Xiong County.
An urgent report was delivered to the general's mansion.
Yang Song looked at Geng Bingwen's reminder with some disapproval.
King Zhu Di of Yan is just a clown with only fifty or sixty thousand troops. What kind of climate can he achieve?
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Xiong County is the most difficult to defeat among the three cities. King Zhu Di of Yan is not a fool. How could he directly lead his troops to attack?
Yang Song didn't think highly of Geng Bingwen.
He's just an old guy with long experience!
Fortunately, he escaped the great purge in the last years of Hongwu, so now he has become the face of the Ming Dynasty military generals.
Why didn't His Majesty the Emperor think about it? If Geng Bingwen really had any general talents, how could Emperor Taizu Gao keep him?
It is precisely because this old guy is an incompetent waste that Emperor Taizu Gao did not bother to kill him!
Yang Song thought that he was very talented, and he was no worse than Geng Bingwen. However, Geng Bingwen outshined him because of his qualifications, so that Yang Song missed a great opportunity to gain military exploits.
King Zhu Di of Yan, a clown, only occupies a place in Peiping. How can he fight against the imperial court's millions of troops?
Not to mention an army of one million, Yang Song believed that if he took the title of commander and directly led the 130,000 troops to Huanglong and entered Peiping, he would be able to capture and kill King Zhu Di of Yan!
Isn't this a waste of credit?
But the old guy Geng Bingwen is incompetent.
Regardless of the great achievements, what kind of iron barrel tactics are set up here!
Yang Song objected more than once, and even requested to be the vanguard general to take the lead in attacking Peiping.
However, the old guy Geng Bingwen was too stubborn to listen to their opinions at all.
As a result, Yang Song was very angry, and now he was even more angry when he saw Geng Bingwen's reminder letter.
"Damn old thing!"
"Why didn't you die in that purge?"
"Old guys like you should have died a long time ago. Now it's our young people's world!"
Yang Song drank and cursed angrily, and soon became drunk and unconscious.
Even if the general is like this, it can be imagined that the other officers and soldiers are also perfunctory one by one. They drink when they should drink and chat when they should. They never thought that the Yan army would really attack Xiong County.
After all, not long after New Year's Eve, they were forcibly transferred to quell the rebellion, and one can imagine the resentment in their hearts.
At this moment, Zhu Di had personally led his army to the foot of Xiongxian City, but it did not arouse the slightest alert from the defenders.
Even Zhu Di himself felt a little incredible at this moment.
Isn't this a fucking trap?
Soon Zhang Yu rushed back with his men.
"Your Majesty, the investigation is almost complete."
"I caught a few tongues. According to them, the guard general of Xiong County is Yang Song."
"This Governor Yang prided himself on being brave and good at fighting, so he always looked down on Geng Bingwen. He also made bold claims that he could capture and kill Yan Ni with just one hand. After being scolded by Geng Bingwen, he always felt resentful and often drank to drown his sorrows."
At this point, Zhang Yu felt a little ridiculous.
Capture and kill Yan Ni with just one hand?
Just because of a piece of shit like you?
Zhu Di's expression also became strange, and he froze in place for a long time.
No, no, no, the generals of the Southern Army are not all this kind of thing, right?
"Could it be a trap?"
"Yang Song deliberately created such an illusion and wanted to trap and kill us?"
Zhu Neng spoke on the side, looking a little worried.
After all, this place is too damn smooth, right?
It makes people feel uneasy!
Zhang Yu looked strange, but still shook his head.
"Not very likely!"
"Then Yang Song was so stupid that he didn't even patrol the city defense!"
Come on!
What a fucking talent!
Zhu Di couldn't help but laugh out loud, secretly sighing that he was so lucky.
"Okay, let's act according to the plan."
"Whether this Yang Song is really stupid or pretending to be stupid, you will know soon."
All the generals nodded and immediately took the order and left.
Soon a group of defeated troops appeared outside Xiongxian City, and their miserable appearance shocked everyone.
"Open the city gate quickly!"
"The Yan army is attacking Minzhou in a large scale, please go to the rescue quickly!"
Upon hearing this sudden news, the defenders of Xiongxian County immediately panicked.
