Chapter 168: Poyang Lake Defeated! [Ask for a monthly pass, ask for a reward]
Especially at this moment, the front-line army of the Han army was still fighting on the city of Hongdu, so that the entire Han army on land could not be connected before and after.
In the face of such a scene, no one dared to really rush up to resist.
The entire Han army, under the charge of the army under the command of Zhu Yuanzhang, was defeated in one blow.
They fled in a panic towards the rear.
Chen Youliang, who was in the military array, saw this scene, although he was extremely reluctant in his heart, he had to shout loudly to his side: "Withdraw the army!" Order to withdraw!! ”
The call to withdraw spread throughout the army.
The entire Han army instantly dispersed and fled towards the warships by the river.
The gate of Hongdu City.
Zhu Yuanzhang took the lead, and slowly rode the horse under his crotch into Hongdu City, accompanied by the guards around him.
Everywhere they passed, they were in shambles.
The corpses were scattered all over the place, with little room for their feet.
Zhu Yuanzhang slowly rolled over from the horse.
Walk with the people around you towards the city gate.
But when I turned a corner and walked into the steps of the city gate tower, I saw dense corpses of soldiers.
There are Han troops, and there are Hongdu defenders.
Corpses on top of bodies, people on top of people.
Blood stained the entire staircase bright red.
Looking at this scene, Zhu Yuanzhang slipped through the space by the wall with a solemn expression and came upward.
Behind him, Xu Datang and Chang Yuchun, Li Shanchang and Liu Bowen followed closely.
Ascend the tower.
There were more corpses on the castle towers.
But there are very few people alive.
Seeing the soldiers who were transporting the corpses below walking past him, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly stopped them and said, "Stop, put the corpses down." ”
Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, everyone stopped moving.
And Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Order! ”
Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, a herald behind him instantly walked up: "Here!" ”
"All the officers above the thousand generals have gone to the city, come here, come immediately!"
The herald said, "Yes! ”
At this moment, Zhu Wenzheng on the flagpole was also personally carried by Deng Yu and a deputy general.
Looking at his miserable appearance now, Zhu Yuanzhang and the generals behind him were all moved.
Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Wenzheng immediately said: "Handsome." ”
Facing Zhu Wenzheng, Zhu Yuanzhang walked over slowly, stood in front of him, and said expressionlessly: "Where is the grain and grass?" ”
Zhu Wenzheng said: "It's all there." ”
Zhu Yuanzhang patted Zhu Wenzheng's shoulder and said with emotion: "Good nephew, really our good nephew." ”
Deng Yu on the side also said: "General Zhu's two legs are all broken!" ”
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "We have seen it a long time ago, tied yourself to the flagpole, are you crazy?" Well? You're crazier than we are. ”
Facing Zhu Yuanzhang's words like a reprimand, Zhu Wenzheng understood that Zhu Yuanzhang was praising him.
There were blood stains at the corners of his mouth, and he was a silly pleasure.
After speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang said to Deng Yu on the side: "Quick, go down and heal." ”
"Yes."
Soon.
All the officers of the army of more than 1,000 came to the city.
And under the city of the Hongdu City, there are densely packed hundreds of thousands of troops.
Zhu Yuanzhang, who saw this scene, slowly came to the city gate tower, looked at everyone present, and shouted: "Brothers! Take a good look at this battlefield, look at these dead brothers, half of them are soldiers, half of them are the people of Hongdu. We commanded them to hold on here for a hundred days, but they held out for a hundred and four days! ”
"Thirty-eight thousand! actually blocked the repeated attacks of Chen Youliang's 600,000-strong army. Zhu Wenzheng's legs were broken, and he tied himself to the flagpole to fight with Chen Baldzi, an army of more than 600,000 people, but he didn't gnaw down Hongdu! ”
"Listen! Zhu Wenzheng has 38,000 people, can beat Chen Bald to the ground, we have 200,000 elite soldiers, what else can't we do?! ”
As he spoke, Zhu Yuanzhang instantly pulled out the long knife on his waist, held it above his head, and shouted to the soldiers and generals above and below the city: "We, we will win!! ”
With Zhu Yuanzhang's drawing of the knife, the generals on the entire city tower also drew their knives one after another and raised them above their heads.
Under the city, hundreds of thousands of soldiers also drew their swords and raised them above their heads, following Zhu Yuanzhang's words and shouting: "Victory!" ”
"Victory!"
