Yang Zhaoji accepted Gao Shixin's proposal and suspended the attack from the next day. Instead, he sent someone to shout to shake the morale of the thief army and prepare for Gao Shixin to sneak into the city to capture Xu Hongru alive.

"It would be better if you can capture it alive. If you can't capture it alive, you can also cut off the thief's head." Yang Zhaoji said. He didn't dare to demand that Gao Shixin must capture Xu Hongru alive. After all, he was alone and it would be nice to be able to cut his head, let alone capture it alive?

Seven days later, the Ming army built many earthen cities outside the city, and the barracks were continuous. It seemed that the official army had no intention of retreating at all and wanted to siege Teng County. In the past few days, the Ming army besieged in the city has made people shout every day. The content of the shouting was roughly to let the soldiers, civilians and people in the city surrender. As long as they take the initiative to surrender, they will no longer be held accountable except Xu Hongru.

The morale of the army in Teng County has been shaken. Except for Gao Shangbin, Ouyang De, Feng Jiuxu, Xu Daoqing and others who are willing to share life and death with Xu Hongru, the other generals are in panic and plan to open the city to surrender. They know that the Ming army is ready for a long-term siege. Teng County is just a county town, how long can the food be eaten in the city? It will take even a month to survive, and the city will be lost. If you don’t open the door to surrender, you will die sooner or later. Don’t think about breaking through.

Hou Wu, Wei Qi and others had been secretly discussing, preparing to take Xu Hongru and open the door to surrender to the official army.

Three more days passed, and Gao Shixin saw that the time was almost done, so he went to Yang Zhaoji's central army account to discuss matters.

"Let's go and go back first!" Yang Zhaoji asked the people around him to avoid it for the time being.

All the people around retreated, and only Yang Zhaoji and Gao Shixin were left in the central army's tent. Gao Shixin then said: "Yang Junmen, the morale of the thief army in the city is gone, and tonight is a good time to take action! By the third update, someone will naturally enter the city and someone will pick him up. At only one hour at most, you can take Xu Hongru!"

At the third update, Gao Shixin secretly left the barracks alone and headed straight for the walls of Teng County.

Wu Liuqi and Cai Jiuyi, who had been involved in the bandit army, have been promoted to officers of a hundred households by Xu Hongru because they have made many military achievements in the bandit army. They each have a section of the city wall at night. Gao Shixin just needs to climb up from the city wall under their jurisdiction.

Gao Shixin climbed up a section of the city wall guarded by Cai Jiuyi. Except for Cai Jiuyi and his several confidants, the other bandits were sent to bed by Cai Jiuyi because he said that he would take a few confidants to guard the city tonight and let the other bandits go back to the barracks to rest. The bandits who had stayed up late for more than ten nights were naturally overjoyed and went back to the barracks to rest.

Although Cai Jiuyi's confidants were also selected from the thief army, those people were not really thief, and were basically born into the common people.

Gao Shixin climbed up to the top of the city, saw Cai Jiuyi, and asked softly: "Have you found the residence of the demon-head Xu Hongru?"

"I found out, please follow me, sir." Cai Jiuyi nodded.

Wu Liuqi was also active on another section of the city wall. This man was smarter and much smarter than Cai Jiuyi. Wu Liuqi had long been observing Hou Wu and Wei Jiu and other thieves. He found that they had the intention of abandoning the darkness and turning to the light, so he had already contacted them secretly. When Wu Liuqi learned that Gao Shixin was going to act tonight, he went to find Hou Wu and Wei Jiu, discussed opening the city gate and letting the Ming army enter the city.

If we talk about martial arts, Cai Jiuyi is much better than Wu Liuqi's martial arts skills, otherwise the martial arts masters such as Hong Xiguan, Hu De, Cai Dezhong, and Ma Chaoxing in time and space were all Cai Jiuyi's apprentices. However, in terms of smartness, Wu Liuqi is much smarter. Although Wu Liuqi is thick and big, he is very smart.

When Gao Shixin followed Cai Jiuyi and rushed to Xu Hongru's residence, Wu Liuqi joined forces with Hou Wu and Wei Jiu and other thieves to start attacking at the top of the city.

