With the departure of the Restoration Army, Hanshui returned to calm. It just left a large number of watermarks on the south bank, showing a large number of people passing by.

Half an hour later, Hanchuan Castle, not far away, was as peaceful as ever. Because there are too many people who have relocated, the guards in the city have also increased significantly. It was almost dawn now, and the guards in the city were yawning, and they couldn't even walk.

At this time, a group of people suddenly ran under the city, and the guards in the city suddenly lost their sleep. He shouted to the city, "Who is it?" Stop, and go any further. ”

The man who led the city said: "Master Jun, I am the temporary official of Liujiajie Town, and the people of Liujiajie Town are making trouble, and now they can't suppress it." We came to ask the county lord for help, please send troops to suppress it quickly. ”

The city guard was startled and said, "Impossible, I have also been to Liujiajie Town during the day, and the people there are all fine, why did they suddenly make trouble?" ”

The people under the city said: "Master Jun, I am Zhong Ning in the town of Liujia, and I am a temporary servant." I don't know which bastard it is, the rumors that spread in the town say that the Ming army has called. said that we were so strong that we contributed to the Qing Dynasty and helped the Qing Dynasty fight the Ming army, and we wanted to kill all of us. When the townspeople heard this, they all fled in all directions, and we couldn't take care of them. There are also many people who take the opportunity to grab things, and even set fire to the town. ”

As he spoke, he looked back, pointed in the direction of Liujiajie Town, and said, "Master Jun, look, now that there is a fire burning in Liujiajie Town, if you don't send someone to go, I'm afraid it will get bigger and bigger." ”

The guard looked in the direction of Liu's town, and sure enough, it was already on fire. Ten miles away, you can see the firelight illuminating half of the sky. When the guards saw it, they immediately asked the people next to them to hurry up to inform the magistrate and the garrison. Then he said to Zhong Ning and the others: "Okay, you just wait under the city for a while, I have already asked someone to inform the magistrate, as well as the garrison in the city." ”

Zhong Ning said: "Brother Guard, you see that we have been running all night, you let us go into the city to drink saliva, and wait for the county magistrate to ask maybe you have to ask, my voice is sandy, and I am afraid that I will not be able to catch up with the county magistrate's question." ”

The guard hesitated for a moment and said, "You just wait for a while, Lord Zhixian will come soon, you can't wait long, don't worry." Zhong Ning said: "I said Brother Guard, what are you afraid of, there are only five of us in total." What else can go wrong, when the county magistrate asks, I can't answer, I can just say that you don't let me drink water. Now that the military situation is urgent, I also beg the guard brother to make it convenient. ”

A person next to him said: "I think too, there is such a big mess, and we will definitely send troops later, or let him come in and drink some water." As far as the five of them can threaten, there are more than a dozen of us here. ”

The guard said, "All right, but throw a torch down first." Suddenly, a torch next to him was thrown in front of Zhong Ning and the others.

Seeing that the torch was about to be thrown in the city, Chen Fuyi, who was next to Zhong Ning under the city, immediately coughed twice. The soldiers of the Restoration Army, who were five or six feet away from Zhong Ning, immediately fell to the ground one after another.

Due to the military uniform of the Restoration Army, it was changed to black armor by Zhu Youdong. Therefore, the people in the city only saw that it was dark behind Zhong Ning, and they didn't notice that there were all soldiers lying on the ground.

Seeing that there were indeed only five people including Zhong Ning, the guard said, "Wait a minute, I'll open the door for you to come in and throw your weapons outside." Zhong Ning and the others hurriedly threw their weapons aside, and then said that there was nothing left.

The guard was also very careful, he checked everything he could. But what he didn't expect was that Zhong Ning was the biggest hidden danger.

Zhong Ning took Chen Fuyi and the other four people under the city, and when he saw that the city gate had gradually opened, he was immediately excited. Zhong Ning and the others endured their excitement and walked slowly towards the city gate.

