Originally, the explosives in this jar were not very powerful, but because it was a volley explosion, the fragments of the jar flew around, and many Qing soldiers were injured at once. The Qing soldiers didn't kill a few of them, but many were injured. Seeing this, the Ming army outside the door hurriedly pushed the door open and closed and rushed in.

The Qing army on the pass saw the Ming army rushing into the pass, and they were all immediately flustered, and the Ming army that was attached to the ant siege took advantage of the situation to attack the pass wall. However, the guards on the wall, Hui Yingzhao and others were driven down the city by Fu Dali to fight, and Liang Yixun took the fire team to the gate to help. At this time, there was not a single general on the wall, and there was not even a chance for dozens of remedies, and the defending Qing soldiers were disturbed by the Ming army's offensive, and they were worried that the gate would be broken and their back roads would be cut off. Now that the Ming army has attacked the wall again, how can they still have the heart to defend, many people turned around and ran to the gate, shouting: "It's broken, the wall has been broken." ”。

Suddenly, the Ming army cheered, shouting loudly to kill the wall, and Zhu Dashan, who was watching the battle behind, also discovered this situation and shouted: "We have attacked the Buddha Tu Pass, beating drums and cheering." Conquer the Buddha Pass in one fell swoop. Suddenly, the Chinese military drums beat loudly, and the Restoration Army began to press the whole army.

The Ming army with the firecracker had just repelled the Ming army that rushed into the pass and wanted to open the gate of Fotu Pass, but before the Qing army could close the door, it was blown up by the gunpowder of the Ming army. Seeing that the gate was about to be opened by the Ming army, Liang Yixun was about to let the fire team fire at the Ming army that opened the door, when he heard the Qing army shouting, "It's broken, the wall has been breached." ”

Liang Yixun was taken aback, and before he could reflexively climb the wall, the Qing army above kept running down the wall. Liang Yixun grabbed one person and shouted, "What's the matter? The Ming army has obviously not attacked yet, what are you running? The Qing soldier was stopped by Liang Yixun, and was about to get angry, when he saw that it was his own general, he hurriedly said: "The general is not good, the Ming army is attacking, and many Ming troops are on the wall, let's go." ”

Liang Yixun wanted to ask again, but he was broken free by the Qing soldier. Liang Yixun had no choice but to go up to check the situation, but he ran down to the Qing army too much, where could he still go up. In a blink of an eye, Liang Yixun saw that Fu Dali was also embraced by the defeated soldiers and ran down the wall, and the head of the Ming army had already appeared on the wall behind him, and he was chasing the fleeing Qing army and slashing it. Liang Yixun didn't dare to return to the wall, and hurriedly rushed down the wall with his own soldiers.

Liang Jiaqi, who was still organizing troops to line up inside the gate, saw the Qing army shouting that the wall had been breached, and fled one after another. Seeing Liang Yixun who was about to rush up, he thought to himself: "This Liang Yixun is indeed a man, and at this time he is still thinking about retaking the wall." As a result, as soon as this thought flashed, he saw Liang Yixun running down with his own soldiers.

Liang Jiaqi immediately wanted to scold Liang Yixun, but found that the imperial guards around him had already turned around and ran. The Qing army next to them saw this scene, and the imperial guards who supervised the war all ran away, and what were we doing here, so they all fled to the pass. Seeing this, Liang Jiaqi said that the Qing army was gone, and it could still be defended there. I had to sigh secretly and said sadly: "Your Majesty, the last general is incompetent, and Chongqing can't hold it." The minister has no shame to face the court. After saying that, he drew his sword and was about to commit suicide.

When his personal soldiers saw it, they hurriedly stopped: "General, we can still retreat to Chongqing City, the general should cheer up." Liang Jiaqi said miserably: "Now that Fotu Pass is lost, where can Chongqing City be defended, the soldiers in the city have been brought here, and there are no soldiers in the city who are guarding the city, so what to defend." ”

The soldier said: "General, we can mobilize the people in the city to defend the city, and we can still defend it." Liang Jiaqi ignored the pro-soldier and said: "Chongqing is surrounded by water on three sides, if the Ming army captures the water division to attack, Chongqing will not be able to defend at all." I know that you are loyal, and that I deserve to be a martyr as a member of the court, but you don't have to. If you want to surrender, go and run for your life if you don't want to surrender. ”

The pro-soldier said: "How can the general look down on us so much, since the general wants to be martyred, we should also follow." Liang Jiaqi also knew that this pro-soldier was just talking casually, and he couldn't take it seriously. Liang Jiaqi didn't speak, turned his head and put the sword on his neck, and before he could exert himself, he felt a pain in the back of his head and fainted.

