At the head of Dongcheng, Wu Qiu was even more anxious than Song Wen, less than half of the more than 100 of them had standard weapons, and the rest of the soldiers were basically household kitchen knives and wooden sticks, which were inferior to Liukou.
They were a surprise attack, the Ming army was unprepared, at the beginning, it had the upper hand, and when the Ming army reacted, they immediately launched a counterattack, in the face of life and death, both sides were fighting each other.
The Ming army is all standard, not only are they all standard knives, but they also have defensive armor on their bodies, although the number is not as good as Wu Qiu's, but they gradually gain the upper hand, forcing Wu Qiu and them to retreat one after another.
According to the current development of the situation, let alone snatching the city gate, once the reinforcements of the Ming army arrive, they will all be wrapped in dumplings.
Wu Qiu had already heard the movement outside the city, and knew that the Heavenly Mandate Army had approached the city wall, so he was waiting for them to open the city gate, however, the situation was beyond his expectations, and the Ming army was not crushed with one blow!
What to do?
Could it be that the future that he has won so hard has slipped away in vain? He swung his sword vigorously and forced the Ming army in front of him to retreat, and there were already dense beads of sweat on his head......
If you continue to fight so hard, you will definitely not be able to open the city gate!
Wu Qiu was in a hurry, why not so......
He handed over the task of fighting to his subordinates, and with two brothers wearing waist swords, he sneaked out of the battlefield and ran to the east gate, as long as he opened the city gate and let the soldiers of the Heavenly Mandate Army enter the city, everything would be different.
With the faint shadow of the moon, the Ming army discovered Wu Qiu's attempt, and someone shouted: "It's not good, the spies are going to open the city gate, stop them quickly......"
The Ming army had already had an advantage, so at this time, they divided three or five people to chase and intercept Wu Qiuwei, Wu Qiu saw that the momentum was not right, so he had to say loudly: "Brothers, stop the Ming army, we only need a quarter of an hour to open the city gate and let the Heavenly Mandate Army enter the city!" โ
There was a scuffle in the city, and both sides couldn't see the appearance of the opponent clearly, completely relying on feelings, and even letting the opponent go because of their own people, it was not impossible.
Wu Qiu doesn't care about anything, the city gate, only by opening the city gate, can it be possible to win the turnaround!
The three of them had already gotten down the city and ran to the east gate, regardless of the screams and cries of their brothers.
Wu Qiu came to the east city gate, and saw that the city gate had been locked, and without saying a word, the wheel knife was cut, and the two people who followed him were also concocted in the same way, no matter whether the iron lock or the iron gate was destroyed, as long as it was destroyed.
Hearing the crackling sound, Song Wen in the city gate cave finally stretched his brows, "This Wu Qiu, it's finally here, it's not too late...... Hey, why are there so many footsteps? โ
"General, it must be that reinforcements from the Ming army have arrived, it's been so long......"
"Ah...... It's not good," Song Wen suddenly looked like a deflated ball, Wu Qiu was chopping the iron gate, there must be no key, the reinforcements of the Ming army had arrived, if they couldn't split the city gate in time, Wu Qiu would lose the opportunity forever.
Song Wen is not afraid of a strong attack, but under the strong attack, there will definitely be many brothers who will die, and if he goes south to Bashu, there will be no replenishment of troops for a while and a half, and there are only 5,000 soldiers in the seventh battalion, and one less casualty is one.
He wished that he was Superman and could fly through the city gate to help Wu Qiu, however, this was just a pipe dream.
Song Wen was so anxious that he was in a hurry, and his heart moved, since the Heavenly Mandate Army couldn't enter the city to help, why not chop from outside the city gate, and always speed up......
He shouted, and a thunderbolt flashed like a sunny day: "Brothers, quick, cut with a knife!" He shouted to the city again: "Brother Wu Qiu, let's help you......"
Wu Qiu's waist knife had already rolled up, like a blunt axe, every time the knife went down, slashed on the iron ring, it was a tiger's mouth bursting, a few blood blisters increased in the palm of his hand, and his strength was also a little exhausted, he was almost desperate.
Hearing Song Wen calling his name outside, and another sword and axe falling on the city gate, his confidence suddenly increased, "Brothers, quickly, the Heavenly Mandate Army is here to answer us." โ
"Boom...... Click......"
The city gate has been seriously crooked, and even the door shaft is deformed, but it can't be cut through, and people inside and outside can hear each other's voices, but they can't see the faces.
At this time, particularly alarming footsteps had already appeared behind Wu Qiu, first a small cluster, and then a chaotic footsteps, obviously the reinforcements of the Ming army had arrived.
"Lord Wu, the Ming army is here......"
"Leave them alone, this is the first time we have served the Mandate of Heaven Army, don't disappoint the Metropolitan Governor, cut ......"
"The Ming army has arrived behind ......"
"Chop ......"
Wu Qiu didn't wait for his brothers to respond, he picked up the big knife and slashed at the door shaft, shouting, "Cut...... Chop...... Chop ......"
This knife went down, just cutting off the door shaft, and the iron door finally tilted to the side, revealing a huge doorway, however, Wu Qiu didn't see all this, almost at the same time as his big knife slashed towards the door shaft, a waist knife came out of his hand, like an arrow off the string, flying towards his back.
Wu Qiu only felt a chill on his back, and his body fell softly, and he screamed to himself: "Cut ......"
Song Wen saw that the city gate was open, and hurriedly shouted: "Brother Wu Qiu, you guys lie down quickly......"
"Bang, bang, bang......"
Before the words fell, the gunshots were remembered, full of anger, and with the whistling bullets, they rushed to the Ming army at the city gate.
