Chapter 411: Zhang Xianzhong's Death (1)

"Shoot the arrows!"

"Xiuxiu" Chengdu East Gate, arrows rain.

Seeing that more than 10,000 soldiers of the thief army who were abandoned outside the city actually surrendered to the Ming army, the general of the thief army brazenly ordered archery.

A rain of arrows shot and killed many thief soldiers who knelt on the ground and surrendered, and also shot and killed many Ming soldiers who were mixed with it, including some Ying Long soldiers.

The Ming soldiers quickly pressed the surrendered thief soldiers to evacuate the range of the thieves' bows and arrows.

When he knew that many soldiers of the Fifth Army of Yinglong Army were also shot in the rain of arrows just now, Zhang Kuishan was so angry that his face turned blue.

"Zhang Xianzhong is so vicious, he doesn't even let go of his own people!" Zhang Kuishan said angrily.

The Ming army stopped more than 100 meters away from the Chengdu city wall.

"Of course Zhang Xianzhong is vicious, you just arrived here, I'm afraid you don't know yet, this is just a trivial matter for Zhang Xianzhong." Zhou Cao smiled bitterly and shook his head, thinking of the strong men of the Red Blood Army and the ordinary people of Chengdu who were pushed down the city wall by Zhang Xianzhong's order and fell to death, Zhou Cao was congested for a while, holding back a bad breath.

Zhang Kuishan was stunned for a moment, then frowned, listening to what Zhou Cao said, it seems that Zhang Xianzhong is afraid that he is more ferocious than the legend.

"The two army commanders, if you order the army to attack Chengdu at this time, you can fight in one battle!" At this time, Qin Liangyu was suddenly helped over by Ma Yue'e and said to Zhang Kuishan and Zhou Cao.

"Oh? How so? Zhang Kuishan asked, looking at Qin Liangyu with Zhou Cao.

Qin Liangyu is a woman, at the age of sixty years old, she also commanded the army to fight with the thief army all night when she was injured, and now she can still hold on without falling, such a spirit makes Zhang Kuishan quite admired, when he was still in the capital, he often heard the emperor praise Qin Liangyu as the Yang Gate She Taijun of the Ming Dynasty, and now seeing Qin Liangyu with his own eyes, Zhang Kuishan knew that the emperor definitely did not look up to Qin Liangyu, and Qin Liangyu deserved such an honor.

"The thief army is newly defeated, morale is low, and now it has just fled into the city, the city gate must not have been blocked by the boulder, plus this city wall has been bombarded by the second army's hundred cannons for a day and a night, the moat has almost been filled, not enough to stop the army, as long as you find a box of cannonballs, order someone to blow up the city gate, Chengdu can be down in an instant!" Qin Liangyu said.

Zhang Kuishan's eyes lit up, indeed, ** is too simple for the corresponding Dragon Army, as long as he gives an order, he can immediately transfer a box of shells and gunpowder from the artillery battalion of the Fifth Army, and it is not a problem to blow up the city gate that has lost the protection of the moat and has no time to block it with a boulder.

Zhang Kuishan was about to do so, but was stopped by Zhou Cao again.

"Wait, I can't see it!" Zhou Cao objected.

"Although the city gate can be blown open, there are many thief archers on the city wall who are always vigilant, whether it is to blow up the city gate or attack after blowing up the city gate, there will inevitably be a lot of casualties, and besides, the second army and the army of the governor of Qin have been fighting with the thief army for nearly a day and a night, and the soldiers are tired and need to rest urgently, otherwise their physical strength is difficult to support!"

Zhou Cao continued: "In addition, Zhang Xianzhong did too much in the Red Blood Army incident, forcing the people of Chengdu to eat Zhang Xianzhong's meat raw, this time more than 10,000 thieves soldiers were abandoned outside the city, it is the second time that the thief army has abandoned their own soldiers outside the city, there must be many thieves and soldiers are cold, I don't think Zhang Xianzhong can be stable in the next few days, maybe we will have unexpected gains in a day or two." ”

Zhou Cao's words caused Qin Liangyu and Zhang Kuishan to ponder.

