Lin Qi became a matchmaker, but he was not very happy in his heart, but when he saw the three hundred iron-billed pelicans, he became happy, and Hebo was also trustworthy, gave him an iron whistle, taught him how to drive the three hundred iron-billed pelicans, and called the pelican's head, bowed to Lin Qi three times, and recognized the master.

Hebo tried his best to keep Lin Qi and wait for the wine to drink before leaving, but Lin Qi said that he would not stay if he died, and bluntly said that there was something, Hebo sent him and Wuxiang to the other side of the Yellow River, Hebo treated Lin Qi like this, compared to the old moon and he ignored him a lot, Lin Qi was also unbearable, and said the matter of the red rope carefully, Hebo listened, was silent for a long time, and sighed: "This is fate, no one can escape, so it's okay, it's okay, it is finally the wish of the little girl, and the future will not last long, it is not something we can manage." ”

Lin Qi saw that he was gloomy, and he said that if he still needed his help when he was done, he would send a little ghost to find it, and he would definitely come, Hebo shook his head and smiled bitterly, and did not mention this matter more, the two talked for a while, Lin Qi took Wuxiang to say goodbye, Lin Qi got three hundred iron-billed pelicans, and he had confidence in his heart, and took Wuxiang over the mountains and mountains and returned to Yingtian.

When he went to Yingtian to find Zhu Yuanzhang, he saw Zhu Yuanzhang preparing for war with a sad face, Lin Qi asked in surprise, only to know that after he left, so many things had happened, after the victory in Longwan, Zhu Yuanzhang became famous and was named the Duke of Wu by King Xiaoming. Zhu Yuanzhang did not accept it when he saw it, and soon occupied Anqing, an important place in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River. Anqing was originally Chen Youliang's brave general Zhao Pusheng insisted on, because this person was booby-trapped by Chen Youliang, the generals were resentful, Zhao Pusheng's subordinate Zhang Zhixiong surrendered to Zhu Yuanzhang, told the details of Anqing's city defense, and took Zhu Yuanzhang's army to conquer Anqing in one fell swoop. But soon, Chen Youliang's general Zhang Dingbian led the army to raid and recaptured Anqing.

Zhu Yuanzhang felt that the heat was about the same, and decided to personally recruit Chen Youliang. He personally rode a huge ship and led his own naval division to attack Anqing. Anqing City is strong, and it can't be attacked. Liu Jijin said that he wanted Zhu Yuanzhang to give up Anqing and directly attack Chen Youliang's Laowo Jiangzhou. Zhu Yuanzhang followed it and immediately led his troops westward.

When passing through Xiaogushan, Chen Youliang's generals Fu Youde and Ding Pulang took the initiative to lead their troops to surrender. Zhu Yuanzhang was overjoyed when he heard Fu Youde's brave name, and immediately promoted him to a general and sent him to Jiangxi to recruit the counties to annex. Due to Zhu Yuanzhang's quick action, Chen Youliang had no idea that the other party had come to Jiangzhou to attack.

Suddenly, Chen Youliang found that Zhu Yuanzhang's large fleet of sailors was densely packed on the river outside Jiangzhou City, which was really like a divine soldier descending from the sky. Chen Youliang couldn't form an army suddenly, so he had to flee to Hongdu with his wife. The old base area, which had been painstakingly operated for several years, was once occupied by Zhu Yuanzhang.

The army took advantage of the victory and conquered Qizhou, Huangzhou, Xingguo, Huangmei, Guangji and other places. Not only that, but under the pressure of the situation, Hu Tingrui, who was guarding Hongdu for Chen Youliang, saw the wind and sent someone to ask Zhu Yuanzhang to surrender. Without wasting his efforts, Hongdu entered the territory again. Although there were some repetitions later, Hongdu was still firmly in the hands of Zhu Yuanzhang.

At this moment, Chen Youliang and Zhu Yuanzhang lost their positions. Zhu Yuanzhang was aggressive, Chen Youliang frequently parried, and the territory was clumsy. Under the resentment, Chen Youliang reorganized the navy and ordered people to make thousands of huge ships, all of which were several zhang high, decorated with lacquer, with three houses up and down, and each floor could gallop horses, and put the horse fence in the middle. Under the building ship, "set up a board room as a shelter, put dozens of boats, and the upper and lower people do not hear each other", what is even more amazing is that Chen Youliang's huge ships are all wrapped in iron sheets, which is extremely solid. He entangled 600,000 soldiers and horses, carried all his family officials, came from the empty country, and rushed straight to Hongdu, preparing to take this important city first.

