Autumn of the 17th year of Chongzhen

Chapter 1012

Ma Jinzhong and Li Dingguo led the generals around the city to spy on the city defenses of Chengdu. They drove around Chengdu for a long time before stopping on a high slope not far from the city.

In the history of China, there are not many cities that can be the capital city. Although Chengdu is not suitable to be the capital of a unified dynasty, it has become the capital of the Southwest separatist regime several times in history.

The essence of Sichuan is in the Chengdu Plain, and Chengdu is located here to control the entire central Sichuan.

After the Kingdom of Jin occupied this place, it focused on restoring the city. Not only did the population in the city return to more than 5 households, but the city walls were also reinforced.

Ma Jinzhong looked at it, and said, "This Chengdu city has complete defense facilities, and the city wall is more than three feet high. It can stand shoulder to shoulder with Wuchang, and it's not easy to fight!"

"Jin Guo has been operating here for several years. Chengdu's defense is really good. It is the largest city in Sichuan, but because it is big, we can attack it better!" It is already clear that there are only ten thousand old and weak in Chen Ke's hands, and the city wall is not enough to stand up, let's see how he defends!"

Hearing the words, Ma Jinzhong asked his guards for a binoculars, and then looked towards Chengdu, only to see that the entire city wall was full of soldiers. He was not surprised, but he was a little puzzled, but when he looked carefully, except for the soldiers in the front row, Behind are all young and strong in the city.

Seeing Ma Jinzhong put down the binoculars, Li Dingguo smiled and said: "The young and strong in the city are probably dragged to the top of the city by Nasi Chen Ke, but in my opinion, they are just inserting bids to sell their heads."

Ma Jinzhong also relaxed at this time, he picked up the binoculars and looked at it for a while, "Pay attention to the four gates tonight, don't let Chen Ke escape, tomorrow morning, the army will attack the city, and it must be broken in one day!"

As he spoke, he glanced at Li Dingguo, "I know that Chen Ke has a special meaning to the brothers in Zhongyi Town. Let Dingguo command the siege tomorrow!"

He Tengjiao had a thick skin, but Ma Jinzhong felt a little sorry, so he reciprocated and let Li Dingguo take command.

Li Dingguo had nothing to say, he immediately cupped his fists and shouted together with several generals: "Follow orders!"

Ma Jinzhong led 5000 people to the city. The Ming army was strong enough to guard the four gates. Li Dingguo did not have to fight with Chen Kena. Already frightened one after another, both trembling.It was night, Chen Ke tried to break through again, but failed again.

In the early morning of the next day, after the Ming army had had breakfast, Li Dingguo commanded the troops to attack the city. The Ming army was not large, but spread out to the bottom of the city. With a swing up, the momentum is surging towards the top of the city.

At this time the sun had come out, Li Dingguo looked at the top of the city, and saw that the Ming army had completed its array, and then ordered his generals to say: "Remember, the Jin army only has more than ten thousand, but the city of Chengdu is more than ten miles away. I will arrange troops to pretend to attack other cities." On three sides, there will not be many troops defending the front. You wait for my order, rush over there immediately, and take Chengdu in one go!"

The generals clasped their fists in response, Li Dingguo added, "Today we must break the city and arrest all the traitors in the city."

After he finished speaking, he waved his hand, and many generals got on their horses, left the central army and returned to the main formation.

At this time, when the Chinese military command flag was raised, several artillery pieces began to bang and pour firepower towards the top of the city. The cannons made a deafening sound, and dozens of shells whizzed out, hitting the top of the city, and the bricks and stones shattered.

"Dong dong dong" the war drums beating, holding all kinds of siege equipment, looking at the soldiers of the Ming army at the top of the city with disdain, seeing the generals stationed in front of the formation wave their swords, the howls of the soldiers immediately rose to the sky It rises and shakes the earth.

The Ming army phalanx outside the city rushed towards Chengdu like a huge wave rolling on the sea.The flying bridge troops at the front, carrying trench bridges and wooden boards, rushed forward at high speed. Behind, the soldiers holding the ladders pushed the equipment and shouted loudly. The towering siege towers, like huge beasts, were pushed by them Then slowly arrived in Chengdu.

Wu Sangui did not intend to guard Sichuan, and the officials of the Kingdom of Jin who stayed in Sichuan naturally did not have the intention of guarding Sichuan. Although Chengdu has a well-defended city, it lacks equipment.

After Li Dingguo's soldiers approached the city, Chen Ke wanted to break through the siege, and he didn't want to defend Chengdu. The Jin army didn't make much preparation at all. Facing the surging Ming army, they immediately felt an invisible pressure on the defenders.

In fact, not all of the [-] soldiers in Chengdu were old and weak. Among them, the thousand or so surrendered soldiers from the Ming Dynasty still had strong combat power, but when these surrendered soldiers faced the attacking old masters, they felt guilty and lost their minds. , there is no more than one combat power.

Facing the elite troops who had just destroyed Sun Kewang and severely injured the Emperor of Jin, the old and weak soldiers on the top of the wall were filled with fear. Suddenly nodding the arrow to the string, the fear in their hearts made the two of them fight, almost wanting to go first.

A general of the defending army was full of entanglements in his heart. When the Ming army entered the range, he couldn't react.Seeing this, the soldiers next to him became anxious, fighting and not fighting, surrendering and not surrendering, what on earth were they thinking, he hurriedly reminded anxiously, "General, the Ming army is approaching!"

There was no way to turn back after this fight, but the guard who was reminded hurriedly drew out his saber, gritted his teeth and shouted: "Shoot the arrow!"

Arrows were shot down from the top of the city, but no matter how you looked at it, they lacked momentum. Archery was not as good as firing a blunderbuss.

A Ming soldier who was charging forward was hit by an arrow in the chest, his face was pale with fright, thinking that he was going to die, he howled a few times in horror, only to find that the arrow did not penetrate the armor, but was stuck between two armor pieces , His face turned red, he was extremely embarrassed, he quickly looked around and saw that his comrades were charging forward and didn't notice him, so he breathed a sigh of relief, pulled out the arrow, and rushed forward screaming.

Soon the Ming army built a flying bridge over the moat, and the climbing troops entered the city. The ladders were put on the city wall, and the soldiers began to climb up. more sparsely.

Under the fierce attack of the Ming army, the old and weak troops on the city had no intention of resisting, and the young and strong with no combat experience were piled up on the city wall, causing chaos first.When the Ming army boarded the city wall, the defenders began to collapse.Chen Ke didn't defend the city. Seeing that the situation was not good, he led more than 1000 elite soldiers again, preparing to break through from Beicheng. city.