"Victory!!"
“..........”
Zhu Wenzheng's 38,000 troops blocked Chen Youliang's army of more than 600,000 people, who were described as gods and ghosts, for more than 100 days, making them pay such a big price.
As Zhu Yuanzhang said, they have 200,000 people, what else is there to fear.
At this moment, the military spirit of all the soldiers swelled to the top!
Soaring into the sky.
The shocking roar permeated the entire Hongdu City, and it spread in all directions.
At this moment, Qi Heng and Chen Du beside him were walking on the periphery of the army, looking at the scene in front of him, with a smile on his face.
said to Chen Du beside him: "See, this is our handsome." ”
While laughing, Qi Heng and Chen Du walked towards the river.
Compared with Zhu Yuanzhang, who is seizing the opportunity to improve the morale of the army at this moment, Qi Heng seems to be deliberately distancing.
Riverside.
Chen Youliang's warship.
Bursts of cries rang out from the warship.
A general frowned when he heard this, and asked the soldiers beside him, "Who is howling here?" ”
The soldier hurriedly made a silent gesture and said, "It's the emperor." ”
"Your Majesty?"
The soldier said, "Yes, I was so frightened that I shrank back when I first went to the service. ”
"Juntai, this emperor has lost his temper, crying loudly inside."
But the general snorted coldly: "Hmph, you deserve it." ”
"Isn't it too late for him to cry now?"
Inside the Dragon Ledger.
Chen Youliang sat paralyzed on the ground, crying with a sad face: "Son, for decades, my father has never suffered such a big loss." ”
The crown prince Chen Shan on the side hurriedly handed over the towel and said, "Father, the soldiers are outside, and morale is important." ”
Chen Youliang said: "Dad lost his temper. ”
But there was not a tear on the face covered by the towel.
But Chen Shan was young, and hurriedly persuaded him: "Father, when you first started the incident, there were only eight or nine people, didn't you also conquer half of the world?" You said that victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, Hongdu is only the first battle, most of our troops are still there, as long as the father and emperor regain their might, there is no big deal. ”
In the face of Chen Shan's words, Chen Youliang also slowly stopped crying and said: "Shan'er, although the words are right, but the defeat of Hongdu is not trivial, I told my generals when the war first started, the first battle is a decisive battle, and the first battle is decided." ”
"Now that the first battle has been defeated, it has greatly damaged the morale of the army!"
As he spoke, Chen Youliang slapped the ground twice.
And Chen Shan, who was on the side, also said: "When attacking Hongdu, at least four or five times the city has been broken, why can't it be taken, Erchen is really puzzled." ”
Chen Youliang, who heard this, was also extremely sad.
The battle of Hongdu is not trivial, if it can come down, it can be said that half of the battle against Zhu Yuanzhang has been won.
But now, he was only a little short of breaking the city, and said angrily: "The soldiers are afraid of death and war!" At the critical moment, I couldn't rush up! This battle not only delayed me for more than 100 days, but also lost more than 100,000 of my infantry. I looked like I was about to take it today, but Zhu Yuanzhang led the army to arrive, making me fall short. ”
"Okay now, we have to fight Zhu Yuanzhang directly, our soldiers are sleepy and tired, and he is a new force that has just arrived!"
Hearing this, Chen Shan couldn't help but say: "Father, why don't we temporarily retire from the army, return to Hanyang, rest for a few months, and then go east again." ”
But Chen Youliang said firmly: "No! ”
"Absolutely not! Class teacher, hehe, it sounds good, that's a dead end! ”
Chen Shan was puzzled: "Why? ”
Chen Youliang said: "Your father and I have been fighting in the knife mountain for more than ten years, and we have learned an important lesson, you can't blink an eye at the moment of life and death, not to mention retreating, taking a step back, it is a series of defeats, that is, people's hearts are in chaos, it is a defeat!" ”
"Shan'er, remember, at the critical moment of life and death, retreat is a dead end, advance, and survive!"
Seeing that Chen Youliang was so determined, Chen Shan immediately said: "Erchen has an idea!" ”
"Say."
