Daming Military Empire

Chapter 556 The Soldier Without Fighting

Outside the bastion, there were banners and flags like a forest, and as far as the eye could see, they were all square formations of the Ming army, one by one, neat and orderly, with no edges in sight; inside the bastion, people were panic-stricken, and everyone was pale and frightened Caught in the middle by more than 100 million Ming troops, the Tsarist Russian defenders in the bastion were desperate or desperate.

After a burst of artillery roar, although there were no casualties in the defenders, the despair on everyone's face became stronger. How can people live if the artillery of the Ming army can blast so far?Once a war starts, it will be a dead end!

Fortunately, the Ming army did not intend to kill them all. After ten rounds of artillery fire, the Ming army immediately rushed out of the formation. It was obvious that they were here to persuade them to surrender.

Is this still advisable?With such disparity in strength, who would dare to resist? Wouldn't they be looking for death!
It's not that the soldiers of Tsarist Russia are not heroic enough. Being brave also depends on the occasion. With such an obvious gap in strength, even if all of them die heroically, it is impossible to win. What's the point of being brave?
Besides, they don't have any sense of belonging to this land. It was originally the land of the Siberian Khanate. It wasn't long after they snatched it, and it wasn't their homeland at all.

At this time, all the defenders had only one idea, to surrender if they could, and to live rather than die. Therefore, when they saw the Ming army sending a cavalry to persuade them to surrender, everyone showed hope.

Victor, the bastion guard, was also terrified. When the Ming army opened fire, although he knew that the shells could not hit the top of the tower where he was, he subconsciously hid behind the arrow stack.

When the Ming army stopped shelling, he cautiously stuck his head out and looked at the Ming army formation in the distance. His performance was like a frightened bird.

There was no movement at all in the formation of the Ming army, but a man galloped towards the bastion on horseback.

He was here to persuade him to surrender, and Victor instantly showed a look of excitement.

He quickly took out his binoculars and saw that the envoy sent by the Ming army to persuade him to surrender was his old acquaintance, Andrei, who was also a major general of the Tsarist Russian Army with him!

He hurriedly ran down the tower, and quickly ran to the first floor of the bastion, shouting as he ran, "Attention everyone, don't fire, don't fire, it's General Andre."

Whoever dares to fire at this time will kill the envoys of the Ming army to persuade them to surrender, and they will just wait to be blasted to pieces by the Ming army!
After all, the running speed of a person is not as fast as that of a galloping horse. Before Victor reached the first floor of the bastion, Andrei had already reached the bottom of the city wall.

The two bastions were not far away, and the soldiers guarding the city naturally knew Major General Andre, and they didn't need to be instructed by the superiors, so they quickly lowered a frame, and hoisted people up with three or two strokes.

As soon as Victor ran to the first floor of the bastion, he saw Andre stepping out of the frame. He couldn't help rushing up to hug Andre, and said excitedly: "Andre, my good friend, no Thinking of seeing you again and hearing the news that the bastion you garrisoned was breached by the Ming army, I don't know how worried I am for your safety."

Andre patted him on the back and said gratifiedly: "Victor, my good friend, thank you for your concern, I'm fine, don't worry, the Ming army treats the prisoners well, except for some work, everything else is just like Normal people are no different."

Victor heard the words, let go of Andre, and asked excitedly: "Is what you said true? You were sent by them to persuade you to surrender?"

Andre said with a wry smile: "My good friend, how could I lie to you? They really asked me to persuade you to surrender. I believe you can also see the current situation clearly. Marshal Golovin has given up on us. What he said All support and sneak attacks are all lies."

Victor immediately nodded and said: "I know, I know, surrender, no problem, we surrender, we surrender, you say, what should we do?"

Andre patted him on the shoulder with relief and said: "My good friend, I am very happy that you can listen to my advice. The Ming army's request is very simple. You open the city gate, throw the weapons into a pile, and line up Just wait for the phalanx."

When Victor heard this, he immediately said loudly: "Did you hear that? Open the city gate quickly. Everyone throws their weapons at the gate of the city, and then line up to wait for the Ming army to accept the surrender."

Without his urging, the nearby soldiers immediately scattered, some called for people to open the city gate, and some ran to tell everyone to leave the city and line up.

Soon, the city gate on the first floor of the bastion opened, and groups of Tsarist Russian soldiers came out of it, threw their weapons at the city gate, and then consciously lined up on both sides of the city gate.

Andre accompanied Victor to the outside of the city gate, checked the situation, and then raised his hand to make an agreed gesture.

Lu Xiangsheng saw his gesture through the binoculars, and immediately laughed and said, "Brother Boya, you really are the one who is superior in skill. You can defeat others without fighting, and you are good at what you do. Do you go or I go?"

What he meant was that he didn't want to take the credit for Sun Chuanting. After all, Sun Chuanting was in charge of Bastion No. 21, and the strategy of persuading surrender was also thought up by Sun Chuanting. Others' credit has been robbed.

Sun Chuanting didn't care about this. He was already a first-rank official and an extremely personable minister. He had nothing else to think about. As for the position of Generalissimo of the Army, he didn't have any extravagant thoughts. When Lu Xiangsheng said this, he couldn't help but shook his head and smiled wryly. Said: "Brother Jiandou, what else do you and I have to share, let's go together."

Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help but nodded awkwardly when he heard the words: "That's right, I was thinking too much, okay, let's go together."

After all, he was not pretentious, and waved his hand directly: "Order, the first cavalry division of the Tianxiong Army will go with me to accept the surrender."

Seeing that he had spoken, Sun Chuanting waved along and said, "Order, the First Division of the Qin Army's Infantry will follow me to accept the surrender."

Soon, [-] cavalrymen and [-] infantrymen gathered behind each of them. Seeing that they were almost ready, Sun Chuanting immediately raised his hand and said, "Brother Jiandou, please."

Hearing this, Lu Xiangsheng raised his hand and laughed loudly, "Hahahaha, okay, let's go."

After all, he took the lead in riding his horse and marched towards the bastion.

Sun Chuanting immediately rode his horse and followed behind him, and the two led 2 horses to accept the surrender.

When Andre saw Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Chuanting leading the army, he immediately said to Victor next to him, "Did you see that, the one in front is General Lu Xiangsheng, Generalissimo of the Ming Empire Army, and Sun Chuanting, the Deputy Marshal of the Army of the Ming Empire, is following him Admiral, you have to be respectful."

Victor nodded when he heard the words. As soon as Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Chuanting came to the bastion, they raised their hands and ordered the troops behind to stop advancing. , see Marshal Sun Chuanting, please the two Marshals to accept our surrender."

The interpreter of the Ming Army followed Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Chuanting. As soon as Victor finished speaking, the interpreter immediately repeated his words in Chinese.

When Lu Xiangsheng heard this, he said seriously: "Very well, on behalf of the Ming Empire, I accept your surrender."
