The battle in Nanpi City began suddenly and ended quickly.

There was no way, there were less than a thousand defenders in the entire Nanpi City, and they did not have the determination to live and perish with the city. As soon as the city gate fell, the defenders from other city gates opened the city gates and fled in all directions.

There were also some bandits who had not escaped. They were scattered around Nanpi City, looting the people and insulting women. They didn't know that Nanpi City had been liberated. The Jinyiwei searched for the people based on the crying of the people, took out the guys naked, and beheaded at the county government gate to show the public.

Nine out of ten houses in Nanpi City were empty, and the number of people in the household was reduced by more than half. If you don’t stick to mud, you will naturally not go back on your word and send many poor people to a place without hunger and cold - the Western Paradise. As for the rich, they are not the target of being rescued. After you don’t stick to mud, you will leave them in the world to suffer.

I heard that the Jinyiwei recovered Nanpi County and the bullied people were a little unbelievable. However, seeing the Jinyiwei publicly executed bandits at the county government office, Nanpi County fell into a carnival. Everyone never thought that Jinyiwei was as cute as today.

Many people rushed to firecracker shops and wanted to buy firecrackers to celebrate, but the firecracker shops had been robbed by bandits. They rushed to musical instrument shops and wanted to buy gongs and drums to celebrate, but unfortunately they were also robbed by the rioters to clean up. The helpless people had to use primitive firecrackers to celebrate, just throw bamboo poles into the fire and listen to the bamboo poles explode in the fire. Some people also used iron buckets, kitchen knives or other loud things to celebrate. Nanpi City spent the night with clanging sounds, which made Zhu Youcheng not sleep well all night.

It is easy to capture Nanpi City, but it is difficult to restore the order of Nanpi City. The magistrate of Nanpi County has been killed by the rioters, the military officers fled, and the yamen runners, troupes, and prisoners in the county were also killed one by one. There was no administrative staff in Nanpi County. Zhu Youcheng naturally could not leave. He left Nanpi County like this. He first selected gentry with a good reputation in Nanpi County and asked them to take over the affairs of the county town in a temporary manner. Then he sent people to Cangzhou and asked Xu Ruzhisu to send officials to take over Nanpi.

When interrogating the remnants, they learned that Buzhanni did not come to Nanpi, and they should have gone to their last stronghold - the Diaolou at the junction of Dezhou and Cangzhou.

Asking for the ball to lead the way, Zhu Youcheng set out to set out.

The watchtower is about seventy miles away from Nanpi. On the ninth day of the ninth month of the fifth year of the Tianqi period, at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, Zhu Youcheng's troops arrived in front of the watchtower. This watchtower is indeed grand, about five meters high, and is higher than the walls of ordinary cities. The top of the watchtower is an inclined roof. It seems that if you want to use a cloud ladder, the ants will attack the city. The effect will be very little. The watchtower facing the outside is mostly brick walls, with no windows, but there are dozens of openings per foot square, which are shooting holes. The iron gate of the watchtower has been put down, and it seems that it is indeed hidden inside without any mud, otherwise those lazy bandits would not have put down the iron gate.

Although Qiuqiu has long introduced the powerful defense capabilities of the watchtower, everyone was still surprised to see such a watchtower. How can such a strong watchtower attack?

Wu Huping had experience in fraudulently deceiving the city and said, "Or why should I pretend to be Cao Shangfei's subordinates. I opened the door of the watchtower like yesterday, and then controlled the gate, and the army took the opportunity to cover it up and kill it. Lord Zhu, what do you think of this method?"

Zhu Youcheng shook his head and said, "It's not appropriate. Flying on the grass is a confidant and beloved general who is not stuck in mud. His subordinates must know each other without mud. It's difficult for you to open the building door. Even if you open the building door, their building door is gate-type, and the iron door weighs a thousand pounds. As long as the situation is not good, they can cut off the machine spring. Put down the iron door and divide our troops into two. The soldiers who lock in the watchtower will definitely be in danger."

Chen Guoqi said: "Today's plan, we'd better block the front and back doors of the watchtower and trap these bandits to death."

"How long will it take and how much food and grass will be consumed?" Wu Huping retorted.

Zhu Youcheng looked resolute and said, "No need to think about it. The army of Xizhenfushi must be good at field battles and good at attacking tough times. We had discussed countermeasures in the capital city and attacked the watchtowers. Chen Guoqi selected 300 magic gunmen and cleared all the archers in the shooting holes. Don't worry about whether the archers in the shooting holes can be seen or not, just send the bullet head into the shooting hole. Our muskets are new muskets, and the soldiers will definitely do it after long training. Wu Huping placed twenty tiger squat cannons around the watchtowers, replaced with solid cannons, and took out a few big holes under the watchtowers. When the time comes, the gunpowder will be set off, and I will blow the watchtower away."

Besides, he was not stuck in the mud under the city of Cangzhou. Seeing that there were only more than 1,000 officers and soldiers under the banner of "Zhu", he defeated his more than 40,000 troops. He was frightened and even Nanpi dared not go, so he retreated directly to the watchtower.

