Kong Yinzhi, who was greedy for life and fear of death, thought of opening the city to surrender, and apologizing to the Emperor of Ming Dynasty when the Qing army retreated. But in that case, his Yan Shenggong could not be saved. Although he was afraid of death, he was really reluctant to throw away so much wealth in the Confucius Mansion. As long as he lost his title of Yan Shenggong, at least most of the wealth in his mansion would be lost.

Because of the above reasons, Kong Yinzhi naturally did not dare to open the city gate and surrender. The two sides confronted each other under the city, and the Mongolian soldiers without siege weapons did not dare to siege the city rashly.

In the city, Zhang Shuheng and others learned about the arrival of the Qing army. Zhang Shuheng, who was conquered as the mighty guarding the city, climbed to the top of the city. He found that the Qing army under the city was under the city, and he understood that it was Li Hong's men who came. However, there was another Mongolian cavalry next to Li Hong, which was the banner of the Korqin people.

"Brother, why are there Korqin Tartars?" Buffalo asked in a low voice.

Zhang Shuheng shook his head: "I don't know what's going on."

The buffalo lowered his voice and asked softly in Zhang Shuheng's ear: "Where are the Korqin Tartars, will we still do it?"

"Of course we have to do it. The second in command has come. If we don't accept him, wouldn't we violate the lord's order?" Zhang Shuheng replied softly. In fact, he also thought that it might be that Yue Tuo was worried about letting Li Hong act alone, so Li Hong wanted to bring Korqin people as a shield to deal with Yue Tuo.

It is necessary to do something. With the help of the Qing army, the cancer of Yansheng Gongfu was eradicated, and Li Guodong's plan was successful, which made the Qing Dynasty hate scholars. This would be very unfavorable for the Qing Dynasty to enter the pass in the future.

Under the city, Li Hong said to Man Zhu: "The barbarians refuse to open the city and surrender, so we will camp outside the city for the time being and wait until it gets dark."

"Subud Khan, everything depends on yours." Manzhu Xili nodded with a smile.

The Mongolians set up camp under Qufu City. The Han people of the Mongolian cavalry under Li Hong were familiar with cutting wood around them, building wooden fences and walls, and took off tents from the horse's back and built them.

It's dark very early in winter, but at the hour of You, which is equivalent to 5:30 pm, it starts to get dark.

Zhang Shuheng, Shui Buffalo and others in the city have already started to move. What they have to do is to attack the soldiers guarding the gate and then open the city gate. Such things are simply a trivial matter for these elite guards. But it was just dark at this time and it was still early to start. At night, the best time is between Yin and Mao, that is, between three and five in the morning. That is when people are most sleepy and the most relaxed vigilance.

Li Hong and Manzhu Xili outside the city did not sleep. They sat in the tent drinking and chatting, waiting for the signal sent in the city. Of course, Li Hong understood that it was a big time to take action. He and Manzhu Xili asked the officers and soldiers to rest. After a while, before the Yin hour, people would wake up the soldiers.

Man Zhu Xili took a sip of wine and said, "This Qufu city is so strong, with a high city and a deep pool. Yansheng Gong Mansion must have a lot of money! It seems that we are here right this time."

Of course, I'm right here! You don't know how much silver there is! Li Hong yelled in his heart. But he didn't show it, but took a sip of wine and said to Man Zhu Xili calmly: "Silver should be indispensable, otherwise they wouldn't be able to build such a solid city. Why do you say that if the brothers come in this time, they can make a fortune."

It was late at night. At the beginning of the morning, Zhang Shuheng and Shui Buffalo and others took a hundred guard agents to leave their resting barracks and headed straight to the city gate tower. The agents were all wearing black clothes, covered with black turbans, and covered with black cloth on their faces.

"Stop! Who?" The patrolmen on the street found a black shadow approaching and shouted.

"Kill!" Zhang Shuheng drew his knife and rushed towards the patrol soldiers. The buffalo behind him also led twenty agents into the patrol soldiers.

Zhang Shuheng held a shield in his left hand, blocked the spear that was stabbed, and hit him forward with force, and suddenly rushed to a patrolman. The short knife in his hand slashed through the patrolman's throat like lightning.

