Zhang Dingbian said: "I heard that Zhu Yuanzhang's 100,000 elite soldiers were led by Xu Da, and he was fighting fiercely with Zhang Shicheng in Luzhou. There were only more than 100,000 soldiers in Jinling City. Your Majesty immediately went down to attack Jinling City. The 600,000 troops arrived directly to Jinling City. He would definitely be able to conquer Jinling in one fell swoop! By then, Zhu Yuanzhang's troops were dispersed, and it would be impossible to capture Hongdu?"

"This... the last general has no objection. It is also a battle to attack Hongdu, and Jinling is also a battle. Wherever His Majesty asks the last general to attack, the last general will attack. Everyone obeys His Majesty's instructions?" Liu Tao smiled. At Zhang Dingbian's suggestion, Liu Tao, who is ignorant of Dingbian, really doesn't know the good or bad, but it sounds quite reasonable.

Chen Youliang narrowed his eyes and pondered for a moment, and said, "Brother Zhang's words are different. Now that the army is coming to Hongdu, if we turn to Jinling, can the morale of the 600,000 army be guaranteed to recover? The battle of Hongdu is a battle for our Han army to restore morale. No matter what arrangement Zhu Wenzheng made, what kind of conspiracy Zhu Yuanzhang has made, I must take it down Hongdu!"

"Your Majesty...?" Zhang Dingbian still wanted to say.

But Chen Youliang waved his hand and said, "Brother Zhang, don't say much. I have decided. Tomorrow morning, the army will start dinner at the third and attack the city at the fifth! No mistakes must be made!"

"yes!"

At dawn on April 24, Chen Youliang launched an attack, and the Hongdu War began.

Since seeing the heightened city walls on the river surface and the piles of dead branches and leaves, Chen Youliang has completely given up his experience in the Battle of Peace and led a large army to land on the eight gates of Hongdu. Chen Youliang believes that less than 20,000 troops in Hongdu City were undoubtedly a dream to defend the eight gates. As long as you open the most important gate, Hongdu is not worth worrying.

After a night of thinking and observation of the Hongdu City defense arrangement, Chen Youyue decided to take the lead in attacking the Fuzhou Gate.

Fuzhou Gate is the main gate of Hongdu City. This gate is wide on all sides and is very suitable for attack, so Chen Youliang decided to attack Hongdu from here.

At dawn, there were drums outside the Fuzhou city gate. Chen Youliang's army was in Liu Tao and Han Shixun led a hundred thousand troops to attack. According to Zhu Wenzheng's arrangement, Xiao Yun and Deng Yu guarded the Fuzhou gate. The two of them personally led a thousand men and dispatched calmly. At this time, the two stood at the top of the city and looked at them. In the river water outside the city gate, giant ships crossed the entire river surface. There were countless Han troops rushing towards them, and it was difficult to see the end for a while.

Xiao Yun and Deng Yu looked at each other. Xiao Yun was a little nervous when he participated in such a battle for the first time. Deng Yu, who was beside him, laughed indifferently. There were no more soldiers, but the more important ones. Han Xin ordered more soldiers, and the better. Although I have many Han troops, my steps were chaotic and had no formation. This shows that the Han army was not worth worrying about.

Xiao Yun looked carefully and saw that the Han army rushed forward and was rushing. Although the soldiers were fighting desperately, they had no formation and the attack was disorderly. Many soldiers in front were pushed and trampled to death by the soldiers rushing up from behind. Xiao Yun was in a good mood and laughed at the sky, "I killed each other so quickly..."

The atmosphere on the city was a little depressed. At this time, when Xiao Yun said it was funny, many soldiers laughed out loud, and the tense and depressing atmosphere immediately eased a lot.

The Fuzhou city gate is wide on all sides, easy to attack and difficult to defend. The Han soldiers held a bamboo shield in a shape of a basket, pressed it against the vital points of their bodies, slowly moving towards the city, and were about to approach the city gate.

Xiao Yun smiled at the sky and said, "I forgot my life to sacrifice my country, sacrifice my life for justice. I would rather die with justice and be meticulous! My brothers have the responsibility for the rise and fall of the country! Success or failure is here, everyone will give me the opportunity?"

"kill!"

Everyone was infected by his atmosphere and shouted in unison, and the shouts from the city gate were shaking.

Deng Yu and Xiao Yun hurriedly organized troops to defend the city. Fortunately, after many days of preparation and the use of the city defense fortifications of the 21st century, they slowed down the enemy's impact speed. At the same time, the two of them asked the soldiers to prepare rocks, bows, firearms, big woods, and strong crossbows that had been prepared for a long time. Chen Youliang's soldiers used bamboo shields. This shield was fragile and heavy. Xiao Yun was with few people, but fortunately, the city defense fortifications that had been prepared before were protected by the city gates. For a moment, under the city gates, rocks, bows, firearms, big woods, and strong crossbows were like storms and rainstorms, hitting the bamboo shields. The Han army screamed and suffered heavy casualties. The three thousand enemy troops in the first round were killed by rocks. However, the Han soldiers were numerous and shouted to attack and killed. Under the city gates, two thousand people threw rocks, bows, arrows, and woods,

The powerful crossbow and firearms were fired at the same time, and the sound of killing was deafening.

After Zhu Wenzheng's bloody killing last night, these two thousand elite soldiers had already put life and death aside. Everyone knew that one step of defection would be a death. Only by defending the city gate could there be a way out. Therefore, everyone rose up to guard the city. Even the injured person endured the pain and pushed the heavy big stone down the city gate! For a moment, the sound of killing inside and outside the city was filled with sounds of killing, rocks, feather arrows, wood, and powerful crossbows flew around in the air, just like heavy rain.

The screams under the city gate, the sound of horses, the shouts of shouts, and the sound of weapons intersecting each other, shaking the sky and the earth.

Chen Youliang saw the scene of siege on the dragon boat in the distance. Seeing that there were less than 5,000 troops in Fuzhou City Gate, he had a strong momentum of thousands of troops. However, his tens of thousands of troops stopped moving forward at the city gate, and many casualties were injured. He couldn't help but be furious and looked at him with anger: "Send the order, if the 100,000 soldiers of Fuzhou Gate cannot take the Fuzhou City Gate, they will be dealt with by military law! Those who dare to retreat will be killed without mercy!"

"Yes!" The messenger clasped his fists and responded to the order, turned over and rushed to the Fuzhou Gate Gate with his horse waving the flag.

On the city wall, Xiao Yun and Deng Yu were calmly dispatched. Seeing that the enemy was advancing and not retreating, the two of them couldn't help but feel a little nervous. Fortunately, more than a thousand people on the city wall tried to defend the rocks, woods, and powerful crossbows that had been prepared were thrown down the city tower, and the feather arrows with flying feathers on their faces temporarily curbed the pace of the enemy's attack.

This battle took place from dawn to dusk. Due to the preparations in the morning and the chaos in the Han army's pace, wood, stone, strong crossbow and feather arrow gave the Han army great lethal power, so in this battle, the Han army's corpses piled up into a mountain in front of Fuzhou gate, but they were unable to move forward.
