354 Severe Offensive

So, without saying anything, Zuo Liangyu's troops and chieftain immediately decided to attack Chengdu City first, and it would be best to capture Chengdu Prefecture before Li Zicheng's troops arrived.

This is not to say that they are very arrogant, but they are familiar with Chengdu and know that the senior officials of the imperial court in Chengdu, that is, the governor of Sichuan, Chen Shiqi, is a literati who does not understand military affairs and only knows how to talk about literature. Hou Xun has proved this.

During the period when Chen Shiqi served as the governor of Sichuan, the defense of the troops in Sichuan Province was also slackened. It was also attacked by Zuo Liangyu's troops and then attacked by Li Zicheng's troops, and all regions quickly fell.

Therefore, in their opinion, if people like Chen Shiqi guard Sichuan and Chengdu, as long as they attack seriously, there will definitely be no problem.

As a result, they hit a plate head-on.

Qin Liangyu is also an old general who is used to fighting wars. Therefore, when Zuo Liangyu's troops came in a fierce manner, she first showed that the enemy was weak. Unexpectedly, this rebel army really had to ignore it and used twelve points of strength to attack the city.

Therefore, as long as the Chengdu city is not broken, Qin Liangyu will always maintain the strength on the city, just adding strength little by little.

Just like that, after a long time of fighting, Zuo Liangyu finally realized something was wrong.

After fighting, it was logical that so many of the sieges died, so the troops on the city should have been reduced seriously. Unexpectedly, the troops on the city were similar to those when he started attacking.

At this time, he came to his senses and knew that he had been deceived, so he quickly called out the gold and stopped the troops.

However, even so, the initial fierce attack caused heavy losses to the rebels. The morale he had previously maintained was maintained, and faced with the dead bodies all over the Chengdu city walls, he suddenly fell down.

The chieftains ran to Zuo Liangyu's army one after another, mainly asking Hou Xun about the situation.

"What's going on? Why is this Chengdu Prefecture so difficult to fight?"

"It's really strange. The soldiers on the top of the city are not just white-armored soldiers. They are so fierce to resist!"

“…”

Hou Xun knew Chen Shiqi, but he was just a junior. He couldn't understand it. It was hard to say that he would suddenly get enlightened in such military affairs.

Looking at the big flag of "Qin" flying on the top of the city, he felt a little incredible: "Can Chen Shiqi be scared, so he handed over the military power to that old woman Qin Liangyu?"

It is indeed an unimaginable thing to leave it in the past.

But now, when Hou Xun thought of this, he immediately remembered his situation. He glanced at Zuo Liangyu and sighed in his heart: It’s really a chaotic world! Only in troubled times, literary people are vassals of warriors!

He naturally didn't know that Zhang Mingwei's butterfly effect had changed the power in the city.

Zuo Liangyu and the chieftain came to their senses and knew that Qin Liangyu must have the power in the city and commanded them with all power, they knew that it would be more difficult to conquer Chengdu.

Although Qin Liangyu is a woman and is so old, the great reputation that Qin Liangyu has established for most of her life is not in vain.

In the original history, after Zhang Xianzhong invaded Sichuan, he was invincible, but he just didn't dare to harass Shizhu. This shows Qin Liangyu's reputation!

At this moment, Zuo Liangyu and the coalition forces of these chieftains knew that Cheng would not be able to fight in the short term, so they simply stopped fighting and waited for Li Zicheng's subordinates to join Chengdu.

After Hao Yaoqi and Hotan arrived, he was very lucky to gloat about the previous losses of these rebels.

He was ordered by Li Zicheng and would not attack Chengdu with all his strength. He just bluffed and pretended to attack Chengdu with all his strength. He also moved his troops back and forth, sneaked out at night, and appeared under the city of Chengdu in a swagger during the day. It looked as if he was constantly increasing troops to intimidate the imperial army in Chengdu.

However, what made him a little stunned was that he was ambushing the horses surveillance in the north, and no matter day or night, he could not see a messenger who escaped from the north to ask for help from Chengdu Prefecture.

At the beginning, he thought that his subordinates had missed it, or had sneaked at night. However, after multiple verifications, it was proved that Chengdu did not send anyone out for help. At this moment, Hao Yaoqi was stunned and heard him ask Tian Jianxiu, "Even if Qin Liangyu is not afraid of death, isn't the King of Shu actually afraid of death? He didn't let Qin Liangyu send people to ask for help?"

Tian Jianxiu couldn't understand it either, because according to what they knew, the vassal kings of the court could not have the virtue of treating death as if they were ready to die.

So, while surrounding Chengdu City, they sent people to report Li Zicheng, while urging Zuo Liangyu to defeat Chengdu together and continue to put pressure on him.

However, Zuo Liangyu already knew that it would be difficult to fight Chengdu City in a short period of time, so they stopped doing it. Only when they were stupid would they use their heads to hit the iron plate.

Not only that, he also divided his troops to attack the remaining chieftains who had not yet formed an alliance with him.

