Chapter 1117 Breaking Chengdu City!
Just when Zhang Hui was somewhat hesitant, the number of Sichuan and Shu soldiers around the garrison was still increasing. Seeing this, Cai Yaozu on the side could not help but say:

"General, these Sichuan soldiers are here with knives and guns and have ill intentions. If we don't make a decisive move, we will suffer the consequences..."

Listening to Cai Yaozu's words, Zhang Hui frowned and said:

"But if we start now, what will happen to our plan? Ye Dayong and the others are planning to meet us at the west gate?"

Cai Yaozu also said anxiously upon hearing this:

"General, forgive me for being blunt, judging from the current situation, Hu Fei has most likely discovered something. Ding Li at the west gate has definitely been captured by Hu Fei. It is impossible for General Ye to lead the main force to attack from the west gate!"

Hearing what Cai Yaozu said, Zhang Hui's face darkened. Of course he had already considered what Cai Yaozu said, but he still had a glimmer of hope in his heart!
But now Cai Yaozu's words undoubtedly shattered Zhang Hui's fantasy. Feeling the change in Zhang Hui's expression, Cai Yaozu's mind worked quickly and then said:
"General, listen to me. There are about 5,000 people surrounding us now, but it won't be difficult as long as we fight hard to break out. Our base is only five streets away from the north city gate. Let's break out directly in the direction of the north city gate and open it. I believe General Ye will understand what we mean!"

“As long as General Ye leads his troops to arrive, the overall situation can still be settled…”

Cai Yaozu's words immediately made Zhang Hui's eyes light up. Then he nodded heavily at Cai Yaozu without hesitation and said:
'Brother Yaozu, just do as you say!'

As Zhang Hui made the decision, the order to take action was quickly issued to every soldier, and the Fengwu Army soldiers in the entire camp began to prepare for battle.

At this time, the Sichuan-Shu Army soldiers trapped outside the camp also noticed the changes in the soldiers of the 15th Division in the camp, and they all gathered together and were ready for battle.
After a cup of tea, the thousand Fengwu Army soldiers in the camp completed their battle preparations. General Zhang Hui also put on armor and looked at the Sichuan Army lined up outside the camp. He felt the black muzzles of their muskets and the cold light of their swords and spears. Zhang Hui no longer had any hope in his heart!

Taking a deep breath, Zhang Hui slowly drew out the sword in his hand and shouted:

"Fengwu Army!"

"mighty!"

More than a thousand Fengwu Army soldiers roared in unison in response to Zhang Hui. As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Hui swung his sword and rushed to the front. Behind him, more than a thousand Fengwu Army soldiers also followed their general and charged into battle!
Feeling the momentum of these Fengwu soldiers like a tiger out of a cage, the generals of the Sichuan Army immediately ordered their musketeers to pull the trigger. The next second, a burst of white smoke rose and dozens of Fengwu soldiers who were in the front fell down immediately.

However, the fall of their comrades did not affect the speed of the Fengwu Army’s charge. They still charged forward fearlessly. Seeing this, the Sichuan Army generals immediately wanted to order the musketeers to launch a second round of attack, using blood and death to break the Fengwu Army’s momentum...
But unfortunately, a considerable number of firearms in the hands of these Sichuan troops were outdated three-barreled guns and bird guns, and the rest were second-hand muskets that were bought from nowhere, with poor firing rate and accuracy.

So even though the Sichuan Army's musketeers tried very hard to load the gunpowder, by the time the soldiers of the 11th Division rushed in front of them, they still had not completed the loading of the gunpowder!

The two sides immediately engaged in close combat. Although the number of soldiers of the 11th Division was far less than that of the other side, each of them was wearing cotton armor and holding a sharp blade.

On the other hand, only one out of ten Sichuan Army soldiers had armor to protect themselves, and the quality of their weapons was not good either. When the swords of both sides collided, almost every strike left a gap.

