As early as when the people in Jinan City fled one after another, Wang Ze sent the White Wolf Battalion to the whole city, and a total of thousands of dead soldiers of the Qi army were found.

I thought that I had wiped out all the Qi troops in the city, but who knew that these thousands of dead soldiers were just used by Murong Shaozong to cover up his purpose.

Wang Ze also figured it out at this time, and he muttered: "What a big deal, he actually took out thousands of dead soldiers as cover, and he is really a famous general!" Ruthless enough! ”

At this time, Yang Ku and Pu Yang Xun hurried to the city together, Yang Ku still had some ink on his face, and he said anxiously: "Lang Jun, we have all ignored a big trouble!" The Futu cultists in the city have revolted! ”

Needless to say, Wang Ze also saw it, and a large group of bald heads could already be seen hundreds of meters away from the city gate, all holding sharp weapons.

Although Yan Xiaowu, Zhu Bofu and others began to lead 1,500 cavalry of the White Wolf Battalion to patrol in the city, these cavalry were scattered throughout the city, and hundreds of people could be gathered on the Xicheng side, and these cavalry did not pose any threat to the thousands of monks who were attacking.

There are more than 2,000 monks who can be seen just standing on the city wall with a stick of incense, and a large number of monks holding weapons can be seen in the distance, and even hundreds of warrior monks on horseback.

Wang Ze felt a sense of powerlessness, he didn't calculate this after a thousand calculations, the inner Ying of the Qi army turned out to be a monk in the city, and the tens of thousands of troops in the city didn't know how many could escape.

Although there are tens of thousands of horses in the city, most of them are rookies who have not been warned, and they can still follow the veterans to defend the city with the advantage of the city wall.

During the Northern Qi Dynasty, several generations of emperors of the Northern Qi Dynasty counted the current Gaoyang Emperor the most Buddha, known in history: Emperor Xuan of Qi, Sheng Hong Interpretation.

Historical records record that in the middle of the Tianbao period of the Northern Qi Dynasty, Emperor Gao Yang of Wenxuan built a large number of Buddhist temples throughout the country, and monks and nuns were all over the prefectures and counties.

Among the many famous monks of the Northern Qi Dynasty at that time, Gao Yang particularly respected the monk Chou, and in the second year of Tianbao (551 AD), Gao Yang issued an edict to invite the monk Chou to come to Yecheng, the capital of the country.

When the monk Chou arrived in Yecheng, Emperor Wenxuan Gao Yang even personally went out of the city to greet him outside the city to show respect, and then Gao Yang followed the monk Chou to learn Zen and receive the Bodhisattva vows.

In the third year of Tianbao, Emperor Wenxuan Gao Yang ordered to build Fayun Temple for the monk in Longshan, 80 miles southwest of Yecheng, and ordered the monk to be the master of the grotto.

In addition to the respect of the senior monks and monks, Gao Yang also has great respect for the interpretation of the Fa, Gao Yang invited the Fashang as a precept teacher, often scattered his hair to the ground, and then let the Fashang trample on it.

From Gao Yang's reign to the current Tianbao nine years, Buddhism has flourished in ten years, and the most outrageous thing about Gao Yang is that he also divides the national expenditure into three points, one point for the state, one for his own use and Buddhism.

Gao Yang respects the monks of Futu so much, so of course the monks will return the favor.

Although Emperor Wenxuan respected Buddhism, he was brutal and easy to kill in his later period, but Seng Chou said that he was the Rakshasa King in his previous life, so he was good at killing 'sex' in this life, and defended Gao Yang in disguise.

As of the ninth year of Tianbao this year, there are more than 40,000 monasteries in the Northern Qi Dynasty, and the number of monks has reached nearly 3 million, accounting for half of the population of the Northern Qi Dynasty.

However, with the exception of a very small number of monasteries that are supplied by the state or the magnates, the vast majority of monasteries are mainly funded by the land they own, and in fact the monasteries have become powerful manors in disguise.

At this time, the monastery had a large amount of land, and most of the land was cultivated by the Buddha households attached to the monastery or the lower-class monks who had escaped from the army.

