Chapter 51: Persuasion

When hundreds of flying boats were scattered above Baishui Pass under the command of Guan Hai, just like the soldiers of Jiamengguan saw the flying boats for the first time, up and down Baishui Pass, three thousand soldiers looked at the flying boats suspended in the air one by one, and they all felt at a loss.

From time to time, someone will shoot arrows from the top of the flying boat, and the soldiers standing on the city pass can still put the shield on their heads, but the soldiers in the city pass are not so lucky, the shield in the city is obviously not enough for everyone, and the soldiers without the shield can only find a place to hide.

The opponent's arrows are not densely fired, and deterrence is greater than the actual significance, but the feeling that you can only be beaten but cannot fight back is the most devastating.

"Smack~"

A clay pot fell from the sky and landed not far from Zhao Wei, shattering and then splashing with viscous liquid, and the pungent smell instantly permeated the surrounding area of several zhang radius.

It's fire oil!

Zhao Wei's face changed slightly, and he looked up at the flying boat that was ten zhang high from the city gate, if the other party attacked with fire, he really had no way to resist.

"Papa~"

Two more canisters of fire oil fell from the sky, and the entire city wall was already shrouded in the pungent smell of fire oil, and many Shu soldiers had already begun to run down the city.

"General, what should I do?" Pang Le ran to Zhao Wei's side in a panic and said.

Just scares.

Zhao Wei frowned, the density of the other party's fire oil cans is not large, so half a day, only a dozen or so, if you really have the heart to attack, hundreds of thousands of fire oil cans are thrown down, at this moment Baishui Pass is probably already a sea of fire, the other party is just threatening, and does not want to really attack.

It's just one thing to know in my heart, but the morale of the soldiers has been completely destroyed with these canisters of oil, just looking at the soldiers who are frantically pouring down the city, you can know how big a blow Ye Zhao's move has to morale, even if he orders it to be strictly observed, it is impossible.

"Retreat into the city and prepare for street fighting!" sighed leisurely, in this way, it is equivalent to completely giving up the benefits of Baishui Pass, and the natural danger no longer exists, but even if he does not retreat, the soldiers have all run away, how to resist the army of tigers outside the city?

Under the command of Zhao Wei, the guards were finally no longer crowded, although they would still be flustered, but at least they would not squeeze people directly off the city wall.

Next, there is a street fight, which is also the only opportunity to engage Ye Zhao, otherwise, he is afraid that he will not even see Ye Zhao's soldiers and horses, and he will be defeated.

"Lord, General Guan sent a signal that the Shu army had retreated into Guancheng, and it seemed that they were going to fight with our army in the streets!" A flag officer rushed to Ye Zhao's tent and bowed.

"Order Ding Li to quickly seize the high ground of the city wall, but without my order, or the provocation of the Shu army, don't go to war!" Ye Zhao handed a token to the herald.

"Whoa!" The herald took Ye Zhao's token, turned around and galloped away.

"Congratulations, my lord, the Baishui Pass is broken!" Xi Zhicai smiled and said: "But if you can successfully surrender that Zhao Wei, then Ba County will be returned to the lord." ”

"Then go and meet this Zhao Wei for a while." Ye Zhao stood up with a smile and said, "You can go to Chengguan with me and see how this Baishui Pass looks?" ”

"That's exactly what I mean." Xi Zhicai smiled.

When Ye Zhao took Xi Zhicai, Dian Wei and several people who joined the army to climb the Baishui Pass on the cloud ladder built by Ding Li, Ding Li had already ordered someone to open the city gate, and the vicinity of the city wall was occupied by Hanzhong soldiers and horses.

Ye Zhao and Xi Zhicai walked to the other side of the city wall, looking down on the city, Baishui Pass is a pure military fortress, there are no people in the city, and the defense in the city is not a private house, but a huge military camp arranged according to the direction of the nine palace gossip.

"The morale of the army has been lost, so there is nothing to worry about." After Ye Zhao looked at it carefully for a while, he looked back at the generals and said with a smile: "Who is willing to go and say that Zhao Wei will be surrendered?" ”

"Lord, the last general is willing to go!" Ding Li took a step forward and bowed to Ye Zhao.

"How do you say surrender to him?" Ye Zhao looked at Ding Li and asked with a smile.

"Now that the Baicheng Pass has been broken, the main force of our army has occupied the city wall, once the war starts, it will definitely be like a bamboo, the lord does not want to make more killings, and the special order will come to the end!" Ding Lilang said.

This is basically the regular process of surrendering, and it does echo the situation in front of you, the city walls are occupied, and when the troops are not dominant, the retreat route has been cut off, and the Shu army has become a turtle in the urn.

But this is just a routine, maybe Zhao Wei can be persuaded to surrender, but he can't be made to work for Ye Zhao willingly, Ye Zhao wasted such a big effort, not just for the three thousand Shu troops in Baishuiguan, what he wants is the Bashu Shiren group behind Zhao Wei, if it weren't for this, just one Zhao Wei would not let Ye Zhao come over in person with such fanfare.

"What General Ding said is not unreasonable." Xi Zhicai smiled and said: "It's just that General Ding knows, why did the lord go to such great lengths to recruit that Zhao Wei?" ”

"This ......" Ding Li really didn't know that the war was brought out by Ye Zhao, but if he wanted to say that this was the ability to look at people's hearts, he hadn't learned it.

"The three thousand soldiers and horses in Baishuiguan, including that Zhao Wei, are not important, the important thing is that behind that Zhao Wei, there are Ba County and even the entire Shuzhong Gate Valve behind him, if that Zhao Wei is sincere, he can help the lord easily take down the entire Ba County, as General Ding said, maybe lead Zhao Wei to be broken and surrendered, but he will not be convinced, and he will not help the lord persuade the Bashu people to vote." Xi Zhicai smiled.

"How do you say that?" Ding Li asked Xi Zhicai for advice.

"What General Ding said before is not wrong, let Zhao Wei know first, in addition to Baishui Pass, Jia Meng and Zitong have been captured by our army, so Zhao Wei should not expect reinforcements from the Shu army, Liu Yan may not know about this at this moment." Xi Zhicai said with a smile: "As for the aftermath, tell Zhao Wei that my lord is not greedy for this Shuzhong, but I actually heard that Liu Yan treated the Shu sergeants harshly, and he couldn't bear the suffering of the Shu sergeants, so he led the army to attack." ”

Ding Li glanced at Xi Zhicai, it sounded like it was not much different from what he said before, but it felt like it was a little less momentum that a winner should have.

His eyes couldn't help but look at Ye Zhao.

"Just do as the military advisor says." Ye Zhao nodded and said.

"Whoa!" Ding Li bowed down to receive the order, turned around and left, and after arranging the defense, he ordered someone to hand over the post, entered the customs alone, and looked for Zhao Wei to discuss the matter.

Zhao Wei didn't agree immediately, hoping that Ye Zhao could give him some time to think about it, Ye Zhao was not in a hurry, the three levels have been completely won so far, and the next step is Bajun, try to take Bajun before Liu Yan reacts, so that the Hanzhong army can have a foothold in Shuzhong.
