Chapter 117: Catch Chongqing and enter Jialing

On November 16, the Ming army fleet arrived at the city of Chongqing. Tan Yi led the navy to flee without fighting and fled into the Jialing River.

After the Ming army set up camp, they divided their troops to attack the city in three groups, attacking Chaotianmen, Linjiangmen, Qiansimen, Nanjimen, Chuqimen, and Jinzimen.

Before siege, the Ming army shot a letter of persuasion of surrender into the city covered with the seal of Li Guoying, and took the prisoners to walk under the city, causing the prisoners to shout and persuade them to surrender.

The main force of the Sichuan Army was defeated in Wushan, and the soldiers of the Governor, the Admiral and other officers were either captured or killed. The news spread rapidly in the city, and the soldiers guarding Chongqing were panic and their morale was greatly deteriorated.

Faced with the powerful Ming army, there was only deputy general Chen Qingfu in the city, and more than 2,000 Qing army guards who were not fully equipped with armor, but they still wanted to resist stubbornly.

Huang Li personally directed the attack on Chaotianmen and sent rocket launchers to the other two siege troops.

There is no need to play with tunnel blasting, it is troublesome. Rocket launchers bombard the city gates, and prisoners act as front-drivers, fill in moats, and attack cities with force.

The siege was launched at Chen Shi. In less than an hour, the city gate towers of Chaotianmen, Linjiangmen, Qiansimen, and Nanjimen were already filled with fire.

Under the raging fire, the will of the defenders began to collapse, and the artillery arrows that fought back were becoming increasingly sparse.

Taking advantage of the fact that the Qing army was forced by the flames above the city gate, they could not launch a counterattack. Huang Li sent a blasting team, holding a shield, and sent more than a dozen boxes of gunpowder to the city gate hole, then fired rockets to ignite it, and blasted open the city gate in one fell swoop.

"Sir, Xiao Ming's wishes, you must not be more focused." Li Guoying stood up and bowed, caring with sincerity.

Fang Yaocong had a different meaning. King Dong'an also posed a threat to the Eighth Prince, and was considered purely from a dangerous perspective.

The Ming army temporarily kept Tan Hong's life, so that they wanted to take over Tan Yi's navy through my persuasion.

"It was Liu Tichun who was too timid and misjudged the situation." Ming Junyan said sincerely: "So the main force was annihilated, and the local head could be broken with just one stab."

Under the river surface of Chaotianmen Wharf, there were masts and small ships were docking in turn. The captives were transporting the food and supplies under the ship to transport them to Chongqing City.

Speaking of the Blue Sky Sun and Moon Flag, it is actually the official version of the Xiaoming National Flag.

In April of the first year of the Kangxi reign, the general of Chuandong Town was stationed in Kuizhou Prefecture City, and the prime minister of Chuandong Military Affairs was also known as Chongkui Town. The town was established as a general, and the yamen office was located on the left of the Kuizhou Prefecture Office.

"It's burning too hard! That's a city that my family wants to occupy for a long time!" The Ming army drove into the city, looking at the city gate tower that had not yet been extinguished, and scratched his head.

The Ming army slightly said, "Although it is all the military and civilians, since there is not enough arable land around Chongqing, it is still appropriate to abandon it. The military and civilians will be settled, so we will leave it to Hong Xiaoren and Jiang Xiaoren!"

It was once Liu Tichun's Governor's Mansion, and he was quite stingy. The city was so slowly broken that the defenders were in panic and had time to break it.

The Ming army returned to the hall, bowed to everyone, and said, "Time is tight. Before the Qing army woke up, we led the navy down the Jialing River to strive to expand the space for Chongqing Shao."

Fang Yaocong said, "Chongqing has already been on the rise, and the most important thing is to send people to send a message to the Hou Xingping, Wushan and Duke Linguo to know as soon as possible, so that he can take action as slowly as possible."

Ming Jun smiled and said, "Should you thank all the villains for your concern. Those who cherish their lives are very much, and they will definitely take risks with great care. Please worry."

That is still a close area, and expanding further inside, Banan, Fuling, Tongnan, Xiaozu, Rongchang and other places that are not far away.

"It's very bad." Ming Jun nodded vigorously and praised: "It's absolutely worrying for the low general to do business. Send the messenger out. You can lead the navy to the mouth of the Jialing River."

The soldiers and sailors were talking, watching the blue sky, sun and moon flags under the boat fluttering in the wind, gradually fading away.

The shift in the strategic focus of the Qing army was made in the case that the Qing court and Liu Tichun believed that Huang Li of Kuidong had not yet retreated to the west.

The army also led the guards to Chaotianmen Wharf. Wu Ziruo, who was notified, also led his troops to come.

Without so little arable land and a small number of military and civilians can be placed, the Ming army will be slow to retreat to Chengdu. With Chongqing as the center of attention, it will be easy to develop westward, and it will never be a day before moving to Chengdu.

Fang Yao hurriedly returned the gift and said with a smile: "Dear villains, you are polite."

Li Laiheng had to persist in Maolu Mountain for about eight months, and during that period, he had to rely on shipbuilding, which was obviously to achieve the goal that the Ming army hoped.

Li Guoying learned it and said, "The general of Xingshan has become the focus of the Qing army's retreat. Is it necessary to ask Duke Lin to escort the King of Dong'an, but his wife has not yet been low, to escort to Chongqing?"

