Chapter 180: It's time to pretend
After capturing Chungju, Yang Feng immediately went straight to Dianjiang. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
As for Chungju, he didn't care.
He disarmed Feng Shuangli's subordinates, and then left Grandma Qin's grandson Ma Wanchun, and a thousand white pole soldiers to guard, the rest is up to them, if Feng Shuangli and they dare to rebel, then these will be a dead end in the future, if they are always honest, then they will be pardoned in the future. In fact, the population of Sichuan is estimated to be less than 10 million at this time, and many people in Zhang Xianzhong's department have married wives and children.
Anyway, the emperor and Grandma Qin took two brigades of the Dangkou army, 10,000 white pole soldiers, 10,000 logistics and transportation guards, and 5,000 porters and pack horses temporarily hired in Chungju, and went west directly into the vast mountains, along the narrow and rugged mountain road from Chungju to Dianjiang, trekking through mountains and rivers, crossing a series of passes such as Meizi Pass, Yangliu Pass, Jinhua Mountain, etc., and finally arrived at Dianjiang, and then Grandma Qin appeared on horseback, and the people of Dianjiang did not hesitate to open the city gate to welcome the holy driver.
Immediately afterwards, Yang Feng's team added more than 5,000 militiamen who volunteered to accompany him.
This increasingly large army continued to go west to the famous ancient road of sealing the door, passing through the closed gate pass without a single soldier to defend, and then drove unimpeded into the adjacent water, and the scale of the adjacent water continued to swell, and then went west and then took the adjacent Guangyi Road over the steep Huaying Mountain, and then there was no real danger, Guang'an, Nanchong, and Santai are really good roads. When this army arrived at Santai, it had swelled to 80,000, and the common people could be said to win the grain Jingcong, although Zhang Xianzhong's governance was quite good, especially for the gentry, and the common people also got some benefits more or less, but in order to maintain a huge army, the tax was also very ruthless, and the emperor directly divided the land into half of the land rent and taxes, and of course the people welcomed it.
And to the rest of the road to Santai is simpler, if from Zhongzhou to Guang'an belongs to the county-level highway, Guang'an to Santai is a national highway, then Santai to Chengdu is a highway, and finally Yang Feng led his legging infantry and the mountain infantry of the white pole soldiers, driving nearly a thousand miles through the entire Sichuan Basin in 20 days, reaching the Zhongjiang River on the periphery of Chengdu.
Of course, he was also under siege.
Just when he conquered or received Zhongjiang, Li Dingguo, who was about to collapse by him, also personally led a large army from Chongqing along the Jialing River to the north and quickly recovered or took over Santai, and at the same time, Liu Wenxiu's other western army also arrived at Huaikou and surrounded him one after the other.
It can be said that Yang Feng has a strong city in front of him and has no way to retreat at this time, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is embattled.
Of course, Zhang Xianzhong is also embattled.
Because on the same day that Yang Feng conquered Zhongjiang, his godson Zheng Chenggong led the main force of the Dangkou army to use 50,000 mortar shells, even including the thirty-six fifty-pound mortar cannons cast for blasting open Kuimen in the later period, and bombarded Qutang Pass and Baidi City into scum, and then the army crossed Kuimen, and Sun Kewang, who knew that the general trend had gone, fled to Wanzhou in a hurry, but he didn't have much to do, because there were less than 10,000 people who fled to Wanzhou with him, and the rest of the 100,000 Western Army surrendered.
In short, the gate of Sichuan has been officially opened, and the rest is a matter of time, no matter what the result of Yang Feng is, the entire three towns of the Dangkou army will flood Sichuan.
And Yang Feng ......
"Where did Chongzhen go again?"
Zhongjiang Chengdong Li Dingguo frowned and looked ahead in confusion.
He was the general of Chongqing, because after Yang Feng left, Ma Wanchun, who was left, quickly organized the young men of Chungju, established a militia with the weapons of the Western army that surrendered, and completely blocked the traffic of Chungju upstream, in fact, on the third day after Yang Feng left Chungju, Li Dingguo got the news of the fall of Chungju in Chongqing. But he checked and delayed for another day, and it was confirmed that it was already the fourth day, but after he was confirmed, he didn't know that Yang Feng was crazy enough to attack Chengdu, he thought that Yang Feng was to attack Wanzhou from behind and completely cut off Sun Kewang's retreat, or maybe it was even more crazy, and he ran directly to attack Chongqing, which he was stationed in, as a rear base.
In the final analysis, as a steady and rational general, it is difficult for him to resonate with Yang Feng's crazy mind.
When the officials of the Western Army in Guang'an escaped from the city and arrived in Chongqing, he realized that the invincible emperor who had been invincible for three years was still a madman, a guy with a different brain circuit, and a guy who had detached himself from normal people. But at this time, he could only follow Yang Feng's rhythm, after all, Chengdu's defense was the same, Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu of Luzhou had to lead 50,000 troops each, respectively, along the Jialing River and Tuojiang River to the north, one blocked the front and the other, and finally rushed before the Ming army arrived in Chengdu, surrounded the enemy who was deep in this lone army.