Chen Youliang was rash, and the army came out, but he went straight to Hongdu, wanting to capture the city. The general of Hongdu is Zhu Yuanzhang's nephew Zhu Wenzheng and his henchman Deng Yu. Zhu Wenzheng sent various generals and schools to guard the gates of Hongdu, and raised 2,000 elite soldiers to command and respond to each other.

Chen Youliang fell in love with the Fuzhou Gate, which seemed to be easy to attack, personally commanded the soldiers to attack, and stood on the ship to supervise the battle. It was the fierce general Deng Yu who guarded the Fuzhou gate. The Han soldiers were very well prepared, each holding a basket-shaped bamboo shield, the arrow and stone could not be injured, plus the threat of a huge wall machine, the city wall was destroyed more than 20 zhang at once, and the Han soldiers shouted and poured up. At the critical moment, a platoon of Deng Yu's defenders suddenly stood up from behind the wall, all holding firearms, and at the sound of gunfire, all the Han soldiers who rushed to the front row were knocked down. If it is an arrow crossbow, even if it is more powerful than a fire gun, it will not be able to scare the Han soldiers. Seeing the enemy holding a strange guy who breathed fire and smoke, the sound was deafening, and few Han soldiers had ever seen this thing.

After a wild bombardment, Chen Youliang's team killed several Han soldiers, and the remaining living people gritted their teeth and rushed to the edge of the city again. The soldiers defending the city have been fighting for the erection of wooden fences at the city gate and the collapse of the city wall, the Han soldiers rushed to attack, Zhu Wenzheng supervised the generals to fight to the death, with the help of the beggars led by She Ling, and fought and built, and the city wall that was destroyed was repaired again overnight.

In the fierce battle, several generals such as Li Jixian and Niu Hailong in Hongdu City were killed.

Seeing that the Fuzhou Gate was difficult to break, Chen Youliang supervised the army to attack the Xincheng Gate. Xue Xian, the fierce general defending the city, was even more unexpected, leading the sharp pawns to suddenly preemptively, and the defending troops opened the city gate and launched an attack on the Han army first. Chen Youliang was caught off guard, and his subordinate Pingzhang Liu Zhenzhao was beheaded, killing and wounding thousands of people, and retreated.

In a hurry, Chen Youliang repaired the attacking equipment, and wanted to break through the gate and attack the city from the Hongdu Water Pass. He gave the order to die, and the latter were beheaded, so the Han soldiers rushed to death.

Zhu Wenzheng sent soldiers armed with long lances to assassinate Han soldiers across the fence. The Han soldiers were prepared this time, several people hugged the tip of the lance, and pulled it back, and after seizing the lance, the Han soldiers launched a new round of onslaught, so that the Hongdu defenders were killed a lot in close combat. Zhu Wenzheng ordered the soldiers to put the tip of the long lance into the wrought iron fire bank to burn red, and then stick out of the fence to stab the enemy. The Han soldiers seized the lance, and for a time the skin was scorched and rotten, wailing all over the place, and Leng Qian's 3,000 monkey army was stubbornly defended, and they were not allowed to enter. Chen Youliang exhausted his attacking skills, but the city was prepared in all directions, and the Han army was seriously killed.

Seeing that Hongdu could not be captured, Chen Youliang divided his troops to trap Ji'an and Linjiang, and martyred several captured guards under the Hongdu city, but Zhu Wenzheng and others were unmoved. Chen Youliang was annoyed, and waved his troops to attack the two gates of Guanbu and Shibu, and Zhu Yuanzhang's brave general Zhao Desheng was killed in an ambush.

Zhu Wenzheng sent Zhang Ziming of a thousand households to Jiankang to report the emergency, and at the same time, he sent a soldier nicknamed "King of Sacrifice" out of the city to surrender, complaining that the commander in the city would surrender after a little delay. Chen Youliang had no plan, believed it to be true, and immediately slowed down his offensive. When it came to the agreed "surrender", the banner on the Hongdu City was new, and the sound of killing moved the sky. Chen You was extremely hateful, and ordered someone to tie up the "life-sacrificing king" who had surrendered to him in front of the city and break it up.

