In the barracks in Xicheng, Tiantai County, because the garrison had just asked about the cause and effect of the matter, the news of the appearance of the Ming army came, and the monks brought by the general Huang who guarded the door were temporarily placed in a tent in the barracks, guarded by two soldiers of the Qing army.

The Ming army outside the city had already begun to line up, and the garrison of the Qing army transferred most of the sergeants in the Xicheng military camp after confirming that there were no signs of Ming troops in several other directions. Most of these soldiers were transferred to the northern city where he was located, and only a few cooperated with the people to defend the other city walls.

In the barracks, the Qing troops either climbed the city to defend the city, or stayed in their respective tents to seize the time to rest. This troubled era has lasted for many years, and the soldiers naturally know the truth that when they fight, they will have more hope of surviving.

In the tent, the four unordained false monks were meditating in a decent manner, as if they had not been born as great monks, but if they were very close, they could still hear their conversations.

"Captain Zhang, are we just waiting here for the marshal to lead the troops into the city, do we have to do something?"

"Yang Kai, you make a small voice, what should you do if you have such a loud voice for those two Tartars outside to hear."

As the first to become Chen Wen's personal soldier, Zhang Jun also sat in the position of the captain of the pro-soldier after the expansion, but his captain actually only had two subordinates, and they were all teenagers of the same age as him, and this pro-soldier team was actually just a shelter for underage soldiers.

The man who spoke to Zhang Jun was called Yang Kai, a native of Taizhou who had been a pirate for generations. After the Qing army went south, because his family colluded with the anti-Qing rebels, the whole family suffered in the Qing army's strike against the rebels in southern Zhejiang last year, and he was the only one who was punished to serve as a coolie because of his young age.

After only a year of hard work, news spread from several prefectures and counties around Siming Mountain and Tiantai Mountain that the Tibiao battalion had been defeated by Chen Wen, and this kid and several companions who were also coolies managed to escape, and came to Tiantai Mountain to join the army several times. It's just because although this kid has some martial arts when he went up the mountain, he is only sixteen or seventeen years old, so Chen Wen arranged him in the pro-soldier team, accompanied by Zhang Jun and another young pro-soldier.

A sentence was choked back by Zhang Jun, and Yang Kai turned to ask another pro-soldier next to him. "Hey, Brother Yu, you should say something and let us know that you are still alive."

The soldier surnamed Yu was Yu Li, the young soldier under Wang Sheng that Chen Wen met on the road before, and his family lived in the countryside in Xinchang County.

After separating from Chen Wen, the young man had planned to return to his hometown to report the death of the officer surnamed Xia to the family, and then honor his old mother at home. But the family surnamed Xia is a big family in the township, and none of the people in the township who joined the army were spared, only the children of a small family like him survived, and it was difficult to gain a foothold in his hometown under the exclusion, so he had to take his wife to continue to embark on the road of joining the army.

When I was young, my idol was killed because of his opposition to his boss's demotion to Qingqing, and he was driven out of his hometown when he returned to his hometown to report the news, and even the old lady was implicated, and the circumstances of those months made Yu Li always seem to be silent now, and he just tried his best to do things on weekdays, and went home to serve his wife during the holidays, even these two peers in the pro-soldier team had few words, so Yang Kai gave him the nickname of "living dead" behind his back.

At this time, Yu Li just shook his head, not knowing whether he didn't want to say it or didn't have any ideas, so he still sat there with his eyes closed. And Yang Kai seemed to be accustomed to it, and turned to ask Zhang Jun about it, but he completely ignored the meaning of the fourth person under the same tent - the "Void Bamboo Monk".

These three people are all Chen Wen's personal soldiers, so they will naturally be closer, but the Xuzhu monk is an outsider, and their mission itself has the purpose of monitoring this person, so they are even less interested in talking to each other.

After listening for a while, seeing that there was nothing new, the Xuzhu monk stood up and walked outside the tent.

"What are you going out for?"

Although he was a little stunned, he had been talking quietly for a long time, and Yang Kai's questioning voice was not very loud. Hearing this, the Xuzhu monk smiled slightly, and then said loudly: "Senior brother who quits sex, senior brother went to ask the military masters outside the door for some water to drink, aren't you thirsty?" ”

Hearing this, Yang Kai's first reaction was that this liar was sarcastically talking a lot, but after Yu Li pulled him along, this kid immediately understood the hidden voice in the words of the Xuzhu monk.

"What the senior brother said is that I haven't been in water for half a day, and I am indeed a little thirsty."

Before Zhang Jun's words fell, the Xuzhu monk walked to the door and whispered to the two Qing soldiers outside the door for a few bowls of water to drink. The Qing army outside the door was also cool, and after listening to the two good words of the Xuzhu monk, he went to the well next to the house in the distance to fetch water.

The Qing army that fetched water had already gone away, but the Xuzhu monk did not go back, but talked with the Qing army. The monk's words were humorous, and he soon made the Qing army laugh.

But at this moment, there was a quarrel in the tent. The Xuzhu monk was stunned for a moment, and then told the Qing army that he would go first to appease and then continue chatting, and then walked in.