At this time, the torches on the ground had been extinguished, and the soldiers of the Restoration Army behind Zhong Ning and the others had already begun to crawl towards the city gate.

The defenders only opened the gate a small crack to allow only one person to pass through. Zhong Ning was the first to go in, and he kept saying to a few guards who opened the door: "A few more big brothers, brothers are grateful." If it weren't for talking too much in Liujia's town, I would be very thirsty now. I don't dare to work a few big brothers, thank you so much. ”

Zhong Ning and the others entered the city gate one after another, looking at Zhong Ning's good attitude. Several guards who opened the door also smiled and said, "It's nothing, everyone eats together." Suddenly, a guard saw Chen Fuyi and the braids on their heads were wrong.

Although Chen Fuyi and the others also braided their hair, they did not shave off the hair of their entire head. So as soon as Chen Fuyi and the others walked in and stood beside a few guards, the guards immediately saw that several people had hair problems.

The guard didn't care at first and said, "Why haven't you shaved your hair well?" If the adults see this, they will be killed. When the guard said this, he suddenly "chuckled" in his heart, and suddenly thought of something. Frightened, he pointed at Chen Fuyi and the others: "You... You.., you are.. Be.... ”

The guard couldn't say it for a while, Chen Fuyi went directly over and knocked this person to the ground, and said, "We are the army of the Ming Dynasty, you understand now." Just as Chen Fuyi was making a move, the other four people also took action to restrain the other guards who opened the door.

A few people held a few guards with daggers, and Chen Fuyi said: "If anyone dares to make a little noise, Lao Tzu's knife will not recognize people." As he spoke, he glanced at the two soldiers and asked them to open the door.

Just now, the guard had taken off the bolt on one side but the other side was not removed, and the two of them couldn't lift it for a while. Chen Fuyi asked two more guards to go up to help, and then the deadbolt was removed. The two soldiers of the Restoration Army were about to open the door, when they suddenly heard someone in the city shouting: "Close the city gate quickly, there is a situation." ”

It turned out that the Restoration Army outside the city had already climbed close to the city wall, and it was only three or four zhang away from the city wall. The guards of the city seemed to hear some rustling sound. But it was pitch black outside the city, and nothing could be seen.

The guard felt strange and threw down another torch. Immediately, it was clear that a large number of soldiers of the Restoration Army under the city were lying on the ground, black and pressing, and suddenly the guard felt his hair stand on end. hurriedly shouted: "Close the city gate quickly, there is a situation." ”

Then he took out the gong from his side, struck it hurriedly, and shouted as he tapped: "Enemy attack, defend the city quickly, enemy attack." ”

Chen Fuyi, who was at the city gate, saw that he was discovered, and immediately shouted: "Open the city gate quickly and attack the city." A guard next to him took advantage of Chen Fuyi's distraction and immediately pushed away the soldiers of the Restoration Army who were guarding. ran into the city and shouted: "Quick, the Ming army has come to cheat the city gate, come quickly." ”

At this time, the Restoration Army outside the city also knew that it had been discovered, and immediately stopped hiding. At this time, the city gate was slowly being pushed open. The soldiers of the Restoration Army suddenly roared angrily: "Chong, kill the Tartars, kill the Qing soldiers." ”

Immediately, the city gate was engulfed in flames, and before the guards of the city could get down the city wall, the Fuming army had already rushed into the city with a roar.

Chen Fuyi took the knife sent by the soldiers behind him, slashed a guard who rushed over, and said: "Hurry up and rush into the city, and kill them before they can react." Then he grabbed a pro-soldier and said: "Quick, you go and urge the people to enter the city as soon as possible, after we capture Hanchuan, we have to prepare for defense." ”

When the soldier heard this, he didn't care to rush forward, so he turned around and went out of the city. Here, the Restoration Army led by Chen Fuyi has been divided into several ways to enter the city.

