Nightmare Era

Chapter 224 Three families return to Xia·Unification of Ming Dynasty

The Three Kingdoms are in a standing position and have not yet been unified. Although Daxia has a high winning rate, if Zhu Ming of the Tang Dynasty operates properly, he may not be unable to make a comeback.

But even if the overall situation is uncertain, those who place bets in advance are like crucian carp crossing the river.

Many aristocratic families even wanted to send gifts directly to Yang Ning's palace. Fortunately, Daxia had a department dedicated to handling foreign affairs. Only then did many people feel Yang Ning's foresight.

As early as when the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was born, Xiahua was a small country and its people were weak, and there was no foreign affairs at all.

But in the past few years since the department was established, it has already developed a mature and stable diplomatic team with a cosmic mind. They are open-minded internally and neither humble nor arrogant externally. They have really given the feudal dynasty and sects handed down from generation to generation in Taiheng a glimpse of what they have learned. It's called diplomacy.

Compared with Daxia, Datang and Ming were lagging behind.

The latitude of the Ming Dynasty is low, so the winter is not cold. In addition, the food has been planted at this time, and there is a long growing season.

Since it doesn't harm farming, it is naturally a very good window period for war.

Daxia went north to contact Meng Tian in Beiyuan and did not hold him accountable.

As long as he can come back, not only can he be restored to his original position, but he can also be made a marquis and general based on Meng Tian's performance in Beiyuan!

Meng Tian was not a person with strong desires, and most of his soldiers were from Qin. Although the battle in Beiyuan went smoothly, he had no relatives and heard that Qin was destroyed in the rear, so he wanted to go home to see his parents, wife and children.

Seeing Da Xia's sincere attitude, he also thought about Da Xia's good reputation before: Yue Fei could still lead troops to fight, Liu Bei could also go to court to discuss politics, and Fu Su also held the post of Doctor of Classics and was not liquidated.

Meng Tian contacted his family again and made sure that his wife and children were safe and sound. His younger brother was also sent to the military academy. It showed that his future was unlimited, and he finally agreed to return to Xia.

Daxia sent 40 infantry troops to switch defenses with Meng Tian, ​​otherwise the territory that Meng Tian had worked so hard to gain could not be lost.

Meng Yi brought back 160 million troops, of which the excess were recruited during the war, so he took them with him.

With this coming and going, Daxia's military strength increased by another 120 million.

In addition to the 220 million in Zhuge Liang's hands and the 110 million in Yue Fei's hands, Daxia's available troops actually reached 450 million!
This is just the old army from the feudal period!

As Daxia expands its territory, new armies are constantly being deployed. Currently, the number of armies arranged according to numbers has reached 36!

Each army has nearly 5 men, and the first to No. 30 armies add up to a total of 180 million men!
Although this number is small, the combat effectiveness is actually very strong. If we want to fight the other 450 million, 2000 people may be enough!

Previously, this unit had only dispatched two tank brigades and one transport brigade.

"The battle for unification should be fought sooner rather than later, faster rather than slower!" In January of the 28th year of the Daxia calendar, Chen Ke, as the prime minister of the Daxia cabinet, gave a speech on TV and ordered Zhuge Liang to attack from the north and Yue Fei to attack from the south. Advance together and attack Datang and Zhu Ming respectively!

Zhuge Liang is a strong man who can mine nine mines from one mine, not to mention that he is the one who owns nine mines now.

Moreover, in addition to leading his own 70 troops, 80 of whom were selected from the descendants of the Great Wei, Chu, and Han Dynasties, he also took away 80 of Mengtian's subordinates from the Great Qin, for a total of 230 million people.

There is no shortage of resources and soldiers, and the coach is Zhuge Liang. When I see this combination, my heart trembles!

Not to mention Yue Fei, it is easy to shake the mountains, but it is difficult to shake the Yue Family Army. He will freeze to death without demolishing the house and starve to death without grabbing food. Although the Yue Family Army is still a feudal army, it already has the military spirit of the modern People's Liberation Army. Such an army, think about it Just terrible.

Moreover, Li Shimin knew Zhuge Liang's story, and Zhu Yuanzhang also knew Yue Fei's story, so naturally he would not underestimate it.

This war also attracted the attention of the world.

There are hundreds of immortal cultivators who do not practice cultivation but fly high in the sky to broadcast live broadcasts. There are billions of viewers squatting in these live broadcast rooms all year round. There are people from the Great Xia and the Tang Dynasty, Zhu Ming, and even more ordinary people outside. From morning to night, Not only are the number of people not decreasing, but they are increasing.

These immortal cultivators don't just live broadcast, they have been broadcasting since the Ming Dynasty. If they don't understand war, they won't be able to retain the audience.

