When the news of Dang Shousu crossing the river was sent back to Li Laiheng, the commander of the Kuidong Army frowned. He didn't say anything to Dang Shousu's envoy, but after the reporter left, he couldn't help but complain: "Didn't you say you want to oppress Lu Chou to retreat? What's been said, why did you change your mind as soon as you go to the battlefield?"

Originally, letting Yuan Zongdi follow Dang Shousu was to let the steadily faction watch the radical faction. After discovering the flaws of the Qing army, Dang Shousu immediately launched an attack, but Yuan Zongdi was unwilling to make a rash move. After dragging on for a whole day without seeing the Qing army sending reinforcements, Dang Shousu could not hold back and launched an offensive without waiting for Yuan Zongdi to cooperate. Until Dang Shousu took the Qing army camp next to the Jialing River, Yuan Zongdi did not cross the river.

However, Liu Tichun, on the other side of the Yangtze River, didn't know what happened. He saw a fire ignited in the night and heard a shout of killing. He knew that the Ming army had crossed the river. Suddenly, Liu Tichun didn't understand why Yuan Zongdi suddenly crossed the river. He cared about his old comrades and hurriedly asked He Zhen to cover his retreat and took his headquarters across the Yangtze River to join the offensive troops. There were many Ming army ships on the Yangtze River. Liu Tichun crossed the river very quickly. After crossing the river, he found that it was just a group of Dangshousu, and neither Yuan Zongdi nor Wang Guangxing followed.

Liu Tichun and Dang Shousu's crossing forces combined had only 10,000 people. After urgently interrogating the prisoners, they learned that the strength in Chongqing was still very strong. Liu Tichun was afraid that the Qing army would go out to fight back, so he was busy deploying defense all night. But the next day, there was no movement in Chongqing. Seeing that there was a small Qing army camp by the river, they took it down.

After seizing the supplies from the Qing army camp, Dang Shousu seemed very proud: "I have said that the Tartars are vulnerable, right?"

The captured soldiers of the Shanxi Green Camp said that their commanders had been scolding the Gansu Green Camp since they left the city, saying that they were afraid of the enemy and were all cowards. At first, the Dang Shousu was also skeptical, but after a day, he basically believed this statement: the Ming army crossing the river was far less powerful than the Chongqing defenders. The Ming army had not yet established a stable foothold and blocked the Qing army's retreat and food routes, but in this way, the Qing army could not have the courage to go out of the city to counterattack.

Last night, when Dang Shousu crossed the river, he knew very well that he was taking risks. If the battle was not good, he would quickly retreat to the other side. When he deployed defense with Liu Tichun, they made an appointment. If the Qing army had a fierce offensive and friendly troops were not rushing for assistance in time, they would still have to retreat to the beachhead position and stay waiting for assistance. But now Dang Shousu no longer thinks so. After he brought out the food from the Qing army camp for the soldiers to have a big meal, he suggested that Liu Tichun march towards Chongqing side by side.

"It is indeed a group of defeated generals, and they are already shattered." Liu Tichun also felt that he seemed to have a high opinion of the strength of the Qing army. Thinking about what Dang Shousu said, Chongqing has been defeated repeatedly during the past few days. His son said in his letter that even generals like Wang Mingde have been released three times - if Wang Mingde was captured this time, Liu Tichun would probably not have much intention to kill him.

However, the troops in the hands of the two were only one-quarter of the Kuidong coalition, and they had not completely crossed the river. Liu Tichun felt that it was too rash to march to Chongqing with such a small amount of troops. While Dang Shousu was reporting the victory to Li Laiheng, Liu Tichun asked his men to inform Yuan Zongdi and He Zhen, asking them to give up their original plan and cross the river to join forces with him.

Liu Tichun had just sent an envoy, and Yuan Zongdi's messenger also crossed the Jialing River to meet the two generals. If the Qing army left the city to fight back, Yuan Zongdi suggested that they make way for a passage and still implement the previous plan of surrounding the Three Ques and One at the military meeting.

"I would be fine if Li Guoying had this courage." Dang Shousu snorted: "If he dared to leave the city, it would be great to surround the three que 1, but now he will be huddled in Chongqing and wait for death."

After seeing Liu Tichun's envoy, He Zhen quickly led his troops across the river to join forces with Liu Tichun and Dang Shousu, while Yuan Zongdi was still hesitating. Another day later, Liu Tichun and the other three began to approach the Chongqing city wall, and Wang Guangxing also sent someone to ask whether he needed to cross the river and launch an attack on Chaotianmen to restrain Chongqing's troops.

At this time, Li Laiheng was in a dilemma. Although Dang Shousu did not do it completely according to the plan, the other party's camp was obviously empty. Since the other party had flaws, it was impossible to say that it was wrong to fight. When Liu Tichun saw the war break out, he hurriedly crossed the river to help. On the other hand, Yuan Zongdi strictly followed the pre-plan and was very persistent in using troops. There was nothing unreasonable in saying that both sides now attacked Li Laiheng, making him the commander-in-chief judge. Li Laiheng felt that he had no sufficient reason to blame either party.

While the three generals crossing the river were arguing with Yuan Zongdi, their march towards Chongqing did not stop. After learning that the Ming army had approached the Chongqing city wall from the west, Li Laiheng felt it was necessary to modify the plan.