Jin Wanyi, the county magistrate of Hanchuan County, has been so busy that he is dizzy during this time, and there are no less than 100 disputes between Minzhuang and the locals every day. Not only patronizing these, the imperial court sent Prince An to Wuchang, Wuchang in Hanchuan is too close, and he must have the slightest fork, or in half a day, the governor of Wuchang, Yamen, will know.

So in the past few days, Jin Wanyi has been walking on thin ice, and he doesn't dare to be careless. In the evening, he specially patrolled the city once, and instructed the garrison Li Liangzhen to strengthen the guard to prevent the people from making trouble.

I finally finished a busy day, and I just fell asleep for only two hours when I was woken up by someone. Jin Wanyi said impatiently: "What's the matter, why are you bothering me so late." ”

The subordinate said: "Master, the soldiers guarding the city came to report, saying that it was the people of Liujiajie Town who were making trouble, and now the entire Liujiajie Town is on fire. There is a temporary errand from Liu's town, who came to ask the master to send troops to suppress it. ”

Jin Wanyi was taken aback, and his sleepiness disappeared in an instant, and he said, "How come?" Didn't you sleep during the day, did you just bring them some food? Come and change my clothes, and let the soldiers defending the city come in. ”

After a while, a soldier defending the city was brought in. Jin Wanyi said: "Tell me carefully, what's going on?" The guard said: "I don't know the specific situation, but I heard from the person who reported that someone spread a rumor that the army was coming and wanted to kill all the people." Therefore, the people in Liujia's next town were in chaos, and some ruffians and hooligans took the opportunity to snatch things, which made a big fuss. ”

Jin Wanyi said: "None of these untouchables are worry-free. Did you go to inform the garrison Li Liangdong? The guard said, "When I came, someone went to inform me." ”

At this time, Jin Wanyi also put on his official uniform and said, "Let's go, come with me to the city gate to have a look." As soon as the two of them walked out of the county office, they heard a gong at the city gate, and then the sound of killing shook the sky at the city gate, and the fire was everywhere. Jin Wanyi was shocked and said, "Why is there an accident at the city gate?" ”

The guard didn't know either, and the two hurried to the city gate. As soon as I ran a street, I heard people shouting everywhere: "The Ming Dynasty has entered the city, and the 100,000 army has been killed, run." ”

There were also people behind them with torches, constantly chasing these deserters, shouting: "The Ming Wangshi enters the city, surrender and don't kill." "I don't look at killing in my mouth, but I am hacked to death with a knife if I move a little.

Chen Fuyi led the army, under the leadership of Zhong Ning, and quickly approached the county office. Along the way, there were people running around, and some soldiers who had mixed in with the people to defend the city. Seeing this, Chen Fuyi scolded loudly, and asked all the people to squat down along the street and not be allowed to run around.

But at this time, who will listen to this. Chen Fuyi had no choice but to have people cut down all those who ran around. cut down more than a dozen people in a row, and only then did people squat down obediently. On the other side, Wang Ping, the head of Qian, with 200 people, just rushed into the city not long ago, and ran into Li Liangdong, the city guard.

The two of them with the soldiers immediately killed each other, and Wang Ping hacked three Qing soldiers to death all the way before he ran into Li Liangdong. As soon as the two fought, they both took two steps back.

The two looked at each other, and at this look, Li Liangdong was suddenly shocked and said, "General Wang? How are you? "It turned out that when Wang Ping had not yet entered Yungui, he was the chief soldier of the standard battalion of the Governor's Yamen, and this Li Liangdong was still Wang Ping's subordinate.

It's just that now that Hong Chengchou has left, Li Liangdong, the generals recommended by Hong Chengchou, have been suppressed by Zhang Changgeng. took advantage of this retreat and sent Li Liangdong to Hanchuan as a garrison.

Wang Ping said: "It's me, I'm now clear anyway, do you want to go against me?" Li Liangdong suddenly hesitated, after all, Da Ming didn't have much momentum.