"Commander Zhou Gao Jian, it's the old body that is anxious!" Qin Liangyu knew that Zhou Cao's words were very reasonable, it was she who was affected by the tragic death of her grandson, in the final analysis, Qin Liangyu's hatred for Zhang Xianzhong was no worse than that of the ordinary people in Chengdu.

Qin Liangyu generously admitted, and at the same time, he became more and more satisfied with Zhou Cao, this future grandson-in-law is really not simple.

Since Qin Liangyu agreed, and Zhang Kuishan himself felt that it made sense, the Ming army gave up the idea of attacking Chengdu immediately, and immediately re-established its camp five hundred meters away from Chengdu.

The big tent of the Chinese army in the camp was re-established, Zhang Kuishan was quite curious and asked Zhang Xianzhong what he had done to the ordinary people in Chengdu, why Zhou Cao and Qin Liangyu revealed a lot of Zhang Xianzhong's hatred in their words three times and twice, implying that Zhang Xianzhong's cruelty was beyond imagination.

When he learned from Zhou Cao's mouth about the Red Blood Army incident and Zhang Xianzhong's actions, Zhang Kuishan's eyes widened suddenly.

"Zhang Xianzhong actually did this, if it was the local people, it would be fine, but Chengdu is the capital of his so-called Great Western Kingdom, and the people in it are the people under his rule, he still dares to do this, isn't this destroying his own foundation with his own hands, he is not afraid of God's punishment?" Zhang Kuishan was shocked.

Zhang Kuishan finally understood why Zhou Cao said that Zhang Xianzhong would not be able to be stable in the next few days, and the city of Chengdu would not be calm.

If Zhang Xianzhong's army was not defeated outside the city, but victorious, Zhou Cao's words might not have happened, but it happened that Zhang Xianzhong's army was defeated, and now there are no more than 40,000 thieves in Chengdu, but there are nearly 200,000 ordinary people who want to eat Zhang Xianzhong's meat raw, as well as many cold-hearted thieves, Zhang Xianzhong can still be stable.

"In that case, how about we add another fire?" Zhang Kuishan said suddenly: "Since Zhang Xianzhong can't be stable, we will make him even more unstable, this time into Sichuan, the Fifth Army brought enough shells, our two armies together, a full two hundred field artillery shells to bombard the Chengdu city wall, inevitably every round of shelling can make the entire Chengdu city shake three times, will you people who hate Zhang Xianzhong be inspired?" ”

Zhang Kuishan said, evil laughter, not only to encourage those who hate Zhang Xianzhong in Chengdu City, but also to make Zhang Xianzhong unable to sleep peacefully, Zhang Xianzhong has not slept for a day and a night, I don't believe that he can sleep under the fierce shelling of the Ying Long Army, it is not good that no one will do it, Zhang Xianzhong himself will die suddenly, in that way, he can capture Chengdu City without blood.

Zhou Cao and Qin Liangyu nodded at the same time.

With this decision, the two artillery battalions of the Second Army and the Fifth Army of the Ying Long Army set up artillery positions about 400 meters outside the city of Chengdu and prepared to bombard the city wall of Chengdu.

Just when Ying Long's army was about to continue shelling the city wall of Chengdu, the city of Chengdu had already begun to be unsettled.

As soon as Zhang Xianzhong returned to the palace, he immediately had a distorted face and asked people to bring Li Dingguo, it seemed that he had made up his mind to use Li Dingguo as a punching bag to show the evil spirit of this fiasco.

Poor Li Dingguo, he couldn't betray Zhang Xianzhong, but he was about to be forcibly pressed on his head by Zhang Xianzhong with a black pot that was enough for him to die ten times, and he didn't know if Li Dingguo could continue to live after seeing Zhang Xianzhong.
