However, the strange thing is that Long Xiaotian and Long Haodi brothers, as well as Wu Min and Zhou Yidai, were not on the ship.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Chen Youliang's three-story tall warships on the opposite side, and still had doubts about whether this battle could be won, and his confidence was greatly reduced at this moment, so he asked Liu Bowen beside him with a skeptical attitude: "Liu Junshi, you see that Chen Youliang's battleship is so high, if it rushes over, our warship will definitely be broken in half by them, in your opinion, can we win against them?"

However, Liu Bowen seemed to know the result, and his face did not show a look of panic and anxiety, but said confidently: "Your Royal Highness King Wu, you can rest assured! Miss Wu's strategy will not be wrong, don't forget that there will be an east wind in three days, we just need to try to hold them back within these three days." ”

As soon as Liu Bowen's words fell, the sound of drums and shouts also stopped abruptly at this moment, and Chen Youliang, who was standing on the bow of the ship, shouted at Zhu Yuanzhang opposite: "Zhu Yuanzhang, my Chen Youliang's warships are invincible and invincible, and they were once the elite naval forces of the Great Yuan Dynasty, just because of your dozens of broken ships, you want to fight with me, don't dream, I advise you to surrender quickly, otherwise I will definitely let you die without a place to bury as soon as the war starts." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang has always had a strong personality, even if he knew that the strength of his navy was not as good as Chen Youliang, he would not take the initiative to surrender.

So he spat on the ground and scolded: "I, what qualifications do you have to persuade me to surrender, you are loyal to the imperial court but use despicable means to steal the treasure of Nanao Island and stand on your own, this time I Zhu Yuanzhang will do my best to take your Chen Youliang's head, in order to repay me for being captured by you in Majiazhuang that day." ”

"I regret that I didn't kill you in Majiazhuang that day, so I caused today's disaster, and if I don't kill you today, I will not be a man. ”

After saying that, he ordered Zhang Dingbian to command the battleship to charge forward with iron chains, and Zhu Yuanzhang's fleet also bravely and fearlessly rushed towards Chen Youliang's fleet at this moment.

When the bows of these two fleets were about to approach each other, the commander-in-chief of Zhu Yuanzhang's fleet gave an order: "The first team turns left to the full rudder, and the second team turns right to the full rudder, and they are divided and surrounded." ”

Before Zhang Dingbian could react, Zhu Yuanzhang's dozens of small boats were divided into two teams, surrounding Chen Youliang's fleet in the middle like dumplings, which made Chen Youliang on the boat suddenly feel strange in his heart.

"Damn, what the hell are these guys up to?"

Before he could think about it, the dozens of battleships like dumplings greeted Chen Youliang's battleship with cannons and firearms on the strings, and the rumbling cannon fire shook the dragon chair where Chen Youliang was sitting and made Chen Youliang feel panicked in his heart at this time.

Zhang Dingbian, who was familiar with water warfare, seemed to know what tactics the enemy ships used after seeing this situation, and he calmed Chen Youliang's emotional voice when he panicked and said gently: "Don't be afraid, the emperor adopts the tactics of swarming and wants to encircle us, and then annihilate them one by one, but their warships are too small, as long as our ships break through the encirclement, they can break through their encirclement, and Weichen will order the fleet to break through." ”

After finishing speaking, Zhang Dingbian left.

At this time, Chen Youliang's battleships had begun to fiercely fight back against the attack of Zhu Yuanzhang's fleet, because Chen Youliang's battleships were tall and condescending, and their firepower was fiercer than Zhu Yuanzhang's fleet, and in less than an hour, many ships of Zhu Yuanzhang's fleet sank at the bottom of Poyang Lake, which made Zhu Yuanzhang, who was standing from a distance and watching the battle situation, feel a little worried.

"So many warships have sunk in less than an hour, and if this continues, my ship will be wiped out!"

However, to his surprise, Liu Bowen still behaved calmly and calmly, he smiled slightly and pointed to the battleship not far away with a folding fan in his hand and said: "His Royal Highness King Wu don't worry, they will have a way to deal with it." ”

When the battle was at its most intense, the commander of Zhu Yuanzhang's fleet ordered at this time: "Quickly, use the assault boat to blow up Chen Youliang's big ship." ”

Immediately afterwards, countless assault boats were like meteors, attacking Chen Youliang's battleship.

