Chapter 370 A famous general in Shu, a great victory in Chengdu!

Zeng Ying, courtesy name Yanhou, was originally from Putian, Fujian Province. His father went to Chengdu to serve as an official, so he settled down in Chengdu.

He is eight feet tall, has a beautiful beard, sharp eyebrows, and a sturdy build. He looks like he is in his twenties or thirties, but he was actually born in the first year of Tianqi (1621), and he is only twenty-three years old this year.

Speaking of which, he could barely be considered to have come from an official family, but he had been fond of dancing with swords and guns since he was a child. He even learned martial arts from Putian Shaolin monks in his hometown.

He has a bold personality and likes to save people in emergencies. Therefore, although he has the reputation of being a scholar, the number of people he associates with are mostly people in the world, or "heroes" in the green forest.

Of course, he was not born rebellious, and he also had some loyalty to the Ming Dynasty in his heart.

So when Xunfengwei first found him, he originally wanted to capture him directly and hand him over to the Chengdu government for disposal.

But because of his charlatanism, he not only admired the other party's courage to reveal his identity in Chengdu, but he was also curious about the fact that King Xingmei specially sent someone to invite him to join the Wei tribe.

It should be noted that at that time he was just a scholar with average literary talent, and he was not well-known among the young scholars in Chengdu.

As for his reputation in the world, it is limited to Chengdu Prefecture and Sakon.

Therefore, he really didn't know how his name reached the ears of King Xingmei, and he even asked King Xingmei to send someone to Chengdu to invite him to join the Wei tribe.

Naturally, he never imagined that Liu Sheng would learn his name from later generations.

Zeng Ying was indeed unknown at this time, but after Zhang Xianzhong entered Sichuan in the 17th year of Chongzhen, he became famous in eastern Sichuan for repeatedly defeating Zhang Xianzhong's army, and became a famous general in Shu along with Yang Zhan of Jianwei and Cao Xun of Lizhou. , and his reputation is still higher than that of the two.

Unfortunately, in the battle to prevent the Great Western Army from retreating to Chongqing, due to his habit of underestimating the enemy and charging first, he was hit by an arrow in the bow of a ship and fell into the water to his death. He was only 26 years old.

Otherwise, he will probably become a famous general in Sichuan's resistance to the Qing Dynasty in the future.

Xunfengwei was only ordered to invite Zeng Ying. He did not know his later deeds and naturally would not tell him. However, he told Zeng Ying all about the behavior of the Yi army and invited Zeng Ying to go to Huguang to see what happened.

With nothing to do, Zeng Ying actually went to Huguang. He was not led by Xunfengwei, but went alone.

He found that the Tai army was indeed very disciplined and did not commit any crimes against the good people. It even did a lot of good deeds that benefited the people. It was more like a qualified court than the Ming Dynasty.

Zeng Ying was a decisive person. After returning to Chengdu, he immediately contacted Xunfengwei and expressed his willingness to join the Yibu.

In the next few months, he invited like-minded heroes to practice together without telling these people what to do.

When the Wei army came to the city, he told these men that he had joined Da Wei.

Now that the situation in Chengdu is clear, most of them cannot hold it. Even if these men are not loyal, as long as they are not foolish and loyal to the Ming Dynasty, they will naturally cooperate with him.

If the facts turned out to be what he expected, or perhaps it was because the good reputation of Wei Jun had spread in Chengdu in the past few months, these men were willing to follow him and serve as Wei Jun's internal correspondents.

At this time, a group of people appeared on the street aggressively, which immediately attracted the attention of the street patrol officer.

When he first saw Zeng Ying coming out, the yamen servants were supposed to come over to scold, question, and extort benefits.

When they saw big men emerging one after another behind Zeng Ying, all carrying swords and looking menacing, the team of government officials immediately became frightened.

Most people just ran away as quickly as possible.

Those who were a little more responsible just ran and shouted, "There are thieves making trouble! Someone, come quickly!"

"Ignore these government officials and follow me directly to the east gate. The Yi army has also gathered a large number of men and will attack the east gate with us!"

The courtyard where Zeng Ying and others came out was not far from the east gate, and they quickly arrived near the east gate without encountering any obstruction in the middle.

Almost at the same time, another wave of people appeared, more than two hundred people in total, who were the Shengjie guards who had sneaked into the city.

Liu Sheng originally trained the Shengjie Guards for mountain warfare and urban street fighting, and trained the Shengjie Guards in the direction of future generations of special forces.