In addition to weapons and armor, there is also a gap in the fighting will of the two sides. Those who followed Zhang Hui into Chengdu were the elite of the 15th Division, basically veteran elite soldiers transferred from various units of the Second Army. These people have been through hundreds of battles with the Fengwu Army, have rich combat experience, and are extremely powerful!
The most important thing is that they know that even if they are killed in battle, the Fengwu Army will take good care of their families and hand over the rewards and pensions they deserve to their families!
Therefore, they have no worries and are not afraid of dying in battle. On the contrary, they are looking forward to establishing merit in the battle and enjoying the glory of being the winner.························
Although the Sichuan-Shu Army has a large number of people, a considerable number of them are new recruits recruited by Song Weijie to fight against the Fengwu Army. Many of them were farmers, waiters in restaurants, and workers in salt fields a few months ago!
However, due to Song Weijie's massive recruitment of soldiers, the finances of the Sichuan-Shu Army had collapsed. The army could not even pay their soldiers' salaries, and even had two bland meals a day, not to mention the pensions for those who died in battle.

Although the soldiers of the Fengwu Army were very brave and everyone was fighting forward at this time, the Sichuan Army had several times more people than them, and each soldier of the Fengwu Army had to face three or four enemy troops.

Under such circumstances, the situation is still in a stalemate for a while. At this time, it depends on the fighting will of both sides. Whoever has a firmer and stronger will, who can grit his teeth and hold on, will win the war!
While the two sides were fighting desperately, Hu Fei was living a life of drunkenness and debauchery with several of his concubines in the magnificent mansion in the city. Looking at the shy expressions of his concubines, the general who was born a salt merchant laughed with great complacency.

Although Hu Fei took precautions against the Fengwu Army and did not allow the entire 15th Division to enter Chengdu, he did not expect that the Fengwu Army really wanted to kill him!
But God has mercy on me, and Buddha blesses me. Ding Li, who was bribed by the Coordination Office, drank and played mahjong with others last night. He spent all his money and was ridiculed by his colleagues. In order to save face, he said in a rage that the Fengwu Army will enter the city and kill them all...

As soon as Ding Li finished speaking, someone informed Hu Fei. At first, Hu Fei thought that Ding Li was just speaking in anger, but he still called Ding Li over, wanting to teach him a lesson. However, he didn't expect that he only needed to scare Ding Li, and the boy was so scared that he confessed everything!
Only then did Hu Fei realize that his father, the Fengwu Army, ostensibly wanted him to get promoted and make money, but in reality they wanted to get rid of him!

This also made Hu Fei very angry. Hu Fei immediately had someone capture Liu Baichuan who had promised him promotion and wealth. He wanted to skin this bastard and let him know the consequences of deceiving him!
In addition to sending people to capture Liu Baichuan, Hu Fei also immediately mobilized the Sichuan Army in the city to deal with Zhang Hui's troops stationed in the city. At that time, Hu Fei, a rough man, was very fortunate that he only allowed Zhang Hui to lead a thousand people into Rongcheng. Otherwise, if he allowed the entire 15th Division to enter Rongcheng, he would probably have been killed long ago!

After giving the order, Hu Fei started to have fun with his concubine again. In his opinion, there were only one thousand Fengwu troops and some spies from the General Coordination Office in the city, while he had more than 20,000 Sichuan troops!
Therefore, killing these Fengwu troops in the city is as easy as crushing a stink bug. As long as these damn stink bugs are killed, with the solidity of Rongcheng and tens of thousands of young and strong men in the city, the Fengwu troops outside the city can only be helpless and cannot do anything to Hu Fei!
For Hu Fei, today is the day to live, for a gangster like him who has long tied his head to his belt, living one more day is earning, so why would he care about other things·······························

Just when Hu Fei was about to get on the horse after being teased by his concubine, his confidant Lu Kun hurried over to report: "Sir, this damn Liu Baichuan is very well-informed. When we rushed to his residence, he had already fled. We only found a few minions from the General Coordination Office!"

"These little minions knew nothing, so I killed them all in a rage. Sir, do you think we should search the whole city?"

"I think that Liu Baichuan, the damned one, has no wings on his back. He must still be in the city. As long as you give the order, I will find him and skin him alive even if I have to dig three feet underground!"

After listening to the report from his subordinates, Hu Fei's originally good mood took a sharp turn for the worse, and he immediately greeted Liu Baichuan's entire family cordially!
However, after Hu Fei patted his bald head to calm down, he also realized that the current priority was not to catch Liu Baichuan, so he waved his hand and said:

"There is no rush for Lu Kun to capture Liu Baichuan. We can let him go for now. He can't escape. How is the suppression of the Fengwu Army in the parade ground going?"

