The Wei army in the outer city, seeing that there was almost no chance to retreat to the inner city, fled desperately to the east, hoping to escape from Chang'an.

But at this time, the cavalry of the Shu army had entered Chang'an City in large numbers, not only the Qiang cavalry of Oh He Yaoge had entered the city, but even the Hun archers under the command of Liu Bao had also entered the city, and even the Ma Dai Liangzhou Iron Cavalry, which was responsible for the task of covering the left flank, also entered the city.

Chang'an City has as many as nine gates, which provides convenience for the army to quickly enter the city, and the garrison of Chang'an is basically infantry-based, and it was soon caught up and killed by the Shu cavalry that poured into the city.

Seeing that the attack was going well, Jiang Wei immediately ordered all the cavalry to advance in a roundabout way, which was bound to seize more than a dozen city gates on the remaining sides of Chang'an City, and block all the passages for the Wei army to escape from Chang'an City.

At the same time, a policy was also announced, that is, as long as the Wei army was willing to surrender, those who surrendered would not be killed.

The Shu army and the Wei army have fought for many years, and since Jiang Wei went north, whether it is against the Qiang people, the Huns, the Wei army of Yongzhou, the Wei army of Liangzhou, or even the Hu people of the Western Regions, as long as it is announced that "those who surrender will not be killed!" "I'm going to do what I say.

Moreover, many captives later became members of the Shu army, which is also an important reason why the Shu army was able to have an army of 120,000 in a short period of time.

However, all the soldiers who surrendered and joined the Shu army, regardless of nationality or origin, as long as they joined the Shu army, they would not be discriminated against, and they would all be treated as equals and speak on the basis of military merits, so Jiang Wei's preferential treatment of prisoners formed a good reputation among the Wei army.

So the cavalry of all walks of life rushed to outflank and advance, no longer blindly pursuing the killing of the Wei army, and bravely fought to seize the gates of the outer city, and kept announcing the policy of the Shu army when they ran wildly:

"Those who descend will not be killed!"

The Wei army in the outer city saw that the Shu army had quickly seized the gates of the outer city of Chang'an City, and the gates of the inner city had been closed, and there was almost no way to advance or retreat, so they threw away their weapons one after another and surrendered on their knees.

Soon the Wei army in the outer city surrendered to the Shu army in large areas, and the entire outer city was quickly occupied by the Shu army, and the Wei army in the outer city was at least 20,000 people, except for a small number of people who died in battle, most of them surrendered directly to the Wei army.

The main force of the Shu army also entered the outer city of Chang'an, controlled all the key points in the outer city of Chang'an, and completely besieged the inner city of Chang'an.

Romance

The walls of the inner city are not as tall as the outer city, but they are also more than three zhang high, and the siege towers of the Shu army outside the city cannot directly advance into the city, unless they are disassembled and reassembled, which will take a lot of time.

The thunderbolts outside the city could not be directly advanced into the city, and they had to be disassembled and reassembled after entering the city. In order to speed up the offensive against Chang'an, Zhuge Zhan ordered the siege equipment that could pass through the city gates: fire beast siege vehicles and bed crossbows to be pushed into the city, and ordered the soldiers to quickly dismantle the siege towers and thunderbolt vehicles outside the city.

While the armies were actively preparing for the attack on the inner city, Jiang Wei also sent a letter of persuasion to Xiahou Mao in the inner city.

In the letter, Jiang Wei recalled that Zhang Fei's wife was Xiahou Clan, and Liu Chan's empress Zhang Xingcai also had the blood of Xiahou Clan flowing in her body, and promised Xiahou Mao that as long as Xiahou Mao was willing to surrender to the Han Dynasty, he would definitely not lose the position of marquis in the Han Dynasty.

The Han was willing to give Xiahou Nan a day to consider, if Xiahou Nan still did not open the city and surrendered after a day, the Han army would attack the inner city and kill all the enemies who resisted.

After persuading the surrender letter to enter the inner city, in order to show sincerity and at the same time provide preparation time for the armies to capture the inner city, Jiang Wei decisively ordered to stop attacking the inner city for one day.

Now Xiahou Nan is trapped in the inner city, like a turtle in an urn, even if Xiahou Nan does not surrender, it will be a matter of time before he is defeated.

