Chapter Seventy-Four: Lost Luck
Faced with an absolute predicament, Zhu Yuanzhang had no idea at all.
But he will never throw in the towel easily.
In terms of the position against Chen Youliang, as the absolute leader of the Zhu family, even if he dies, he will never bow his head in front of Chen Youliang.
Soldiers can be killed, but not humiliated!
This is the most fundamental bottom line and dignity of being a soldier.
For Zhu Yuanzhang, the bottom line and dignity are nonsense, and the only thing he can do on the issue of Chen Youliang is: on Poyang Lake, fight to the death.
Looking around, when all the ministers were helpless, at the moment when all the civil ministers and generals were at a loss, a person stood up from the crowd.
He snorted in a low voice that was almost torn.
Attack with fire!
Set a fire and burn that bastard to death (I made this statement myself)!
The name of the person who said this is called: Guo Xing.
Name: Guo Xing;
Age: 33 years old;
Ethnicity: Han Chinese;
Nationality: Haozhou, Anhui Province;
Date of birth: 1330;
Died: 1383;
Title: Marquis of Gongchang;
Posthumously posthumously: Shaanxi Guogong;
Main achievements: The Battle of Poyang Lake.
Guo Xing is Zhu Yuanzhang's old subordinate, and he is also one of the twenty-four people brought out from Zhu Yuanzhang's self-reliance in Haozhou.
It can be said that since Zhu Yuanzhang joined the army, he has been following Zhu Yuanzhang and is Zhu Yuanzhang's real hardcore subordinate.
I think Guo Xing at this time may not be making suggestions to Zhu Yuanzhang, more like venting the depression and unhappiness in his heart, in the face of Chen Youliang's fierce attack by the second artillery, he should not have too good suggestions.
The suggestion to attack with fire may have been just an unintentional remark to vent his anger.
This is a bit like someone encountering a special problem that needs to be solved but don't know how to come out, at this time you happen to pass by, he told the whole thing again, you are angry than him when you hear it, and you come directly to a sentence: There is still this kind of scum in the world, fuck him, fuck him to death!
I think Zhu Yuanzhang's and Guo Xing feel a little bit like this now.
But many times it is just an unintentional sentence that may break a dilemma.
Just like the virtual bamboo in the Eight Divisions of the Heavenly Dragon, a monk who doesn't understand what Go is at all and breaks the meat ring and then the color ring can finally break the Zhenlong chess game, but those masters who know the Go routines are deeply trapped in the routine and can't extricate themselves.
On the other hand, they all rely on the same thing, which is luck.
Or providence.
It is a fateful arrangement.
At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang, who had no idea at all, and Zhu Yuanzhang, who had completely drilled into the tip of the horns and couldn't pull out his legs, also seemed to be inspired by Guo Xing's words.
yes, why can't you attack with fire?
That's really good advice.
Maybe you can really burn that bastard surnamed Chen to death with one fire!
A word wakes up the dreamer.
Guo Xing, who has always been inconspicuous in fighting and fighting, but often meets the spring and leads the troops but can't reach Xu Da, was valued by Zhu Yuanzhang for the first time.
Although I don't know if the fire attack can really work, Zhu Yuanzhang, who has no other way, should maintain the mentality of treating a dead horse as a live horse doctor in the face of fire attack.
Death is death, and instead of sitting and waiting for death, it is better to do it.
As the old saying goes: put it to death and then live.
His current predicament is not much different from his death.
Instead of sitting and waiting, it's better to fight.
If you fight well, you can not only survive, but also turn the tables if you don't do well.
Anyway, before I came to Poyang, I didn't think about going back alive at all, and now that it has reached this point, I can't back down.
Dry!
Fight!
The big deal is death!
Twenty years later, Ye is still a good man!
Twenty years later, the master will still fight with you Chen Youliang!
Under this mentality, Zhu Yuanzhang began the deployment of firepower to attack Chen Youliang.
He first found seven fishing boats, dismantled all the useless things on the boats, and then filled the boats with particularly flammable dry reeds.
If these things are placed now, they are completely flammable and explosive dangerous goods.
It is a red prohibited item that is absolutely not allowed to be consigned on board.
But there are no restrictions for Zhu Yuanzhang.
He doesn't care about these rules.
Here, the Lord is the sky, and the Lord is the rules.
Anyway, compared with Chen Youliang, his ideas are pediatrics.
To deal with Chen Youliang, a thug, you must use a more serious method.
Without some special means, it is impossible to subdue Chen Youliang!
Countering violence with violence.
Only this trick will be useful for Chen Youliang.
After doing this, Zhu Yuanzhang did not stop there.
He began to order some reeds to be tied up in human shapes, then put armor on these straw men, and forced weapons into the straw men, so that the grass men put on a fighting posture.
This should be done to confuse Chen Youliang.
Let Chen Youliang know that his boat is loaded with a boatload of people, not a boat that will explode at the slightest touch.
Then the seven fishing boats, which were completely equivalent to **, were handed over to a few dead men.
The history books do not say how many of these dead soldiers there were, but they simply passed by.
But I think there are only about two dozen at most, and the average number of people on each ship should be no more than three.
The staffing should be one positive for firing, one for assisting, and the other for reserves, i.e. backups.
If the positive point back is killed by the enemy, then the other two can take the place of the positive one to complete the job.