The soldiers standing behind Liang Jiaqi saw that everyone else looked at him in surprise, and shouted, "What are you looking at?" If we don't bring a letter of resignation, can the Ming army believe us? We must not be like those soldiers who rushed out to be cannon fodder. Only then did the other soldiers react, and they all lifted Liang Jiaqi up, and saw the Ming army rushing into the pass and shouted: "Brother Ming Army, we surrender, we captured the general soldier Liang Jiaqi, we surrendered." ”

The Restoration Army rushed in, and a few Qing soldiers carried a Qing army general and shouted surrender. Regardless of them, they directly followed the fleeing Qing army, and Ta Tianbao, who came in behind, also heard it clearly, and hurriedly called a few people to look at these surrendered troops. Then he shouted: "Liang Jiaqi has been caught, surrender and avoid death." The surrounding Ming soldiers also shouted one after another.

The fleeing Qing army heard that their generals had been captured, and all those who ran slowly surrendered one after another. At this time, Zhu Dashan and the Chinese army were marching towards the pass, looking at the Qing army that was constantly surrendering, he hurriedly asked Yuan Zongdi to send people to watch these surrendered soldiers, and then said to He Zhen: "Qi Hou, if these Qing troops escape into Chongqing City, I am afraid that we will attack the city and have some casualties. ”

He Zhen also knew that now was the best time to seize Chongqing, and he did not shirk it at the moment, and shouted directly: "The soldiers of the Capture Guard, follow me to seize Chongqing City." After speaking, he took the captive guards and chased the defeated Qing soldiers away.

Zhu Dashan said to Hao Yongzhong again: "General Hao, if the Qing army can't hold Chongqing, it will definitely escape by waterway. Then attack Chongqing from the north gate. Hao Yongzhong said: "Don't worry, I will not let these eight lambs escape." After saying that, he also chased out with the Dingyu guard.

Then Zhu Dashan said to Yuan Zongdi: "Jingguo Gong, the south of Chongqing is the Yangtze River, and it stands to reason that it is impossible for the Qing army to escape from the south gate, but just in case, I also asked the Guogong to send two thousand households from the south gate to bypass and guard the ferry port in the south." Yuan Zongdi immediately rushed through the Fotu Pass with his soldiers and headed for Chongqing.

Zhu Dashan saw that everyone had already led the troops to chase out, turned to Peng Changbao and said: "You take our 1,000 cavalry here, go directly to the Chaotian Gate outside the east gate, if there are Qing soldiers who escape from the east gate, you will shoot them all, remember not to attack the city gate, leave the road for the Qing soldiers to come out." Tan Shuanghua said: "Do you want to kill all the generals in Chongqing?" Zhu Dashan said: "After all, Chongqing has been run by the Qing army for many years, if you keep these generals, I am afraid that there will be troubles, it is better to take advantage of them now." ”

Peng Changbao didn't understand yet, and said, "Why do all officials go to the East Gate?" It's not easy to run out there, and the Jiangling River flows into the Yangtze River at the east gate, and the Yangtze River is wide and deep. Tan Shuanghua said: "You are stupid, just because it is not easy to run there, no one pays attention to it, I am afraid that these generals have left the ships to escape there." As long as Chongqing City cannot be defended, these generals must run first, and they will definitely go back to the east gate after they have left their boats. ”

Peng Changbao suddenly realized, and immediately ran to Chongqing City with the cavalry. At this time, Ta Tianbao sent someone to report: "Master Hou, we have caught a group of surrendered soldiers, and they said that they were escorting the chief soldier Liang Jiaqi to surrender. ”

When Zhu Dashan heard this, it was the first time that Qing soldiers escorted the generals to surrender, and immediately said, "Okay, I'll go with you to have a look." Zhu Dashan came to the place where Liang Jiaqi was being held, and when the soldiers saw Zhu Dashan coming in wearing the general's armor, they immediately knelt on the ground and said: "General, we helped you capture the general of the Qing army, please allow us to surrender." Zhu Dashan said: "My Restoration Army didn't say that people would not surrender, why did you arrest your main general?" ”

The Qing soldier hesitated and said: "We saw that the general's army was brave and invincible, like a tiger descending the mountain, we all looked at it with envy, and we were afraid that the general would not look down on our defeated army who surrendered, so we ......" At this time, Liang Jiaqi woke up slowly, and saw the situation in front of him, and he didn't understand what was going on. Immediately scolded: "Okay, you wolf-hearted Liang Zisheng, Lao Tzu usually treats you well, if you want to surrender, I will let you surrender, you actually knocked me out and took me as your vote." ”

Liang Zisheng heard that Liang Jiaqi directly shook out his own affairs, and immediately said angrily: "You wanted to die, what's wrong with giving me a name return?" Liang Jiaqi saw Liang Zisheng say such shameless words, and said: "If you are a person who betrays the master, who dares to keep you alive, but it is just a few days to survive." ”

