At that time, you can expand your power and become the master of the world!

Of course, one person needs to cooperate in this, and that is Kang Maocai.

According to the agreement with Kang Maocai, they would meet at the wooden bridge near the Dongjiang River, then dismantle the wooden bridge and enter Jinling City directly along the waterway.

However, when Chen Youliang led his army to the Dongjiang River, he found that there was no wooden bridge.

"Where's the wooden bridge!?"

"Where is the wooden bridge?"

Chen Youliang grabbed the envoy who contacted Kang Maocai and questioned him fiercely.

The envoy also looked confused in the night, "Marshal, this is it. I remember this was a wooden bridge, but for some reason, it has become a stone bridge now!"

"Are you sure?" Chen Youliang couldn't help but ask.

"I'm sure, sir!"

Chen Youliang pushed the messenger away and shouted towards the bridge: "Lao Kang, Lao Kang!"

"I'm Lao Chen, where are you?"

He called three times in succession, but there was no response except for the sound of frogs and toads chirping.

Several generals also thought that they might have gone to the wrong place because it was too dark at night, and they all suggested that they should continue searching.

However, Chen Youliang was so vigilant. After such a long delay, he had already realized that something was wrong.

"Something is wrong!"

"Either Lao Kang tricked me, or Lao Kang was exposed!"

Chen Youliang's heart sank and he immediately gave the order.

"Give me the order to retreat immediately!"

Chen Youliang urged sternly, and the entire fleet suddenly fell into a hurried retreat.

At this moment, there was a sudden roar, a bright light pierced the dark night, shot straight into the sky, and then exploded into a dazzling firework.

"Kill!"

"Capture Chen Youliang alive!"

"Kill Chen Youliang!"

The area that was originally pitch dark suddenly burst into shouts of killing!

I saw countless torches lighting up from the sky above the Dongjiang River, covering the sky above the Dongjiang River in an instant, like falling stars, flying towards the fleet.

"not good!"

Chen Youliang's expression instantly became solemn.

It all happened so suddenly.

Their fleet was actually surrounded!

"Abandon the attack on Jinling immediately and withdraw!"

Chen Youliang issued the order decisively.

The fleet retreated immediately, but these fireballs seemed to have eyes, and their hit rate was very high!

Some even directly hit the ship next to Chen Youliang.

"No! Retreat quickly!"

Chen Youliang shouted loudly.

He also knew that the consequences of such a hasty escape would be that many ships would collide with each other and be destroyed, but the situation was critical and he could no longer care about so much.

He decided to abandon some of his ships and immediately led his army to escape Jinling.

As soon as his thoughts came to an end, he heard a loud bang, a ship was instantly hit by a fireball, and the ship suddenly burst into flames.

"Damn it!"

Seeing this scene, Chen Youliang cursed angrily and immediately ordered to move forward at full speed.

"Quick! Speed ​​up, faster!"

Chen Youliang kept urging the crew. He knew that if this continued, if a ship was burned and blocked the channel, he would not be able to escape even if he wanted to, and he would definitely not be able to escape by then.

However, even so, the fleet still moved forward extremely slowly.

"Quick! Quick!"

Chen Youliang kept shouting loudly. His forehead was dripping with sweat and his eyes were red.

The trebuchets and artillery deployed by Zhu Han in advance were already ready for attack. At this time, they were already firing incendiary projectiles at Chen Youliang's fleet on the river.

The flaming projectiles fell like raindrops on the river, leaving Chen Youliang's flagship ship and escort ships riddled with holes.

"Boom!" A huge explosion sounded. Chen Youliang's flagship ship was blown to pieces, and streams of black smoke rose into the sky.

"Damn Kang Maocai!"

Chen Youliang cursed and jumped onto another warship under the escort of his own soldiers. Then he raised the sail and fled back desperately. However, before they could escape far, they were attacked again. The tall man was attacked again.

The mast was shattered and broken, and the battleship shook violently. Chen Youliang fell down on the deck, his face turned pale.

"Quick! Speed ​​up, hurry up, hurry up!"

Chen Youliang urgently urged his men to speed up and kept yelling.

Suddenly, a soldier pointed at the bright river not far away and said loudly, "Marshal, there are enemy troops intercepting us!"

Chen Youliang looked in the direction of his finger, and suddenly saw a burly man with a resolute face standing on a warship on the river, his eyes fixed on their warship.

That posture seemed to want to destroy all Chen Youliang's ships.

The coming general turned out to be Kang Maocai!

"Kang Maocai, what on earth do you want to do!"

Chen Youliang finally couldn't restrain the anger in his heart and shouted at Kang Maocai.

"Hahaha!"

"Chen Youliang, I advise you to surrender obediently!"

Kang Maocai stepped onto the warship and shouted loudly.

"snort!"

Chen Youliang snorted coldly and said: "If you want me, Chen Youliang, to surrender, you Kang Maocai don't have the qualifications!"

Kang Maocai was furious when he heard this and immediately led his army to launch a surprise attack on Chen Youliang.

However, the two warships next to Chen Youliang fought tooth and nail to protect him and blocked Kang Maocai's attack.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang's army still had the advantage in the entire battlefield situation.

Seeing the right opportunity, Chen Youliang led the remaining navy troops to break through the siege and fled towards the broad Yangtze River.

Behind Chen Youliang, in the Dongjiang River, there were flames soaring into the sky and shouts of killing!

A major defeat ended Chen Youliang's ambition to annex Jiangnan.

These soldiers also looked shocked.

"Marshal, what should we do? Should we return to Chizhou?"

A lieutenant approached Chen Youliang and asked in a low voice.

"We can't go back. Once we go back, we will be surrounded by Zhu Yuanzhang. We can't defend Chizhou!"

Chen Youliang said calmly.

Under his order, these navy soldiers and horses continued to rush on their way to Hubei, their rear area.

Chen Youliang knew very well that in this battle, his navy suffered extremely serious losses, and he might not be able to fight again in the short term.

However, although Chen Youliang was defeated, he was still strong, and Huguang's strength was still enough to support his revenge.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Moreover, many of his generals and veterans have escaped. These people are his elites. With them, he can quickly train an army again.

Thinking of this, Chen Youliang had hope in his heart.

...

At the same time, in the palace of King Wu in Jinling City, King Zhu Yuanzhang of Wu was summoning the generals to discuss their merits and reward them.

A big victory last night caused Chen Youliang to suffer heavy losses, and he no longer had the strength to challenge.

"King Wu, there is still one Chizhou left, let me take it back!" Xu Da asked for orders.

Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a while, nodded and said: "You take 20,000 troops and horses to capture Chizhou."

"As you command!"
