Chapter 487: Chengdu Lost
Seeing that the 1,000 Jingzhou army in the camp began to assemble rapidly, the 5,000 rebels should immediately rush over, scatter the Jingzhou army with superior forces, and then leave the scattered Jingzhou army that was rushed, and kill at full speed in the direction of the north gate of Chengdu.
Their task was to cooperate with the rebels outside the city to break through the north gate, so they didn't want to entangle too much with the Jingzhou army in the camp.
Although the Jingzhou army was stronger, its forces were completely weak and had been dispersed, so it was unable to prevent the rebels from attacking the north gate.
While gathering the scattered troops, the generals of the Jingzhou Army sent their subordinates to the big tent of the Chinese army at the south gate to inform Zhou Fu of what had happened in the camp.
There was such a big movement in the direction of the military camp in the city, which had already alarmed Zhou Fu in the big tent at the south gate, Zhou Fu woke up from his sleep, and hurriedly asked what was going on, and his subordinates hurriedly sent people to investigate, and happened to meet the soldiers who came to report, only to learn that the five thousand recruits in the camp had all rebelled and were killing in the direction of the north gate where the defense was weak.
Hearing that the recruits rebelled, Zhou Fu woke up like a dream, thinking that when he first recruited soldiers, no one cared about them in the morning, but in the afternoon he recruited 5,000 people at once, at that time, he thought that the people of Shuzhong were greedy for a small bargain, and they were so active in the case of an increase in military salaries, and now it seems that all the recruits who were recruited were the internal response of the rebels.
He was careless and let the rebels take advantage of the loophole, Zhou Fu felt angry, and his breath became short.
"General Yang, immediately mobilize 3,000 soldiers and horses to kill the north gate, you must exterminate this group of rebels, you must be fast." Zhou Fu looked at the general Yang Qian. Commanded loudly.
"The last will obey." Yang Qian clenched his fists and turned around to leave.
......At this moment, the main force of the rebels outside the south gate suddenly launched an attack, obviously they heard the movement in the city, so they immediately launched an attack on the south gate of Chengdu to respond to the direction of the north gate.
Not long after, the rebels in the direction of the West Gate also launched an attack to increase their momentum and terrify the Jin troops in the city.
"My lord, the rebels are coming. In the opinion of the last general. Chengdu is afraid that it will not be able to hold it, and in order to maintain its strength, our army should immediately retreat. Yang Qian looked at Zhou Fu and said loudly.
Zhou Fu sighed. frowned and said: "The rebels have been attacking the city for less than a day. We lost Chengdu. How does this make this official explain to the court! After saying that, he closed his eyes.
Just when Zhou Fu sighed for a long time, the 5,000 rebels should have rushed to the north gate of Chengdu, and Deng Ding, who was outside the city, led 5,000 elite soldiers to approach the north gate of Chengdu with great fanfare.
The 500 Jingzhou soldiers responsible for guarding the north gate. Seeing the sudden appearance of Deng Ding's army outside the city, they were all taken aback, and immediately prepared for battle. When the leader saw the arrival of 5,000 recruits, he thought that he was reinforcing his own men, so he did not take any precautions.
"Killing ......" Just when the 500 Jingzhou soldiers bent their bows and arrows and wholeheartedly resisted Deng Ding's 5,000 elites, the 5,000 rebels suddenly killed from behind.
The five hundred Jingzhou troops were caught off guard, and they were defeated in an instant, and fled in all directions, the rebels should open the city gate, and Deng Ding led five thousand elite men and horses to rush into Chengdu at the fastest speed, and immediately killed in the direction of the south gate.
"My lord, we can't hesitate any longer, we should retreat immediately, otherwise, it will be too late." Yang Qian clenched his fists and said eagerly.
Zhou Fu paced in the big tent, he was still a little hesitant, after all, as the history of Yizhou Thorn, it was his responsibility to keep Chengdu, just lose Chengdu like this, he was a little unwilling, at least in front of his subordinates to make a gesture of reluctance to give up Chengdu, in order to maintain his tall image of a state thorn history.
Soon, there was a louder shout of killing in the city, and Zhou Fu's heart was shocked, and he had an ominous premonition that the rebels had invaded Chengdu from other directions.
"My lord, it's not good, the north gate has been lost, and the five thousand elite rebels have entered the city and are pressing here." A soldier from the direction of the North Gate rode a horse to report the loss of the North Gate and the news that the rebels had poured into Chengdu.
Hearing the news of the loss of the North Gate, Zhou Fu was not too surprised, as if this was already in his expectation.
"My lord, the north gate has been lost, there are a large number of rebels at the south gate and the west gate, and the only way for our army to retreat is in the direction of the east gate, retreat quickly! My lord. Yang Qian said loudly and glanced at the two soldiers beside him.
The two pro-soldiers understood, set up Zhou Fu, helped him to the horse, and then led the horse to the east gate.
Zhou Fu didn't intend to kill himself, so he didn't make much of a struggle, but rode smoothly on horseback and ran towards the east gate.
Yang Qian stepped on his war horse and shouted, "Soldiers, retreat, retreat in the direction of the east gate." With that, he rode his horse and ran towards the east gate.
Under Yang Qian's order, the main force of the Jingzhou army defending the city all withdrew from the city wall and ran to the east gate.
