Half a month after the Kuidong Army left Chongqing, the place basically returned to normal. The generals of the Qing army believed that the Ming army was unable to launch a large-scale attack on Chongqing again within at least half a year.

While praising the wisdom of the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi, the generals held a celebration banquet. In addition to Li Guoying celebrating the generals, the generals also had to reward their soldiers for their merits. Although the Qing army suffered heavy losses in this battle, they had the right to clean the battlefield, so they seized some equipment, which was not without a small boost in the eyes of the generals of the Qing army. The Qing army also captured thousands of Ming army prisoners, all of which were calculated by Yuan Zongdi and others to be reduced in total. Regardless of whether the Qing army offered prisoners to the Qing court, generally speaking, if there was no captive, they would probably not offer prisoners; but as long as these prisoners did not surrender, they would be killed, or used as coolies, and would still die after being tortured.

When the generals brought the soldiers to repair the gap in the city wall, Li Guoying returned to the back house to rest. Since the battle in Zhongxian County, his health has been getting better and worse. During this fierce battle, Li Guoying had no problems at that time because of excitement, but when the enemy retreated, he could no longer hold on because of overdrawing his energy.

"I missed my whole life, but I always couldn't live without bed when I was old." Li Guoying said to his concubine sadly. He was able to ride and shoot with good shooting before, but this year, not to mention riding horses and shooting archery, he would have a headache after working for a long time.

While Li Guoying was comfortably tasting tea and reading a book, Gao Mingzhan came to ask for a meeting again.

"What's the matter?" Li Guoying asked with a frown. Seeing Governor Gao's appearance, Li Guoying couldn't help but feel a little shocked, and he couldn't help guessing: "Is it because western Sichuan gave Kuidong thieves food, and they are back?"

"I'm back, I'm back!" Gao Mingzhan shouted in a stack of voices.

"What a panic? How many Kuidong thieves have come back?" Although it was beyond Li Guoying's expectations, he felt that the Qing army in Chongqing had been resting for more than ten days. The Kuidong army was defeated and there was no way to take Chongqing. The Kuidong army probably hadn't even arrived in Zhongxian County, so why did he return again?

"It's not the thief of Kuidong, it's Deng Ming who is back!" Gao Mingzhan shouted with a sad face.

Li Guoying heard that Deng Ming went to Myanmar. However, it was said that Deng Ming went to Yunnan last time, but suddenly he returned and caught Li Guoying off guard. So Li Guoying has not been able to sleep well for the past six months, for fear that Deng Ming would come to Chongqing again to wander around.

But Deng Ming was tactfully not causing trouble in this Chongqing battle. When interrogating the captives of Kuidong Army, they also confessed that Deng Ming had indeed gone to Myanmar for a long time and wanted to rescue the Emperor Yongli. After hearing that Deng Ming left his foundation and went to the barren land of Myanmar - in the impression of Qing soldiers, Myanmar was almost a barren mountain without any grass - many people praised Li Guoying: I didn't realize that Deng Ming was really a loyal minister.

Although Li Guoying was very confident when facing the Kuidong Army, he never lost hope of victory even if the situation was dangerous, he had another mentality for Deng Ming. For example, when he was cheated and defeated twenty miles, Li Guoying was still shocked when he recalled it and asked himself that he absolutely did not have such command ability.

"How many people did Deng Ming bring?" Li Guoying was lost for a moment. After coming to his senses, he bounced off the chair and put his military uniform and armor on his body. Finally, he inserted a dagger into his boots.

"I don't know either."

Gao Mingzhan had just visited Futu Pass and suddenly heard the officers and soldiers of the Green Camp in an uproar. Gao Mingzhan looked in the direction everyone pointed, and found a group of ships from western Sichuan were sailing against the wind and waves toward Chongqing. It is very easy to distinguish between ships from western Sichuan and merchant ships. Other ships are all planted with pennants, but there are unique red four-sided flags on the merchant ships in western Sichuan, and there are also general flags on the military ships. After working with western Sichuan for so long, Gao Mingzhan and Chongqing defenders could recognize most of the general flags at a glance. Today, what Gao Mingzhan saw was the mahjong plaque flag - Deng Ming's boat had three flags: the red four-sided flag representing the Ming regime in western Sichuan, the blue striped red flag representing the western Sichuan Navy and the three-wall military flag.

"Deng Ming's four-sided flag is not wrong." In fact, the military flag of the Three Walls is not Deng Ming's general flag, but since this army has always been Deng Ming's personal bodyguard, the Qing army regarded it as a symbol of Deng Ming; and the Ming army was similar. As long as you see the Three Walls, you will know that Deng Ming has arrived.

When Li Guoying walked up to the city, he saw a large number of green camp soldiers shouting and running back towards Chongqing City. These people were all sent troops to repair the Futu Pass. After recognizing Deng Ming's flag, they were panicked first, and then looked for the governor of Sichuan, hoping that Gao Futai could add some confidence to everyone. Unexpectedly, after Gao Mingzhan saw that it was Deng Ming's flag, he left everyone without saying a word, rode a fast horse and went straight to Chongqing, looking for confidence and comfort to Li Guoying.

After discovering that the Sichuan governor was the first to escape, no one was willing to stay at Futu Pass and wait for death? When Li Guoying climbed the city tower, these Qing soldiers had just run back to Chongqing. Their panic shouts suddenly caused chaos. In less than a quarter of an hour, Chongqing was rumored that Deng Ming brought his army to siege him again.

The Ming army ships rushed along the Yangtze River calmly. When Deng Ming's ship landed within the view of the Jintangmen Tower, Wang Mingde and others rushed over, and each of them sweated on their foreheads, as if they were facing a great enemy.