The capture of Chang'an City is already determined. Jiang Wei set up camp in the outer city of Chang'an and convened the generals of the army to discuss the matter.

As a vanguard, he not only defeated Xiahou Xuan's Yulinwei out of the city, but also captured Xiahou Xuan alive, resulting in the collapse of the morale of the Wei army's outer city.

Chang'an City was able to successfully capture the outer city, and Oh He Yao Ge made great contributions, so in the military discussion, Oh He Yao Ge looked like a spring breeze.

In the big tent, Wang Ping, Zhang Yi, Zhuge Zhan, Ma Dai, Zhuge Zhan, Fu Yan, Liang Xu, Ju Fu, Jiang Bin, Oh He Yaoge, Liu Bao and others will gather together.

Jiang Wei was very happy, and said to Zhuge Zhan with a smile: "Little Zhuge , have the results been counted?" ”

Xiao Zhuge said with a smile: "This time, our army has completely controlled the outer city of Chang'an, annihilated more than 3,000 Wei troops, and captured 20,000 Wei troops, including the elite Yulin Wei of the Wei army, all of whom were also captured by our army. ”

When they heard that there were 20,000 prisoners, everyone had a smug look on their faces.

Wang Ping asked with concern: "Have you captured military rations and treasures?" ”

Xiao Zhuge shook his head: "Xiahou Nan is a thief, and he has set up the treasury and grain depot in the inner city, and the outer city only has the rations of the army, and there are not many captures. ”

Wang Ping said: "Hmph! I knew that it would be like this, this Xiahou Nan is really an iron turtle, he must have expected that the outer city would be lost, so he deliberately moved all the money, food and wealth to the inner city, could it be that he thought that the outer city was lost, and he could keep the inner city? ”

Oh He Yaoge said loudly: "Think beautifully, even if he Xiahou Nan is a turtle made of stainless steel, our Shu army can smash him!" ”

Wang Ping nodded, and said: "I heard that the governor has sent a letter of persuasion to the inner city, I don't know if Xiahou Nan will surrender to my Han!" ”

Zhuge Zhan said: "I don't think it's difficult, he Xiahou Nan is Cao Cao's son-in-law, Cao Wei's clan, and he wants him to surrender to the Han Dynasty, unless the Great Wei Kingdom is destroyed!" ”

He Yaoge asked, "Didn't we capture the governor Xiahou Xuan sent by the Wei State?" Do we want to try to let Xiahou Xuan persuade him to surrender? ”

Zhuge Zhan said: "Xiahou Xuan is also a clan, I'm afraid he won't surrender." Xiahou Xuan himself didn't surrender, how easy is it for you to let him persuade him to surrender? ”

Oh He Yaoge said again: "It's a big deal to give that Xiahou Nan the title of marquis, our Han has always been reputable, and what he promised will definitely be fulfilled, so isn't he still tempted?" ”

Ma Dai opened his mouth and said: "You don't know what to do, Xiahou Nan is a marquis in the Great Wei, how can the marquis of the Han Dynasty attract Xiahou Mao?" ”

Oh He Yao Ge scratched his head and said: "This doesn't work, that doesn't work, then what's nonsense, just hit it!" ”

Jiang Wei said with a smile: "Oh He Yaoge, you still have to use your brains more, the art of war is cloudy, the soldiers who surrender without a fight, and the good ones are also good." If Chang'an City can be broken without bloodshed, this ancient capital of the Han Dynasty can be protected to the greatest extent, and in the future, our Han Dynasty will return to Chang'an, which will also save a lot of construction costs. ”

Everyone nodded, if Chang'an can be restored peacefully, it is indeed the result that everyone is looking forward to.

Jiang Wei said again: "Now Xiahou Nan is already a trapped beast fight, what he relies on is nothing more than the inner city soldiers have enough food, as long as they hold on for ten days and half a month, the Great Wei reinforcements are coming, and they can give our army a center to bloom, and they should defend Chang'an inside and outside, but the general will not give him this opportunity." ”

When Zhuge Zhan heard Jiang Wei say this, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Brother Boyo has thought of a way to surrender without a fight?"