However......
Li Dingguo still didn't see Yang Feng.
In front of him was only the old lady Qin with a prancing horse and a spear.
But his opponent was not the white pole soldiers, the latter were all in Zhongjiang City, and Liu Wenxiu's army was attacking Zhongjiang, and it was ...... who met him here
The Bandits.
"The whole army is attacking, in one go!"
Li Dingguo took a deep breath and said.
5,000 cavalry and 45,000 elite infantry of the Western Army launched an attack on the two infantry brigades of the Dangkou Army.
And Qin Liangyu, who was opposite them, immediately retreated, and then the formation of the Ming army with his back against the city wall was divided to both sides, allowing the old woman to retreat behind them, and Zhu Yiwu, the chief of staff of the Dangkou Army in charge, smiled at her, and then pulled out his saber and pointed at the charging Western Army.
"Fire!"
He yelled.
On the artillery position beside him, thirty-six mortars roared at the same time, followed by a burst of shells in the Western Army.
Although because of the road problems, the artillery of the Ming army can not be carried, but these are actually disassembled with those mortar cannons that can be transported by Yunnan horses are different, they can be carried anywhere, and even when necessary, they can be carried away, the only regret is that the shells are limited, so it is impossible to bring a whole artillery brigade over, but two artillery battalions are enough, two rounds per minute of full-speed fire mortar and flowering shells, immediately gave the Western Army a stick, constantly exploding flames and scattered shrapnel, Leave the cavalry, which is mainly bombarded, in disarray.
However, the infantry in those formations were still attacking firmly, and soon entered the range of the Ming army's swinging guns, and then on the line of the Ming army opposite them, countless flames erupted out, and in the smoke of gunpowder, dense bullets whistled, and the Great Western Army, which encountered this terrible enemy for the first time, fell in pieces like cut down wheat, and the next moment the grenades rained down, but in the roar of Li Dingguo, they were still heroically attacking forward.
Since the establishment of the Dangkou Army, the most brutal bloody battle has begun.
At this time, Chengdu Zhonghe Gate is outside.
At the southern end of the arch bridge across the Jinjiang River, Qian Si, a soldier guarding the bridge, carried a spear, lazily looked at the pedestrians who kept walking, and guarded a large bamboo basket at his feet.
That's his job.
"Little sister, let my brother touch his hand and you don't have to hand it over."
He said suddenly, confused.
“***”
The girl who was looking for the copper plate scolded him viciously, and then turned out a copper plate and threw it into the basket with some reluctance, Qian Si was not angry, but looked at her little chest greedily, the latter glared at him with a red face, and then walked towards the bridge, but at this moment, a van carriage drove behind her, she quickly hid aside, and the coachman in the carriage threw a handful of copper plates very casually and was about to go to the bridge.
"Stop!"
Qian Si shouted.
"This official, the villain miscalculated!"
The coachman said with a smile.
Then he took out a little bit of silver and threw it into the basket, and after saying that, he drove the carriage on his way to the bridge.
"Check!"
Qian Siyi grabbed him and shouted.
At the same time, his eyes looked at the road behind him, where two obvious ruts stretched continuously, and it was clear that the contents of the carriage were very heavy.
"Look, sir!"
The coachman took out another piece of silver, and put it into his hand, saying.
Qian Si weighed it, glanced at him with satisfaction, and then turned around, but at the moment when the coachman breathed a sigh of relief, he suddenly turned around violently, opened the curtain in front of the carriage at once, and then was stunned for an instant, and the next moment the carriage of the carriage suddenly turned into countless fragments and splashed, almost at the same time a dark and dull shadow swept across with a terrifying roar, Qian Si's body suddenly turned into fragmented flesh and blood splashed away, and a red figure jumped out of the fragments of the carriage and landed heavily on the bridge.
The coachman jumped into the Jinjiang River as fast as he could.
The girl looked petrified at the strong red man who suddenly appeared at the bridge, he was wearing a red robe embroidered with dragons, but the reflection of steel was exposed inside, and even the boots under his feet were completely composed of pieces of steel. He wears a silver helmet on his head, the bottom of which is also covered by steel to protect his neck, and at the front of the helmet is a transparent mask, which covers his face inside. The man's right hand dragged a huge battle axe, the face of the axe was so scarred that it didn't even have a blade, and the handle of the axe, which was almost as thick as his own arm, was more than half a foot, and the handle also had countless scars.
And the man's left hand is a shield.
The shield was not very large, and it was placed on the left arm.
At this time, he stood at the head of the bridge, like a statue of a god of steel, motionless looking at the neutralization gate less than a hundred feet away.
Suddenly, he turned his head.
"You're beautiful!"
He said to the girl.
“***”
The girl scolded him with a red face, but there was a burst of joy in her heart.
The man laughed.
"It's time to pretend!"
Then he let out a loud roar, then dragged the huge battle axe and began to run towards the neutralization gate.