Chen Shandao: "The most important thing at present is to boost the morale of the army, ask my father to convene a swearing-in meeting, start killing, and behead a group of soldiers who are unfavorable in attacking the city before the battle, so as to stimulate morale!" ”
But after hearing this, Chen Youliang just shook his head and smiled: "It's good to boost the morale of the army, but now you can't kill the generals anymore." ”
Chen Shan was puzzled: "Father, didn't you behead a few brothers before you set out on the expedition?" The generals were excited, and the morale of the army was shaken! ”
Chen Youliang said helplessly: "That's different, at that time, your father was on the peak, everyone was in awe, how I cut them, the more powerful I beheaded, the higher the prestige." But now it's different, if you cut off the generals again, it will definitely provoke a mutiny. ”
Chen Shan hurriedly touted: "Father Emperor is right, Father Emperor Shengming!" ”
But Chen Youliang continued indifferently: "So at this time, the things of the general Liwei can't be done, and if it does, maybe whoever will cut off whom's head." ”
Chen Shan really didn't think about this.
His face was a little flustered for a while, he really didn't think that the current situation had reached this point, and before today, they were still the emperor and the crown prince: "Then father, what should we do now?" ”
Facing Chen Shan's panic, Chen Youliang smiled instead: "What are you panicking about? Your father and I now know what to expect. ”
"Instead of killing them, I'm going to reuse them!"
When he said this, there was still a trace of grief on Chen Youliang's face when he just cried.
A moment later.
Outside Chen Youliang's tent.
The herald shouted loudly: "The emperor has an order!" ”
"With all the generals, the general manager, and the general flag, listen to the order in the tent!"
As the herald's shouts fell, one by one the generals walked towards the tent.
But at the same time as entering, all the swords on his body were confiscated.
Inside the tent.
After many generals walked in, they automatically came to Chen Youliang and shouted to Chen Youliang on the stage: "Meet the emperor!" ”
Chen Youliang sat on the dragon chair, looked at the generals below with a smile, and said, "It's all here." ”
After speaking, as the generals stood on both sides.
Chen Youliang asked with a smile again: "Tell me, is this battle of Hongdu won or lost?" ”
After Chen Youliang's previous deeds of killing the generals in front of the battle, everyone in the camp was frightened one by one at this time.
Moreover, before they came, they had expected that Chen Youliang would mention this matter today, and their heads suddenly lowered.
But Chen Youliang was wearing a dragon robe, and said with a smile on his face: "It's okay, let's talk about it." ”
But no one in the audience dared to speak at this time.
Seeing this, Chen Youliang had no choice but to speak by himself: "Let me say, we didn't win, but we didn't lose either!" We had a draw with Zhu Yuanzhang. ”
Hearing Chen Youliang's words, everyone present was shocked.
Chen Youliang's words don't seem like a joke, nor do they seem to be saying the opposite.
For a while, I was a little unsure of what Chen Youliang meant.
After all, if Chen Youliang is not joking, he is setting the tone.
That is, they are not gathered together today to condemn their sins.
Just when everyone was confused.
Chen Youliang continued to smile and said, "Why do you say that? ”
"We were originally going to have a decisive battle with Zhu Yuanzhang in Jinling, that was his territory, and every grass and tree was beneficial to Zhu and not to me, but now, we mobilized Zhu Yuanzhang and let him go thousands of miles against the river to this vast Poyang Lake."
Speaking of this, Chen Youliang seemed to be unable to control the joy in his heart, and directly stood up and said to everyone: "Here, this is our decisive battle in the true sense, and here, it is also my long-brewing plan to annihilate the enemy!" ”
Listening to Chen Youliang's words, many of the generals below were a little surprised.
Seeing that Chen Youliang said so calmly, it really seemed that everything was going according to his plan.
At this time, Chen Youliang slowly sat back on the dragon chair, held his body high and said to a general below: "General Wu Qi." ”
"You just went to Waijiang to investigate, tell your brothers what you see."
At this time, Wu Zongqi immediately said: "Yes! ”
After speaking, he turned to look at the generals below and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, the last general saw with his own eyes that the warships led by Zhu Yuanzhang were all built in a hurry. Although some of them are on par with our warships, there are not many of them, and most of them are the largest gadgets that are no more than eight feet. ”
"Compared with the emperor's giant ship, it is like a toilet lid, vulnerable."
As Wu Zongqi's words were finished, a burst of laughter suddenly sounded in the audience.
Looking at this scene, it is the result that Chen Youliang wants.
He looked at the people below with a smile and said with a smile, "Did you hear it?" Poyang Lake will become a big paddock! We want to shoot Zhu Yuanzhang's warships like a bow and shoot geese! ”
"Brothers, can you give it a go?"
