Chapter 687 Zhang Xianzhong

Although Sichuan is a mountainous component, the surrounding area of ​​Chengdu is still very smooth, so it is still very easy to surround Chengdu Prefecture.

After about two days, Wu Chengxun surrounded Chengdu, and his two infantry regiments and an artillery regiment were all in place.

"There are obviously more soldiers on the city wall. Although their combat effectiveness is not strong, we have to prepare for them in the past. If we are anxious, we might have to fight two more bad battles."

Standing at the commanding heights outside the city, Jiang Mu was very satisfied with the actions of his soldiers, but many soldiers looked down on Zhang Xianzhong and Zuo Menggeng, which requires a warning and must not underestimate their enemies at any time.

"I guess this incident happened very quickly. You see, the army on their city walls is already half more than they did when they were. If I guess well, Zhang Xianzhong will definitely send someone to fight in the past two days. I have also studied Zhang Xianzhong. He is definitely not the kind of person who will get bored. If he doesn't hurt it, he will not know how to calm down."

Wu Chengxun looked with a telescope for a long time. The army on the city wall should be the most elite in Zhang Xianzhong's hands. Now there are already a lot of broken ones. If it weren't for the preparation of leaving the city to fight, how could the most elite army be withdrawn?

"It's better. What we fear the most is that they said to look at all the battle records of our Ming army in the city. As long as it can be solved outside the city, it will be nothing for us. The most frightening thing is that we stay in the city and don't come out."

Jiang Mu said happily that what he said was the truth. From the cavalry of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to the present, there is nothing we can't win in the field.

Things are similar to what Wu Chengxun expected.

On the third day after the encirclement was completed, the gate of Nancheng opened.

Some troops kept coming out of the city, and the surrounding Ming army also received the order from Wu Chengxun. As long as the other party did not launch an attack, they would just let the army slowly transport them out. No one was allowed to launch an attack in advance.

Others didn't understand what happened when Wu Chengxun issued this order. Jiang Mu knew very well that there were at least 150,000 troops in the city.

If they were not severely weakened, once these troops ran to various parts of Sichuan, it would be a big difficulty for the court.

It would be better to give them enough time to set up a formation and we will annihilate them in one fell swoop. Even if we cannot kill these 100,000 people, it would be good to kill tens of thousands.

At this moment, Zhang Xianzhong stood at the gate of the south city and saw that the Ming army was powerful, and he was also worried in his heart.

But just like what Wu Chengxun said, this guy has never been afraid of life and death. If he doesn't go out to fight a war, he will be a turtle. This is not his style of being a human being.

On the left of Zhang Xianzhong were his godsons.

From left to right are Li Dingguo, Liu Wenxiu, Ai Nengqi and Sun Kewang.

On the right side of Zhang Xianzhong, there were naturally Zuo Menggeng and his men.

After Zuo Menggeng came to Sichuan, he knew very well how to choose his original intention. If the military power was strong enough, he would naturally cut off a piece of meat from Zhang Xianzhong and then divide the Sichuanzhong.

But later he encountered the attack from Wu Chengxun, and his troops were less than 10,000. How could he become king on the land of Sichuan? So he could only honestly join Zhang Xianzhong.

Zhang Xianzhong was very rude on the surface, but in fact he was also a cautious person in his heart. Otherwise, he would not have been able to establish the Daxi regime. He knew the situation in the mainland and the Ming army would never allow Sichuan to ignore it.

If you want to fight against the Ming army, you must unite all your forces. These defeated generals under Zuo Menggeng have the experience of fighting against the Ming army, which is extremely important to the army under Zhang Xianzhong.

So when Zuo Menggeng surrendered, his godsons were not happy, but Zhang Xianzhong still accepted Zuo Menggeng.

"Prince, please see, that is the most powerful artillery in the Ming army. This kind of artillery shell is completely different from what we have seen before. As long as they fire the artillery and hit our crowd, at least a dozen people will be implicated. Moreover, the explosion center will almost die, and the chance of survival is slim."

Zuo Menggeng also knew what he should do under someone else's hands. The reason why Zhang Xianzhong was able to take him in was to better understand the Ming army, so this guy quickly entered the role and pointed to the artillery regiment in the distance and said.

"You mean these artillery can defeat a hundred thousand troops?"

When Zuo Menggeng came to Chengdu, he had already reported some of the situations of the Ming army, but he was helpless that these people didn't believe it.

Now when we say these words, the people around us still have the same expression on their faces.

If you don't believe it, you will suffer a loss on the battlefield. However, Zuo Menggeng will not say these words. He knows how to speak under someone else's roof.

"It turns out that there are many troops in Huguang area. In addition to some cavalry from the Qing Dynasty, the total number is about 500,000, but in the end it will not be able to break through their defense..."

Zuo Menggeng is now a stray dog. It would be nice to have a chance to live, so naturally he would not have any face. He used himself as an example to educate them, hoping that these people could value the offensive power of the Ming army.

Never make a mistake at this time. If Zhang Xianzhong fails, Zuo Menggeng can only continue running west, because there is Uszang's territory...

"That's because your army is relatively incompetent. Our army in the West is not a joke. They are all young men who make ten."

Liu Wenxiu said disdainfully that the few of them looked down on Zuo Menggeng, mainly because Zuo Menggeng knows more than them.

Although Zuo Menggeng is ignorant among Zuo Liangyu's sons, he is still very capable among them. During this period, Zhang Xianzhong often summoned Zuo Menggeng, so these guys felt that their status had been affected.

"Wenxiu said it right. Your original army really doesn't have much ability."

Zhang Xianzhong once fought with Zuo Liangyu, and he knew that Zuo Liangyu's army was not very capable.

However, he knew the ability of the Qing army. Even these people were defeated by the Ming army, which shows that the strength of these Ming army is not weak.
