Chapter 73 Breaking the game

In the mansion of the King of Han, Zhang Xiaowu walked around inside with his hands behind his back, looking at the map on the wall from time to time.

Suddenly, the guards outside came in and reported: "Young Master, the guards at the city top in the east reported that there were several small boats cruising in the nearby waters."

Zhang Xiaowu stepped to the edge of the map, tiptoed, moved back and forth with his fingers at the east side of the city, and murmured: "With such heavy rain, how could a small boat appear? What are they going to do?"

He was stunned for a while, and suddenly said to the guards: "Go and invite the King of Han and the Grand Master back immediately."

Not long after, Chen Li rode a BMW and Zou Pusheng back from the city in the rain.

Chen Li took off the rain gear and hurriedly said, "Have you found anything?"

"No."

"No?" Chen Li said a little disappointed, "No, I didn't realize that you couldn't be so anxious."

Zhang Xiaowu said: "It's not a big discovery. The guards reported that I always felt something strange when I found a suspicious boat on the water surface of the east side of the city, so I wanted to discuss it with the King of Han and the Grand Master."

Zou Pusheng looked at the map, and used his fingers to strode on it for a while, frowned and said, "It's so heavy rain, are those small boats the enemy's whistleboats?"

Zhang Xiaowu rubbed his forehead and said, "The war has lasted for two days. Ordinary people will never dare to approach the city at this time, which means it must have been sent by the enemy."

"Of course." Zou Pusheng said, "Then what exactly do they want to do?"

Chen Li thought for a while and said, "Will they be exploring the way?"

Zhang Xiaowu said: "Even if that's right, then what will they do after they find out?"

Zou Pusheng said: "Of course, the sergeant explored the way for the army."

"A large army?" Zhang Xiaowu repeatedly said these two words, "What large army will be on the water?"

Chen Li said: "Zhu Yuanzhang defeated Poyang Lake, and their current naval army is the strongest in Jiangnan."

Zhang Xiaowu said: "Does that mean that Zhu Yuanzhang's navy will also come to the city?"

Zou Pusheng walked around the house for a few times and suddenly shouted: "No, the heavy rain has been falling for two consecutive days, and the water surface in the east of the city must have risen a lot. At this time, those large warships can drive directly to the city."

Zhang Xiaowu said: "Even if they get to the city, the city walls are close to the water, how will they use to attack the city?"

"Is this..."

Zou Pusheng couldn't say that Nanchang City had never heard of siegeing the city on the water.

Chen Li said: "I have never seen their warships. Can they pose a fatal threat to us?"

Zou Pusheng said: "Most of their warships were seized from the hands of the former kings, and the largest warships were three stories taller than three floors, and they were seven or eight feet tall."

Zhang Xiaowu said: "Seven or eight feet tall is about the same height as our city."

Chen Li said: "If these warships lean under the city wall, wouldn't they all jump to the city wall from above?"

"Impossible." Zou Pushengdao, "Even if these warships can get close to the city, the hull is at least five meters away from the city head. Who can cross it?"

"What about them borrowing tools?" Chen Li said casually.

"Tools? Ladder? Springboard?" Zhang Xiaowu kept muttering with his head in his arms.

Suddenly, he grabbed Chen Li's hand, his face flushed with excitement, and shouted: "I understand, I understand."

Zou Pusheng asked in surprise: "What do you understand?"

Zhang Xiaowu pulled the two of them to the front of the map, pointed to the blue area, and said, "If Zhu Yuanzhang accidentally drove the tall warships under the city wall and then used the bridge boards that had been prepared as a road, then their soldiers would be able to rush into the Nanchang field from the ship without any obstacles."

"Then kill the city gate that is attacking. If the city gate breaks through the inside and then merges inside and outside, hundreds of thousands of troops will be able to enter in just one hour..."

He suddenly stopped talking and looked at Chen Li with a pale face.

Chen Li and Zou Pusheng were shocked after hearing this. It turned out that Zhu Yuanzhang's unconforming tactics were just an illusion, and their real killer move was on the water surface in the east.

Zou Pusheng said incredibly: "Did they have already calculated that there will be heavy rain these two days and that the water volume is large enough to carry huge warships?"

Zhang Xiaowu shook all over and said, "It must be yes. There has been very little heavy rain in the past few months. The water surface in the east has always been very low. How could we think that the enemy's navy would attack from the east? They must have masters who can observe the celestial phenomena and geography, otherwise they would never have calculated so accurately, nor have they already formulated such a sinister tactic."

Chen Li said: "Didn't Zhu Yuanzhang's military advisor Liu Bowen understand astronomy and geography? What's so strange about this?"

Zhang Xiaowu shook his head and said, "I haven't heard of this person."

"Have you heard of it? No, such a famous person has been praised as a god in later generations, but you don't know?"

Chen Li couldn't understand it.

Zhang Xiaowu laughed and said, "In the future, how can we ordinary people understand the secrets of heaven? The King of Han respects us too highly."

Chen Li suddenly realized that although Liu Bowen's military strategy, hexagrams and divination were all excellent, and he could rule the world and understand the public's opinion, it was also his reputation after his death.

Although Liu Bowen was shocking at this time, the people who knew him were limited after all. Perhaps his talents were derived from myths in later generations, and in fact they were not that mysterious.

Zou Pusheng hurriedly said, "Let's continue to study, there is a problem that I haven't figured out."

“What’s the problem?”

"When will they attack? This is the key point. Also, how can we defend against the enemy?"

Chen Li smiled and said, "As long as you understand Zhu Chongba's intentions, it will be difficult to deal with the next step."

Zhang Xiaowu said: "Seeing that the enemy's offensive is getting more and more fierce, they must have arrived at the attack late at night, because this is the most exhausted and difficult time for people, and our sentinels must have hid under the city to shelter from the rain."

Chen Li patted Zhang Xiaowu on the shoulder with a palm and said, "That's right."

His slap was quite powerful, so Zhang Xiaowu could not bear it, and he fell to the ground in an instant.

Chen Li hurriedly pulled him up and said, "I'm sorry, brother, I missed my mistake."

Zhang Xiaowu touched his shoulder that was about to be slapped and said, "The King of Han is so powerful that he can even kill someone at once."

Chen Li smiled and said, "You have made great contributions this time, and I want to reward you very much."

Zhang Xiaowu said: "Forget rewards, let's make a combat plan as soon as possible."

The three of them gathered on the map and thought about how to mobilize people and how to play. They all planned to stop working on them.

After that, Zhang Xiaowu looked at Chen Li and said, "I have another question to ask the King of Han."

"you say."

Zhang Xiaowu hesitated for a moment and said, "The King of Han broke Zhu Yuanzhang's plan this time, should he continue to defend the city or..."

Chen Li was stunned for a moment and said, "Yes, we have seen through their conspiracy. If Zhu Yuanzhang surrounded him and did not fight, what should we do?"

The three of them were silent for a long time, and Zhang Xiaowu said: "The best way is to withdraw."

"Where to go?" Zou Pusheng asked.

Zhang Xiaowu looked at Chen Li and said, "Have the King of Han considered my previous plan?"
