On June 23 of the 20th year of Zhizheng, that is, 1360 AD, Chen Youliang led his Han army down the Qinhuai River and finally reached Longjiang.

He came to this place that fascinated him and made him crazy.

Behind Jiangdong Bridge is the ancient city that has been sacred to generations of kings - Jinling.

There are water veins coiling outside, mountains and rivers rising inside, tigers crouching and dragons crouching among them, and a decisive battle thousands of miles away. The aura of the emperor is fully displayed. In such a beautiful place, besides me, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, what other place can be more suitable for me to sit?

?

there is none left!

You can't find a more suitable place than here.

After today, this place will be my territory.

From now on, this is my imperial capital, Chen Youliang.

The ancient capital of Jinling, starting from today, the history of this splendid ancient city will write a unique chapter that belongs to me, Chen Youliang.

Full of excitement, excitement, and apprehension, and at the same time that he could not help but be excited in his heart, Chen Youliang ordered people to look for the Jiangdong Bridge mentioned in the letter, which was like a roadblock.

Under the pale moonlight, the huge iron boat slowly moved forward along with the bamboo raft. Water plants were floating in the lake, and a bridge stood in the middle of the lake in the distance.

The sound of wind, the sound of water swaying, the rippling of microwaves,

On the surface of the lake, in the heart, the fighting spirit is high!

When he saw the faintly visible bridge in the lake, and when he saw the reflection of the bridge head floating on the water, Chen Youliang ordered the people to speed up the boating.

At the same time, under the dim and silent white light of the moon, Chen Youliang, who could not hold back his excitement, called out the contact code they had agreed on in advance.

Lao Kang!

Except for a few ripples on the quiet water, there was no response.

Lao Kang!

Except for a few echo transmissions in the humid air, there was still no reply.

Lao Kang!

Under the moonlight, in the light, with surprise rising in his heart, Chen Youliang, who had originally vowed to do so, finally saw the true structure of the bridge after approaching Jiangdong Bridge.

This is not a wooden bridge, and this is not a broken wooden bridge that can be crossed when the wind blows or collapses when people step on it. The brand-new bridge deck with huge rocks standing in front of you is a complete stone bridge from beginning to end.

It is a stone bridge that cannot collapse or be crossed even if you want to hit it with a boat.

It is a huge bridge that has obviously been tampered with. It is terrifyingly tall and wide.

Under the depressing atmosphere and deathly silence, water and grass were surging deep on the lakeshore, but there was no sound of any signal.

After discovering everything in front of him, Chen Youliang finally knew that he had fallen into a trap.

I finally realized I had been fooled.

Kang Maocai, this loser, had completely deceived him.

I knew that I had made a big mistake that I absolutely shouldn't have made regarding Kang Maocai, a loser.

The mistake was: he trusted Kang Maocai too easily.

A person who stays in the enemy camp for too long may undergo some changes to a greater or lesser extent.

But what Chen Youliang also refused to accept was that since this was a trap to frame him, why didn't he see the enemy troops appear for so long? Since it was a trap, he should have waited until he entered the ambush circle to catch him by surprise, but look now

But there is no movement, what is going on?

Could it be that I got the wrong location?

Or is there another Jiangdong Bridge here?

Or could it be that Lao Kang originally mentioned Shiqiao in the letter, but he was careless and made a mistake?

When Chen Youliang couldn't figure out the specific reason, he decided that no matter what the specific reason was, this place was an ominous place after all, and it was better to leave this place as soon as possible. Leaving this place that made his back feel cold and his whole body trembled was the best plan.

.

After realizing that something had changed, Chen Youliang immediately changed his strategy and asked all ships, soldiers and horses, and all available provisions and equipment to retreat quickly, away from Jiangdong Bridge, a place where he had already been deceived and was even more afraid of falling into a trap.

.

He also ordered his younger brother Chen Youren, who was in charge of the rear, to lead his 10,000 men to change the water route to the land route, and force a landing at Longwan, north of Xinhekou, which is closest to Jiangdong Bridge. He would first establish a position and prepare for the subsequent forcible attack on Yingtian from the land route.

.

In the afternoon of the next day, Chen Youliang led his Han army and began to land at Longwan.

Things are developing in an orderly manner according to Zhu Yuanzhang's plan.

After all the Han troops entered the Longwan ambush circle, Zhu Yuanzhang, who had been unable to bear it for a long time, finally waved the red flag.

The bright red flag is like a bright beam of light in the dark night, extremely dazzling under the harsh sunlight.

Suddenly, a bright light protruded from the top of the mountain on one side. Under the bright light, the red flag was put away, and the yellow flag appeared. The two flags lit up one after another. In a moment, the originally silent ground was followed by Chen Youliang's soldiers and horses, one after another.

