Daming prepares the emperor

Yingtian City, outside the city.

Zhu Yuanzhang is riding on a horse, wearing armor, holding the rein in his hand, looking from afar.

On the opposite side is the mountain wall, with tall and oblique trees growing, supplemented by weeds and flowers, it is a green color.

They could hear Chen Youliang's cannon fire, and they could see his warship, which meant that he had indeed encountered obstacles at the Jiangdong Bridge, and had no choice but to turn back and run to Longwan to land.

"Berwin, look at our logo, he repaired a good thing for us, it's well repaired, and it's strong!"

What else could Liu Ji do, in front of the father who boasted about his son, he could only nod in agreement - as a half-master, he was of course very satisfied in his heart.

This bridge not only frustrated Chen Youliang's prestige, but also made him lose the benefits of huge ships and tall ships - he could no longer let soldiers directly attack the city wall from the ship like he attacked Taiping, and more importantly, since the ship could not From the Qinhuai River, you can only come to Longwan.

Come to the ambush that Longwan has already prepared!

The enemy is at present, the rusty smell of warfare and the faint smell of blood, as well as the sound of the rushing river and the collision of the huge fleet against the shore, all rush towards the face along the mountain wind, rolling and roaring, mixing into a huge blood-red sea. Air floats above the sky.

Liu Bowen looked up at the weather in the sky and knew that this must be a big battle.

As for Zhu Yuanzhang, he was quietly watching Chen Youliang's big ships known as "Huangjianglong", "Bumping Mountain" and "Crash Duanjiang" gradually approaching the land.

The name is not elegant, but it is very simple and real. Some of the ships even have second and third decks, equipped with artillery and sails, majestic and majestic, like islands.

And when they sailed on the river, they were numerous and dense, like a herd of migrating cattle.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang had no expression on his face, the corners of his mouth were already tense, and his eyes were like two long knives stuck in the snow, entering the battlefield.

"Wu Ce."

The man beside Zhu Yuanzhang bowed his head and listened to the order.

"Go and tell Chang Yuchun and Zhang Desheng, tell them, we are ready to make dumplings!"

"Yes!" Wu Ce galloped his horse along the hillside.

"Berwen." Zhu Yuanzhang smiled, "I remember you said that when the two armies are at war, no spells can be used."

"Yes." Liu Ji nodded and said, "If monks can intervene in the battle at will, they only need to attract floods or plagues, and there is no need to fight. But there are still very small exceptions."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, "Chen Youliang must have done what happened to our daughter before. Do you think he has any evil ideas this time?"

Liu Ji frowned and said, "I don't think so. The main battlefield is still here. If you lose in Longwan, no matter what you do in Yingtian, you will fall short. Chen Youliang should not do such a meaningless and brainless thing."

"We don't think so, but there are contingencies in everything."

"Then... the minister will go to the people at the Town Demon Office to have a look."

"No need!" Zhu Yuanzhang raised his hand to stop him, "Let Biaoer do it."

Liu Ji was still a little worried and hesitant.

But Zhu Yuanzhang laughed loudly: "Our son, we know in our hearts, that little bastard is smart, you can relax."

He was obviously the one who started the talk, and then ended it for himself. Liu Ji deeply suspected that it was just a trick he picked up to praise his son.

He smiled helplessly. Just as he was about to say something about the military arrangement, he seemed to notice something and looked towards a boat.

The boat is spacious, beautiful and huge.But in the fleet, it is just an ordinary ship.

But there was a chair on the deck of this ship, and two faceless paper figurines stood beside the chair, each holding a paper umbrella, supporting the person sitting on the chair.

These two paper figurines are scary enough, but the people they serve are even scarier. Just looking at them will make you pee your pants.

This person's face was pale, as white as a dead cold gray sky after a heavy rain, lifeless.His face was pale, but he was actually wearing a jet-black dress, which showed the strangeness of his complexion. Just looking at it made one's heart go numb.

This person seems to be made of paper.

"... sorcery."

Zhu Yuanzhang tilted his head: "What did you say?"

"Someone on board knows sorcery." Liu Ji frowned, "This sorcery seems to gather yin energy, Marshal, look—"

"Over that ship, there are obviously more dark clouds."

