Chapter 944 : A Thousand Miles of Bright Moon
At dawn on the second day, after some preparation last night, Zhang Dingbian designated three dragon boats that were fifteen meters long, two meters wide and three meters high, and were able to carry three thousand horses. He made a fleet of sneak attacks on Dawn. The three dragon boats were the only ones, Han Shixun and Chen Youren, who were in charge. The three dragon boats were connected by themselves, but they were enough to separate. They entered the camp since Dawn. After all, this was the most important battle to attack the Zhu army. Its importance was no less than that in Longwan, Jiangzhou and Hongdu. The cannons, powerful crossbows, feather arrows, big swords, spears, and projectiles on the ship were all prepared. The three dragon boats rode the wind and waves and headed straight to the camp where Zhu Yuanzhang's army was docked.
The three thousand soldiers on the dragon boat came from the personal guards of Huangzhou. Most of these people were skilled in martial arts and their shooting skills were definitely not inferior to those of the sharpshooters. In addition to the three Huangzhou confidants scattered on the three dragon boats, there were also hundreds of soldiers operating artillery scattered on various warships.
At this moment, in addition to the mist, Poyang Lake occasionally floated by a few egrets in the sky. The sun halo that jumped out slightly in the morning covered the Poyang Lake with a coat, which was very beautiful. However, Zhang Dingbian was not distracted from admiring. Although the three dragon ships sailed in had three thousand soldiers, artillery, feather arrows, powerful crossbows, and projectiles, the Zhu army was a 200,000 army after all, and after all, they were invincible to shoot Zhu Yuanzhang among the thousands of troops.
After several days of investigation, he learned that Zhu Yuanzhang had just left Kangshan on a dragon boat and patrolled the navy along the way. At this time, the defense of Zhu's army was also the most relaxed time. Who would have thought that someone would dare to lead three dragon boats and rush into the enemy alone and shoot the commander of the army? So at this time, as long as you take the opportunity to attack the Zhu army's waters, it will inevitably cause chaos in the Zhu army. Only in the chaos can you have a chance to shoot and kill one. Only in this way can you be surprised and unprepared!
The surface of Poyang Lake is endless, with waves calm, and the sky is bright, and there are thousands of green acres; sand gulls gather, and the scales swim; the shore is icy orchid, lush and green. Or the smoke is everywhere, the bright moon is thousands of miles away, the floating light leaps gold, the quiet shadow sinks into the jade, and the fisherman's songs answer each other. Three thousand warships are densely anchored along the side of Kangshan. Zhu Yuanzhang led Chang Yuchun and began his every move of the patrol fleet at dawn every day.
The battles over the past few days made the 200,000 army feel a little tired. At this time, dawn fell and the temperature was appropriate. It was time for a good sleep. Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the soldiers who were tilted around and sighed slightly, and ordered the soldiers of the dragon boat not to alarm the sleeping soldiers.
The dragon boat patrolled along the lake without making any sound.
The lake was covered with smoke. Not far away, the three dragon boats on Zhang Dingbian were centered on his dragon boat, shaking the wind and waves, and rushed towards Zhu Yuanzhang's camp. The three flags were whistled by the morning breeze in front.
Because it was a ship against the wind, the three warships were a little slower than usual. In addition, the shape of the dragon ship was several meters tall. Although it was smoky, it could be seen clearly. After some investigation, everyone discovered the warship that Zhu Yuanzhang had just entered. However, due to the wind direction, although the dragon ship was large, it was difficult to move in a straight line. Several meters away from Zhu Yuanzhang's dragon ship, a corner formed. The incoming feather arrows fell halfway and were blown down by the morning wind.
Opposite, on Zhu Yuanzhang's dragon boat, Chang Yuchun stood with a knife, and the slightly damp morning breeze blew his face. He didn't notice it at all, but his eyes were all the movements of the lake, and suddenly a giant fell into his eyes. He did not immediately alarm Zhu Yuanzhang, but just squinted his eyes for a while. Seeing that the giant was approaching little by little, he still squinted his eyes without making a sound.
Zhu Yuanzhang, behind him, repeated the work he was doing every day, checking the specific situation of each ship, the soldiers on the ship, detecting the damage of the ship, the flag bearer lifted and lowered various flags according to various instructions, commanded other soldiers, and carried out the ship, steered, controlled sails, inspected the course, the weapons, food and grass on the ship, and everything was carried out in an orderly manner.
Chang Yuchun stood at the bow of the boat for a long time, and when he saw the huge creature gradually falling into his eyes was a dragon boat, Chang Yuchun was shocked, but soon felt relieved. Since the war reached a deadlock, both sides often sent ships to patrol Poyang Lake, so when they saw three enemy troops in the shape of a finished shape, Chang Yuchun was not panicked. After all, there was an army of 200,000 behind him. Even if he wanted to rush in, he had to consider the consequences. Therefore, after a while, Chang Yuchun chose to remain calm.
Three dragon boats rushed towards the wind. Although they were ready early in the morning, Zhu Yuanzhang's 200,000 army had to make Zhang Dingbian nervous. Moreover, on these three boats, there was the current emperor's younger brother, who was deeply in love. If he accidentally fell into Zhu Yuanzhang's enemy, there would be one, even if he was Chen Youliang's sworn brother, he would not let him go.
Besides, this time he was determined to do his own thing. Not only did he fail and could not get Chen Youliang's understanding, but more importantly, except for the three thousand men on the ship, no one knew about the rest of the army. Once he fell into the enemy, he would not have thought of a better result except for his death. However, if he shot Zhu Yuanzhang in one move, his contribution would be shocking. Zhu Yuanzhang's 200,000 army collapsed in an instant, and Jinling can be obtained, Jiangnan can be obtained, and the world can be obtained! The imperial map can be obtained! "
Thinking of this, Zhang Dingbian felt uneasy and gritted his teeth. If he was besieged by Zhu Yuanzhang, even if he abandoned the three thousand soldiers on the ship, he would still shoot Zhu Yuanzhang in one fell swoop, thereby saving his success and low morale. Success or failure will be achieved in one fell swoop. Zhu Yuanzhang had him shoot himself.
After some urging, although he was walking against the wind, the dragon boat was much faster. The canvas of the three-masted dragon boat accelerated, and quickly approached the Zhu army camp.
Chang Yuchun stood at the bow of the boat and looked at it for a while. The rising sun slowly dyed the entire Poyang Lake a bright red color, but in this way, the visibility of Poyang Lake, which was thousands of miles away, became much better. Standing on the bow of the boat, three giants galloping towards him, he could see clearly. Standing on the bow of the boat, Zhang Dingbian at the bow of the boat, the Han army soldiers, artillery, powerful crossbows, big swords, and long spears, were so clear that Chang Yuchun finally couldn't hold back. He turned around eagerly and said aloud: "Master, the Han army is attacking!"
