Chapter 283: Investigation
Before the war, it is always necessary to explore the terrain, Zhu Yuanzhang is no exception, take Lin Qi and Liu Bowen to Kanglang Mountain to investigate, Kanglang Mountain is said to be a mountain, in fact, it is just an island in Poyang Lake, to the island, but see that the mountains here are open, the trees are caged, it is good to send troops, and it is good to hide, Zhu Yuanzhang is very happy, and then asked the locals to inquire, Liu Bowen misheard the name of the mountain, and said excitedly: "Bran grain mountain, bran grain mountain, pigs (Zhu) have bran to eat, people have grain to eat, survive here, can develop, seize the world and say that it is waiting, this day to help the country with treasure land!" ”
Zhu Yuanzhang also raised Liu Bowen's words, turned his head and asked Lin Qi: "Brother Lin, what do you think of this place?" ”
Lin Qi looked around, this place is lush with trees, hideous mountains and rocks, it is an excellent place to ambush three hundred iron-billed pelicans, and said: "I think Chen Youliang will not be the first to come out and the water monkey, it must be at a critical juncture, when the winner is decided, he will not move, let's not move, let the three hundred iron-billed pelicans and the grass-headed god hide here, there are enough water and grass, and it will be okay to say more time!" ”
Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile: "I often hear Brother Lin talk about the strangeness of the iron-billed pelican, but I don't have a chance to see it, so it's better to let your old brother also see it, and talk to others later." ”
This battle is a battle of life and death, Zhu Yuanzhang has never seen the miracle of the iron-billed pelican, but he heard Lin Qi say that he is not at ease about whether the iron-billed pelican can fight against the head of the people, he is cautious and cautious, it is also human nature, the so-called knowing oneself and knowing the other can not be taggling in a hundred battles, and he never dares to believe people's words, Lin Qi also understands, and said with a smile: "The prince wants to see, and he is called." ”
Lin Qi took out the iron whistle from his arms and blew a long sound, and after a while, there was a sound of breaking wind in the sky, Zhu Yuanzhang looked up in surprise, but saw three hundred iron-billed pelicans above his head, each with huge bodies, more than twice as big as ordinary pelicans, fluttering their wings and flying, even the sun was blocked.
What surprised him even more was that on the three hundred iron-billed pelicans, each riding a grass-headed god, sitting steadily, holding a coffin nail, rising and jumping, Lin Qi roared, and the three hundred grass-headed gods jumped down from the iron-billed pelican like a rain of arrows, swishing...... The sound was endless, and he saw that he was lined up behind Lin Qi, like a divine soldier descending from the sky.
Zhu Yuanzhang was overjoyed, and before he could speak, Lin Qi pointed to a huge pelican in the sky and shouted: "Go, disturb the river and show it to the Guogong!" As the words fell, the bodies of the three hundred iron-billed pelicans fell rapidly, with sharp beaks, long and huge, like sharp swords, falling from the nine heavens, boom, boom, boom...... It was as if there were hundreds of thunderbolts, and the lake seemed to be about to flip over.
With such a majesty, in addition to being shocked, Zhu Yuanzhang also had confidence in his heart, and said with a hearty smile: "What a strange bird, with the help of this divine object, why worry about the big thing?" My generation is a heroic son, get this chaff grain mountain, will be able to turn the danger into a disaster, tonight in the camp code, it is better to change to 'who is coming?' I'm for Kang Lang'".
Liu Bowen and Lin Qi both praised kindness, and Zhu Yuanzhang said in a deep voice: "The battle with Chen Youliang is here!" The next day, Zhu Yuanzhang took 200,000 troops and took more than 1,000 large and small warships to leave Yingtian and go up the river. All the warships were painted white, and from a distance, they looked like white clouds floating on the surface of the lake, which was spectacular.
The reason why the warship is painted white is because in the Wufang theory, the West is the white tiger, and the West is the god of punishment and killing, and the Lord is the autumn of killing, and often conquers the unrighteous and executes criminals in the autumn. Therefore, white is depleted and bloodless, symbolizing death and bad omen. Zhu Yuanzhang arranged it like this, with the determination to die, and to show the world with mourning soldiers, it also effectively imitated Xiang Yu's meaning of breaking the cauldron and sinking the boat.
Liao Yongzhong led more than 200 warships to the front, Zhu Yuanzhang, Xu Da, and Chang Yuchun led four or five hundred warships to follow behind Liao Yongzhong, on the left between Liao Yongzhong and Zhu Yuanzhang, Yu Tonghai's more than 200 warships, and on the right were Kang Maocai's more than 200 warships. Zhu Yuanzhang's idea was that after Liao Yongzhong received the enemy, Yu Tonghai and Kang Maocai immediately outflanked him from both sides, while Zhu Yuanzhang's main fleet acted according to the specific battle situation.
Lin Qi's strange army was also scattered and disrupted, Lin Qi and Yin Liheng, the tiger head, protected Zhu Yuanzhang in case of Chen Youliang's surprise attack, She Lingdang led the beggars to help the disciples to help Chang Yuchun, Leng Qian took the monkey army to help Xu Da, three hundred iron-billed pelicans were arranged by Lin Qi in Kanglang Mountain, as long as the iron whistle sounded, they could fly up to help the battle, Zhu Yuanzhang arranged it like this, and also thought that the more important the strange soldiers, in this kind of life-and-death decisive battle, the more they should be used later, so as to achieve the effect of "strange soldiers".
Moreover, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses on both sides gathered in Poyang Lake, and none of them could not distinguish the winner from the loser, and the battle in front was just a small-scale mutual test, and the real big war was still behind.