Zhu Yuanzhang squinted his eyes and saw the difference. There were not many clouds in the sky, and they were all white. Only that one was slightly black, conspicuous like mud marks on the snow.

"This person knows magic and can affect the battle situation?"

"Even if it is sorcery, karma must be followed. For such a big battle, unless he wants to suffer from the thunderstorm..."

"Heavenly thunder? Can he change the situation of the battle after enduring the heavenly thunder?"

Liu Ji said decisively: "No, this person will die suddenly on the spot."

"That's fine." Zhu Yuanzhang stared at the main ship, "Just look at him more, and let us know if there is any situation."

After saying this, he pulled the reins, clamped his legs, turned the horse and went down the hillside, leaving only Liu Ji on top watching the river.

------

Time passed to not so long ago.

Chen Youliang first led the fleet down the Qinhuai River to Jiangdong Bridge.

Kang Maocai told him that there is a wooden bridge, as long as it is smashed, he can drive straight into Yingtian, and when the time comes, the inside and the outside will be combined, and victory will be no problem.

When the place arrived, Chen Youliang's call to Kang Maocai was heard on the river, but there was no response to the call, and he and the generals were surprised to find that the wooden bridge had turned into a stone bridge.

So they could only go to Longwan.

Then the timeline goes back again.

Moments after Zhu Yuanzhang went down the mountain, drums sounded everywhere, and then the yellow flag was unfurled, and the ambush soldiers rushed out.

The originally invincible ship became a burden at this time. The narrow terrain of Longwan happened to jam the ship, making it impossible for his soldiers to disembark.

The well-prepared Zhu Jun quickly suppressed Chen Jun by virtue of his geographical advantages, and then climbed up the boat one by one, falling into those "crashing into the broken mountains" and "blocking the broken rivers", killing all the enemy troops without leaving behind.

Thousands of soldiers fell from the boat, fell into the water and struggled, and the sound of plopping was endless, much like dumplings being put into the pot during the Chinese New Year.

Chen Youliang's anger outweighed his anxiety at this time, he knew he had been cheated, if Kang Maocai could appear in front of him at this time, even if he bit him, he would tear him into pieces.

"Zhang Dingbian! Zhang Dingbian!" he roared.

A burly and blood-stained man pushed aside the soldiers on both sides, jumped over the corpses on the ground and walked quickly, "What's the matter, Your Majesty?"

"How long until the tide ebbs?"

Zhang Ding looked at the sky, his face was as ugly as that dark cloud, and estimated: "There is still about an hour."

"You must return to Jiangzhong before that, do you hear me?"

Zhang Ding cupped his fists and said, "Observe the order!"

Just as he was about to leave, Chen Youliang stopped him again, gritted his teeth and said, "Prepare another boat!"

What to do with a boat?

Zhang Dingbian was stunned for a while before he understood what he meant, his face became ugly, he nodded vigorously and said: "Yes!"

In an instant, another fire arrow pierced deeply on the bow of the ship.

Gao Bailing sat in the boat without moving, allowing countless attacks to land on the huge boat below him.Although there were many soldiers boarding his ship, none of them seemed to be able to see him, and the two sides fought back and forth, but they all bypassed him, as if there was an invisible barrier blocking him.

It's just that although he can confuse people's senses, he can't deal with objects after all.

Raising his hand to catch an oncoming arrow, he snorted coldly, broke it and threw it on the ground, watched Chen Youliang retreat steadily, and said to the servants beside him: "Can you see the reason? ?”

The servant's eyes were dull and his expression was in a trance, as if he couldn't hear what he was saying at all.

So Gao Bailing continued by himself: "The truth is, if a friend who hasn't seen you for many years suddenly contacts you, it probably won't be a good thing."

He didn't come here because of Chen Youliang's war, he only cared about one thing - that piece of talisman that fell on the bank of the Qinhuai River.

The loss of this piece of paper made him toss and turn, sleepless all night, thinking about it day and night, and breaking out in a cold sweat when he thought about it.

Without this piece of paper, he even wished to die immediately.

It must be in Yingtian City!

Gao Bailing's sinister eyes crossed the river bank and cast straight to Yingtian City.

