Zhao Wu waved the riding crop in his hand and struck the enemy spies repeatedly. In order to successfully deceive the city gate into opening, he couldn't help but interrogate these scouts himself.
However, those who can serve as scouts are all the best in the army. How could they surrender so easily?
Less than half an hour had passed, and three or four of the riding whips in Zhao Wu's hand were broken, but he still could not pry their mouths open.
Da da da...
Lin Zhe came to Zhao Wu with his personal guards and asked in confusion: "What's going on?"
"Why stop here?"
Hearing this voice, Zhao Wu couldn't help but turn around. When he saw Lin Zhe arriving, his face turned red and he couldn't help but said with shame: "Forgive me, military advisor..."
"These guys are very tough. There are probably their wives, children, and children in the city. They refuse to reveal the password, let alone help us deceive the city gate!"
After hearing this, Lin Zhe frowned.
Time is running out now. Once the scouts on the opposite side disappear, the city will probably get the news soon. Therefore, if we can't pry the mouths of these scouts anymore, we will have no choice but to attack by force. The casualties at that time will definitely be considerable.
"How many spies have been arrested?"
Zhao Wu pointed at the tied-up men in front of him and said, "There were six of them originally, and one of them bled to death on the road. Now there are only these five left!"
"let me see!"
Lin Zhe held a torch and approached the people on the ground.
When Lin Zhe approached, those people on the ground spat blood at Lin Zhe, and then cursed: "Bah! You want us to betray the general, just dream! Even if I die, I will not betray the general!"
"Kill me! I won't help you!"
Lin Zhe remained silent, and after avoiding the blood spray sprayed by the enemy spies, he moved the torch in front of these people so that he could more easily see their faces.
Under the light of the fire, the anger in these people's eyes was clearly visible.
When these enemy spies saw that Lin Zhe was just a teenager in front of them, they couldn't help laughing and said: "Hahahaha, are you all alone? You actually listened to the orders of a baby, not knowing that his hair has grown all the way down there.
No?"
"Ha ha ha ha......"
Listening to the insults on the court, Lin Zhe looked calm, without any fluctuation on his face.
He was used to the incompetent rage of the weak.
After casually naming two of the five people, Lin Zhe said: "Except these two, kill everyone else!"
Hearing this, not only the people tied to the ground were shocked, but even Zhao Wu froze on the spot.
Really... kill?
Seeing that Zhao Wu didn't move, Lin Zhe said angrily: "What? Do you want me to do it myself?!"
Only then did Zhao Wu react and waved his hand. Immediately, several soldiers came out from behind and drew their swords.
He raised the knife and dropped it, and the head rolled directly in front of the remaining two people, and the blood spattered even sprayed on the backs of the remaining two people.
Seeing the death of his companion beside him, the legs and feet of the person kneeling on the ground began to tremble a little.
This young man is so ruthless, he cuts him off as soon as he is told, without hesitation at all!
Lin Zhe held the torch and carefully stepped over the blood flowing on the ground, then squatted down in front of the two people.
"Let me formally meet you, my name is Lin Zhe!"
"Luckily, you two survived for the time being!"
"I know that your family members are all in the city, so you are worried that you will be retaliated against after surrendering, so you are willing to die without saying anything!"
"Do you think that even if you die in battle in the end, at least your family will still get a lot of pension??"
"madness!"
"Your wife, no, she should be called a widow, and she will be assigned to other soldiers soon!"
"When the time comes, she will take the pension from your death in battle and call someone else's husband; your children will also call strangers their father. If you are more ruthless, your children may not survive at all!"
Lin Zhe's voice was like a ghost, lingering around the two survivors on the field. In addition, their companion had died in front of him just now, so the eyes of these two people were obviously wandering.
Seeing this, Lin Zhe quickly added fuel to the fire.
"Lu Bu has left Xiaopei, and there are probably not many people stationed in the entire city. Even if we attack by force, we can still capture the city, so do I need your password? Is it important?!"
The soldier kneeling in front of Lin Zhe swallowed, mustered up his courage, and retorted hesitantly: "No... no password, you... you will definitely pay the price for attacking the city!"
"Pay the price..." Lin Zhe nodded and said in agreement: "You are right!"
"So do you believe it or not, when my soldiers paid a certain price to take this city, I would kill Xiaopei in a fit of rage?!"
"At that time, let alone your family members remarry, will they still be able to survive?!"
Hearing this, the man's heart skipped a beat. Now he didn't dare to underestimate the young man in front of him, let alone question what he said. After all, his companion's head with white eyes rolling down rolled down in front of him.
Lin Zhe stood up, then waved his hand and ordered Zhao Wu to separate the two men in front of him for interrogation.
"Of the two of you, I only have one left!"
"In half a stick of incense, whoever speaks the password first will be spared from death and will be given a hundred gold!"
"As for the latter..."
"kill!!!"
Listening to Lin Zhe's calm voice, the two of them fell silent. It was obvious that they were having a psychological struggle.
After the soldiers took the two men down, Zhao Wu's eyes changed when he looked at Lin Zhe.
They originally thought that Lin Zhe was just a young boy who was just starting out. A few days ago, they were still unconvinced and planned to ask Lin Zhe for an explanation.
It seems now that it was fortunate that General Jian stopped people like him in the first place.
The young man in front of me didn't hesitate to kill anyone!
"Military advisor...do you think they can recruit them?"
Lin Zhe looked at Xiaopei who was not far away and said calmly: "They will do it. This is human nature!"
This is not a mysterious method, just a simple prisoner's dilemma.
To put it simply, for either of them, they can believe that the other person will not surrender, but they will not surrender even if they don't know whether the other person believes in them.
Once the seeds of suspicion are planted, they will not disappear easily.
In addition, Lin Zhe made it very clear that even without the passwords of the two of them, taking this city would only be a small price to pay.
Does it matter whether you recruit yourself or not?
Before it was time for tea, one of them couldn't bear it anymore. Not only did he clearly give the password to enter the city, but he even promised to bring Zhao Wu and others to help deceive Xiaopei.
And his request is also very simple. At the same time, he must protect his family and receive a reward of a hundred dollars!
This was not a particularly excessive request, and Lin Zhe agreed without hesitation.
When Zhao Wu set off with this man with 300 soldiers and horses, Jian Yong came up and stood next to Lin Zhe.
"Xianyun..."
"If neither of these two people confess, after entering the city, you..."
"Are you really going to massacre the city?"
Lin Zhe raised his eyelids, looked at Jian Yong's frown, and chuckled: "What is Xianhe thinking?"
"If I really gave this order and my lord learned of this news, how would he let me off lightly?"
"I'm not that Cao Mengde, how could I do such an unconscionable thing!"
Seeing Lin Zhe smile, Jian Yong couldn't help but feel a sense of astonishment on his face. The destructive look in Lin Zhe's eyes just now, coupled with the murderous intent in his heart, even he thought that if things went wrong, Lin Zhe might really do it.
Horrible things like that happen.
Now it seems that he is overthinking... This chapter has been completed!
