Chapter 645: Li Shimin attacked Chen Liu in a surprise attack
Chapter 645 Li Shimin surprises Chen Liu
Chapter 643: Li Shimin surprises Chen Liu
To put it bluntly, in terms of strength, Li Yuanba is well-deserved to be the best in the world.
In a pure strength battle, Li Yuanba has never met an opponent, and even Xiang Yu is far behind.
But this time in Yuzhou, Li Yuanba met an opponent who could match him in strength, and he was Luo Shixin.
Luo Shixin holds an Iron Overlord Spear, its weight is no less than Li Yuanba's Drum Beater Golden Hammer, and although his own strength is still not as good as Li Yuanba's, it is only a little bit behind.
These two absolute power warriors, after the fight, they only competed with each other in terms of strength. Whoever is weak will lose. It can be said that they have no technical content at all.
The battle between Li Yuanba and Luo Shixin was astonishing. The two men clashed with each other, and the weapons clanged and jingled. The sound of each collision echoed throughout the city, and even the earth was shaken and cracked.
Using peak divine power to forcefully clash for several hours, this was a huge burden on both bodies. Therefore, as Li Shimin took the initiative to recruit Li Yuanba back, the battle between the two ended in a draw.
If Luo Shixin's solo battle with eight generals was the battle that made him famous, then the tie with Li Yuanba means that he has reached the top of the military generals.
After the famous experts got the news of this battle, they ranked Luo Shixin third in the general list, Yu Wencheng was demoted to fourth, and Li Cunxiao was demoted to fifth.
Li Cunxiao's strength is not inferior to Xiang Yu and Li Yuanba, but his ranking is below them. Yu Wencheng, who is not as good as himself, is also ranked above him.
Now Luo Shixin appeared out of nowhere and was ranked in front of him. When Li Cunxiao learned about it, he was naturally very angry. At the same time, he was determined to take away the number one position in the world sooner or later.
Luo Shixin was very ambitious. If the fight continued, he would definitely not be Li Yuanba's opponent, but he did not lose to Li Yuanba, while Xu Shiji lost to the combination of Li Shimin and Cao Cao.
With 40,000 Liangzhou troops participating in the war, the strength between the Ming and Han Dynasties naturally widened. No matter how powerful Xu Shiji was, he could not make up for it, so Li Shimin and Cao Cao jointly attacked the city.
Lu County is an important defensive town, but it was still breached. It was naturally more difficult to defend the remaining cities, so soon all six counties of Lu State fell.
Li Mi originally occupied the four kingdoms of Yuzhou. Later, in the battle with Yuan Shu and Cao Cao, he lost Liang and Chen respectively, and now he also lost Lu.
Now Li Mi only has 21 counties left in Pei State. If even Pei State is captured by the Han army, there will really be no land left to establish a cone.
After repeated defeats and the shrinking of his territory, Li Mi's confidence suffered a huge blow and he basically had no hope for this battle, so he also made plans to surrender.
If you don’t surrender, all territory will be invaded;
Surrender, at least one county can be retained.
Li Mi was from a Yanzhou family. Although he had his own ambitions after joining the Yellow Turbans, he was still loyal on the whole, so he was named the governor of Yuzhou by Zhang Jiao.
The Ming Dynasty had four kingdoms in Yuzhou. Li Mi defended the last kingdom for the Ming Dynasty. Now he really can't carry it anymore.
The fifth year of Zhongping, May 20th.
Li Mi, the governor of Yuzhou in the Ming Dynasty, chose to submit a petition of surrender to the Han Dynasty, and the condition was that he would be appointed as the governor of Pei State.
On the Han army's side, Yuan Shu opposed accepting Li Mi's surrender, while Li Shimin and Cao Cao both agreed, so they accepted Li Mi's surrender on behalf of the court.
On May 22nd, Li Mi surrendered at Kaicheng and was immediately named the governor of Pei State.
Although Li Mi surrendered, it did not mean that all the Ming troops in Yuzhou were willing to surrender to the Han with him.
Xu Shiji and Luo Shixin were unwilling to surrender to the Han Dynasty, so they led a thousand troops to break out and went south to join Zhu Yuanzhang. Li Zicheng, a disciple of Zhang Jiao, was unwilling to surrender to the Han Dynasty and led the remaining army back to Yanzhou to continue resisting.
With Li Mi's surrender, the Ming army's southwest defense line was completely defeated, and Chen Liu was also exposed to the Han army's offensive.
Xiang Yu on the Eastern Front, after learning that the war situation in Yuzhou had worsened due to Li Shimin, judged that the main force of the Han Army on the Eastern Front had moved south, so he led his army to attack the Han Army camp on the Eastern Front.
The Han army under the command of Yang Jian did not show any flaws, and Xiang Yu's first offensive ended in failure.
After learning that Li Mi surrendered and the southern defense line was completely defeated, Xiang Yu was so anxious that he once again chose to attack the Han camp on the eastern front.
Only by defeating the Han army on the eastern front, Xiang Yu can go south to consolidate the southwest defense line, so he must win this battle.
The danger Xiang Yu encountered in this battle even exceeded the time when he was trapped in Hulao Pass by Qin Hao.
In this battle, Xiang Yu was besieged one after another by nine generals: Yuwen Chengdu, Wu Yunzhao, Wu Tianci, Yu Juluo, Han Qinhu, Yang Lin, Qiu Rui, Ding Yanping, and He Ruobi.
One **** of war, two **** generals, and six top-notch generals with the power of **** generals after breaking out. This lineup is even enough to kill Li Yuanba.
Before this battle, Xiang Yu and Li Yuanba were tied as the best generals in the world. After all, the two had tied again in the previous battle.
However, after this battle, Xiang Yu undoubtedly regained the number one position in the world, and soon he was also listed as the number one military commander by famous experts.
Because such a luxurious lineup still failed to kill Xiang Yu, Xiang Yu once again deserved to be ranked number one in the world.
Of course, Xiang Yu's operation failed.
Yang Jian's defense had no loopholes, and with the help of so many powerful generals, Xiang Yu had no chance at all.
The city gates of Yanzhou were wide open, and Chen Liu was right in front of him. However, the Han army in Yuzhou did not attack eagerly, but chose to fight slowly and steadily.
June 1st.
Li Zicheng, who had returned to Yanzhou, led all the Yanzhou defenders to the front line and built a defense line again. When he was preparing for the final resistance, the Ming capital Chenliu had been breached by Li Shimin.
It turned out that Li Shimin and Cao Cao had planned for a long time. Cao Cao used his main force to attract the attention of the Ming army, while Li Shimin led a partial division to take the mountain road, bypass the battlefield, and surprise the Ming capital Chenliu, destroying the Ming Dynasty in one battle.
As Li and Cao expected, Li Zicheng resisted the Han army's attack on Chenliu, and he brought most of Yanzhou's troops over, leaving Chenliu with only 5,000 defenders.
In order to avoid the sight of the Ming army, Li Shimin only brought 4,000 elite troops with him for this surprise attack. They were not discovered until they were ten miles away from Chenliu.
The Han army reached the capital, which was a bolt from the blue for the people in the city, so panic was inevitable.
Li Shimin falsely claimed that he had an army of 50,000 and mobilized a huge momentum. Seeing this, the defenders in the city immediately panicked.
In the end, under the instigation of the noble families in the city, some of the defenders took the initiative to open the city gate and turned against the Ming Dynasty loyalists.
Li Shimin watched the Ming army fight among themselves, and attacked Chenliu at the critical moment, easily achieving the greatest success in destroying the Ming Dynasty.