With the withdrawal of the main force of the Jingzhou army, the rebels poured into Chengdu like a tide, and fought with the Jingzhou army that had not had time to withdraw.
The rebels had a large number of troops and were well prepared, but the Jingzhou army was lacking in troops, and the battle in the city did not last too long, except for the main force of the Jingzhou army that fled from the east gate, the remaining Jingzhou soldiers and horses were all annihilated by the rebels, so far, Chengdu was completely controlled by the rebels.
After the rebels took control of Chengdu, Deng Ding, Kui Wen, and Wang Run immediately went to Wang Wei's mansion to discuss his next move.
After some careful deliberation, the four decided that Wang Run would lead an army of 10,000 to stay in Chengdu, while Deng Ding and Kui Wen would lead a main force of 30,000 to pursue the Jingzhou army under Zhou Fu all the way, and take Jiangyang, Ba County and Fuling and other counties in the east of Yizhou in one fell swoop, so that they could form a line with the key position, Hanjia and Wenshan in the west, control the entire Yizhou, and then form an alliance with Zhao and fight against the Great Jin Dynasty.
Deng Ding and Kui Wen led an army of 30,000 and left Chengdu to march eastward, while Wang Run gathered the old army of Neiying and Shuzhong in Chengdu, expanding the army of 10,000 under his command to 20,000, so that it was easier to deal with the threat in the direction of Liangzhou and keep Chengdu.
As soon as the situation in Chengdu stabilized, Wang Wei and Wang Run led the soldiers to surround Fan Ben's mansion, and sent the dragon robe that had already been customized, forcing Fan Ben to become emperor by force.
Of course, Fan Ben was unwilling to be this puppet emperor, but he did not have the ability to resist the demands of Wang Wei and others, so he had to put on a dragon robe and officially proclaim himself emperor in the former Li Shi Palace in Chengdu.

In the direction of Fucheng, the army of Hua'an is still stepping up training, especially the newly recruited soldiers, who are stepping up their training.
Hua'an would inspect the barracks from time to time every day, but more time spent in the Chinese army's tent, analyzing the latest news from Yizhou with Zhang Yu and Xie Siming.
At this time, the latest news that Hua'an learned was that the rebel three-way army had approached the outskirts of Chengdu and was ready to attack the city at any time.
After studying with Zhang Yu and Xie Siming for a period of time, Hua'an felt that with the strength of the army under Zhou Fu, it was no problem to hold on for a long enough period of time, and even felt that the rebels were simply not capable of breaking through a fortified city like Chengdu.
But Hua'an will be particularly worried from time to time, because, after all, Yizhou is the territory of the rebels, Zhou Fu and the Jingzhou army have not been stationed in Yizhou for a long time, and the people's hearts have not yet been recovered.
Regardless of whether he can supervise the military of Yizhou in the end, Hua'an has already made up his mind that as long as the direction of Chengdu is tight, he will lead the main army to aid Chengdu, and he must not sit idly by and watch Chengdu be captured by the rebels, because, once Chengdu is captured by the rebels, if you want to recapture it, the price you will pay will be great.
Hua'an's original plan was to let the city wall of Chengdu consume the rebels for half a month, and when the rebels were sleepy and lacking in strength, he led the main army and suddenly killed from the direction of Liangzhou, so as to easily eliminate the rebels and rescue the besieged Jingzhou army.
The advantage of this plan is that it can appear when friendly forces need it most, so it can have the effect of helping charcoal in the snow, and it can also greatly reduce the casualties of your own soldiers, so why not?
"General, general, Chengdu urgent, Chengdu urgent." Just when Hua'an was proud of his plan, a junior colonel rushed in.
As soon as he heard the voice of the little school, Hua An's heart felt a little hairy, and an ominous premonition shrouded Hua An's heart.
"Don't be in a hurry, say slowly, what's going on in the direction of Chengdu." Hua An asked.
"General, according to the scout's report, last night, the rebels should join forces inside and outside, and they have already broken through Chengdu, and Zhou Tingshi led some soldiers to flee from Chengdu from the east gate and are retreating in the direction of Jingzhou." The school replied truthfully.
When Hua An heard this, he was greatly surprised, it had only been a day since the rebels arrived in Chengdu, and in such a short period of time, Chengdu was actually breached.
"Chengdu is lost, is the news reliable?" Huaan confirmed loudly.
The little colonel clenched his fists and said: "General, the multi-way scouts are all rewarded like this, it seems that it will not be wrong." ”
"It's only been one day, Chengdu has actually been lost, it seems that the rebels are prepared!" Hua An raised his head and sighed.
Zhang Yu and Xie Siming, who had been in the big tent, were also stunned when they heard the news, the two of them made a detailed analysis of the situation in Yizhou, but they never thought that Chengdu would be broken by the rebels overnight, which is a bit too incredible.
"Report, General, Chengdu Urgent." Just when Hua An and the others were surprised, another colonel rushed into the Chinese army's tent.
Hua An'an was shocked again, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with the direction of Chengdu?" ”
"General, according to the scout's report, the old ministers of Shuzhong, Wang Oath, Wang Run and others, jointly elected Fan Ben as the emperor, and now, Fan Ben has officially been called the emperor, and intends to fight against my Great Jin." The school replied truthfully. (To be continued......)
