Chapter 250 Poyang Lake, a great battle!

[Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang has been arrested, there will be more dangers soon.

At this critical moment, Xu Da stepped forward and asked Guo Zixing to go outside the city to replace Zhu Yuanzhang as a hostage.

Guo Zixing agreed, and Xu Da went to Sun Junzhong to replace Zhu Yuanzhang.

With Xu Da acting as a substitute, Zhu Yuanzhang was finally able to escape and return to the city.

After various mediations, Guo Ziyi finally agreed to let Sun Deya go, and a crisis was finally resolved.

At the critical moment, it was Xu Da's sacrifice to save Zhu Yuanzhang that saved his life. Zhu Yuanzhang was deeply moved and valued Xu Da even more.

Zhu Yuanzhang called Xu Da a "commoner brother" and gave him the most complete trust in the future. 】

[In June, Zhu Yuanzhang led Xu Da and others to cross the river, pull out quarries, go to Taiping, and further plot Jiqing (that is, Nanjing City).

In the battle against Caishiji and Taiping Mansion, Xu Da and Chang Yuchun charged forward and won the battle.

In August, Xu Da and others attacked Lishui, Liyang, Jurong, and Wuhu separately, all of which were defeated. 】

[The rebel army led by Zhu Yuanzhang passed all the way and was invincible.

In February of the 16th year of Zhizheng (AD 1356), the Manzi Hague Navy was destroyed again. In March, Jiqing was captured and Jiqing was changed to Yingtianfu. 】

[After Zhu Yuanzhang occupied Yingtian Mansion, there were Yuan troops in the north, Zhang Shicheng in the east, Chen Youliang and Xu Shouhui in the west, and Fang Guozhen and Chen Youding in the south.

Although they set up the anti-Yuan banner together, they have conflicts with each other, and they are bound to be unable to work together for their own interests.

While Zhu Yuanzhang was surrounded by them, the situation was even more difficult.

Among this group of rebels, Chen Youliang and Zhang Shicheng are the most powerful.

Zhu Yuanzhang judged the situation and decided to destroy Chen Youliang first, and then Zhang Shicheng. 】

"Chen Youliang is Ming Taizu's lifelong enemy, and his strength should not be underestimated."

"Chen Youliang is no ordinary person, he is a descendant of the Xie family, the most prominent clan in the Eastern Jin Dynasty!"

"That's right, compared to Chen Youliang, Ming Taizu looks a bit shabby everywhere."

"So what? Chen Youliang was given by Ming Taizu!"

[To the 19th year of Zhengzheng (AD 1359),

Xu Dahui and Yu Tonghai's navy attacked Chizhou together, smashing the Zhajiang camp, and Zhao Pusheng, who was attacking Taiping, escaped by land.

Xu Dake Chizhou, captured his guard Hong Jun and others, and seized all his warships. Because of their meritorious service, they worshiped the general of the country and knew the affairs of the Privy Council.

Then, Xu Da led his soldiers to take advantage of the victory to attack Anqing.However, the attack on Anqing was not smooth, and Xu Da had to attack Jiangbei instead.

Xu Da first captured Xiawuwei Prefecture, then attacked Fushanzhai at night, defeated Zhao Pusheng's troops in Qingshan, and took advantage of the victory to pursue him.After that, Xu Da returned to Zhenchizhou and formed a land and water attack on Anqing.

However, Zhao Pusheng is a general in Chen Youliang's army, wise and brave, as stable as an old dog.Anqing, which was guarded by him, could not be defeated by Zhu Yuanzhang's generals.

In the end, it was Xu Da who stepped forward. He used a trick to separate Chen Youliang and Zhao Pusheng, and successfully made Chen Youliang kill Zhao Pusheng.After Zhao Pusheng's death, no one could defend the Zongyang Water Village, so Xu Da took the opportunity to capture the Zongyang Water Village. 】

[At the beginning of the 20th year from Yuan to Zhengzheng (AD 1360), Chen Youliang led an army to raid Chizhou!

After Zhu Yuanzhang heard the news, he immediately sent Chang Yuchun to lead troops to reinforce Xu Da who was guarding Chizhou, and sent an envoy to tell Xu Da: "Chen Youliang is coming soon."

After Xu Da received Chang Yuchun's reinforcements, he decided to lure the enemy deep and ambush him on all sides.

Therefore, he ordered Chang Yuchun to lead ten thousand elite soldiers to set up an ambush at Liuquankou; on the other hand, he selected more than ten thousand elite soldiers to ambush at the foot of Jiuhua Mountain, cutting off Chen Youliang's retreat. 】

[Chen Youliang arrived in Chizhou and began to attack Chizhou City with all his strength.

