"Boom boom boom!"

Ten thousand twenty-four years, October 20, Meridian Gate Square outside the Forbidden City

After three cannons were fired, under the watch of the emperor and a group of civil and military ministers on the Meridian Gate Tower, Wang Bing, the champion, led the army again with 20,000 feathered forest guards and 10,000 soldiers from the fifth army camp.

"Isn't it too few for the imperial court to send this few troops all the way to Bozhou to quell the rebellion?"

After reading the news about the imperial court's counter-rebellion in the newspapers, many people from the capital came to see him off spontaneously. When they saw that the imperial army's counter-rebellion army only numbered 30,000 people, they suddenly became a little worried.

"What nonsense are you talking about? This is only half of the counter-rebellion troops. The other half was sent out a few months ago..."

"Why are you talking nonsense? Except for the 20,000 Yulin Guards, the rest of the army that is going out this time are the Beijing Camp Army that has just been trained. This..."

"What happened to the Beijing Camp Army? The current Beijing Camp Army is not the same as before. It was re-trained by Champion Hou and Jing Hai Hou with the veteran Yulin Guards as the backbone. And don't forget, this expedition is still the champion.

Leading the troops!"

"That's right. Since the great victory in Bahrain in the ninth year of Wanli, there has never been a time when the champion has not won a battle. But we are just worrying here..."

Obviously, although the imperial court did not have many troops to fight the rebellion this time, the people were still full of confidence out of their trust in Habayashi Wei and Wang Bing, the champion.

Amidst the confident farewell of the common people of the capital, after passing through the Meridian Gate and leaving the Desheng Gate, the 30,000-strong army immediately divided into two groups.

Qi Xianzonghe and Li Fu each led 10,000 Lin Guards and five military camps to the south, while Wang Bing led 10,000 Lin Guards to Xi'an Prefecture via Zijin Pass. They planned to enter Sichuan via Hanzhong and head to Chongqing Prefecture.

…

"The imperial court killing my son is like cutting out my heart. This hatred is as great as heaven, and I will definitely retaliate!"

On the same day that Wang Bing led the army to the expedition, Bozhou Xuanwei Division Hailongtun, in front of a crowd of Bozhou Fifty-fourth, Eighth Route and Twelve Village officials and officers above the head and above who came to attend Yang Kedong's funeral, Yang Yinglong

He angrily announced his vow to avenge his son's murder.

"The imperial court does not have Bozhou, and there is no imperial court in Bozhou! A thousand lives for my lord, long live my lord!"

Just as Yang Yinglong finished speaking, the general manager He Tingyu shouted an even more explicit slogan.

"A thousand lives my lord, long live my lord!!!"

Under the leadership of He Tingyu, the general manager, all the officers in the audience, whether they were sincere or not, all shouted loudly. In the midst of these shouts, the valleys around Hailongtun suddenly echoed with even more grandiose sounds.

The cry of 'Long Live a Thousand Lives'.

"Kill Chongqing, take back your homeland, long live Bozhou!"

Amidst the echoes of "Long Live a Thousand Lives" echoing in the valley, Sun Shitai, Yang Yinglong's military advisor, also immediately shouted out his so-called "Twelve-Character Policy".

"Kill to Chongqing! Take back your homeland!! Long live Bozhou!!!"

Following the cry of "Long Live a Thousand Lives", the slogan of "Twelve-Character Policy" also instantly resounded throughout Hailongtun!

"Zhang Hanqing, Lou Guo listened to the order and ordered you to each lead 25,000 troops on the left and right flanks. They will detour from the left and right, and you and I will encircle Qijiang from the front in three ways!"

Amid the calls from the mountains, Yang Yinglong immediately issued an order to divide his troops into three groups and attack Qijiang, the gateway to Chongqing Prefecture.

…

"General Fang, there are many bandits in Bozhou, and there are only two thousand soldiers in Qijiang. Now we can only mobilize the young men of Hecheng to defend together, and at the same time send people to ask for help from the Beijing troops in Hejiang, Jiangjin and Nanchuan..."

On October 23, it only took three days for the 30,000 troops led by Yang Yinglong to successfully join forces with the 50,000 troops from the left and right wings in Qijiang. Then, the small Qijiang City was surrounded in an instant.

