Tianjin Acropolis, the cannon rumbles and shouts to kill the sky.

Thousands of guards in tattered clothes surrounded the governor's yamen and launched a strong attack, but they could not advance an inch under the fire of the defenders' sharp bows and crossbows.

"Kill!" More than a dozen guards under the leadership of the small flag officer carried a thick piece of wood and slammed into the gate of the governor's yamen, with a huge impact sound of "bang", the thick gate shook violently under the impact, and the wooden door was knocked out of the slightest crack.

With a "pop", a black shadow was thrown out from behind the door, and it was smashed against the wood over the gatehouse, splashing thousands of splashes.

One of the guards touched the liquid that had splashed on his body, put it to his nose and sniffed, "Fire oil!" He let out an exclamation, and before he could finish speaking, a few fires appeared in the sky and landed on the crashing wood, and the flames burned and spread rapidly. One of the guards happened to be hit by a torch, and his oil-soaked clothes burned, and he screamed and flapped in a hurry, but he couldn't stop the spread of the flames, and in a blink of an eye, his whole body was burning.

Seeing his miserable condition, the other guards who slammed the door screamed and fled far away.

More than a dozen ladders were erected at the head of the wall, and under the coercion of the officers, hundreds of guards cowered and climbed up the ladder, but as soon as their heads were exposed, dozens of crossbow arrows were shot from the courtyard, and one by one they fell to the ground without saying a word.

"Come on, bring in artillery!" Seeing that the Acropolis had been captured, but there was nothing he could do with the governor's Yamen in front of him, Cao Youyi, the commander of the guard in charge of the command, ordered sharply that he was ready to use artillery to collapse the palace gate.

There are dozens of artillery pieces on the Tianjin Guards, as long as one is mobilized, the gate of the Governor Division in front of him can be destroyed, and the 3,000 soldiers under his command can kill the generals and kill the hundreds of remnants of the Xishan Army inside. Thinking about the large amount of silver taels piled up in the governor's treasury, Cao Youyi's heart became hot.

One of his 100 households led people to the city wall to adjust the artillery, and Cao Youyi ordered to stop the attack for the time being, but only surrounded the governor's department tightly.

"General Yang, what's going on outside?" In the lobby of the Inspection Division, Wang Yin anxiously asked Yang Zhengping who came in.

"Don't worry, the rebels won't be able to attack for a while." Yang Zhengping said gently.

"It's careless, it's careless. I didn't expect Yuan Yuzong to collude with the thief envoy to create our rebellion! It's all my responsibility. Wang Yin said with annoyance. Before Chen Yue left, he handed over all the things of Tianjin Wei to himself, and now this situation has been made, so that Wang Yin consciously faced Chen Yue speechlessly, and he was extremely self-reproachful in his heart.

"Hengshan Gong should not blame himself, guarding Tianjin Wei was originally the responsibility of the last general, let the rebels enter the city, the responsibility should be borne by the last general, it is none of your business." Yang Zhengping shook his head and said.

"The army in the city is less than a thousand, the number of rebels is several times that of us, and it is a surprise attack to capture the West Gate, the responsibility should not be borne by the general, but now is not the time to discuss who is responsible, General Yang, let me ask you, how long can we hold it?" Wang Yin asked.

"We still have more than 500 soldiers, if we simply defend, with firearms and crossbowmen, there is no problem in guarding for two days." Yang Zhengping replied. Through the fight with the rebels just now, Yang Zhengping knew very well that the combat effectiveness of the rebels was no different from that of other Ming troops, but he took the lead in a sudden sneak attack, so he entered the city, and the number of people was several times that of the Xishan army, so he suppressed himself in the yamen.

"Two days is enough time for the coastal defense battalion to come from Dagu." Wang Yin breathed a sigh of relief and said, most of the belongings of the Xishan Army are piled up in the yamen of the governor's department, and the original silver plus the silver collected from the giant merchants outside Tianjin some time ago is more than 500,000 taels, plus thousands of stone military rations in the city, it is really impossible to lose.

Yang Zhengping proposed from the beginning to keep him out of the encirclement, with these more than 500 soldiers, it was enough to kill Tianjin. But Wang Yin refused after thinking about it, because there was so much money and grain saved in the city, which was the basis for the rapid development of the Xishan Army in the future, and once it was lost, it would be difficult to accumulate it.

"The enemy has transferred a few artillery pieces and is coming towards the palace gate." While the two were talking, a sentry watching the enemy from the roof shouted loudly.

Artillery! Yang Zhengping's expression suddenly became serious, although the palace wall is tall, it is not a city wall, if the rebels are allowed to bombard it with artillery, it will be collapsed in a short time, and at that time it can only fall into a bitter battle with the rebels. There are only more than 500 people under his command, and he can't withstand the consumption of a bloody battle.

Yang Zhengping thought about it for a while, and suddenly came up with an idea.

"Hengshan Gong, I would like to ask you to transfer some silver coins from the silver treasury, silver ingots and copper coins." Yang Zhengping said to Wang Yin.

"What do you want money for?" Wang Yin asked in surprise.

......

On the street opposite the governor's division, five artillery pieces were transported one after another, two of which were 1,000-pound Yuan Rong guns, and the other three were Furlong machine guns. Tianjin Wei is one of the three Davids of the Ming Dynasty, there are dozens of artillery at the head of the city, including ten Hongyi cannons of more than 3,000 catties, but it is not easy to transport them from the city head because they are too heavy, and they can only get close to the five guns that are transported down from the west city in a hurry. However, for the thin palace wall of the Yamen of the Inspection Division, these five artillery pieces are also sufficient.

Under the command of the artillery officer, the five guns were lined up, the muzzles of the guns were pointed directly at the wall of the inspection department, and the gunners were nervously loading the gunpowder projectiles.

"Look!" One of the rebel soldiers suddenly pointed to the gate of the governor's department and shouted, and the others asked about the reputation, and saw countless dots thrown out of the wall and rolled down the street.

Yin Cancan, Huang Tongtong, and the eyes of all the rebel soldiers widened at once, and they saw that hundreds of silver ingots and countless copper coins were thrown out of the mansion.

The silver coins were still being thrown out one after another, forming a rain of silver and copper in the air, which fell on the street like a dream, and the rebels of the guard station looked at it blankly, and even the gunners forgot to reload.

Countless riches have fallen from the sky, and I am afraid that such a scene can only appear in dreams! A rebel crouched down, carefully picked up a copper coin that had rolled to the ground beside him, put it in his mouth and bit it, the hard touch showed the truth. Before he could pinch his thigh to determine whether he was dreaming or not, there was a "whoop", and countless people poured out of him, like moths fluttering on the lamp, towards the silver ingots and copper coins on the street. One by one, they threw away the swords, guns and weapons in their hands and threw themselves towards the wealth in front of them. In just a short moment, the rebels' formation was completely chaotic.

"It's all for Lao Tzu to come back, don't pick it up!" The commander Cao Youyi yelled at his soldiers in vain, but no one paid attention to him at all, and even a few of his own soldiers joined the array to pick up copper coins.
