Chapter 377 Jiangzhou

The elite army has long been taken away by Chen Youliang. Now there are only 30,000 defenders left in Jiangzhou, and most of them are Xu Shouhui's old troops.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the head of the city in the distance. This time, he was also desperate. As long as he took down Jiangzhou, he would occupy the capital of the Han Dynasty. Then, he ordered the people of the Han Dynasty to expose Chen Youliang's crime of slifice, so that they could all live under their own rule.

"Brother, we only have 95,000 troops, and we still lack siege equipment. Can we take down the city of Jiangzhou?" Xu Da asked.

"Xu Da, attack the city is the bottom, attack the heart is the top, look at me." Zhu Yuanzhang said.

Attack the heart first? Can you beat down the city with your heart? Xu Da was puzzled.

Zhu Yuanzhang has found fifty loud soldiers, stood outside the range of bows and arrows at the head of the city, and shouted according to his prior instructions: "Listen the defenders in the city, Chen Youliang has been defeated, all the troops he took out have perished, and Chen Youliang has also committed suicide by Taihu Lake! You have been deeply oppressed by Chen Youliang for many years. Chen Youliang was sinister and evil. He killed many upright generals and even let go of the former emperor. The former emperor was strangled by him! Now, it's time to set things right! Chen Youliang has no army! As long as you can unite, you will definitely defeat Chen Youliang, who killed the king and seized power! Take down the palace, take down all Chen Youliang's forces, kill Chen Li, and avenge the former emperor! We are the subordinates of Mr. Zhu in Chuzhou, and we are willing to provide a strong backing for everyone! Revenge the former emperor!"

When a centurion at the head of the city heard this, he was furious and said to the people next to him, "Demon words deceive the public. Come on, shoot arrows and kill them!"

The soldiers did not move.

The former emperor died strangely. They all had a lot of doubts in their hearts, but they were afraid that no one dared to say it. They were very grateful to the previous emperor, who fought in the south and the north and rescued them from the iron hooves of the Tatars, and their family was getting better and better because of the fields.

Since Chen Youliang became emperor, he has been divided into hundreds of officials. His family's field has once again become someone else's, and he began his previous life again. Moreover, the rent is more than the original one!

All this makes them feel suspicious of the regime. Is it the regime they fight for that makes their families not have enough to eat? They fought, and they sacrificed for what?

Over the years, the old generals they followed have all died in battle, and some have died inexplicably. Many soldiers have had doubts in their hearts. Gradually, all the spearheads are aimed at the current emperor.

Chen Youliang, it's definitely a wolf's ambition! The first emperor was killed by Chen Youliang!

They gradually knew the truth, but there was nothing they could do. As long as they dared to say a word, the consequence was that they would be immediately cut off by Chen Youliang.

However, now that the situation has changed, Chen Youliang is dead!

Is Chen Youliang really dead? Some people doubt, but more people believe that the following people are talking about Mr. Zhu in Chuzhou. The name of Mr. Zhu is known to all women and children. The other party will never lie to themselves. Besides, they also hope that this is true, hope, hope, hope, and become true.

"Quick, shoot them!" The centurion is loyal to Chen Youliang, and he usually likes to withhold military sages and beat and scold soldiers.

Now, when he saw that no one executed under his order, he was even more furious. He picked up the whip, pointed to the nearest archer, and whipped it fiercely.

"Let you shoot arrows, why don't you shoot!"

"Ah!" The soldier was twitched coldly, and his back suddenly hurt hotly. He turned his face and looked straight at the centurion with cold eyes.

"What? How dare you resist?" When the centurion saw the unconvinced archer, he was even more bullied, and then waved the whip again.

"You are not convinced, aren't you?" The centurion waved his whip and said, "When the emperor comes back, all of you who don't listen to military orders will be executed!"

This sentence made the public angry. Just in the distance, the next round of shouts came up again: "Chen Youliang has committed suicide by the Taihu Lake! The soldiers of the late emperor, pick up your weapons and kill all the dog officials who bullied you and killed all the running dogs of Chen Youliang who killed the late emperor!"

"Chen Youliang is dead!" The archer no longer hid and raised the bow and arrow in his hand to the centurion.

"You dare to rebel! This is the nine clans, and your whole family will be confiscated!" The centurion stepped back, looked at the bold archer, and said.

"Come on, take him down!" The centurion shouted.

The person next to

did not move.

The people behind didn't move either.

"Take down this rebel for me!" The centurion shouted again.

No one responded, and the city was as quiet as death.

The centurion's heart was cold.

"Ravenge the former emperor!" A tearful soldier shouted, "The former emperor was killed by Chen Youliang, the dog emperor!" In the temple, I saw with my own eyes that the former emperor was killed by Chen Youliang with a big hammer!"