"Huh? Kill him! ”
With Chen Youliang's deliberate transfer, the originally dull atmosphere in the field changed instantly.
The generals burst out laughing one by one.
At this time, Chen Youliang suddenly said to another general below: "General Song." ”
A person suddenly walked out of the queue on the left and shouted to Chen Youliang on the stage: "The last general." ”
"Come forward."
Listening to Chen Youliang's words, this Song general couldn't help but feel chills in his heart.
His previous performance in the siege battle, he knew it in his own heart.
Even before he came today, he was afraid that Chen Youliang would hold him accountable, and while walking towards Chen Youliang for a while, his arched hands couldn't stop trembling.
And Chen Youliang, who was on the stage, watched the other party walking towards him, and said slowly: "In this siege battle, you took the lead bravely, moved forward, and broke the enemy army many times. ”
"I, worship you as the generalissimo of the expedition to the west, a scholar of Jin Wuyingge, the marquis of Hanyang, a reward of 10,000 taels of silver, and 3,000 hectares of fertile land."
Hearing this, General Song, really didn't expect that Chen Youliang not only did not pursue him, but also rewarded him heavily.
Especially when I saw the edict in my hand with my own eyes, I finally believed all this.
Immediately knelt down to Chen Youliang and bowed, "Thank you, Emperor!" ”
At this moment, he was immersed in ecstasy, and he didn't think about what Hanyang was.
Is it a place where you can be a marquis at will?
But just as he retreated and returned to the ranks, Chen Youliang continued: "General Wu. ”
Hearing Chen Youliang's words, General Wu, who had seen Chen Youliang's reward with his own eyes, immediately said with ecstasy: "The last general!" ”
Chen Youliang said: "In this siege battle, you fought alone, slashing the stubborn enemy, although you were seriously wounded, you can fight to the death without retreating, I remember it vividly, listen to the order!" ”
"I, worship you as the generalissimo of Dingxi, Jin Shaofu Shaobao, reward 5,000 taels of silver, and 1,000 hectares of fertile land."
Looking at the edict in front of him, General Wu suddenly shouted gratefully: "Even if the last general is broken bones, he will repay the emperor's grace!" ”
And Chen Youliang got up directly and said to everyone: "Today's celebration banquet is held, and all the brothers above the thousand presidents are here to participate. ”
After speaking, he said to his son Chen Shan beside him: "Chen Shan, send an order to the inner mansion to bring all the delicacies and wines on the ship, I want to have a good stomach with all the brothers, and get drunk!" ”
As Chen Youliang finished speaking, although the generals below were not rewarded, they were not held accountable, and they immediately shouted happily one by one: "Thank you, Emperor!" ”
Hongdu City.
Inside an ordinary farmyard.
Because when Zhu Wen was defending the city, he took all the houses and used them for defending the city.
It's not easy to find a complete house in the city these days.
At this time, in the agricultural courtyard, Zhu Yuanzhang, Xu Da, Li Shanchang and other brothers all gathered together.
We are deliberating on what to do next.
At this moment, Na Xu Da was telling the information he had learned.
"Chen Youliang has entered all the ships into Poyang Lake, what is their intention? It was clear that they were trying to drag us into the lake to fight them. Because the lake is far wider than the river, it is in favor of their giant ships. ”
At this time, Liu Bowen immediately said: "What Xu Shuai said is very true, I also went to the lake to take a look, Chen Youliang's giant ships are connected to each other, lined up into a castle on the water, once the war starts, they can be condescending." Although there are some warships that compare with them, they are few in number, and most of them are small and nimble ships. ”
Speaking of this, Liu Bowen chuckled: "However, they also have weaknesses in such a formation, that is, they are dull and sluggish, inconvenient to move, and the outermost ship blocks the innermost ship. ”
Listening to Liu Bowen's words, Xu Da also said in surprise: "Yes, this last one, we really didn't expect it." ”
At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was sitting on a chair and listening, also spoke.
"To be honest, if this battle can completely solve Chen Youliang, it will be the best. Otherwise, if his class returns to Hanyang, then we will have to wait until next year or the year after to fight him again. That's really a fight, so let's say, Chen Youliang is now in Poyang Lake, and we couldn't be happier. ”
Speaking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang also picked up the bowl on the table and said: "As long as we seal the mouth of the lake for him, he won't be able to enter the Yangtze River, and if he can't enter the Yangtze River, he won't be able to run away." ”
When everyone heard this, they all nodded in agreement.