What surprised Zuo Liangyu was that those chieftains who had refused to form an alliance with him, after hearing the news of chaos outside Shu, especially the Jianlu from Liaodong, who entered the pass, and defeated the capital. The life and death of the emperor are unknown, etc., the words used by Hou Xun to fool them, saw that the court in Sichuan Province could not even save Chengdu, so they changed their course and agreed to form an alliance with Zuo Liangyu.

In fact, they had no choice, because Li Zichengcai did not form an alliance with them, either obeyed Li Zicheng or was wiped out by Li Zicheng. Therefore, they could only form an alliance with Zuo Liangyu's troops.

As a result, Zuo Liangyu's troops became even more powerful. One team after another drove to Chengdu and joined the besieged city. This situation of course made Chen Shiqi, who was so distressed that he was at a loss and wanted to ask for help, but was rejected by Qin Liangyu.

I said that I should persevere until the beginning of spring, and that I should persevere until the beginning of spring.

As a result, Zuo Liangyu's subordinates were fine, but Hao Yaoqi was anxious, but there was no way.

……………………

Gao Yigong, who gathered troops here, has been holding back. When Li Zicheng's military order to adjust his strategy arrived, he immediately launched a fierce attack. For nothing else, the person he wanted to deal with was Gao Jie, a subordinate of Li Zicheng, who was the former subordinate of Li Zicheng.

It can be said that as long as Li Zicheng's generals are hated by Gao Jie to the core.

Because among the thieves, although Li Zicheng himself broke the rules and did not talk about the loyalty of the world, and if he should annex other departments, at least the principle of brothers and wives should not be deceived is deeply rooted in the bones of grass-roots heroes. However, Gao Jie did this, which of course would arouse public outrage and would like to kill Gao Jie three times and six holes.

When Gao Yigong was holding it in his arms before, he was not idle. He kept thinking about how to fight Gao Jie, and it would be best to capture Gao Jie alive. When Li Zicheng allowed him to attack with all his strength, he immediately launched a fierce attack on Gao Jie like a tiger coming out of the mountain.

For a moment, the defense areas of the imperial government army on Kuizhou Prefecture were lost. Gao Jie's troops were less than half of Gao Yigong, and only 8,000 people were around, and he could not withstand the attack of the elite bandits who had 20,000 people from Gao Yigong.

In a loss, he asked Sun Chuanting for help, but he had to give up the Kuizhou Prefecture, that is, he gave up the control of Lizhi Road in Shu and retreated into Baoning Prefecture.

Not only that, the elite bandits led by Li Zicheng, who was originally gathered in Shunqing Prefecture, also began to go north and launched an offensive against Baoning Prefecture.

For a moment, various places reported urgently and reported to Jianmen Pass.

Sun Chuanting was not surprised by this. Before, the bandits gathered their troops and did not attack, but instead made him worried. Now the bandits have finally started a large-scale attack, which has relaxed him a lot.

However, he still did not expect that the fierce attack of Li Zicheng's troops was beyond his expectations.

Especially Gao Jie's side, he actually retreated one after another, and all returned to Baoning Mansion.

From the previous contact with the thieves, Sun Chuanting had already learned about the power of this thieves. Therefore, he did not want to kill Gao Jie to kill a warning to Gao Jie for his retreat.

Although Gao Jie's retreat gave up control of the Lizhi Road in Shu, the Lizhi Road is actually the Shu Road that leaves Shu. As long as the imperial court can guard the passes in Hanzhong, there will be no problem in the Shu Road. The most important thing is the Taurus Road that he personally guards.

Therefore, Sun Chuanting ordered Gao Jie to resist step by step, mainly to consume the vital power of the thief and to destroy the morale of the thief. He must not be defeated and retreat without resistance.

The focus of Sun Chuanting's attention was on the other side of Baoning Mansion. The leader of the bandits on this road was Liu Zongmin, the number one general under Li Zicheng. It can be seen that the main force of the bandits attacking Baoning Mansion must be this road.

Therefore, Sun Chuanting dispatched troops and strictly guarded the bandit army in the south.

After the initial defeat, he unexpectedly discovered that Liu Zongmin's attack on Gao Yigong was far from being fierce in attacking Gao Jie.

Sun Chuanting was not a fool either. He immediately realized that it was the reason why Gao Jie was ruined. For this reason, he couldn't help but regret it. If he had known this, it would be better to leave Gao Jie in Datong.

But this is already the case. After more than half a month of fighting, the situation of fighting with the thieves finally stabilized again. I felt that the two armies of the thieves were already a little exhausted.

As a result, Sun Chuanting turned his gaze to Chengdu Prefecture.

What made him a little worried was that Chengdu Prefecture had almost one request a day for help, but when the thieves started to attack on a large scale, they had no messengers for help.

At the beginning, he was busy with the war in Baoning Mansion and didn't care much. Now that the war has slowed down, he is suspicious.

If the road is blocked by a thief, it will be much more difficult to deliver a message. But after so many days, at least one or two messengers could be broken through? In the end, there was nothing!

Could it be that Chengdu Prefecture has fallen?