The arrow came through the wind, full of death energy, full of murderous intent, full of anger towards Chen Youliang, and came towards him.

At the same time, beams of light burst out, and with the deafening sound of fighting, the originally neat and uniform formation of our side was instantly disrupted.

At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang, who had been holding back for a long time, finally issued the order to attack across the board.

As the order was issued, Zhu Yuanzhang and all his troops swarmed out from all directions.

The first ones to appear were the ambushes of Feng Sheng and Chang Yuchun. They were the soldiers closest to Chen Youliang and were the first to attack Chen Youliang.

What followed was the encircling army led by Xu Da.

After Xu Da, there was Zhu Yuanzhang's navy led by Zhang Desheng and Zhu Hu. Their main responsibility was to destroy Chen Youliang's troops on the waterway and to take Chen Youliang's retreat.

At this time, Longwan was like a huge sack, a giant sack that wanted to bury Chen Youliang and his Han army alive here. Chen Youliang and his soldiers and horses were like being driven to the slaughterhouse one by one and skinned.

The naked pig, with its hair shed, is struggling to find hope of survival.

At this time, Chen Youliang finally understood that all the brilliant moves he thought he had were turned into pawns of others, and that he, the commander-in-chief of the Han Dynasty, would become a pawn of others.

Facing the enemy's constant attacks, facing the chaotic and disorderly formation of our own troops, like a wild boar waiting to be slaughtered, facing the opponent's absolute advantage while being surrounded, it's like being wrapped in a dumpling.

In a dangerous situation, Chen Youliang, the commander-in-chief of the first army, hurriedly issued an order to escape.

When there were enemy troops everywhere and the land route had no advantage at all, Chen Youliang's first thought was the large ship he had left on the shore and was guarded by light troops.

But at this time, Chen Youliang experienced for the first time what it was like to really memorize Chinese characters. With himself running away in a broken army, and with a group of people who were like rats crossing the street shouting and beating and constantly dodging, he finally escaped from the shore and escaped onto the ship.

Only then did everyone discover that the originally high tide had receded, and most of the giant ships were stranded on the beach. The giant ships that they had built with their own hands and were proud of were now like cold tombs.

At this time, they are no longer a fighting tool that they can control at will. At this time, they are lying down and stranded to vent to themselves the slightest dissatisfaction as a tool. This is

Just like his troops and horses, they came with high morale but returned defeated.

At this time, Chen Youliang seemed to have understood a truth.

If you want me to die, I will go crazy;

God wants me to die, which will only increase my sorrow.

Facing the giant ship that was almost completely stranded, and looking back at Zhu Jiajun who was already very close and determined to kill them all without any regrets, Chen Youliang instantly felt his scalp numb and his back chilly.

Today's big ship can no longer ride on it. In order to ensure that his life can be continued, in order to ensure that he retains enough capital, in order to ensure that he retains the strategic capital that he is not afraid of running out of firewood, Chen Youliang once again showed his unique political personality

, he decisively abandoned the big ship he had built with his own hands, forced his way into a small boat that had not yet run aground, and ordered the ship to move forward at full speed to escape Longwan, a place of right and wrong.

As for those soldiers who failed to climb onto the ship, let alone leave the shore, Chen Youliang made a decisive decision.

For these people, abandon them all.

You people have always been loyal to me, and now in this critical time it is time for you to contribute.

As the saying goes: It takes a thousand days to raise an army, but it takes only a short time to deploy it.

I have raised you for so long and given you food for so long. Today is the time for you to make a contribution.

Brothers, hold on, hold on.

Let me run first. When I run far away, it won't matter whether you live or die.

And with the retreat of the commander Chen Youliang, the last trace of fighting spirit of the originally dusty Han army disappeared. Amid the screams, the sound of rout, and the sound of fleeing for their lives, the main force of the Han army panicked and could not choose the way to retreat.

Under the circumstances, they were forced to choose to escape by jumping into the river.

At this time, the weakness of human nature is undoubtedly revealed.

During the rout, the Han army finally climbed onto the ship, thinking that they could save their lives. However, they did not expect that what greeted them was the ruthless betrayal of former brothers and former comrades who also served the same master and belonged to the same sect.

Not long after he climbed up, he was penetrated in the chest by his own army who had the same friendship.

I'm sorry, at this important moment, at this critical moment when you die or I die, our former comrades and former brothers have disappeared. In the face of all the interests that serve to save lives, all slogans are brothers in name only.

Friendship is no longer important.

Now that you occupy the little remaining position, I have to take extreme measures to fight for this only remaining chance of survival.

This is not what you force me to do, but reality forces me to do this.

Don't blame me. If you want to blame, I can only blame you for your bad fate, because only your death can give me hope of life.
To be continued...
