In the middle of the second night, the army came to Cangzhou Pass, and the horse army that followed Tianqi was less than 40,000 people, and the rest were on the way. Ren Tianqi ordered the whole army to eat and rest, and after an hour, he immediately called the scolding array.

Cangzhou City is very important and is the only way to go north to the imperial capital. Cangzhou City stands along the river, there is a bridge on the river behind the city, it is the only passage from the south to the north. At this time, there were 40,000 rebels in Cangcheng. Because he heard about the brutality of the Xuzhou soldiers, the Cangzhou guards were even more determined to defend the city and wait for the situation to change, and they would never dare to go out of the city to fight.

Ren Tianqi has never attacked the city, he has experienced all the field battles, and now he is leading the horse army to the north, and it is not good to attack the city. Seeing that the rebels could not hold out, he was very anxious. Ren Tianqi was troubled, and took Dongfang Bai, Xiaosan, Tianbao and others to walk in the fields left and right, thinking about how to break the city.

The breeze is rippling in all directions, the fragrance of flowers is permeated, and there is an occasional chill. At this time, it is already the spring of March, after the Qingming Dynasty, when all the flowers are blooming, the people are busy worshiping their ancestors, and there are many ashes left by the ancestors in the fields.

Everyone knew that the stakes were high, and the master was quite worried, and no one said anything, but followed silently. Ren Tianqi sighed for a long time, walked and walked, unconsciously unstable under his feet, fell down, his hands were stained with ashes, Ren Tianqi clapped his hands, and was about to scold God, staring at the ashes in his hands, his eyes lit up, he had a plan, he looked up to the sky and smiled, and turned back to whisper a few words to Xiao San. Xiao San was puzzled: "Master, is this possible?"

Ren Tianqi shook his head and said with a smile: "There is no good way to do it right now, just be a dead horse and be a live horse doctor, give it a try!"

Everyone hurriedly returned to the camp overnight, but did not attack the city, besieged Cangzhou City, and the whole army rested.

The next day, the sky was not fully bright. Cangzhou City is in chaos. The citizens rushed to tell the city, saying that the soldiers from the south outside the city were going to dig graves outside the city and take coffins as ladders to attack the city, and some said that the Xuzhou soldiers were ready to break the city and slaughter the city again. Some citizens sent representatives to the garrison's yamen to petition for troops, some citizens encouraged their soldiers to go to the city to inquire about the news, and some people gathered at the city gate with sticks and sticks to protect their own graves.

Early in the morning, Ren Tianqi asked the one-armed general Gao Li to lead two thousand soldiers to dig outside the city.

The rest of the army lined up in front of the pass, surrounded the city gate, and waited for an opportunity to attack the city.

Out of the tree, the Xuzhou soldiers were digging in full swing, but there were crying, scolding, and fighting in Cangzhou City.

Ren Tianqi held a halberd in his hand, sat on the horse, his heart was uneasy, he was anxious, Ren Tianqi was sweating, no one in the whole army ate and drank, nervous and anxious.

It was already noon, and there was no movement of the official army in Cangzhou City, so Ren Tianqi led the army to retreat hurriedly in two ways.

The soldiers and civilians in the city were puzzled, and waited for two hours before sending people to inquire around, and replied that the southbound military horses had already retreated, so they ordered the people to open the door and let the people out to check the graves of their ancestors.

In less than half a cup of tea, I saw 4,000 Mongolian troops on both sides raising dust and killing.

The common people hurriedly retreated to the gate. The Xuzhou soldiers once again surrounded the city gate.

Ren Tianqi led the troops forward, persuaded him with good words, and ordered the guards to surrender.

The guards refused to do so at the head of the city, and some people had already stepped forward to cut down the town, and there was a great chaos on the Cangzhou city wall, some people slashed and killed, and some people took advantage of the chaos to put down the drawbridge, and the city gate was wide open; after a while, I saw the sound of killing in the city, and some soldiers and people fought with the officers and soldiers.

Without waiting for the drawbridge to settle, Ren Tianqi rushed to the bridge with a horse and a halberd, led the army into the city, and the division of more than 30,000 tigers and wolves behind him was urging the horses to float quickly, swords and guns came out, cut people when they saw them, kill them when they met people, pass through the city, and go straight to Kyoto.

It turned out that Ren Tianqi ordered Ma Benqing to take more than a dozen people with good skills to climb Cangzhou City last night, lurk in the city, and encourage the people; this morning, when he asked people to dig graves and cut trees outside the city, he secretly left 100 military masters, disguised as ordinary people, and hid in the cemetery, led by Shuangying, and took advantage of the chaos to enter the city; when everyone saw the army going, they returned, first killed the guards, and then killed the guards and soldiers, opened the city gates, and correspondingly inside and out, breaking the Cangzhou City Pass in one fell swoop.