Looking at these disheveled subordinates, Li Guoying coughed and glared at Wang Mingde fiercely. The latter claimed guilty and tidied up his helmet, feeling that he was wearing it quite well; but Li Guoying had no intention of letting him go, and glared at him again.

Hu Wenke behind him poked Wang Mingde in the waist and whispered: "Wang Shuai, your thing is about to fall."

Wang Mingde hurriedly looked at the hem of the armor and found that most of the release coupon was exposed. He was too nervous when he went out just now. He hurriedly put his permanent release coupon into his arms and led his personal soldiers over angrily. Since Deng Ming was here, he must not be careless. Who knows if he still has the chance to go back to his camp, and this release coupon must be hidden close to his body to be relieved.

The leaked release voucher attracted the attention of many people around him. Wang Mingde hurriedly grabbed it in his hand and put it back in his arms. Li Guoying then withdrew his gaze and took everyone to observe the movements of the Ming army.

"Wang Shuai, this is not good. What if the thing falls off? There is no name on it, and no one will return it even if it gets picked up." Taking advantage of the distance between Li Guoying, Hu Wenke reminded him in a low voice.

Wang Mingde nodded. After putting away his permanent release coupon, he reached into his arms and fumbled, confirming that the other large stacks of release coupons were there and did not seem to fall, and then he let out a long breath. After hearing Hu Wenke's words, Wang Mingde stared at Li Guoying in front of him with one eye, turned his head slightly and asked Hu Wenke in a low voice, "Is there any good way for General Hu?"

"All my underwear is sewn in an inner pocket, which is either big or small, is used to hold the release coupon," Hu Wenke whispered to introduce his advanced experience: "This pocket only contains the release coupon, does not contain other things, and never takes it randomly, and will never throw it away!"

"Good solution, good solution." Wang Mingde exclaimed sincerely.

The Ming army warships in the distance put down several small boats, and each ship carried a few horses and a few cavalry. After the scouts boarded the ship, they circled around and sent back flags to the Ming army's fleet. Then, Chongqing saw the Ming army's fleet release more small boats.

Seeing that the Ming army had only released two or thirty small boats in total, many people breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the Ming army had no intention of landing in large quantities, otherwise they should have put down all the small boats and sent enough soldiers at the first moment. The Kuidong Army landed in the west of Futuguan and then forced Chongqing after rectifying the camp. The Western Sichuan Army was disembarking at Jintangmen in a big way. However, the Qing army had no intention of attacking them - these Ming soldiers were all brought with them with Ma, and the number of people seemed not very large. Before they retreated to the riverside to board the boat, the possibility of catching up with them was very small. Besides, Deng Ming was opposite. When he was unsure, why did he provoke this devil and make him unhappy!

"The Ming army has not many ships, nor are they big," Wang Mingde squeezed forward and analyzed seriously: "They are not here to attack us..."

Li Guoying couldn't help but glared at Wang Mingde again because he heard the general of the Qing Dynasty actually called the other party the Ming army. However, others, including Sun Sick, did not seem to realize that something was wrong. Many people nodded, thinking that Wang Mingde's analysis was correct.

Just as a stone was about to land in everyone's heart, a sharp-eyed general suddenly screamed: "Look, that person is Admiral Deng Ming and Deng!"

Although they saw the military flag with three walls on the ship, at first everyone thought it was the cavalry with three walls to be the envoy, but they didn't expect that Deng Ming had left the ship and landed ashore.

The generals who wanted to echo Wang Mingde suddenly changed their voices. They pointed at the Ming army boats and shouted: "Don't look at the big or too many boats, but there are Ming army on it!"

It was of course a bit crowded to transport more than 100 cavalry with dozens of small boats that could directly dock. Wang Mingde also felt deeply: "Yes, the Ming army is indeed much more than at first glance."

Standing on the ground and moving his legs, Deng Ming took one hundred and twenty guards to head straight for Jintangmen in Chongqing. They saw Li Guoying's banner from afar.

Deng Ming stopped outside the ground with an arrow and shouted to the city. Thousands of soldiers on the city wall held their breath, and only Deng Ming's voice came from afar: "Please come out and answer."

Li Guoying didn't want to yell with Deng Ming across the ground. Now he felt a little lacking in energy, so he asked Gao Mingzhan to go over and ask Deng Ming what he wanted to do.

"Zhe." Gao Mingzhan took a deep breath and walked to the top of the city. He almost blurted out a greeting with "Admiral Deng is fine," but he was still a little anxious and swallowed it back when the words were about to come.

"Deng Ming! Our army will not surrender! You will die." Gao Mingzhan shouted passionately: "Our army is united and vows to live and die with Chongqing. Don't underestimate us. I advise you to retreat, so as not to be bloody under the city of Chongqing."

Standing among the troops and the city of the city, Gao Mingzhan shouted fiercely at the more than 100 Ming cavalry in front of him, thinking that he was saying good, and took the break to look back at the Governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi. Gao Mingzhan found that the others looked as usual, and some people nodded silently, obviously they all thought he was saying good, only Li Guoying looked at him fiercely.

"Why is the Governor angry?" Gao Mingzhan's mind flashed and he suddenly realized: "It must be that the Governor is worried about those gaps."

Thinking of the three large holes in the northwest of the city, Gao Mingzhan's liver trembled: "Deng Ming! Don't think that if the city wall collapses, you will have any chance! We have built five guardrails in the city, and there are still 100,000 troops. If you..."

Gao Mingzhan originally wanted to say, "If you have the guts, come and try attacking," but Gao Mingzhan, who has always been wise, realized that something was wrong when he spoke to his lips, so he hurriedly changed it to: "I advise you to withdraw. We will burn the warehouse and not leave it to you!"
