"What?" In the hall, the atmosphere suddenly stagnated, and all the generals were stunned, and then their faces were full of joy.

Chang Mao stood up even longer, and even the wine glass on the table was touched off the table, as if he hadn't heard it, and only hurriedly asked, "Really?" Is the message accurate? ”

"Are it really 20,000 bird tartars? Not a suspicious soldier? ”

"Seriously, it's true." The soldier nodded. The brothers who went out at night were also worried that they were suspicious soldiers, so they took the risk to go in one by one to see. The figures in those felt tents flickered, not as if they were fake, but they must be the main force of the Tartars. ”

"Hahaha." Chang Mao listened attentively, suddenly looked up to the sky and smiled, and then walked quickly to the outside of the hall, and said loudly while walking: "Come on, take the big knife of your country, and quickly wear armor for your country!" ”

"The people will listen to the command, and you will wait until you return to the camp. Straighten out the troops. ”

"After a stick of incense, go out of the city with your own country to attack the enemy!"

"Yes!" The generals were also in high spirits, even if they had some alcohol on their faces, they were all in good spirits now. After a few breaths, most of the people at the table dispersed, leaving Chang Sheng and Zhu Xiongying, who looked surprised, still here.

“…… Two...... Second uncle, what is this? It was the first time for Zhu Xiongying to see such a battle in the army, and he was a little surprised by the vigorous and resolute actions of these Daning generals.

"Hehe, the grandson is sitting and drinking here. This is the thief of Benjamin, who is going to fall for our plan. "Chang Shengdao." It's okay, in Daning City, there is still me to guard. ”

"His Royal Highness Taisun and I are waiting for my brother, and their good news is."

Zhu Xiongying was stunned for a moment, but after reacting, he shook his head solemnly and said firmly: "Second uncle, can I go out with my eldest uncle." ”

"It's good to see the two armies fighting, what kind of scene is it?"

Chang Sheng was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously dissuaded: "Your Royal Highness Taisun can't, the so-called son of a daughter, he can't sit down, and there are no ......eyes on the battlefield."

"I am a descendant of the Zhu family, and I have the invincible bloodline of my ancestor, so I am afraid of the battle array?" Zhu Xiongying straightened his chest and said confidently.

"Besides, second uncle, you also said that it was the Tartars who fell for my Ming plan, and with my eldest uncle and tens of thousands of loyal soldiers around me, is there a safer place in the world than this?"

"My grandfather and father asked me to come here, not because I wanted my nephew to visit the mountains and rivers here...... Besides, I am a prisoner of the army, if I have never even seen the battle array, how dare my nephew say that he has come to this side of the army? ”

Chang Sheng was moved, pondered for a moment, got up and said, "Okay, I'll go to my brother to talk." ”

"Your Royal Highness, you put on your armor first, remember to wear a few more layers. I have assigned my Changfu pro-army to you, and you must remember that you must not act alone. ”

"Since you are in battle, you have to obey the dispatch of the main general, and you have no way to do it yourself." Zhu Xiongying also said solemnly.

Chang Sheng then walked out of the hall quickly to Chang Mao, and told Chang Mao about it, but Chang Mao had no objection. In his mind, the Zhu family is not a papier-mâché clay sculpture, and if they want to make a weapon, they should naturally go to the battlefield. Besides, Zhu Xiongying still has half of their Chang family's blood on his body.

So, Zhu Xiongying put on three layers of chain mail, stepped on a war horse, and followed Chang Mao's side to accompany the expedition. The Daning army was in a hurry, tens of thousands of horsemen rushed out of the city regardless of the night, men and horses, and did not use torches, only the bright moonlight in the night of the grassland, like a dull and terrible black cloud, swept away to the north.

On the way, Zhu Xiongying knew why Chang Mao was so excited.

It turned out that in order to attract Tatars to attack Daning, under the secret operation of Changmao and others, there was a Goryeo caravan with extremely expensive goods to the Quanning Field on the border of Daning.

This Goryeo caravan, under the banner of Li Chenggui's former ministers, said that it had stolen all kinds of royal treasures and even ordnance that Li Chenggui had accumulated and wanted to transport them to Saibei for sale.

Benjamin's tribe wandered around the steppe, and what was lacking most was all kinds of supplies and ordnance. And one of them was a combination of various anti-Ming forces in the north, and there were also some remnants of Li Chenggui who were exiled on the grassland when he was defeated. These remnants of Goryeo knew that it was indeed possible for Li Chenggui to leave such a large inheritance.

In this way, Benjamin was naturally very moved.

However, this was nothing more than a bait cast by the brothers Changsheng and Changmao to lure the Tartars into biting. The purpose was to lure the Tatars to take risks in order to plunder this caravan, and to give the Ming a chance to annihilate it in one fell swoop.

Don't look at Chang Mao's illiterate military books, and he hasn't even learned two words well. But I can't bear that he likes to listen to books. This "bait" strategy is the strategy he figured out from the "Outwitting the Birth Gang" of the Water Margin.

This so-called legacy of Li Chenggui is the "Birth Gang" used to lure these "heroes of Liangshan" in the Tatar Ministry.

Although it was only a ploy to lure the enemy, Benjamin and Arutai of the Tartars were both cunning and fox-like characters. This very important "birth outline" naturally cannot just be a hypothetical matter. In order to get together these "birth gangs" that are bait, Chang Mao and Chang Sheng have made a lot of money, if they fail to achieve their goals, this painstaking operation will be in vain.

Therefore, when he learned that the Tatars had really come, Chang Mao was immediately excited, and immediately ordered his troops and horses to go out of the city, lest he really do the fake show, and the blood he ordered was really swallowed by the Tatar department.

"His Royal Highness Taisun, Guogong, about five miles to the northeast, there are two armies fighting."

The cavalry on the grassland was galloping very fast, and before dawn, Zhu Xiongying, who was following Chang Mao, heard the report from the night guards scattered out by the army. Chang Mao, who was still in good spirits after galloping all night, was overjoyed, and immediately ordered: "The whole army, march forward for three miles, put the geese in formation, the cavalry is divided into left and right wings, and the infantry army is divided into two armies. ”

"Launch a hot air balloon and watch out for the enemy...... We must wipe out this gang of thieves and birds! ”

"Yes!" The morale of the whole army is like a rainbow.

After a night of rapid travel, Zhu Xiongying, who was wearing three layers of armor, was already sweating, even though this armor was made by skilled craftsmen, and it was not heavy, but the three layers were added together, and after wearing it overnight, it also taught Zhu Xiongying's thighs to be a little overwhelmed, his grinding was painful, and his body was also shaky on horseback, and he didn't understand how these soldiers could still be so energetic after a night of marching, and even eager to try.

He usually only thought that the battle array was heroic and romantic, but he never thought that just marching would teach people to be so difficult.

However, without waiting for him to think about it, the army came to the place of the frontline battle, and the sound of gold and iron fighting could already be heard in front of him, Chang Mao took the men and horses to place the rear army on a high slope, condescending, overlooking the entire battlefield, which was also Zhu Xiongying, the first time to see the tragic situation of the battlefield.
