Ma Jinzhong and Li Dingguo led the generals around the city to peep at the city defense, and everyone galloped around Chengdu for a long time before stopping on a high slope not far from the city.

There are not many cities in Chinese history that can be the capital, although Chengdu is not suitable to be the capital of a unified dynasty, but it has become the capital of the southwest secession regime several times in history, without the air of the emperor, but the spirit of the king.

The essence of Sichuan is in the Chengdu Plain, where Chengdu is located, which is to control the entire Shuzhong.

After the Jin State occupied this place, it focused on restoring the city, not only the population of the city was restored to more than 50,000 households, but the city wall was also reinforced, and the defense facilities were very complete.

Ma Jinzhong looked at it and said: "The defense facilities on this Chengdu city are complete, and the city wall is more than three zhang high, so it can stand shoulder to shoulder with Wuchang, and it is not easy to fight!" ”

"Jin Guo has been operating here for several years, and Chengdu's defense is really good, it is the largest city in Sichuan, but because he is big, we can attack some better!" Li Dingguo said with a smile: "Dashuai, the situation in the city, I already know it clearly, Chen Ke has only more than 10,000 old and weak in his hands, and the city wall is not satisfied, see how he defends!" ”

Ma Jinzhong heard the words, asked the guards for a clairvoyant mirror, and then looked at Chengdu, but saw that the entire section of the city wall was full of soldiers, and he was not surprised and a little puzzled, but after a closer look, in addition to the front row of soldiers, the back were just some young people in the city.

Li Dingguo saw Ma Jinzhong put down the clairvoyant mirror, and immediately smiled: "The young and strong people in the city are estimated to have been pulled to the city by Chen Ke, but in my opinion, they are just inserting bids and selling their heads." ”

Ma Jinzhong also relaxed at this time, he picked up the clairvoyant mirror and looked at it for a while, "Pay attention to the four gates tonight, don't let Chen Ke run away, early tomorrow morning, the army will attack the city, and the city must be broken in one day!" ”

He said and glanced at Li Dingguo, "I know that Chen Ke's guy has a special meaning to the brothers in Zhongyi Town, and Dingguo will command the siege tomorrow!" ”

He Tengjiao was thick-skinned, but Ma Jinzhong was a little reluctant to go, so he reciprocated Li and let Li Dingguo command.

Li Dingguo didn't have any extra words, he immediately clenched his fists and shouted with several generals: "Obey!" ”

Ma Jinzhong led 25,000 people to the city, the Ming army had sufficient troops, and the troops were divided to watch the four gates, so Li Dingguo did not have to fight with Chen Kena, and when the defenders in the city saw the Ming army coming from the wilderness, they were already frightened, and they trembled. That night, Chen Ke tried to break through again, but failed again.

In the early morning of the next day, after the Ming army had breakfast, Li Dingguo commanded the troops to start attacking the city, the Ming army was not much, but spread out to the city, cloud ladders, flying bridges, artillery, siege towers, wells and other siege equipment swung to the plain, and the momentum was surging towards the city.

At this time, the sun had come out, Li Dingguo looked at the city, and saw that the Ming army array had been completed, and then instructed his generals: "Remember, the Jin army is only more than 10,000, but Chengdu City is more than ten miles, I will arrange people and horses to feint to attack the other three sides, and there will not be many troops to defend the front." You wait for my order, immediately rush over, and take Chengdu in one go! ”

Seeing this, Li Dingguo added, "Today we must break the city and arrest all the traitors in the city." ”

As soon as he said that, he waved his hand, and many generals turned over and left the Chinese army to return to their own positions.

At this time, the Chinese army ordered the flag, and several artillery pieces began to rumble and pour fire on the city, the cannons made a deafening sound, and dozens of shells whistled out, hitting the city, and the masonry was shattered.

The war drums of "dong dong dong" sounded, hugging all kinds of siege equipment, looking at the Ming soldiers at the head of the city with disdain, and seeing the war knife of the general stationed in front of the main formation, the whistling sound of the soldiers immediately rose to the sky, shaking the earth.

The Ming army outside the city immediately rushed towards Chengdu like a huge wave rolling on the sea. The first flying bridge troops, carrying trenches and wooden planks, rushed forward quickly, and behind, the soldiers holding the ladders pushed the equipment, shouted the trumpet vigorously, and the towering siege towers were like huge beasts, pushed by them to slowly arrive in Chengdu.

Wu Sangui did not intend to defend Sichuan, and the officials of the Jin State who stayed in Sichuan naturally did not have the intention of defending Sichuan.

After Li Dingguo's soldiers came to the city, Chen Ke wanted to break through, not to defend Chengdu, the Jin army did not make much preparation at all, they faced the surging Ming army, and immediately felt an invisible pressure on the defenders' hearts.

In fact, the 10,000 soldiers in Chengdu City are not all old and weak, among which more than 1,000 soldiers in the Ming Dynasty still have strong combat power, but when these soldiers face the attacking old boss, their hearts are empty, their hearts are not spiritual, and their combat power is not one in ten.

In the face of the elite army that had just destroyed Sun Kewang and severely damaged the Emperor of Jin, the old and weak soldiers at the head of the city were full of fear.

A defender general, his heart was full of entanglement, and when the Ming army entered the firing range, he reacted. Seeing this, the pro-soldier next to him was suddenly in a hurry, fighting and not fighting, descending and not surrendering, what did he want, he hurriedly and anxiously reminded, "General, the Ming army is near!" ”

There was no turning back from this fight, but the defender who was reminded hurriedly pulled out his sword, gritted his teeth and shouted: "Release the arrow!" ”

The arrows at the head of the city are shot down, but no matter how you look at it, the momentum is insufficient, the archery is not as good as the gun, it is a physical work, and the arrows shot by the old and weak in the city are obviously not strong enough.

A Ming soldier who rushed forward, with an arrow in the chest, was so frightened that his face turned pale, thinking that he was going to die, and called out a few times in horror, but found that the arrow did not pierce through the armor, but was stuck between the two armor pieces, his face was red, and he was extremely embarrassed, and quickly looked left and right, and saw that his comrades were charging forward, and did not notice him, so he breathed a sigh of relief, pulled out the arrow, and rushed forward with a roar.

Soon the Ming army set up a flying bridge on the moat, the troops who climbed the city entered the city, the ladder set up the city wall, the soldiers began to climb up, the Ming army under the city was strong, and the rows of guns suppressed the city, and the already sparse arrow rain on the city became more sparse.

Under the fierce offensive of the Ming army, the old and weak troops in the city had no intention of resisting, and the young and strong people with no combat experience were piled up on the city wall, which was the first to cause chaos. When the Ming army climbed the city wall, the defenders began to disperse. Chen Ke did not defend the city, seeing that the situation was not good, he once again led more than a thousand elite soldiers, ready to break through from the northern city, he took away the elite soldiers, and accelerated the fall of the city, and he failed to break through this time, and he could never return to the city.