The buffalo and the agents behind him also took action. Twenty patrolmen fell down thirteen people in a blink of an eye. The remaining seven people shouted and turned around to escape. Who knew that the thirty agents lying nearby rushed out, chopping melons and cutting vegetables, and chopping the remaining seven people down in a pool of blood.

The shouts on the street alarmed the defenders on the city gate tower, and someone shouted: "Enemy attack! The enemy attack! There are Jiannu spies in the city!"

The bell of the "Dangdangdang" sounded, and the defenders in the city woke up from their sleep and were in a hurry to put on their clothes. The silent Qufu City was awakened by the bell, and the people hid at home in a hurry, and the timids even crawled under the bed.

In the Qing army camp, all the Mongolians had already gotten up half an hour ago. When Li Hong and Man Zhu Xili heard the bell, they made a quick decision to order: "Everyone gets on the horse! Get ready to enter the city!"

The defenders on the city gate tower organized defense, took out bows, arrows, bird guns, and prepared to fight against the incoming Qing spies.

Zhang Shuheng had already led his men to rush towards the city gate tower. The defenders on the city tower shot arrows. The bird gunman pulled the trigger. The roaring gun sounded, but the distance was too far. The bird gunman who fired in a panic had no effect and could only make a sound to scare people.

The agents of the personal guard rushed to the downstairs of the city gate. The bird gunner on it had not had time to complete the loading. Only the archers shot out a row of arrows, but they were all blocked by Zhang Shuheng and the others with shields.

Zhang Shuheng pulled the arrow and shot a defender archer from the city tower to the ground with one arrow. The other guard agents also set off their bows and arrows, and rows of arrows pierced the air with a sound and pierced the upper part of the city gate tower. Suddenly, a scream sounded from the city gate tower.

The agents shot out a row of feather arrows again, and the guards who rushed down the steps were covered with dense rain of arrows, one after another, with long arrows on their bodies, rolling down the steps.

The man in black killed up the steps. The bird gun soldiers who were busy loading bird guns had not yet completed the loading, but suddenly saw that the man in black had already reached him. The knife players and spearmen who were responsible for protecting the bird gun soldiers were chopped over by the man in black one by one in the pool of blood. Seeing that the situation was not good, the bird gun soldiers threw down the half-loaded bird guns and turned around and ran away.

Zhang Shuheng was the first to chase after him. The white knife went into the red knife and stabbed a bird gunman on the top of the city. The man in black behind him came up, and the remaining bird gunmen knelt on the ground and surrendered.

On both sides of the city gate tower, countless servants from Yansheng Gong Mansion brought Min Zhuang to fight from both sides.

The men in black pulled out their bows and arrows, and rows of arrows shot out. After the several servants and Minzhuang who rushed in the front were shot over, the servants and Minzhuang behind them no longer dared to charge. They shouted and turned around and ran away. They were frightened by the attacker's superb archery skills. Although so many people rushed together, they could definitely rush to the man in black, but people were afraid of death. No one was willing to be cannon fodder in front and rushed forward. I wonder if they would be shot to death, so I might as well run away.

In the city, the awakened servants and Minzhuang had already put on their clothes, picked up their weapons, rushed out of the house, and headed straight to the city gate tower where something was wrong.

"Put down the suspension bridge quickly!" Zhang Shuheng shouted.

Several men in black put down the suspension bridge, and then someone rushed down the steps and tried to open the city gate.

"Shoot the arrow!" Seeing that a large group of guards were about to approach the city gate, Zhang Shuheng gave a decisive order.

The man in black pulled out his bows and arrows, and rows of arrows shot down high towards the streets. The rushing people from the crowd screamed and fell down. They had no armor on their bodies. They were shot by the arrows and went straight to the flesh and immediately rolled down. Although the servants had armor on their bodies, Zhang Shuheng and others were accurate in archery skills, and each arrow was towards the door and greeted him with his throat.

Taking advantage of the firepower of his companions on the top of the city, the man in black, who rushed down the steps, took the opportunity to rush into the city gate and opened the city gate.
