Chapter 280 Trapped in Chengdu
On the west wall, Li Ziqi and his confidant shouted loudly: "When the Sichuan Army is here, they are all cheering up. Get up, are you listless, are you looking for death?"
The head of the city gate tower turned his head and looked at it, feeling quite satisfied. He tried his best to satisfy and tolerate Li Ziqi's military strength these days, in order to defend the city this day.
If these Qiang people eat and drink enough, they will definitely be severely punished if they do not work hard.
Under the city gate, the moat is at the city gate, and it is recessed inward, so that the city gate suspension bridge can cross the river.
The southern Sichuan army gathered in the city gate area, carrying siege tools and preparing to cross the river.
Li Ziqi was shocked when he saw it. He was surprised that the Sichuan Army was about to attack the city when it came. This was simply a joke. I couldn't help but guess that 80% of the leader was not Wei Fufeng.
Wei Fufeng gave Li Ziqi the impression that he was to act steadily and then act.
Li Ziqi's thoughts changed and called on twenty subordinates to walk to the city gate tower, please see the chief general.
The general met Li Ziqi and asked, "What's wrong with General Li?"
"Sir, the Southern Sichuan Army may want to attack the city, so my subordinates will inform you." Li Ziqi said.
The general nodded, turned his head and looked down at the city, and said, "The signs are to attack the city, the tired army will attack the city, and the military will be taboo."
"Maybe I want to attack him unpredictable." Li Ziqi said.
"Attack him unprepared? Stupid thoughts." The chief general shook his head and laughed.
"I will go back to supervise the battle." Li Ziqi said, turning and leaving.
Li Ziqi returned to the defense zone, called his subordinates, and whispered: "Once you attack the city, follow me to kill the city gate tower. If you stay there, you are likely to be killed by the siege army. We will kill the city gate tower. First, we can put down the suspension bridge in time, and second, we will guide the direction for the Sichuan army. If you turn your back to it, you will not be killed by mistake."
The confidant nodded, nervous and expectant.
Li Ziqi gave them a generous promise that after the matter was completed, he would get the position of military envoy, fifty taels of gold, and stay in Chengdu as an official.
Chengdu is a good place, it is as prosperous as a brocade, and the woman's skin is tender and tender to the touch...
Boom boom boom! The war drums and thunder are shaking outside the city.
Lu Qing stood under the banner and looked at Li Ziqi's defense zone, and was full of expectations. As long as he was caught in the city, the battle of Xichuan would definitely win.
If Wei Fufeng unified Bashu, Lu Qing's status would also rise and become a founding noble.
The southern Sichuan army crossed the moat like a tide. In Li Ziqi's section, three hundred archers were ready to go, and most of the bows and arrows were given before the war.
Seeing the southern Sichuan army approaching the city wall, Li Ziqi waved his hand and got the hundred archers he ordered to shoot arrows. The rain of arrows flew away, and all the fallen places.
The arrows were first to deal with the main generals of the city tower, and the other was a signal to tell the Southern Sichuan Army that they were friendly but not enemies, even if they were released, they would attack faster.
Sure enough, seeing no casualties, the vanguard of Sichuan South Army was full of fighting spirit and was rushing to the forefront. As long as you climb the city wall, you will make great achievements.
Li Ziqi decisively ordered that nearly 700 subordinates in the defense area would kill the city gate tower regardless of whether they understood or not.
Archers shot in front, and then swords and spearmen were killed. Feng Xiang's army at the city gate tower was caught off guard and was killed in a hurry to fight.
The head of the city gate turned around and ran away in horror, but dozens of arrows ran away and shot into a porcupine on the spot.
The city gate tower was in chaos, and Li Ziqi led the way, grabbed the suspension bridge roulette with his subordinates, and rumbled down the suspension bridge.
The southern Sichuan army rushed up the city wall from Li Ziqi's gap, and killed off the horse under the shout of the general, and seized the gate of the city gate.
A general ran to the city gate tower and shouted: "General Li Ziqi."