And Chang Yuchun, who was on the side, also said at this time: "Poyang, there are two exits, one is the Jingjiang estuary in the north, and the other is the Nanhukou in the south. Chen Youliang's infantry has collapsed now, if the sailor goes ashore to fight us, hehe, I'm really embarrassed to say it, all the sweat and blood horses are all here, and he doesn't even have war horses now. ”
Listening to Chang Yuchun's confident words, Zhu Yuanzhang hurriedly interrupted him and said, "Okay, okay." ”
After speaking, he said: "Then now the task of blocking the mouth of the lake, we will hand it over to Chang Yuchun." ”
And after Chang Yuchun now got the benefits of sweat and blood, it was the time to be happy, and he immediately took this errand down.
After finishing speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang also said proudly: "Actually, we still have hundreds of thousands of troops that are useless." ”
Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, everyone was stunned.
Just when everyone looked at Zhu Yuanzhang suspiciously, he said slowly: "That's time!" ”
"Now the time has come to our side, hehe, this time is worth hundreds of thousands of troops!"
"This Chen Youliang only brought a hundred days of military rations on this trip, and I think he is about to run out of food now, so the more time is pushed back, the more the military strength of the Han army will decrease, and the more chaotic the army's morale will be!"
Listening to Zhu Yuanzhang's analysis, everyone nodded in agreement again.
And Zhu Yuanzhang did not hesitate, and said directly: "Listen to the order!" ”
"The overall strategy, the decisive battle of Poyang Lake. In this battle, Chen Youliang must be completely resolved! Whoever has objections, speaks. ”
Look at me, look at you, and not one of them speaks.
Seeing this, Zhu Yuanzhang said directly: "Xu Datanghe, you lead the battalions of the naval division to fight a decisive battle with the enemy, you must pay attention, each ship must distribute firearms and bows and crossbows according to the level, when the enemy is close, first fire firearms, and then send bows and crossbows. Those who capture the enemy's big ship will be rewarded! ”
However, after saying this, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately looked at everyone's eyes and said fiercely: "If anyone dares to retreat from the battle and dare not board the enemy ship, no matter who it is, there will be no mercy!" ”
When the generals heard this, they immediately bowed their hands and said, "Obey!" ”
However, after looking at the generals around him, Zhu Yuanzhang asked, "What about Jun Tao?" ”
Everyone looked left and right and shook their heads.
Seeing this, Xu Da asked, "Big brother, why don't I go and call the general over?" ”
Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a while and said, "No need, go do your thing." ”
"Yes!"
In the blink of an eye, it was more than a month.
As the army led by Chang Yuchun gathered at the mouth of the Jingjiang River and the two entrances to and from Poyang Lake, the entire army of Chen Youliang was like a trapped beast, and could only shrink in the Poyang Lake.
Zhu Yuanzhang, who was originally on his side at the time, and had sufficient armaments, food and grass, was not going to war easily.
But after lasting for more than a month, Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to feel that the time of being sleepy was enough, and the consumption was enough.
He began to order the army to fight a big battle with Chen Youliang's sailors.
In this battle, the two sides gathered more than 1,000 warships, which was the largest water battle in the entire history of China.
In this battle, Xu Da, as the marshal of the whole army, drove at the forefront, and he rode on the Taishan No. 2 built by Qi Heng at the beginning.
The whole body of the Tarzan cast in steel, as its name suggests, is as stable as Mount Tai on the surface of this lake.
As the former army commander, Xu Da did not have the slightest fear, but as the main general, he took the lead and shouted to the soldiers around him: "Rush!" Smash their ships for me!! ”
"Yes!"
The Tarzan, powered by steam, travels faster and faster as it travels farther and farther.
In the face of enemy ships connected to ships, it is like a fortress on the sea, but there is no timidity.
Like a giant beast in the river, gnaw at each other!
Around the Tarzan, there were the rest of the warships.
The same plan as the usual training, he rushed towards the opponent's warship without fear of death.
However, at the same time as he was about to hit the other party, Xu Da suddenly shouted: "The whole team turns right!" Artillery team! Fire! ”
Because the guns of the battleships were on the left and right, the entire fleet had to act in unison, otherwise it would cause its own queue to be out of order.
