Li Pi pretended to be hesitant among the Jiangyang soldiers and commanders, adding fuel to the fire about how Guo Shang and Ren Quan had oppressed Su Quan and treated Jiangyang soldiers harshly, which aroused the generals' indignation. The whole army was deeply grudged, and then took advantage of people's hearts Launched an attack on Yizhou Governor's Mansion at night...
Guo Shang and Ren Quan had already been prepared for this. Just an hour ago, almost all the garrison troops stationed at various gates in Chengdu were secretly transferred back and placed near the Nancheng where Jiangyang soldiers were stationed. The remaining elite soldiers also secretly gathered there. The governor's office is on standby!
It was midnight, and the sky was getting dark.
As night falls, twilight grows thicker, and the sun sets in the west. The setting sun is like blood, staining the sky red, as if reflecting the killing tonight.
Li Pi and his party, carrying dozens of soldiers on their left and right, left the Nancheng barracks and drove straight to the Main Street to the Governor's Mansion. They did not encounter even half of the soldiers on night watch along the way. It was very smooth and Li Pi and others did not feel the danger at all. 's arrival.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!" When Jiang Yang's soldiers surrounded the Governor's Mansion, the guards guarding him were shocked, but they did not forget to shout to their companions.
Drums were also beaten on the distant city wall, and it seemed that an enemy attack had been detected.
After closing the door with all his strength, the guard held his pants in one hand and a spear in the other and ran towards his house.
At this time, Jiang Yangbing's archers launched the first round of intensive shooting. The guard looked up and saw dozens or hundreds of arrows flying over the governor's mansion. His face was filled with shock, and the hand holding his pants suddenly relaxed. , the running comrade was instantly tripped to the ground by his fallen trousers, and fell under the eaves, luckily escaping the wave of arrows.
In this way, Li Pi stood astride his own team under the rain of arrows, fastened his belt and held a waist knife to supervise the battle.
"Father, everything is as you expected. Li Pi jumped over the wall and came to attack us. Fortunately, we made preparations in advance, otherwise the situation would have been very dangerous!" Ren Quan was dressed in military uniform, while Guo Shang was still wearing a green Taoist robe.
Guo Shang's face was solemn: "Li Pi has two intentions, and the Jiangyang mutiny is just around the corner. Even if he doesn't rebel today, he will rebel tomorrow. Although we have mobilized pro-army troops in advance and concentrated them in the mansion to wait for work, we still can't take it lightly. You come out immediately The government commanded the army to annihilate Li Pi quickly, and there must be no delay in welcoming Ambassador Huan!"
"Go ahead, I will say later."
"No!" Ren Quan knew that the matter was of great importance and did not dare to delay. He personally led his people to deal with Li Pi.
In the west city of Chengdu, a partial division of Jiang Yangbing was fighting in a melee with Bajun men and horses under the jurisdiction of the city defender to compete for the city gate.
The main force of Bajun troops were scattered at the city gates of Chengdu. The defenders of Xicheng only had a thousand troops. Jiangyang soldiers gradually gained the upper hand with more attacks and fewer attacks...
After an hour, the arrow rain from both armies stopped, and with a burst of rapid drumbeats, there was another rush and killing sound under the city wall.
As soon as they climbed up the city tower and heard some noise, the Jiangyang soldiers guarding the city crouched and carefully looked down the city. They saw a large number of people approaching the city wall with ladders and stronger ladder trucks.
At this time, the first captain of the Jiangyang Army kicked him and shouted: "Lao San, why do you look so good? Hurry up and throw the stone down. Are you still waiting for the enemy to attack?"
Naturally, the army that suddenly appeared under the city could not be the reinforcements of Jiangyang soldiers. It was the Jingzhou Xifu soldiers under the banner of the Jin army.
When the battle situation in Xicheng was reversed in an instant, Ren Quan on the other side walked out of the Yizhou Governor's Mansion with a sharp sword in his arms, followed closely by the guards behind him.
"Kill me!"
Li Pi's Jiangyang soldiers were pouring into the gate of the Governor's Mansion and had yet to gain a firm foothold. Arrows came to greet them one after another!
The people forming the formation were none other than Ren Quan’s pro-army, who had been waiting for work for a long time!
"No! Ren Quan had an ambush!" When Li Pi saw the heavy losses of his troops, he immediately thought of all the coincidences of this trip!
No wonder this troop dispatch went so smoothly.
No wonder there are no obstacles along the way.
No wonder Chengdu is so peaceful.
It turns out that Ren Quan had anticipated all this!
"Retreat, retreat quickly!"
Jiang Yang's soldiers were distraught and quickly withdrew from the area around the Governor's Mansion and began to retreat towards the surrounding alleys.
