Yin Bong didn't know that he had been guarded against by Nan Ye, so he thought of finding an opportunity to escape back to the city. But before he could find a chance, Jiang Xu set the fire, and he had to come with Nan Ye to put out the fire first.

Just as Cao Ying's generals believed that Cao Cao was the first prince in the world, the soldiers under Nan Ye's command also believed that Guanghua Guoshi was the first in the world. But all the soldiers who have seen Nan Ye's methods and the prosperity of Jiaozhou, there is no one who disagrees with Nan Ye, and only they really understand that Nan Ye's strength is not as simple as it seems.

Yin Feng, as a general in Nanye's camp today, has also seen Nanye's power. Whether it is extinguishing the fire with a firebreak or summoning a white elephant, it fully demonstrates Nanye's wisdom and strength. Especially at the last moment, Nan Ye used the fire god skill to rush into the sea of fire with the soldiers to extinguish the fire, which deeply shocked Yin Feng. He somewhat understood why Nan Ye was called the Great Dao Saint, and at the same time, he admired Nan Ye, and no longer felt that Cao Cao was the first in the world. Yin Bong began to struggle in his heart, not knowing whether to sincerely surrender to Nanye.

Nan Ye, who was bent on fighting the fire, didn't know that Yin Bong was succumbed to the power he showed. After the fire was extinguished, Nan Ye sent troops to clean up the fire to avoid a resurgence, and by the way, he collected some cooked beast corpses to make meat, and also improved the life of the soldiers. After doing all this, Nanye continued to build the Thunderbolt.

Wei Kang, Jiang Xu and others have been paying attention to the fire in the city, and when they saw Nan Ye sending troops to try to extinguish the fire, none of them cared, but hoped that Nan Ye would be burned to death instead of fighting the fire. But I never expected that Nan Ye really saved half of the mountain forest. For Nan Ye, half of the forest is enough to build a thunderbolt, and it is no different from saving the entire forest. This shows that Yang Fu's plan to set fire to the mountain has also failed.

Jiang Xu also wanted to repeat the old trick and set fire to the remaining trees when he went out of the city. Nan Ye strengthened his precautions and sent troops to block the four gates of Jicheng, so that Jiang Xu could not leave the city.

A few days later, a thunderbolt was erected outside the east gate of Jicheng. This kind of siege equipment appeared in Cao's camp during the Battle of Guandu, but the drawings given to Cao Cao by Nan Ye at that time were not perfect, and the range and power were not as good as the thunderbolt vehicles that Nan Ye used now, and the operation was more complicated.

Wei Kang and the others in the city had also heard of Guandu's thunderbolt car, but they didn't expect that one day they would face this kind of weapon. When the boulders smashed into the city with the sound of the wind, the generals in the city realized how powerful the rumored thunderbolt was. The strength of the individual is insignificant in the face of the boulder falling from the sky, and there is no other means of defense except dodging, let alone using a shield to resist, even the roof cannot stop the boulder from smashing.

The boulders thrown by the Thunderbolt were limited in lethality, but they dealt an extremely serious blow to the morale of Cao's army. A round of projectiles passed, and no one in the Cao army dared to guard the city. If it weren't for Nan Ye's mercy and unwillingness to hurt the people more, the boulder would have smashed into the city, bringing a greater blow to Cao's army.

Nan Ye had a thunderbolt to help, and he was not in a hurry to order the soldiers to attack the city, but just asked the soldiers to collect boulders everywhere and use them as ammunition for the thunderbolt carts. For Nan Ye, every Jiaozhou soldier is very precious, and the problems that can be solved with stones will never be filled with human lives. Even if it took some more time, Nan Ye admitted it.

After several days of boulder bombardment, the eastern city wall of Jicheng collapsed in several places, and the city gate was completely destroyed. Wei Kang had to order someone to seal the east city gate with a boulder, so as to prevent Nan Ye from leading troops into the city. At this time, all the people in the east gate of Jicheng had moved out, and there was no longer a garrison on the east gate, so they were bombed by Nanye.