At this moment, Zhu Biao looked up because of the sound of the guns. He looked across thousands of miles with one glance, and met Gao Bailing's eyes with incomparable precision.

One pair is gray, cold, and eerie, and the other is golden, cool, and sharp.

In the city outside the city, the two people looked at each other, and neither of them looked away.

After going on like this for a while, Zhu Biao suddenly realized that the focal lengths in his eyes were not so close together, as if he was looking at something, but he didn't see it completely, as if he was always separated by a piece of foggy glass.

The person cannot actually see himself.

Zhu Biao realized the problem.

They just happened to be looking at each other, not everyone has a pair of Zhu Biao's eyes that can see thousands of miles away.

Seeing Zhu Biao's unusual behavior, Li Shanchang tentatively called out, "Master?"

At this time, the servant outside the door also came in and shouted: "My lord! There is a fight outside the city!"

Under the watchful eyes of Li Shanchang and the boy, Zhu Biao got up abruptly, smiled quickly, cupped his hands and said: "Sir, I still have something to do, so I will take my leave first, you are busy first."

He lifted the hem of his clothes and stepped out the door, and disappeared into the room in a blink of an eye, heading for the back room.

"Master, little..."

Li Shanchang said: "You go out, go back to your wife when you leave the house, tell her not to panic, stay at home obediently and wait for me to go back."

"How about you, sir?"

"I will find a room to live in the commander's mansion tonight. When the commander comes back, you can go."

"Yes, little one, let's go."

When the servant also left, Li Shanchang showed an indescribably mysterious expression. He seemed to be guessing something, and seemed to see through something, but in the end he did nothing, picked up his pen again, and leaned against the chair. Back, continue to leisurely look at the document.

After going out, Zhu Biao ran wildly, running all the way to the rear.His study room was not far from this hall, it was at the back, and even in a straight line, if that pale man was looking at something, he might be looking at that thing!

He ran all the way to the room, and closed the door tightly, even Liu Chubai who was sleeping, let him lift his neck out from the corner.

Pulling open the drawer, Zhu Biao took out a box from inside, with a seal on the box, and inside was a piece of paper.

This is a piece of talisman paper, the one he took out from the scales of the snake demon. Because it is unclear about its purpose and it is an important clue, it has been sealed here.

After taking the talisman named Feng Duling, Zhu Biao casually moved in a horizontal direction, and then looked outside the city. When he moved like this, Gao Bailing's gaze moved as well.

Holding the talisman paper, Zhu Biao didn't change his face, and quickly thought about the countermeasures in his heart.

The current situation is really passive. I don’t know what this talisman is, what its function is, and how to use it. It is also very dangerous to deal with it rashly. It is too late to find Mr. He is supervising the battle outside the city——

All of a sudden, the talisman paper in Zhu Biao's hand ignited with a bang, and a ball of dark green gunpowder puffed up with a bang, burning to death, like a bursting candle, and it disappeared.

Because he hid in time, Zhu Biao didn't suffer any injuries, he just looked towards Longwan immediately - the strange man on the boat spit out a mouthful of blood.

Gao Bailing destroyed the talisman paper, but because the distance was too far, and the talisman paper was in the commander's mansion under the protection of human luck, it received a backlash.

Blood flowed down the corner of his mouth like a string of red agates and dripped on his clothes. His skin color was like a dead man's, and his blood was also like a dead man's, it turned out to be a congealed lump.

Liu Ji was the first to discover Gao Bailing's abnormal movement, he was taken aback, and quickly looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, he was relieved when he found that he was safe and sound, and then he was confused, suspected that it was a problem in the city, and after some calculations, he realized what happened roughly What's the matter.

Calculating the future is troublesome and extremely difficult, but it is relatively easy for him to calculate the past, even if it happened just now.

"Bring the bow." Liu Ji shouted.

He didn't know what this person was going to do at first, so he always adhered to the strategy of not moving the enemy and not moving me. Now that he has provoked Zhu Biao's head and suffered physical injuries, he immediately decided to fight back.

Soon someone gave him a bow.

Mysterious techniques can't be used, but ordinary weapons can always be used.

