In Tiantai County, Chen Wen and Yu Guowang each led the troops from their headquarters to form a formation at the city, preparing to serve as a backing for the Ming army that was attacked by the Yijiao.

Seeing that the time was almost over, Chen Wen asked the officer with a loud voice to come out, took the iron horn and went out to fight the battle formation, and went to shout.

In this era, the content of the shouting before the siege is relatively simple. Generally speaking, it is about boasting about the strong military force of one's own side, persuading the enemy guarding the city to surrender as soon as possible, and you can also receive rewards. Otherwise, all the cities will be killed, and some people will even threaten the city slaughter. In short, they will never escape the scope of coercion and temptation.

Chen Wen did not intend to make any new tricks in calling out this time. He just asked the officer to boast about the previous record of defeating the Tibiao Camp and the Shaoxing Green Camp based on his own situation, and then persuaded the magistrate of Tiantai County and the Qing army to give up this unnecessary resistance. Chen Wen could also perform his merits to the Lu Jianguo and guarantee that he would not rob the people. Otherwise, all the defenders would be executed, which was that simple.

However, the Qing army in Tiantai County was very determined to defend the city. After all, Yu Guowang had also been here two years ago, and was defeated when the insider opened the door for him. Now there is only a big orchid thief Chen Wen. Even if this guy is brave, he is still the defensive side in the offensive and defensive battle of the city. Since this is the case, the Qing army's garrison asked his subordinates to pull the bow and shoot at the Nantang Camp officer.

The Nantang Camp officer who was shouting was tough. Seeing that the Qing army pulled the bow and shot the arrows and did not flee, they stood there and drew their swords to knock down some arrows that could cause threats. Then, they cursed at the Qing army guards with a few discriminatory words such as the timid rats, and then went back and handed over the order.

If the Qing army refused to surrender, then there was only a strong attack.

Seeing this, Chen Wen and Yu Guowang pushed out the artillery brought by their respective troops and ordered the musketeers and archers to carry out suppressive shooting at the top of the city after the siege began.

At the same time, the auxiliary soldiers wearing relatively tattered clothes behind the two formations began to dig soil and put them in the cloth bags carried by the auxiliary soldiers who were ordered to go forward. Since they were preparing to attack the city, they had to fill the moat first, so that the siege equipment such as ladders and rushing cars could approach the city walls and gates, thus playing a role.

After preparing for more than half an hour, the Ming army began to attack. As the artillery, muskets and bows and arrows from both sides began to shoot, the Ming army's auxiliary soldiers also put the cloth bags filled with earth on their heads and rushed towards the moat.

Because the Ming army under the city is powerful and has a powerful general like Chen Wen, the Qing army's garrison did not plan to go out of the city to invite war. However, as a military general who had experienced the war, he also refused without hesitation the suggestion of the magistrate to block the city gate with a big stone. The messenger who asked for help had been sent out. After guarding for a few days, the reinforcements would open the city to attack the Ming army as soon as the reinforcements arrived. How could they do such an idiotic move like the civil servants when they were guarding the city?

On the top of the city, the guard confirmed that only the city wall where he was now was attacked by the Ming army, and the other city walls and gates were not abnormal, and more troops and civilians were concentrated to defend the city. Under the command of officers at all levels, the Qing army's archers kept shooting and killing the Ming army auxiliary soldiers with earthblocks.

Correspondingly, the Ming army auxiliary soldiers under the city kept traveling back and forth between the rear of the formation and the moat under the cover of their own cannons, bird guns and bows.

The two Ming army soldiers were already in place and did not launch an siege. They always allowed the auxiliary soldiers to fill the moat. The moat in Tiantai County was led from the nearby stream, not a pool of stagnant water, but after the Ming army kept dumping the soil, it gradually became blocked, and some places had even traces of filling.

However, while the moat was gradually filled, the auxiliary soldiers also suffered casualties, and every time they returned, they only received a white strip as the basis for post-war rewards.

The moat was gradually filled up, but the sun gradually turned west. The setting sun, and the Qing army guards, who thought "this will be the case today", saw a casual glance that he had never seen before in the army for so many years.

In front of the Ming army in Dalan Mountain, the powerful general who had defeated the Tibiao camp was drinking while whipping the auxiliary soldiers who did not throw the landbread into the moat. As they rose, they even used both fists and feet. The soldiers under his command were used to doing their things as usual, and did not take the scene in front of them seriously.

Li Ke used the allusion of drunkenness in the Battle of Papaya. The Qing army's garrison has never heard of it. Not only he had never heard of it, but even the magistrate who was known as a well-read poet and book did not remember this. However, with the popularity of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" in the Ming Dynasty, they knew very well that Zhang Fei had done this and often did it. He was even warned by Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang because of this. It seemed that Zhang Fei was killed because of whipping the soldiers and generals.

