at the same time.

The north city gate was also opened from the inside, and countless figures walked out in groups. After reaching the designated location, they formed a formation and rested on the spot.

When the sky brightened, two military formations appeared in the north and south of Chengtian Prefecture respectively.

The Shun army stationed ten miles north of the city soon saw the situation on the scene and quickly reported the news to Li Zicheng.

"What did you say? The Ming army took the initiative to go out of the city to fight?"

"To reply to the Emperor, this is what happened."

Li Zicheng jumped up and said, "Order all the troops to gather and prepare for battle."

He couldn't wait to go to war with the Ming army.

Previously, the Ming army had defended the city and did not dare to go out to fight in the field, and his several tentative attacks on the city ended in failure.

Now, the Ming army is actually seeking death.

"Send a fast horse to bypass Chengtian Prefecture and deliver a letter to Zhang Xianzhong, telling him that the Ming army has left the city to fight in the field in the north, and that he must attack."

"Yes!" The scout turned and left to deliver the news to Zhang Xianzhong, ten miles south of the city.

Under the personal leadership of Li Zicheng, 30,000 Dashun soldiers quickly arrived at the battlefield.

After looking for a while with his clairvoyance in hand, Li Zicheng suddenly burst into laughter: "The Ming army in the north of the city is less than 10,000 people, while our army has tens of thousands of people."

"The Ming army will surely lose this battle."

Daxi Camp is ten miles south of the city.

"Father-in-law, the Ming army has taken the initiative to leave the city!" Wang Zhaolin ran into the tent excitedly and told Zhang Xianzhong the news.

"Order all units to assemble and prepare for a decisive battle with the Ming army!" Zhang Xianzhong issued the military order without hesitation.

After the military order was issued, the soldiers of the Dashi Army immediately became busy.

After armor, weapons, dry food, water and other things were all prepared, the 30,000-strong army rushed out of the camp and rushed towards the more than 10,000 Ming troops in the south of the city.
