He kept looking towards the north bank of the Huai River.
This is not the main battlefield, the main battlefield is in the north.
......
"kill!"
On the north bank of the Huai River, deafening shouts of killing came from behind the Ming army that was crossing the river.
Liu Zongmin led his troops to the battlefield.
When he discovered that the Ming army was crossing the river, he ordered an attack without hesitation.
Gao Jie, who was attacked from both sides, panicked and looked hurriedly towards the boat on the water.
Lu Daqi bent down and walked out of the boat awning, put his hands behind his back and looked towards the north.
"Report!" A scout came to the shore and shouted to Lu Daqi, "Your Excellency the Governor, Liu Zongmin is leading his troops to attack our rear camp."
"We have now broken through the baggage camp and are heading towards General Gao's central camp."

Lu Daqi nodded, turned around and said to Gao Jie on the shore: "The time has come, let's raise the signal smoke."
Gao Jie breathed a sigh of relief and asked someone to light the pile of firewood that had been prepared on the shore.
The dry straw ignited the firewood, and then white smoke came out from the wet firewood piled on top of the firewood.
Wolf smoke is not produced by burning wolf dung, but by burning various firewoods.
Taking the Tang Dynasty as an example, the speed of beacon smoke transmission was 2,000 miles in a day and night.
If there is a beacon tower every ten miles, there will be a total of one hundred beacon towers every one thousand miles.
If you use wolf dung to make smoke signals, five pounds of wolf dung will be used each time, and five hundred pounds of wolf dung will be needed to deliver a message.
It takes a wolf ten days to produce one pound of wolf feces (after drying).
If you want to collect 500 kilograms of wolf dung, it would take 500 wolves ten days to do it, and then they would voluntarily hand it over to humans.
Because it would take a lot of time for humans to collect them.
This is undoubtedly a daunting task for the wolf.
