Chapter 994 : The death of the coach
Xiao Yun was on the edge of the boat and was about to dive when the arrow entered his shoulders and screamed. Before he could stand firm, he could hear a plop, and a splash of water aroused from the lake. The handsome red uniform was quickly flooded the lake. When the Han army looked at it again, Xiao Yun's body had completely sunk to the bottom of the lake.
"Monkey Zhu fell into the water and died, and Monk Zhu fell into the water and died...? We won!" The Han army, who was the first to run to the bow of the boat, looked at the red uniform sank into the bottom of the lake. The surprise Han army began to shout, with two sounds, two sounds, three sounds quickly spread in the army camps of hundreds of thousands, and the sound was like thunder.
Chen Youliang, who learned the news, led the army onto the dragon boat with Zhang Dingbian, and wanted to see Zhu Yuanzhang's body. There was no one on the entire lake. The turbulent lake surface quickly returned to calm, as if nothing had happened just now. The ripples that Xiao Yun fell into the lake slowly spread over time. Apart from the rippling ripples, there was no movement.
Based on the principle of seeing people in life and seeing corpses in death, the Han Emperor Chen Youliang gave the order, and the five hundred Han troops immediately jumped into the water and disappeared in a short while. After a long time, five hundred soldiers all touched their faces and climbed up. "The corpse has sank to the bottom of the lake, and the corpse cannot be found!"
"Your Majesty, while the morale of the Zhu army is not stable, your Majesty will soon spread the news that Zhu Yuanzhang fell into the water. Once the commander dies, the Zhu army will definitely be in chaos. Your Majesty can take this opportunity to wipe out the Zhu army in one fell swoop and capture Jinling City!" Zhang Dingbian clasped his fists and said to Chen Youliang beside him with a smile.
Chen Youliang breathed a long sigh of relief, slowly withdrew his eyes looking at the lake, smiled slightly, and said, "Yes, once Zhu Yuanzhang died, the morale of the Zhu army will be in chaos. This is the best time to pacify the Zhu army. Pass the order and quickly pass the news!"
"Yes!" A pro-guard quickly took the order.
The news of "Zhu Yuanzhang fell into the water and died" was only sent to the Zhu army's camp at dusk by layer by layer. Deputy Commander Xu Da, Chang Yuchun was shocked when he heard this. He caught a Han army and asked about the situation clearly. He felt that things were a bit strange. Zhu Yuanzhang had excellent water skills, and he would not die even if he fell into the water. Besides, he just got the news. Zhu Yuanzhang was escorted by Mao Xiang, and was rushing to the camp. How could he suddenly fall into the water and die? But the news sent from the Han army was not fake. What was going on?
Xu Da and Chang Yuchun did not dare to be careless, so they ordered people to quickly invite military Liu Bowen and inform the Han army that the commander had fallen into the water and died. Liu Bowen didn't know what to do for a moment. Although Zhu Yuanzhang had excellent water skills, he could see clearly the battle situation in the camp of Kangshan. Hundreds of thousands of Han soldiers swarmed onto dragon boats, cannons, muskets, feather arrows, and powerful crossbows bombings, like thunder, bursts of flowers on the lake. If Zhu Yuanzhang was hit by some feather arrow, it would not be impossible for the muskets to fall into the water and died. What made him even more worried was that the Han army kept sending news, and he could not see the commander, but he was afraid that the morale of the army would change!
At this moment, Liu Bowen didn't care about Chang Yuchun and Xu Da's obstruction, and insisted on ordering thousands of soldiers to secretly sneak into the Han army camp in disguise, to find out the matter clearly, and then make a decision. The Han army was celebrating to kill the commander of the Zhu army, but he didn't pay attention to the intrusion of the Zhu army. Thousands of disguised Zhu army were mixed into the Han army dragon boat. When they learned the situation at that time and the scenes depicted from the Han army soldiers, thousands of people immediately ordered people to tell Liu Bowen the news. After hearing the soldiers' rewards, Liu Bowen finally knew that something was going to happen in the army!
That night, the Han army did not attack the Zhu army immediately, but continued to convey the news of Zhu Yuanzhang's death to hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the Zhu army camp. The battle situation during the day was clear, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers could see the situation of the war during the day. At first, they were a little unbelievable, but they couldn't help but send the news from the Han army. Moreover, after the war ended on weekdays, they could always see the head commander patrolling the military camp. After waiting for the middle of the night tonight, they still didn't see Zhu Yuanzhang. For a moment, the morale of the Zhu army began to shake.
Chang Yuchun and Xu Da didn't believe that Zhu Yuanzhang died just like that. The two led 500 dead soldiers to sneak into the lake while the night was dark, and began to search. As a result, the inspection was discovered by the Han army that the two were not many soldiers. The Han army had just killed the commander of the Zhu army and had a strong morale. After the two fought, they each led the army back to the vicinity of Kangshan.
It was not until the second midnight that the Han army had been much relaxed in patrol. The two of them had a thousand dead soldiers searched the surface of Poyang Lake on a large scale. The lake surface was pitch black and the water surface of Poyang Lake stretched for hundreds of miles. It was a waste of effort to search for individuals with these thousand dead soldiers.
After searching for a whole night, there was still no one on the lake. Xu Da, Chang Yuchun was anxious, and he didn't care about being discovered by the Han army. He ordered thousands of dead soldiers to continue to expand the scope of search. However, Poyang Lake was too big, and such a purposeless search was not a solution after all. Seeing that the east was already white, Xu Da looked at the sky and called out to Chang Yuchun: "Brother Chang... lord..."
"No, the lord is lucky and loyal, how could he die..." Chang Yuchun roared. In fact, through this search, he no longer held the hope that Zhu Yuanzhang was not dead. However, the news sent by the front army forced him to doubt hope, so he forced him to continue searching. Besides, even if Zhu Yuanzhang really fell into the water and died, as his most trusted soldier, if he could not find Zhu Yuanzhang's bones, he would be a little ashamed of his kindness of knowing!
"Oh! I also think that the lord is not dead, but I searched the vast Poyang Lake for a long time, but I still couldn't see anyone. If it weren't... how could it be found..." Xu Da sighed in a bad mood and approached the fishing boat in Chang Yuchun's waters. "The soldiers have been tired all night. When the sky is dawn, they will definitely be discovered by the Han army. Wouldn't the soldiers be killed by the soldiers? Moreover, the Han army's intentions are very obvious now. I want to use the news of the lord's death to delude the morale of the army. As the commander, if you don't go back in time to stabilize the morale of the army, I am afraid...?"
Chang Yuchun looked at the endless lake, gritted his teeth, stomped his feet suddenly, shouted at the soldiers, "Go back!"
Thousands of soldiers drove their fishing boats, pulled open the canvas, and began to return. The night was hazy, but a trace of morning light spread out from the sky through the dark clouds. It shone on the lake, making the Dawn Poyang Lake brighter.
