Just as Tang Ye and the others continued to discuss the future plan, the enemy's reply finally came from under the city gate:

"We agree to your surrender, but we have one condition. That is, you must escort five thousand soldiers to us as prisoners, or else you will surrender. ”

"Five thousand soldiers for you?" Tang Ye couldn't help laughing, but he suppressed his gaffe and coughed lightly, "You guys, your request is a bit excessive." After all, we haven't convinced my men yet, let me give you soldiers now, what if you suddenly attack us again after you get them? ”

"If you surrender sincerely, how can we attack you again? Besides, you keep saying that you want to persuade your subordinates, but if your subordinates don't want to, what can you do about it? Let's wait for you all night? ”

The soldier said this, obviously coming prepared, leaving Tang Ye speechless for a while.

However, at this time, Yao Ke suddenly whispered behind Tang Ye: "At this time, the enemy should already be desperate for us to surrender, but we have the initiative, there is no need to lower our posture anymore, we can be tougher." ”

Tang Ye blinked his eyes back, and had an idea in his heart, so he said to the below: "Your Excellency, please go back." ”

Hearing this, the soldiers below were stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "What do you mean?" ”

"It's not interesting." Tang Ye straightened his face, and there was a hint of coldness in his voice, "Go back and tell you the general that our surrender is something that is beneficial to both sides." Tell them that we are not begging for surrender. If you have to act like victors and don't see us as human beings, then we would rather fight to the death! ”

Hearing this, some of the arrogant soldiers below immediately panicked. He opened his mouth, but suddenly he didn't know what to say, so he gritted his teeth and turned back again.

As Yao Ke expected, when they learned of Tang Ye's attitude and words, the group on that side was a little angry at first, but then gradually fell silent, and after a long time, they finally reached an agreement and lowered their requirements for Tang Ye:

"Our general is willing to take a step back, and you don't need to pay 5,000 men, just 2,000 men. This is also the bottom line of our generals, if your Excellency is unwilling, then we will continue to fight. ”

Hearing this, Tang Ye and Yao Ke both remained silent. Tang Ye knew in his heart that the other party was also a temperamental person, and if he refused again this time, he was afraid that the other party would really continue to fight with them.

In that case, it would be out of his plans.

A minute later, Tang Ye finally nodded and said to the soldiers below:

"Okay, we agreed. Two thousand soldiers will be sent to you in half an hour. But make sure you don't torture and kill them! ”

The messengers below also breathed a sigh of relief, and replied, "Our army has always treated prisoners preferentially. ”

Then, under Tang Ye's gaze, he turned his head to look at the soldiers on the side.

"How many of us are there now?" Tang Ye asked.

Han Tian on the side replied: "There are about 13,000 people. ”。

Tang Ye nodded, looked at Han Tian and said, "Originally, I didn't plan to let you take risks, but now that the other party insists on taking two thousand of us soldiers as prisoners, then we will plan and place these two thousand people as the inside line of tonight's night attack!" ”

Han Tian's eyes lit up: "Good idea!" ”
