Chapter 2526 Famous General of the An Lushan Rebellion, God of War of the Ming Dynasty
Yang Youji, as a god-level archer, naturally has sufficient value.
However, compared to the three who were left behind, his value is incomparable.
Luo Shixin and Huang Mei are both genuine high-level god-level warriors. Even though he is a god-level archer, he cannot compare to these two in terms of value.
Although Ao Moang is only a mid-level god-level general, there are very few naval warfare gods like him, even within the system.
In this respect alone, Yang Youji is incomparable, let alone Nangong Changwan.
"Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining Luo Shixin, with Command 20, Martial Strength 108, Intelligence 22, Politics 20, and Charisma 80."
Carried: Iron-clad Overlord Spear.
Implanted identity: Son of Luo Rong, sworn brother of Qin Qiong. Although born with superhuman strength, capable of uprooting mountains and shaking peaks, he is mentally challenged and therefore stays by Qin Qiong's side, where Qin Qiong takes care of him.
For Wang Yu, successfully drawing one of the two high-level god-level generals from the list of candidates for this summoning is a pretty good start.
"Ding, the host has accumulated five summons, and the balance will be activated soon..."
Although this time he will have to summon five times, Wang Yu had already summoned four times once after the previous balancing.
Therefore, a balancing event will still be triggered in the middle of these five summons.
"Ding, the number one balancer, Shi Siming, Command 99, Martial Prowess 90, Intelligence 95, Politics 84, Charisma 80."
Implanted identity: General under Tuoba Changping.
Carrying: An Lushan, An Qingxu, An Qingzong, Cai Xide, Gao Xiuyan, Ashina Chengqing, An Shouzhong, Li Guiren, Tian Qianzhen, An Zhongzhi, Li Lijie, Tian Chengsi, Wu Lingxun, Niu Tingjie, Cui Qianyou, Gao Shang, Yan Zhuang, Zhang Xun.
Shi Siming is a remarkable figure, with countless famous generals and strategists under his command, a significant portion of whom are Heaven-level talents, and even a small number of them are among the best of the Heaven-level.
These people were the most elite members of the An Lushan Rebellion rebel group, and in terms of quality, they were not much inferior to the Li Tang's suppression group.
Shi Siming, the most important general, led an army of 50,000 in the Battle of Yecheng and fought fiercely against nine military governors. He single-handedly captured Weizhou, killed 30,000 soldiers and defeated the nine military governors, thus gaining the status of the new monarch of Great Yan.
In addition, he had other remarkable achievements. In the fourteenth year of the Tianbao era, Shi Siming led a large army to capture Changshan and captured Yan Liangqing alive. In the fifteenth year of the Tianbao era, he led a large army to defeat 12,000 soldiers under the command of Yan Zhenqing. In the Battle of Mangshan, he led an army of 50,000 to defeat 80,000 Tang soldiers.
In addition, there was An Shouzhong, who was definitely another key general of the rebel army besides Shi Siming.
Chen Tao defeated Fang Guan in the Battle of Xie, drove away Wang Sili in the Battle of Wugong, and almost fought his way to Li Heng.
The Battle of Yongfengcang forced Pugu Huai'en to dive into the water, while the Long Snake Formation in the Battle of Qingqu inflicted heavy casualties on Guo Ziyi, causing him to wail and scream in terror.
Even in the later disastrous Battle of Xiangji Temple, which nearly wiped out Guo Ziyi's 150,000 troops, they were ultimately no match for the superior performance of Li Siye and the Uyghurs.
It can be said that during the An Lushan Rebellion, there were two major adversaries: Li Guangbi vs. Shi Siming, and Guo Ziyi vs. An Shouzhong.
If these individuals were to encounter each other, there would be wins and losses for each of them; none of them would have an absolute chance of victory.
However, these rebel generals, due to their status and other reasons, were not as well-known as Li and Guo. But in terms of ability, they were not necessarily inferior to them.
"Ding, the second balancer, Xu Da, with Command 101, Martial Strength 96, Intelligence 95, Politics 84, and Charisma 90."
Implanted identity: A general under Zhu Yuanzhang, who, together with Qiu Taiping, split up their forces to jointly destroy Han Chen.
Accompanying: Li Shanchang, Zhang Zhong, Ye Dui, Tao An, Hu Weiyong, Wang Guangyang, Chen Yu, Qin Conglong, Song Lian.
Zhu Yuanzhang and his son Zhu Di were both exemplary rulers who rose to power through military campaigns. Even setting aside their imperial status, they would undoubtedly be among the most outstanding generals.
Especially Zhu Yuanzhang, but as certified by great men, no one in history could surpass Li Shimin in military prowess, and Zhu Yuanzhang was second only to him.
Both father and son were formidable warriors. Zhu Yuanzhang personally led most of the battles he fought from the beginning of his reign, with Zhu Di providing support.
It wasn't until Qiu Taiping came along that Zhu Yuanzhang finally had a truly capable general under his command, at least he no longer needed to personally lead every battle.
The emergence of Xu Tiande has given Zhu Yuanzhang an even greater advantage, truly enabling his forces to fight on multiple fronts.
The previous Great Chu Dynasty lacked such top-notch generals, so despite its national strength, it lacked the ability to fight on multiple fronts.
If they had had so many famous generals back then, even if they were besieged by several forces and ultimately met their demise, they could have held out for a few more years and wouldn't have had much of a problem.
Xu Tiande's military talent is so great that it ranks among the top in the entire history of warfare on Earth.
Throughout the entire Ming Dynasty, he was undoubtedly the number one general, the first meritorious general among the founding generals of the early Ming Dynasty, and was known as the "Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty".
Historical records state that "at that time, when people praised famous generals, they would invariably mention Da and Yuchun. The two were of similar talent and courage and were both highly regarded by Emperor Taizu. Yuchun was swift and dared to penetrate deep into enemy territory, while Da was particularly skilled in strategy."
From the son of a poor peasant to becoming the greatest war god of the Ming Dynasty, Xu Da's military career can be described as legendary.
However, he also experienced a painful defeat during his military career.
After the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, the Northern Yuan forces still existed. In order to wipe out the last remnants of the Mongol forces, Zhu Yuanzhang appointed Xu Da as the Marshal of the Northern Expedition.
Xu Da led an army of 15 men in a massive offensive against the remnants of the Northern Yuan. At that time, the commander of the Northern Yuan was none other than the "extraordinary man" Wang Baobao, whose strength was not to be underestimated.
If Xu Da's first Northern Expedition laid the foundation for the Ming Dynasty, then his second Northern Expedition presented him with a tough nut to crack.
At that time, the Ming army advanced towards the northern desert in three routes, but all three armies fell into Wang Baobao's trap of luring the enemy deep into their territory. Xu Da's central army suffered a crushing defeat, Li Wenzhong's eastern army suffered mixed results, and only Feng Sheng's western army returned to the capital in triumph.
It can be said that the defeat in the Battle of Lingbei was the key factor that led to the failure of the second Northern Expedition, and Xu Da almost fell from grace because of it.
The Battle of Lingbei was a fierce battle that Xu Da never wanted to recall in his life, and it was the only stain on his military career.
Without this battle, Xu Da's reputation in military history would have been even higher.
