Chapter 65: Recover Chongqing

Wang Henian never thought that Gao Minzhan would dare to come out and even tried to make peace.

"Why are you still standing there? Take action!"

Wang He Nian made a decision in a flash.

It is true that Gao Minzhan is more valuable, but if Gao Minzhan's death is heard at this moment, it will also be a huge blow to the morale of the Qing army.

As long as the morale of the Qing army was disintegrated, Chongqing would inevitably be unable to defend it.

Before he finished speaking, the arrow from the guard guard Qi Si had already landed on the bowstring.

Before going to Wang's house to work as a guard, Qi Si was a hunter, and his craftsmanship was his specialty.

In his opinion, there is no essential difference between prey and humans, and humans are even inferior to these preys in terms of reaction.

But an arrow flew out and headed towards Gao Minzhan's face.

Gao Minzhan was immediately frightened and his legs were as if they were filled with lead and could not move at all.

Seeing that Gao Minzhan was about to be killed by an arrow, his servant rushed over and threw Gao Minzhan to the ground.

In this way, although Gao Minzhan fell to bite the mud, he saved his life.

Seeing that his efforts were in vain, Qi Si was not disappointed, but instead drew an arrow and shot it again!

Arrows in a row!

The long-lost continuous pearl arrow!

Qi Si shot three arrows in a row, calculating Gao Minzhan's possible retreat path tightly.

Before Gao Minzhan could stand up, he saw an arrow flying towards him and was stunned.

puff!

An arrow penetrates directly from the throat!

Uh, uh...

Gao Minzhan wanted to call for help, but he was hesitant and speechless.

He tried his best to pull the arrow out of his throat, but he still couldn't pull it out with all his strength.

Blood kept flowing out of the wound, and Gao Minzhan gradually exhausted and fell to the ground with a weak body.

He instinctively twitched and struggled, and then there was no movement.

"The pseudo-governor Gao Minzhan is dead, and the rest of the people are still surrender!"

Seeing this, Wang Henian immediately shouted loudly.

"Give up resistance, and those who surrender will not be killed!"

The confidants of Gao Minzhan's servants were stunned when they saw this, and they were stunned for a moment and threw away the weapons in their hands.

The governor is dead, what else are they fighting for?

As for the Ming army's words of giving up resistance and not killing those who surrendered, they just had a try-and-see attitude.

Anyway, resistance is death, and surrender still has a glimmer of hope.

Smart people know how to choose.

"Tie them all and cut off the high thief's head!"

Wang Henian suppressed the ecstasy in his heart and ordered in a deep voice.

In his opinion, once Gao Minzhan died, the Qing army had no leader, and it was already one step away from recapturing Chongqing City.

...

...

"Sir General, Chaotian Gate has been opened! There is an inner supporter of the Ming thief in the city!"

A personal soldier ran to Wang Mingde with a sad face and said almost wailingly.

Wang Mingde's face turned pale and gritted his teeth and asked, "Where is the governor now?"

Chaotianmen was opened, and the Ming army's large stocks poured into the city, and it was already a matter of time before Chongqing was broken.

If you don't leave now, it will be too late.

Gao Minzhan was Wang Mingde's benefactor, and he had the kindness of knowing Wang Mingde.

Although the situation is urgent now, Wang Mingde still doesn't want to leave Gao Minzhan and run away alone.

"Governor, Governor, Governor..."

"What's wrong with the governor? You said!"

Wang Mingde was so anxious that his face turned red and he asked repeatedly.

"The Governor was killed by the Ming thief. Now his head is in the hands of the Ming thief. All the brothers have seen it."

Boom!

Wang Mingde only felt that his mind was blown up and he was completely stunned.

Governor Gao was killed now?

Who did it?

He had countless questions at this moment, but obviously he didn't have time to think about it.

"Sir General, let's break through as soon as possible. If the Ming army enters the city, it will be too late to leave."

The relationship between personal soldiers and Wang Mingde is like that between Wang Mingde and Gao Minzhan.

His only chain of allegiance and interests is Wang Mingde, so as long as Wang Mingde is still there, he will have a day to turn over.

"This is the only way to do it for the present."

Wang Mingde sighed and ordered in a deep voice: "Tell me to order the whole army breaks through Dongshuimen."

There is a Cuiwei Gate between Dongshuimen and Chaotian Gate. Although there is only such a small distance, the water system channel is completely different.

From here, Wang Mingde can lead the navy directly into the Jialing River!

"Get orders!"

...

...

News of Gao Minzhan's beheading came out, and the morale of the Qing army in Chongqing was completely collapsed.

Not only Wang Mingde led his troops to escape from Dongshuimen, Cheng Tingjun, Tan Zhi, Tan Hong and others also ran away.

However, the Ming army seemed to be prepared for a long time. Except for Wang Mingde's troops who escaped by a time difference, the rest of the troops were intercepted and killed by the Ming army.

Blood stained the river water red, and floating corpses were everywhere along the coast.

Seeing this, Zhu Youlang knew that it was the city's insider who played a role, and he was overjoyed.

This battle consumed huge artillery for the Ming army. If you continued to fight, you would face the embarrassing situation of exhaustion of artillery shells.

Fortunately, the hidden stakes were stuck at this critical node, which reduced the Ming army many unnecessary losses.

These are all living lives!

Now the Ming army has basically controlled the city gates and is gradually entering the city.

According to Li Dingguo's return, in addition to a small number of Qing troops in the city, they were basically under control.

However, Li Dingguo still hopes that the emperor can wait a little longer and wait until the situation in Chongqing is completely stable before entering the city.

Zhu Youlang naturally had no objection to this.

He fully respects Li Dingguo's opinions in matters like fighting, and there will never be any situation where laymen command experts.

"Your Majesty, Chongqing is back!"

Wen Anzhi was so excited that his beard was trembling with excitement when he saw that the Ming Dynasty's dragon flag was planted on the top of Chongqing city.

He had dreamed of this scene countless times in his dreams, but when he saw it with his own eyes, he still felt a little unbelievable.

Chongqing is like a fish bone stuck between the Ming army in Sichuan and the Thirteen Kuidong families, making the Ming army's spheres of influence unable to be connected.

Now that Chongqing is recovered, it means that the Ming army can concentrate its superior forces to resist foreign enemies.

Whether it is Wu Sangui or anything else, the Ming army will respond calmly without any worries.

Maybe the next step can be to tentatively attack Huguang?

Of course, this idea only came out for a moment, and then it was suppressed by Wen Anzhi.

No one knows better the internal affairs of the Ming Dynasty than him.

King Jin settled in the southwest for several years and only barely supported more than 100,000 troops. Even if he combined the troops of all Sichuan, the absolute strength of the Ming army and the Qing army was still very different.

In this case, it is not a wise choice to rashly attack Huguang, and it is likely to lead the Ming army into the mud.

If the military affairs are not good at that time, it will be difficult to get out of here.

The most urgent task at the moment is to restore people's livelihoods and hoard food and grass for the next war.

He will live another ten years, and he will see the Ming army recover his hometown Yiling with his own eyes!

Wen Anzhi swears secretly in his heart.