It's just that the Xuzhu monk didn't go in, but after entering, the quarrel became more and more intense. It was all bits and pieces of chickens and dogs in the temple over and over again, and the more the Qing army listened, the more annoyed they became, so they walked in.

However, who knew that when he entered the camp tent, the head of the Qing army was covered by something, and then there was a push behind him, and he fell to the ground with a mixture of feet.

In this situation, even a fool understands that these four thieves have bad intentions. It's just that before the Qing army could shout, he felt that as the two people in the account ran, a rope-like thing was strangled around his neck.

The words for help could no longer be spoken, only some whining sounds, and the rope around the neck was getting tighter and tighter, and the Qing army struggled desperately, trying to stand up, but was re-overwhelmed by two people relying on their weight.

With his feet ready to be held down, and a person sitting on his back couldn't get up again, the Qing army threw down the spear in his hand, and tried to pull back the rope around his neck with both hands, just to breathe a sigh of relief. However, how can one side of each hand be able to resist the pull of one side and one person struggling to pull in both directions?

Gradually, the consciousness of the Qing army became more and more blurred with the lack of oxygen, until the hands no longer had the strength to pull and fell weakly to the ground, and this tug-of-war was over.

Seeing that the Qing army did not move again, the four of them sat down on the ground one after another, panting heavily around the corpse that landed on the ground.

Yang Kai has some martial arts and has also done coolies; Yu Li was born in a small family, and he also suffered a lot when he was in Wang Shengjun, and he was quite strong. And the Xuzhu monk and Zhang Jun are a scholar who cheats and cheats, and the other is a little guy who is responsible for guarding the door and running errands, and their strength is not very great. These four people all exerted all their strength to completely subdue this Qing army who was struggling under the domination of the desire to survive, but the loss of strength was by no means a few.

Before the four of them could say more, there was the sound of footsteps carrying buckets in the distance. Hearing this, the Xuzhu monk got up, wiped the sweat from his forehead, tidied up his clothes, and walked out with a smile just to say "Don't see blood". And Zhang Jun tore off the monk's robe covering the head of the Qing army after Yu Li and Yang Kai untied the belt from the Qing army's neck, and stood at the door to prepare for the next sneak attack......

The two Qing soldiers guarding the gate were both killed, and the same trick was used twice, but the struggle of the Qing army in the back was far less fierce than the former.

After resting for a while, the sky outside was already dark, Yu Li and Yang Kai changed into the clothes of the Qing army, and under the guidance of the Xuzhu monk who had already observed the pattern when entering the camp, they took the fire fold found from the Qing army and went to the forage field in the camp.

It didn't take long for the forage field of the Xicheng military camp to burst into flames and thick smoke. In the midst of this chaos, two Qing soldiers and two monks quietly left.

The Qing troops in the Xicheng military camp all got up to put out the fire, and at this time, Lin Zhongxiao also completed the raid on the magistrate of Tiantai County.

After rushing out of the alley, Lin Zhongxiao still marched forward in accordance with the formation of the mandarin duck formation, but those sedan chair drivers and servants saw a group of thugs suddenly appear, but instead lifted the sedan chair and turned around and ran, if it weren't for the archers of the firearms team, even if they shot a sedan chair driver, causing the sedan chair to fall to the ground, it was really bad to make this dog officer run away.

Unable to reflect on the previous dogmatic mistake, Lin Zhongxiao hurriedly led people to kill him. It's just that the remaining three sedan chair drivers still showed their professional advantages after leaving the sedan chair, and ran away without a trace almost as soon as they slipped away, and the group of servants also knelt on the ground and asked for surrender after resisting to no avail.

tied up the magistrate, and Lin Zhongxiao led the team to the north gate where the battle was in full swing.

"Wang Shi has already entered the city, and Tiantai Zhixian has also been captured, so don't you descend early?!"

The sky was dark, and only the Ming army still stood a stone's throw away from the head of the city, shouting to the people and the Qing army who were carrying the equipment to defend the city.

The Xicheng military camp was in flames, and the Ming army outside the city had already begun to attack the city, but the magistrate of Tiantai County was captured by the Ming army in the city. A series of events gathered together in an instant, and the people who carried the equipment to defend the city under the city were stunned for a moment and then scattered in an instant, and even the small officials who were in charge of overseeing the work also fled.

The flight of the people led to the chaos of the Qing army defending the city, God knows how the Ming army entered the city, but more importantly, the Ming army had already entered the city, so their defense was meaningless. If you can't defend the city, that is, you must escape your life as soon as possible, and everyone knows this truth. Only the garrison was still struggling to organize the soldiers to resist, but to no avail.

It was difficult for the panicked Qing army to organize an effective defense, and there were more and more Ming troops who climbed the ladder to the top of the city, and even the city gate was opened by the Ming army after killing the Qing army on the left. The city gate was opened, and countless Ming troops shouted and slaughtered into the city.

Tiantai County changes hands!

A few days later, Yu Guowang looked at the messengers sent by the other Ming armies on Tiantai Mountain, and Chen Wen led the part of the Nantang camp down the mountain to withdraw from Tiantai County in batches.
