Xu was worried that the rebels would shell again, and Tong Guoqi had been hiding in the cellar except for one inspection on the way.

Among them, he also summoned the generals who were still alive in the army, and he didn't know what to say to those generals, and when the generals returned to the ground, Chen Shitai keenly noticed that the eyes of several of them stayed on him from time to time.

This made Chen Shitai feel like a fish in his throat, and he was a little uneasy in his heart, he always felt that Tong Guoqi seemed to have discovered something, and he always summoned those generals to let them keep an eye on him.

In addition to keeping an eye on themselves, those who always caught a few ordinary soldiers who wanted to surrender during the day, and beheaded the captured soldiers in public, and sternly warned the other soldiers to put an end to the idea of surrendering.

Chen Shitai looked at the head of one of the soldiers who had been let go by him before, and felt a little uncomfortable for no reason.

Although two hearts rose in his heart, Chen Shitai still did a good job of superficial work, commanding the soldiers to take advantage of the fact that the rebels had no intention of attacking, and used the ruins of the buildings in the village to plug the gaps in the collapsed walls, and cleared out some places, so that the soldiers could have a place to live.

Time passed little by little, and night quietly fell.

After dinner, everyone basically lay down, leaving only the soldiers in charge of the sentry standing outside the village, watching and observing the situation of the rebels on the opposite side.

In order to avoid providing a firing horizon for the rebels' artillery, all the torches in the village were extinguished at night, leaving only the sentry still on.

After most of the people had fallen into a deep sleep, some of the soldiers quietly got up, and they left the resting place in the dark, and came to the cellar where Chen Shitai lived, and gathered there, leaving one of them to stand guard on it.

After everyone was gathered, Chen Shitai looked at these soldiers who had been gathered, his face was serious, and he said: "You have all seen the power of the thief's artillery today, if we continue to be surrounded like this, all of our lives will be explained here."

I advised Master Tong to lay down his arms, surrender to the thieves, and save the lives of his brothers, and as for the result, those bloody human heads speak for themselves.

In order to save the lives of the brothers, I decided to launch a military admonition to Lord Tong, and once again persuade Lord Tong to surrender, since you have come here, it proves that you and I have the same idea, if someone regrets and wants to quit now, don't blame me for the ruthlessness of Chen's sword! ”

After Chen Shitai finished speaking, he glanced at everyone in the cellar, pulled out his saber, and said, "Okay, come with me!" ”

The soldiers were silent, followed Chen Shitai out of the cellar, and with the faint brightness of the moonlight, they killed the cellar where Tong Guoqi was.

The sound of iron pieces colliding with iron pieces in their armor as they walked was particularly harsh in the silent night, and when they approached Tong Guoqi's residence, they were spotted by the guards who were guarding outside.

"Who is it?!"

The soldiers drew their swords and pointed them at several black figures in the night, and asked loudly.

While Chen Shitai reported his name, he clenched his saber and rushed towards the soldiers, and the soldiers behind him also drew their waist knives and rushed forward.

Several soldiers guarding Tong Guoqi saw that the person who came was indeed Chen Shitai, and saw that he and the soldiers behind him were all draped, and knew that something was wrong, and their brains were spinning rapidly in just a few seconds, and they quickly made their best choice-

These soldiers hurriedly dropped their weapons, got out of the way, and at the same time knelt on the ground and hugged their heads, allowing Chen Shitai and the others to pass.

When he got into the cellar, Tong Guoqi had just been woken up by the movement above, rubbing his sleepy eyes and sitting up from the floor.

His eyes widened, he pointed at Chen Shitai, and asked, "What do you want to do?!" ”

"Lord Tong, the brothers don't want to die here, we are here to ask you to give the order to surrender!"

Chen Shitai said without respect, while shaking the saber in his hand intentionally or unintentionally, Tong Guoqi was furious when he saw this, and wanted to get up and scold, but Chen Shitai didn't give him a chance, he waved his left hand, and the two personal soldiers behind him unceremoniously pressed Tong Guoqi to the ground.

"Lord Tong, it's rude." Seeing that Tong Guoqi was suppressed by his own soldiers, Chen Shitai smiled and said happily, while retracting the saber from its scabbard: "In order to save your lives after the brothers surrender, you are a minion who will also be borrowed." ”

"Damn minion, how dare you!"

Tong Guoqi struggled hard, but was held down by two pro-soldiers, one of whom thought he was noisy, grabbed a piece of cloth from the ground, and stuffed it into Tong Guoqi's mouth, blocking his words.

"Let's go."

Chen Shitai waved his hand and took the lead out of the cellar, and soon after he walked out of the cellar, he saw a group of people running towards him with torches, and with the help of the firelight, he recognized the identities of those people - it was clear that they were the generals who were summoned by Tong Guoqi during the day.

Those who led the troops directly surrounded Chen Shitai and others, and the leader pointed at Chen Shitai and asked: "General Chen, what do you mean by leading the troops to Lord Tong's bed in the middle of the night?" ”

Chen Shitai didn't answer him, but looked at the obviously tired soldiers behind the general, and said in a loud voice: "Brothers, we have been surrounded by thieves, and there are no reinforcements in Quanzhou Mansion to save us, and it will be a dead end if we continue to resist stubbornly!"

Tell me, do you want to die here?! ”

“……”

There was silence for a few seconds, and I don't know who shouted first, and then more and more people responded:

"No, we don't want to die here!"

"Since you don't want to die here, make way for me, go outside with me and Lord Tong, surrender to the thieves, and have Lord Tong's guarantee to protect our lives."

Chen Shitai's voice fell, and the crowd in front of him made way of a passage, leaving only a few generals still standing in place, they looked at the retreating soldiers in dismay, opened their mouths, or chose from their hearts to obey the will of the people, and silently retreated to the side.

Seeing this, Chen Shitai breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he ordered someone to escort Tong Guoqi out, and he personally walked through the passage with Tong Guoqi and walked outside the village.

Outside the village, Su Yan was just about to fall asleep, when he heard a commotion outside, and then Chen Ying opened the tent curtain, strode in, and said with a fist: "General, the Qing army in Xianjia Village took the initiative to surrender, led by Chen Shitai, a general of the Qing army, and he arrested Tong Guoqi." ”

"Oh." Su Yan was not excited, this result was as he expected, he had only experienced two hours of non-stop shelling during the day, if he could endure it, then the imperial court would not award these Qing soldiers a best dogleg award?

This is really a model of abandoning his life and sacrificing everything for the court!
