On the shore of Poyang Lake.
The victorious shouts of the Wu army shook the heavens and earth. Chen Youliang looked north in panic!
This miraculous victory had boosted the confidence of the Wu soldiers under Zhu Xiong's command!
Before coming to Hongdu City.
Everyone felt uneasy!
They were all thinking how many days they could hold out and when Hongdu City would be breached by Chen Youliang. Countless people had even written their wills.
30,000 men against 600,000 men. With a difference of 20 times in strength, these Wu soldiers did not even think about winning.
However!
After this battle!
Their confidence was off the charts!
This transcendent confidence came from their commander, Zhu Xiong, a god-like man!
He led 800 cavalry to raid the camp at night!
A huge fire caused Chen Youliang's army to suffer heavy losses, and they only dared to attack Hongdu after half a month!
Today!
He had even defeated an army ten times his size with just 30,000 men!
He had created history!
He had created a miracle!
They firmly believed that in the upcoming war, the Third Prince Zhu Rong would definitely lead them to victory and make a name for himself!
"Ding! The host was outnumbered and chose to fight head-on when there was a huge disparity in strength. He was so reckless that he had no friends!”
"Reward: Fine Steel Smelting Technique, flintlock gun manufacturing method!”
As Chen Youliang retreated, the system notification sounded in Zhu Rong's mind.
"Not bad, not bad!"
"A very practical reward!"
Zhu Xiong grinned when he heard the system reward. He was very satisfied with the reward.
Now that the world was in chaos, it was time for war.
The two skills rewarded by the system were a timely rain for Zhu Rong and the entire Wu Army. They could greatly increase the strength of Wu Army!
On one hand, fighting was about the elite soldiers.
On the other hand, it was about the weapons and equipment of the army.
With the Steel Smelting Technique.
Whether it was the soldiers 'armor or weapons, they would be upgraded by several grades. Strong armor and sharp weapons would undoubtedly increase the soldiers' combat effectiveness.
He asked.
In a battle between two armies, if you cut off the enemy's saber with one slash, and the enemy couldn't break your defense with one slash, what would be the result?
It was a one-sided result!
In addition!
The flintlock was even more invincible!
At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, although there were guns and cannons, these firearms were still in their infancy. They were not mature enough and were very cumbersome to use.
On the battlefield, in order to increase the launch efficiency.
A handgun required at least three people to operate.
One person was in charge of firing, one was in charge of loading, and one was in charge of cleaning the chamber. It was especially troublesome!
But flintlock wouldn't.
Compared to the handguns of this era, flintlocks were lighter and more convenient to carry. One person could operate them, and they were hundreds of years more advanced.
"With these two technologies, the establishment of the Great Ming Dynasty should be faster!”
"At that time, I will definitely conquer a super empire that is even larger than the Yuan Dynasty!”
"The mountains and rivers illuminated by the sun and moon are all Great Ming's territory!”
Zhu Xiong was planning a grand blueprint for the future in his heart.
Since he had come to this world, it was impossible for this world to continue developing according to its original history.
The Ming Empire would become even more prosperous and powerful!
"Return to the city!"
"Today, we won a great battle. All of you are great heroes!”
"When we return, we'll slaughter pigs and sheep to reward the entire army.”
"But there's one thing. You're not allowed to drink!”
Zhu Xiong was in a good mood after winning the battle and receiving the system's reward.
" Oh oh oh!!!"
" Thank you, Third Prince!"
"Eat meat! Eat meat!"
When the soldiers heard that Zhu Xiong was going to reward the entire army, they were all extremely excited.
In this chaotic era of war, it was one thing to be able to eat a full meal, let alone eat meat.
The reason why they participated in the uprising and rebelled against the Yuan Dynasty was because the officials 'exorbitant taxes made it impossible for them to survive.
In history, Zhu Yuanzhang once said something.
At that time, as long as he had enough to eat, he would not have chosen to rebel. There would not have been the Ming Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang in the world, and there would only be an ordinary farmer, Zhu Zhongba.
