Chapter 932: The Fall of Chongqing City
"Jiannu! Jiannu is here!" The defenders at the Chongqing city gate suddenly shouted. When they heard the soldiers' reports, Wang Yingxiong was shocked and jumped up like a spring installed on the seat: "What? Jiannu is here?"
Wang Yingxiong, Zeng Ying, Wang Xiang, Yang Zhan and others climbed to the top of the city and looked down at the city. They saw that the densely packed outside the city were all Qing soldiers wearing blue and black robes and red tassel hats. Behind a group of Eight Banners soldiers wearing light yellow armor, lightning rod helmets, and high-headed horses. However, the Eight Banners soldiers were not large, with only more than a thousand people.
One of the Eight Banners generals with yellow helmets and yellow armor suddenly rode forward, and arrived outside the area below the city. He raised his head and shouted at the top of the city: "I am Batulu of the Qing Dynasty, a third-class man, Melezhangjing Aobai! Who dares to open the city to fight to the death with me?"
"Obai?" Zeng Ying gasped and turned his head and shouted, "Su Wen Aobai's martial arts skills are very powerful and has the courage of thousands of men. Our army must not open the city! As long as we guard the city well, Jiannu will have no choice but to do anything to us!"
The Qing army outside the city shouted for a long time, but no one in the city dared to go out of the city to fight with the Qing army. Although the number of defenders in the city was far more than that in the Qing army, they were all frightened by the Qing army.
It was getting dark, and Feng Kuang fell in a restaurant and was waiting anxiously for someone. After a while, a servant came to report: "Master, Yang Junmen is here."
"Hurry, invite him up." Feng Kuang said.
Yang Zhan walked up the second floor and into the private room. Feng Kuangduo quickly stood up: "Yang Junmen, please sit down."
"Censor Feng invited Yang here today, just to have a few glasses of wine?" Yang Zhan asked.
"Come on, you and I have known each other for many years. Speaking of which, I think it's my own brother, so what if I drink a few glasses of wine? Maybe after drinking this glass of wine today, I don't know if I have a chance to drink again in the future." Feng Kuang said hello to Yang Zhan to sit down.
Yang Zhan heard something wrong with Feng Kuang's words and sneered: "Civil Feng, what do you mean by saying this means that there is no chance in the future? Chongqing's city is solid. Civil Feng thinks Jiannu can destroy the city?"
Feng Kuang smiled and said, "I don't know if Jiannu can break the city, but you are in danger in Yang Junmen."
"Why should Censor Feng say that Yang is in danger?" Yang Zhan stood up.
Feng Kuangchu replied slowly, "If Jiannu did not come, Yang Junmen could still rest assured. But if Jiannu came, Yang Junmen would be in danger."
"How can I explain this?"
"Yang Junmen accidentally threw away Kuizhou, and after returning to Chongqing, he still took his anger at Wang Junmen. Wang Junmen is also a confidant of Wang Junmen. You offended Wang Junmen, but Wang Junmen hates you to the core! When Jiannu came this time, he will definitely take advantage of the situation and think that Yang Junmen has lost his new defeat and his morale is unstable. In order to stabilize the morale of the army, they will inevitably make excuses. For example, Infinite Yang Junmen, you will serve as an internal support for Jiannu, take the opportunity to get rid of you and recruit your soldiers to stabilize the morale of the army."
Yang Zhan was so shocked that he widened his eyes, and he believed in what Feng Kuang said. All kinds of rumors circulating in the city were very unfavorable to him. He had long become a frightened bird. After being dropped by Feng Kuang, Yang Zhan subconsciously touched his neck to see if his head was still on his neck. Before he knew it, Yang Zhan was already sweating all over.
"Mr. Feng, save me!" Yang Zhan suddenly knelt on the ground.
Feng Kuang stroking his beard, shook his head and said, "If Yang Junmen wants to survive, it is actually not difficult. The Qing Tianjun Army is not outside the city? As long as you help the Qing Tianjun open the city gate and the Qing army enter the city, the Yang Junmen will survive."
"This, this, I'm afraid this is not right?" Yang Zhan asked with a sweat all over his head and tremblingly, "Mr. Feng, if the Qing Dynasty is defeated in the future, will Duke Chu catch us, can he let us go?"
