Chapter 630: The Fall of the Ming Dynasty (5)

Of course, Liu Ximing's mind is not just to avenge Dou Yuquan.

The lineage of the Shu Wangfu was completely severed, and the Liu family's control of Sichuan also cleared the obstacles, these are the later words.

Half an hour later, Zhang Xianzhong, surrounded by a large number of ministers such as Wang Zhaoling, Sun Kewang, Li Dingguo, Liu Wenxiu, and Ai Nengqi, was escorted by the four battalions of Long Tao, Huwei, Baoluo, and Lu Yang, and went to the Shu Wangfu along Xiyu Street.

Along the way, the army was neat, the sword and halberd were clear, and the banner was clear.

The Shu Palace's mansion after the "Qing Palace" no longer shows traces of war. But seeing the green tile glaze, the lofty tower, the rockery, the small bridge and flowing water, Zhang Xianzhong admired the luxury and comfort of the palace, and scolded the king of Shu for being arrogant and lascivious.

Along the way, Zhang Xianzhong entered the carrier hall and sat down, and began to inquire about the whereabouts of the king of Shu.

Wang Xuan, the personal eunuch of the king of Shu, knelt on the ground and replied tremblingly: "When the king broke the city, there were thieves and a large army entering the palace, and they just caught the king of Shu and the prince of Shu, and they were hacked to death and thrown into the well."

Zhang Xianzhong touched his beard and laughed: "Hahaha, which turtle grandson is it, so bold, but this is also a bargain for this old boy, otherwise he will be dismantled in the hands of my old Zhang."

However, Li Dingguo snorted coldly when he heard this, "What a bastard, if Zhu Zhishu is caught, he should be reported to the king for disposal, who dares to do this without long eyes, this matter must be investigated." ”

Zhang Xianzhong frowned and felt that this was the truth, and immediately looked at Sun Kewang and the others: "It's such a thing, go and find out who did it, it's strange if I don't whip him a few times." ”

The generals in the carrier hall hurriedly wiped their sweat and went to investigate.

Zhang Xianzhong asked the eunuch Wang Xuan again: "Lao Tzu Heavenly Soldiers are here, why don't you go to accompany the King of Shu and die to his mother?"

Wang Xuan said with a flattering face: "The slave must leave a small life to serve the true son of heaven."

"Hahaha, old gelding, you can really talk!"

After a while, Sun Kewang and others went to investigate and came back, and hugged their fists at Zhang Xianzhong:

"Wang, I asked clearly, the first to enter the palace at that time was Zhang Qi's third battalion named Wang Ke's junior colonel, and according to him, there was also a subordinate under Wang Shangli named Yuan Baosong, but I didn't find this person after checking and checking."

Zhang Xianzhong immediately looked angrily at Wang Shangli who came over, "You are a thief, is it the person you arranged?" ”

Wang Shangli was so frightened that a cold sweat broke out on his forehead, "King, when the north gate was broken, his subordinates hadn't been able to break through the east gate, how could they send troops into the palace?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the carrier hall was terrified.

What the fuck is going on?

This is not over, a constantly sounding voice in the palace of the King of Shu ran in from far and near.

"Report, my lord, there is news outside the city, and an army of officers and soldiers is coming thirty miles to the east."

"Which part is it?"

Zhang Xianzhong stood up in shock.

"It should be the soldiers and horses under the command of Yu Yongkai, the general soldier of Shunqing, at least with the number of 100,000!"

With a "bang", Zhang Xianzhong directly threw an incense burner next to the throne of the King of Shu to the ground.

"Yu Yongkai, the thief, Lao Tzu hasn't gone to trouble him yet, how dare he come to fight me first!"

All the generals in the hall were a little heartbroken, and the battle in Dingyuan County made everyone suffer a lot.

Even Bai Wenxuan, the former military governor, was directly killed, so everyone couldn't worry.

Zhong Yuhe, who was watching coldly from the sidelines, immediately came out coldly and said:

"King, now that the official army is threatened outside, we have just broken the city, and the most important thing is to clear the threat in the city first, so as not to catch us off guard when the officials and troops are united."

After speaking, Zhong Yuhe glanced at Wang Zhaolin without a trace while straightening his official hat.

Wang Zhaolin's eyelids jumped, and he suddenly understood, if all the officials in Chengdu stayed, wouldn't it be a threat to himself and others?

In his heart, he gave Zhong Yuhe a thumbs up, and Wang Zhaolin hurriedly stood up and said:

"What Brother Zixuan said is reasonable, the king, it is better to kill all the clans and officials in the city, and it can also deter the people of the city."

Zhang Xianzhong was already angry because of Yu Yongkai's matter, and immediately clapped his hands when he heard it: "Okay, just do what you say." ”

There was a cry again in the city of Chengdu.

King Deyang, King Neijiang and many other vassal kings, as well as Liu Zhibo and other officials from Sichuan and Chengdu, were all dragged to death in front of the people outside the palace of the King of Shu, and the city of Chengdu was trembling.