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
"I'm here." Li Ziqi responded loudly.
"General Li, Lord Protector, the situation in the city obeys General Li's command and ask General Li to give orders." The general said anxiously.
Li Ziqi was stunned and then said, "Snatch the city gate, the army enters the city, and immediately follow me to the inner city, and there are internal supporters in the inner city."
"After the order, General Li asks." The general was overjoyed and asked for it respectfully.
At the same time, on the east and south sides, the Sichuan South Army, who were posing for attacking the city, suddenly dropped its equipment and ran along the moat.
The military forces on the south side arrived first on the west side. Seeing the city gates open and friendly troops were swarming into the city, they couldn't help but rush forward with excitement, and the morale of the army rose to the extreme.
All the fatigue, complaints, hunger, were thrown away from your mind, and you could only rush in and kill the enemy and prisoners to make meritorious contributions.
Li Ziqi rode a horse and led the southern Sichuan army to the inner city.
When the troops were approaching the city, the defenders in the inner city organized defense in a hurry.
The enemy came too suddenly, and there were only 3,000 defenders in the inner city, one was scattered and three hundred defenders in each city gate were mainly used for investigation.
In a panic, Li Ziqi's three hundred subordinates ran out of the fireworks willow alley.
Most of them followed the leader in a confused manner to rebel, easily got up to the city gate tower, accidentally seized the city gate, put down the suspension bridge, and put them into the southern Sichuan army.
The situation took a sharp turn and the Fengxiang army was completely stunned. Because the military forces were dispersed and the unification of unified command was unable to be achieved, the Sichuan Army defeated them one by one, and the momentum was unstoppable.
The Fengxiang army was frustrated and fled and surrendered countless times.
Li Jipeng rushed to the inner city from the east gate. If the inner city was defended, he could still fight against the southern Sichuan army. He was so frightened that he was at a loss. Chengdu city was too big to know the specific situation for the time being.
However, Li Jipeng's actions were one step slower than Li Ziqi, and when the inner city forces escaped to report the loss.
Li Jipeng looked pale and hesitated for a while. Finally, he ordered his evacuation and fled Chengdu with more than 10,000 troops.
......
After a great victory, Tian Wen'er finally entered Chengdu City. The 20,000 troops led by him were stationed outside the city and basically did not participate in the battle.
The reason for this is that the human race is accustomed to robbing. Once they enter the city first, they will inevitably cause a lot of disaster.
The second is to strengthen the ownership of the Southern Sichuan Army and give opportunities to achieve merits and rewards.
Third, the Liaoren tribe borrowed troops. The last time they attacked Jiangling Prefecture, the Liaoren tribe suffered too much damage, and Tian Wen'er was under a lot of pressure.
It is said that it is easy to borrow and repay, and it is not difficult to borrow again. If the human race goes by, it will get a lot of rewards, which will be beneficial to long-term rule in the future.
Tian Wen'er arrived in the inner city and met Li Ziqi and his confidant subordinates at the city gate.
Li Ziqi respectfully worshiped: "My commander Li Ziqi, pay homage to the Protector."
"Wrong, I should say that I pay homage to the third lady. You will be the one whom your husband relies on in the future." Tian Wen'er smiled.
"Yes, my subordinates pay homage to the third lady." Li Ziqi respectfully worshiped him.
"Well, Li Ziqi, you are a great contribution this time." Tian Wen'er smiled.
Li Ziqi asked respectfully: "Three Lady, where are you here?"
"My husband should be in Fujian. He originally led his army to Lingnan to clear the separatist rule, but he didn't want natural disasters to harm Lingnan Fujian. My husband decided to rescue the disaster. Things happened in the north suddenly and he didn't have time to come back." Tian Wen'er replied.
Li Ziqi nodded, and Tian Wen'er smiled again: "Li Ziqi, do you have any requests? Let me say that I will fulfill part of your contribution today."