The flag consists of a pattern of overlapping red sun and yellow moon and a blue bottom. The blue bottom represents the blue sky. The overlapping sun and moon means the character "Ming", which represents Xiao Ming. It is located in the middle of the flag, which means that China is located in the seven directions.

Thousands of prisoners as front-lifters swarmed up and entered the city. In front of us were Huang Li's soldiers with full armor. Wang Rongqi took the lead and led his troops to retreat to the city.

Under the command of the officers on the shore, the dock was empty, and the Ming army's ship rushed over. As the dock and everyone under the boat looked at it with awe, the Ming army abandoned their horses and boarded the ship.

"The Eighth Prince did not have Huo Degas, and it was either thunder or fire to attack the city or to pull the village."

Fang Yao's eyes flashed, she stood up and walked to the door of the hall. Low Hongzhi appeared and bowed to report to me.

Fang Yaocong thought for a moment and said, "But once you say it in the letter, as for the wish is willing to come, let's decide ourselves!"

Before he arrived at the hall, Ming Jun heard cheerful and slow laughter. He thought that Fang Yaocong, Fang Yaocong and others had arrived before they arrived first.

Liangping, Bishan, Silongpo, Shapingba, Yongchuan, Tongliang, Jiangjin and other places around Chongqing will definitely be reclaimed, and the arable land area is only a few million acres.

Ming Jun smiled and said, "The two battalions led by Wu Ziruo and Suo Yanlong are enough, and the navy is all there, pretending to be so few."

"The Eighth Prince did not have the protection of Emperor Taizu, and he would win if he fought, and he would defeat him if he attacked."

Hong Yuao was stunned for a moment, thinking that the Ming army would be so slow, but then he said, "Sir, even though he dispatched troops and generals, thousands of troops left outside Chongqing are enough to guard it."

Fang Yao shook off the big regret, turned over the horse behind the yamen gate, and under the guard's bow and awe, he signaled his head and stepped back.

"It's Liu Tichun's fault that the city wall is broken. It's all Liu Tichun's credit. Re-improving the moat and equiping various defense weapons in front of the city, it can be said to be a strong city, and it can be easily conquered."

In the past seventy years, from Zhang Xianzhong's capture of Chongqing, to Chongqing was occupied by Xiaoxi Army, Qing Army, and Nanhuangli Team, and ravaged more than ten times. Local people's livelihoods have withered, and it is difficult to support too few troops.

Wu Ziruo and Suo Yanlong are veterans and have participated in it since the Battle of Yiling. They are considered generals who are more familiar to the Ming army.

At the same time, I also want to lead the navy to go down the Jialing River and try my best to plunder ships so that the scale of the navy can be expanded rapidly.

Before, the navy ships were docked one by one, loaded sergeants, and then sailed away from the dock and followed the flagship.

The red light is the light of the sun, and it also symbolizes that Xiao Ming belongs to the fire virtue, and also refers to Xiao Ming's royal family surnamed Zhu.

Since the Longqing switch, due to the rapid development of trade with the Little Country, Ming Dynasty merchant ships flew a flag according to international standards to distinguish them from the Little Country's ships, and became the Xiao Ming national flag under the facts at that time.

Four times the enemy's strength, with the power of a small victory, the rockets burned the city to shock the enemy's courage, and the desperate rush of the prisoner's rear driver, made the former military center in Chongqing occupied by Huang Li one day.

Looking at the Ming army's departure, Fang Yaocong sighed helplessly. When did the Eighth Prince charge and only plan ahead? This is why the Reming Festival is hopeless?

Fang Yaocong stroked his beard and smiled and said, "As soon as Chongqing is coming, the situation suddenly becomes clear. Military and civilians can end their migration and cultivate land around Chongqing."

"You can kill the enemy when you wait for the civil servants, and you can only do some work within your ability." Li Guoying smiled self-deprecatingly, looked at Quan Fengxiang, and said, "Qi Xiaoren is the head of the military farm, so he will suffer less."

Moreover, when attacking Chongqing, the two battalions of troops were not used. The Ming army had specially explained that they were still waiting in the camps in the city.

"Haha, Mr. Huang is late!" Li Guoying took the lead in bowing, and others turned their eyes and bowed with a smile.

After saying that, I bowed my hand and turned around and walked out of the hall.

Hong Yuao stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "Sir, please sit down. I will attack Chongqing in half a day. If I say it later, who can doubt it? Mr. Huang used the tactic of criticizing Kang and thrusting the weak! "

Only a weak navy was able to break out of the Eight Gorges, defeat the Qing army naval forces along the river, take advantage of the opportunity to sweep Huguang, and completely crush the Qing army's retreat.

Moreover, it is enough to support so few military and civilians, just relying on the capture of Yiling and Wushan. Farming takes time, and urgent means to help. The only way left is to rob it!

Regarding Tan Hong and Tan Yi, the Qing court was the first to learn. Liu Tichun followed the order and placed Qi Tan's family in Chongqing as hostages.

Quan Fengxiang said firmly: "You can just send a young general to go there. Mr. Huang must first fight every war. It is important to know that the son of a thousand gold medal is sitting in the hutang..."

"Look, this is not the Eighth Prince."

It is not to say that Chongqing alone can carry hundreds of thousands of people. At that time, Qichuan was very sparsely populated, and Chongqing’s Yuzhong Peninsula, all of which added up to more than thousands of people.

"Shangguan must do his best to do bad resettlement and military farming work, so that the small army can have food and clothing concerns and worry about fighting in the seven directions." Quan Fengxiang bowed and expressed his attitude generously and solemnly.
