At the beginning, Qin Shi Huang traveled to my home

Chapter 258 Battle of Poyang Lake (1)

If it weren't for the arrow shot by the archer Chang Yuchun, which hit Zhang Dingbian in time, I think there would be no Ming Dynasty in history, right?

If Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty had died in that war, it is hard to say who would have established the next dynasty.

This shocked many people in front of the sky. It seemed that this war was really dangerous. The Ming Taizu almost died.

The emperors expressed deep sympathy for Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty.

During the reign of Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang also lamented, "The battle at Poyang Lake was indeed dangerous. We almost died there. Fortunately, there was the arrow shot by Prince Kaiping. Otherwise, there would not be the Ming Dynasty today."

Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty still feels a little scared whenever he thinks of the battle at Poyang Lake. That was the closest he had ever been to death.

And if he loses that battle, he really won't be able to get up again.

Empress Ma also held Emperor Taizu's hand with heartache and comforted him.

The sons were even more curious and scared. They didn't expect it to be so dangerous. Their father almost died that year.

Princess Chang was in her own palace and felt upset when she heard about the battle of Poyang Lake. She knew something about this matter.

It was a pity that her father passed away. Thinking about her own future, she would die when her son died, and the son of Concubine Lu became the emperor. This was unacceptable to Chang.

This time, it’s impossible. Her son will not die. With the little fairy around, he can’t die.

Xu Da also lamented that "the battle at Poyang Lake was indeed dangerous, and we were just a step away from defeat."

That's not just a simple defeat, it's a life-and-death battle.

"Yes, it was very dangerous. The Battle of Poyang Lake was a strategic decisive battle with Chen Youliang.

It was also the largest naval battle in China in the Middle Ages.

It was a battle where the outnumbered side defeated the larger force, with 20 troops fighting against 60 troops, and in the end, they narrowly won against Chen Youliang's side.

In this situation, you can guess how difficult it is without me saying anything, right?" Li Wu said, 20 people are fighting against 60 people.

We still won, even though it was a narrow win, but it was still a win.

Of course, there are many battles in history where the outnumbered side won.

Xue Rengui and Huo Qubing looked at Xu Da at the same time. This General Xu was indeed powerful.

Of course, they also knew that it could not be the credit of Xu Da alone, but also the credit of other generals of the Ming Dynasty.

However, the fact that the Ming Dynasty was able to win the war shows that it has a very good history.

I think the 20 troops were almost all the troops at that time.

Fighting against 60, I never dared to think, I never dared to think, but I actually won.

Barrage

Wang Jian, the general of the Qin Dynasty: This, a naval battle, even I am not confident.

Grand Commander Zhou Yu: Although I am good at naval battles, I have no guarantee of winning if I fight against 60 troops.

Zhou Yu was quite good at naval battles, and he defeated Cao Cao with a smaller force in the Battle of Red Cliffs.

However, if it was the Battle of Poyang Lake, Zhou Yu could not guarantee victory, because fighting against 60 people was not something that could be won easily.

So he had some admiration for Xu Da and the others, and did not dare to do anything. He wanted to listen carefully to how they won the war.

You can also gain some experience, and you won’t feel that the opponent is not powerful just because they are from a later dynasty.

Geng Mingchu of the Song Dynasty: I am not sure about this at all.

Geng Mingchu used to be a fisherman. He made a living on the water and fished since he was young, and he developed a lot of underwater skills.

Later, he served as Yue Fei's subordinate and made many contributions. Although he was good at naval battles, he was not sure of anything.

When the people in front of the sky curtain saw these barrages, many generals who were good at naval battles came out and said that if they were asked to fight, they would have no confidence at all, and no one dared to make any big promises.

If it's a land battle, there might be some chance of success, but not a naval battle.

So many generals are discussing this issue.

Sky

Hearing Li Wu's words, Xu Da just smiled. It was indeed difficult to fight, but there was no need to say more.

"In 1357, Ni Wenjun, who joined forces with Xu Shouhui, wanted to kill Xu Shouhui, but failed and was killed by Chen Youliang.

Chen Youliang also took this opportunity to seize Xu Shouhui's military power, and his power grew rapidly.

Later, Zhao Pusheng, who defected to Chen Youliang, captured Chizhou, which was held by Zhu Yuanzhang.

Chizhou fell and was captured by Zhao Pusheng.

Zhu Yuanzhang's people were definitely not going to accept this, so they sent you, Senior Xu Da, to take back Chizhou.

At that time, Zhao Pusheng was attacking Taiping. When he learned that you, Senior Xu Da, were about to capture Chizhou, he fled.

Senior Xu Da, after you recaptured Chizhou, you also captured a number of enemy troops.

The most important thing is that we captured a lot of enemy warships.

For this, Senior Xu Da, you were conferred the title of General Fengguo.

Later, Senior Xu Da, you used a strategy of sowing discord to make Chen Youliang kill Zhao Pusheng.

After Zhao Pusheng's death, there was no one guarding the Congyang Water Fort, so Senior Xu Da took the opportunity to capture it.

Chen Youliang on this side considered that the terrain in Anqing was difficult to attack, so he counterattacked Chizhou.

After you, Senior Xu Da, learned the news, you personally led your troops to ambush Chen Youliang.

Chen Youliang was attacked from both inside and outside by you, Senior Xu Da, and suffered heavy losses.

Now it's a complete fight to the death.

Of course, even if there was no battle in Chizhou, it would still be a fight to the death, after all, they were all trying to seize the base, no matter if there was hatred or not, they were all trying to kill the other party," said Li Wu.

There's nothing we can do, war is just that cruel.

"There is no hatred between us. We just serve different masters. This is the way to fight for the world," Xu Da said with a look of neither joy nor sadness.

However, the situations of Xue Rengui, Huo Qubing and Xu Da are naturally different.

Huo Qubing really had a grudge against the Huns. The Huns were so arrogant that they did whatever they wanted on the border of the Han Dynasty every day, burning and looting. How could the Han Dynasty tolerate this?

As for Xue Rengui, he was fighting with other tribes, not with the Tang Dynasty itself.

As for Xu Da, he was trying to seize the world, and he fought not only against the Han people but also against the Yuan people.

Fight with various forces just to compete for the final victory.

All those who were fighting for the world in front of the sky nodded. Of course, they didn’t know each other and had no hatred. They were fighting for the world. If they didn’t fight, would they wait for others to fight them?

Li Wu sighed. After all, they lived in a peaceful era, so they couldn't bear to watch war. They just felt it was too cruel and too terrible.

Those strings of numbers are all human lives.

"Chen Youliang was extremely angry about the defeat in Chizhou.

He directly led the navy across Chizhou and planned to attack Taiping.

He also asked people to contact Zhang Shicheng to attack Yingtian Prefecture from both sides.

As soon as Chen Youliang arrived outside Yingtian City, he was attacked from both inside and outside by you, Senior Xu Da.

This time Chen Youliang failed to achieve his goal of a pincer attack and was instead attacked from both sides.

Chen Youliang suffered heavy losses again and fled in panic.

And you, Senior Xu Da, took advantage of the victory and captured Taiping, Xinzhou and other places.

Senior Xu Da, you not only have to fight against Chen Youliang, but you also have to fight Zhang Shicheng from time to time. It's really too busy." Chen Youliang alone is not easy to deal with, and Zhang Shicheng makes trouble from time to time.

Xu Da was so busy that he wished he could split himself into several parts to fight against him.