Facing Hu Fei's question, Lu Kun scratched his head and thought for a while before saying:
"I was busy catching Liu Baichuan just now, and didn't pay much attention to the situation at the parade ground. I only know that Huang Zhenyu brought 5,000 people to deal with those Fengwu troops!"

“I heard that although this Fengwu Army is small in number, they are very brave. They seem to be trying to break out of the north gate. However, Huang Zhenyu has 5,000 people, which is more than five times the number of the Fengwu Army. I think it should be no problem to kill this Fengwu Army…”

Hearing Lu Kun's words, Hu Fei's eyelids suddenly jumped and he had a bad feeling in his heart. He immediately instructed Lu Kun:

"Immediately dispatch 5,000 soldiers from the east gate to support Huang Zhenyu. You must destroy this Fengwu Army as soon as possible. Tell the soldiers below that I will reward you five taels of silver for killing one Fengwu Army soldier. As long as you kill all these damn Fengwu Army soldiers, I will reward you handsomely!"

As soon as the word "reward" came out, Lu Kun's triangular eyes suddenly showed a hint of greed. He immediately patted his chest and promised Hu Fei:
"Sir, I will take people there right now! Don't worry, sir, it will be easy for me, Lu Kun, to kill all these Fengwu soldiers!"

Seeing Lu Kun's confident look, Hu Fei felt relieved. However, before Lu Kun could even leave the room, a messenger came over in a panic and said:
"Sir, the Fengwu Army at the parade ground has severely defeated General Huang's troops. Even General Huang died tragically at their hands. The North Gate has been seized by them, and the Fengwu Army outside the city has already entered the city from the North Gate!"

After hearing this, Hu Fei was stunned at first, and then he suddenly felt dizzy, his eyes went dark and he fell to the ground. Hu Fei's fall immediately caused everyone to fall into chaos, and looking at the chaos in front of them, Lu Kun, who was clamoring to kill all the Fengwu Army just now, was dumbfounded!
Knowing that Hu Fei's situation was hopeless, he took advantage of the chaos to escape, thinking that the best strategy was to run away...

Yijing, Ye Mansion

At 9:00 p.m., hearing the noise in the yard, Murong Qingwu slowly woke up with a frown on her brows. Compared to the last time she was pregnant with Ke Xin, this time, because of her family's expectations and some other factors, Murong Qingwu was under great psychological pressure!
The great mental pressure also caused Murong Qingwu to turn off the lights and go to bed before 11:00 every day, but she would not really close her eyes and fall asleep until the fifth watch.

The noise in the yard woke up Murong Qingwu, who had just fallen asleep. Murong Qingwu felt furious, but her self-cultivation prevented her from venting her anger.

She was woken up and slowly stood up and sat at the head of the bed. After half a cup of tea, when the noise outside the room disappeared, Murong Qingwu asked:

"Yinger!"

Hearing Murong Qingwu's shout, her personal maid Ying'er immediately rushed to Murong Qingwu's side.

"Madam, you are awake!"

Murong Qingwu heard this and asked calmly:
"What happened in the yard just now? Why is it so noisy?"

Listening to Murong Qingwu's words, Ying'er also understood her wife's thoughts, and immediately said apologetically:

"Just now, the old lady asked Aunt Liu to bring us some supplements and rewards. She originally wanted to see you, Madam, but I saw that you were still asleep, so I exchanged a few words with her. My voice was a little loud, so I'm sorry for disturbing you, Madam!"

"Ying Er will be more careful next time! This kind of thing won't happen again!"

Murong Qingwu was still a little grumpy after being woken up, but when she heard that it was Ye Cui who sent someone to deliver supplements to her, she was still very happy and asked immediately:
"What are the supplements that were sent?"

Ying Er said without hesitation:
"Three boxes of donkey-hide gelatin cakes, a ten-year-old ginseng, bird's nests, thirty rolls of silk, and several jade ornaments!"

Murong Qingwu was a little disappointed when she heard this. Although the value of these things was not low, they did not meet Murong Qingwu's expectations!
When she was pregnant with Ke Xin, the reward that Ye Cui gave her was almost this configuration. After a few years, there was no change at all···················
