"Biao Er!"
Suddenly, Zhu Yuanzhang's voice reached Zhu Biao's ears.
"Your son is here!"
"Chen Youliang has already proclaimed himself emperor. Our army is less than fifty thousand, but the other party has a hundred thousand men. Do you think we should fight or run?”
Zhu Biao didn't hesitate.
"Your son thinks that we should fight!"
"Oh? Why do you say that?"
Zhu Biao stood up and bowed to Zhu Yuanzhang. Then, he glanced at the officials and said slowly,"
"Since ancient times, there has never been a saying of losing before a battle. The brave would win when they met on a narrow road. At most, they would fight it out with him. Your son is willing to live and die with Ying Tian!"
"Good, the prince is right!"
After Zhu Biao finished speaking, Liu Bowen, First Year, and the others all cheered.
"Many of you here, when you encounter a weak enemy, you will flaunt your strength. When you encounter a slightly stronger enemy, your legs will start to tremble. You really don't look like a civil and military minister, but rather like a coward.”
Xu Da's words made the faces of the people who advocated retreating turn purple.
This was really a rude scolding.
However, it also made those who advocated peace angry.
That's right, if everything was smooth sailing, wouldn't they really become a bunch of useless people?
Zhu Yuanzhang spent a lot of money to support them. Didn't he want them to give some ideas in this situation?!
Besides, what was the ability to fight with the wind? Those who could fight against the wind were heroes.
Taking a step back, even if they really didn't have the ability to win this battle, at least they couldn't be pointed at the nose and scolded like this!
Being scolded for being less courageous than an eight-year-old prince.
Then he would really become a son of a bitch.
"We are willing to advance and retreat with Ying Tian City.”
No matter what, their opinions were finally more or less unified.
Liu Bowen acted as a think tank, and the ministers also racked their brains crazily. The people raised by Zhu Yuanzhang were not all useless. They quickly found a way to deal with Chen Youliang's nearly 100,000-strong army.
That was to use one's strength to attack the enemy's weakness.
What was the advantage of Chen Youliang's army? The Han army has a strong navy and a large number of people.
The number of people on the other side was double that of their side.
What about Zhu Yuanzhang? Although they had fewer people than the other side, they were still not enough compared to the army and cavalry.
How could he use his own strength to attack the enemy's weakness?
The final result of the discussion was to lure Chen Youliang's army to a relatively open area, and then they would use their advantages to defeat them with the army and cavalry.
As for how to make Chen Youliang go ashore obediently…
Liu Bowen proposed the method that Zhu Yuanzhang used to win in history.
He let Chen Youliang go ashore at Dragon Bay, which was far away from Yingtian City. The Wu army would use cavalry to destroy Chen Youliang's main force here.
Then how could they ensure that Chen Youliang would land at Dragon Bay?
Liu Bowen took advantage of Chen Youliang's sensitive and suspicious personality.
Among the generals under Zhu Yuanzhang, there was one called Kang Maocai.
Before this person defected to Zhu Yuanzhang, Chen Youliang was an old friend.
Liu Bowen asked Kang Maocai to write a letter to Chen Youliang.
It was said that Kang Maocai was not put in an important position by Zhu Yuanzhang and was willing to run to a wise ruler because of his frustration, which was Chen Youliang.
He suggested that he take Jiangdong Bridge to accept his surrender.
Jiangdong Bridge was originally a wooden bridge.
Kang Mao would disobey Zhu Yuanzhang's order and move the bridge away so that Chen Youliang's army could march straight in.
Then, Lee Shan Chang changed the wooden bridge into a stone bridge overnight.
When Chen Youliang arrived at the Qinhuai River, he realized that Jiangdong Bridge was not a wooden bridge but a stone bridge. He contacted Kang Maocai but there was no reply.
As expected, Chen Youliang changed his direction and prepared to land from Dragon Bay.
Zhu Biao, on the other hand, requested for the Wolf Breaking Army to fight and cut off Chen Youliang's path of retreat.
Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it and agreed. However, he still added 3,000 regular troops to the Wolf Breaking Army to support them.
……
By the time Chen Youliang's army landed at Dragon Bay, the Wu Kingdom's army had been waiting here for a long time.
Zhu Yuanzhang appointed Shao Rong, Feng Sheng, and Chang Yuchun as the generals and handed over most of the main force to them. They hid near the limestone mountain and attacked as soon as Chen Youliang came.
In addition, there were also many people supporting him. They were all at the side.
No one dared to say that Chen Youliang would definitely fall for it.
What if he suddenly had an idea?
If he didn't fall for it, then wouldn't Zhu Yuanzhang just hand over Ying Tiancheng?
Therefore, the other soldiers were stationed not far away. If he did not fall for it, they would still have a chance to fight.
Zhu Yuanzhang personally led the last 3,000 personal guards and stood on Lion Mountain, which was some distance away from Dragon Bay. His expression was gloomy.
In this battle, Zhu Yuanzhang could be said to have given his all.
The 50,000 troops stationed in Yingtian, apart from Zhu Yuanzhang's 3,000 personal guards, all joined the battle.
As expected, the 100,000 Han soldiers soon came ashore.
Zhu Yuanzhang did not hesitate.
"Attack!"
As these two words fell, hundreds of flags with the word 'Wu' were raised at the same time on Lion Mountain. The soldiers holding the flags kept waving them.
The Five-Winged Army that had been hiding behind the limestone mountain immediately charged out from their position.
They charged out from three different directions and charged towards the Han army.
When Chen Youliang saw this, he knew that he had fallen into a trap no matter how stupid he was.
However, he couldn't run away.
The situation now was very different from Jiang Dongqiao.
When he was at Jiang Dongqiao, Chen Youliang realized that the person who ran him was gone. He knew that he had been tricked, but he did not find the enemy.
Of course, he could withdraw his troops and leave.
It was very easy to evacuate before the battle.
However, once the battle started, it would not be so easy to escape.
Then he would lose a large number of elite soldiers. At that time, the attack on the Wu Kingdom would become a joke.
He had just ascended to the throne and could not accept such a failure.
He could only fight it out with Wu Jun!
After all, the Wu Country only had 50,000 troops, while he had 100,000.
Although he had fallen into a trap, he still had the advantage.
Chen Youliang understood and was not in a hurry to retreat. He pulled out his sword and pointed it at Ying Tian.
"Pass on my decree! The entire army attacked! My subjects must fight bravely! The person who captured Zhu Yuanzhang alive would be rewarded with ten thousand gold and be conferred the title of king!”
"Kill a general, reward thousands of gold!"
In war, what was the best way to stimulate the soldiers 'courage?
Give money and reward!
Hearing Chen Youliang's words, the morale of the Han army soared.
"Kill the general of Wu Country, reward him with a thousand gold and make him a marquis!”
"Long live Your Majesty, capture Zhu Yuanzhang alive!”
"I swear to protect Ying Tian!"
"Duke Wu and the prince are watching us!”
The roars of the two armies instantly intertwined.
However, Chen Youliang's Han army was far from being a match for the Wu army in terms of discipline, generals, and strategy.
Therefore, although the Han army was twice as large as the Wu army, they were already defeated in less than an hour.
Since he had no chance of winning, how could Chen Youliang care about his dignity? He was ready to run away at any moment.
Anyway, as long as he was alive, he would definitely make a comeback.
Zhu Biao was on Lion Mountain. When he saw that Chen Youliang wanted to retreat, the corners of his mouth slowly curled into a cruel smile.
Want to run?
Then, he raised his left hand and a custom-made flintlock appeared in his hand.
