For the Qin soldiers, they had fought many siege battles, but this was the first time to siege the city. If the rebels had firearms such as birds, the battle would have been much harder. But fortunately, the equipment of the native soldiers was very poor, there were no firearms at all, and the Qin soldiers were stained with a dense fog and light, until they attacked the city, they were not discovered by the rebels, and the subsequent battle situation could not be changed.

Of course, in terms of specific tactics, Li Laiheng's arrangement is also remarkable. More than a year ago in Qin Wangzhuang, the Qin soldiers fought a wonderful battle to defend the city, and the opponent was Li Zicheng's thief. In that battle, the Qin soldiers deliberately abandoned the outer city to lure the enemy into the depths, and captured Hao Yongzhong, who was still called "Hao Shaoqi" at that time, in one fell swoop, and completely smashed the poisonous plan of the thieves to drive the people to attack the city.

At the summary meeting after the war, Hao Yongzhong proposed that if the thieves did not advance lightly, but first controlled the city gate and city walls after occupying the outer city, then even if they were defeated and retreated, they would not be captured alive.

This opinion was very important, and everyone quickly reached a consensus: in the future, if there is a siege battle, once the city wall is attacked, there is no need to rush to attack the city, as long as the city gate and the city wall are firmly controlled. The defenders' greatest reliance is on the city wall, without which it will collapse on its own in a panic. If the attacker is in a hurry, he will be caught up in hard street fighting.

This is exactly how Lee Lai Heng laid it out. After the four battalions attacked the city, they were not in a hurry to enter the city to fight, but firmly held the seventeen city gates, and used simple mandarin duck formations according to local conditions, so that the rebels could not escape from the city gates at all.

And because Chongqing is surrounded by rivers on three sides, Li Laiheng skillfully used this terrain to deliberately let the rebels climb over the city wall, and then put arrows on the city wall. This is equivalent to the attack and defense of the two sides dropped, and the rebels had no way to escape, either being shot or drowned in the river.

In the final inventory of the battlefield, out of 10,000 rebels, more than 3,000 were killed in the battle and more than 1,000 were captured. The rest jumped into the river, and the casualties could not be counted, but not one out of ten miles might survive.

The only thing that made Li Laiheng feel a little regretful was that Fan Long, the chief general of the rebels, was not caught. According to his original idea, he had to cross the river quickly to catch up with the rebels. However, Fu Zonglong suggested that the native soldiers are the best at climbing mountains and mountains, and once they get into the mountains, it is difficult to touch. Li Laiheng also knew that after the continuous rapid march of the Qin soldiers and a big battle, it was already the end of the crossbow, so he had to give up.

The attrition of the Qin soldiers in this battle was also very serious. Although there were not too many soldiers killed in the battle, only twenty or thirty, and no more than a hundred were wounded, due to extreme fatigue, they suffered from cold again in the lurking last night, and generally showed symptoms of cold and fever. There were nearly 5,000 people in the whole army, at least one-third of them were sick, and even Hei Yougong, who was usually like an iron fight, had a high fever, so Li Laiheng had to change his strategy and stick to Chongqing first.

The next step is to clean up the aftermath. First of all, Li Laiheng sent his battalions to guard the city walls, especially the seventeen gates, in case the rebels counterattacked.

Second, he sent reconnaissance platoons of various battalions across the Jialing River and the Yangtze River, and set up a number of sentry posts within ten miles of Chongqing. Because the fog in Chongqing was too big, the rebels suffered this loss, and Li Laiheng certainly would not make the same mistake. As long as the enemy soldiers attack, after the reconnaissance platoon finds out, they can immediately raise fire as a signal, and the Qin soldiers will be prepared.

Third, collect the corpses of the fallen soldiers on both sides. For the fallen soldiers of the Qin soldiers, of course, they should be properly stored in coffins, and after the war situation is calmed, they should be transported back to their hometown for a grand burial.

As for the corpses of the rebels, because the Qin soldiers never used the head to count their combat exploits, the existence of these corpses is really a big trouble. If you dig a pit and bury it, it will be time-consuming and laborious, and it is easy to spread the plague if you keep it. Li Laiheng was also happy, and asked the Qin soldiers to pile these corpses together, and the fire burned to the ground, and the people of Chongqing all applauded when they saw it.

Fourth, it is to deal with internal affairs. After the Qin soldiers entered the city, they first went out to settle the people, and let the people do their jobs. Then, under the denunciation of the people, a group of people who defected to the rebels were arrested, including many former officials of Chongqing Prefecture, and even a Zhengliupin general judgment. Li Laiheng imprisoned these people in prison along with the captured rebels, and then dealt with them after asking for a decree.

At the same time, Li Laiheng also asked Fu Zonglong to count the treasury on his behalf. Because the raid of the Qin soldiers was very successful, the rebels did not have time to transfer any supplies, the grain and grass were piled up, and there were still more than 500,000 taels of silver looted in the silver treasury in the past two months, and Fu Zonglong temporarily sealed them all according to the regulations. Of course, food can't be saved, in addition to the fact that the Qin soldiers no longer have to worry about food, they also gave some relief to the poor people in the city.

Fifth, get in touch with Li Dingguo's ministry as soon as possible, and use the flying pigeon to send the news of the recovery of Chongqing back to Beijing immediately.

Three days later, Li Dingguo's brigade also arrived in Chongqing. They had to wait for the slender man to pull the horses across the Three Gorges, and they were delayed for several days. Because of the turbulence of the river, several boats were capsized, and nearly a hundred war horses were lost. Of course, after arriving in Fengjie, the journey was relatively smooth, and the cavalry had horses like fish in water, and soon arrived in Chongqing.

The two generals joined forces together, plus Chen Tiangong and Fu Zonglong, to discuss how to move next. Chen Tiangong first said: "The Holy Lord hopes that the two generals can fight quickly, and now the army has recovered Chongqing in only a month from Beijing, and this speed is already very fast." Now the soldiers are too tired, and they have to rest in Chongqing for a few days anyway, and I hope that the two generals will seriously consider it. ”

Fu Zonglong also said: "Although Chongqing has been recovered, there may still be rebels entrenched in the nearby counties, and the students think that they should first eliminate these close enemies, and then try to forge ahead." ”

Li Dingguo nodded and said, "What the two adults said is very reasonable. Now that we have succeeded in the first step, occupying Chongqing, we will cut off Yongning and the Shuixi rebels, so that they cannot take care of each other. I expect that after receiving the news, Yu Chongming, who was besieging Chengdu, would definitely have no intention of attacking Chengdu again, and was eager to flee back to Yongning and support each other with the Shuixi rebels. Our army can just wait for work, and after resting for a few days, find a place where luxury Chongming must pass and set up an ambush and beat him hard. ”

Li Laiheng also agreed with the proposal of several people, but proposed to send a small reconnaissance force to first go to Chengdu, Yongning, and Shuixi to investigate the enemy's movements.

The four of them jointly played, and after converting the battle situation and action plan into a password, they once again used the flying pigeon to send a message to the Beijing Division.

Two days later, two of the three pigeons flew to Beijing. After the red lady who had changed her name to Li Sihong received the translation, she was sent to the cabinet in the palace overnight; The cabinet did not dare to slack off, and immediately went to the Palace of Cultivating the Heart to present it to the royal court.

Zhu Youzhen was overjoyed after watching the rush play, but he pondered for a moment and muttered, "It's time!" ”
