Chapter 167 Battle of Poyang Lake

Zhu Chenhao's army returned to the division, and the vanguard officers of the waterway were bandits Ling Shiyi and Min Niansi.Relying on their own courage and ambition, the two urged their masters to run wildly, and within a day they arrived at the woodcutter's house, where they saw sails covering the river, and they traveled tens of miles back and forth.He was looking down at the river, looking forward to his own strength, when he suddenly heard the sound of screaming and killing from the banks on both sides, and saw two fire dragons, one left and one right, plunged into Zhu Chenhao's navy. Cut the navy into three sections, and the head and the tail cannot look at each other.

Ling Shiyi and Min Niansi were originally bandits, and they were best at punching sap sticks behind their backs and getting off nooses. They never thought that the scale of the battle would be so large. They hurriedly split up, one to save the head and the other to save the tail. But I don't know that the actions of these two people have already been calculated by Mr. Yangming. There are already two lines of officers, soldiers and sailors lying in ambush on the bank. Taking advantage of the situation, he suddenly smashed out, directly hitting the core of Zhu Chenhao's navy, smashing all the navy into pieces, and fighting on their own.

These officers and soldiers had the upper hand, they burned and killed, chasing all the way, the whole army of Zhu Chenhao's navy was defeated, and they were chased for more than ten miles by the officers and soldiers of the four routes, beheading more than two thousand, Zhu Chenhao Master Haoshui drowned more than 10,000 people, and the dense floating corpses almost blocked the Yangtze River.The leader of the bandit, Ling Shiyi, was hit by a cold arrow in the ribs and fell into the water.Only the terrified Min Niansi took thousands of remnants and fled to Bazinao to hide, and sent people to report to Zhu Chenhao.

Zhu Chenhao was frightened when he heard the bad news, and hastily summoned bandit soldiers from Nankang and Jiujiang to escort him.This news was quickly reported to Mr. Yangming's account. Mr. Yangming was overjoyed and said: Although our army won a small victory, it was blocked by Nankang and Jiujiang.Now that Zhu Chenhao has separated the troops from the two cities, it is an excellent opportunity for us to retake the two cities and join up with the officers and soldiers. So Chen Huai, the prefect of Fuzhou, and Zeng Yu, the prefect of Jianchang, were sent, each with 400 yamen militiamen, to recover Nankang and Jiujiang.

The next day, Zhu Chenhao personally supervised the division and fought Mr. Yangming on Poyang Lake. Seeing his team's morale was low, Zhu Chenhao immediately gave an order: Those who charge first will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver, and those who fight against the injured will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver, and those who do not retreat will be beheaded!This reward and punishment measure was very effective. I saw that the thieves and soldiers were all fighting bravely, rushing towards the officers and soldiers with red eyes. On the officers' and soldiers' side, Wu Wending, the prefect of Ji'an, took the lead. Seeing that the bandit soldiers were aggressive, and it was obvious that they wanted to play with him, Wu Wending felt a little frightened, but he caught up with the headwind on his side, and was driven by the bandit soldiers. When the collision was about to come, the officers and soldiers could not stand firmly, and they collapsed immediately.The thieves became more and more courageous and pursued them relentlessly.

At this time, Mr. Yangming was giving a lecture on a high place on the shore, saying: I teach people to develop conscience, and to study things hard, but it is the fundamental knowledge.Others teach you to think about everything, it is all nonsense, this is like a tree without roots, transplanted by the water, although it is fresh for a while, it will eventually wither... As I was talking, I suddenly saw Wu Wending's army retreating in the lake , I was overjoyed at the moment, and urgently called the stupid officer Long Guang: "Get my sword quickly, I finally found a chance to kill Wu Wending today, if I don't kill him, I will be pissed off by him sooner or later...

But Long Guang met Wu Wending because he was ignorant in the workplace, and found him an errand with Mr. Yangming.So Long Guang knew in his heart that Wu Wending was his benefactor, and saw that Mr. Yangming ordered the Chinese army: Take this sword and take Wu Wending's head to me.Long Guang was listening, not daring to make a sound. After the Chinese army left, he hurriedly chased him out and shouted: "The Chinese army stay behind. Mr. Yangming just ordered you not to kill Wu Wending." The Chinese army was puzzled: If you don't kill Wu Zhifu, why did the governor give me the sword?

Long Guangdao: "The sword was given to you because... guess what? The Chinese Army reluctantly guessed: Could it be... to scare Wu Zhifu, if Wu Zhifu doesn't turn defeat into victory immediately, the governor will be rude, right? Long Guang said happily: You are so smart! The Chinese army rolled their eyes, took the sword, and went to the army to find Wu Wending, who was in a state of distress, and said: The governor said, Wu Zhifu, if you fail, you will be executed according to the law.Take a look, magistrate, when is it appropriate for us to kill you? When will it be cut...Wu Wending is embarrassed: You wait until I finish this battle.