Thirty miles east of Chengdu, Yu Yongkai almost got stuck and led the army here on time.

Hearing that the rogue army outside the city was full of chickens and dogs, Yu Yongkai, Zhang Jingliang and others smiled, and the entire Liu family army simply camped here, quietly waiting for the news in the city.

That night, taking advantage of the cover of night, a military intelligence agent spies came out of the city and went straight to Yu Yongkai's camp.

"Report to the general army, Zhang Xianzhong's army has killed all the clans and officials in the city, and the Funan River is red."

"Okay", in the main account, Yu Yongkai was not angry but happy, and looked directly at Zhang Jingliang and the others: "In this way, we will attack the city tomorrow, and we will never give Zhang Thief a chance to kill the people of Sichuan." ”

"The second brother is so calculating", Zhang Jingliang also kept laughing at this time, "By the way, can there be any children of the Shu Wangfu clan who escaped?" ”

The agent of the Military Intelligence Bureau who came to report the news said with a smile: "Originally, there were several clans such as King Huayang and King Shiquan who took advantage of the chaos to run out of the city, but fortunately, Mr. Zhong had already arranged for people to watch outside the city, and all these people had been arrested and brought into the city, and the King of Shu and his family had no more to live." ”

Yu Yongkai and others followed up with another applause, so that as long as he and others recovered Chengdu, the entire Sichuan would basically be controlled by the Liu family.

Early in the morning of May 11, Yu Yongkai's army had breakfast early, and then immediately set up camp and went straight to Chengdu City.

The whole army was divided into two routes, one from the northeast and the other from the east, and the two were not more than a few miles apart, so that they could echo each other at any time.

By noon, the 100,000-strong army had already surrounded the east and northeast of Chengdu, completely cutting off the possibility of the Great Western Army fleeing to northern and northeastern Sichuan.

Zhang Xianzhong and others didn't expect Yu Yongkai's determination to march so much, although he had suffered a defeat before, but the Great Western Army still had a strong mentality of relying on its own people.

Including Li Dingguo and other generals, all wanted to wait for their own side to settle down, and then go out of the city to fight against Yu Yongkai, even if they couldn't win the battle, it shouldn't be a big problem to occupy Chengdu.

Who knows, Yu Yongkai didn't take the Great Western Army in his eyes at all, and only 100,000 people dared to stage a drama of encircling more than 300,000 troops.

This move really made Zhang Xianzhong and others in the city angry.

However, before the Great Western Army could decide on a battle strategy, the sound of artillery outside the city was the first to sound.

"Boom", "Boom"

Just after noon, the Liu family's artillery positions set up in the east and northeast respectively made a loud noise, and hundreds of shells went straight to the camp where the thieves were still outside the city.

There are more than 300,000 soldiers in the Great Western Army, almost as many as the people of Chengdu, and it is impossible for such a huge army to be stuffed into Chengdu City, so Yu Yongkai and others were the first to attack here.

In the two months that Zhang Xianzhong made a detour from Chongqing to Luzhou to attack Chengdu, the Liu family was not idle.

While sending people to keep an eye on the movements of the Great Western Army, Yu Yongkai led the Great Army to march slowly to the west, on the one hand, naturally to delay time, and on the other hand, because the more than 500 artillery pieces in Yu Yongkai's army marched quite slowly.

But all the wait paid off.

Under the fierce artillery bombardment of Yu Yongkai's army, the large battalion in the east of the Great Western Army was the first to collapse.

Without giving the Great Western Army a chance to reorganize its armament for war, Yu Yongkai made a decisive decision and personally commanded two divisions of 40,000 troops to pounce directly.

Armed with muskets, a dense group of 40,000 horses rushed in like a tidal wave, rushing from five miles away.

"Bang", "Bang"

The Onishi Army did not have a decent camp outside the city, and it was even more chaotic after a bombardment.

At this time, the soldiers of the Liu family no longer left their hands, and the bullets were directly sprinkled on the entire position of the Great Western Army as if they did not need money.

There are also many soldiers of the Great Western Army who plan to charge, but they often have not run halfway, and when they turn their heads, they find that their men are almost finished.

As the saying goes, taking advantage of your illness to kill you, at the same time as the East Road broke the thief army, in the northeast, Zhang Jingliang also began to lead people to charge.

In the city of Chengdu, Zhang Xianzhong and others were all panicked.

The whole army of the Great West did not expect that the army under Yu Yongkai would be so fierce.

Looking down from the city wall, the entire Great Western Army front was almost on the verge of collapse.

In the face of Liu Jiajun's shooting like a rain of bullets, even the soldiers of the Great Western Army could not resist with a big shield, let alone other soldiers who had no means of defense.

As the time gradually passed to the afternoon, the entire Yu Yongkai army gradually stopped and began to retreat.

At this time, most of the more than 100,000 troops of the Great Western Army outside the city had been annihilated, and only more than 20,000 people were left to flee back to the city in a hurry.
