Chapter 777: Surrender

readx;? The person who knew the time was Junjie, and Yuan Tianba ordered the army to assassinate the camp and retreat in sections. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Although the Thorn Battalion could not succeed in defeating the enemy, as an elite army force of the Xia Kingdom, the Thorn Battalion was naturally different from the motley army that had no rules to speak of, even if they wanted to retreat, they knew very well that a hasty retreat would only result in the annihilation of the entire army.

Therefore, the sergeants of the military assassination battalion, following the order, began to retreat in sections.

It's just that, because they are facing the Xinghua Army, which does not need to consider saving ammunition at all, and the strength is far from being enough to compare with it, no matter how well-trained they are, they still can't retreat with their whole body, even if they have tried to resist the Xinghua Army with all their might, they still can't stop the Xinghua Army's fierce offensive after all.

The offensive of the Xinghua Army is like a bamboo, so the line of control of the Xinghua Army is also constantly advancing, and the speed is still surprisingly fast.

For Yuan Tianba's military assassination battalion, the pursuit of the Xinghua Army was really aggressive!

Just like in front of him, Yuan Tianba had just walked out of the gate of Jianguan, and before he had time to be lucky, he suddenly heard a gunshot behind him, and in the next second, he found that a bullet hit his own soldier.

Yuan Tianba was suddenly shocked in his heart, secretly screaming that it was not good, and immediately turned his head to look, and sure enough, he found that a team of Xinghua troops had rushed to a place fifty meters away, if it weren't for the personal soldier behind him who happened to block him to block a shot for him, I am afraid that the person who was shot at this time was Yuan Tianba himself.

The sound of gunfire and the comrades who were shot shocked the rest of the sergeants of the assassination battalion.

"Hurry up, general, let's go!" The cronies desperately used their bodies to block Yuan Tianba's back, fearing that he would be shot.

However, at this critical moment of life and death, Yuan Tianba was a little hesitant.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Yuan Tianba would have almost couldn't believe that the Xinghua Army's advance speed could be so amazing. More importantly, Yuan Tianba suddenly thought that if he could see the pursuing Xinghua soldiers here, wouldn't that mean that the soldiers of the Thorn Battalion who had not yet retreated had probably been wiped out? Otherwise, it would not be possible to explain the scene in front of him -- the Xinghua Army would not abandon the soldiers of the Thorn Camp who had not yet retreated and came to pursue them.

Realizing this, Yuan Tianba was shocked and angry! However, he could only endure it, because they were obviously not the opponent of the Xinghua Army.

"Retreat! Everyone retreat together!" Yuan Tianba shouted at these cronies who were desperately protecting him.

When the catastrophe came, Yuan Tianba would not ask the soldiers of the military assassination camp to be human flesh walls for his thoughtfulness, and he couldn't say the words of his brothers. Therefore, Yuan Tianba gave up any idea of holding on and took the lead and ran.

It's just that Yuan Tianba's weakness was also revealed at this time - at that time, in order to facilitate the siege of the city, Yuan Tianba didn't even come on horseback, and now there is no other way but to run on his feet.

It's just that even if Yuan Tianba is so down, the soldiers of the Xinghua Army have no intention of letting Yuan Tianba go.

Wei Changhai has already issued a killing order, and he will kill until the city of Huguan, and he will not let go of the remnants of the Xia army. Therefore, one small unit after another of the Xinghua Army pursued all the way, and even chased directly out of the city to chase and kill the soldiers of the Xia Kingdom.

Under the pressure of the Xinghua army all the way, Yuan Tianba's army assassination camp was defeated and retreated, and was finally forced to withdraw from the sword pass. Regaining control of Jianguan, the Xinghua Army once again erected the national flag at the site of the ruins of the Jianguan City Wall!

After the war, the Xinghua Army was located at Jianguan and rested for a while.

Looking at the flag of the Xinghua Empire fluttering again, Wei Changhai's heart burned with a strong sense of pride. In this battle, the Xinghua army won the victory, which seemed to have crossed a major hurdle for Wei Changhai, and made him more confident.

"Immediately report to Your Majesty that we have recaptured the Sword Pass. Within an hour, the inside and outside of the sword pass will be completely cleaned. 20,000 troops are on standby, ready to attack Huguan in the Xia Kingdom. Wei Changhai summoned the liaison soldiers and ordered them to send back the good news of the victory of the Xinghua Army in the Battle of Jianguan to His Majesty as soon as possible.

This move is undoubtedly Wei Changhai's determination to the emperor. In this battle of Jianguan, Wei Changhai led the troops well and made outstanding military achievements, and he will definitely be praised by His Majesty. However, this is not enough for Wei Changhai, he still wants more, for example, to win the opportunity to lead troops to attack the Xia Kingdom.