Brave, reckless, and hateful evil, Zhang Fei's personalities were immediately made up by the garrison and the magistrate, and directly added to Chen Wen.

"The courage of an ordinary man is not worth worrying about."

After saying this, the magistrate bid farewell to the garrison and prepared to return to the county government to continue urging his officials to organize the civilians and transport supplies. Of course, it is necessary to put in incense on the Bodhisattva, and Zhang Fei is not so easy to mess with.

The sedan chair and the sedan chair were at the city, but they were like the yamen runners who accompanied him, huddled under the city and shivered. They just didn't dare to escape to a safe place because the magistrate was still in the city.

From the beginning of the shelling, the magistrate planned to run away, but since he had already reached the city, he had just gritted his teeth and held on. Fortunately, the Ming army was full of small cannons for field battles, otherwise he would not have found a reason to return to the yamen until this time.

After getting on the official sedan chair, the sentence of walking quickly really exposed the thoughts of the magistrate. However, this sentence full of urgent urging was like the sound of nature in the ears of the sedan chairmen and the yamen runners who were accompanying him. It was like the amnesty sedan chairmen lifting the sedan chair and running away. The yamen runners only took into account the identity of the person riding the sedan chair and did not leave.

The group flew from the city and headed straight to the county government office in the center of the county town, but this scene fell into the eyes and ears of more than a dozen pairs of thoughtful people.

"Brother Cao, are you ready?"

"The brothers from the Firearms Team are all here, and those who haven't arrived should be blocked outside the city."

One of the speakers was Lin Zhongxiao, the former squadron of the 21st Killer Team of Jishou, who was the first expanded. He was already the captain of the team. With his outstanding performance in the battle behind Simingshan Palace and his identity as a squadron, Chen Wen chose as the captain of the war team of the warriors who was chosen by Chen Wen as the captain of the city stealing battle, he was responsible for commanding a killer team of the Mandarin Duck Formation and a firearm team that still uses bows and arrows.

The person who answered him was named Cao Kun, who was the deputy captain of the Firearms Team that was cooperating in this operation. As for the unlucky captain, he was probably blocked outside the city and did not come in.

During this operation, Chen Wen did not intend to consume too much force and spirit, so he decided to send two teams of troops to risk infiltrate into Tiantai County, thinking that he was an internal supporter.

It is relatively easy for people to come in. It is not uncommon for people from Taizhou in Chen Wen's army. These people can only shave their heads, change their clothes, bring some prey, agricultural and sideline products and small commodities to pretend to be hunters, farmers and traveling merchants.

In this way, weapons and equipment are more troublesome. You don’t need to think about helmets and armor. You can use a hunting bow for the time being to make do with the bow and arrow, but a sword and shield, and a spear is a must.

So, Chen Wen recruited a special talent to cover a large carbon delivery truck that had been transformed, and the transformed mezzanine was loaded with most of the weapons of this small army. Of course, the wolf squid still couldn't bring it in.

Fortunately, there were not all bamboos in the city. They got two without much effort before heading to the scheduled assembly site, but they were not very qualified in length, so they should be considered better than nothing.

"Captain Lin, isn't it good to take out Captain Zhang and the others first and let them stay in the Tartar barracks?"

The special talent Chen Wen recruited had been studying with a rich man in his early years. The Qing army went south, and the family was exterminated because of participating in the anti-Qing uprising. After this former book boy escaped by chance, he lived a life of relying on cheating to make a living. Fortunately, he learned nothing about it, so his life was pretty good.

After the war in the Simingshan Palace, a unit of the ExtraBiao Battalion was defeated, and almost no one could come back alive soon spread among the people in Ningshao. With the intention of avenging the family who treated him well, the liar came to Tiantai Mountain to join the army, but he still seemed a little immature in the interview for the application documents. Chen Wen suddenly caught a flaw in his words and had to tell the truth.

In this battle, Chen Wen used the information of Tiantai County officials and gatekeepers brought by Yu Guowang, a local snake, to conduct some analysis and formulated a plan to secretly travel to Chen Cang.

However, Chen Wen could not believe such a liar without reservation, so he had to arrange three young soldiers under him to accompany him, called assistance, but actually monitored him.

However, unexpectedly, everything that had been planned when entering the city was still unexpected. The people entering from other city gates were fine, but when the man named Huang from the north gate passed under the nose of the general, the big cart smuggled the weapons passed by, but some members of the firearm team were blocked outside, and even the four fake monks were escorted to the Qing army's barracks, which was really caught off guard.

"No need, Captain Zhang and other people are not a fool. As long as they have the identity of that monk as a cover, they should be fine."

"But……"

"Nothing, but Deputy Captain Cao and General Cao ordered us to create chaos in the city and wait for an opportunity to seize the city gate. The military orders are like mountains, so there must be no disobedience!"

"I've been taught by humble vocation."