Zhu Dashan saw that the two were arguing, how could he have the heart to listen to this, and said: "You don't have to be noisy, Liang Jiaqi, you say that he is the one who betrays the master, what are you?" You are a general of the Ming Dynasty, and I am a Ming Dynasty who treats you well, you are still a Han Chinese, you not only betrayed the master, betrayed the court, but also betrayed your ancestors. ”

Liang Zisheng said: "The general is right, you Liang Jiaqi is just a dog and a slave of the Manchurians, and you don't want to be a slave if you are a good person." You are embarrassed to say that I am a betrayer, and I am returning to the Ming Dynasty anyway. ”

Zhu Dashan didn't want to listen anymore, so he turned around and left, and said to the soldiers of the Fuming Army who were guarding: "Kill the soldiers who escorted Liang Jiaqi to surrender directly, and say that they died in the war, we captured Liang Jiaqi in the chaos, and after Chongqing City was defeated, Liang Jiaqi was escorted to Chongqing City to take care of it." ”

Tan Shuanghua followed behind and said, "Why did you directly kill the people who came to surrender and leave the generals of the Qing army behind?" So who else will come and surrender to you in the future? Zhu Dashan said: "Liang Jiaqi is right, like those few people who betray the master, no one is worried about leaving them." If we can betray Liang Jiaqi today, we can betray the Restoration Army tomorrow, we don't have so much energy to look at everyone who surrenders, so we have to get rid of them. ”

Tan Shuanghua asked, "Then why did you leave Liang Jiaqi?" Do you want to recruit him? Zhu Dashan said: "Looking at his appearance, he will never surrender, even if he surrenders, I can't accept him." He followed Li Guoying to commit too many sins in Sichuan, and I won't let him die too easily. ”

Tan Shuanghua said: "But I heard that you directly ordered Li Guoying to be killed when you were in Dingyuan, why didn't you let him die a tragic death?" Zhu Dashan said with a smile: "Why do you have so many problems today, our advantage in Dingyuan was not obvious at that time, we must kill Li Guoying as soon as possible to destroy the Qing army's sense of resistance, of course we can't keep him." Now it is different, our advantage in Chongqing is obvious, we have to deal with Liang Jiaqi with national law, and deter those officials who surrendered to the Manchus. ”

Tan Shuanghua said: "So you think so, so where are we going now?" Zhu Dashan frowned and said: "Now I go to Chongqing City, I estimate that Chongqing is almost the same now." ”

Zhu Dashan left Tatianbao to guard the troops and clean up the battlefield at Fotu Pass, and he rushed to Chongqing with 2,000 firearms. When Zhu Dashan arrived in Chongqing City, the banner of the Restoration Army was fluttering on the city wall, indicating that the Restoration Army had entered the city.

Because the Restoration Army came too quickly, the Qing Army did not have time to defend at all, and was directly chased into the city by the Restoration Army. The people in the city were so frightened by the sudden killing of the Ming army that they didn't dare to go out, and they all hid at home and didn't dare to come out. Now that the army has passed, Zhu Dashan can still feel it when he walks on the street, and the eyes that come through the cracks and windows of the doors and windows are filled with deep fear.

Seeing this, Zhu Dashan's heart suddenly moved, and he said to Tan Shuanghua: "You let our marching team sing the military discipline song." Tan Shuanghua said: "This is useful? Don't frighten the people. Zhu Dashan said: "Don't be afraid, you let them sing." ”

Tan Shuanghua had no choice but to let the marching soldiers sing the military discipline song in unison, and with the fluttering of the song, Zhu Dashan and others rushed all the way to the Chongqing Mansion. On the street that Zhu Dashan walked through, in the houses behind him, from time to time there were people who opened the windows, took a look and quickly closed them. The surrounding Restoration Army, which was maintaining order, heard the singing, and did not shout slogans for a while, but all sang along.

Many fleeing Qing soldiers, after hearing the singing of the Restoration Army, turned around and asked, "Are you singing true?" Is there such an army in the world? The soldiers of the Ming army said: "This is our military regulations, and there can be fake." Then the window of the next room was opened, and he shouted, "This besieging army is so good." What else are you fighting. Hurry up and surrender and stop fighting. When the Qing soldiers were in Chongqing, they did not harm the common people. ”

The Qing soldier said: "We don't want to fight either, I surrendered, and two days before I became an official, I gave a brother's sister from our battalion to the Manchurians to spoil it, what a sin." As the song of the Restoration Army sounded in the city of Chongqing, the Qing soldiers who resisted became fewer and fewer, and those generals saw that the soldiers did not contribute and the Ming army attacked fiercely, and they all rushed out of the east gate and fled.