At the pass of Huguan, a large number of Xia troops crowded at the entrance, trying to escape into the pass.

However, the defenders of Huguan had already learned the news of the defeat of the Xia army's forward camp in advance, so they had already prepared to deal with it, mainly to prevent the sudden influx of the defeated army, which made the guards of Huguan overwhelmed.

After all, it is a duty duty to accept colleagues who have lost battles, but it is difficult to guarantee that the remnants of the Xia army will not be mixed with the enemy's soldiers; even if there are no enemy spies mixed in, once the gate is opened, a large number of defeated troops will pour in, and it will not be easy to close it for a while, if the Xinghua army takes advantage of the opening of the middle gate to wave its army straight into the Huguan Pass, then the Xia army will be caught off guard.

In order to cut off this possibility, Marshal Bai Qi had already returned to the pass, and ordered the defenders to guard against it, and not to open the gate of the Huguan easily. Therefore, the generals guarding the pass directly closed the gate of the kettle.

At this moment, it is naturally the remnants of the Xia army that are affected. They were already being pursued, and they managed to save their lives and rush to Huguan Pass, but they were turned away! They were not allowed to enter the pass, and then there were chasing soldiers who were about to arrive, and under the fear of fear, these defeated generals of the Xia army could not help but scold again, and begged the Huguan guards to open the door.

When they rushed into the camp of the Xia army, as far as the eye could see, there was a tragic scene of corpses all over the field and rivers of blood.

These corpses were all generals and soldiers of the Xia Army, but the officers of the Xinghua Army, after roughly inspecting the situation of the corpses, found that although there were many Xia soldiers who were directly killed by rockets, there were still a considerable number of corpses of Xia soldiers who were not blown up, but were obviously trampled to death.

It seems that the rocket artillery attack not only brought heavy casualties to the Xia army camp, but also caused them to panic extremely.

Because the speed of the Xinghua Army's pursuit was not slow, they also found that the Xia Army camp was not completely annihilated, and a considerable number of Xia Army soldiers were still alive. However, this part of the Xia army soldiers all had a grizzled and dejected face, and all of them had lost the mind to resist. Not only that, but some Xia soldiers, when they saw Xinghua Army, their first reaction was to kneel on the ground, raise their hands to show surrender, or hold their heads in their hands in fear.

Inside and outside the Sword Pass, the Xia army invested more than 100,000 troops.

However, in addition to the Xia soldiers who died and fled, there were nearly 30,000 Xia soldiers who left them, all of whom laid down their weapons one after another, were defeated without a fight, and took the initiative to surrender to the Xinghua soldiers. There were even more than 100 Xia soldiers who directly threw away their weapons, including crossbow arrows, and surrendered to a Xinghua soldier.

Even in the situation of the disparity between the enemy and our forces, the Xia army, which had more numbers, was already scared and did not dare to resist any longer.

In the face of the enemy's Xinghua Army, the soldiers of the Xia Army have reached the point of fear.

In vain, Wei Changhai was ambitious and ready to supervise the battle, but unexpectedly encountered this situation.

"General, the 30,000 soldiers of the Xia Army surrendered, should we accept it?" asked the subordinate officer.

This unexpected situation really startled Wei Changhai, and he couldn't react at the moment, and he didn't know whether it was time to accept the surrender of the Xia soldiers.

After all, you must know that 30,000 soldiers is not a small number, it is not so easy to control, if one is not careful, it will be a surrender, but it is also very likely to backfire on itself. It is precisely because of this risk that most countries in other worlds actually do not like to accommodate too many troops after a battle, and in order to prevent immeasurable harm in the future, it has become the common practice of the victorious country to kill and surrender troops.

However, it may be that after the Xinghua Army attacked Yunzhou and successfully occupied Yunzhou, there was no record of killing and surrendering troops, and these soldiers of the defeated army of the Xia State would choose to surrender to the Xinghua Army, and there was almost no reluctance.

But this is a headache for Wei Changhai, he feels that although it is also an acceptable way to contain and surrender troops, the problem is that the number of surrendered troops is too large. Faced with a decision that hid huge risks, he didn't dare to make up his own mind at the moment, so he summoned the herald and ordered him to send a telegram to report the situation to the emperor.

Yi Xingchen heard that 30,000 troops had surrendered, and contrary to Wei Changhai's reaction, he felt very happy. Yi Xingchen didn't think it was a problem, but felt that it was an opportunity for the empire.

A large number of troops, for the empire, it is all labor. Only the emperor and cabinet ministers will understand this truth. Wei Changhai is only a general, and his knowledge is not broad enough, and he needs some experience to understand.