So not only do they understand, but in order to understand better than the audience, they also have to learn a lot of military knowledge on their own.

If you don't do this, you won't be able to beat other peers.

"Anchor, why don't they even fly during the march, right?" someone asked in the live broadcast room.

"Many people have asked this question!" A cultivator named Wang Bai replied: "I will explain again, there is a profession in these armies called snipers. You walk on the ground quietly, and the armies form formations with each other. It is defensive, but if you are flying alone in the sky, you will easily become a target for snipers!"

"Those snipers are very powerful. They kill people dozens of kilometers away and they don't even know how they died!"

"Why can the anchor fly?"

Wang Bai explained: "We have applied for live broadcast permissions from various countries. As you can see, this is the brand. It is an identification mark between friend and foe. With this thing, we will not become the target of snipers!"

"What? Are you talking about wearing this brand to fight? Do you think I am a fool? The height we can fly is also regulated. If you dare to fly randomly, I will shoot you down!"

"What, will my live broadcast leak secrets like this? It will definitely happen, but how do you know that what I leaked in the live broadcast room was not deliberately leaked by the generals below? You must know that if an army does not want to be discovered by us or mobile phones , that’s also very easy!”

Zhuge Liang did take advantage of the anchor.

After he knew that his opponent was Li Shimin, he went to investigate Li Shimin's life, and then sighed.

If this was my boss, how could the Northern Expedition be so tiring?
However, Daxia is not bad now, with ample logistics and strong soldiers and strong obedience. The soldiers who come out of the new barracks can follow orders and prohibitions, no worse than the soldiers he has trained for more than half a year.

When had Zhuge Liang ever fought such a rich war?

According to his intelligence, Li Shimin was personally very strong and had excellent troop leadership skills, especially good at cavalry charges.

Use the cavalry to charge into the formation, and then drive the dispersed infantry in the direction of the remaining infantry like a herd of sheep. The collapsed infantry will disperse the neatly formed infantry, causing a collapse of the entire battlefield.

If this move is used correctly, it is easy to achieve a huge advantage with a very small force, or even reverse the situation of the battle.

His dozens of cavalry defeated [-], Li Jing's [-] cavalry defeated the Turks, and Zhang Liao's [-] cavalry defeated Sun Quan's [-] infantry. They were basically defeated in this way.

Chen Qingzhi during the Southern and Northern Dynasties was also good at this method, so he led [-] white-robed troops to attack and win every battle.

However, this method is simple to say, but there are only a few people who can use it throughout the ages, because this method extremely tests the general's adaptability, ability to capture the battle situation, and leadership ability.

It just so happened that Li Shimin had all these abilities.

Since this is Li Shimin's favorite technique, he will naturally use it on the battlefield.

Moreover, in the world of cultivating immortals, horses with demon blood, coupled with monks with seven or eight or even tenth level of physical body, charge like human tanks, and their strength and difficulty are even higher.

In ancient times, there were not many ways to deal with cavalry charges. During the Three Kingdoms period, there were traps and euphorbias. Yue Fei had a hook-and-scythe gun that was designed to defeat iron crippled horses. Li Ling also used a crossbow to carry it for many days.

In modern times, there are even more ways to deal with it.

For example, the Maxin machine gun that made the Mongolians sing and dance, and the Gatling that emits blue fire, are both the fathers of the cavalry.

Gatling bullets that use tungsten core armor-piercing bullets can even kill demon horses. If the bullets are replaced by spiritual weapon bullets, even Qi Refining monks will have to escape.

If a rune chip is added to the bullet and the power of the magic nightmare is used beyond the limit, its power will be painful even for spiritual magic realm monks to resist.

It has never been said that firearms cannot compete in high-end games. You only need to upgrade the firearms into magic weapons, spiritual weapons, treasure weapons, Tao weapons, and nightmare weapons.

And the method Zhuge Liang used this time was also very simple, trap him in a trap!
The reason why firearms or mines and grenades were not used was mainly because Zhuge Liang knew that Daxia had passed a resolution. This war was the last war for the unification of Daxia, and it was also the last glory of the old army in the cold weapon era.

After that, all soldiers from the Three Kingdoms, Song Dynasty, Ming Dynasty, and even Tang Dynasty will retire and become ordinary people to get married and have children in Daxia.

The future wars will all be dominated by thermal weapons.

Of course, there are also considerations for hiding moves without using hot weapons, as well as taking care of the mood of the general and even the opponent.

After all, in the era of hot weapons, the role of military generals began to be greatly weakened, and now it is rare for the two armies to confront each other.

More often than not, just after arriving on the battlefield, there was a rumble of bombings in the sky, and then the war was over.