Hou Wu and Wei Jiu led their men to the city gate tower, and only heard a "kill" order. A group of loyal Xu Hongru bandits on the city gate tower became ghosts in their sleep. Then Hou Wu, Wei Jiu and others who abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, pulled out the flag of the rebels of the Scent of the Scent of the Scent of the City, lit the bonfire, hung up the red lantern, opened the city gate, and lowered the suspension bridge.

"Kill!" Yang Zhaoji, who had been waiting outside the city for a long time, shouted, pulled out his sword and pointed at the city gate that opened, and led the Ming army into the city.

The city was already in chaos, and the bandits were a little bit like that. Some bandits were crying and running around in Baotou. Most of the bandits threw their weapons to the ground and knelt on the street to surrender.

At the county government gate where Xu Hongru lives, the bandits guarding the gate were awakened by the noise in the city. They opened their eyes and stood up, but heard earth-shaking shouts and roars and cries in the city. There was a piece near the city gate, and half of the sky was already red. It seemed that there had been a fire in the city.

"Hurry up, go and wake up Your Majesty. The official dog has already attacked the city!" a bandit soldier shouted.

Before he finished speaking, a feather arrow that flew from somewhere pierced into the bandit's throat. Without even making a scream, the bandit covered his throat and fell heavily on his back. Another thief was stunned when he saw his companion fall suddenly. Then another feather arrow flew over and pierced from his left temple, and arrows with dirty blood and brains came out from his right temple.

Two more sharp arrows flew over in a blink of an eye, shooting the last two bandits to the ground.

Two figures rushed out of the darkness. A man as tall as an iron tower rushed to the front of the county government office, hit the door with his shoulder, and knocked the door open, and then waved his spear into the door; the other man jumped onto the wall, holding a bow and arrow, and shot arrows into the yard. Each arrow shot out, taking a life.

Needless to say, everyone knows that the man who jumped onto the wall and shot archers was Gao Shixin, while the man holding a spear was Cai Jiuyi. Cai Jiuyi was simply invincible in close combat. The bandits who rushed out of the house were stabbed to death after a meeting under his spear. Gao Shixin, who shot archers onto the wall, kept shooting the enemies who rushed out of the house.

Several of Xu Hongru's best friends Gao Shangbin, Ouyang De, Feng Jiuxu, Xu Daoqing and others were killed, but Ouyang De was shot to death by Gao Shixin. Gao Shangbin was stabbed to death by Cai Jiuyi, and only Feng Jiuxu was left to protect Xu Hongru and attempt to climb over the wall from the backyard to escape.

Seeing that the situation was hopeless, the demon Xu Daoqing threw down his weapons and knelt on the ground to surrender.

Gao Shixin did not kill him because of this person because of the uncle Ling'er, but asked: "Where is the demon-headed Xu Hongru? Say it quickly! Catch Xu Hongru, the court forgives you for not guilty!"

Xu Daoqing then recognized that the senior official of the Jinyiwei in front of him was Zhang Gui who had acted as an insider for him to break through Qufu County some time ago! Hearing that he could be exempted from punishment, Xu Daoqing hurriedly pointed to the backyard: "Xu Hongru climbed over the wall from the backyard."

Gao Shixin took Cai Jiuyi and rushed into the backyard. As soon as he rushed into the backyard, he saw two figures climbing up the wall and about to jump down.

"Demon thief, where are you going?" Gao Shixin roared, ran for a few steps, and his whole body stepped on the wall, and in a blink of an eye he jumped onto the wall.

As he climbed to the wall, he saw the two people running in front of him. He set his bow and arrows, and two consecutive bead arrows followed one by one, one by one, and two arrows pierced the two people's legs.

The two were shot to the ground and rolled on the ground in pain. The arrows they shot were heavy arrows with barbs, which were excellent arrows used by the archers of the Later Jin Dynasty. When they were shot in the bend of their legs, they would not stand up and run away, and they also lost their ability to resist. Gao Shixin walked forward, but he did not recognize which one was Xu Hongru, so he hit the back of the heads of the Xiuchun Knife one by one, knocking them unconscious on the ground.

Cai Jiuyi also climbed over the wall. When he saw the two people fainted on the ground, he pointed at one of them and said, "Sir, this guy is Xu Hongru! We'll catch him!"
