Chapter 725: One battle to decide the outcome
Yanmen, Juzhushan, Liu Xiu's Han army, and Li Shimin's Tang army fought continuously with Temujin's Mongol army. Rivers of blood flowed, and Temujin's Mongolian army was always blocked at Juzhushan.
The number of cavalry brought by Temujin was too large. Liu Xiu and Li Shimin formed a coalition army, and their strength was somewhat stretched.
Liu Xiu even led Geng Yan, Wang Ba, Cen Peng and other Yuntai generals to gallop into the battle and engage in a cavalry duel with Temujin.
Thousands of horses galloped, sand and dust rolled, and countless cavalry fought in Yanmen, falling like dumplings.
The Qie Xue Army, the Youzhou Assault Cavalry, the Xuan Jia Army, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, the Chain Horse, and the Tiger-patterned Armored Cavalry. These high-level cavalry also became cannon fodder and died in large numbers.
Temujin knew that this large-scale march south would be equivalent to spending a lot of money. If he lost, Temujin's status as the overlord outside the Great Wall would not be guaranteed, so he continuously summoned cavalry from the Xiongnu, Rouran, Xianbei, Khitan, Qihu and other tribes to gather in Yanmen and launch an attack.
Round after round of offensives, trying to break through the Great Wall formed by the Han and Tang coalition forces.
Liu Xiu left the battlefield in person, and Temujin also went into battle in person, leading the Mongolian Empire's most powerful Qixue army to violently attack the Han and Tang coalition forces.
Subutai, Zhebie, Dragai, Shuchi, Meng Ge, Wang Baobao and other Mongolian and Yuan generals were like a pack of wolves hunting around, continuing to tear into the defense lines of the Han and Tang coalition forces.
Both sides suffered heavy casualties, but it was difficult to dismount from the tiger, so they could only continue to invest troops, which turned into an unprecedentedly brutal meat-and-tussle battle.
The Battle of Yanmen involved not only three emperors, but also heroes such as Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Tuoba Gui, Tuoba Tao, Tuoba Hong, and Murong Ba, as well as Mongol Khans such as Meng Ge and Kublai Khan.
"It seems that the meteorite must be summoned again."
Liu Xiu saw that several Yuntai generals were killed in the Yanmen Battle, and some Yuntai generals were shot into pieces by Qie Xue's army. More than 300,000 Han troops were killed in the battle. Liu Xiu became furious and decided to use the talent of summoning meteorites again.
.
Grand Situ Deng Yu advised: "Your Majesty, summoning extraterrestrial beings again and again has caused irreversible damage to your dragon body. If this continues, I'm afraid you will... die young!"
Liu Xiu's talent for summoning meteorites is indeed terrifying, but it has a negative effect that only Liu Xiu, Deng Yu and a few others know. That is, every time it is used, Liu Xiu will enter a weak state that lasts for several months and will also shorten Liu Xiu's lifespan.
If the enemy is Wang Mang, Liu Xiu can defeat Wang Mang by using it once. However, there are too many powerful enemies in this world, so Liu Xiu has to summon meteorites again and again.
Liu Xiu was in his prime, and his temples were already turning white because he relied too much on this power.
As Liu Xiu's friend, Deng Yu had to dissuade Liu Xiu.
"If they are allowed to enter the pass, the Central Plains will be devastated. As the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, I would rather pay the price to stop them at Yanmen Pass!"
Liu Xiu had his own arrogance and wanted to defeat Temujin even if he was seriously injured.
"well."
Deng Yu had no choice but to prepare various supplements for Liu Xiu after he entered a weak state.
"The Emperor of Han has issued an order, and meteorites will fall from the sky!"
Li Shimin and Yuchi Jingde led the Xuanjia Army to fight out of the Mongolian army and received advance notice from Liu Xiu.
"Liu Xiu is going to use that trick again. It's good to end it with Temujin and other nomadic tribes once and for all!"
Li Shimin shot off several treasure bows, Yuchi Jingde broke off several horse sticks, and not a single one of the most elite Xuanjia troops of the Tang army remained.
The civil war between Li Shimin and Liu Xiu cost a lot of elite soldiers of the Tang army. On the opposite side were not only the Turks, but also the Mongols, Huns, and Xianbei. Li Shimin also fought very hard, and dozens of Tang army generals were killed.
Since Liu Xiu is willing to pay the price and fight Temujin to the death, Li Shimin's pressure will be much less.
"This is……!"
