Chapter 81 The professional quality of mountain artillery(2/2)
Historically, in order to avoid conflict in their names and to better distinguish their different political identities, Zhang Shicheng was called the King of Eastern Wu and Zhu Yuanzhang was called the King of Western Wu.
At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang, who had completely eliminated Chen Youliang's Han regime, was finally free to deal with the trouble of Zhang Shicheng.
Zhu Yuanzhang was equally unhappy with Zhang Shicheng, who was competing with him for territory and fame.
Zhu Yuanzhang used his actual actions to tell this mountain gunner who was constantly challenging him.
There is only one King of Wu allowed in the world.
That's me.
Zhu Yuanzhang.
As for you, the King of Wu, get out of here as soon as possible.
In the twenty-fifth year of the Yuan Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang led his Zhu Jiajun to launch a military attack on another political enemy, Zhang Shicheng.
Facing Zhang Shicheng, a really rich bastard who couldn't beat him in terms of money, Zhu Yuanzhang roughly divided his attack plan into three steps.
The first step is to eliminate Zhang Shicheng's forces north of the Yangtze River.
There is only one purpose for doing this, and that is to use your superior strength to eliminate Zhang Shicheng's troops as much as possible.
After the specific strategy was determined, Zhu Yuanzhang first ordered Xu Da to lead his troops to attack Taizhou and Tongzhou (Nantong, Jiangsu).
After these two places were captured, Xu Da was ordered to lead his troops to surround Gaoyou.
For Gaoyou, Zhang Shicheng cannot be discarded because this is his first capital.
He raised troops in Gaoyou, which can be said to be his first base.
So when he heard that his Taizhou and Tongzhou had been captured by Zhu Yuanzhang, and that Monk Zhu led his troops to surround Gaoyou, Zhang Shicheng quickly sent his navy upstream from the Yangtze River to rescue Gaoyou.
Zhu Yuanzhang would never let go of the reinforcements easily. At the same time, in order to express his respect for Zhang Shicheng, Zhu Yuanzhang chose to personally fight Zhang Shicheng's army.
Zhu Yuanzhang, who had already captured Taizhou and other areas, allowed Xu Da to capture Gaoyou with confidence, as well as Huai'an, Huaibei and other areas, while he personally led his troops to deal with Zhang Shicheng who came from the lower reaches.
There were two other people accompanying Zhu Yuanzhang in the attack.
They are Wu Liang and Wu Zhen respectively.
But facing Zhu Yuanzhang, who was so powerful that he could even kill a thug like Chen Youliang, he did not dare to take it lightly.
Zhu Yuanzhang's victory should be beyond Zhang Shicheng's expectation. He did not expect that the always unruly Chen Youliang would fall into the hands of a stinky beggar monk.
Chen Jiusi, you useless thing!
Chen Youliang, you are a piece of trash who has little success but only failure.
If you can't even deal with a begging monk, what's the point of living?
Go to hell as soon as possible and leave the rest to me!
I will take care of your unfinished business,
Leave the bastards you haven't killed to me!
Facing Zhu Yuanzhang's strong attack, he dispatched hundreds of warships and tens of thousands of troops to help defend Gaoyou.
When Zhang Shicheng's troops had not yet reached Gaoyou and had just arrived in Jiangyin, a group of soldiers and horses that had been well prepared blocked their way.
At the same time, the opponent was unprepared and launched a military raid.
On the other hand, another group of troops appeared behind them without the opponent's expectation at all, and launched a fierce attack as if they were invading enemies.
The final result was that two thousand soldiers and horses were captured at the cost of hundreds of warships. Zhang Shicheng's soldiers and horses were defeated in the first battle.
After killing Zhang Shicheng's reinforcements, Zhu Yuanzhang did not let his troops idle.