"The city has been besieged by thieves, how can we ask for help? For now, we can only try our best to delay, hoping that the Beijing camp troops stationed in Jiangjin will notice something strange and come to the rescue!"

Looking at the Bozhou rebels who had surrounded Qijiang outside the city, General Fang Jiachong could only smile bitterly and shake his head, not having any hope of not reporting the request for help.

There is no other way. Zhao Zilong's seven-in-one and seven-out Changban Slope is just a novel after all. Trying to break out of the enemy's encirclement and ask for help is tantamount to wishful thinking.

"What's more, even if the messenger we asked for help broke out, it would be too late now!"

Finally, looking at the Banzhou rebels outside the city who could not wait to carry the ladder, Fang Jiachong once again shook his head helplessly.

…

"puff!!!"

In the narrow alley, Fang Jiachong, who was covered in blood, had just slashed down a Bozhou soldier with his sword, but suddenly he felt a cold in his chest, and then he spurted out a mouthful of blood uncontrollably, and then his vision went dark and he fell.

Go down.

With 2,000 sergeants guarding a small county town and resisting 80,000 Boshu rebels, the outcome does not need to be imagined.

Under the fierce attack of 80,000 Bozhou Army, the small Qijiang City could not hold out for a day, and was soon defeated by Yang Yinglong's Bozhou Army.

"Send the order, if the soldiers and civilians of Qijiang dare to hurt our soldiers, none of them will be spared!"

With the fall of Qijiang City, angry at the previous resistance of Qijiang soldiers and civilians, Yang Yinglong's first order after entering the city was to massacre the city!

"My lord, the most important thing for us right now is not to waste time here, but to seize the opportunity to attack Jiangjin and Luzhou. As long as we capture these two places, Chongqing and Chengdu will be at our fingertips. When the time comes, we will use the King of Shu as a hostage to negotiate with the court. We are not afraid.

If the imperial court does not agree to my lord’s conditions, it will not be impossible for him to become a true semi-emperor by then..."

Seeing that Yang Yinglong did not want to take advantage of the situation to capture Jiangjin as soon as possible at this time, but instead ordered a massacre of the city to vent his anger, Sun Shitai, a military advisor, quickly spoke out to advise.

"Needless to say, military advisor, there's nothing to worry about in a small Jiangjin. It won't be too late to attack once you have this tone!"

Angry at the loss of nearly 5,000 Bozhou rebels due to the resistance of Qijiang soldiers and civilians, Yang Yinglong, who had always been violent and cruel, could not listen to Sun Shitai's "good advice" at this moment and insisted on massacring Qijiang City first and then attacking Jiangjin.

That night, under the bloodbath of Yang Yinglong's troops, Qijiang City's stench filled the sky with loud wails. The water of Qijiang River was filled with the corpses of the people who were killed by the Bozhou Army and thrown into the river, and the entire lower reaches of the river turned red.

By daybreak, except for some young women who were insulted by the Bozhou Army, there was no one alive in the huge Qijiang City!

However, even so, these rebels, who had been completely reduced to beasts, did not let these poor women go. Some rebels even caught snakes and insects for fun, stuffed them into the lower bodies of these insulted women, and then burned the snakes with fire.

It penetrates...

In order to plunder property, these rebels did not even spare the graves. All the Han graves outside Qijiang City, as long as they were remotely decent, were dug up, and the corpses were burned and discarded everywhere.

It can be said that the crimes committed by Yang Yinglong and the Bozhou rebels were no worse than those of the Japanese in the original history.

It's just that people are doing it, and God is watching. It's not that they won't retaliate, but the time has not yet come. What Yang Yinglong and the Bozhou rebels don't know at this moment is how serious the crimes they committed in Qijiang will bring to Bozhou.

Catastrophic consequences.

"Someone, burn this Qijiang City to me!"

On October 25th, Yang Yinglong, who had committed numerous crimes in Qijiang, sent troops to transport the plundered property back to Bozhou, and then attacked Jiangjin again! Before leaving, he did not forget to release a bomb in Qijiang City.