Poyang Lake was known as Peng Lize, Peng Ze or Peng Lake in ancient times, in the northern part of Jiangxi. The water of the Ganjiang River, Xiushui, Pojiang River, Xinjiang River and Fujiang River is integrated into the Yangtze River through the lake. The lake basin is formed by the collapse and siltation of the earth's surface. Shaped like a gourd, the smoke waves are vast, boundless, Zhu Yuanzhang's fleet is not far from Kanglang Mountain, and begins to move slowly.
At this time, Chen Youliang's army has been assembled on the south bank of Poyang Lake, on the dragon boat, the sentinel boat is like a ** flowing water to show the movement of Zhu Yuanzhang's navy, Chen Youliang saw that the warships were all over the sky, almost the entire lake was stuffed, and he couldn't help but be proud and said: "I grew up at the water's edge since I was a child, and I fought with my partners on fishing boats for fun when I was a child. ”
These words are not boasting, Chen Youliang's ancestors were fishermen of the previous generation, born on a boat and grew up on a boat, and the surname Shui never talked about him, but when it comes to the way of boats in the world, no one can catch up, plus there are rivers, lakes and seas are human heads and water monkeys, and the light wheel water battle can be said to be unparalleled in the world, it is precisely because of this that Chen Youliang is puzzled, why did Zhu Yuanzhang want to fight with him in the water? This time is different from last time, last time I accidentally fell into the plan, this time Chen Youliang learned a lesson, extra careful, no deception, no scheme, what I fight is strength, it is a water war.
Zhu Yuanzhang came to challenge from the waterway, isn't he looking for death?
Chen Youliang's words also have the meaning of saying to the following Wenchen generals, because the ministers have been unable to attack Hongdu for a long time, they are frustrated, and in this battle, the military heart is particularly important, Chen Youliang's words are out, and the military generals under his command are all in good spirits, secretly contrasting, on the strength of troops, Chen Youliang is 600,000, Zhu Yuanzhang is only 200,000, and Zhu Yuanzhang is obviously inferior to Chen Youliang. In terms of ships, the number of the two sides is almost the same, but half of Chen Youliang are giant warships, while most of Zhu Yuanzhang are small warships, so small that you can only see the enemy on the opposite ship when you look up. Even if Chen Youliang will pee down from the boat, he can be drenched on the heads of Zhu Yuanzhang's subordinates, not to mention the arrows, one is condescending, the other is condescending, the advantages and disadvantages can be imagined.
The reassuring pill Chen Youliang was given, and the one who didn't have long eyes dared not to eat it? Chen Youren, Chen Yougui and Zhang Dingbian...... A group of civil and military generals immediately knelt down and echoed Chen Youliang in unison: "Your Majesty is wise! My Han army is at its peak, and the warships are extremely powerful, and the soldiers use their lives, Zhu Yuanzhang came from the waterway, and it can only be a dead end! ”
Chen Youliang's crown prince Chen Shan'er said proudly to Chen Youliang: "Father, the mandate of heaven is in my Han, my Han army will win Zhu Chongba in this battle, according to the opinion of the sons, you don't want to go to the lake." Zhu Yuanzhang just has a few small broken boats, which can't withstand a burst of impact, as long as his father gives his sons 200 warships, I will lead the army and order, and I will capture Zhu Chongbaxian and his father's feet! If not, be willing to accept the punishment! ”
When the prince came out to speak, some sycophants immediately stepped on the top, and greeted him with Qi: "Long live Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Prince is a thousand years old, the soldiers use their lives, the destiny of heaven is mine, why should Zhu Yuanzhang not be destroyed?" Destiny is mine, long live Your Majesty......"
At first, it was just a few Wenchen making fun, and then the shouting became louder and louder, and the wind was whistling on the river, accompanied by the destiny of heaven in me! Long live Your Majesty's shout, resounding through the world, Chen Youliang closed his eyes, raised his head, and gently breathed the humid air on the river, he liked this feeling, liked the sound of being called long live, and liked this kind of domineering that reigned over the world and was the only one.
It's just that it's not time to enjoy it, only when Zhu Yuanzhang is killed, at that time is the real king of the world, Chen Youliang opened his eyes, waved his hand gently, his soldiers saw this, and they were not cheering, Chen Youliang looked at the son who was established as the prince of the Han Dynasty, and said with a smile: "Shan'er, you are the prince, today it is said that your father will teach you, only when everything is decided, you can underestimate the enemy, otherwise you will suffer a big loss, Zhu Chongba is not a good person to deal with, to say that the only one in the world who can compete with me is Zhu Chongba, who can also compete with Zhu Chongba, It's only me, this is the fate of both of us, and one of them is bound to become a stepping stone, I regard him as a big trouble, and I can only go out to fight him to the death in person! ”
The crown prince Chen Shan'er lowered his head and listened, and when he heard that Chen Youliang was going to fight Zhu Yuanzhang to the death, he clenched his fists and shouted: "The Mandate of Heaven is in Han, long live Your Majesty, the Mandate of Heaven is in Han, long live Your Majesty......" There was another tsunami.
Chen Youliang looked at the boundless warship, under the wind blowing by the river, he was righteous, stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction of Poyang Lake, and said loudly: "Pull out, all of you work hard!" ”
The huge fleet of ships was in good order, heading towards the north of Poyang Lake, and the Han warships were tall and sturdy, forming a long snake formation across the water surface of Poyang Lake. The westernmost is Chen Youren, the easternmost is Chen Yougui, the one who leans on Chen Youren is Zhang Dingbian, and next to Chen Yougui is the "prince" Shan'er. Chen Youliang sat on the dragon boat between Zhang Dingbian and Shan'er, with his youngest son Chen Li and a group of civil and military ministers and imperial concubines, in the middle of the strategy, from Chen Youren in the west to Chen Yougui in the east, Chen Youliang's huge fleet stretched boundlessly, magnificent.
The decisive battle is imminent!