Zhu Xiong led his soldiers back to the city in triumph.
After entering the city, Zhu Xiong immediately ordered the logistics department to slaughter pigs and sheep to reward the entire army, fulfilling his promise.
Within Hongdu City.
Cheers and laughter filled the air as the soldiers gathered in groups of twos and threes, munching on meat and bragging. Their moods were extremely good.
At the same time.
A fast horse left Hongdu City in the starry night to deliver the battle report to Jinling.
......
The next day.
The sun had just risen, and the sky outside Jinling City was filled with colorful clouds. It was very eye-catching.
Marshal Manor.
Xu Da, Tang He, Chang Yuchun, Li Shanchang, and Liu Bowen were discussing military and political matters with Zhu Yuanzhang.
In the middle of the marshal's residence hung a huge map.
Amongst them.
Poyang Lake, Jinling City, Hongdu City, and the surrounding areas were all marked in detail.
Obviously.
They were discussing how to deal with Chen Youliang.
"Everyone, after a hundred days, Chen Youliang will definitely not have enough rations and his army will be in disarray. How can we attack and destroy Chen Youliang's army in one fell swoop?”
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the map and asked everyone.
He did not doubt that his son could defend the city for 100 days.
Previously, he was still nervous and suspicious.
Would his son be able to defend Hongdu City for a hundred days?
However!
The great victory half a month ago had given Zhu Yuanzhang a shot in the arm, making him firmly believe that Zhu Rong would be able to hold on to Hongdu City for a hundred days!
At that time!
That was when Zhu Yuanzhang would launch a counterattack against Chen Youliang!
"Reporting to my superior, if we want to destroy Chen Youliang's army, we must start from the navy.”
"But…"
"The difference between our navy and Chen Youliang's navy is not just one level!”
"The flagships under Chen Youliang's command are all giant Mengchong that are ten zhang tall and a hundred zhang long, while our longest warship is only twenty battle vessels long!”
"Moreover, our navy has very few warships, only five hundred or so, while Chen Youliang has as many as two thousand!”
"This subordinate has ordered people to work day and night to supervise the construction of warships, but there is still not enough time!”
Lee Shan Chang sighed.
Zhu Yuanzhang started late. Compared to Chen Youliang, the difference in strength under him was too great!
After Li Shan Chang finished speaking, everyone fell silent. Their hearts were somewhat heavy.
The difference in strength between the two sides was too great!
"Report-"
"Commander, the Great Capital City has sent a battle report!”
A guard from the marshal's residence hurried in to report to Zhu Yuanzhang.
"Battle report from Hongdu City?"
"Where?"
"Hurry up! Hurry up and give it to me!"
Zhu Yuanzhang did not wait for the soldiers to come in. He ran out directly, eager to see the battle report.
Hongdu City.
This was not only related to his son's safety, but also to his grand ambition. He had no choice but to take it seriously!
Outside the marshal's manor.
Zhu Yuanzhang saw the travel-worn messenger soldier of Hongdu City and quickly snatched the battle report from his hands.
After browsing through it, Zhu Yuanzhang's expression suddenly changed!
His entire body froze!
His Adam's apple bobbed!
He swallowed hard!
The hands holding the battle report were trembling slightly!
An incredulous expression appeared on his face!
Numb!
His entire body was numb!
His lips trembled as he said,"This…" How is this possible?"
"Three…30,000 people had defeated 300,000 of Chen Youliang's men!？”
"Boom!"
Zhu Yuanzhang's voice was like a clap of thunder that exploded in the ears of Xu Da, Tang He, Chang Yuchun, Li Shanchang, and Liu Bowen!
(ΩДΩ)！！！
Their expressions were almost exactly the same!
He was dumbfounded!
Lee Shan Chang's hand that was stroking his beard excitedly pulled off a large chunk of his beard!
Liu Bowen's feather fan also fell to the ground with a thud!!
They!
He felt as if he had heard a miracle!