Feng Kuang snorted: "What's wrong? If Yang Junmen does not open the city gate, the heads of people will soon fall to the ground! Open the city gate to welcome the Qing army, and you can live for several more years. Perhaps the Qing Dynasty will follow the will of heaven and seize the world? Then Yang Junmen, aren't you a hero of the Qing Dynasty? You will enjoy endless wealth and honor at that time."
"The Duke of Chu's army is so powerful. I am only worried that the Qing Dynasty cannot stop the Duke of Chu." Yang Zhan said worriedly.
Feng Kuang smiled and said, "No matter how powerful the Duke of Chu's army is, it can only be arrogant in the south. If he goes to the north, how could the Duke of Chu who lacks cavalry be so easy to fight?"
Yang Zhan finally made up his mind: "Okay! Since that's the case, then just open the city gate and welcome the Qing army!"
Feng Kuang said, "Since Yang Junmen can understand the righteousness, then Feng will cooperate with you. You should write a letter to the Qing Dynasty outside the city first, and Feng will naturally send someone to send the letter outside the city. You have agreed on the time and when to open the city gate, it will be written in the letter."
Yang Zhan picked up a pen and wrote a letter, let Feng Kuang lose his eyes, and handed it to him: "Mr. Feng, I'll ask you for your life as a big or small family."
Feng Kuangqiu took the letter and carefully received it in his sleeve. At the beginning of the morning, the reply from the Qing Dynasty came. Feng Kuangqiu did not dare to neglect it, and immediately sent someone to deliver the letter to Yang Zhan's mansion before dawn.
After receiving a reply from the Qing Dynasty, Yang Zhan was both scared and excited. Before dawn, he gathered all his confidants: "Brothers, the dog official named Wang and Wang Xiang have begun to doubt us. If we want to survive, the only way is to open the city gate and welcome the Qing army!"
"We will go wherever the lord goes!" said a captain of the servant.
The Ming Dynasty's family system led to these family members not knowing the court, but only knowing the head of the family. What is loyal to the emperor and patriotism, and serving the court is bullshit. They can resist the order for their own family heads, and they can surrender to the enemy and rebel for the heads of the family, because they are all the masters who give them life. Their food is more than ten times better than ordinary soldiers, and they take the most military pay and use the best equipment. All of this is provided by the master general to deduct the military pay of ordinary soldiers to them, so they will work hard for the masters to the end.
After it got dark, Yang Zhan personally took more than a hundred servants and touched Tongyuanmen.
The soldiers in the city had no precautions. When the soldiers stationed at the city gate saw Yang Zhan and the others, they came forward and said hello: "Yang Junmen, are you still here because you are so late?"
Yang Zhan did not answer, and suddenly a hilt hit the soldier's neck. The soldier fell down without even humming.
"Kill!" Yang Zhan roared, and more than a hundred servants rushed up the steps, each servant was holding a pair of crossbow machines in his hand. Seeing the Ming soldiers rushing out from the front, the servants pressed down their hanging swords, and the crossbow arrows pierced into the guards' throats with the sound of breaking through the air, and their hearts were in their hearts.
A red lantern was hung on the top of the city wall, a red firework bloomed in the air, the city gate was opened, and the suspension bridge was put down.
"Kill!" The Qing soldiers who had already ambushed outside the city shouted and rushed into the city.
"Jiannu has entered the city! Jiannu has entered the city!" A terrified shout echoed in Chongqing.
A Qing army general wearing a lightning rod helmet and thick armor climbed the Tongyuan Gate Tower surrounded by a group of soldiers. Before the people arrived, the Qing army general shouted: "Who is Yang Zhan?"
"The last general is!" Yang Zhan hurriedly knelt on the ground.
Unexpectedly, the Qing general sneered: "Catch it!"
Two strong soldiers stepped forward and were about to hold Yang Zhan down. But Yang Zhan was very skilled and powerful, and the two soldiers could not hold him down for a moment. Only when the Qing general suddenly roared, he rushed forward, kicked Yang Zhan up, and kicked Yang Zhan over to the ground. Then more than a dozen soldiers rushed forward and subdued Yang Zhan.
Yang Zhan's servants fought to the death and tried to rescue the monk's head, but these elite servants were vulnerable to the Qing soldiers dressed by the Eight Banners soldiers and were killed in a blink of an eye.
