Ming Dynasty: I, Emperor Chongzhen, swear not to go to Meishan

Siege the city for me.

No matter how provocative the rebels were or how harsh their scoldings were, Qin Liangyu just closed the city gates and refused to fight. Zhang Xianzhong was so angry that he screamed and had no choice but to order an attack on Chengdu.

Zhang Xianzhong's counselors and generals all knew that Chengdu's terrain was difficult, the city was high and the walls were thick, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack. They had been able to easily conquer Chengdu before, but they still went to great lengths to send a large number of death squads to sneak into the city and bribe the government troops. Success is achieved by coordinating the inside and the outside.

Now, Chengdu is guarded by the famous Qin Liangyu. The bravery of the White Guard Army is recognized in the Ming Dynasty. Although Zhang Xianzhong also defeated Qin Liangyu, he was beaten by Qin Liangyu more times. This battle was quite difficult.

But at this point, they had no choice but to agree to Zhang Xianzhong's attack on Chengdu. If they didn't defeat Qin Liangyu earlier and stabilize Sichuan, Sun Chuanting would definitely turn around and deal with Zhang Xianzhong after he finished dealing with Li Zicheng.

Sun Chuanting, an old thief, was more powerful than Qin Liangyu. He also controlled the three armies of Shaanxi, Huguang, and Baoding. He had more than 300,000 troops. He was a real elite. He just wiped out Li Zicheng's million-strong army. He was once so awesome. Li Zicheng hid in the deep mountains and old forests to chew snow.

Zhang Xianzhong believed that Liu Wenxiu could hold Chengdu until his main army returned to support, attack from both front and rear, and annihilate Qin Liangyu's White Army in the wild. Therefore, he marched in a hurry without carrying any weapons, equipment, food and other necessary military supplies. Siege Equipment: If you want to storm the fortified city of Chengdu, you have to spend a day building various siege equipment.

Hundreds of thousands of rebels were busy building various siege equipment in the outer city, and the city was equally busy. Although the atmosphere was busy, tense and depressing, it was not pessimistic. On the contrary, the soldiers and civilians in the city were ignited with fighting spirit and vowed to fight the rebels to the end.

Gu Junming's small plan inspired all the people in Chengdu to hate the rebels and their fighting spirit and determination to defend the city to the death, which also impressed Qin Liangyu and Lan Fang.

Zhang Xianzhong's atrocities in Sichuan caused the people of Sichuan to feel deep fear and more anger and hatred, but they just didn't dare to show it.

Gu Junming asked people to spread the news, and Zhang Xianzhong threatened that after Chengdu was captured, he would massacre the city for ten days.

When the news came out, the people in the city were frightened. They wanted to escape, but the city was surrounded by rebels on all sides. There was no way to escape. In despair, the people's desire to survive was aroused.

Both the left and the right are dead. Instead of waiting to be massacred by the rebels, it is better to take up arms and fight with the rebels. Kill one to earn enough money, kill a pair to earn one, and maybe you can still defend the city and protect your family.

The people in the city's desire for survival and their overwhelming hatred for the rebels were aroused. They spontaneously helped the white-pole army carry various weapons such as stones, rolling logs, etc. to defend the city. Many young men asked to join the army and help defend the city, vowing to Fight with the rebels to the end.

Lan Fang could no longer see the high morale of the soldiers and civilians in the city. At this moment, he was drinking tea leisurely in his temporary headquarters.

When Zhang Xianzhong's army was still two days away from Chengdu, Lan Fang had already led all the soldiers from the Guangxi Wolf Barracks and the Royal Second Regiment to quietly leave the city at dark, march with torches, and hid overnight more than 20 miles southwest of Chengdu. In the deep mountains and old forests outside.

This was a battle plan formulated after repeated research. When the rebel army failed to attack the city many times, suffered heavy casualties and was demoralized, Lan Fang led the ambush troops to fight out, and Qin Liangyu led the Baigan Army to fight out of the city. They attacked from both sides and defeated Zhang Xianzhong in one fell swoop. The main force.

All the thousands of soldiers from the Sichuan Army camp stayed in the city to assist the Baigan Army in defending the city. The thirty-six small-caliber artillery pieces equipped by the entire army also stayed behind to provide artillery support for the defense of the city.

In addition, Lan Fang not only left a large number of artillery shells, but also a large number of grenades and bullets, enough for the soldiers of the Sichuan Army Camp to squander.

It wasn't Lan Fang who was generous, but Qin Liangyu bought it with his own money, and Lan Fang gave him the best price.

Although Qin Liangyu is the chief military officer of Sichuan and a wealthy woman who guards Shizhu, she does not exploit the local people. In addition, she often fights wars, and the military expenditures given by the court are pitiful. She used her own money to form the White Army, purchase weapons and equipment, food, grass, Pensions for fallen soldiers are a huge expense.

Therefore, although Qin Liangyu is a rich woman, she is the poorest among the rich. However, after capturing Chengdu, she became rich, and it was still a big fortune.
