Chapter 2257 The Door God Breaks the Divine General in Battle, Cloud Dragon Blade Slashes the Old Han General
In the initial battle of the Four Minor Dynasties, the Han Dynasty deployed 50,000 border troops led by Su Dingfang, 50,000 troops from Shenglan Road led by Meng Wu, and 100,000 central imperial guards led by Hulü Guang.

The total number of troops in all units was 200,000.

However, after Su Dingfang destroyed the Great Sword Dynasty, Wang Yu decided to expand Su Dingfang's border army to 100,000.

It just so happened that it was already winter at that time, and Su Dingfang and Wu Bing'er were basically in a standoff, with the frictions remaining on a small scale.

Despite the relatively low intensity of the battle, Su Dingfang reorganized the captured troops of Dajian on the spot and temporarily recruited some strong men, thus expanding his border army to 100,000.

Therefore, starting from the fourth year of the Yuanshi era, after Emperor Wu of Han launched his second war, the number of troops that Su Dingfang could mobilize, combined with the troops on both fronts, rose to 250,000.

At this time, Wu Bing'er, who was facing off against Su Dingfang, had a similar number of troops after she reorganized the troops of Da Hao.

A difference of 10,000 to 20,000 troops, while not entirely without impact on a war of this scale, certainly has a negligible effect.

Therefore, with limited resources allocated to the Great Wu, the initial battles between the four minor dynasties were essentially a stalemate, with both sides experiencing wins and losses, and neither side able to gain a decisive advantage.

After all, neither side's commanders were mediocre; each was extremely cautious in every step they took, and neither would leave any opening for the other.

It was precisely because neither side could gain the upper hand for a time, and because Wu Zetian had also brought over a portion of the people from Xicang, that the conflict arose.

After all, in Wu Zetian's view, if the people of Xicang didn't step up to deal with the Han who had seized the Da Cang territory, then who would?
Therefore, Wu Changsheng was able to have the time to appear at Liangguan with Wu Zhao.

However, it was precisely because Wu Changsheng appeared on the Liangguan battlefield that he was directly killed by Li Yuanba with a single hammer blow.

As a result, the Great Wu then increased its troops by another 100,000 on the battlefields of the four minor dynasties.

Moreover, even Guan Yue and Yue Yunlong were personally invited out of seclusion by the emperor of the Great Wu Dynasty and appeared on the battlefield of the four minor dynasties.

From this point onward, on the battlefield of the four minor dynasties, the power that Wu Bing'er could control began to surpass the power that Su Dingfang could control.

Moreover, due to Wu Changsheng's death, after the arrival of reinforcements from Da Wu, Da Wu became very aggressive in the ensuing battles, launching several fierce attacks on the defensive lines set up by Su Dingfang.

Although Guan Yue kept a very low profile and rarely appeared in the military camp.

However, this did not escape the notice of the Luo Wang's investigation. The Luo Wang branch of the Great Wu Kingdom promptly relayed the news that Guan Yue had also joined the battle to Su Dingfang.

Therefore, Su Dingfang was actually prepared for Guan Yue's appearance on the battlefield.

However, what Su Dingfang really didn't expect was Yue Yunlong's performance in this battle, as a newcomer to Da Wu.

In fact, according to the intelligence from Luo Wang, this person is Guan Yue's disciple. It would be unreasonable for Su Dingfang to underestimate him.

After all, he comes from a prestigious family. Although this person has never been on the battlefield, we don't know exactly how strong he is.

However, during the great battle, Su Dingfang still sent his veteran general Yi Ke to deal with him personally. But it was precisely in this battle that Yi Ke was killed.

Yue Yunlong's strength indeed exceeded Yi Ke and Su Dingfang's expectations.

From the very beginning of the battle, Yi Ke was at a disadvantage. Even with his excellent combat experience and the help of Qin Qiong and Yuchi Gong, the combined strength of the three of them was not enough.

Even during this process, Qin Qiong broke through to the level of Divine General from the peak of Heavenly Rank. However, the three of them did not last long against the enemy.

Or rather, the reason why the three of them were able to hold out against the opponent for such a short period of time was because the opponent lacked battlefield experience, rather than because of their strength.

As the battle progressed, Yi Ke, knowing defeat was inevitable, sacrificed his life to hold off Yue Yunlong for a moment. Coupled with Yue Yunlong's slight lack of experience, this bought the heavily injured Qin Qiong and Yuchi Gong time to break through.

However, the veteran Yi Ke remained on the battlefield forever.

And this is the most heartbreaking loss for the Han Dynasty in this battle.

What Wang Yu and Su Dingfang didn't know was that in the original historical trajectory, the Divine Blade General Yue Yunlong was the pillar of the Great Wu Dynasty after Ning Baitou and Wu Changsheng, the future number one general of the Great Wu Dynasty, and was known as the number one swordsman in the world.

In the unification war of Emperor Ling, he fought five battles with Ximen Zun, one of the Five Dragon Generals, with both sides winning three and losing two.

He and Ximen Zun, one of the Five Dragons Generals, were masters of the same level. They were basically evenly matched, and even if a winner was decided, it would be after hundreds of rounds that one of them would barely win by a single move.

In the end, it was Luo Tian, ​​also one of the Five Dragons Generals, who intervened and seriously injured Yue Yunlong before the final battle.

Subsequently, due to the increasingly fierce offensive of Li Xu, who was then the general in charge of pacifying the west of the new dynasty, Yue Yunlong had no choice but to fight with injuries. He eventually died at the hands of Luo Tian, ​​which brought a brilliant end to his military career.

In the battle of Su Dingfang, due to the death of the veteran general Yi Ke and the double injuries of the two fierce generals Qin Qiong and Yuchi Gong, Su Dingfang's flank battlefield completely collapsed, and the rebuilt elite Flying Eagle Cavalry of Dawu was completely uncontrollable.

Led by Da Wu's generals, they appeared poised to charge towards Su Dingfang's main central army.

Meanwhile, Chu Qingtian, who was fighting Guan Yue, was ultimately no match for Guan Yue and was forced to retreat in a panic after being injured.

Fortunately, they were met by Lu Junyi halfway there, which saved them from danger.

Although he suffered some injuries, he thankfully survived.

However, General She Biao, who was with Lu Junyi to meet Chu Qingtian, used his flying whip technique to whip Guan Yue, the first protector of the Confucian school, but Guan Yue broke through with an absolute difference in strength and then killed him with a single blow.

After all, She Biao was only a top-tier general. Once his flying whip technique was broken, he was no match for a master like Guan Yue.

With the flank battle completely collapsed and Su Dingfang believing that victory was hopeless, he could only cut his losses and seek survival by leaving the former General Wang Kai and General Qiang Zhonglisu with a portion of the troops to cover the rear. Only in this way could he preserve his main force and retreat from his first line of defense to the second line of defense.

Wang Kai and Qiang Zhonglisu also died tragically in the process of covering the retreat, both of them killed by Yue Yunlong.