Fotu household, also known as temple household, as early as the Northern Wei Dynasty when Emperor Wen was dedicated to Emperor Wen by the Sha 'Gate' Tong Tan Yao to ask the imperial court to set up, composed of criminals and official slaves, subordinate to the temple. In addition to sprinkling and sweeping the monasteries, they also had to cultivate the land and transport millet to the monasteries, and were actually serfs of the monasteries.

In addition to the Buddha in the Northern Wei Dynasty, there were also monk households, which were households (mainly flat households) that paid 60 Hu monks to the state and county monks every year, which was a large amount of income for monks.

In this way, the high-level monks of the temple during the Northern and Southern Dynasties occupied a large amount of land by virtue of their privileges, and these lands did not have to pay taxes, and there were a large number of official rewards every year, and their lives were extremely luxurious.

When Wang Ze captured Jinan City, he patronized and attacked the Haoqiang family, but ignored the power of the Futu Sect in the city, which led to today's disaster.

It's just that the Futu Sect has always been under the guise of guiding people to goodness, and it makes sense that Wang Ze, Yang Ku and Pu Yangxun have all ignored this hidden beast.

As a rich place in the Northern Qi Dynasty, Qizhou certainly cannot lack the Futu Sect, and there are at least 20 monasteries in Jinan City alone, with as many as 20,000 monks.

These monks not only owned a large amount of land, but also took advantage of the convenient 'exchange' of Jinan City near Jishui to do business, and grabbed a lot of wealth.

In order to protect their wealth, each monastery also has its own warrior monks and even monks, which is almost indistinguishable from an independent state.

Although Wang Ze did not disturb the monks of the temple after entering the city, these monks were injured after seeing the tragic fate of the families in the city, and many of the wealthy merchants in the north city were actually the spokesmen of the temple.

Therefore, these monasteries were very hostile to Wang Ze and others, and during the occupation of Jinan City by Wang Ze, they closed the temple 'door' one by one, quietly waiting for the opportunity to counterattack, and now the opportunity has come.

Because more than 200,000 people inside and outside the city needed a large amount of living materials, Wang Ze failed to seal the city before, which led to the monasteries in the city getting in touch with Murong Shaozong.

More than 20 monasteries communicate with each other, and the warrior monks and monks of each temple are combined into three units, which are led by three temples such as Xingguo Temple, the largest in the city.

According to the agreement with Murong Shaozong, the Qi army lit a fire and beat the drum the night before yesterday, and waited until noon today when the siege was the most 'intense', the monks and soldiers of these monasteries attacked together, attacking the eastern, northern, and southern three sides of the city's 'gate', of course, the west 'gate' was the main direction of attack.

The people who attacked the west 'gate' where Wang Ze was located were the Futu monks led by the monks of Xingguo Temple, and there were more than 5,000 people, all of whom were monks and soldiers who had been trained in martial arts for many years.

After two days of 'fierce' fighting, there were only more than 60,000 people in the city, and more than 20,000 people were stationed in Xicheng because it was relatively tight, but the 'elite' infantry went to the city to fight with the Qi army at this time, and there were only five or six thousand ordinary young men under the city wall as a reserve army.

However, the performance of these young men is also quite good, although they are not inferior to those 'fine' warrior monks, but they are also fighting to the death, and none of them escaped.

At this time, in addition to the monks in the Southern Dynasty who quit meat and wine 'meat' because of Emperor Wu of Liang, some monks in the Northern Qi Dynasty still ate 'meat', and the monasteries did not have to pay taxes and had abundant food, so the monks and soldiers of these monasteries were extremely 'fine' and strong.

Although these young men under Wang Ze's command are also quite good in physical strength, but because they have been in a state of semi-starvation for a long time, they have only trained for more than half a month, and their physical strength is not as good as the monks and soldiers trained by these temples' special 'gates', and soon the monks and soldiers will defeat the young men under the city less than 100 meters away from the city 'gate'.

Because there were people in the city, some of the defenders on the city wall who could still be maintained could not be maintained, if Wang Ze was not still beating drums in the city to boost morale, I am afraid that some people would have to escape.

Just when Wang Ze was very anxious, he suddenly heard the noise on the city wall north of the city 'gate', and saw five iron horsemen running out side by side on the two-zhang wide city wall.

It is not uncommon for cavalry to go to the city, but these horses are all dressed in horse armor, and the knights on them are also full of iron armor, and they are armored horses.