Ren Quan stepped on the corpses of enemy soldiers along the road and walked out. He saw a chariot parked in front of the house. The breastbands on the two maroon horses were not removed. The yoke was half lifted, and Guo Shang was sitting in the driving seat. In the curtain that followed, behind him was the most elite pro-military guard in Ren Quan's hands. Everything was ready and all they needed was the east wind, ready to set off at any time.
"Yafu!"
"Well! Jiang Yang's army has been defeated. Let's get out of the city!"
"Send troops!" After repelling Li Pi, Ren Quan and Guo Shang led their troops out of the mansion to prepare for a pincer attack with the Xifu soldiers outside the city to attack the remaining Jiangyang soldiers.
Outside the city, there is a chariot behind the Jin army attacking the city. Next to the chariot is a large banner with a majestic white tiger embroidered on it. The adjacent banner is embroidered with a red "Huan". "Character.
White tiger banner, Xifu army banner.
Yes, this is Huan Shimin, the commander-in-chief of the Xifu Army and the governor of Jingzhou!
"Send the order to speed up the siege! The first to enter the city will receive a reward of 10,000 yuan and be promoted to the third level."
"promise!"
Lingqi kept running around on horseback, galloping between the military formations to convey the latest military orders. After the generals received the order, they immediately adjusted their square formations and were ready to take over from the siege vanguard in front...
The battle of attacking and defending the city gate is still going on. At first, Jiangyang soldiers took advantage of the high ground and had the upper hand. Chengdu City had a slight advantage due to the high ground and the deep pool. It actually repelled the first few attacks of the Jin army. Although the Jin army's attack was frustrated, it knew that there was something inside the city. With the support of friendly forces, and Huan Shimin in the army sitting in charge to supervise the battle, the morale of the army remained stable.
Furthermore, the Jin army won consecutive battles. After several battles, it began to seize the loopholes in Jiangyang's defense and began to concentrate its forces to break through. Less than two hours later, the Jin army began to take the initiative on the battlefield.
Moreover, after Jiangyang soldiers lost several important commanding heights one after another, the defensive gap was torn open by the Jin army due to lack of manpower. At this time, the Jin army's subsequent reinforcements just arrived at the city!
In the end, under the combined efforts of the Jin army's forwards and reinforcements, Jiangyang's soldiers gradually lost their battle, and the situation deteriorated to the point of complete defeat...
"Today's battle will probably be a disaster!" Li Pi had this unrealistic expectation in his mind from the moment he retreated from the Governor's Mansion.
Along the way, wailing and blood were mixed together, like a doomsday lament.
Li Pi sat on his horse and galloped at high speed, gritting his teeth and clenching the reins in his hands. Seeing that his subordinates who usually chatted and laughed one by one were killed by the iron cavalry, at this moment, he felt extremely frustrated and frustrated. despair.
Wherever the two armies passed, corpses lay along the streets, mourners filled the ground, and pairs of eyes that had never closed seemed to be still staring at themselves galloping on horseback.
The victory or defeat is determined immediately. Who is strong and who is weak? All it takes is one charge to predict the outcome.
At this time, Wang Wuji, Li Pi's deputy lieutenant, rode up to his side. Xue Shang breathed heavily and hissed: "General, Jin army reinforcements have entered the city. Our army's retreat has been cut off. General, please lead the remaining brothers." Hurry up and leave Chengdu! My subordinates are willing to lead people to cut off the general's rear!"
"General! The soldiers can no longer hold it anymore. They have opened a gap on the right wing. Break out quickly and your subordinates will take care of you!"
Li Pi looked at his subordinates who were covered in blood and smiled miserably: "Forget it, today's defeat was due to me not being secretive. What's your fault? Now that the matter is over, you can run for your lives! I, I have my own place to go!" "
Seeing Li Pi's determination, the subordinates began to flee in all directions, and soon only dozens of people were left around Li Pi.
"Evacuate quickly, the city is broken, retreat quickly!"
"Run quickly..."
Not long after, the morale of Jiangyang's soldiers had declined, but by this time the Jin army had broken through the city gates, and the defeated soldiers dispersed like birds and beasts in an instant. Li Pi drew his sword and killed himself, martyrdom for his country. Dozens of people who followed him finally died after stubborn resistance. They were all wiped out by the Jin army!
In the Battle of Chengdu, half of the five thousand Jiangyang soldiers were killed, and the rest surrendered. At this point, the Jiangyang soldiers were gone, and the largest remaining force of Qin in Yizhou was completely eliminated!
"Welcome the envoy!" Guo Shang and Ren Quan led the Chengdu civil and military forces to welcome the Xifu army into the city at the city gate.
Huan Shimin got off his horse and stepped forward to grab Guo Shang. He said with a smile on his face: "Sir, you are very resourceful and good at making decisions."
