The battle for Nanpi City began abruptly and ended quickly.

There was no way, there were less than 1,000 defenders in the entire Nanpi City, and there was no determination to live and die with the city.

There are also some bandits who have not escaped, they are scattered around Nanpi City, robbing the people, insulting women, and they do not know the news that Nanpi City has been recovered. According to the cries of the people, Jinyiwei searched for the sound, took those guys out naked, and showed them at the gate of the county government.

Nanpi City was empty in ten rooms, and the number of registered people had been reduced by more than half. Without mud dressing himself up as the savior of the poor people, he naturally could not break his promise and sent many poor people to a place where there was no hunger and no cold - the Western Elysium. As for the rich families, they are not among the targets of rescue, and after confiscating their property without mud, let them remain in the world to suffer.

Hearing that Jinyiwei had recovered Nanpi County, the bullied people were still a little incredulous, but seeing Jinyiwei publicly executing bandits at the gate of the county ya, Nanpi County fell into a carnival. Everyone has never thought that Jinyiwei is so cute today.

Many people rushed to the firecracker shop to buy firecrackers to celebrate, but the firecracker shop had already been looted by bandits; rushed to the musical instrument store and wanted to buy gongs and drums to celebrate, but unfortunately it was also robbed by the rioters. The helpless people had no choice but to celebrate with primitive firecrackers, that is, throwing the penny into the fire and listening to the penny explode in the fire. There are also people who celebrate by knocking on iron buckets, kitchen knives, or other things that can sound. Nanpicheng spent the whole night in the sound of clanging, so that Zhu Youcheng didn't sleep well all night.

It is easy to capture Nanpi City, but it is somewhat difficult to restore order to Nanpi City. The magistrate of Nanpi County has been killed by the rebels, the military attache has fled, and the officials, squad leaders, and jailers in the county town have also been murdered one by one, and there is not a single administrator in the entire Nanpi County. Zhu Youcheng naturally couldn't just leave. Leave Nanpi County like this. He first selected the gentry with a good reputation in Nanpi County and asked them to temporarily take charge of the affairs of the county. Then send someone to Cangzhou and let Xu Ruzhi send officials to take over Nanpi.

The interrogation of the remnants of the bandits learned that Bu Muddy did not come to Nanpi, and should have gone to their last stronghold - the watchtower located at the junction of Texas and Cangzhou.

Asking for the ball to lead the way in front, Zhu Youcheng pulled out the camp.

The watchtower is about seventy miles away from Nanpi. On the ninth day of the ninth month of the fifth year of the Apocalypse, at three o'clock in the afternoon, Zhu Youcheng's troops came to the front of the watchtower. This watchtower is really magnificent, about five zhang high, straight into the sky, higher than the city wall of the ordinary city. The top of the watchtower is a sloping roof, and it seems that if you want to use a ladder, the ants are attached to the siege. I'm afraid it won't work much. The watchtower facing the outside is mostly brick and has no windows, but there are dozens of one-foot-square openings, which are shooting holes. The iron door of the watchtower has long been lowered, and it seems that the mud is indeed hiding inside, otherwise those lazy bandits will not put down the iron door.

Although Qiuqiu has long introduced the strong defensive ability of the watchtower, everyone is still surprised to see such a watchtower. How can such a sturdy watchtower attack?

Wu Huping deceived the city and defrauded the experience, and said: "Otherwise, I will still pretend to be a subordinate who flies on the grass." As yesterday, the door of the watchtower was opened, and then the gate was controlled, and the army took the opportunity to cover up and kill. Master Zhu, what do you think of this method? ”

Zhu Youcheng shook his head and said, "It's not proper, flying on the grass is not a confidant who is not muddy." His men. If you don't get muddy, you must know everything, and it's hard for you to cheat open the door. Even if you open the door of the building, their door is a gate, and the iron door weighs a thousand pounds. As long as the situation is not good, they can cut the machine spring. Lay down the iron gates and split our troops in two. The soldiers who are imprisoned in the watchtower must be more than lucky. ”

Chen Guoqi said: "Now the plan, we had better block the front and back doors of the watchtower and trap this gang of bandits." ”

"How long will it take, and how much grain and grass will have to be consumed." Wu Huping retorted.

Zhu Youcheng looked resolute and said: "Don't think about it, the army of Xizhen Fusi must be good at field battles and good at tackling fortifications. As early as in the capital, we discussed a countermeasure and stormed the watchtower. Chen Guoqi, select 300 magic guns, and clear all the archers in the shooting holes of the watchtower - don't care about the archers who can't see or can't see the shooting holes, just send the bullets into the shooting holes. Our muskets are new-style muskets, and the soldiers will be able to do it after a long period of training. Wu Huping, put twenty tiger squat cannons around the watchtower, replace them with solid cannons, dig out a few big holes for me under the watchtower, and then set off gunpowder, and the official will blow up the watchtower. ”

Besides, not to get mud under the city of Cangzhou, seeing that there were only more than 1,000 officers and soldiers under the banner of "Zhu", they beat their more than 40,000 troops to the ground, and they were terrified in their hearts, and even Nanpi did not dare to go, and directly retreated to the watchtower.