Looking at this rock-solid watchtower, he felt very confident. There were only a few ways to deal with this kind of watchtower that was as hard as a turtle shell. One was to attack the building. He had a long way to deal with this kind of attack. The watchtower was easy to defend but difficult to attack, and there were many shooting holes. He arranged nearly a hundred archers there, which could cause a large number of casualties when the enemy approached. Moreover, there were hundreds of spearmen on the top floor, and they came up to kill one. The other was to dig holes and enter the fort through the tunnel. And no,

It was said that the original castle owner revealed the truth under torture and told Buzanmu that the bottom of the watchtower was made of stone and could not be dug at all. Even if he could dig it, he was prepared. Buzanmu buried a large jar in the middle of the watchtower, and sent people to monitor the sound in the jar every day. If someone digs, the jar would amplify the sound. Buzanmu prepared a pot of hot oil in the yard. If someone digs, hehe, the tunnel will be opened and the white meat will be served.

When I saw the team chasing me with the word "Zhu", Buzhanni was angry. This man surnamed Zhu was so hateful. He destroyed his plan to split the earth and become king. Now he is chasing him to his nest again. Do you really think you will definitely be able to take me? Don't be proud, I will immediately make you suffer a big loss. I also have three eyes when seeing Prince Ma.

He stood by a shooting hole without sticking to mud and looked out. He saw the Jinyiwei in golden helmet and golden armor surrounded the watchtower, holding a musket in his hand that had caused him to suffer a great loss.

Buzhanni said inwardly: "Are you attacking the city from all sides? You can't ask for it. When your elite troops are exhausted, I will open the door of the building and capture you all in one place."

When he was thinking about it, he heard the "bang bang" sounds endlessly. The Jinyiwei fired his gun five hundred steps away. He did not mock the commander of the Jinyiwei for being incompetent, and he fired the gun randomly because he was hit by a gun in his hair bun, and his hair was broken, and his hair was dispersed. The Jinyiwei's musket could shoot so far, no wonder the 40,000 troops were not able to fight back.

His eyes were scurried around, and the archers behind the shooting hole were knocked down by the muskets. Although they were dead, they hid under the shooting hole and didn't dare to move. He couldn't help but feel secretly hated in his heart, "It's too bullying." I wonder how difficult it is to train an archer. I have to have talent and have to train for a long time. Usually I treat them as treasures, and you just kill them with one gun. Oh, if you do this, do you know how much money I have and your hard work is wasted?

He hid under the shooting hole without being stuck in mud, hoping that the Jinyiwei's musket would be released quickly. However, the Jinyiwei's bullets seemed to be worthless, and they kept stopping. Even though the archer was so dead that he could not die again, the bullets still flew into the shooting hole. Suddenly, a shocking explosion sounded, and the watchtower trembled slightly.

I was overjoyed. Could it be that the enemy's gunpowder depot exploded? He poked his head and looked around and found out where the gunpowder depot exploded. It was the enemy's artillery that was exerting its power and was attacking the watchtower.

It is not like this to bully people. We can no longer resist your muskets. With the cannons, what else can you do to fight? It’s better to surrender.

That's what he thought without dirt, but he didn't dare to do it. Because he was the main culprit, and when he was taken to Beijing, he would basically be cut into pieces by thousands of knives. The left and right were killed. It would be better to be killed by a musket and leave a whole body.

Not being stuck in mud and not surrender does not mean that others will not surrender. Shortly after the second solid shell was launched, a bamboo stick out from each shooting hole, carrying various white banners to indicate surrender. The content of these white banners is really rich, including underwear, clothes, sheets, and slender yellow, which seems to be foot bindings and other things...

Chen Guoqi dared not take the initiative and asked Zhu Youcheng what to do.

Zhu Youcheng said: "Send an envoy to call, open the door, tie himself up, and go out of the tower and kneel down and ask for surrender."

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

"There are no conditions, and I wish they would not surrender. I have done so many unethical things in Cangzhou, and I want me to agree to them with any conditions and dream!"

Chen Guoqi sent someone to shout.

A voice sounded in the watchtower: "Old Army, young people have a condition..."

The messenger interrupted them loudly: "Our Lord said that we will not agree to any of your conditions. You are only qualified to surrender, but not the qualification to negotiate conditions."

"Who surrenders if there is no condition..."

When the messenger came back, the sound of guns and cannons started to sound again. The explosion of the watchtower was shaking.

The white banner in the shooting hole shook even more urgently, but no one paid attention to them. They couldn't help but lament that the most painful thing in the world was not defeat, but that no one was willing to accept it if they wanted to surrender.

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: "Official army, stop firing guns, young people come out to surrender."

Hearing the sound of guns outside, hundreds of bandits walked out with a shrunk, and when they left the door, they knelt down with a "plop" and held their heads with both hands. This skillful and standard surrendering action made the Jinyiwei amazed that a bunch of bandits who surrendered had experience.
