Chapter 2356 Occupying Kyushu and looking forward to Honshu
Chapter 2352: Defining Jiuzhou and conquering the main state
Sun Ce originally practiced spear training, but after Xiang Yu's advice, he realized that the halberd was more suitable for him, so he changed his halberd training to Lu Bu as his teacher, and learned the "Thirteen Styles of Overlord" and Xiang Yu's "Overlord Halberd". 》.
After Sun Ce switched to using a halberd, he embarked on a path that was more suitable for him. Not only did his combat power greatly increase, but his cultivation also became smoother.
After a lot of hard training, as well as a series of battles and experiences, Sun Ce successfully reached the peak of the divine general, and his combat power was even stronger than his father Sun Jian, who was also the peak divine general.
In the conflict between Wu and Chu half a year ago, Sun Ce was even more powerful than a weak opponent. He fought with Chong Heihu, the most powerful general in the Chu Kingdom, for a full 300 rounds without losing.
In the end, the battle ended in a draw, and Sun Ce soon broke through again and reached the God of War level. Wu finally had its own God of War level general.
Sun Ce: Commander 98 (+1), Force 105 (+6), Intelligence 92 (+2), Politics 78 (+3), Charm 99 (+1); Equipment: Phoenix Overlord Halberd, Curly Black Horse;
Sun Ce is fully confident after breaking through the God of War. If he fights Chong Heihu again next time, Sun Ce will definitely win.
It is a pity that there was no conflict between Wu and Chu after that, so Sun Ce naturally had no chance to fight against Chong Heihu.
Today's Sun Ce is no longer the stupid young man he was back then. He has become one of the strongest men in the world. He can dominate even the Central Plains, let alone the Japanese country.
The Shimazu Four Heavenly Kings were already considered very strong generals in Japan, but they still couldn't survive two rounds under Sun Ce's halberd.
The super-class Shimazu Toyohisa originally wanted to challenge Sun Ce after defeating Xu Sheng and Pan Zhang.
But when he saw the Shimazu Four Heavenly Kings and were almost crushed by Sun Ce, Shimazu Toyohisa was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped, and he decisively chose to run away, but was ambushed by Ma Zhong and died tragically.
With the death of Shimazu Toyohisa in battle, the attack and defense of the inner city also ended.
It only took the Song and Wu coalition forces three days to break through the inner city with 30,000 defenders, and their own casualties were less than 1,500.
After breaking through the inner city, Sun Ce publicly announced the order to massacre the Japanese and ordered that the sword should not be sealed for three days. He directly slaughtered the inner city of the Shimazu family's capital. Not only did he obtain a large amount of wealth, he also obtained enough food and grass for the army for half a year.
Yoshihiro Shimazu, who was on his way back to the army, almost fainted from anger when he learned that the inner city had been captured by the Song and Wu coalition forces, and that the enemy troops massacred the city. Then he vowed to kill Sun Ce for revenge.
After that, Shimazu Yoshihiro ordered the maximum expansion of the country's military and mobilized all troops to encircle and suppress the Song and Wu coalition forces in the inner city area.
Under Yan Xiang's tactic of showing weakness to the enemy, Shimazu Yoshihiro thought that the enemy had only 30,000 troops, so he mobilized all his troops, a total of 70,000 troops, for encirclement and suppression.
But after the war began, Shimazu Yoshihiro discovered that he had been fooled again after many trials and confrontations. The Song and Wu coalition forces actually hid 20,000 troops.
But at this time, Shimazu Yoshihiro was already on the string and had to fight. However, even if 70,000 fought against 50,000, he had no chance of winning.
Shimazu Yoshihiro had defeated the local forces of Kyushu many times with less and was very confident in his ability to lead the army. However, this time he picked the wrong opponent. Sun Ce was much stronger than his previous opponents. Too much.
The day before the great victory of Bungo was the decisive battle between Sun Ce and Shimazu Yoshihiro.
Yoshihiro Shimazu thought he would have an advantage, but after the war, he was fooled by the opponent. The 70,000 Shimazu army was no match for the 50,000 Song and Wu coalition forces.
The four Shimazu brothers were killed by generals Zhou Tai, Lu Meng, Zhang Xutuo and Gao Huaide respectively.