The guard general Zhang Bao did not dare to hesitate and immediately ordered someone to inform the general Yang Song.
But out of caution, Zhang Bao still did not open the city gate.
"I have ordered people to go and notify General Yang Song, please be patient!"
Hearing this, a cold light flashed in Zhu Neng's eyes.
At this moment, he is hiding in the defeated army, waiting for the city gate to be opened falsely, and he will rush in in one fell swoop.
But he didn't expect that the guard would be so cautious and not panic in the face of an emergency military situation.
However, Zhu Neng didn't care at all. After all, the prince's plan was not limited to this. It would be best if he could deceive the city gate. If he couldn't deceive him, then forget it.
"Go to the rescue quickly!"
"Once Minzhou is lost, Xiong County will also be in danger!"
"Do you want to sit idly by and disobey the general's orders?"
Hearing this, Zhang Bao's face darkened.
The general is naturally Geng Bingwen, the commander-in-chief of the armed forces.
The reason why he divided his troops into three cities was to make the three cities the horns of each other. No matter where the Yan army attacked, the other two cities would immediately send troops to support.
If they disobey military orders and delay the military plane, and the general blames them later, they will be left with nothing to eat!
When he thought of this, Zhang Bao was ready to open the city gate and let in the defeated troops first.
Because the night was dark at the moment, it was impossible to see clearly the true appearance of these defeated troops, and it was impossible to learn more information.
At this moment, the messenger hurried back, his face looking very ugly.
"General, General Yang Song is... drunk!"
"What a bastard!"
Zhang Bao cursed angrily.
In the face of a powerful enemy, the general is drunk. How can such a person be worthy of being a general?
At this point, Zhang Bao had no choice but to order the city gate to be opened.
As for the support issue, we can only discuss it after Yang Song wakes up tomorrow.
After all, he was just a partial general, and the chief general of Xiong County was Yang Song. He was not qualified to overstep his command and send troops.
Following Zhang Bao's order, the city gate slowly opened.
Seeing this situation, a smile appeared on Zhu Neng's lips.
Zhang Bao personally led people to the city gate to welcome the defeated army into the city.
However, when he saw clearly the appearance of the defeated army through the firelight, his expression suddenly changed.
The defeated troops who usually broke out to report the news, not only had blood on their bodies, but at least their faces were tired and their minds were in a trance.
But the hundreds of people in front of me were all full of energy, and their eyes were full of bloodthirsty light!
not good!
Fell into a trap!
"Close the city gate quickly!"
Did you react?
Oh, it's too late!
Zhu Neng suddenly drew his sword and rushed towards the city gate first.
"Brothers, make great achievements right now, come and kill with me!"
"Kill, kill, kill!"
Hundreds of Yan army elites suddenly rose up and attacked Zhang Bao and others with their long swords. The two sides instantly started a bloody hand-to-hand battle.
Before they could react, Zhu Di, who had been waiting for a long time, personally led the army to charge.
"Boys!"
"Enter Xiong County!"
"Whoever enters the city first will be rewarded with a thousand gold coins!"
Zhu Di shouted loudly, which shocked the entire night sky.
Zhu Gaoxu took the lead, galloping towards the city gate with blood-red eyes.
Zhu Neng was still fighting in a bloody battle. The soldiers around him fell to the ground one after another, and he was also stabbed several times.
After all, the number of people was too small and they couldn't stop the thousands of defenders from attacking.
Just when he was about to fall into despair, a spear struck and pierced several people directly.
Zhu Gaoxu rode forward and knocked away the defenders in front of him.
"Hahaha... so happy!"
"Brother Zhu Neng, can we still fight?"
"Why don't you dare?"
Zhu Neng was also very heroic. He followed Zhu Gaoxu into the city with his sword in hand.
Seeing this situation not far away, Zhu Di sighed with some disinterest.
"Why did the prince sigh?" Monk Daoyan asked with a smile.
Zhu Di shook his head and then turned his horse around, preparing to ambush the Mozhou reinforcements as planned.
"It's so boring!"
"Then Yang Song is such a thing!"
"I hope Pan Zhong from Minzhou can bring me some surprises!"