"I have long been thanked by the Lord for releasing animals.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
It is appropriate to serve, but his subordinates promised that each of the five subordinates would achieve 50 taels of gold, officials, soldiers and horses would stay in Chengdu for a job." Li Ziqi hesitated and said.
"Okay, my wife is approved. Each person will add another ten taels of gold. You can stay in Chengdu in the future. For other subordinates, each person will pay 5 taels of gold. If you have any contribution, you will calculate it." Tian Wen'er agreed readily and added more money.
"Thank you for your kindness and rewards from the third wife." Li Ziqi and his five generals and officials thanked him in surprise.
Li Ziqi also silently thanked him, very grateful and admired him.
Tian Wen'er said: "You have made meritorious service this time. As long as I am a wife, your wealth will last forever in the future. But remember that you must not violate the law. Breaking the law means opposing my husband. Others bullying you for no reason. Mrs. can help you, but if I violate the law, I cannot contradict my husband."
The five subordinates responded respectfully, and suddenly one subordinate with thick eyebrows and big eyes said, "Three Lady, can you go back to Maozhou to be an official?"
Tian Wen'er said: "I have fulfilled your contribution. Can you go to Maozhou to become an official? You need to ask the Governor's Office or Li Ziqi recommends it once, so you can wait."
The subordinate responded respectfully, Tian Wen'er looked at Li Ziqi and said, "My husband's letter will give you two choices. One is to serve as the governor of Xichuan and march Sima and stay in Chengdu, and the other is to serve as the chief of the Du Defense Commission, in charge of the military defense of Chengzhou, Xingzhou, Lizhou, Jianzhou and Longzhou."
Li Ziqi said: "Sir, I plan to seize the waterway of the upper Jialing River and open up Longyou."
Tian Wen'er nodded and said, "My husband plans to use Yangping Pass as the boundary to confront Fengxiang Army. The waterways in the upper Jialing River must be controlled."
Li Ziqi said: "If Hanzhong is not captured, the defense will be very passive. Now we should make a concerted effort and order the Dongchuan army to send troops, and we will definitely be able to capture Hanzhong."
Tian Wen'er said: "My husband said it is not the time to seize Hanzhong. Even if it can be captured, it will cost a huge price. The Fengxiang Army will not suffer much loss. Once the military power stationed in Shu retreats from Hanzhong, the advantage of military strength will be highlighted, not to mention that the Dongchuan Army may not be willing to send troops."
Li Ziqi nodded, and Tian Wen'er said again: "I also think I'm attacking Hanzhong in one go, but my husband said it was not the time, so it must be reasonable."
Li Ziqi was slightly stunned, thought for a moment, and said, "My lord's consideration, maybe he was unwilling to force the Fengxiang army to counterattack wildly, both sides were injured. Maybe he was worried that the tree would attract the wind and arouse hostility from the court and other vassal states."
"Maybe it is." Tian Wen'er smiled.
Li Ziqi thought for a moment and said, "The subordinates should share the worries of the adults and are willing to be the chief defensive commander."
Tian Wen'er nodded and said, "My husband said in his letter that you will be the defensive commander. Your old father will be transferred to the governor of Lizhou. The governor of Yongzhou asked you to recommend a brother to serve. If the old man is unwilling to work, let your brother serve as the governor of Lizhou."
Li Ziqi felt warm and said kindly: "Thank you for the gifts of lord."
"This time you have made great contributions, but your husband has always decentralized power in the military and political circles and cannot allow you to serve as the governor. The military position in southern Sichuan is the highest defense commander. In fact, the position of the governor is of no use. If you serve as a marching Sima, your power in Chengdu is limited, but you can live a peaceful life." Tian Wen'er said bluntly.
Li Ziqi heard this and didn't know how to respond.
Tian Wen'er said again: "This time you helped me. If you commit any sins in the future, I will definitely help you to be exempted from punishment. I will always make you rich and prosperous, and at least be a hereditary prince."
"Thank you, Mrs. Three." Li Ziqi sincerely thanked her.
"Okay, let's start the aftermath. You are familiar with Chengdu and help me." Tian Wen'er said.