Looking at this rock-solid watchtower, he was reassured. To deal with this kind of watchtower that is as hard as a turtle shell, the officers and soldiers have nothing more than several methods, one is to attack the tower with ants. He had already countered this kind of attack. The watchtowers were easy to defend and difficult to attack, with numerous shooting holes, and he had nearly a hundred archers there who could inflict a large number of casualties when the enemy approached. And there are hundreds of spearmen on the top floor, and they come up and kill one of them. The other is to dig a hole and enter the fort through the guò tunnel to raid. Not to mention that the original castle owner confided the truth under torture, and told him that he would not get mud, and the bottom of the watchtower was all made of stones, and it was impossible to dig it at all. Even if he could dig it, he would have been prepared. Do not stick to the mud in the middle of the watchtower buried a large vat, every day to send people to listen to the sound in the jar. If someone digs, the jar will amplify the sound. A pot of hot oil was prepared in the yard without mud, and if someone dug it, hehe, as soon as the tunnel is passed, it is time for the boiled meat to be served.

Seeing the team under the banner of "Zhu" chasing over, he was resentful in his heart, this surnamed Zhu was really hateful, he ruined his plot to tear the soil and become the king, and now he is chasing his lair, do you really think you have eaten me? Don't be complacent, I'll let you suffer a big loss right away, and I know that Lord Ma also has three eyes.

Standing next to a shooting hole without mud and looking out. I saw that the brocade guards in golden helmets and golden armor surrounded the watchtowers, and they were still holding the fire guns that made him suffer a big loss.

Don't mud and say secretly: "Siege the city from all sides?" I can't ask for it, and when your elite is exhausted, I will open the door of the building and wipe you out. ”

Bu was thinking about the mud, and he heard the sound of "bang" endlessly, and the brocade guard was actually released five hundred steps away. He did not laugh at the incompetence of the commander of the brocade guard, and let it loose indiscriminately, because his bun was hit, the tie was broken, and his head was scattered. Jin Yiwei's firearms could shoot so far, no wonder the 40,000 army had no power to fight back.

His eyes swept around, and the shooters behind the shooting hole were knocked down one by one by the firearms, and the dead did not move, but they did not dare to move if they were not dead. He couldn't help but hate in his heart, he was too bullying, didn't he know how difficult it was for me to train an archer? You have to have talent, you have to train for a long time, and I usually cherish them like treasures, and you just beat them to death. Alas, do you know how much money and hard work I have wasted?

He also hid under the shooting hole without mud, hoping that Jinyiwei's firearm would be released quickly. But Jinyiwei's bullets didn't seem to cost money, one after another, but they didn't stop. It was clear that the shooter was so dead that he could not die anymore, but the bullets still flew into the holes. Suddenly, there was an earth-shattering explosion, and the watchtowers trembled slightly.

If you don't get wet, could it be that the enemy's powder magazine exploded? He poked his head out and looked around, where was the explosion of the powder magazine, it was the enemy's artillery power, attacking the watchtower.

Bullying people is not such a bully, your firearms, we can't resist it, plus artillery, then what else to fight, it's better to surrender.

That's what he thought about without mud, but he didn't dare to do it. Because, he is the main culprit, and if he is taken to Beijing, he will basically be cut by a thousand knives, and he will die left and right, it is better to be beaten to death by firearms, and he can leave a whole corpse.

Not getting mud and not surrendering does not mean that others do not surrender. Shortly after the second solid shell was fired, a bamboo stick sticks out of each firing hole, carrying various white flags to signal surrender. The contents of these white flags are really rich, including underwear, clothes, sheets, and slender yellow, which seem to be footcloths and other things......

Chen Guoqi didn't dare to call the shots, so he asked Zhu Youcheng what to do.

Zhu Youcheng said: "Send a messenger to shout, open the door, bind yourself, kneel down from the watchtower and ask for surrender." ”

Chen Guoqi said: "Don't you agree to any conditions?" ”

"There are no conditions, and I wish they wouldn't surrender. I have done so many immoral things in Cangzhou, and I still want the official to promise them what conditions, dream! ”

Chen Guoqi sent someone over to shout.

A voice sounded in the watchtower: "Officers and soldiers, the little ones have a condition......"

The messenger interrupted them loudly: "Our lord has said that we will not agree to any of your conditions. You are only qualified to surrender, not to negotiate conditions. ”

"There are no conditions, who surrenders......"

When the messenger returned, the sound of guns and cannons began again. The watchtower was crumbling at the sound of the explosion.

The white flags in the shooting hole shook more urgently, but no one paid any attention to them. They can't help but lament that the most painful thing in the world is not to suffer defeat, but to surrender and no one wants to accept it.

After a while, the sound of gears running sounded, and the door of the watchtower opened.

Chen Guoqi waved his hand, and the sound of guns and cannons gradually stopped.

A voice came from the watchtower: "Uncle Officers and Soldiers, don't let go of the guns, the little ones come out and surrender." ”

Hearing that there was no sound outside, hundreds of bandits walked out with their heads shrunk and knelt down with a "plop" when they went out, holding their heads in their hands. This skillful and standard surrender action made Jinyiwei couldn't help but marvel, a group of bandits who surrendered and threw experience. (To be continued!)

ps: It's late again, I'm sorry, I'm fighting for tomorrow, it should be two more today