All the soldiers on the city wall were knocked out one after another, but most of the defenders in this section were killed, and the remaining defenders were mostly guarding the passage near the city wall, and the losses were not much, at most a few unlucky eggs ruined the pond fish.

Five cavalry armored cavalry in front of the road, followed by four rows of armored cavalry, a total of twenty-five armored cavalry, and then hundreds of infantry in leather armor followed closely behind, their task was to urgently deploy defenses, and also to kill the wounded Qi soldiers in the city to prevent the Qi army from landing the city again.

With the appearance of their own armored cavalry, the morale of the defenders, who had been low, suddenly rose again, and they fought hard to slash down the Qi soldiers who were entering the city.

When the first horse passed by the city tower, Wang Ze above found that a knight in the middle of the second row glanced at him, it seemed that it should be Cheng Hu, it was Wang Ze who asked Cheng Hu to prepare for the armored ride, but he didn't expect it to be used by himself so soon.

Murong Shaozong outside the city was very happy to see that his soldiers had already climbed the city in large numbers and were about to take down the city wall, but who knew that at this time, the thieves in the city actually took out nearly 100 armored horses.

There was no need to do anything else, these armored cavalry swept straight at the head of the city, and the previous efforts and casualties of the Qi army were all in vain. You can only send more troops to continue to attack the city, and you will have to rely more on the monks in the city.

"Lou Errong, you pig and dog are not as good as you, even if you die, you will harm others!" Murong Shaozong, who has always been well-cultivated, was also angry at this time.

Obviously, the armored cavalry in the city was contributed by Lou Errong.

Just when Murong Shaozong was resentful, a Qi army scout came to report: "Governor, the big thing is not good, our battalion has been attacked by the anti-thief cavalry, and all the military rations have been destroyed~~~~~~~

Before the scout could finish speaking, a bright light flashed, and a large head fell to the ground.

Murong Shaozong was holding a sharp sword in his hand, and there were still a few drops of blood flowing down the blade of the sword, and there was not a trace of blood in other places, it was really a good sword that killed people without seeing blood.

"This person 'messed' my army's heart, and I have corrected him!" Murong Shaozong's eyes were round, "Pass on my military order, the soldiers of the three counties of Jeju, Pingyuan, Jibei, and Zhuanqi will attack together with the town soldiers, and anyone who slacks off will be killed immediately!" ”

Murong Shaozong was in a hurry this time, if the besieging army knew that the camp was destroyed, and there would be no food and grass, the army would inevitably be in chaos.

At this time, the smoke and dust from a large number of cavalry galloping could already be faintly seen in the distance to the west of the rear of the Qi army, and Murong Shaozong sent the only more than 5,000 state and county cavalry under his command to stop it.

However, as soon as the cavalry was sent to stop the anti-thief cavalry, the south of the city came to report that thousands of infantry troops had entered the city, although the Qi army went to stop it, but it was defeated by the smaller number of thieves.

It turned out that this infantry army was originally stationed in the mountains south of the city, and today I saw that the 'fierce' battle in the city was endless, and even the armored cavalry began to fight in the city.

Chu Honghang knew that it must be the critical situation in the city that the defenders would use this armor to ride onto the city wall, so he immediately contacted Liu Zhong, who was stationed in the nearby mountain camp, to prepare to enter the city together to support.

Who knew that after sending people for a long time, Liu Zhong did not agree to enter the city, but only said that Wang Ze ordered them to guard against the Qi army to bypass the city and go east, but he didn't care that the Qi army was about to capture Jinan City.

Chu Honghang saw that Liu Zhong refused to enter the city, and knew that he must have had a different heart, and Liu Zhong's subordinates had always been independent, at least five or six thousand people, so he had no choice but to lead three or four thousand men and horses under his command to quickly run to the south 'gate'.

The attack on the south 'gate' was the Jinan city monks headed by the Qizhou Tongtai Temple, at this time the city 'gate' at the youth and strong troops have fled, only more than 800 veterans are insisting on defense, and the attacking monks and soldiers have nearly 3,000 people.

Just when the defenders were about to hold on, Chu Honghang led the army to rush to the outside of the city, and the defenders in the city recognized that Chu Honghang's army came to help, and they were overjoyed and immediately opened the 'door' to enlarge the army into the city.