"You are talking nonsense!"

"I'm not talking nonsense. I was responsible for guarding outside the temple that day. I saw it with my own eyes, the emperor! You died unjustly!"

"K kill Chen Youliang's son and avenge the former emperor!" Suddenly, a voice shouted.

"Yes, kill those high-ranking dog officials and return our land! When the late emperor was here, he gave us the land, and now it has been occupied by the dog officials!"

When it comes to land, everyone's hearts are gone together.

One of the biggest mistakes Chen Youliang did was not to kill Xu Shouhui, not to kill the king to seize the throne, but that he listened to the civil servants of the Yuan Dynasty who turned to him and divided the land into ministers. As a result, all the people lost their land, and they were not as good as when they ruled the Yuan Dynasty.

In the danger of beheading, didn't the people follow Xu Shouhui's uprising just to be able to eat? Now, the land is gone, the rent is expensive, and it is in danger of starving to death again. Who else is willing to work for Chen Youliang?

The centurion's legs began to tremble. He heard that the voice was not a few voices, not dozens of voices, but hundreds of people and thousands of people shouted. This was a mue!

"These things have nothing to do with me, and I also remember the emperor very much." The centurion shouted.

"Shoot him to death! He deducted our military sage the most. He and Chen Youliang are the same!"

"Yes, shoot him to death!" Others also shouted.

"It has nothing to do with me." The centurion said, turned his head and ran down.

After two steps, he heard the sound of bows and arrows behind him. Then, he felt that countless bows and arrows passed through his body. He shouted miserably and walked down the steps.

"Brother, the city seems to be in a mess."

"Yes, why does it seem to be fighting?"

"Brother, you have a good way. Those people have indeed begun to make a mue."

Zhu Yuanzhang listened to the happy voice of the generals around him, and finally let go of a hanging heart. No one found that the palm of his hand was full of sweat.

If you can't rebel against them, you can only attack. At that time, once the attack does not come down for a few days, Chen Youliang's water army will return, and you will have no way to retreat.

He didn't know that Chen Youliang had been defeated.

Chen Youliang's powerful navy has disappeared. Those large warships that made him proud to fight south and north were all fragmented under the ambush of the enemy.

And he himself, with the boat behind him, with the same shocked sailors, hurriedly retreated from the waterway of the past.

Chen Youliang is not afraid. If the army is gone, it can be called again. If the territory is gone, it can be snatched back. As long as he is still there, there will be a day for him to rise again.

However, he would never expect that there was a person in this world who was as cruel as him!

Zhang Shicheng, this is also a master! I don't want to let him go at all!

Chen Youliang's scattered navy, as soon as he arrived at Shibai Lake, he saw a new warship on the opposite side, a warship he had never seen before.

On both sides, as before, there is also a large water wheel, stirring the water forward, there is no mast, only a big chimney that is smoking, but the head has become sharp, and the boat shape is more reasonable.

Bian Yuanheng was bored in the Yangtze River, so he sent two warships into Baishi Lake, just in contact with the escaped navy of Chen Youliang.

Just when Chen Youliang found the other party's ship, a situation that he didn't expect appeared.

The other party turned quickly, leaving the hull sideways towards him. Then, many baffles on the side opened, revealing many holes.

In every hole, there is a black cannon!

"Three shots in a volley." The captain excitedly gave the order to fight.

Forty-five God of War cannons on each side made a shocking roar. What is this? It's definitely the fire of death from hell!

At the beginning, a few cannons on each ship could deter the other's navy. Now, there are 45 guns on one side. These god of war cannons are very powerful.

When launched, the huge hull will tremble suddenly, and at the same time, the hull will be moved back in a small section. However, the bottom of this ship is full of ballast, which is very stable.

Especially on the opposite side, there are still dense boats. The only thing that upset the captain is that there are some small boats left, and there are no big ships for him to ravage.

The shell splashed into the water and smashed a several-foot-high column of water. If it landed on the ship, the ship would disintegrate in an instant, and the boat could not even hold a shell.

Never raised his eyebrows so much. Bian Yuanheng's water army was hit by the other party last time, which made each of them feel unable to raise their heads. Now, he finally regained his face in the battle.

"Shoot, shoot!" They are shooting constantly.

It's already a mess on the water.

Chen Youliang was once again very lucky that his ship, on the edge of the other side's shooting, narrowly escaped the blow.

There is also an unscientific place to place artillery on both sides, that is, it is impossible to pour fire on the bow and stern of the ship unless the bow is transferred.

There, it happens to be the shooting dead corner of the firepower on the ship.

Escape from Baishi Lake, Chen Youliang's fleet was cut off another layer like a potato. He walked forward tremblingly. It was foreseeable that there would be any danger waiting for him on the Yangtze River.
