It is said that after Tianci and the other two were captured in the General Soldier's Mansion, Chen Jinwu, the entourage waiting outside the mansion, immediately left the General Soldier's Mansion with three war horses and went out of the city according to Tianci's explanation.

At this time, Liu Jiujin outside the city was leading the soldiers to recruit among the displaced people outside the city, and he told these refugees that we are the imperial army, and those who are here to take over the defense and are willing to join us will become the garrison army of this county in the future and enjoy the imperial court.

Many of the displaced people were originally officers and soldiers who had fled from the northern battlefield, but now they are trapped here, with no livelihood to be found, and they have expressed their willingness to join.

Liu Jiujin carefully selected more than 100 people, focusing on screening some soldiers who could ride and shoot, and incorporated them into the team.

Others who were not selected, or who didn't want to be soldiers, were clamoring to follow the troops into the city, Liu Jiujin had to try his best to comfort everyone not to worry, saying that after taking over the defense, it was decided to arrange for everyone to enter the city.

At this time, there happened to be a liquor dealer who was blocked out of the city and was in trouble, Liu Jiujin asked his men to buy all his truckload of wine and distribute it to everyone on the spot to thank everyone for their support.

All the officers and soldiers and several hundred homeless people were in an open area outside the city, drinking and chatting together, and they were very happy, and it was a lively and extraordinary scene.

When Liu Jiujin was drinking in a big bowl, Chen Jinwu flew to report. After listening to Chen Jinwu's report, Liu Jiujin smashed the bowl in hatred and shouted: "Brothers, let's go! Assemble at the edge of the woods over there and prepare to attack the city!"

Suddenly, more than 400 recruits and veterans quickly went to the assembly place to assemble in a queue, when Liu Jiujin was leaving, he saw that there were still more than a dozen jars of wine that had not yet been drunk, he had an idea, and said to those homeless people: "Folks, the wine will be drunk here today, and you will be invited to drink it in the city another day, and our troops will enter the city later, and if you are willing to follow into the city, you can rush in with our troops." After a pause, he said: "But I want to ask you one thing, that is, after a while, everyone will take these wine jars and wait on the edge of the city wall, and when we break down the door and enter the city, you will follow in, and casually throw these wine jars at the entrance of the inner city and set them on fire, so that the fire will seal the officers and soldiers on the city tower, and they will not be able to help you, okay?"

After everyone said that it was good, a few strong men came out to distribute the remaining dozen jars of wine to everyone, everyone quickly dispersed, and they all returned to the edge of the city wall, waiting for the opportunity to move.

According to Zhang Tianci's arrangement, under the command of Liu Jiujin, the cavalry began to prepare for the battle. More than 100 veterans took off their uniforms and handed them to the new recruits to put on, while wrapping thick bark around their uniforms.

Chen Jinwu said to these recruits: "When you attack the city later, you will rush to the front, and when the enemy releases arrows, you must pay attention to protect your head and horses from being shot, and deliberately give your body to the enemy to shoot, and then feign being injured and fall off your horse." Our warriors will hide under the belly of the horses you are riding. When the enemy sees that we have been routed and has lost its attacking power, he will let his guard down and open the gates to collect the spoils. When the time comes, we will turn over from the horse's belly and get on the horse, kill him by surprise, rush directly into the city, and quickly control the general army, and the overall situation can be determined. ”

As a result, there was a shocking scene of the cavalry attacking the city staged earlier, and it was easy to take.

Besides, after listening to the advice of the strategist, Tan Zhenshou felt more and more that the opportunity could not be lost, and the two must be executed on the spot immediately, in order not to leave any trouble in the future, he asked the clerk to draft a confession of guilt, and then he asked the two prisoners to be brought to court immediately.

After the four soldiers escorted Tianci and Xiaoguan to the court, Tan Zhenshou said to the two: "You can confess your guilt quickly, here is a confession, if you confess your guilt, I will pardon you and others for their innocence, and they will be punished lightly, if you refuse to admit your guilt, Hugh blames Lord Ben for being ruthless." ”

Tianci laughed when he heard this: "Ha, ha, ha, this official originally wanted to give you a way to live, but I didn't expect you to have murderous intentions, and you dared to kill the court officials, I think you are tired of life." ”

Tan Zhenshou was seen through by God's scheming, and he was ashamed and angry, and shouted: "Daring maniac, Hugh is talking nonsense, I see that you will not die if you don't see the Yellow River, and you won't cry if you don't see the coffin." Push me to the backyard right away and fix the Fa on the spot!"

The four soldiers were about to come up to lift the people after receiving the order, and the hands of the two soldiers just put their hands on Tianci's shoulders, and Tianci's shoulders shook suddenly, and the two people were immediately shaken to the ground by a force, and the blades in their hands also fell to the side, and then the ropes on Tianci's body suddenly loosened and slipped from him to the ground.

"Don't dream, let alone go to the backyard, you can't even get out of this lobby now, my troops have surrounded the whole army mansion, you can quickly tie up and capture." Tianci said as he straightened his clothes with his hands.

The other two soldiers were so frightened that they immediately took a few steps back, at a loss, Tan Zhenshou was also surprised to stand up from the handsome chair, he pointed at Tianci with a trembling finger and said, "You, you, what troops? Could it be the hundreds of knights outside the city? He, they, have already been shot by my archers. ”

Before he could finish speaking, "Boom!" There was a loud bang, and the gate of the General Soldier's Mansion collapsed, and hundreds of cavalry rushed in in an instant, surrounding the hall tightly before and after.

"Hugh hurt my boss!" Liu Jiujin shouted, jumped off his horse, and led dozens of officers and soldiers into the hall, controlling all the dozen or so guards and soldiers in the hall.

Tianci strode towards Lord Tan Zhenshou, who was paralyzed on the handsome chair, Liu Jiujin took a step forward and lifted Lord Tan up and threw it to the side, after Tianci sat down on the handsome chair, he said to the officers and soldiers: "Give these people a seat." ”

More than a dozen officers and soldiers came up and carried Tan Zhenshou and a few strategists to the bottom of the hall, pressed them the chairs and sat down, unable to move, and the officers and soldiers stood behind them with swords in hand.

Forty or fifty people, including the large and small guards in the palace, were tied up and held in the front courtyard of the hall. The officers and soldiers of the first government were disarmed and subdued without understanding what was going on for a while.

At this time, the herald hurriedly rushed to the front of the hall and reported: "Report, the garrison in the city is gathering from one direction towards the general army's palace, there are about five or six thousand people, and they will arrive immediately. ”
