Chapter 853 : Longwan Trap
The cheerful laughter spread quickly in the quiet night. The originally nervous soldiers were infected by the laughter and let go of their vigilant hearts. The atmosphere relaxed for a moment.
At this moment, a small boat galloped quickly, and stood outside, bowing to Chen Youliang with his fists and said, "Speak to Your Majesty... The Han Dynasty, the naval commander Chen Youren has led 10,000 troops to land in Longwan, north of Xinhekou, and defeated the troops stationed here in one fell swoop. He sent a special position to inform Your Majesty!"
"Haha, Youren has come ashore, okay... OK, Longwan... I'll go ashore from Longwan and head straight to Jinling City!" After learning this news, Chen Youliang was even more calm and immediately shouted to the army behind him: "Sirs, Zhu Yuanzhang is as timid as a mouse, and there are not many people. We will rush to Longwan immediately!"
"Cruise to Longwan! Hurry to Longwan!" The 300,000 troops shouted together, and the sound was like thunder. Xiao Yun felt his eardrums trembled in the reeds.
He touched his eardrums, and when the back team of the 300,000 troops changed to the front team, the front team became the back team, and began to retreat from the river surface of Jiangdong Bridge, he turned around and whispered to Mao Xiang: "Just hurry to Lion Mountain, and then he said that the enemy has entered the circle!"
"Yes!" Mao Xiang responded, turned around and came out of the reeds, and soon his figure disappeared into the night.
Lulong Mountain was facing the Yangtze River in the west. Emperor Yuan of Jin, Sima Rui, first crossed the river. Seeing that the mountains were continuous, it was almost like Lulong in the north, so he named it "Lulong Mountain".
At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang was condescending to the top and closely followed everything in Longwan. He did not dare to let go of any disturbances.
He fought all the way from the cavalry in Haozhou, and his combat experience was extremely rich. Now he knew that Chen Youren's soldiers were just small-scale fights, so he decisively instructed Shao Rong, who was stationed in the north of the city to give up defending Longwan. The purpose was to use this as bait to lure the big fish behind Chen Youren.
Therefore, Longwan was soon occupied by Chen Youren. Looking at the tall buildings outside Longwan, Zhu Yuanzhang knew that this was just a small show, and that there would be no such small show in the future. Chen Youliang's large ships were definitely more than so many.
The dragon of the river is blocked, and the mountains are knocked down. The turtles of the river will also enter here. The army of 300,000 and more than 10,000 large ships will be fought, and it is likely to be a shocking battle.
For this reason, he did not dare to be careless. Once he lost here, he had no way out. He only had a way out of death. He did not want to die. So he took advantage of the night to patrol the entire army, mobilized all soldiers, and prepared for all ambush. At night, Lulong Mountain was as quiet as water, but it made people feel sick of mosquitoes flying back and forth, and more on the faces, wrists, legs, and even lips of many soldiers in the grass. However, no one made a sound in the huge Lulong Mountain, let alone one waved to drive away mosquitoes. Everything was so quiet that it made people feel depressed. An invisible murderous aura filled the grass on Lu Xiang.
However, the wait in the middle of the night did not wait for Chen Youliang's ship. Until dawn, a figure at the foot of the mountain was as fast as lightning and quickly leaped in the mountains. He gasped like a cow, his expression progressed. The veins of the right hand holding the knife were protruding, and sweat was pouring on his forehead. Although the path he was walking was rugged, he was not afraid at all. His steps were like flat ground. Soon he flashed and entered a grass.
"Brother Zhu...Brother Zhu..." A low call was heard, and a rumble sound came from the grass, followed by a calm voice: "Is it Brother Xiao?"
"Yes, yes! I am Xiao Yun." After hearing the sound, Xiao Yun was delighted. He used the moonlight to search slowly in the thatched grass half a person high for a while, but saw a rock in a thin grass. The rock was slightly abrupt, and Zhu Yuanzhang showed half of his face from it.
Xiao Yun whipped like a snake, panting, "Brother Zhu... Chen Youliang was indeed fooled and was heading towards Longwan!"
"Take it seriously..." Zhu Yuanzhang said in surprise.
Xiao Yun nodded and said, "It's true!"
"Good come, good come!" Zhu Yuanzhang looked a little happy, "Brother Xiao has worked hard, let me take a look!"
The two stood on the protruding rocks and pushed away the lush thatch. Looking around, the moonlight shone slanted. Not far from Longwan, there were many dragon boats rushing towards him quickly. A large flag was erected on the dragon boat headed. The big "Chen" word was blown whistling. Zhu Yuanzhang hurriedly leaned forward, stared at the three-story large boat, and murmured to himself: "It's really here!"
I had long heard that Chen Youliang's naval dragon ship was extremely huge. At that time, I thought it was just a group of soldiers who boasted about it, and deliberately exaggerated Chen Youliang's strength. Now, as I saw with my own eyes, more than a hundred large ships were like tall buildings, with three floors above and below, and were magnificent. Only then did Zhu Yuanzhang believe that the rumors at that time were not false.
Looking at the dragon ship that almost monopolized the entire river, Zhu Yuanzhang's brows jumped, and a strange light shone in his eyes. He stared at the dragon ship in front of him, "a few feet tall, decorated with elixir paint, each ship three layers, carriages and horses were walking around, and the boxes were wrapped in iron. There were at least ten thousand firearms and soldiers on the ship, archers, firearms and countless chariots and horses, and were rushing towards Longwan.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked motionless for a while, and when the dragon boat stopped at the ferry in Longwan, he raised his hand and ordered: "Everyone obeys the order and stand by on standby. If anyone commits a private move, those who violate the order will be killed!"
There was silent in the grass. At dawn, three loud noises came from Chen Youliang's dragon boat. The army on the boat began to disembark and boarded the Longwan land. The whistling sounds, horse sounds, weapons, and commands quickly rendered the silent Longwan as lively as water.
In the grass, Zhu Yuanzhang stared at the army of hundreds of thousands without moving. The heavy breathing made people feel his nervousness. The right hand holding the knife tightly held the hilt without moving at all. A pair of murderous gazes were staring at everything in Longwan.
"Get ashore! Come on! Come on!" Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but murmured in his heart. It was a kind of joy after seeing the prey fall into his trap.
"Transmission troops! Send orders!" As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang's order fell, there was a burst of sound in the grass. Under his orders, one after another, the order flags changed, and the orders were accurately delivered to the generals of the five-way army hidden behind the Lime Mountain, Yingtiannan City, Dasheng Pass. The five-way army had hundreds of thousands of troops. Under the changes of his order flag, An Ran didn't understand, and let the Han army surge into Longwan like a tide, but it was completely motionless.
