What is Gao Wengui doing?
He did not stop the people from looting the silver, but cried!
"Brother, keep an eye on it for a while while I go to pee." A Ming soldier said to his comrade as he walked towards the bottom of the city wall.
"What a coincidence. I want to go too."
"Let's go, let's go together!" More than a dozen defenders stood up and were about to walk towards the city.
"Stop right there!" The most senior general on the wall walked out slowly. "Don't think I don't know what you guys are up to! We are the Ming army. How can we do this?"
"A few of you go and help pick up the silver, and the rest of you stay alert." After saying that, the Ming army general walked towards the city wall.
Amid envious eyes, more than 20 Ming soldiers came to the outside of the city, helping to pick up the trash and stuffing it into their pockets.
Although Qin Liangyu had just reissued their military pay, these people were already tired of being poor.
When I see silver, I want to take it!
What's more, merchants have a bad reputation to begin with, so what's wrong with taking some silver?
As they stuffed more and more loose change into their pockets, the remaining defenders on the city wall could no longer bear it and came outside the city in groups of three or five to "help".
The Dashi Army soldiers disguised as members of the horse caravan seemed to be pacifying the mules and horses, but in fact they were moving towards the city gate.
When they were not far from the city gate, one of them pulled out a dagger from the package on the side of the mule and stabbed the horse's butt with the sword.
The rest followed suit.
The mules and horses were frightened again, and more than a hundred mules and horses ran around Sichuan in panic, creating an extremely chaotic scene.
Taking advantage of the chaos, more than a hundred people rushed into the city gate with knives.
At the same time, on the mountain road not far outside the city, countless Dashi soldiers came charging towards them waving their weapons.
Everything happened so quickly that by the time they reacted, the city gate had been controlled by the Dashi Army.
In fact, Li Dingguo and Gao Wengui over-complicated the matter. It would not be so troublesome to capture Wulong. As long as the army surrounded it, the defenders would most likely surrender.
Because when they appeared here, it meant that Fuling had been lost.
There is no point in continuing to defend.
After marching three hundred miles in two days, the army was extremely exhausted.
However, Gao Wengui did not make any repairs. Instead, he looted weapons and food in the city and ordered the defenders to open the sluice gates and take over the warships.
When the warships entered the Wujiang River, Gao Wengui started to grab and snatch.
Merchant ship?
Rob!
Civilian ship?
Rob!
As long as it is a boat that can accommodate people, grab it first.
In just half a day, the ships he seized were enough to accommodate five thousand troops.
After a night's rest.
Gao Wengui led five thousand elite troops, boarded dozens of boats and sailed downstream along the Wujiang River, rushing towards Wangjiang Pass!