Liu Ji sat on the horse, leaned back, bent the bow and shot the arrow, pulled the bowstring to the limit, opened a smooth arc, and with a bang, the arrow pierced through the air like a shooting star, stabbing fiercely at Gao Bailing.

At this moment, Gao Bailing on the boat trembled in his heart. He didn't know where this feeling came from, but when he looked around, he immediately found the arrows coming from the sky. Knowing that he couldn't hide, he decisively pulled the servants around him to block the arrows.

laugh.

Blood splattered.

The servant fell to the ground, unable to even make a sound, twitching and out of breath.

This arrow passed through his chest, protruding out of his body for a full two or three inches. If Gao Bailing got closer to him, he might be pierced into his body by the arrow and cause some wounds.

Just as he was staring at Liu Bowen, a shout suddenly came from his ear.

"Your Majesty has an order! Retreat! Your Majesty has an order—"

In the middle of shouting, the soldier who sent the order fell silent, and a soldier from Yingtian had already chopped off his head.

Hearing the sound of the order, the soldiers who had long lost their will to fight immediately cheered up and retreated desperately. The people on the shore ran to the boat, and the people on the boat struggled to paddle, and they were in a mess for a while. , Let Zhu Jun seize the opportunity and fight back and forth again, leaving many corpses on the ground.

Chen Youliang's body has long been covered with blood. Under such circumstances, even if he is the emperor, he cannot be completely protected. His face is blackened by the smoke, and his eyes are even red from murder—maybe he is about to die of anger. reason.

"Where's Zhang Dingbian?" He grabbed a soldier.

The soldier was about to get angry at this man for blocking his way to survive, but when he saw that it was Chen Youliang, he couldn't help but grow shorter, fearful in his heart, and replied: "The villain doesn't know! I didn't see General Zhang!"

Chen Youliang let him go, walked quickly to the side of the boat, covered his face with his arms, and watched the movement on the river through the gap.

Suddenly, he saw a small boat coming through the waves on the river, paddling fast, and it was under his boat in the blink of an eye, and Zhang Dingbian, whom he was thinking of, was standing on it, already changed into a soldier's clothes, facing towards the boat. He waved eagerly.

Chen Youliang was overjoyed, and hurried off, killing several people along the way before reaching the side of the boat.

Looking at the chaos not far away, Zhang Dingbian gritted his teeth, helped Chen Youliang onto the boat, and asked, "Your Majesty, what should we do now?"

"Retreat first! Let's go first!" Chen Youliang said quickly, "You arrange someone to tell the rest to withdraw too!"

"Yes!" Zhang Dingbian said to the soldiers in the boat, "Row the boat quickly! Take care to protect Your Majesty!"

The boat was quickly rowed again and moved towards the middle of the river.

While Chen Youliang breathed a sigh of relief, he was surprised that the river was receding. He knew that it was time and the tide was going to ebb. It is unacceptable.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty? What about that man?"

"Who?" Chen Youliang came back to his senses.

Zhang Dingbian had disdain and contempt in his eyes: "It's that guy with a dead face!"

Chen Youliang also had no intention of correcting his address, and replied: "He will follow himself."

Zhang Dingbian frowned, hesitated for a while, and decided to advise: "Your Majesty, what I said is not good, what's the use of bringing him here? It's better not to reuse this kind of person who seeks out sorcery."

Chen Youliang squinted his eyes and didn't intend to explain.

Zhang Dingbian had no choice but to sigh secretly, and stopped talking, His Majesty was already in a bad mood after losing the battle, so let's talk about it later.

Zhu Yuanzhang won a big victory here, restraining many ships like giant buildings, and some soldiers are even cleaning up the battlefield.

Zhang Desheng had sharp eyes, looked into the distance and sensed something was wrong, and reported: "Master! There seems to be something wrong with the people on that ship!"

Wu Ce had better eyesight. After comparing the figures of the people on board, he continued, "Marshal, it is indeed Chen Youliang, and the person beside him seems to be Zhang Dingbian."

They escaped!Hearing such news, Zhang Desheng immediately cheered up, gearing up and said: "Your subordinate, please order to chase after me!"

"Okay, you go, we want to live!" Zhu Yuanzhang paused, "Try to live!"

"Yes!"

The fleeing boat was paddling hard.
