo River, which is really fixed on the last side and 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 him!
Zhu Gaoxu listened silently, not intending to speak more at all.
At this time, King Yàn said: Zhang Yu's words are reasonable. I see that Geng Bingwen wanted to occupy the city as soon as he came up. He was afraid that he would gain a firm foothold and take defense as an attack, so it would be troublesome... He followed the Emperor's Ancestor to conquer the world, but he only used a few thousand people to defend and siege more than 100,000 people!Our Yàn army must take the initiative to attack while it has not yet established a stable foothold!
He stared at his eyes and said slowly, "Tomorrow is Mid-Autumn Festival, we can take advantage of the situation and suddenly attack!"Gao Xu and Zhu Neng!
Zhu Gaoxu hurriedly clasped his fists and said: My son is here!Zhu Neng also stood up and answered with his fists.
Yàn King’s Way: You and others lead the stairs and cavalry, set out tomorrow dark, and raid the Xiong County official army.
Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Neng replied: Get the order!
King Yàn sent Zhang Yu and Qiu Fu to lead his troops to set up an ambush on the road between Zhengzhou and Xiongxian, ambushing the reinforcements in Zhengzhou, and reminded: Yueyang Bridge is the only way to go, and you can set an ambush here.
Zhu Gaoxu listened and felt that King Yàn was very familiar with the terrain of the battlefield and had ideas about routines, which was indeed very powerful.
King Yàn made arrangements and waved them to go back and rest.Zhu Gaoxu bid farewell to King Yàn, returned to his camp, and called two thousand households to ask them to arrange their turn to watch over the evening.
Zhu Gaoxu thought for a while, then found Wang Bin and said: You arranged a few smart personal soldiers and soldiers to disguise themselves as common people and go to Xiongxian overnight to see the situation.
Wang Bin clasped his fists and said: Finally, I will choose someone.
Zhu Gaoxu said again: Send three people and determine the number when you come back.
By the afternoon of August 15, Zhu Gaoxu received a probe from Wang Bin and went to Zhu Neng to discuss it.
Zhu Gaoxu told Zhu Nengdao: Xiongxian has a small town, and the Southern Army has a large number of people outside the city, with at least seven or eight thousand people.There are wooden stakes and trenches in the military camp.
After hearing this, Zhu Neng cast a praise look, which made Zhu Gaoxu more confident in the battlefield.
Zhu Neng had a big mouth and thick lips. He opened his mouth and said: I have sent someone to see it too.When we arrived at the place in the evening, we first set up the military camp outside the city. If we succeed, there would be few soldiers in the city and we would be able to get it without fighting.
Zhu Gaoxu said modestly: Then listen to General Zhu.
Zhu Neng said again: The cavalry was used very well when King Gaoyang went to the north of the frontier together.Tonight, King Gaoyang still raided with cavalry, and my men 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 joined the army with Zhu Neng and ordered the soldiers to wrap the horse's hooves with rags to reduce movement, so he left the camp quietly.
When the march was midnight, I could hear the sound of gongs and drums in the distance, and the noise was heard; when I looked over, I saw the fire rising into the sky, illuminating the sky.
On Mid-Autumn Festival night today, the soldiers of the Southern Army seemed to be celebrating the festival and have not yet slept...
Zhu Gaoxu and others followed the fire and slowly approached. Even the campfire in the camp could be seen, but they had not been discovered.I have no idea where the sentinels of the Southern Army are.
At this moment, a shout suddenly came from inside, and then the big drum also pounded... and it sounded.
Seeing this, Zhu Gaoxu shouted: Go!
A cavalry on the left wing shouted and rushed towards the barrier. Unexpectedly, the horse army ahead had just rushed to the ditches, and inside... There was a burst of noise, 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 he narrowed his heart and 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 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: Pass the order, the front army retreated temporarily!Use a 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, swept through the barriers, and then shot arrows.
The guards beside the fences of the Southern Army fought back with muskets, but they could not kill the armored cavalry that were slightly far away. When the muskets fired, 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 fences.
Boom... The cannons in the camp also fired.The sound was as loud as thunder, and the fire was even more shining.Zhu Gaoxu didn'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 horse could not be scared.Everyone is a Ming army. Although there are not many weapons and weapons, it is not that I have never seen them...
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!
Zhu Gaoxu immediately kicked the horse and turned around and shouted: The order is, everyone who has not yet joined the army will fight with me!
They crossed Beiping from the Avenue, joined forces with the main force of King Yàn, and left the south gate.
Tens of thousands of troops left the city one after another, and marched in front, middle and back.
However, the army only walked for more than twenty miles a day and then stationed on the spot to build a camp.