At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang was personally leading his troops to rescue King Xiao Ming and Liu Futong who were attacked by Zhang Shicheng in Anfeng. Zhang Shicheng did not intend to respond to each other with Chen Youliang to lure Zhu Yuanzhang, it was purely a whim. In the fierce battle, Liu Futong was killed, and Zhu Yuanzhang arrived and defeated Zhang Shicheng's general Lu Zhen and "saved" King Xiaoming. At this point, the "emperor" Han Lin'er became a thing in the hands of Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhang Ziming reported that Chen Youliang stormed Hongdu, Zhu Yuanzhang was startled and asked, "How is Chen Youliang's troops?" ”

Zhang Ziming replied: "Chen Youliang's army is very strong, but he died a lot in the siege. Now that the river is dry, it will soon be unfavorable for the giant boat to moor. His division has been out for a long time, and the rations of the soldiers will soon become a problem. If reinforcements arrive, they will attack inside and outside, and they will definitely break the enemy! ”

Zhu Yuanzhang pondered for a moment, Lin Qi asked him to wait, but he still made the mistake of rushing forward, now Chen Youliang is powerful, and he has not used the head of the head in his hand, the water monkey, presumably he is also thinking of fighting with him again, so he can only wait for Lin Qi to come back, so he said to Zhang Ziming: "You go back and tell Wenzheng, let him hold on for another month, and I will personally lead the troops to break the enemy!" ”

Zhang Ziming was killed. When he reached the mouth of the lake, he was caught by Chen Youliang's patrol.

Chen Youliang personally interrogated and said: "If you can lure me to surrender, not only will I not kill you, but you will be a high-ranking official and a good lord to choose." ”

Zhang Ziming pretended to agree.

The next day, the Han army escorted Zhang Ziming to the city of Hongdu, and the soldiers defending the city all looked down from the city.

Zhang Ziming stood still, raised his head and shouted: "The Lord ordered the princes to hold on, and the army will come soon!" ”

When Zhu Wenzheng and others heard this, they kept their will. In a fit of rage, Chen Youliang killed Zhang Ziming in front of the battle.

At this point, Chen Youliang surrounded Hongdu for 83 days, and although he killed Zhu Yuanzhang's 14 generals, he still failed to conquer the city.

Zhu Yuanzhang waited for Lin Qi to come to the left, and he didn't come to the right, so he could only transfer troops and send generals, and he ordered Xu Da and Chang Yuchun to return to the army in Luzhou, and collected a total of 200,000 water and land soldiers to conquer Hongdu with himself. After entering the mouth of the lake, Zhu Yuanzhang sent 10,000 troops to the mouth of the Jingjiang River, and sent another army to the mouth of the Nanhuzui, preparing to annihilate this old enemy in a battle.

At this time, Lin Qi returned to Yingtian, Zhu Yuanzhang was also relieved to see Lin Qi come back, although Lin Qi told him not to provoke Chen Youliang and wait for him to come back when he left, but at that time, he had to send an arrow, not to mention that Zhu Yuanzhang was small and blindly adhered to it, which was not good for him. But he didn't expect that Chen Youliang's counterattack momentum was so fierce, if it weren't for his nephew Zhu Wenzheng's command, the soldiers used their lives, and Leng Qian's 3,000 monkey army, and a group of beggars and disciples to help, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Lin Qi didn't understand these strategic things, and when he saw that it was the right time to come back, he put his mind at ease and said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "I finally came back in time, I didn't delay things, I already have a way to deal with Rentouao and water monkeys, there is still one thing left, the marshal will wait for two more days, and then send troops after I come back to fight a decisive battle with Chen Youliang." ”

Lin Qi said this thing, is the soul of the frog Jiao who was picked up by Chen Youliang and cramped, he just came back, he hasn't seen She Ling, and he doesn't know if the iron cone has been taken back, if not, he can only rely on the feather arrows left by Hou Yi left by Hebo to him, plus the soul of the frog, he will definitely be able to take Chen Youliang's surname, so he asked Zhu Yuanzhang to wait for two more days.

Zhu Yuanzhang groaned, these many days have passed, and it is nothing to insist on two days, nodding in agreement.
