Ming Zuo

Chapter 1530
"Bang bang bang... open the door... open the door..."

Chengdu, where Zhan Yun came, was already not peaceful, and the rampant behavior of the Daxi Army made the citizens even worse.

The people opened the door in fear, and before they could understand, they were rushed in by the soldiers of the Great Western Army.

"Follow the order, and each household will give out one tael of silver and one bucket of grain to assist the army to wipe out the traitors in Shandong."

"Master Jun, please spare me. Where do the little people have any money? The grain tank at home has long been empty, and the children are about to starve to death."

"What are you talking about? Hurry up and pay for food. Otherwise, I will take you to eat."

Chengdu is rich and prosperous, so Sun Kewang still wants to struggle despite the menacing attack of the National Defense Forces.

He intends to use the Longquan Mountains to the east of Chengdu to establish a line of defense to resist the attack of the National Defense Forces.

All the necessary military funds were apportioned by him to innocent people.

Over the years, the officials and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty and the rogue bandits have been coming and going, and Sichuan has already been severely damaged.It is not easy for the people here to survive, so where is the money and food left?
As a result, under Sun Kewang's persecution, many people's families were destroyed.

Even the wealthy households in the city are hurt, and they hate Sun Kewang more and more.

The public grievances in the city gradually accumulated to the point that they were about to explode.

Sun Kewang didn't care about these things.

He has led an army of [-] troops to line up in the Longquan Mountains, using the terrain to prepare to build an iron wall, so that the National Defense Forces will be smashed.

"This Sun Kewang has a false name, I really overestimated him."

After inspecting the terrain on the spot, the National Defense Forces didn't pay much attention to Sun Kewang.

"Who says it's not? Although the Longquan Mountains lie on the east side of Chengdu, they are more than [-] miles long from north to south. How can his little team cover everything?"

Meng Xiangang, Chief of Staff of the Tenth Division, offered to propose a strategy.

"Commander-in-chief, I suggest mobilizing special forces to detour from the north and take Chengdu. When the backyard is on fire, let's see if Sun Kewang can sit still?"

Qiao Shuangcheng asked, "How is Chengdu's defense?"

Wei Luan handed him the information.

"The people in the city have been plundered by Sun Kewang, and they have long been like a furnace. As long as our people get in and create a little chaos, it will immediately turn into a prairie fire."

Qiao Shuangcheng immediately judged that this strategy is feasible.

He looked at Yuan Zhongsheng and Luo Zhen.

"How about it? Is it possible for your special forces to complete this task alone?"

Yuan Chongsheng and Luo Zhen are already studying the map.

"It is not difficult to attack a city, but it is not easy to defend it."

They gave precise answers.

The special forces have limited strength. Although each of them is capable of fighting against a hundred, they focus on offense and are not good at defense.

It is easy for them to bypass Sun Kewang's line of defense and take Chengdu, but it is a bit difficult for them to hold on when Sun Kewang returns to the army.

Qiao Shuangcheng reassured them.

"The frontal troops will storm the Longquan Mountains and cling to Sun Kewang. He wants to go back."

Yuan Chongsheng and Luo Zhen were completely relieved.

"Then we promise to complete the task."

Cui Zhanying, the commander of the [-]th Division, reminded: "On the south side, we still have to be on guard against Li Dingguo. Although he is at odds with Sun Kewang, he has a good view of the overall situation. Since he has no intention of submitting so far, we must be careful that he outflanks us."

After a group of generals studied the map, they quickly came up with a decision.

"Then it is enough for the 22nd Security Division to guard Ziyang."

The security divisions of the National Defense Forces can compete with the Qing army, so there is no problem in using them to deal with rogue bandits.

After the battle plan was completed, it was immediately reported to Zuo Rong.

Get a reply soon and approve the implementation.

The Tenth Division quickly deployed, concentrated on a point from the direction of Longquan Town, and launched a fierce attack on Sun Kewang's troops.

Under the fierce artillery fire, Sun Kewang's deployment on the front line was quickly destroyed. The soldiers suffered heavy casualties and had to retreat continuously.

Seeing that the line of defense was shaken, Sun Kewang could only deploy troops from other directions to fill in.

But in this way, the entire line of defense is even more porous.

The special forces easily passed through the mountains west of Zhongjiang.

They were not blocked in any way in the subsequent plains. On the contrary, people and businessmen from all over the country provided help and information one after another.

Let the special forces reach the city of Chengdu quietly and at an extremely fast speed.

The battle in the mountainous area to the east is in full swing, but it is as usual in Chengdu City.

The soldiers guarding the city gate were left unattended, and all of them were very lazy.

Three or five of them got together and hid in a leeward corner, either sleeping soundly, or drinking and eating meat.

No one noticed that the special forces climbed up the city wall like ghosts.

Until these defenders were all dealt with, the city remained silent.

The city gate opened, and Yuan Chongsheng and Luo Zhen rushed in as easily as tourists.

Sun Kewang never imagined that Chengdu, which he regarded as his hometown, would be lost so easily.

At the same time, in the mountainous area south of Ziyang, a Daxi army is quietly marching.

Sure enough, Li Dingguo chose the overall situation as the top priority and sent troops to reinforce Sun Kewang, just as the National Defense Forces had guessed.

He didn't rush to join Sun Kewang, but planned to play a trick to surround Wei and save Zhao.

Ai Nengqi was sent by him as a vanguard, leading two thousand soldiers and horses to open the way for the whole army and spy on the enemy's situation.

Ainengqi scattered his soldiers and horses around again, looking for a passable path.

But in this way, his side was extremely weak.

In the lush mountains, some people are sneaking in ambush.Seeing Ainengqi leading dozens of soldiers walking towards the feet, they were all commotions.

"Brother Zheng, can you really get in touch with the National Defense Force?"

A businessman in the middle is quite complacent.

"Didn't I just say that, back then, I used to chat and laugh with His Royal Highness Qi Wang in Wuhu. I have a part in Qi Wang's business. After completing this vote, we will be the heroes of the empire, and we will enjoy endless glory and wealth in the future."

This businessman was Zheng Sangui who represented the king of Shu at the beginning.

That time I ran into Zuo Hua in Wuhu, and the two sides established a relationship.

Zheng Sangui had seen the status of businessmen in the empire, and he was very keen, and he willingly acted as the eyeliner of the empire in Sichuan.

And relying on this relationship, Zheng Sangui's business grew bigger and bigger, and he gradually became the number one figure in Sichuan, and even the King of Shu relied heavily on him.

Later, when Zhang Xianzhong invaded Sichuan, the whole family of the king of Shu was killed, but Zheng Sangui saved his life by relying on the reminder of the Imperial Intelligence Department.

Since then he has been lurking, waiting for the arrival of the empire.

This time, when he discovered that Li Dingguo was sending troops, Zheng Sangui contacted the local snakes near him, intending to make trouble for Li Dingguo and delay his march.

Seeing the group of Daxi troops getting closer and closer, one of them had a bright armor, Zheng Sangui didn't know that this person was the famous Ai Nengqi.

He hurriedly called to a dozen archers to sneak out from the dense forest, all aiming at Ai Nengqi.

The rain of arrows came out of nowhere, and the distance was so close. As brave as Ainengqi, he didn't react at all, and was shot like a hedgehog on the spot.

(Not today!)
　Thanks to Wei Ai Qing Er, Jian Jian Nan, and Mrs Xing for their rewards!