Although Shengjie Guard belongs to the Guards, he is now based in Nanjing and almost no longer participates in frontline battles. However, he did not let Shengjie Guard stay in Nanjing to garrison. Instead, he sent some to Yang Heqing, Helianyue and other armies to specifically Sneak into the city to act as an internal agent and help the army break through the city.

There were not many Shengjie Guards sneaking into Chengdu this time, only more than 200 people, but they brought a lot of grenades in. It was enough to seize the city gate from the inside.

Liu Zhenfan and other Ming army generals who were responsible for defending the city saw the Wei army charging and prepared to climb the city with flying bridges and ladders. They immediately summoned the rural soldiers, rural braves and civilians who had stayed near the city wall to go up to the city wall to assist in the defense. But there were still a thousand Ming troops left at the east gate.

This thousand Ming army consists of two parts, one is more than 300 battalion soldiers, and the other is 600-700 rural soldiers. With so many people, it stands to reason that it would not be a problem to hold the city gate for a while, and there should be other soldiers and horses arriving soon.

As a result, under the bombardment of Shengjie Guard's grenades, the rural soldiers were the first to flee. When Zeng Ying came in with more than a hundred men, the remaining soldiers could no longer hold on and fled in a hurry.

In this way, Zeng Ying cooperated with Shengjie Wei and easily captured the East City Gate.

"Some insiders have opened the east city gate, and the Yi army has entered the city!"

Because Liao Daheng was afraid of death, although he was pulled by Liu Zhibo to stay on the city wall, he only dared to huddle behind the city gate tower - arrows and bullets could not be hit here, the gate tower would not collapse, and artillery shells could not hit it, probably The safest place in the city.

Suddenly, they heard that the city had been destroyed and the Yi army had entered the city. Liao Daheng and his people were all bewildered.

He hadn't even sent anyone to talk to the Yi army about surrendering, so why was the city of Chengdu destroyed?

How can he sell Chengdu and even Sichuan at a good price?

While Liao Daheng was dumbfounded, Chen Shiqi and Liu Zhibo took the risk to boost morale at the top of the city, and even faced the Yi army who was attacking the city.

"General Liu, go and take back the east city gate quickly, and leave the city head to us!"

Chen Shiqi ordered the soldiers to throw stones and shouted at Liu Zhenfan.

Liu Zhenfan actually felt that the city could no longer be defended, but he still followed the order and quickly descended the city wall with hundreds of servants.

But just after he got off the city wall, he saw a large group of troops running towards the horse road. A few Ming soldiers who risked their lives to intercept them were either killed by the Yi army's cannons, or were hacked to death by knife players in full armor.

While these troops were killing the enemy, they were shouting -

"Those who abandon their weapons and surrender will not be killed!"

Hearing this shout, thinking of the rumors about the Yi army he had heard in the past few months, and looking at the hundreds of extremely nervous servants behind him, Liu Zhenfan suddenly sighed and said, "We can't hold the city of Chengdu anymore. We're already waiting." Try your best, everyone, please surrender."

After saying that, he dropped the weapon in his hand.

···

September 15th.

Nanjing Forbidden City, Tianxin Hall.

Bai Yu, the leader of the telecommunications team, sent another telegram with a smile on his face.

"Your Majesty, Marquis Wuling has sent good news from Chengdu. He said that he conquered Chengdu yesterday and now controls the entire city of Chengdu!"

"He Lianyue is quite fast."

Although Liu Sheng no longer had any special feelings about the news that the Yi army had captured the city, Chengdu was, after all, considered the capital of Sichuan Province and had extraordinary significance. Therefore, Liu Sheng was quite happy to hear that the West Route Army had successfully captured Chengdu.

As he spoke, he took the telegram from the guard and read it.

The telegram sent by Helianyue was quite long. It almost gave a preliminary report on all the relevant matters from the West Route Army's capture of Chengdu to its control.

The first is the situation of the main officials of the Ming Dynasty in Chengdu.

When the city was broken, Academician Chen Shiqi and Patrol Commander Liu Zhibo supervised the battle at the top of the city and even personally fought against the Yi army. Liu Zhibo died in the battle, Chen Shiqi was captured, and Governor Liao Daheng surrendered on the spot.

In addition, Deputy Commander-in-Chief Liu Zhenfan also led his servants to surrender before the battle.

Others, such as Zhang Jimeng, the deputy envoy of the Sichuan Provincial Envoy Department, Liu Shidou, the official of Chengdu Prefecture, Shen Yunzuo, the magistrate of Huayang County, and Wu Jishan, the magistrate of Chengdu, were also captured by the Yi army.
