Chapter 945 : Sudden Strike
When he heard the Han army attacking, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was giving orders in front of the dragon boat, was shocked, turned around and walked to the bow of the boat, looking into the distance with the railings. Sure enough, in the mist, three dragon boats were about to come over, and three finished fonts were coming towards his dragon boat.
"General Chang, this is our waters. Do you think these three dragon boats are here to attack?" Zhu Yuanzhang narrowed his eyes and looked at the three dragon boats galloping in, his tone was a little unsure. After all, based on Chen Youliang's suspicious nature and his personality, he sent three dragon boats to attack alone, which was not like his technique!
Chang Yuchun stared at the three dragon boats that were getting closer for a while, but was a little unsure. He pondered for a moment and said, "It is difficult for the last general to make a decision. However, our army has 200,000 troops here, and no one in the Han army dared to have such courage?"
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said, "General Chang's words are reasonable! Maybe the Han army came to inspect the waters, we just need to be careful and unwilling to pay attention!"
Chang Yuchun nodded when he heard this and was about to respond, when he heard someone shouting loudly on the dragon boat coming: "The man in white clothes is Zhu Yuanzhang!"
This sound was extremely loud. Zhu Yuanzhang, Chang Yuchun, was close to the dragon boat. He heard it sincerely. He hurriedly walked up to the bow and held the railing to look at the dragon boat. In the mist, in the red sky, Zhang Dingbian stood with a knife. Thousands of soldiers behind him were bowing like a full moon. Firearms, sword lights, spears, and sticks were pointed at his ship. Chang Yuchun took a breath when he saw this scene, his face changed, turned around and pushed Zhu Yuanzhang and shouted: "Lord is not good, it's Zhang Dingbian!"
Zhu Yuanzhang was pushed by Chang Yuchun, but it was thanks to Chang Yuchun's quick eyes and hands. In just a moment, in the mist, Zhang Dingbian ordered thousands of feather arrows, projectiles, and firearms came one after another, pointing at the place where Zhu Yuanzhang had just stood and shot towards him.
Suddenly, feather arrows flew everywhere, shouting for killing, firearms, and collision of swords and sticks rippled in Poyang Lake. The soldiers Zhu who were sleeping were frightened, and some timid soldiers screamed in surprise. When will the morale of the army be in chaos?
Zhu Yuanzhang got up from the bow of the boat and ordered Chang Yuchun, who was wielding his sword and slashing the feathered arrows, and said, "General Chang, immediately start the dragon boat and face the enemy!"
"yes!"
Chang Yuchun responded. At this moment, Zhang Dingbian's dragon boat rushed over. The finished dragon boat hit Zhu Yuanzhang's dragon boat with force. The soldiers who had just woken up were shot by a feather arrow. In the screams, there were all casualties. Chang Yuchun jumped over the dragon head, swung his sword and cut down the feather arrows that were flying in, jumped to Zhu Yuanzhang, escorting Zhu Yuanzhang backwards repeatedly. Everyone pointed directly at the two of them. The feather arrows that were flying in the sky were like rain. Zhu Yuanzhang was in horror and nervously avoided the feather arrows and slingshots under Chang Yuchun's guard.
At this time, a person flew up and jumped in the panic crowd, and turned over with one sword. With the light of the knife, he cut down the feather arrows that were shot one by one, then jumped in front of him and shouted loudly: "Master, it's Zhang Dingbian who is here!"
At this time, the dragon ship of Zhang Dingbian had already rushed into the army. The flags, faces, soldiers, Zhu Yuanzhang and Chang Yuchun saw clearly that they did not need to be shouted by others, and they knew that the dragon ship was the enemy.
The person coming was none other than Xu Da. Since his fleet was destroyed by Chen Youliang's large army artillery two days ago, he had been organizing soldiers to repair the fleet in the rear. He heard the shouts and rushed into the front. When he saw the enemy ship heading straight for Zhu Yuanzhang, he felt anxious and pulled out a single sword from a soldier's waist. With a shout, he led hundreds of people to jump up the sampan down the mountain and rushed over to block the enemy. Most of these people were the navy soldiers trained by the three brothers Yu Haitong. In order to achieve great water skills, he jumped and jumped into the dragon boat and swung his sword to block the feather arrows that were shot.
Xu Da pulled Zhu Yuanzhang to retreat behind a mast, and guarded Zhu Yuanzhang with Chang Yuchun, one left and one right. Xu Da cut off a feather arrow and said, "Lord, Zhang Dingbian is prepared today, and his purpose is lord. Now our army has caused a chaos in the morale of the army by this surprise. If our team is unstable, Zhang Dingbian will take the opportunity to shoot him to death. If this matter is rumored out, it is afraid it will be unfavorable to the morale of the army!"
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes flashed, staring at the mighty Zhang Dingbian on the bow of the dragon boat for a while, and said, "Brother Xu is right, the enemy's army is less than 3,000 soldiers and horses. Today, the general was careless. If you don't quickly see that the troops are welcomed by Zhang Dingbian, you may be in chaos in the army!" He paused here and said, "Brother Xu, I passed the order of the general of this general, immediately formed 5,000 troops in the central army, and surrounded Zhang Dingbian from both sides, and be sure to annihilate this person in one fell swoop!"
Xu Da clasped his fists and said, "Yes!" He turned around and returned to the wardrobe and stopped the chaotic soldiers. These soldiers were extremely strict in their daily training. They were just shocked by the enemy's surprise attack. In addition, they could not see the commander in the army among the troops, so they became disorganized. At this time, they were shouted by Xu Da. Everyone was shocked and returned to their usual calmness. They formed a shield with a knife, a knife, a gun, a stick, and a handful of each hand began to block the enemy's shooting.
When everyone's formation slowly became harmonious, Xu Da ordered the warships to advance to meet the enemy with their sails. The fleet lined up in a row and reached about three miles. The formation quickly divided into two teams, the long snake formation, surrounded by Zhang Dingbian's Pinzi Dragon Boat in the waters of Kangshan.
"Not good, General Zhang... the enemy began to surround us..." Han Shixun, who was responsible for issuing shooting orders to the archers on the ship, saw Xu Da take the lead and divide the formed fleet into two, forming a left-right circumvention, and couldn't help but feel a little nervous tone.
With this shout, Chen Youren, Chen Yougui and Liu Tao on the dragon boat were also nervous. The three of them took the stage to look at it. As expected, in the Kangshan waters, Xu Da was wearing military uniforms, standing on the bow of the ship with a knife, calmly commanding his troops. The fleet divided into two was coming from left to right, forming a fleet, like two dragons rolling on the surface of Poyang Lake.
