The Daxi Army invaded into the gap, but Zhao Liangdong, who knew that he was guilty and was unforgivable, ordered the Qing army to resist to the death and ordered the personal troops to suppress the Qing army. In addition, Zhao Liangdong intimidated and threatened the Qing army, saying that they had already massacred the common people. If the Daxi Army conquered Chengdu, they would massacre them, and even if they surrendered, they would be massacred.

Zhao Liangdong deceived the Qing soldiers again, saying that as long as he persisted, reinforcements would enter Sichuan soon. In fact, Zhao Liangdong himself knew very well that Jiange was occupied by the Daxi Army and reinforcements would never come. Jiange controlled by the Daxi Army, with only one man as a pass, but ten thousand men could not open it. Only 5,000 people were stationed in Jiange with a dangerous terrain, and even a million troops would be difficult to conquer. After all, the road was narrow and no matter how many people the attacking party had, they could not be used. They could only go up in batches. As a result, they were beaten to death by rolling wooden stones and bloodshed and killed by the soldiers guarding the pass with firearms and bows. No matter how many people were, the only thing they could do was to consume the opponent's ammunition and arrows.

But Zhao Liangdong could not tell the Qing soldiers about this. He deceived the Qing soldiers and said that reinforcements would arrive soon.

There was psychological pressure and the supervision team, so these Qing soldiers fought to the death and drove out the Daxi Army, which had poured into the gap!

It was not that the Western Army was not brave enough, but that it was indeed very difficult to break through the gap when facing the enemy fighting trapped beasts. The corpses of soldiers on both sides were piled up into a hill at the gap. The Qing soldiers guarding the city threw down bricks and stones, and used the corpses as the foundation, blocking the gap again.

"Give more support to the Daxi Army! Send the heavy siege artillery to Chengdu to support them! Tell them to capture Zhao Liangdong and deal with it themselves! In addition, let them persuade ordinary Qing soldiers to surrender, including the Eight Banners soldiers. If they can, they will persuade them to surrender. We can kill as little as possible. After all, I have to immigrate overseas and urgently need manpower." Li Guodong received a report from the messenger of the Daxi Army and decided to transfer all the eight super siege artillery to Sichuan.

No matter what the situation is, Li Guodong has zero tolerance for the massacre of the people. So after hearing about the situation, he immediately ordered to give more support to the Western Army.

The transport ships transporting four 64-pound siege cannons and four 320-pound siege cannons set off from Wuchang, went upstream along the Yangtze River, and sailed to Chengdu. These eight siege cannons were originally prepared for worldly cities like Xiangyang and Beijing, but now they were handy in advance and transported to Chengdu to support the Daxi Army in the city. Because Zhao Liangdong in the city was already crazy, he began to use the people as food. If he had captured Chengdu one day, he could save a group of people.

The fleet set out from Wuchang, passed through Chongqing, and arrived in Xuzhou, the soldiers unloaded the heavy artillery from the large ship, turned to a small boat, and then went upstream along the Minjiang River.

After half a month of long-distance transportation, eight heavy artillery were finally sent to the hands of the Western Army.

After four giant siege cannons and four giant siege mortars were sent, the Huai Army gunners who were deployed began to launch fierce shelling at the Chengdu city wall.

After one round of test firing and the second round of artillery, the whistling cannon shells hit the city wall at the speed of sound. Although such a large-caliber long-barrel cannon still adopts spherical cannons, the speed of the cannon cannon can reach the speed of sound because of the extremely high chamber pressure. The cannon shells that reach the speed of sound made a harsh whistling sound and smashed hard on the city wall. The bricks were broken and bricks and stones flew across. The heavy cannon shells had a powerful kinetic energy, and a crack was smashed into the city wall. The female wall battlement collapsed with a violent vibration.

The heavy mortar shell fell from the sky and landed on the city wall. The floor tiles on the city wall were broken into countless pieces. An unfortunate Qing soldier was directly hit by the shell and was immediately smashed into a pool of meat mud, and then splashed in all directions under the powerful impact force. The splashing bricks flew across like shrapnel, and a large area of ​​Qing soldiers around him fell.

Because of the fast initial speed of the shells, the hit rate of the overweight artillery cannon is extremely high. In one round of artillery bombing, one of the shells hits the cracks left by the previous shells. The bricks covering the city walls shatter and fall to the ground, revealing the rammed earth inside.

"What a great cannon! With another round of cannonage, the city wall will collapse!" Li Guodong said with a smile.

Zhao Liangdong discovered the intention of the Daxi Army and knew that they were going to use the newly sent giant cannons to collapse the city wall, so he ordered the Qing soldiers to wait behind the shelled city wall. Once the city wall collapsed, he immediately organized personnel to block the gap.