In the darkness, the Ming army was caught off guard, and suddenly fell in a large area, shouting, rolling, and cursing......
The gunfire started again, and the gunmen in the back row shot, they couldn't distinguish the other figures, and whoever was in charge was the enemy.
In a short time, the Celestial Destiny Army had already entered the city gate, quickly establishing a ring of defense near the city gate, and with the help of the hazy moonlight and the faint light of rifle fire, the road ahead was cleared.
The Mandate of Heaven army advanced alternately, and after the soldiers in the front row shot, they immediately crouched down and gave way to the middle row, and after the soldiers in the middle row shot, they also crouched down, and then gave way to the back row, and then, the gunners in the front row who had just shot had already loaded their bullets and fired again.
Cycle after cycle, cycle after cycle, and endlessly......
Although the sky is not clear, the Heavenly Mandate Army is well-trained, advancing, giving way, and loading ammunition are all orderly, killing from the city gate to the head of the city, and the Ming army, who do not open their eyes, can only follow their companions and roll on the ground.
However, in half an hour, the two thousand Heavenly Mandate troops all entered the city, and there was no longer a Ming army standing at the city gate and the head of the city, and they were either shot down by rifles or frightened by the Heavenly Mandate Army, knowing that the city gate could not be guarded, they ran away in a puff of smoke.
Song Wen didn't have time to clean up the battlefield, he left two hundred soldiers and asked them to guard the city gate, clean the battlefield, and rescue Wu Qiu, and then divided eight hundred households to go to the south city gate to pick up the rest of the soldiers of the seventh battalion outside the city.
He personally led a thousand soldiers along the city wall to the north gate, and then turned to the west gate, and received the cavalry of the second battalion into the city.
The Ming army was still able to organize soldiers to resist at first, but when it encountered the infantry of the Mandate of Heaven, there was a volley from afar, and the Ming army was solved.
The soldiers of the Mandate of Heaven Army kept meeting in the center of the city, the Ming army had been dispersed, the soldiers did not see the generals, the generals did not see the soldiers, and they were chased by the Mandate of Heaven and had no way to enter the ground, so they had to surrender on their knees.
After dawn, Li Zicheng entered the city from the east gate and asked what Wu Qiu had done, not only sighed: Wu Qiu is really a loyal man!
He gave the order to die to the doctors in the army...... No matter what the cost is, you must save Wu Qiu, even if he is disabled, you must save your life!
Li Guo and Song Wen each saw Li Zicheng and reported to each ministry for their gains.
Li Zicheng nodded slightly and said, "How about the brothers, have you harassed the people?" โ
"No, no," Li Guo hurriedly said: "When the subordinates were chasing the remnants of the soldiers, they personally followed behind the soldiers, absolutely no one dared to harass the people, and when the battle occurred, the people were sleeping soundly, and the brothers definitely did not dare to come to the door." โ
"That's good," Li Zicheng smiled and said, "How is it in the city?" Have you purged the remnants of the enemy? โ
"The brothers are scattered in the city, continuing to chase the remnants, and the subordinates estimate that it will take at least half a day!" Song Wen arched his hands and said, "The Governor of the Metropolis, and the ...... of the Royal Mansion"
"What's wrong with the palace?" In Li Zicheng's heart, he has always been thinking about the palace, which is a symbol of silver and food, others can let it go, the palace will never let go, even if it lets go of personnel, it is impossible to let go of property.
"The Grand Duke," Song Wen said, "the palace has its own guards and thick city walls, so ...... It was dark at that time, and the subordinates were worried that the brothers would damage their belongings, so they did not attack ......."
"General Song is concerned," Li Zicheng said in his heart, the palace is too rich, and the property should not show up for the time being, if the soldiers know, it is inevitable that the information will be leaked, he is not worried that others will have the courage to rob it, but he is worried that the soldiers are unbalanced, "The palace is in the city, and now that we have controlled the entire city, are we afraid that they will not be able to escape?" Don't worry, first stabilize the order in the city, so that the people and merchants can settle down. โ
The people are the foundation of Chengdu's survival, and the merchants are the source of development, without them, Chengdu, Sichuan is just an empty city.
Chengdu is the capital of Sichuan, a real metropolis, with much thicker heritage than Xining and Lanzhou, as long as it is not destroyed in the war, Li Zicheng believes that it will be able to drive the development of Sichuan and even the Longyou region.
In Chengdu Mansion, in addition to the Shu Prince's Mansion, there are many yamen, the most important of which is the Sichuan Governor Yamen, because the governor and the right attendant of the military department, the deputy capital of the Imperial Envoy, so it is also called: the ministry, the governor.
In Sichuan, there are many Tusi, and there are often rebellions, so the governor is not only in charge of civil affairs, but also controls the highest military and political affairs of a province, and even the Sichuan commander is also under his command, so the Sichuan governor Yamen is also called the general Yamen.
Li Zicheng decided to personally visit the highest military and political governor in Sichuan, and although the two fought a battle in Deyang, they never met.
At this time, the general's yamen has been taken by the Mandate of Heaven Army, Wang Weizhang has become a prisoner of war of the Mandate of Heaven's army, when Li Zicheng came to the general's yamen, the soldiers were escorting Wang Weizhang out, saw Li Zicheng, and hurriedly saluted verbally, "Governor!" โ
"Get up, don't be polite," Li Zicheng looked at a person tied up in front of him, and said, "Who is he?" Where are you going to take him? โ
"Back to the Governor of Dadu, he is Wang Weizhang, the governor of Sichuan," the little flag officer straightened his chest and said proudly: "My subordinates caught this big fish and were about to escort him to see the Governor!" โ