Through the scenes in the live broadcast room, Li Shimin confirmed that Daxia's troops were mainly infantry, and they were sword and shield soldiers who were not very capable of restraining cavalry.

Of course, he also knew how powerful Zhuge Liang was, but after all, he had never really faced off against him.

Moreover, he sincerely looked down upon Sima Yi and other Zhuge Liang's opponents. He thought it was good that Zhuge Liang was invincible, but that was because he had not met me.

So, take a shot?
The civil servants under his command are all used to govern the country. In terms of strategy, because he is so good at strategy, others can't say anything.

Li Shimin felt that he could fight, so Wei Zheng spoke: "Your Majesty, as the saying goes: A gentleman does not stand behind a dangerous wall. Our Tang Dynasty now has many soldiers and generals. Since the strategy is appropriate, it is not a bad idea to find another good general to execute it!" After all, this is not the period of starting a business. You have so many subordinates, can you just pick one to go out to fight? I think Li Jing is good!
Feeling Wei Zheng's eyes, Li Jing clasped his hands and said, "The last general invites you to fight!"

"Zhuge Liang is strict in his military management. Although the number of infantry is huge, the formation is tight and well-organized." Li Shimin shook his head, I know you are very powerful, but I still believe in myself more.

Of course, the most important thing is that Zhuge Liang is on the opposite side!
But a thousand and eight hundred years have passed, and there are still countless netizens trying to use college students, Paimon, instant noodles, Longjiang pig's trotter rice and other messy things to try to win him over!

Li Shimin felt his blood boiling at the thought of being able to fight Zhuge Liang and show off his skills in front of Zhuge Liang.

If this operation is not good, Erfeng will feel that even if he wins Daxia and becomes emperor, he will not be happy when he thinks back to this day!

Of course, rush, rush, but rush with a strategy. Rushing without thinking is called recklessness.

Erfeng led eight hundred fine cavalry out of Luo City and marched for more than [-] miles, finally arriving in front of Zhuge Liang's formation.

Zhuge Liang was also watching the live broadcast, and naturally knew that the two phoenixes were dispatched, so he had already put up a shield and set up a formation to prevent the two phoenixes from rushing into the formation.

The two phoenixes swam around but did not rush. They only wandered around and shot arrows. After half an hour, all the arrows on their bodies were shot, and then they clapped their horses and left.

That's right, he used the Mongol tactics of later generations: pull!
Xia's army suffered little loss, but it greatly damaged morale. Zhuge Liang could only appease the soldiers and continue marching.

But Erfeng returned to the city, changed his horses, replenished his arrows, and came again!

The short distance of 1000 and [-] miles could have been reached in one day at the speed of the soldiers in the physical realm, but under the harassment of Erfeng, it took them two and a half days.

Li Shimin was not injured during the entire journey. More than 400 Liang soldiers died and 3000 were injured.

There were so many injuries before the battle even started, and the morale of Liang's army suddenly dropped extremely seriously.

Zhuge Liang comforted him, but the effect was not very good. The reason was that most of his troops came from Da Qin, Da Wei, Da Chu, and Da Han.

They were all soldiers from his previous dynasty and had never heard of the legend of Zhuge Liang.

Even among the 70 Shu Han soldiers, only 20 had fought with him, and the remaining 50 were recruited in Taiheng, and they were unaware of his departure.

If the soldiers of later generations say that their leader is Zhuge Liang, not to mention the death of [-] people, the [-] soldiers will still be able to maintain combat effectiveness!
But Zhuge Liang also understands this matter, and his morale is not enough for technology.

During the day, he ordered the soldiers to set up camp and have a proper rest. At night, he sent his own soldiers to dig horse traps at critical locations without letting anyone know.

They also sent out rare cavalry to drive away the Tang army's scouts and kill those who approached.

It went on like this for three days, but nothing happened.

Li Shimin watched the live broadcast for a long time, and saw the dejected look of the soldiers in the camp. He concluded that although Zhuge Liang was capable, the most soldiers he commanded at one time was less than [-] when he left Qishan.

It is very likely that he will not be able to handle these more than 200 million soldiers!

He has been hiding in the camp these days, mostly to appease the soldiers.

If they were given time and the soldiers' emotions completely recovered, then the Tang Army would be facing a unit with no flaws and a united force!

Therefore, the day to charge into battle is today!
That night, Li Shimin led [-] Qi Refining Essence Riders, each with their own titles, horses picking bells, and running concealment techniques. They set out from Luocheng. After accelerating for several miles, they reached their maximum speed at the gate of Zhuge Liang's Stronghold.

"Boom!" Several gun shadows directly blasted open the village gate, and three thousand fine cavalry filed in!

Li Shimin was walking in the front, wearing black armor and high spirits!

Then, he felt the horse's hoof tremble and the whole horse fell down!