As a result, the soldiers of the Daxi Army standing on the train on the Wanglou discovered the Qing soldiers gathered behind the city wall, and immediately issued flags and told Li Dingguo about the situation of the Qing army.

"Boom them with a mortar!" Li Dingguo ordered.

The mortar cannon in the hands of the Great Western Army made a roar, and the flowering shells filled with gunpowder rose into the air and landed in the dense formation of the Qing army. Amid the explosion, the flames rose, shrapnel and iron beads shot everywhere, and the Qing soldiers screamed and fell down.

The mortar cannon bombarded three rounds in a row, and the Qing soldiers did not dare to assemble at all. Then, the giant siege cannon roared again, and a piece of city wall collapsed in the flying dust.

"Kill!" The soldiers of the Western Army shouted and rushed into the gap.

The mortar cannon continued to bombard and launched a fierce shelling at the Qing army that was trying to gather at the gap. Then one after another, the tower-looking cars and the well railing cars approached, and the arrows and projectiles on the vehicles shot down like rain, killing the Qing army at the city and at the gap fell one by one.

The Daxi Sabre player and the spearmen rushed through the moat that had been filled before and broke into the gap.

The Qing soldiers who were bombarded by flowering artillery shells, and were hit by bird guns, bows and arrows and flintlocks, were unable to form formations. As a result, they could not resist the impact of the Western Army.

"Press up and block it! The gap must be blocked, and no thief can be allowed to come in!" Zhao Liangdong yelled at the top of his lungs.

"Kill!" The Daxi Army also shouted and launched an attack in the other directions. They carried the simple cloud ladder and the simple trench bridge, rushed to the edge of the moat, lowered the trench bridge, rushed across the trench bridge, quickly built a simple cloud ladder, and rushed to the top of the city.

The Qing army was busy blocking the gap and insufficient troops. It was soon climbed onto the city wall by the Daxi Army.

Although the Daxi Army that climbed to the city were all cannon fodder soldiers composed of refugees, bandits and prisoners, they were very brave in the battle, and they all rushed desperately without fear of death. The people in front fell down, and the people behind them stepped on the bodies of the dead, and continued to rush with simple spears, stabbed a sharp wooden spear or bamboo spear into the bodies of the Qing soldiers until they fell down. Then the Daxi Army's knife player and crossbowman also followed, followed the cannon fodder soldiers, and rushed back and forth at the city.

More and more Daxi troops were attacking the city, and the Qing soldiers in the city shouted in horror and turned to flee.

"The city is broken! The city is broken!" The fierce battle reached this point, and the Qing soldiers had completely lost their fighting spirit.

"Hurry up, let the detained people out and we will get into them and escape!" a more sensible general shouted.

"But sir, if the common people report us, then we will die?" asked a Qing soldier.

The man always roared: "If we let the people go, we will make contributions and even if we are captured, we will not be killed!"

The Qing soldiers opened the gate of the yard where Zhao Liangdong held the people and released them, making Zhao Liangdong's plan to save his life in the end.

Not only did the Qing soldiers of the Green Camp let the people go and give themselves a chance to survive, but even Ai Xinga was persuading the Eight Banners soldiers of the Zhenglan Banner to lay down their weapons and surrender.

"Brothers, as long as you put down your weapons, there is still a way out. Even if Prince Yu was captured by the Ming army, he was not killed and he still lived well. I heard that he was sent overseas to kill people. You should surrender quickly!" Ai Xinga didn't want the Eight Banners soldiers under his command to die with him, so he advised the soldiers to put down their weapons and surrender.

"Sir, what about you?" asked a soldier.

"I am a loyal minister and not the second master. I still have my family in the capital. If I surrender, my family will be in trouble. So I am different from you. I must not surrender!" After saying that, Ai Xinga pulled out his knife, turned the blade, and pointed it at his neck. The Goshhas wanted to stop him, but they didn't stop him. They could only watch Ai Xinga's blood rushing down heavily.

"Get out and fight against the bandits!" A Goshha pulled out his knife with red eyes and shouted.

"Put down the knife quickly! If we die, wouldn't our master die in vain? He wants us to survive!" another Goshha shouted.

Besides, Zhao Liangdong was still resisting stubbornly. He hid in a large courtyard with a group of servants. This courtyard was the courtyard of a wealthy family. The family was originally a gentry in Chengdu. When the Western Army came, they fled. Later, when the Qing army came, the gentry returned to Chengdu with the Qing army.

Who knew that at this time, the Qing soldiers took their family hostage in turn!
