Zhu Yuanzhang asked his nephew Zhu Wen to defend Hongdu, and gave a death order. No matter what method is used, you must defend Hongdu. If you can't defend, you will die. You must know that when you issued this order, Zhu Yuanzhang already knew that Chen Youliang had an army of 600,000.

And the army he could give to his nephew was only 30,000.

Thirty thousand vs. Six hundred thousand, even in the battle to defend the city, it was just an egg hitting a stone. But in the end, Zhu Wenzheng defended Hongdu for 85 days. Then you can imagine the terrible level of that battle to defend Hongdu.

In order to win Ying Tian in one fell swoop, Chen Youliang organized himself, called the "National Army", and called his entire army that was the country, wasn't it called the Dahan?

All of them were mobilized, claiming to be 600,000... So these hundreds of thousands of troops came to pick up Zhu Yuanzhang's retreat and built a new warship. The warship was even more powerful than what we said, "Crashing the Mountain" and "Hengduan River". They were all warships several stories high, cast with iron in the middle, which was very strong. Horses could be run around the ship, and there were horse paths, and each floor could be ridden on the ship.

How big is this ship? We are all surprised to say it, but it is recorded in history books. A large ship can accommodate 3,000 people, and a smaller one can accommodate 2,000 people. Now we have a destroyer, a long-distance ocean, and only 2,000 people, a warship is a huge warship.

Chen Youliang did not go directly to Yingtian City, but came to Hongdu City to take revenge.

Why attack Hongdu City? First of all, Hongdu City is the barrier to the southwest of Yingtian. If Hongdu is destroyed, Yingtian will be exposed directly. Yingtian without a barrier is equivalent to a beauty who has taken off all his hair. Old Chen can play whatever he wants.

Also, Hongdu is actually a city that relies on water. Chen Youliang is a fisherman. His warships are very powerful and have artillery. So Chen Youliang wants to conduct a water raid, so he has to rely on his big ship to directly bombard Hongdu.

But who knew that Zhu Wenzheng was very smart. He moved the Hongdu wall thirty steps behind. In this case, Hongdu City was no longer by the water. If your big ship could not reach, the artillery would be useless.

So a good water raid could only turn into a land attack. If I had known about the land attack, Chen Youliang might as well go directly to Yingtian.

Because of this, the most fierce defense battle in the early Ming Dynasty appeared. How cruel is this war? I can't attack the city. I attacked from the waterway, and I was afraid that he would attack it. The soldiers guarding the city in the city used the spear-with-sting spear to stab the outside, so that the enemy would not let the enemy come in. After seeing the spear, they would directly use their hands to seize the spear and snatch the spear over. The two sides could fight to this level.

What should I do if the city is trying to find a way?

The spear was burned to hot, and then stabbed it upwards, and the outside was snatched, and the hands were burned to pieces, and they could not be taken away.

All kinds of methods were used, and the city wall was destroyed. The city wall was built while guarding and building. Without materials, the dead brothers were used. In this way, the city wall was built again overnight.

This kind of battle is really bloody and very tragic. Deng Shou and Dong Zheng met, got to know each other and met each other in such wars... so the two have comrades who are different from others.

....................................................

"Old Deng, you don't know. It's a miracle that we can survive." Dong Zheng sighed, then ate a piece of tofu and said, "But you are lucky than me. You have the love of your adoptive father, but I don't, so I can't eat meat now."

"Old Dong, this is not your fault. In fact, you don't need to do this." Deng Shou patted Dong Zheng comfortably.

"I know it's not my fault, but I did something like that. I can't forgive myself, and I don't want to, but let alone eat it, even if I see those things now, I feel disgusted. Fortunately, I have become the prince's guard and I don't have to go to the battlefield. If I continue to stay on the battlefield, I might have been killed by myself." Dong Zheng's eyes turned red.

The reason why Dong Zheng did not eat meat was very simple, and it was also the shadow left by that year. Hongdu was surrounded for 85 days and the food was too scarce. Deng Shou had his adopted father Deng Yu, so he could eat one of the few foods, but Dong Zheng had nothing.

Moreover, Dong Zheng was still temporarily recruited by soldiers. How could he eat the few food? So he could only eat two-legged sheep. It would be better not to say what two-legged sheep are. Of course, at first, these soldiers were not allowed to know, but later they could not hide it, and the soldiers all knew it.

"But I still want to thank you Lao Deng... You always protected me and later gave me your rations, so you Lao Deng is my old Dong Yongyuan's brother."

When talking about the Hongdu defense battle, Dong Zheng sighed a lot, and Deng Shou was the same. The Hongdu defense battle was also a nightmare in Deng Shou's heart. When he returned to midnight, he remembered the city wall built with corpses in Hongdu City, and Deng Shou's whole body was trembling.

It is said that Zhu Wenzheng died miserably because he was too cruel. He died at the age of 31 and did not wait until the Ming Dynasty was established...!

Dong Zheng and Deng Shou drank until the early morning. Both sides were slightly drunk at this time. While drunk, Deng Shou also asked about the purpose of his trip.

"Old Dong...Brother asks you something, you must tell your brother honestly..."

Hearing Deng Shou's words, Dong Zheng nodded drunk: "Old Deng, don't worry, you are my old Dong's brother, I will tell you what I know...!"

Then Deng Shou asked, "Old Dong, what I want to ask you is, do you know if there are any princes in the palace who are wandering outside?"

"puff...!"

Dong Zheng directly sprayed out the wine in his mouth, and then he saw Dong Zheng looking at Deng Shou with some surprise and asked, "Old Deng, why would you ask such a thing..."

"Don't worry, just tell me if you have received such news. If there is, there is, there is no, there is no news. Your news is more informative than mine." Deng Shou looked at Dong Zheng and asked.

"Ah...!" Dong Zheng shook his head slightly: "I really don't have this!"

"No...!" The answer was a little bad, but Deng Shou took a breath and said slightly: "It's normal that no, hey... that's because I'm thinking too much, how could such a thing happen? Maybe it's just a look."

After saying that, Deng Shou smiled mockingly, and then prepared to explain the reason why he just asked this question.

But at this moment, suddenly, Dong Zheng on the side said again: "However, I heard that the prince has been looking for someone for a while..."

"Looking for someone?" Deng Shou was shocked.

"To be precise, I am looking for a family of three. This family of three is a grandmother, a father with low intelligence, and a sixteen-year-old son with his surname Zhu and his grandmother's surname is Wang... The prince said that if he found the family of three, the prince would give him a reward of tens of thousands of gold..."

"Reward ten thousand gold...!" Deng Shou was shocked. You must know that this reward of ten thousand gold is a big deal. The prince can make such a big deal, and he knows the importance of the other party without guessing.

But why not find one person, but a family of three?

Deng Shou thought about continuing to ask more things about Dong Zheng, but when he looked at Dong Zheng again, Dong Zheng had already fallen asleep. At this time, Deng Shou looked at the late night outside and showed a smiling expression.
