Chapter 800 The Troops Arrive in Chengdu

The total number of soldiers stationed in Mianzhu Pass was only 7,000, and some of them were Mengda's subordinates. For a while, the Yizhou army was divided into two groups and fought. At this moment, more than 8,000 Liangzhou troops took advantage of the situation and rushed into Guanzhong. The Yizhou army in the pass was caught off guard.

Although the Yizhou Army in the pass was determined to persist, the more than 8,000 Liangzhou Army were like wolves and tigers. When they saw the Yizhou soldiers, they rushed forward to fight with gnashing teeth. Both morale and numbers were far superior to the Yizhou Army. After a period of time, During the battle, the Liangzhou army finally took control of the situation and captured most of the Yizhou soldiers.

"Last General Meng Da, I have heard about General Zhang's reputation for a long time. It is a great honor to meet him today!"

Meng Da fisted Zhang Jia, looking quite excited.

He opened his jaw and smiled and nodded: "Meng Zhechong abandoned the secret and turned to the bright side. The general will definitely be rewarded in the future."

"But Meng Zhechong still needs to do some work on these Yizhou soldiers to stop them from making trouble." Zhang Jia added.

"Please rest assured, General Zhang. I am obliged to do so."

There are more than 4,000 prisoners of the Yizhou Army in Mianzhu Pass. Naturally, they cannot be killed in one go. Zhang Jia thought about it and decided that it would not be appropriate to leave them in Mianzhu Pass. If he took the opportunity to seize the pass, wouldn't he and his army be in trouble? No place left? Therefore, they had no choice but to let Meng Da persuade them that it would be best if they could surrender. If they were unwilling to surrender, they could only lock them up first and talk about it later.

Meng Da had little reputation among the Yizhou army, and some prisoners were willing to surrender. However, half of the Yizhou soldiers still despised Meng Da's surrender, so they would rather be imprisoned than surrender.

Night, indoors.

"Meng Zhechong, do you think that if I lead my troops to take Chengdu, will Liu Jiyu open the door and surrender?"

He stared at Meng Da with open jaws and asked.

Meng Da heard the words, thought for a moment, and replied: "General Zhang, please forgive me, Liu Zhang is a mediocre and weak man. Naturally, he was at a loss when he learned that the general's heavenly soldiers had descended from the gods. It is not impossible to open the city gate. However, don't drive Huang Quan, Shi Zhong Wang Lei and others are loyal ministers and wise men, and there are still more than ten thousand troops in Chengdu, so they will definitely advise Liu Zhang to defend behind closed doors."

Zhang Jia nodded: "It doesn't matter. Even if Liu Zhang doesn't surrender, as long as our army surrounds Chengdu and Zhang Ren in Jiange cannot get food and grass, he will have to retreat sooner or later. Our army's strategic purpose will be achieved."

"The general is wise." Meng Da praised.

"In this case, leave a thousand sergeants to guard the pass. Tomorrow I will go out with Meng Zhechong to fight to the gates of Chengdu as soon as possible."

Zhang Jia actually looked down on Meng Da, a seller seeking glory, but Zhang Jia was a good person, so naturally he would not show his disdain on his face. He opened his mouth to ask Meng Da before, also to test whether he was loyal, but Meng Da was quite organized in his conversation, and it seemed that at least he was still of the same mind for now.

Meng Da naturally nodded in agreement.

On the second day, Zhang Zha left a thousand Liangzhou troops to guard Mianzhu Pass and asked them to stay and take care of the injured soldiers. At the same time, in order to guard the captured Yizhou troops, he ordered more than 8,000 troops and horses (the injured soldiers who crossed the Yinping Trail Already entering the pass), as well as 3,000 Yizhou troops under Meng Da (who were willing to surrender), a total of more than 11,000 troops and horses, rushed to Chengdu.

The newly surrendered Yizhou soldiers must stay with them. Staying in Mianzhu Pass is equivalent to a time bomb. In case of rebellion, open the cage and release the captured Yizhou soldiers. The thousand Liangzhou soldiers in the pass will Although brave, they are certainly no match for the 7,000 Yizhou Army.

As for the mere 3,000 Yizhou surrendered troops, it was nothing to take them with him. After all, there were nearly 8,000 people under Zhang Zha's command. Even if the Yizhou army rebelled and bombed the camp, they could still control it.

More than 11,000 soldiers and horses marched towards Chengdu from Mianzhu Pass, but within one day they could already see the outline of Chengdu city.

As the capital of Yizhou, Chengdu has been surrounded by thousands of miles of fertile land since Li Bing and his son built Dujiangyan during the Warring States Period, making it the most prosperous city in Sichuan. Even the Yellow Turban Rebellion during Emperor Ling's reign had not affected Yizhou. Therefore, although Chengdu did not close its doors at night, it was still very stable, so the city gates on all sides were wide open.

People outside the city lined up and walked towards the city gate. A few guards stood by listlessly. Suddenly they felt the ground shaking slightly and couldn't help but look forward.

Boom!

All I saw was a black rush in the distance, and I could vaguely hear the shouts of killing and the sound of war drums combined together to form a terrifying wave. If this wave swept into the city, the consequences would naturally be Unthinkable.

The gatekeeper at the north gate of Chengdu changed his expression and hurriedly shouted: "There is an enemy invasion, close the city gate quickly!"

"Close the city gate quickly!"

The guards outside a few doors hurriedly turned around and ran away. Some smart people also rushed in, but most of them didn't react until the two city gates slowly closed. He rushed into the city in panic.

"Open the door, we haven't gone in yet."

"Don't close the door, don't close the door!"

The people below the city were all Yizhou people. They were beating the city gates and shouting with sad expressions. The guards on top of the city couldn't help but feel a little unbearable. They said to the gatekeeper: "Menhou, please open the city gate and let them in?"

"Let them in? You're a very light-hearted boy!"

The gatekeeper was furious, blowing his beard and glaring: "If we open the city gate, what if the enemy troops outside the city rush in? Can you bear this responsibility?"

"The enemy troops rushed into the city, burned, killed, looted, killed your wife and children, and took away your property. Are you willing?"

The gatekeeper reprimanded the guard, and then shouted to the city: "Listen carefully, don't gather here. Go and beg for your life quickly. When the enemy comes over, you won't have a chance to escape even if you want to." ”

When the people outside the city gate saw that the defenders at the top of the city were unwilling to open the city gate no matter what, they had no choice but to evacuate one after another. However, there was an old woman with inconvenient legs and feet who could not walk fast.

The old man said helplessly: "My child, please leave quickly and don't worry about me. I have lived for more than fifty years, which is worth it. You are still young and cannot die here."

The person supporting him was a young man with a dark face. He cried: "Even if the army comes, they will die together at most. How can the child leave his mother here alone and escape by himself?"

The old man sighed and touched his son's face lovingly: "In that case, let me, mother and son, be companions together."

While they were talking, the vanguard soldiers and horses of the Liangzhou Army came over with great force, their black clothes and black armor sweeping in like a black wave.

The army commander in the van could not help but frown when he saw the mother and son.

"What are you doing here? Leave quickly!"
