To the twenty-third year, the new estuary.

The river was full of boats, and it was like a small city, sailing at a rapid pace.

This is Zhu Yuanzhang's fleet, thousands of ships loaded with 200,000 troops, heading towards Hongdu, Zhu Wenzheng has held Hongdu for 85 days, has successfully completed his task, and then will be handed over to him as an uncle.

Yan Ling stood at the bow of the boat, enjoying the wind and waves blowing in his face, he was born in a water town, and he was very adaptable to all this.

"Fish, fish, big fish!"

"What's wrong with this fish......"

There was a sudden shouting from the ship next to it, and all the soldiers who were steering and watching out rushed to the bow of the ship, and the shouting was so loud that even the eyes of several surrounding boats were attracted.

In the midst of the blue waters, there were two huge fish, and they were playing happily around the moving boat. Strangely, both of these fish have blue scales, long whiskers, and the most outrageous thing is that they even have a ring of mane growing around their necks!

This is indeed a spectacle, Yan Ling was a little dumbfounded when he saw it, even if he was from a later life, he didn't know what kind of species this was, and it was estimated that he would become extinct before he had a chance to live to modern times.

"How can a fish be so big, and there are manes, isn't it already a spirit?"

Suddenly, a voice came from the crowd.

Suddenly, all the onlookers were silent.

Indeed, how can a fish have hair? What's more, this fish is the size of a small boat, it's not a demon or a monster, what is it?

For a while, everyone was a little frightened and scared.

Someone even said in a trembling voice: "On the eve of the war, the spirit went around the ship, didn't I expect that I would lose this battle, and this was preparing to devour human corpses at the bottom of the ship?" ”

"Shut up!" At this time, a partial general walked out, and he slapped the soldier who shouted the loudest in the face: "Who gave you the courage to dare to disturb our army's heart at this time?" ”

Of course, this slap made the soldier dare not say anything more, but the general's actions not only did not play a role in boosting the morale of the army, but made everyone even more frightened.

"Nonsense! What a monster, this is a fish dragon! ”

Yan Ling saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly spoke.

"Strict Senate." "Strict Senate." Everyone saluted, and then couldn't wait to ask:

"Senator, isn't this a spirit?"

Although this fish is really weird, since it has something to do with the "dragon", it is definitely not a monster.

"Of course not. This battle is the opportunity for my lord to leap into the dragon gate, the fish and dragon around the boat, this is following the real dragon, this is an auspicious omen! ”

After all, Yan Ling is a scholar whose status in the army is equal to that of Li Shanchang, and these days he is responsible for running the place and keeping Wu Guogong's territory in order, and the generals and soldiers are still very convinced by his words, and the atmosphere present suddenly eased.

There are even more generals who are quick to see and shout Yan Ling's words, and for a while, the fish and dragons circled the boat, and the soldiers cheered, seeing it as a sign of victory, and their morale soared.

Yan Ling secretly exhaled, turned his head, and met Zhu Yuanzhang's approving gaze.

Good boy, give you a credit.

However, it didn't go far before the unexpected struck again.

A hurricane suddenly blew on the river, and the wind was so strong that even the ship of the general Feng Guosheng was blown over, and for a while, a group of people fluttered in the water, and the people around them were dumbfounded.

It's rare to see such a strong wind, not to mention that it still blows over the ship of Feng Guosheng, who is also a member of the Privy Council, so accurately, you can imagine how outrageous it is.

"It's not like fish and dragons, how can it be ......?"

"It's not a fish dragon, it's a spirit, God won't help me wait......" The soldiers began to talk again.

There is no way, the ancients were superstitious, especially pay attention to auspiciousness, this situation before the war, just like the wind blowing down the handsome flag, is a big ominous omen, it is easy to make people panic.

There was so much movement in the fleet that all the generals were alarmed for a while, but they were helpless in the face of this situation, almost all of the Wenchen under Zhu Yuanzhang were left in Yingtian, and the generals were not ambiguous in fighting, but this kind of thing that did mental work was really not good at.

Zhu Yuanzhang has this ability, but it is not easy for him to stand up and "explain", otherwise he will brag about himself?

Without the salvation of the generals, for a while, the morale plummeted, if you could look directly, then this fleet should have been shrouded in a layer of gray fog at this time, and the soldiers were dejected, and they had long lost the joy of making contributions before. Zhu Yuanzhang and the generals saw it in their eyes and were anxious in their hearts, 200,000 against 600,000, the advantage was not in me, if the army's morale was turbulent again, it would really be lost.

"The flying dragon is in the sky, and the wind and rain follow each other, so there is such an image, everyone, this is another good omen."

Just when the army's heart was shaken, Yan Ling stood up again.

"This is the meaning of my lord who is about to rise in the wind, everyone, this battle will be won!"

When the generals heard this, they immediately had a backbone, and immediately echoed it, and then Feng Guosheng was rescued, which was also a clever one, when he said:

"I should have drowned, but there was a fish, so huge and immense, with a mane on its neck, that it lifted me up and saved my life."

Fish and dragon save people!

This undoubtedly provided evidence for Yan Ling's words, and for a while, morale soared!

Zhu Yuanzhang stood at the bow of the boat from a distance, pretending not to hear Yan Ling's words, after all, he couldn't stand up and say, "That's right, I'm the real dragon", right? But in the bottom of my heart, I am very happy.

At this time, he unconsciously believed Yan Ling's words.

Am I truly a child of destiny?

"Victory! Win! At this time, Yan Ling took the lead and shouted.

As the generals joined, the shouts grew louder and louder, until finally the entire fleet joined in, and the morale of the army was greatly boosted!

On this day, the shout of "victory" resounded across the river, and the people were shocked, so they said that the Han army would be defeated.

-----------------

Under the city of Hongdu.

Chen Youliang watched expressionlessly as his soldiers were driven down from the city by the Wu army again, and he was disappointed in his heart, but he actually expected this ending.

He knew that his subordinates were not stable and united, and it could be said that since the moment he killed Xu Shouhui and ascended to the throne, he didn't want anyone to die for him.

He can't be defeated, once defeated, his power will fall apart in an instant, so he will desperately press the whole army several times, such as this campaign, which has poured out the country.

The inability to capture Hongdu is due to the fact that the terrain of Hongdu is narrow and unfavorable for the deployment of the army and the strong defenders, as well as the fact that his subordinates are not united and unwilling to die.

......At this time, a soldier ran to his side and knelt down: "Your Majesty, there are a large number of ships coming from the river, under the banner of Zhu Yuanzhang, the puppet Duke of Wu, please make a decision." ”

Is it finally here?

"Order, stop attacking. Order the generals to purge the army, the whole army is allocated, and the troops are ......"

The Han Emperor paused, his gaze wandering the map for a moment, and finally fixed on a lake.

Zhu Yuanzhang, take this place as your last grave.

"Poyang Lake."