Xu Da led the defenders to attack in Kaesong. Chang Yuchun and the ambush soldiers covered them, smashed Chen Youliang's army, beheaded more than [-] people, and captured [-] prisoners. Chen Youliang was defeated and fled to Jiangzhou. 】

[Chen Youliang occupies the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, with elite troops and large ships, and is ambitious. He is the main threat to Zhu Yuanzhang and others' career development.

In May of the 20th year of Zhizheng (1360 A.D.), Chen Youliang once again led hundreds of thousands of water troops to the east, intending to take Yingtianfu directly.

Zhu Yuanzhang used the weak to resist the strong, and designed ambushes to lure the enemy deep. He ordered Chang Yuchun to set up an ambush with 3 people from the five-winged army in front of Feng Guosheng.

After a fierce battle, Chen Youliang's soldiers who landed in Longwan were rushed and killed by Chang Yuchun and Feng Guosheng's ambushes. They suffered heavy casualties and were routed.

At that time, the tide was falling in the river and the water in Longwan was shallow. More than 100 giant ships of Chen Youliang ran aground.

With the great victory in Longwan, Zhu Yuanzhang turned the crisis into safety, and by the way, strengthened his strength. 】

[In March of the 22nd year of Zhizheng (1362), the former Chen Youliang who was stationed in Hongdu surrendered his generals Zhu Zong and Kang Tai to rebel, and Xu Da led the Hanyang army to judge.

In April, due to Xu Da's rush to aid Anfeng, Chen Youliang took advantage of the vacancy, captured Ji'an, Wuwei and other places, and concentrated his forces to storm Hongdu.

Hongdu was besieged for more than two months, and the situation was tense.

Zhu Yuanzhang hurriedly summoned Xu Da from Luzhou to join the army, and used 20 boats to station Hujiang, Jiujiangkou and Nanhuzui to cut off Chen Youliang's retreat.

Chen Youliang learned that Zhu Yuanzhang's army was approaching, so he retreated from the east of Poyang Lake, and finally the two sides met at Kanglang Mountain.

When the two armies encountered each other, Xu Da took the lead and led the army to fight. He defeated the forward of Chen Youliang's army, beheaded more than 500 people, and captured a warship.

Under Xu Da's command, Zhu Yuanzhang's army fought fiercely with Chen Youliang for several months. In the end, Chen Youliang was beaten and moved to Pozhuji, afraid to fight again. 】

[In the third year after the Longwan War, that is, in the 23rd year of Zhengzheng (1363 AD), Chen Youliang saw the right time and made a comeback.

He led a so-called 60 army to attack, and fought a decisive water battle with Zhu Yuanzhang's army in Poyang Lake that lasted for 36 days and determined life and death! 】

[At that time, Xu Da was leading troops across the river with Zhu Yuanzhang, went north to Anfeng, and rushed to rescue Han Lin'er and Liu Futong who were attacked by Zhang Shicheng.

Chen Youliang saw this opportunity and decisively launched the largest and large-scale attack on Zhu Yuanzhang so far. 】

"A great battle has begun!"

"The Battle of Poyang Lake seems to be the prototype of the Battle of Chibi in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", right? But I think this battle is much more thrilling than in the Romance!"

"This is Zhu Yuanzhang's comeback! After defeating Chen Youliang, Zhu Yuanzhang can be regarded as the real first army of the uprising!"

[Facing the raging Chen Youliang, Zhu Yuanzhang personally led troops to meet him, and the two sides immediately launched a fierce battle in Poyang Lake.

Chen Youliang has an absolute advantage in military and financial resources. He has 60 troops and dozens of giant ships; while Zhu Yuanzhang has only 20 people, and he uses small boats.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang was not afraid, Xu Da, Chang Yuchun and other generals were even more motivated, and the small universe was burning! 】

[As soon as the battle started, Xu Da was on the front line, commanding the soldiers to fight bravely.

Chen Youliang's warship was large and strong, but slow; Zhu Yuanzhang's warship was small, fast, and maneuverable.The two armies were at a stalemate, and the killing was inextricably linked.

There was also an accident.Zhu Yuanzhang's ship ran aground. Chen Youliang's general Zhang Dingbian saw this opportunity, so he led the fleet to besiege. The situation was very critical.

At this critical moment, Chang Yuchun took the lead, shot Zhang Dingbian, and hit Zhu Yuanzhang's ship with his warship to make it escape from the shoal, thus saving Zhu Yuanzhang. 】

【Chen Youliang's army is not a mob. Under their desperate attack, Xu Da's warship was set on fire, and was besieged by countless Chen troops.

But Xu Da put out the raging fire recklessly, and still continued to command and fight.

Thanks to Zhu Yuanzhang's timely rescue of warships and the tenacious defense of Xu Da and others, they finally repelled the enemy and escaped from the danger. 】
