First of all, Battle of Red Cliffs is real in history, but it is not as exaggerated as Luo Guanzhong's Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and it is also borrowed from the east wind to burn Chibi. However, Battle of Red Cliffs took place in the Three Kingdoms period, and the battle of Poyang Lake took place in the late Eastern Han Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty. Therefore, it is wrong for Battle of Red Cliffs to take the Poyang Lake War as a reference, but Luo Guanzhong, the author of Romance of the Three Kingdoms, may have added some complex in the Poyang Lake War.

The battle of Poyang Lake is a strategic decisive battle between Zhu Yuanzhang and Chen Youliang, and it is also the last battle between them. The Poyang Lake War was also the biggest water war in the Middle Ages. According to the situation at that time, Chen Youliang and Zhu Yuanzhang decided to have a total decisive battle with each other, so they launched the final decisive battle in Poyang Lake. First, Chen Youliang sent troops to attack the portal of Zhu Yuanzhang-the fortified city Hongdu, which was unable to attack for a long time, and his morale was frustrated. Later, he moved to Poyang Lake. As a result, Zhu Yuanzhang was better, commanded properly, showed the enemy to be weak, and attacked with fire to intercept. Finally, Chen Youliang was trapped in Poyang Lake, and there was no way into the sky. This trap was set for more than a month, and finally adowa, Chen Youliang broke through.

The tragic place of Poyang Lake War: a bloody battle in Hongdu.

Chen Youliang led an army of 600,000 to destroy Zhu Yuanzhang in one fell swoop. Chen Youliang's 600,000-strong army was not a mob, but a battle-hardened iron warrior, which made everyone in the world want to talk about it, even Zhu Yuanzhang. The first place where Chen Youliang led an army of 600,000 troops to attack was Chen Chi of Zhu Yuanzhang, with only tens of thousands of defenders. Supposedly, it should be destroyed and broken, but the city is like a fixed one.

Zhu Wenzheng, the nephew of Zhu Yuanzhang, is the commander of Hongdu City. Because Chen Youliang was menacing, Zhu Yuanzhang needed strategic preparation time, so he gave Zhu Wenzheng a death order to hold the city, so Zhu Wenzheng organized tens of thousands of defenders to stand by and created a miracle that everyone couldn't believe. Chen Youliang is ready to attack the city in advance. There are countless rocket siege equipment, sent a huge siege troops, but Zhu Wenzheng beat back with tenacious will. Chen Youliang originally planned to break the city in three days, but it took 85 days, and it has not been broken so far. Both sides were killed in the First World War. Chen Youliang repeatedly organized the dead to attack the city, and the city changed hands repeatedly. The defenders and soldiers suffered heavy casualties, but they all resisted with tenacious will. Needless to say, it is conceivable that the battle was fierce.

Second, the circumference of Poyang Lake

The second tragic battle was the siege of Poyang Lake and the battle of Hongdu in Chen Youliang. Chen Youliang was badly defeated, but the siege lasted for 85 days. At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang had made strategic preparations and came to lift the siege of Hongdu. When Chen Youliang saw this, he went to Poyang Lake, where he planned to do or die with Zhu Yuanzhang. However, he didn't expect himself to be worse. He was defeated and fled by Zhu Yuanzhang's superb tactics. More importantly, Chen Youliang was cut off by Zhu Yuanzhang from Jingjiang Estuary and Nanhukou. He was trapped in Poyang Lake, and he couldn't get in. This circumference is more than a month. Chen Youliang's rations have already been exhausted, so he can only catch some small fish and shrimp to satisfy his hunger. But how can this be hundreds of thousands?
