Chapter 596, Storm 11
The general at the head of the city hurriedly ordered the city to be opened and the men and horses to be let in. [No pop-ups. Liu Wenxiu took out 5,000 men and horses, and when he came back, 2,000 people were either killed or captured, and some people fled halfway.
After these remnants of the defeated army entered Chengdu, they immediately came to see Zhang Xianzhong.
Zhang Xianzhong was drinking and listening to music in the palace, and he was very happy in his heart, thinking that this battle had Tang Sai'er as the commander, and he would definitely win, give the Qin army a dismount, and wait until he won the battle, and then enter Chengdu to defend, he would definitely be able to hold it, as long as Li Dingguo's army came back to help, or Sun Kewang took Hanzhong, Bai Qi had no power to return to heaven.
At that time, he was full of energy, extinguished Baiqi, entered Guanzhong, and killed the King of Qin, not only could he get over the land of Guanzhong, but also enter the Central Plains and compete with Li Zicheng.
The more he thought about it, the happier he became, and the more he drank the wine, the more beautiful it became, and when he was drinking sweetly, a guard officer ran in and shouted, "Report ......"
Zhang Xianzhong was taken aback, if he was usually unhappy, he might have ordered the knife and axe man to push this person out and behead him, but today he was proud in his heart, so there were a lot of adults, and he didn't blame him, but on the contrary, he handed over a glass of wine and said with a smile: "You kid was chased by a dog?" What's in a hurry? ”
The officer's mouth was not good: "Report to Your Majesty, big ...... Big things are not good. ”
Zhang Xianzhong's eyes narrowed at this time: "What happened?" The officer said: "Prime Minister Tang and General Liu led 5,000 men and horses out of the city, attacked the Qin army, and returned defeated, only 2,000 people returned...... She ......"
Zhang Xianzhong jumped forward and kicked the officer to the ground: "Come on, what's wrong with Prime Minister Tang?" Did you also die......"
The officer got up and knelt down again: "Prime Minister Tang, she...... Fleeing from the battle, I don't know where to go......"
Zhang Xianzhong listened, took a few steps back, and sat on the ground with a P share, his eyes hooked.
The officer said: "At this time, the Qin army has arrived outside the city, please make a decision." ”
Zhang Xianzhong looked up to the sky and shouted: "Okay, you Tang Sai'er, you dare to play Lao Tzu, where are you going to fight the Qin army, it is clearly ...... to go out of the city to join the enemy."
His blood-red eyes resembled a beast of prey, and the maids on both sides shuddered.
Zhang Xianzhong ripped off a big knife from the pillar and chopped it in the room, chopping and chopping in the room, the wine cups, jugs, cups and plates and other things were chopped up, and the tables and chairs were also divided into several pieces. ”
Listening to the officer's words, Zhang Xianzhong threw the knife out of the palace with a choked sound, strode out of the palace gate, and shouted: "Spread Lao Tzu's will, all the soldiers and civilians, go to the city to fight to the death, whoever dares to cower, Lao Tzu will pick his skin." ”
At the sound of an order, all the horses in the city began to move and drove up to the city. opened the frame and wanted to have a bloody battle with the Qin army.
At this time, the sky was already bright, Li Dang came to the outside of the city, raised his eyes, and saw that the city was full of raging, the heads of people were connected into a piece, I don't know how many people, but from the formation of the formation, it was chaotic, among them there were soldiers and civilians, and the weapons in their hands were also various, and some people were still holding G sticks and farm tools. Apparently civilians who were taken to the head of the city.
Seeing this situation, Li Dare couldn't help but feel sour, he knew that Zhang Xianzhong was going to fight hard and do a battle of trapped beasts.
Not long after, Bai Qi also led the rear army to the outside of the city, he urged the horse to the front of the battle, glanced at the city a few times, and sneered slightly: "Zhang Xianzhong has panicked, this city will be broken." ”
Li Dare said: "We can't be careless, Zhang Xianzhong has no way to retreat, he will fight to the death with us, this battle will be fought, and the casualties will be huge." Moreover, the walls of Chengdu are so high and steep that we will not be able to use the same strategy again. ”
Bai Qi said: "According to the captives who surrendered at night, Zhang Xianzhong sent people out of the city to attack, Tang Sai'er was the main commander, Liu Wenxiu was the deputy commander, but Tang Sai'er fled in battle, I don't know where to go, according to the current situation, Tang Sai'er did not return to Chengdu, if she was in the city, Zhang Xianzhong would not be so flustered." ”
Li Dare said: "Xiao Liu'er and they have come back, and they told me that Tang Sai'er refused to take refuge in us, deceived Zhang Xianzhong with a trick, and sent her out of the city to fight. ”
Bai Qi sighed: "Xiao Liu'er is still kind and upright, and he didn't start in the city, if he listened to my orders, Tang Sai'er would be lying on the ground in his own home, where would there be today." ”
Li Dang glanced at Bai Qi, and was a little scared in his heart: "General, we have left Tang Sai'er, the king's side, I don't know how to explain!" ”
Bai Qi sneered: "The king is a person who understands, things have become like this, irreparable, he will not blame us." What I'm worried about is that in the future, if Tang Sai'er really votes for Zuo Liangyu, it will be too troublesome for these two people to be both literate and martial. In the future, maybe Zuo Liangyu will become more and more difficult to deal with. ”
Li dared to say: "Yes, Zuo Liangyu doesn't have a think tank by his side, so he is already so powerful, plus her...... Alas, in the future, it is necessary to be cautious against the enemy. ”
Bai Qi stared at the head of the city: "Set up the camp first, attack the city tomorrow, don't delay, there is no news in Hanzhong at this time, and I don't know if Li Yan can withstand it, and I have already received a report that Li Dingguo sent 50,000 horses to help, and at this time he has passed the White Emperor City and is coming here." ”
Li dared to say: "Obey the order and attack the city tomorrow." ”
The Qin army began to camp outside the city, and Zhang Xianzhong got the news and immediately went to the city to see.
He raised his eyes and looked into the distance, only to see a banner outside the city, the camp had been rolled out, there were several miles in a radius, and then looked at the direction of the camp, the layout, there were doors before and after, there were roads in advance and retreat, there were mountains and forests behind, there were water on the side, left and right in, echoing before and after, and it was very strict and orderly.
Looking at the soldiers of the Qin army again, they all had high morale and were elated, sharpening their guns and knives, and preparing to fight.
When Zhang Xianzhong watched it for a long time, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: Bai Qi is really handsome, just looking at the Zafa of this big battalion, he knows how clever he is, and he is much stronger than his own peasant army.
At this time, there was no general by his side. Ai Nengqi and Liu Wenxiu both died at the hands of the Qin army, Sun Kewang went to attack Hanzhong, Li Dingguo was far away in Huguang, and the brave generals he could count on were either killed in battle or left. Zhang Xianzhong felt lonely.
What worries him even more is the morale in the city, since Liu Wenxiu died in battle, Tang Sai'er fled, the morale of the Great Western Army has plummeted, he doesn't need to ask, just look at the faces of those soldiers, you can know their hearts.
