This night, Li Shoujun's first battalion of soldiers can be said to have suffered a lot. They were all dressed in single clothes, and when they marched for days, they did not feel anything because they were sweating profusely. But now lying on the bank of the river can not move, although it is April, but the night in the mountains is still very cold, the taste can be imagined.
But the Qin soldiers are strictly disciplined, and that is really not covered. Even if a few people were affected by the wind and cold, they couldn't help but want to sneeze, but they had to cover their mouths and noses tightly and go back.
As a result of such strict enforcement of military orders, the rebels in the city more than ten zhang outside the city knew nothing about this force. After the sky gradually brightened, Li Shoujun followed Fu Zonglong's guidance and quietly moved his troops outside the Phoenix Gate, Renhe Gate, and Taiping Gate. There was not a single defender in these sections of the city wall, and Li Shoujun was also a little relieved, and the next thing was to wait for the signal from the regiment commander Li Laiheng.
It was estimated that it was already three o'clock in the morning, and the voices in the city were gradually getting noisy, thinking that the rebels and the inhabitants had already gotten up. Li Shoujun waited anxiously, thinking that if he didn't attack again, as soon as the fog dissipated, he would be discovered by the rebels immediately, and it would be troublesome!
At this moment, I suddenly heard a muffled sound from the far west. When the soldiers of Qin looked up in a hurry, they saw a faint light coming from the sky, and then the sound of killing was shocking!
Li Shoujun was waiting for this moment. In advance, Li Laiheng made an appointment with various ministries that when he launched a general attack, he would ignite a large number of fireworks as a signal. Although the fog was too big to see the ceremonial flowers blooming in the sky, the familiar shouting and killing voice unmistakably told Li Shoujun: The general attack has begun!
At this moment, all the cold, fatigue and sleepiness on Li Shoujun's body were swept away. He stood up, raised the single knife in his hand, and burst out of his chest with the simplest but most powerful word: "Kill!" ”
The soldiers of the first battalion had been waiting for too long, and this order was tantamount to liberating them. In the earth-shattering shouting and killing, nearly a thousand cavalrymen without war horses swarmed up with single knives and attacked the Chongqing city wall that had been guarded for most of the night!
The distance of more than ten zhang can be crossed by raising the leg, unlike other cities, Chongqing City has no moat because of the two natural barriers of the Yangtze River and the Jialing River, and now it provides a lot of convenience for the Qin soldiers. They quickly attached to the city walls, and most of them began to attack the city, while Li Shoujun led the guard platoon and went straight to the southern line to close the people and gates in the middle of the three gates.
Sure enough, as Fu Zonglong said, because the people and the gate have not been passed for a long time, there are no soldiers guarding the city tower at all. Although the heavy gate was solid, the walls on both sides of the tower had collapsed in small pieces, causing the walls here to be much shorter than the rest of the city, less than a zhang.
"Take the ladder!" Li Shoujun roared, and the two soldiers of the guard platoon immediately leaned against the city wall and squatted slightly.
Li Shoujun immediately flew up, stepped on the shoulders of the two soldiers, grabbed the wall with one hand, and carried the strength of one arm, and his body was vertical, and he had already climbed the city wall! Fu Zonglong in the back was dumbfounded, firstly, he didn't expect Li Shoujun to have such good skills, and secondly, he didn't expect Li Shoujun to take the lead as the commander of the first battalion, so he took the lead in killing it!
Soon more than a dozen Qin soldiers followed Li Shoujun to climb the city wall, but they did not meet any resistance at all at Renmen, because there was not even a single rebel here. Li Shoujun hurriedly opened the city gate, and with the concerted efforts of everyone, the people and gates that had been closed for more than a hundred years slowly opened. Accompanied by choking dust, more than 200 Qin soldiers outside swarmed in.
Only then did the rebels react.
At this time, the chief general of the rebel army entrenched in Chongqing was Fan Long, the son-in-law of Yongning Tusi Yu Chongming. Since Gao Chongming led the main force to attack Chengdu in the west, he became the emperor of the soil in Chongqing, indulging in wine and silver music every day, and was happy and happy.
Because he knew very well that the few officers and soldiers in Sichuan had gone to defend Chengdu, and Chongqing was surrounded by mountains on all sides, which was extremely difficult to pass, and even if the imperial court sent troops from other provinces to help, it would have to walk for at least three or five months. Before that time, he had already emptied the valuable things in Chongqing City, and then he could burn down Chongqing and return to his hometown in Yongning with a swagger.
As for the old man's extravagant Chongming, if he is willing to be the king of Daliang, he should go by himself, Chengdu has the ability to fight down, and if he can't beat it, he will definitely not save it. Fan Long's little abacus is very fine, and he has been able to prepare for both hands. Once Luxury Chongming loses, he can occupy Yongning, even if the imperial army comes to encircle and suppress, as a last resort, he can draw a clear line with Luxury Chongming and surrender the official army. In this way, he will become the new Yongning Toast, and this hand is also a trick that has been tried and tested repeatedly by various Toasts for hundreds of years.
But Fan Long never expected that just when he was hungover and didn't wake up, the official army had already entered the city! Not only Li Shoujun's battalion, but also all the other roads chose to close the city gates with no one to defend at all, and they did not meet resistance, and by the time the rebels reacted, all eight city gates had fallen into the hands of the officials and soldiers!
In the fog, the rebels didn't know how many soldiers and horses were coming, but the earth-shattering shouts of killing had frightened them. To be honest, the combat effectiveness of the Yongning native soldiers was not much stronger than that of ordinary peasants, and it was only because of the surprise attack by virtue of the superiority in numbers and the incompetence of the original officers and troops that they could occupy Chongqing. Of course, there are also some local soldiers with outstanding personal fighting ability, but they all followed Lu Chongming to fight in Chengdu, leaving behind some old and weak soldiers, and they don't even have decent training in peacetime, let alone any strategy and tactics.
Fan Long was also awakened by the shouting of killing, the first thought was that something was wrong, and the second thought was to quickly block the city gate and prevent the officials and soldiers from coming in.
However, when he came out, he realized that the official army had already entered through the closed city gate, and his 10,000 men were already fighting separately due to the surprise and lack of unified command, and the city had already been disrupted.
Fan Long's brain was still spinning very quickly. He immediately judged that the city could no longer be defended, and now he had to break through immediately. The Yi native soldiers are good at mountain warfare, as long as they escape into the mountains, he is sure that no officer or army can catch up with him, and then he can wait for the opportunity to counterattack, maybe he can fight back.
Thinking of this, Fan Long roared, and led hundreds of guards to the Golden Purple Gate in the south. The Golden Purple Gate was very close to the official office of the main town where he lived, as long as he rushed out of the city, the officials and soldiers could take advantage of the fog to kill in, and he could naturally escape through the fog.
But Fan Long ran here only to find that in the vast mist, there was already a small group of officers and soldiers soaked in dew, forming a strange formation and blocking the city gate!