And unlike Xu Da who led his troops to break into the Han camp alone a few days ago, this time these dead soldiers are really soldiers who have killed themselves.
Compared with Xu Da, the risk coefficient and danger level of the work done by these people are several orders of magnitude higher, and they cannot be equal at all.
Their task is also much heavier than Xu Da's.
Not only do they need to light the cannon at one time, but they also have to safely send this warship, which is like a cannon battle, to the enemy camp without error, and the small life that is not done well in this must be played to the sky, which is difficult to imagine.
It can even be said that they are just going to die.
In this regard, Zhu Yuanzhang should be grateful to these people, because their actions are completely selfless dedication.
Up to now, these people are all first-class martyrs, and after they die, they must wear medals on their heads, cover their national flags, and everyone respects them in all directions.
Everything seems to have been prepared, but Zhu Yuanzhang has not sent troops for a long time.
Because he lacked one thing, one thing that would have been absolutely fatal to him.
He's waiting.
Wait for a signal.
This signal is called: East Wind!
Like attacking Cao Cao, Zhu Yuanzhang encountered the same problem as Zhou Yu.
Everything is ready, just a gust of wind.
A gust of east wind!
If this east wind does not blow, then all preparations will be in vain.
All the previous efforts were in vain.
And this cannon doesn't dare to be lit randomly, otherwise if the cannon is lit, it may not be Chen Jiajun who suffers, but himself.
Because of himself, Zhu Yuanzhang's camp is just east of Chen Youliang.
If this cannon is not lit well, it may not burn people to death, but may put yourself in it, and then it will really become playing with fire**.
Loss-making trading, absolutely nothing!
Ancient You: If you want to break Cao's soldiers, you should attack with fire. Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed.
Today, on the issue of Chen Youliang, this proverb has to be changed: If you want to break the Han soldiers, it is advisable to attack with fire, everything is ready, and only the east wind is owed.
When the Cao army was broken, Zhou Yu could let Zhuge Liang take advantage of the east wind to destroy the Cao army.
And now who can Zhu Yuanzhang rely on on the issue of Dongfeng?
He first turned his gaze to Guo Xing on the side, the idea of the fire attack was mentioned by you, you seem to be able to solve the problem of this gale, right?
Faced with this kind of problem, I estimate that Guo Xing's face is green.
Boss, this is completely my mouth, and I don't want you to take it seriously!
It's all my mouth, I owe it, I deserve to be unlucky!
As for the wind, big brother, I am a human, not a god, not an iron fan princess, and I can't conjure the wind out of thin air without a banana fan.
If I can conjure the wind out of thin air, then I won't have to mess with you.
If I had this ability, I would have called myself the king and worshiped the prime minister, would I still need to work for you?
Looking at Guo Xing, whose head was shaking like a rattle and blushing like a monkey's buttocks, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't ask, it was not easy for people to come up with the idea of attacking the Han camp, and he couldn't be too difficult for him, and he had to leave a little room for others.
Since we can't be him anymore, what should we do?
Yes, it's hard for others!
After Guo Xing didn't get a definite answer here, Zhu Yuanzhang turned his head and tried to find Liu Ji's figure, only to find that Liu Ji's original bloated figure and at this time faster than a rabbit had long since jumped to where he had gone!
At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang knew that this problem was not a problem that normal people could solve at all!
But if the problem of Dongfeng is not solved, it is absolutely impossible!
What to do?
Who else can be relied on in the matter of gales?
At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly thought of someone.
In Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, he is completely a god-like existence, to be precise, this person's identity is a crazy monk, if it is placed now, the exact symptom of this person should be neurosis, no, it is mental illness, it is a specific group of people who do not need to enter the bureau or use the number when they commit crimes, but they specialize in the special reception institution of the spiritual adoption center.
This person's name is: Zhou Dian.
He also has an identity that is well-known to our public: one of the five scattered people of Mingjiao (from Mr. Jin Yong's "Heaven and Dragon Slayer").
And Zhou Dian's political identity in Zhu Yuanzhang's camp is: fortune teller!
The main job is to tell Zhu Yuanzhang's fortune before every big war!
Calculate the good fortune and evil fortune of each expedition.
At this most dangerous moment, Zhu Yuanzhang also invited this great immortal out.
Zhu Yuanzhang pulled his cheeks, which were discordant at the top and asymmetrical at the bottom, like a pig's waist and more dead, and his face full of kindness and love was full of smiles, as if he was consulting more like pleading.
Pray that the east wind he has been waiting for will come soon.
"Do the immortals know when the east wind will come?"
Zhou Dian, who is immortal and bonely, is also unambiguous, and his crazy face is also full of smiles: "Okay, there is wind!" ”
The general meaning of this sentence should be to say: you go, if you go away, there will be wind, if you don't go, there will be no wind in this life!
I don't know how Zhu Yuanzhang believes that this is completely nonsense, or even more.
Anyway, after hearing this from Zhou Dian, Zhu Yuanzhang was no longer ambiguous, and Zhu Yuanzhang, who seemed to have 100% trust in Zhou Dian's words, issued a surprise attack on Chen Youliang.
That is, on the way to the operation of the dead man's boat, a miracle happened.
In the evening, night gradually fell, and the long-lost east wind arrived as scheduled.
In the face of the gradually increasing hurricane, Zhu Yuanzhang's discordant cheeks should be able to let out waves and laugh.
This fire is enough for him Chen Youliang to drink a pot, hehe!
