Chapter 177: Take Nan'an lightly
Ma Dai and Zhuge Zhan attacked Nan'an City, Zhuge Zhan set up ten thunderbolt cars under Nan'an City, the Wei soldiers in Nan'an City saw the huge thunderbolt cars, all of them were frightened and frightened, there was no general in the city, and the soldiers did not know how to deal with it at all.
None of the Wei generals dared to lead their troops out of the city to destroy these thunderbolts, so they could only watch as the thunderbolts were assembled one by one, moved the engines, adjusted the angle of fire, and then filled the boulders and fired a salvo at the gate of Nan'an City.
"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”
Ten thunderbolts roared at Nan'an City, and huge stone projectiles made curves in the sky, accompanied by a huge roar, and quickly smashed on the gates and walls of Nan'an City.
Every bombardment seemed to have unrivaled power, and the gates of Nan'an City were crumbling after only one round of bombardment. Soon, the second round of bombardment hit, and the gates of Nan'an City were finally overwhelmed and smashed open.
Ma Dai saw that the gate of Nan'an City had been opened, and immediately ordered the whole army to attack Nan'an City. With Ma Dai's order, the Liangzhou iron horsemen under Ma Dai galloped one after another, swarming towards the city gate.
The Wei army in the city was suddenly frightened and had no desire to fight. After the Liangzhou iron cavalry rushed in, some of the Wei troops in the city were holding their heads and running around, some were holding weapons but didn't know how to resist the cavalry, and some simply threw away their armor and knelt directly to beg for mercy.
Ma Dai didn't expect the Wei army in the city to be so unbeaten, and the group of Wei troops on the top of the mountain are completely two kinds of people, guessing that this group of recruits has not seen blood, at this moment to see the rolling cavalry, must have been scared to pee, it seems that this battle does not need to add fearless bloodshed.
So Ma Dai shouted: "Those who descend will not be killed!" ”
As Ma Dai shouted, the knights of the Liangzhou Iron Cavalry also shouted:
"Those who descend will not be killed! Those who descend will not be killed! ”
As if grasping a life-saving straw, the Wei soldiers discarded their weapons and fell to their knees on both sides of the road.
As the first group of Wei troops knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, soon, the rest of the Wei troops also followed suit, discarding their weapons and kneeling on the ground to beg for mercy.
Some of the veterans of the Wei army who remained in the city were wounded, and the general trend was gone, and they were unable to resist the Shu army alone, so they had to scold angrily:
"A group of shameless rats, soft bones, not a man's guy, no one dares to fight against the Shu thief, it's really hateful, if the old man is not injured, he will definitely let you see what a real man is!"
Immediately, a soldier of the Shu army put a long knife on the head of this iron-clad and wounded veteran of the Wei army.
The veteran hurriedly said with a flattering face:
"The soldier spares his life, the soldier spares his life!"
The soldiers of the Shu army were angry and funny, and kicked the veteran of the Wei army, and scolded:
"You're still fucking strong, I still think you're a real man, I didn't expect to be so shit!"
The veteran soldier of the Wei army suddenly turned red and white with shame, and after a period of embarrassment, he instantly cleaned up his expression and said with a smile:
"The soldier is right, the little old man is a nest in this life, and he has not made a name for himself after so many years, the little old man plans to wait for the injury to heal, and join the Han army with the soldier master, live a personal life, and ask the soldier to take him in."
The soldiers of the Shu army kicked the veteran soldier again, he himself surrendered from the Wei army in Wuwei City, and he knew very well the rules of the Han army's selection of soldiers, that is, he was a good family, and he was not contaminated with bad habits.
The veteran soldier in front of him, who was inconsistent on the outside and on the outside, and had a hob meat style, obviously had no chance to join the Han army, so he scolded loudly:
"Get out of the way, don't make a noise!"
Seeing that this Shu soldier didn't seem to be easy to mess with, the old soldier of Naming hurriedly held his head in his hands and hid to the side.
The Shu army encountered almost no resistance, so it easily controlled the entire Nan'an City, and after opening the treasury of Nan'an City, it was found that all the money, grain, and wealth were completely preserved.
Although Nan'an is not a big city in Yongliang, and the scale is not even comparable to Longxi, because the treasury is well preserved, there is also a lot of harvest after inventory.
According to Zhuge Zhan's rough statistics, a total of 80,000 baht of money, 100,000 stone of military rations, and a lot of cloth, ordnance and other items were also captured in this battle.
After Nan'an City was conquered, Jiang Wei was greeted by Ma Dai and Zhuge Zhan and stationed in Nan'an City.
Liu Bao and Liang Xu were left behind to continue to besiege Deng Ai.
Entering Nan'an City, Jiang Wei inquired about the entire siege battle, and after hearing that the whole war process was extremely easy, Jiang Wei asked Ma Daidao:
"What are you going to do with these five thousand captives?"
Ma Dai thought for a while and said: "General, I see that the five thousand captive soldiers are all soft bones, our army attacked the city, and almost no one resisted, not a single arrow was fired, not a single knife was fired, and a city was given away in vain. ”
Jiang Wei smiled and looked at Zhuge Zhan again, and asked, "Little Zhuge , what do you think?" ”
Zhuge Zhan said: "This group of people are all recruits, it is a matter of course that recruits are afraid of the battlefield, it does not mean that this group of soldiers is really unavailable, my suggestion is that if this group of soldiers is willing to disarm and return to the field, let them disarm and return to the field, and issue travel expenses according to the rules of the Han army. ”
"And what about the rest?" Jiang Wei asked again.
"The rest of the people are basically people who want to join the Han army, and a round of screening will be carried out according to the recruitment requirements of our Han army, and those who are qualified will be included in the Han army, and those who are not qualified will be given travel expenses, so that they can be disarmed and returned to the field."
Ma Dai disagreed with this approach, and immediately retorted: "I don't want any of these soft bones, if you want it, General Zhuge yourself, I have to say ugly things in front." ”
Zhuge Zhan nodded: "Okay, okay, I want to do what I want, I Zhuge Zhan has soldiers, the more the merrier!" ”
Jiang Wei said: "Actually, have you ever thought about why the Nan'an garrison has such a situation? In fact, in the general's opinion, the reason why this group of Wei troops has become soft bones is because of the lack of an excellent general, which has led to the scattered defenders in the city. ”
Zhuge Zhan nodded: "Brother Boyo is right, there is a soldier in the bear, and there will be a nest of bears, not to mention that there is not a reliable general in the city, Deng Ai is guilty of a taboo in the army." ”
"So General Ben feels that the problem is not entirely with the group of recruits of the Wei army, because it has been several months since the last battle of Longxi, and it stands to reason that this group of recruits has received at least three months of training, and the basic military literacy should be there, Xiong Cheng is like this, and they can't be completely blamed."
"Yes, Brother Boyo, so I am willing to accept them and make them a roaring iron army." Zhuge Zhan said confidently.
Jiang Wei patted Zhuge Zhan's shoulder and said:
"Xiao Zhuge , this group of recruits fought so badly in the first battle, it is easy to leave a psychological shadow, if you want to lead this army, I have a proposal here, their next battle, they must see blood, and they must win the battle, and their self-confidence will be completely beaten. Can it be done? ”
"Guaranteed to complete the mission!" Xiao Zhuge puffed up his chest and replied proudly.
