272 Fangs are present
In the early autumn of the twenty-fourth year of Chongzhen, Jianmen Pass finally became the result of the powerful red-coated cannon of the Ming Dynasty after resisting the Ming Sun Chuanting for two full months, and in early September.
A blockade, almost the entire Jianmen Pass to pieces, Sun Chuanting relied on the Ming Dynasty's wealth and wealth, a lot of artillery in his hands and the real usable army and other factors, stunned to follow the tactics of the Hongtang army, with powerful artillery to the Jianmen Pass city wall non-stop bombardment.
In the end, at the cost of destroying eleven red-coated cannons, the city defense that Sun Kewang thought he thought was strong was blown up alive from the north, with a gap of three or four zhang wide, even if Sun Kewang had the intention to organize manpower to quickly repair it, it was almost impossible to do it in a short time.
Of course, Sun Chuanting could not give Sun Kewang this opponent with the same surname this time to repair the gap, and finally opened a great opportunity to open the gap in front of him.
The final street battle, which lasted for five days, also gave the Great Western Dynasty army an extremely important buffer time after the Jianmen Pass.
The fall of Jianmen Pass is an irresistible trend, the 200,000 troops of the Ming Dynasty are eyeing each other, and it is extremely rare for Sun Kewang to hold on to the 50,000 troops in his hands until now.
Sun Kewang saw that the general trend had gone, and after holding the Jianmen Pass with the remnants for five days, he abandoned the city and evacuated towards Zitong behind the Jianmen Pass, and joined General Li Dingguo, who was supposed to sit in the southwest, to continue to complete his failed mission.
In fact, the gate of Jianmen Pass was opened, that is, the gate of the country of abundance in the Chengdu Plain was opened.
And after having the Golden Bull Road, a grain transportation channel, the Youyou Qinling Mountains are not so difficult to cross.
And Daxi Zhang Xianzhong is also clear about this truth, although he is very reluctant to watch the Jianmen Pass lost, and also thought about sending a large army to reinforce Jianmen, but the mainstay of the Ming Dynasty, the protector of the country Sun Chuanting, although the main force is attacking Jianmen, there are also two partial divisions, by Zuo Liangyu and Zhang Huangyan, the squire of the military department, each with 50,000 troops, to attack the Taoyuan of Micang Road and Wanyuan of Lychee Road, forcing the few remaining reinforcements of the Daxi Dynasty not to dare to act without authorization, so as not to take care of one or the other.
Moreover, the Ming Dynasty is now learning the money tactics of Hongmen, and does not hesitate to spend resources to use artillery to open the way, so that the war mode that has been accustomed to using strong cities to defend against the enemy for thousands of years has changed differently, that is, no matter how many troops gather in Jianmen Pass, the role it can actually play is not as big as imagined.
The Jianmen was closed into the hands of Sun Chuanting, which means that the terrain that the Ming Dynasty will face next is no longer the narrow road before, but the plain of Pingchuan, so that the 200,000 troops under his command will also be able to give full play to his numerical advantage, so that the Chengdu Plain, which fell into the hands of Zhang Xianzhong, the murderer of Daxier, will return to the arms of the Ming Dynasty, and at the same time, he can also complete Sun Chuanting's mission.
Intelligence from the northeast shows that the Hongmen army, which is now the real henchman of the Ming Dynasty in the eastern border of Liaodong, has moved, and it is said that in order to carry out a training, 30,000 troops were gathered in Shanhaiguan to carry out a purge of the grassland on the northern line of Shanhaiguan.
Of course, Sun Chuanting didn't know that at this time, the cities under the control of Hongmen, such as Shanhaiguan and Zunhua, were not only the 30,000 troops shown in the intelligence, but the entire 80,000 troops with real guns and ammunition.
Even if there is no detailed source of information, but at this sensitive time node, Hong Tang, who has been in a calm state, has frequent changes, for Inspector Sun Chuanting, who has been strategizing in a hundred battles, this is not a good sign, and the flavor behind it is self-evident.
For this reason, Sun Chuanting focused on the military capture of Jianmen Pass, and on the other hand, he always paid attention to the changes in the northeast, and at the same time asked the imperial court to closely monitor Dayuan Island in the south.
Sun Chuanting prayed that God could give him, the Ming Dynasty, a chance, and not have any other waves before he defeated Zhang Xianzhong and recovered the Chengdu Plain.
Therefore, after occupying Jianmen Pass and opening the gate of the Chengdu Plain, Sun Chuanting reversed the previous steady and steady posture in Jianmen Pass, and when the 100,000 troops of the headquarters attacked Zitong, he also sent a partial division to bypass Zitong and march towards the interior of the Chengdu Plain.
In this arrangement, it was a quick plan from the beginning, and when the elite of Onishi was dragged in Zitong, Micang Road and Lychee Road, the rest of the territory and rich areas were abandoned, but they wanted to capture the thief and capture the king first, and directly take Chengdu, the country of abundance, and force the Onishi army to mess up.
The news of the loss of Jianmen Pass spread from the remote southwest to Keelung County, Dayuan Island, far away in the South Sea, in two days.
The high-level Hongmen who received this news from Li Tianyang downwards, everyone changed color for it, and with Li Tianyang's action order to reach various departments, Hongmen, which had been dormant for nearly thirty years, finally revealed their sultry minions at this moment and stretched out to their opponents.
In Yuegang, Quanzhou, An Xianguo, the shopkeeper of Qixintang, was busy greeting guests from the south to the north, and was picking up a lot of valuable orders.
Suddenly, a hurried guy walked up to An Xianguo's side, whispered a few words in his ear, and quietly sent a bamboo tube into An Xianguo's sleeve.
Listening to the guy's report, although An Xianguo's face changed too hard, but at that time, the movement of his hand showed his inner fluctuations, but no one could detect this slight movement.
Quietly suggested that An Xianguo put down his work and hand it over to the teller next to him, while he himself strode straight to his study behind the store.
After carefully inspecting the study and seeing that there was nothing abnormal, An Xianguo took out the sealed thin bamboo tube and shook out the small ball of letter paper inside.
"Great changes in the family, return quickly!"
It's just a number, but in An Xianguo's eyes, it is like the world is turned upside down, and it took him a lot of effort to suppress his mixed feelings.
It wasn't until he thought he was in a good mood that he began to call a confidant and give him an order: "The family has decided to move, and from now on, start to implement the first set of plans!" ”
"Yes!"
On the surface, he was just a guy, but in fact he was Zheng Sheng, who was the leader of the Quanzhou Action Group of the Hongmen Outer Guard, strode away after a capable military salute.
The next day, the Yuegang branch of Qixintang, which was originally accustomed to never resting, suddenly hung up the closed archway, which surprised many businessmen from all parties who wanted to buy goods in Qixintang.