The Xinghua Empire could send troops into the mines, and a large number of mine workers could be freed up and trained to join the factories under construction.

Most importantly, Wei Changhai was worried about unguarded surrenders. Yi Xingchen was not worried at all, he could directly send the surrendered troops to the rear of the Xinghua Empire, and the third-level legion or the fourth-level legion would be able to watch over so many descendants. In fact, if there are more than 100,000 troops, one area of Xinghua New City in the Xinghua Empire will be completely digested. After that, there is also the heavy industry base of Xilin City. The Xinghua Empire plans to recruit a large number of people from Xilin City, and the recent continuous war has recruited a lot of young and strong, and there will inevitably be a shortage of population, and the captives are just to fill the vacancy.

Yi Xingchen's instructions to Wei Changhai were to take a rope and tie them up with a rope for each of the Xia Kingdom's troops, divide them into ten parts, and guard them in a centralized manner, and then send a force of 5,000 people to guard them with machine guns.

Then, Yi Xingchen returned to Xinghua City through the space passage, and ordered the cabinet, the Ministry of National Defense, the officer training camp, the Xinghua City Guards, and the reserve soldiers to prepare prisons or concentration camps to receive prisoners. The cabinet was asked to develop a plan to receive surrendered troops and gradually replace miners in some mines. For example, some miners in Ganglong Kingdom are striving for the assessment and want to become a national of the Xinghua Empire. This group of Xia captives can just take over from them and become new miners. If there are captives who are difficult to train, they can also be sent to Anhua City, so that they can build the city as slaves.

The cabinet received an order from the emperor and immediately began to prepare.

Prime Minister Eli asked Yi Xingchen if he could transfer the space key to the outside of Xinghua City. Cabinet ministers were reluctant to take prisoners in and out of the palace.

Yi Xingchen agreed, and specially ordered the Air Traffic Management Bureau to be responsible for ensuring that the key to the space passage is not lost, as well as the safety in the space passage.

Yi Xingchen arranged various things, and led Wei Quai's troops and artillerymen to transport the multiple rocket launchers to Jianguan.

Entering the Sword Pass, Yi Xingchen saw that the Sword Pass was full of broken buildings, and there were almost no safe houses. Not only that, but he also saw some blood stains from time to time. It can be seen that the battle in Jianguan City is very fierce!

Yi Xingchen's temporary garrison is the temporary headquarters of Jianguan. Currently, it is the most secure command center in Jianguan.

"Sword Pass Defender Wei Changhai, salute Your Majesty!" Wei Changhai saluted Yi Xingchen. In wartime, officers and soldiers of the empire were allowed to bow to the emperor without any bowing and to salute the emperor instead.

Yi Xingchen also saluted Wei Changhai and said, "General Wei Changhai, you have worked hard!"

"Thank you Your Majesty for your concern!" Wei Changhai said.

"General Wei Changhai, you arrange for the officers, take the artillery and artillery, and send them to the artillery position for placement. Yi Xingchen said.

"Rest assured, Your Majesty, I have made arrangements. Wei Changhai immediately ordered the officers to lead the artillerymen to the artillery position at Jianguan.

"30,000 captives, where are you arranged?" Yi Xingchen asked again.

"Your Majesty, there is no extra space in the Sword Pass, so I placed the prisoners outside the Sword Pass and temporarily surrounded them with some wooden fences. Wei Changhai said.

"You immediately arrange for manpower to prepare strips of cloth for the blindfold. In batches, take the captives in, and then blindfold the captives, and I will send someone to take them away. Yi Xingchen said.

Wei Changhai responded: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will do it immediately!"

"Wait, you leave this to another officer. I have something to ask you...... Is the army ready for the counterattack?" Yi Xingchen asked.

"Your Majesty, the 20,000 counteroffensive troops are ready, and they can attack Huguan at any time. Wei Changhai replied.

"Okay, you immediately lead 20,000 counteroffensive troops and assemble outside the Sword Pass. Later, there will be ammunition supplies delivered. After the ammunition supply arrives, our artillery will launch an attack on Huguan. After the shelling ended, 20,000 counteroffensive troops immediately marched towards Huguan. According to the offensive plan drawn up by the Ministry of Defense, your target is Yangcheng, Jiangzhou. The army attacked all the way to Yangcheng. Yi Xingchen said.

When Wei Changhai heard this, he was excited. Yi Xingchen's words undoubtedly handed over the command of this counterattack on Jiangzhou in Xia to Wei Changhai. Wei Changhai was overjoyed, and secretly swore in his heart that he must fight a good battle, make meritorious contributions, and then seek to make a merit that can be knighted.
