Chapter 940 : Poyang War
Zhu Yuanzhang said happily: "What the military advisor said is so true, everything will be as the military advisor said!" After saying that, Zhu Yuanzhang's face returned to his previous murderous look, his eyes swept across everyone's faces, and said in a deep voice: "Tomorrow's battle is a battle of life and death, so I hope to give Chen Youliang a fatal blow to take the opportunity to attack the morale of the Han army. I wonder who would like to make this first contribution in this first battle?"
"Me!" Before Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, Xu Da stood up and clasped his fists and said, "I am willing to be the pioneer and make this first contribution for the general!"
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Brother Xu is both literary and military, and it is best to go to the battle with you in the first battle!"
After some discussion, everyone made detailed plans and determined tomorrow's war, and they returned to the military camp to prepare.
At dawn the next day, after a rapid horn sound, Xu Da, Chang Yuchun, and Liao Yongzhong led his team into Poyang Lake and quickly approached Chen Youliang's dragon boat.
Chen Youliang didn't care about Zhu Yuanzhang's navy, but he didn't dare to underestimate it. He heard the enemy's horns one after another. He walked out of the dragon boat. After Zhang Dingbian's deliberate arrangement last night, hundreds of large dragon boats sailed into Poyang Lake. Although the dragon boats were large, Poyang Lake stretched for hundreds of miles, and more than tens of thousands of dragon boats did not look spectacular.
At this time, the mist was shrouded in water. Chen Youliang had already taken off his dragon robe and dressed in military uniform. He stood at the bow of the boat and glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang on the other side. The countless boats were densely packed with dense boats. He couldn't help but feel very happy. He smiled at Dalan beside him and said, "My beloved concubine, although Zhu Yuanzhang has many soldiers, but the ship is too small. When my dragon boat arrives, it will hit him head-on, but he will not knock Zhu Yuanzhang over to Poyang Lake. In this battle, I will definitely defeat Zhu Yuanzhang in one fell swoop!"
Dalan was snuggling in Chen Youliang's arms, imagining the beautiful scene of the Tang Dynasty poet Wang Bo five hundred years ago, depicting the beautiful scene of the setting sun and the lone wild goose flying together, and the autumn water and the sky are the same. Hearing this, he just looked in the direction of Chen Youliang's finger. As if there were many small boats floating on the opposite side of Poyang Lake, like lotus leaves floating in the lake, with Chen Youliang's ship fifteen zhang long, two zhang wide, and three zhang high. The ship was divided into three layers. The soldiers on the boat rode horses to patrol. Compared with the dragon boat that was not looking at each other at the head and tail (can't attack on the back), it was like a mouse and a lion. Just as he was about to praise him, his eyes flashed, and the smile on his pretty face trembled and instantly solidified. She looked at the boat not far away, which was densely packed with ants crawling on the mirror, and pointed to the distance in surprise: "Your Majesty, look, what is that?"
Chen Youliang was laughing with Zhang Dingbian, Chen Yougui, Chen Youren and other confidant lovers. Hearing this, he quickly turned his head and looked in the direction of her jade point. He saw the other end surrounded by mist, vaguely, dense boats, like ants, slowly moving over.
At this time, the water mist was hazy. Everyone didn't see clearly what was floating on the water surface. They didn't expect it to be Chen Youliang's ship. They just looked at it steadily. The wriggling ant rushed towards the mist bit by bit. Everyone couldn't figure it out. Chen Yougui said, "Grandma, is it a monster in the water?"
At that time, the wind blew, and the dark ants moved very quickly on the lake. In a moment, the ants were several feet away, and the mist was blown away by the morning breeze, revealing the original appearance of the ants under the rising sun. The dark ants were actually small boats. On the stern of the boat, there were sailboats standing on the bow of the boat, and several people stood with swords. The snow-white sword light emitted a dazzling light.
Zhang Dingbian was very skilled in martial arts, and after years of practice, he had become a clear-headed person. When he saw that it was a ship, he was shocked and rushed to the bow of the ship in panic and shouted: "Your Majesty...that...that Zhu Yuanzhang's warship!"
When Chen Youliang heard that it was Zhu Yuanzhang's warship, he was shocked and pushed Dalan away and said, "It's dangerous here, let's leave quickly!" After saying that, he looked at the gods and saw a big "Zhu!" on the sail flag behind each ship, "It's indeed Zhu Yuanzhang! It's coming very quickly! Hurry up, escort the beloved concubine away!"
Chen Yougui and Chen Youren stood outside Chen Youliang's feet behind him. He had not seen it clearly yet. He heard Zhang Dingbian shouting and rushed to the bow of the boat. When he saw forty-five small boats coming from a distance, many large and small, some of which were small boats, and more of them fishing boats. He couldn't help but laugh out loud, not caring about it at all.
At first, Chen Youliang was also surprised. He was still a little surprised that Zhu Yuanzhang dared to launch a new attack. However, when he saw the dense ships, his worry was immediately put in his stomach. He had an army of 600,000 and more than 10,000 dragon ships. However, based on this, Chen Youliang felt that Zhu Yuanzhang in front of him was really overestimated.
I was not panicked, but the enemy came, as the commander of the army, naturally had to face the enemy. After some thought, I shouted: "Don't panic, everyone should return to the dragon boat. General Zhang and General Chen please immediately order the soldiers to start the dragon boat and face the enemy head-on! General Han, you and General Chen each led ten dragon boats to face the enemy from the side. When you meet the enemy, just use the dragon boat to hit it!"
The defeat in recent days has already made Chen Yougui, Chen Youren and Han Shixun show their skills. In the battle of Hongdu, the three of them were a little afraid of Zhu Jun. They were just a little surprised when they heard the enemy coming. When they saw a small boat from the enemy, they immediately called God-given opportunity! The three of them were thinking about how to smash the enemy with a dragon boat. After listening to Chen Youliang's order, the three of them responded quickly and turned and ran towards their respective dragon boats!
Although Zhang Dingbian felt that Zhu Yuanzhang dared to take the initiative, it must be because the visitors were not good, but when he saw the fishing boat on the lake and looked at the Poyang Lake that stretched for dozens of miles, the dragon boat was dispatched and hit the fishing boat, which was enough to smash it to pieces. After listening to Chen Youliang's arrangement, the only time he did not come forward to object.
"Zhu Yuanzhang came so well. Today I will let you taste the power of my dragon boat! In this battle, I must completely destroy you and completely attack you!" As he said that, he issued another order.
More than ten dragon boats slowly greeted him. At this time, the whistling wind on the lake became louder and louder, making the dragon boat flags rush. More than ten dragon boats sailed into the lake, which was quite spectacular.
"Brother Xu... Look, Chen Youliang's dragon boat is moving..." Chang Yuchun, who was walking side by side with Xu Da, looked sharp-eyed, and saw the fast moving dragon boat opposite from a distance.