Zhao Ponu mingled with the Huns' army and fought with Liu Xiu. When he saw a sudden fire in the clouds above the battlefield, Zhao Ponu immediately reacted. Liu Xiu was going to summon a meteorite to defeat Temujin!
"Speed up the march!"
To the west of Yanmen County, a group of cavalry was marching rapidly, covered in dust.
Shortly after the battle at Yumen Pass ended, Zhang Hua immediately sent his troops eastward to aid Yanmen.
In addition to completely defeating Temujin in order to annex Mobei in the future, Zhang Hua also wanted to expand his sphere of influence to the territories of Li Shimin and Liu Xiu.
The Battle of Yanmen almost exhausted the elite forces of Liu Xiu and Li Shimin.
Temujin's move south objectively helped Zhang Hua consume Liu Xiu's strength.
In this melee, all the forces of all parties declined, and Zhang Hua had the opportunity to annex Liu Xiu's forces.
If there is a serious confrontation, annexing the land north of the Yellow River may not be possible for three to five years.
"Is Liu Xiu going to summon meteorites again?"
Zhang Hua rode a divine horse, together with Huo Qubing, Yang Miaozhen, Wang Yanzhang, Zhao Yun, Ma Chao and other generals, galloping. From a distance, he could see the sky at the end, and the clouds were glowing with fire. He knew that Liu Xiu was about to summon meteorites to break through the sky again.
enemy.
According to the inferences of Zhuge Liang, Wang Meng, Wang Shouren and other advisers, Liu Xiu must pay a high price for summoning meteorites.
"Liu Xiu is overdrawing his luck. It seems that the time has come for my lord to unify the world."
Wang Shouren followed Zhang Hua to help Yanmen, saw a strange vision in the sky and earth, and vaguely realized that Liu Xiu's luck was about to end.
Liu Xiu has summoned meteorites no less than four times, and this may be the fifth time.
In addition, many of Liu Xiu's elite soldiers were consumed by Temujin, and the fortune of the Son of the Plane could not be sustained as it is now.
"Defeat Temujin, and then use the situation to force Liu Xiu to surrender."
Zhang Hua's eyes were fiery. He had endured it for three years and accumulated troops just for today!
The mighty Xia Army cavalry are approaching the Yanmen battlefield...
At the Pengcheng battlefield, Hongwu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang sent the military sage Sun Wu to help Fan Zeng's Chu army, and fought fiercely with Wu Mu Yue Fei. Yue Fei retreated slightly in the face of Sun Wu's Feng Linshan offensive.
However, the armies of Sun Ce, Zhou Yu, Xie Xuan, and Zhang Xutuo defeated Fancheng and Xiangyang, destroyed the Jingzhou forces of Emperor Wu of the Song Dynasty Liu Yu, and captured all the Jingzhou navy.
"It's time to go south to Jiangdong."
"Jiangdong..."
Sun Jian, Sun Ce, Zhou Yu, Gan Ning, Lu Meng, Huang Gai and other military generals were all very familiar with Jiangdong.
Although it was Zhu Yuanzhang who occupied Jiangdong, he really had no geographical advantage against Sun Ce, Zhou Yu, Xie Xuan, Xie An and others who made their fortune in Jiangdong.
Sui Dynasty generals such as Han Qinhu and He Ruobi also captured Jiangdong.
What's more, Zhou Yu and Xie Xuan's navy sailed down the river and had the upper hand.
"My lord has an order. When Han Xin's army comes out of Sichuan and Shu, it will join the Jingzhou army and attack Jiangdong together!"
When Zhou Yu and Xie Xuan were eager to attack Jiangdong, Zhang Hua's order came.
"It seems that Han Xin has captured Bashu."
"As expected of a soldier, Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty, could not stop him."
"It is said that the soldiers and horses of the Nanman tribe were also incited and made great contributions in pacifying Bashu."
"Then follow the orders of King Xia, continue to build warships, and wait patiently for the soldiers and horses of Bashu to arrive in Jiangling."
Zhou Yu and Xie Xuan made a brief inventory. The total number of soldiers and horses used by the Xia Kingdom to conquer Bashu and Jingzhou exceeded two million. Adding the soldiers who surrendered in the Western Han Dynasty and Liu Song, the number of troops used to conquer Jiangdong would only be even more.
.
Even Zhu Yuanzhang could not stop two to three million troops from flowing down the river, and his opponents were famous generals such as Han Xin, Deng Ai, Zhou Yu, Xie Xuan, Zhang Xutuo, and Qin Qiong.