The Shimazu Ten Warriors died at the hands of Sun Ce, Li Hu, Yang Guangyi, Shi Shouxin and other generals.
More than 30 generals including Shimazu Tadahashi, Shimazu Tadori, Uehara Naochika, Umebita Kunikane, Katsura Takanori, Kayama Zenhisa, and Togo Shigeshi were all killed by many fierce generals of the Song and Wu coalition forces. Of course, the Shimadzu family has not failed to achieve success.
Song generals Chen Lan and Chen Ji joined forces to fight against Shimazu Yoshihiro, but were killed by Shimazu Yoshihiro alone.
Even though Zhuji Zhuran and his son inspired the combination skill "Bore and Flesh", they still lost to the "Sibling Branch" of brothers Shimazu Yoshihiro and Shimazu Iehisa.
In order to cover his son Zhu Ran's escape, Zhu Zhi was killed by Shimazu Iehisa, and the two sides formed a feud to kill their father and would not stop until death.
After Zhu Zhi's death, the effect of "bond of flesh and blood" was activated 2, which permanently increased Zhu Ran's basic strength by 1 and temporarily increased Zhu Ran's strength by 6 points.
But even so, Zhu Ran was still no match for the Shimazu brothers. If Sun Ce hadn't arrived in time, he would have been beaten to death on the spot.
Zhu Zhi's death in battle made Sun Ce furious. He went all out to fight, and the Shimazu brothers were exhausted and miserable.
After thirty rounds, the Shimazu brothers were exhausted, so they chose to escape separately.
It's just that Shimazu Yoshihiro has a famous horse to ride, but the Shimazu family has not had one for a long time.
During the escape, Shimazu's horse was shot down by Sun Ce, but when he was about to kill him, he was stopped by Zhu Ran, who wanted to avenge his father's murder with his own hands.
Seeing this, Sun Ce left the Shimazu family to Zhu Ran for a long time, while he himself went to pursue Shimazu Yoshihiro.
The Shimazu family has been injured by Sun Ce for a long time, but Zhu Ran is also injured. The two of them are actually evenly matched, but Zhu Ran's "bone and flesh" increase is still there, and the injury is lighter, so it is naturally more advantageous to fight alone.
After fifty rounds of fierce fighting, Zhu Ran finally killed Shimazu Iehisa.
【Ding dong, Zhu Ran defeated the strong with the weak, killed Shimazu Iehisa, the basic force is permanently +1, the current five dimensions: commander 93, force 99 (+5), intelligence 80, politics 68, charm 78;】
【Ding dong, Zhu Ran avenged his father Zhu Zhi, killed Shimazu Iehisa, completed the achievement of 'Never Die', and the base force is permanently +1, the current base force is: 100 (+6); 】
On the other side, Shimazu Yoshihiro's kneeling chestnut horse was not as fast as Sun Ce's curly black horse. After escaping for eighty miles, he was caught up by Sun Ce.
Sun Ce wanted to capture Shimazu Yoshihiro alive, so he did not kill him. He fought with him for thirty rounds and successfully knocked Shimazu Yoshihiro off his horse and captured him alive.
Shimazu Yoshihiro was a strong man. After being captured, he was unwilling to be humiliated and chose to commit suicide. Sun Ce was unable to stop him in time.
The famous Kyushu general Shimazu Yoshihiro committed suicide and died, and his horse Kneeling Li Mao became Sun Ce's trophy and was later awarded to Ling Tong.
With Shimazu Yoshihiro's suicide, the decisive battle in the inner city came to an end.
The Song and Wu coalition forces killed 45,000 enemies, captured 25,000 prisoners, and suffered 3,000 self-inflicted losses. It was a great victory.
Sun Ce immediately sent a message to Zhou Yu, and at the same time led an army to attack other places in Southern Kyushu.
With the three major victories in Bungo, Satsuma, and Higo, the main force of the local forces on Kyushu Island was completely lost. Although there were still many defenders in various places who resisted, it was obviously impossible to stop the attack of the Central Plains Allied Forces.
The next strategy for the Central Plains Allied Forces is destined to be without any difficulty, and after the Kyushu Island is completely occupied, it will be time for the Allied Forces to attack Honshu Island.
