Chen Youliang attributed the failure of this battle to the fact that his fleet was not completely chained enough.

So on the second day, when Zhu Yuanzhang's Wu army drove out again, he was faced with a closely connected ship formation. In Chen Youliang's Han army, except for a small number of small boats, the rest have all been connected together.

Although the other party was violent, and the tall giant ships were connected together, like a small city, with tall and strong walls, constantly advancing, Zhu Yuanzhang was not flustered.

Last night, he had prepared seven large boats, full of flammable grass and reeds, and he was afraid that Chen Youliang would not die completely enough, so he specially added sandwiches - barrels of explosives to these boats.

In order to avoid being discovered by the Han army, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered people to tie up straw on these boats, covered with armor, holding weapons in their hands, and waving flags behind them, just like the main warships, but in fact, there were only dozens of dead soldiers on them.

All he lacked now was a strong enough northeasterly wind. After all, only a strong wind can give full play to the advantages of fire attack, otherwise if it is unsuccessful once, it will leave enough strength for Chen Youliang, and the other party will be on guard, so it will not be so easy to deal with.

However, after waiting for a day, the wind never blew.

That's really Sun Wu's reincarnation, there is no way, God doesn't give it convenience.

The Wu army could only bite the bullet and launched an attack on Chen Youliang's fleet.

At this time, Chen Youliang's army advanced, and in the face of the attack of the Wu army, they did not panic at all, the huge ship formed a ship formation like an iron wall, no matter how the Wu army attacked, they could not penetrate it! Not only that, Chen Youliang also sensed the weakness of the right flank of the Wu army, and under the fierce attack of the commanded army, the Wu army complained bitterly and began to retreat!

Zhu Yuanzhang personally stood on the bow of the ship with a weapon and ordered "those who pass by this ship to be killed", but even if he beheaded more than ten thousand households in a row, he still couldn't contain the defeat! Fortunately, at the most critical moment, Ding Pulang led his subordinates to attack, although it ended in failure, but it also drove the momentum of the Wu army, so that they barely supported it without collapsing.

In the face of the Han army's cluster assault, the Wu army not only failed to break through, but also suffered heavy losses, Ding Pulang, Yu Chang, Chen Bi, Xu Gongfu and other generals were killed, a large number of soldiers were killed, ships were destroyed, and heavy losses were taken.

The morale of the Wu army was greatly lost, and the morale of the army began to be unstable, although Zhu Yuanzhang himself still had a firm belief and fighting spirit, but his subordinates were already a little frustrated and even frightened by the attack of the Han army.

Chen Youliang happily watched Wu Jun roll up the banner and retreat, at this time he was complacent, wearing gorgeous armor, with a yellow dragon flag behind him, enjoying the compliments of the ministers.

Zhu Yuanzhang, and the senator named Yan Ling...... I want to carry your heads to the tomb in Dingbian to pay respects, and I want you to be the stepping stone on my road to success!

And the Wu army, after this battle, seemed to be exhausted, and during the day on the third day, they still fought very hard, but they were struggling to support, and the defeat seemed to be decided.

However, it seems that God wants to give this beggar a chance to continue his legendary life.

At the time of Shen Shi (Ming Shilu records it is "晡", about 3 o'clock to 5 o'clock in the afternoon), a northeast wind suddenly blew on the river, and the wind was extremely strong, it was simply heaven's help!

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately ordered the fireboat to set off!

Seeing that the Wu army only had the power to parry, the Han army had already relaxed its guard, and the fireboat followed the wind, extremely fast, and actually let these seven ships sneak attack successfully!

Seeing that they were already approaching the Han army, the dead soldiers lit the straw, and then jumped into the river!

Although it lost the control of the soldiers, the ship still sailed towards the Han army at a high speed under the fierce wind, and at the same time the raging flames were ignited on it!

The Han sentries finally noticed the ships, and they shouted in panic, but it was too late. Chen Youliang's ship was too big, and it took a lot of time to turn.

Just listening to the sound of "boom" and "boom", the fireboat has already crashed into the ships of the Han army.

The giant ship just shook a little and then calmed down, their tonnage was extremely large, and an impact of this magnitude was simply not enough to cause any damage.

However, the real killer move is far from this mere impact!

It was evening and the sun was setting.

The sun shed its last afterglow, and the blood-like red was reflected on the surface of the lake, with the sparkling surface of the lake, it was so beautiful, it should have been a quiet appearance.

And now, the same beauty, except that it is killing, the cruel beauty of blood!

Soaring fire! The fire took advantage of the wind and ignited all the hundreds of ships of Chen Youliang in an instant! The soldiers' eyes were filled with terrible fire, and fire was burning on the ships, on the sails, and even on their bodies! To save their lives, they have to jump into the icy water, but then they have to face the same deadly lake!

The flames were so fierce that the burning smoke and dust almost obscured the entire sky, and the red flames reflected the entire surface of the lake in red!

Misfortune is not a single line, at this time, the Wu army launched a general attack! Countless ships rushed down the river and rushed towards the Han army, and the earth-shattering shouts seemed to come from the underworld, which was a deadly call!

The Han army no longer had the heart to resist, and without the order of the generals, they began to steer the ships and retreat without authorization, and even those generals began to flee! What organization retreats, what cover, blockade, and rear of the palace, there is no such thing, and there is only one word left in the hearts of all the Han soldiers - "escape"!

There was no more love between them, and they even fought for the escape waterway, and the giant ship didn't care about the small boat on the lake at all, and directly ran over it! The morale of the army has been weakened to an extremely terrible level!

"Your Majesty, quickly withdraw!" Chen Youliang stood at the bow of the boat, he looked so helpless at this time, the dragon flag behind him was even a little ridiculous, and the people around him persuaded that they didn't want Chen Youliang to take them to resist, it was to death.

Just half a day ago, he had beaten the Wu army and lost his armor, killing and wounding their generals, but he didn't expect that the reversal would come so quickly.

The Han Emperor spat out two words from his mouth in despair, he knew that the battle had been lost.

"Retreat!"

Can't wait, the giant ship began to turn, and sailed away from the battlefield with the defeated army, the remnant sun was like blood, shining on the crooked "Chen" banner, it was so down, as if it showed his end.

In this battle, hundreds of huge ships of the Han army were burned, and the Wu army was awarded the first rank of 2,000 ranks, but the drowning and burning of the dead are innumerable! Chen Youliang's younger brother Chen Yougui and his Pingzhang Chen Puluo were all burned to death! Even his wise and brave younger brother Chen Youren, known as the Five Kings, died in the sea of fire!

At the beginning of the fire, the sea of clouds shone brightly, and the Poyang building ship was swept away!
