The video takes us to ancient times; Li Er transforms into the Tongtian Emperor of Shu Han.

"Should we pick the hardest persimmons first?"

"He truly deserves the title of Hegemon-King of Western Chu."

Li Shimin felt somewhat emotional about Xiang Yu's choice.

Anyone who took on this challenge would undoubtedly choose the Song Dynasty as their first target.

The Song Dynasty valued civil affairs over military matters, and even the legendary general Yue Fei died at their own hands.

Without Yue Fei's army, they would be easy prey to exploit.

After leading 5,000 troops to occupy the nearest city, they can gradually erode the Song Dynasty in no more than a year!

With all the resources of the Song Dynasty in hand, everyone around us will be easy prey.

Li Shimin believed that if he were to participate in this challenge, he would do so.

But Xiang Yu was different.

Leading five thousand soldiers from Jiangdong, he even dared to attack Bianjing, the old capital of the Song Dynasty!

There are at least 20,000 Jurchen troops guarding Bianjing!

"Is this guy serious?"

"His five thousand Jiangdong soldiers are all cavalry. What use are cavalry in a siege?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was completely dumbfounded.

He and Xiang Yu were completely different people.

He preferred to build high walls and store up grain, waiting until he was strong enough before sending troops to fight the enemy.

But Xiang Yu's current actions were truly something he couldn't understand.

Cavalry siege?

"Don't underestimate those Jiangdong soldiers! They are the most elite cavalry on horseback, and the most formidable vanguard soldiers on foot. They have followed Xiang Yu in his campaigns for so long, they are far beyond what the word 'elite' can describe!"

When he said this, Liu Bang was still a little scared.

During the siege of Gaixia, Xiang Yu relied on these Jiangdong soldiers to break through the encirclement of Han Xin's hundreds of thousands of troops!

If it weren't for this guy's pride making him ashamed to face the elders of Jiangdong, the outcome of the Chu-Han Contention would have been very uncertain!

First to storm the enemy, slay the general, and seize the flag!

Under Xiang Yu's leadership, these five thousand soldiers were an invincible sharp blade!

It's just that they were slightly inferior in numbers. Otherwise, based on Liu Bang's understanding of him, this guy could really have stood up to Bai Qi's old Qin army!

"But in the end, wasn't it Emperor Gaozu of Han who was the more skillful one?"

Old Zhu said with a smile.

Liu Bang: “…”

Although it was a compliment, Liu Bang still felt his face burning.

In the end, he did win, but if we really talk about who was superior to Xiang Yu...

He lost his whole life, only winning the final battle at Gaixia.

Xiang Yu won every battle his entire life, but he only lost the Battle of Gaixia.

"However, no matter how bad Xiang Ji's reputation was or how cruel his character was, it is undeniable that his military talent was unparalleled throughout history!"

Zhao Kuangyin had calmed down considerably by this time.

Throughout history, there have been few emperors whose military achievements he could acknowledge.

Li Er is one, and Xiang Yu is also among them.

Xiang Yu mastered the art of military strategy, one of the four fundamental principles of warfare!

Just like the scene that is still unfolding in the sky right now.

On the walls of Bianjing, Xiang Yu had already broken the Jin dynasty's flag and thrown it down.

This was partly due to the fact that the Jurchens were completely unprepared.

However, the Jurchen defenders reacted quite quickly after the ladders were set up.

Thousands of golden soldiers quickly gathered on the city wall, but Xiang Yu still charged forward at the forefront.

After single-handedly killing dozens of people, he forcibly seized the Jurchen flag.

He alone is needed to be the first to scale the cliffs and capture the flag!

As the gates of Bianjing were opened wide, soldiers poured into the city like a tidal wave.

Most of the Jurchen officials who remained there hadn't even had time to react before their heads were already chopped off.

Within half an hour, this absurd siege battle had come to an end.

Many people didn't even understand how Xiang Yu managed to do it.

Even Li Shimin was completely dumbfounded when he saw the battle situation.

Fa, what happened?

I think I just arranged for someone to prepare dinner.

Before even dinner could be prepared, Xiang Yu had already captured Bianjing.

Even if the Jurchen defenders were all pigs, killing 20,000 pigs wouldn't have taken this long!

"what happened?"

Old Zhu's little head was also full of question marks.

He had just called his boss over, intending to teach him that wars shouldn't be fought this way; one should only strike when one has accumulated sufficient strength and is absolutely certain of victory.

But before the lesson even began, Xiang Yu had already thrown the Jin flags off the city walls.

Damn it, can't a man just pretend for a little while?!

"Isn't it normal to be the first to scale the walls, slay generals, and seize flags?"

Liu Bang smiled.

He could almost see the bewildered state of the group.

Because when he first met Xiang Yu on the battlefield, he was in the same state!

"Is this normal?"

Li Shimin felt that his personal bravery was unparalleled among emperors.

But who would have thought that Xiang Yu could be as fierce as an animal!

"For Xiang Ji, killing generals and seizing flags is as simple as eating and drinking. If you want to see more, you can watch more from now on."

Why was Xiang Yu able to maximize the effectiveness of his military strategy?

To a large extent, it depends on his ability to lead the charge and easily capture enemy generals and flags.

Under such circumstances, how could the morale of his soldiers not be high?

Within a single day, Xiang Yu burned down all the buildings left behind by the Jurchens in Bianjing.

Many of the survivors spontaneously went to the streets to celebrate.

They assumed that the imperial army had arrived and recaptured Bianjing.

But what caught their eye was the banner fluttering outside the palace, which prominently displayed the name Chu!

"Everyone, you should have seen the sky screen from before, so you should also know my identity, right?"

Xiang Yu waited quietly in front of the palace gate.

He only spoke after all the people in the city had gathered.

Canopy?

Indeed, we could see the sky before, and it looked like something out of a fairy's hand.

At some point, the sky disappeared.

Could it be that?

Gradually, some people realized what was going on.

The disappearance of the celestial canopy signifies that the challenge spoken of by the immortals has begun in this world!

"Could you be... Xiang Yu, the Hegemon-King of Western Chu!?"

Even if ordinary people don't know those poems or history.

However, most people are still familiar with the name of Xiang Yu, the Hegemon-King of Western Chu.

Not only were there theatrical performances, but also many storytellers who spent their days in teahouses recounting the heroic spirit of Xiang Yu, the King of Western Chu!

No one expected that they would actually see the real person today!

It truly is the work of a celestial being!

"It is indeed me. Since you can see the sky, you should know the purpose of my visit. Today, I will take this opportunity to ask you a question."

Xiang Yu nodded and continued.

"Are you willing to submit to me, or would you rather return to the Song Dynasty?"

"If we want to return to the Song Dynasty, will you kill us, Overlord?"

Someone asked cautiously.

"Who do you take me for, Xiang Ji? My halberd, that of the Hegemon-King of Western Chu, never kills the old, the young, women, children, or the unarmed. Anyone who wishes to return to the Song Dynasty is free to leave. I will not harm a single person!"

This is the pride of the Hegemon-King of Western Chu!

No matter how many people the Song Dynasty had, he was confident he could defeat them all!