"Trapped in a horse trap? How is that possible!" Li Shimin immediately flew up to prevent them from falling together and being trampled by the cavalry behind him, his face darkened.

You must know that the horse he is riding is not an ordinary horse. It is a demon horse. Not only is it powerful, but it also has sharp ears and eyes. It can see the ground clearly at night, and it can also sense the emptiness of the ground through the vibration of its feet!

It is impossible to step into a normal horse trap!
And
Accompanied by the sounds of people flipping over, screams, screams, howls, and kicks.

This is the sound of an incandescent light coming on.

The camp that was dark just now is now as bright as day!
Li Shimin felt the warmth at his temples, his face as dark as ink.

Warmth may not necessarily mean good feelings, it may also be the actual murderous intention.

He had no doubt that if he tried to escape, he would receive a thunderous blow.

This is to attack the camp. If you win, one horse can equal a thousand, and you will become famous.

If you lose, you will have nothing, and you will never recover.

Feeling something in his heart, Li Shimin looked sideways and saw a four-wheeled vehicle floating in the air, flying smoothly and quickly in front of him.

"You lose!" Zhuge Liang laughed.

"Did you know that I would rob the camp?" Li Shimin asked curiously.

"Liang can't calculate, how can he predict what will happen next?" Zhuge Liang shook his head: "I just overthought it.

"A gentleman doesn't stand behind a dangerous wall, let alone a monarch whose whole country's security depends on him. What do you think?"

He actually led his troops to rob the camp!
Li Shimin blushed and was embarrassed to express his thoughts. He could only shake his head: "Zhuge Wolong is well-deserved! But if I say that I don't agree with you, can you let me go?"

He wanted to imitate Meng Huo, but this time he was careless, and he would not lose so easily next time.

Zhuge Liang shook his head. You are not Meng Huo, and the Tang Dynasty is not a southern barbarian. If you are not careless, this battle may not be finished in three to five years!
Thinking of this, Zhuge Liang was suddenly startled. So, did the adult have any thoughts behind this?
He thought for a moment and shook his head. Why should such things be so clearly distinguished?

The monarch of the Tang Dynasty was captured and without a leader, he was naturally defeated.

This way of defeat has caused countless people to complain. It is obvious that they have a lot of troops and their strength is not weak.

The soldiers are forced to appear, and everyone fights for real. The outcome is still uncertain!
As a result, you took a different approach and tried to rob the camp?

Maybe he won too much in the mortal world and developed a habit of thinking?
But your opponent this time is Zhuge Liang, not Xue Rengao, Wang Shichong, and Liu Heitai.

Moreover, Zhuge Liang himself is also an expert at stealing camps. How could you steal a camp?

Li Shimin's operation also taught countless monarchs or sect leaders a lesson.

From then on, no matter how fierce the war was, few sect leaders or sect leaders went to the battlefield, for fear that the sect leader would be captured and his sect would be directly defeated.

Not to mention the defeat of the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Army and Bai Qi's Qin Army were almost completely inherited by the Xia Dynasty.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Yue Fei were fighting back and forth when they suddenly heard the bad news and stood angrily on the top of the city and scolded Li Shimin for a long time.

Yue Fei was also of a very high rank, and Zhu Yuanzhang had all the elite civil servants and generals, plus he had superior military strength, so he could only fight him at a [-]-[-] draw.

But all his troops were on the front line. As a result, now that the Tang Dynasty had fallen, his rear area was suddenly empty.

Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it and couldn't find a way to break the situation from Yue Fei and Zhuge Liang. Moreover, these two people were famous for their loyalty in later generations, so there was no way to alienate them.

These two people were already difficult to deal with, and now there is Li Shimin who wants to prove that he is not that good. He has a lot of troops but has never fought a battle. His leaders are always stolen, and he is very angry.

Zhu Yuanzhang stayed on the front line for another week, but was captured all the way to the rear. Wang Shouren, whom he trusted, could not withstand Zhuge Liang. Li Shimin and Bai Qi joined forces and were defeated and captured.
In the end, Zhu Yuanzhang could only lament that his magical power was not as good as the sky.

If he had been alone, he might have killed himself.

But in this world, Queen Ma is alive, and so is Zhu Biao and Zhu Xiongying.

It was the time when his children and grandchildren were at his knees, enjoying the joy of family harmony, how could Zhu Yuanzhang be willing to die.

Li Shimin is actually similar, he also has a maid named Bai Yueguang Guanyin.

So, on March 28, the 3th year of the Daxia calendar, Zhu Yuanzhang signed a seal to surrender.

Since then, the last separatist force in the Ming Dynasty has been destroyed, and the Ming Dynasty has been unified and renamed the Xia Dynasty!