Therefore, in order to cooperate with the entire fleet, it is also to implement Zhu Yuanzhang's strategy of defeating the enemy.
The Tarzan, which had the ability to fire directly ahead, also performed a right turn like other warships, revealing the battery on the right side in front of the opponent.
Bang bang bang!
Bang bang bang!
Fierce artillery, began to fire at long distances.
At the same time, Chen Youliang's warships also began to shell Xu Da's fleet.
As the backbone of Xu Da's main attack team, almost all the steam warships manufactured by Qi Heng Anfeng Road were concentrated around Xu Da's army.
And those warships that Li Shanchang and the warships supervised and modified by various places were on the two wings.
As the battle progressed, the two sides grew closer.
The crossbowmen also began to shoot.
The bows and crossbows of both sides shot at each other, and while there were countless casualties, the distance was gradually narrowing.
It wasn't until they reached a relatively close distance that the soldiers took out their grappling hooks and threw them at the opposing ship.
At the same time, he vigorously brought his own ship closer to the opponent's ship.
In order to achieve the purpose of landing operations.
At this moment, the handsome ship in the rear of the Chinese army.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the situation on the lake and frowned.
"This Chen Youliang's ship cannon is indeed more powerful than ours."
Especially when he saw that the warships on both wings had been defeated by Chen Youliang's warships in the situation, he frowned even more.
However, the adjutant general on the side was persuading: "Dashuai, our main forces are concentrated in the Chinese army, and now the situation is invincible is what we have long expected, as long as Xu Shuai can successfully break through the enemy's defense line, we can still win." ”
Zhu Yuanzhang listened to this and nodded.
He didn't know that.
Among the former troops, the Taishan No. 2 led by Xu Da had already collided with the enemy warship, and the Taishan was huge and sturdy, because of its extremely fast speed, carrying a strong collision force.
In just an instant, he filled the opponent's wooden ship with a big hole.
A whole river dragon and a whole boatload of soldiers were defeated in an instant.
However, with the advantage they achieved in the first place, the collision advantage formed in the first place is gone.
And, as the warships kept getting closer, the soldiers began to fight at close range.
The superiority of the entire Chinese army was completely lost.
The battleships on both wings did not have the slightest advantage, and now as the landing battle began, they found that their ships could not reach the height of the opponent's battleships.
If you want to land and fight, you also need to climb through rope ladders.
Coupled with the shaking of the lake, the difficulty of this landing operation was even more difficult than the siege.
On the other hand, the soldiers on the opponent's ship can shoot at the soldiers below with bows and arrows, as simple as practicing archery.
In a short period of time, the left and right flanks of the entire army were completely defeated.
Countless soldiers jumped into the lake to survive.
But they fell into the lake, and they became more and more targets for archers.
In today's situation, we can only pray that the Chinese army can open up the situation.
However, with the initial advantage gained in battle, when Chen Youliang's army conducted a close landing battle against the Chinese army.
Because most of the sailors led by Chen Youliang are familiar with water warfare, they are accustomed to fighting in the rivers and lakes all year round, and for a while, even the Chinese army showed defeat.
Although Xu Da's Taishan took the lead, it rushed into the depths of the enemy.
However, with the power of the ballistas on the deck, no one could get close to the deck of the Tarzan.
In times of crisis, the firing of ballistas can turn the tide of battle.
However, no matter how many arrows a ballista can have, there is a limit.
Seeing such a situation, and the situation of falling into a fiasco all around, Xu Da knew that he couldn't go on like this.
At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang in the rear had already taken the lead in sounding the horn of withdrawal against them when he observed the rout of the front army.
Seeing this scene, Xu Da didn't dare to delay any longer.
He knew very well that if he delayed any longer, all of their warships would fall into the hands of Chen Youliang.
Once these warships were gone, they completely lost the ability to attack Chen Youliang.
Thinking of this, Xu Da immediately shouted to the herald beside him: "Quick! Order, withdraw troops! ”
"Yes!!"
As Xu Da's general orders began to spread around, the sound of horns began to permeate the entire front army camp.
The entire front army also began a major withdrawal.
Those soldiers who had already been beaten were even more panicked.
The sound of steam sounded on the surface of the lake.
One warship after another also began to withdraw.
In the camp of the Han army, Chen Youliang, who saw this scene, laughed wildly with the prince Chen Shan beside him.
