Ranking Pass History: Inventory of the Top Ten Great Players in History

[After Chen Youliang proclaimed himself emperor, he occupied all of Huguang in Jiangxi Province. Relying on his strong military force, he attacked Jiqing Mansion with all his strength.

Zhu Yuanzhang asked Kang Maocai to set up a trick to surrender.

Chen Youliang fell for the trick and led an army of [-] to Longwan, where they were ambushed by the Ming army.

More than ten thousand people died in battle, and most of the others surrendered to Zhu Yuanzhang.Hundreds of warships also belonged to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Chen Youliang fled in embarrassment in a small boat.

Zhu Yuanzhang led an army to pursue the victory, and Chen Youliang had to abandon Taiping Mansion and fled to Jiangzhou.

Zhu Yuanzhang took advantage of the victory to conquer Anqing. 】

[In February 1361, Zhang Dingbian captured Anqing again.In August, Zhu Yuanzhang personally led the army to attack Chen Youliang.Chen Youliang was defeated and lost Jiangzhou.

Zhu Yuanzhang took advantage of the victory to capture Anqing again. 】

[In April 1363, Chen Youliang took Zhu Yuanzhang to lead an army to Anfeng. When the troops in the south of the Yangtze River were empty, he mobilized 4 soldiers, occupied hundreds of ships, and besieged Hongdu (Nanchang) city with only 60 soldiers.

However, Chen Youliang never imagined that Zhu Wenzheng, the guard of Hongdu with 85 soldiers, blocked him for [-] days.

Zhu Wenzheng's persistence saved Zhu Yuanzhang.

After Zhu Yuanzhang defeated Zhang Shicheng in Anfeng, he also assembled 20 soldiers and marched towards Hongdu City in a mighty manner. 】

[In July 1363, Chen Youliang led an army of 60 to confront Zhu Yuanzhang in Poyang Lake.In the first three days of fighting, Zhu Yuanzhang suffered a lot, and was almost captured and killed by the fierce general Zhang Dingbian.

But in the battle on the fourth day, Zhu Yuanzhang took advantage of the favorable wind from the sky and attacked with fire, burning hundreds of thousands of Chen Youliang's army in one fell swoop.

Chen Youren's younger brother, Chen Youren, was also burned to death.

When Chen Youliang led the army to break through, he was shot through the head by a stray arrow and died suddenly on the spot.

Zhang Dingbian took Chen Li out of the siege, and led dozens of people to flee back to Wuchang. 】

[In February 1364, Liao Yongzhong came to Wuchang.Chen Li left the city.Chen Han died. 】

The text inventory ends here.Next is the video review.

Compared with the dozen or so inventory videos of the second anti-king Li Zicheng, Chen Youliang's inventory video is very simple, with only one battle of Hongdu.

Even the Battle of Poyang Lake did not appear.

Battle of Hongdu:

Chen Youliang's hundreds of thousands of troops approached the city, and the [-] Ming troops guarding Hongdu City were in a panic. Some low-ranking generals even prepared to abandon the city and flee.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was fighting Zhang Shicheng, had no time to look around, so he could only issue a death order to the Hongdu guard:

Defend Hongdu City with all your strength and wait for the army to rescue.

At the critical moment when people were panicking, Zhu Wenzheng, the general of Hongdu, who usually behaved like a playboy and spent his days and nights, stood up.

He quickly called a meeting of the lieutenant generals.

On the venue, Zhu Wenzheng pulled out his long sword and said sharply,
"The King of Wu (Zhu Yuanzhang was the King of Wu at the time) had an order, ordering us to stick to Hongdu. Today I summoned the generals to tell you that I am willing to stick to Hongdu with you generals. If the city is captured by the Chen bandits, we will wait We will die together with the city. If we can defend the city, we will be able to make great achievements, and the king of Wu will definitely reward us heavily.

Although I, Zhu Wenzheng, am not as brave as you, my courage is no less than yours.

I swear to God, once Chen's army begins to attack the city, I will always stand on the city wall and fight the enemy side by side with the generals. "

Then Zhu Wenzheng began to assign generals to guard the gates of each city.

There are eight city gates in Hongdu City, and Zhu Wenzheng appointed eight generals, each with [-] soldiers to guard a city gate.