Pang Tong observed for a few days, and when he saw that there were no soldiers in the city, he persuaded Nan Ye: "The morale of the Cao army is low, everyone is afraid to go to the city, why don't the national teachers take the opportunity to attack the city?" ”

Nan Ye said: "The thunderbolt car keeps throwing stones, and Cao Jun naturally refuses to go to the city to be beaten. Once our army begins to attack the city, Cao's army will return to the city, and it will be possible to capture the city, which is probably also a fierce battle. I wanted to wait until the walls had completely collapsed before I attacked. ”

Pang Tong shook his head and said: "I know that the national teacher is sympathetic to the soldiers, but I don't know when the city wall will be completely destroyed." What's more, there are not many boulders that can be used for the thunderbolt car, and I am afraid that the city wall has not been destroyed, and the boulders have been exhausted first. How can two armies fight each other without harm? I also asked the national teacher to make a decision as soon as possible. ”

Nan Ye frowned and said, "Could it be that there is no clever plan to take it except for a strong attack?" ”

Jia Xu said on the side: "I see that the morale of Cao's army is low, why don't the national teachers send people into the city to persuade them to surrender?" If they succeed, they can take the city without a single soldier. ”

Pang Tong said: "There are many soldiers in Jicheng, I'm afraid they won't surrender easily." ”

Nan Ye also knew that it was easier said than done to surrender without a fight, but he still hoped that the soldiers would take Jicheng without blood, so he said: "I think Mr. Wenhe's plan can be tried, but if it fails, it will not be damaged to me, and if I am lucky, I will be able to kill many soldiers and horses." But I don't know who will go to the city to persuade him to surrender? ”

Jia Xu smiled and said: "I recommend one person, the national teacher and do you think it will be successful?" ”

Nan Ye asked, "Who are you recommending?" ”

Jia Xu said: "What does the national teacher think Yin Ci has done? ”

Nan Ye was shocked when he heard this: "This person has not really surrendered, how can he persuade me to enter the city to surrender?" I'm afraid it's gone! ”

Pang Tong clapped his hands on the side and laughed: "Mr. Wenhe's plan is very good!" To break the city, it is still falling on this person. ”

Nan Ye said strangely: "How can Shi Yuan say this? ”

Pang Tong explained: "Yin Fengnai is an old general of the Cao army in the city, no matter whether he really surrenders or not, the Cao army in the city will not want his life, it is better than sending people into the city to risk at will." If Yin Feng deceives and does not return, he will definitely inform Wei Kang and others of the national teacher riding a white elephant to fight the fire as a precaution. The morale of the soldiers in the city was already completely lost because of the thunderbolt, and how could they dare to fight again if they heard that the national teacher had the heavens? Perhaps, on the contrary, Kaesong's surrender is not necessarily. ”

Nan Ye's eyes lit up when he heard this, and then he understood that sending Yin Feng to persuade him to surrender was false, and it was true to advertise that he was strong. Yin Feng does not surrender, it does not mean that the rest of the generals in the city are also unwilling to surrender, as long as one person is timid and not strong-willed, it will be much easier for Nan Ye to enter the city. However, Nan Ye still had a concern, so he asked, "What if Yin Feng comes back?" ”

Jia Xu smiled and said: "Yin Fenghui must have a statement." If he sincerely surrenders, there will be no flaws in his words, and the national teacher will listen to it, and there is no need to take precautions in the future. If he pretends to surrender but returns, it must be the city that has given him a plan, or he will lead the army into the city to besiege him, or he will be joined by the outside world. We only need to take more precautions, and we can take the city with a plan. ”

When Nan Ye heard that Yin Feng's possible moves were calculated by Jia Xu and Pang Tong, he was overjoyed. Then he ordered Yin Feng to be an envoy and enter the city to persuade him to surrender. If Yin Feng had received this order a few days ago, he would have taken the opportunity to escape and return to the city, but after seeing Nan Ye's power, his heart was full of contradictions, and he didn't know what to do.