"General Liu, General Liu, General Dang sent the prisoners. I personally asked, the ugly Tartars in Chongqing are indeed timid. Since they were completely different from what we thought in advance, it is appropriate to change the original plan." Li Laiheng called Yuan Zongdi's subordinates and asked him to bring him back with a smile: "Our original plan was to let General Wang continue to stay on the other side of Chaotianmen and restrain some of the defending enemies. But now I think we can let General Wang cross the river together and let General Yuan replace General Wang's defense zone. I wonder what General Yuan thinks?"

After the rushing back envoy retelled Li Laiheng's words, Yuan Zongdi sighed and said to his left and right: "Dang Shousu has been yelling that the siege of the three Que and one will not succeed, and he also used the last failure of the siege of our Duke and Admiral Deng to siege Chongqing as a reason; but at this moment, at that moment, now Li Guoying is isolated and has no reinforcements to help him rescue him. As long as we have patience, he will definitely withdraw his troops. But now that everyone has crossed the river, how can I pull them back?"

Yuan Zongdi once again asked the envoy to reply to Li Laiheng, telling the other party that he would cross the river at a time and join everyone in the city of Chongqing. However, he told the envoy that he would never reveal his complaints to Li Laiheng.

After the envoy left, Yuan Zongdi asked his subordinates to prepare for crossing the river. He called the confidants of the main battalion. After the war in Zhongxian, the combat effectiveness of this army became more impressive. Yuan Zongdi also learned his lesson and kept the battalion at hand: "You know that I do not advocate crossing the river and do not want to force Li Guoying and his gang into a desperate situation. But General Liu is my brother and has been calling me eldest brother for many years; Li Hushuai is the commander this time and is also the junior of my husband; they are all fighting desperately by the city of Chongqing, so I must go."

The decision to keep Wang Guangxing on the other side of Chaotianmen was because he had a distant relationship with the camp. If Yuan Zongdi had changed positions with him, it would seem like he would not regard Wang Guangxing as his own member of the Kuidong Army. After the explanation was completed, Yuan Zongdi also brought his troops across the Jialing River. After he crossed the river, he saw Li Laiheng also commanding his troops to cross the Yangtze River.

More than 50,000 Ming troops, more than 40,000 people appeared at the western end of the Chongqing Peninsula in a blink of an eye, blocking the road leading to the Chongqing Peninsula to Baoning.

After seeing this scene, the Qing army in Chongqing City all looked solemn. Their armored soldiers were only half of the Ming army. The road was so narrow that it was undoubtedly a difficult task to break out of the thick Ming army's positions. Chongqing did not have a navy that could compete with the Ming army, so it was impossible to break through the water. A few days ago, when Liu Tichun just crossed the river, many people were anxious to launch a counterattack, but Li Guoying delayed and the Ganzhou-Shaanxi Green Camp also talked about it, resulting in missing the best opportunity to counterattack. Now Chongqing has become a dead place.

When Li Guoying was summoned today, many generals were still full of complaints and were slow to react to Li Guoying. However, before they erupted all these dissatisfactions, the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi admitted: "I deliberately let only one thousand green camp soldiers go out of the city to set up camp, just to attract the Kuidong thieves to cross the river and attack. I know that they will definitely not retreat honestly after they succeed. And I delayed the time in the past two days and did not agree to go out of the city to counterattack, because I didn't want to withdraw at all, so I hope that the Kuidong thieves would block the retreat soon."

Seeing that the generals of the Ganzhou-Shaanxi Green Camp were all calm, the people of the Manchu-Han Eight Banners and the Shanxi Green Camp immediately realized that these people were all accomplices.

Many people were about to spit out fire when they looked at Li Guoying. Sun Sick asked loudly: "Why does the Governor bully the public?"

"All the officers and soldiers in the city should understand that no one can survive if the city is broken." Li Guoying said calmly: "The art of war means: if you die, you will fight, and now Chongqing will be dead."

"Why didn't the Governor tell us clearly?" Although Sun Sike understood Li Guoying's thoughts, he was still extremely dissatisfied with him hiding it from him.

"This governor is indeed bullying the public," Li Guoying stood up and clasped his fists to the angry subordinates, "This is indeed my official's fault."

No one spoke, Sun Sike and others straightened their backs and received this gift from Li Guoying, and continued to stare at the other person's face.

"I have to make this bad decision because you can't trust me. The reason why I didn't hide it from them," Li Guoying pointed at Wang Mingde and others: "It's because they can trust me."

"Why can't we trust the Governor?" Sun Sick screamed unbearably.

"You can't believe that I can win this battle," Li Guoying replied calmly: "Isn't it?"

This rebellious question left Sun Sike and others with nothing to say. But Li Guoying continued: "Now I tell you to tell you bluntly and no longer deceive you. I also hope you can repay you. I believe that I will win this battle once."

Li Guoying announced his thoughts because he no longer worried that Sun Sick and the others knew their intentions, but they were worried that they doubted their judgment and could not execute every instruction with confidence.

Sun Sike smiled bitterly, looked back at the Shanxi generals and bannermen behind him. They all bowed their heads like defeated roosters. Sun Sike said to Li Guoying: "The life of the last general is handed over to the Governor. I just hope that the Governor will not hide it from the last general again in the future."

"Let me leave it to me," Li Guoying nodded: "I will definitely be intimate with you."