The moment they came into contact with Chen Youliang's battleship, the death squad members on the assault ship lit the ship's fuse and jumped off the ship, which was ignited after a while, and then blew up the bottom of Chen Youliang's warship.

At the moment when several of Chen Youliang's warships were blown up, because the iron chains attached to the hull were not untied in time, other ships that were not sunk by the assault ship were also sunk, and this battle caused Chen Youliang's fleet heavy losses.

At this time, Zhang Dingbian was hurriedly ordering his fleet commanders to untie the iron chains attached to the hull, but it was too late.

"Hurry up and untie all the chains on the ship, quick. ”

I saw a sailor on the battleship respond: "It's too late, it's too late, the enemy is already eyeing us." ”

"What did you say?"

Before he could finish speaking, the archers on Zhu Yuanzhang's fleet pulled the strings on their bows and arrows into the shape of a full moon, pointed the arrows at the sky, and then shot them at the soldiers on Chen Youliang's fleet who were preparing to divide the ships.

The soldiers who were hit by the arrow fell to the ground instantly, but fortunately Zhang Dingbian used the shield in his hand to protect himself so that he was not shot by the arrow.

At this time, Zhang Dingbian glared at Zhu Yuanzhang's fleet with an angry face, frowned and said angrily: "Damn guy." ”

And the commander-in-chief on Zhu Yuanzhang's battleship was ordering: "Quick, quickly shoot to death the sailors on Chen Youliang's battleship who are preparing to divide the ship, don't let them have a chance, and they must survive these three days." ”

The battle lasted for three days, and the fleets of the two sides basically fought for a while and then stopped fighting for a while, and then continued to fight after a while, but Chen Youliang's fleet could never break through the encirclement of Zhu Yuanzhang's fleet.

However, on the third day of the battle, Zhang Dingbian stood on the bow of the boat and suddenly noticed Zhu Yuanzhang, who was standing on the bow of the boat not far from the water, and had an idea in his heart, so he ordered several of his subordinates: "Quick, quickly prepare the three largest warships for me, and untie the iron chains while the enemy is not paying attention." ”

"Yes, sir. ”

When Zhang Ding got on the side of the three big ships tied to iron chains, he pulled out the scimitar at his waist and ordered: "Go at full speed, target Zhu Yuanzhang's command ship, and kill Zhu Yuanzhang." ”

"Yes. ”

After receiving the order, the sailors desperately rowed the ship in the direction of Zhu Yuanzhang, and after a while, they broke through the encirclement of Zhu Yuanzhang's fleet and successfully broke through, which made the commander of the battleship who was responsible for encircling Chen Youliang in the middle couldn't help but feel a big shock in his heart.

"Not good, the enemy ship rushed to His Royal Highness King Wu. ”

However, he did not order his fleet to pursue Zhang Dingbian's three large ships, because the order he received was to besiege Chen Youliang's fleet for three days and three nights, so he did not want to fall short.

At this time, Zhang Dingbian commanded three big ships to rush towards Zhu Yuanzhang's battleship, and when Zhu Yuanzhang saw this formation, he was immediately stunned, and hurriedly ordered his officers and soldiers: "Quick, stop them for me, stop them." ”

However, the other warships responsible for protecting Zhu Yuanzhang were like tiny ants in front of Zhang Dingbian's three warships, and they couldn't stop the pace of Zhang Dingbian's battleship charging at all, so Zhu Yuanzhang had no choice but to order his ships to retreat.

But when Zhu Yuanzhang's boat was about to retreat, it suddenly hit the reef and couldn't move.

Seeing that Zhang Dingbian's three big ships were about to approach Zhu Yuanzhang's command ship, if they were hit by Zhang Dingbian's big ship, they would probably be buried at the bottom of Poyang Lake, which also made the heart of the commander who was responsible for commanding and surrounding Chen Youliang's fleet suddenly rise to his throat.

At this time, Zhang Dingbian saw that he was about to turn defeat into victory, he stood on the bow of the boat and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang who was not far from him with a proud face, and said with a cold smile: "Zhu Yuanzhang, suffer death!"

However, at this time, Chang Yuchun commanded his warship to rush in the direction of Zhu Yuanzhang's warship and shouted: "Lord, Chang Yuchun has come to save you." ”
