Chapter 952 : An Ordinary Day

"Quick...Quick..." At this moment, a warship rushed over. The man standing at the bow of the warship was covered with a helmet and armor, holding a long spear, and was mighty and vigorous. He kept urging the soldiers of the warship to speed up. The sound of shouting was astonishing.

The ship advanced like the wind. The man on the bow squinted his eyes and looked at the figure fighting on the dragon boat. Suddenly, he shouted at a soldier in front of him, "Tell me, which one is Zhang Dingbian above the dragon boat?"

The soldier beside him, also narrowed his eyes, stared at the two figures jumping in the dragon boat for a while, then reached out and pointed at a man with long beards floating on his chest, shouting: "It's him, the young one recognizes it. The one with a beard on his chest is Zhang Dingbian, how amazing is it?"

The man on the bow of the boat glared at the soldier fiercely and shouted: "Come on the bow and arrow!"

"Yes!" The soldier felt abrupt, stuck out his tongue, turned around in shame, took down a large bent bow and a feather arrow from the back of another soldier.

The man took the feather arrow without saying a word. He held the arrow's eagle feather in his right hand and placed an arrow on the string. He took a long breath, as if he was holding a full moon. He pulled the bowstring with a whirlwind and shot out the arrow.

A "whisper" sound came from the air, and the bow and arrow of Lisheng shot towards the dragon boat like a meteor rushing toward Zhang Dingbian.

"Sir, be careful..." Han Shixun's eyes were sharp-eyed. When he saw a boat coming from the lake, his eyes never left. He saw the man at the bow and arrows, shooting arrows, and doing it in one go. The whole movement was astonishing as he was about to shout, but he was helpless, it was too late.

"ah……?"

A cloud of blood fog aroused by his right arm. Zhang Dingbian was startled, slashed and jumped away. He turned his head and looked at the man staring at the ship, shouting: "Chang Yuchun!"

Chang Yuchun had no expression on his face. With everyone's surprised expression, he bent his bow and arrow again, and the target was locked at Zhang Dingbian.

"Sir... I will stay in the mountains without worrying about burning firewood. There are many soldiers and generals in the enemy. It is difficult for us to take action. Please retreat quickly!" As soon as the situation was not good, Han Shixun rushed over first, pulled Zhang Dingbian and retreated quickly to the dragon boat.

"Quick! Quick... Retreat... Retreat... Retreat... "Forcibly pulled Zhang Ding to get on the dragon boat, and Han Shixun impatiently commanded the soldiers of the dragon boat to start the dragon boat.

The wind whistled on the lake, and the dragon boat quickly started along the wind direction.

"Why are you still standing there? Why don't you kill me..." Seeing the dragon boat start, Chang Yuchun shouted, and the surprised soldiers woke up just now. They hurriedly bent their bows and arrows. With a command, dense feather arrows flew into the night sky and fell into the dragon boat. A few times, the Han army, who had been prepared at the stern of the dragon boat, raised their shields, and the feather arrows shot hit the shields and fell into the lake.

Zhu Jun chased after dozens of miles, but the speed of the fishing boat could not catch up with the speed of the dragon boat. After chasing for a while, he could only watch Zhang Dingbian disappear into the night.

After repeated fright, Zhu Yuanzhang was already a little numb. It was not until Zhang Dingbian's dragon boat completely disappeared from the lake, Chang Yuchun's army and Xiao Yun's soldiers were all surrounded by him. He came back from the horror just now, and looked at Xiao Yun and murmured: "Brother Xiao, are you all gone?"

Xiao Yun inserted the Moon-Slaying Knife into the scabbard, laughed and said, "Let's go, go!"

Today's thrilling scene really scared Zhu Yuanzhang. It was not until Zhang Dingbian's dragon boat completely disappeared from the lake that Zhu Yuanzhang gritted his teeth, turned around suddenly, walked quickly to the dragon boat, waved his hand, and shouted loudly: "Civil officials and generals, go back to prepare for war, Brother Chang, Brother Xiao, Brother Xu, and Brother Deng will return to the camp to discuss matters with me!"

"Yes!" Everyone clasped their fists and looked at each other. Xiao Yun muttered: "Is this going to be serious?"

In the temporary general's mansion of Kangshan, Zhu Yuanzhang sat upright on the general's seat, but his eyes looked at the topographic map of the military advisors in the Poyang Lake area placed on the general's desk. After a while, he said: "Poyang Lake stretches for hundreds of miles, with a wide lake surface and a deep water siege. It is the place where the army dragon ships play their advantages. With today's battle, it will not take long for Chen Youliang to lead the attack personally. This battle is inevitable. Originally, I thought that leading all the soldiers to fight would have the possibility of victory? But in today's battle, I realized that the enemy's strength is much stronger than I imagined. It is impossible to fight hard battles? Now I am most worried about it. Chen Youliang's army is coming to attack. How should I fight?"

After Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, his eyes swept at the people sitting, his eyes full of inquisitiveness.

Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, Guo Xing, who had already been unable to help, stood up and said loudly: "Although Chen Youliang is powerful, he is especially powerful in Poyang Lake, using dragon boats, like fish in water, and coming and going freely. However, Chen Youliang worked hard on the expedition and the soldiers were tired; the defeated soldiers were depressed in a row. If they had good plans and used them properly, they might be able to follow the effect of Zhou Lang breaking the Red Cliff and solve Chen Youliang in one fell swoop! Moreover, Poyang Lake is surrounded by mountains, and its shape is like a huge treasure gourd tied to the belt of the Yangtze River, but there is only a single exit outside Shizhong Mountain, so the lord can use it!"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded thoughtfully. Guo Xing said again: "After following the general, he often read history books at night. From the pre-Qin to the end of the Han Dynasty, it was not until recently when Zhou Lang's Battle of the Red Cliff in the Three Kingdoms, that he realized that Chen Youliang's army of 600,000 and his dragon ships were tall and mighty. Isn't it that Cao Cao of that year?"

Everyone didn't think so at first, but now they really feel a little like him when they mentioned it. Many people started to nod.

Seeing everyone nodding, Guo Xing couldn't help but feel very excited, and hurriedly said, "So he followed Zhou Lang's trick back then and had some ideas. But he didn't read much and didn't know if what he was thinking was useful to the coach."

Zhu Yuanzhang's heart moved, and his eyes were squinting slightly and said, "General Guo doesn't have to worry. If there is a way to discuss matters in front of the army, just keep your words alone. As for whether to use it or not, is it my general's business? Don't you have to be taboo?"

Guo Xing then clasped his fists and said, "Then will the general speak out without any hesitation?" He took a breath, pondered for a moment, and said, "In the 13th year of Jian'an (208), Cao Cao kept Cao Ren in garrison in Jiangling, and personally led an army of 800,000 to the east. However, in the battle of Chibi, Zhou Lang destroyed Cao Cao's 800,000 troops in a blink of an eye and created a situation of three divisions of the world. He was as talented as Cao Cao, but he still defeated Chibi. Is the number of troops not as large as Zhou Lang? Otherwise, they were just Zhou Lang used Cao Lang's plan to burn the Red Cliff, and they were burned away. They were defeated by Cao Lang's great defeat. In the end, they were definitely defeated by a fire. In the end, the general also carefully observed the Han army and found that the Han army was huge, just like Cao's army in the past. The lord could learn from Zhou Lang's plan to burn the Red Cliff, and he would definitely get rid of Chen Youliang in one fell swoop!"