Zhu Wenzheng and his deputy Deng Yu each led [-] soldiers to act as mobile forces.

Whichever city gate is in danger, they will be responsible for rescue.

When Chen Youliang's army reached the outside of Hongdu City, Zhu Wenzheng was already ready to defend the city.

Chen Youliang is not a grumpy person either.

On the second day after the army arrived in Hongchengdu, [-] troops were sent to attack the south gate of Hongdu first.

Before the siege began, Chen Youliang pointed at Hongdu City with his right hand, and said proudly,
"Zhu Wen, who is guarding the city, is just a dude. Once my strong soldiers attack, he will definitely run away."

However, when the Han army attacked the city, they were first greeted with a wave of crossbow arrows and flying stones, causing nearly a thousand casualties.

When the enraged Han army attacked the city with ladders, Deng Yu, the general who was best at using firearms, ordered more than a thousand soldiers to use firecrackers, which once again gave the Han army a head-on blow.

Something unexpected happened to Chen Youliang.

The [-] Han army attacked for a whole day, losing more than [-] people, and no one was able to successfully ascend the city of Hongdu.

Enraged, Chen Youliang beheaded the general of the Han army who was in charge of attacking the south gate, and then ordered the whole army to attack the eight gates of Hongdu City at the same time starting from the second day.

The tragic Battle of Hongdu finally kicked off.

The 60 Han troops, relying on their overwhelming military strength, rushed up the city walls of Hongdu wave after wave. Even if they couldn't kill the Ming army, they could consume the Ming army's gunpowder and weapon reserves.

However, the tenacity of the Ming army also exceeded Chen Youliang's expectations.

Facing the powerful Han army, the Ming army did not retreat.

Zhu Wenzheng did what he said. From the first day of the war, he brought his own soldiers and stood firm on the front line of the battle.

When the Han army rushed to the top of the city, Zhu Wenzheng even brandished a big knife, and started a life-and-death melee fight with the Han army.

Even though he suffered several injuries, he still refused to retreat from the city wall.

The main general was so brave, and the soldiers of the Ming army were naturally inspired with blood and courage in their bodies.

They all defended every city wall firmly with one against ten.

The most dangerous battle took place on Day No. 17, when a strong general of the Han army smashed down the east gate of Hongdu with a crash car.

Thousands of Han troops rushed into Hongdu City.

At this extremely critical moment, Zhu Wenzheng ordered Deng Yu to lead the firearms battalion to counterattack the Han army.

Deng Yu led more than a thousand musketeers to shoot and kill the fierce soldiers of the Han army who rushed to the front.

The fierce general of the Han army was also shot dead by the musketeer.

When the Han army entering the city showed signs of panic, Zhu Wenzheng led hundreds of daredevils to drive the Han army out of Hongdu City again with a desperate charge without hesitation.

After Zhu Wenzheng repaired the damaged east gate, he ordered people to seal all the gates of the eight gates.

The Han army, which fell short of success, has never been able to enter the city since then.

Although they can kill the top of the city every time, with the help of gods, the Ming army can always defeat them with weak forces.

Chen Youliang thought that Hongdu City could be conquered in one day.Later, he felt that it would take ten days to break through Hongdu City.Later he thought it might take a month to break through Hongdu City.

Later, he no longer estimated the time to break the city.

There is only one thought, and that is to break through this Hongdu City!

As time went by, the morale of the Han army was slowly exhausted by this strong city.Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhang Dingbian repeatedly persuaded Chen Youliang to return to Wuchang.

Chen Youliang gritted his teeth and said,
"If the 60 troops of the Han Dynasty can't take down Hongcheng City, which has only [-] defenders, will they still have the courage to fight against Zhu Yuanzhang's army on the battlefield in the future? There is no need to persuade the border! Zhu Wenzheng will be hacked into pieces."

However, no matter how the Han army attacked, it just couldn't take down this city of Hongdu, which was harder to pull out than a nail.

After besieging the city for 85 days, Zhu Yuanzhang finally freed up his hands and led an army of 20 to kill them mightily.

Chen Youliang had no choice but to lead his army to withdraw from Hongdu and enter Poyang Lake.
