Many ancient armies, unless they are extremely rare elite troops in history, many armies are actually not averse to surrender.

Not to mention the ancient army, even some modern armies, surrender is no psychological pressure for them!

From ancient times to the present, regardless of China and foreign countries, there are more armies that have gone with the wind and against the wind!

These Ming troops in the Tonggu Acropolis naturally can't be elite troops who can stubbornly resist to the death, they are just a group of ordinary guards!

If they fight a good fight, then it is only a close battle, and they will naturally not surrender, and they may even show extraordinary courage and will to fight.

However, if they encounter a strong enemy, or if the situation is not good, when they know that they can't do anything, their morale will inevitably be lost, and finally the troops will have a rebellious mentality of resisting the battle and even wanting to surrender.

Now many Ming soldiers in the city think like this, Qiu Yu wants to take them out to fight, which in their eyes is to go out of the city to die.

And why do you want to die? They don't understand!

Why do you want to go out of the city to die, it's not good to watch a play in the city, sit and watch the friendly army and the pseudo-Tang thief army fight to death and live while eating melon seeds!

The friendly army won, and they are also meritorious soldiers, because they pinned down and attracted tens of thousands of pseudo-Tang thieves to the Tonggu Acropolis, and finally gave the main force of the friendly army a chance to annihilate them.

If the allies are defeated, then they will surrender!

Anyway, I heard that there are thousands of officers and soldiers of the Surrender Pseudo-Tang Thief Army, and there are not many of them!

They are all soldiers who eat food, the soldiers of the Zhu Dynasty can eat it, why can't the soldiers of the Li Dynasty eat it?

And I heard that if you are a soldier in the Tang Army, you can also share the field for free, which is your own field, as long as you go to the army, you can get a share.

This is not much better than being tenants and serfs for thousands and hundreds of adult households.

There are actually not a few defenders in the city who have such an idea, and there are not only the lowest-ranking serf soldiers, but even some middle and low-level officers have this idea!

Why do they think that?

You don't see Zeng Ziwen, he used to be a thousand households in the imperial court, and now he is not in the pseudo-Tang thief army, oh, no, it should be said that he mixed well with the Tang army, I heard that he was still made a marquis.

Zeng Ziwen can surrender to thieves, why can't they?

No one is bad, if Lao Tzu votes in the past, maybe he can get a duke and earl, even if there is no duke and earl, but the viscount, baron or something is not bad, so it is also a noble lord.

Of course, for some middle and low-level officers, they only think about it occasionally, and it is really difficult to get them to join the pseudo-Tang thief army, to be honest.

Because these officers of the Ming army, even if they are only middle and low-level officers, they have more knowledge than ordinary soldiers, and can contact and understand some things that ordinary soldiers do not know, such as the nature of the puppet Tang thief army, and the huge crisis that the puppet Tang thief army will face in the future.

Ordinary villagers and soldiers may think that the world is as big as Liping Mansion and Guizhou Province, but for knowledgeable people, they know that the world is far bigger than they imagined, and this world belongs to the Zhu family.

Now the puppet Tang thief army just occupies two mansions, and the puppet Tang rebellion is just a mosquito bite for the Ming Dynasty, which is sitting on a land of thousands of miles, and it is a little itchy, but it will be okay to scratch it, and it will slap the mosquito to death.

Therefore, although it seems that the puppet Tang thief army will gain glory and wealth, what is represented behind it is the abyss, and it will be finished if it falls, and it will be completely dead, and it will even affect the family.

But then again, if you are cornered by the puppet Tang thief army, for example, if the puppet Tang thief army broke through the Tonggu Acropolis a few days ago, it doesn't seem unacceptable to surrender to the puppet Tang thief army.

Whether they surrender or not depends on whether there are other options, not whether they want to or not!

Of course, this is only the choice of those middle and low-level officers and soldiers, for the senior generals and officials in the Ming Dynasty, even if they are cornered, they will not easily choose to surrender, even if they are captured, it is difficult to accept.

The more high-ranking people are, the more they look down on and even despise the pseudo-Tang thief army, and you let a Jinshi official or a general of the Ming army with more than 1,000 households willingly surrender to the thief? That's almost unlikely.

Even if they are captured, few will give in, at least not for now.

If the Tang Dynasty wants to really get the recognition of the top of the society, especially those officials who are scholars and hereditary high-ranking generals, it can only continue to develop, and when it really occupies the territory of several provinces and has tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of soldiers, these high-level people who think highly of themselves will seriously consider taking the initiative to join the pseudo-Tang thief army, oh, no, at that time they should be called the Tang Dynasty!

Because at that time, the Tang Dynasty had already shown that it could sweep the world, and even truly overthrow the Ming Dynasty and dominate the world.

Even if it is not the whole family to take refuge, but it will send descendants or collateral children to secretly surrender, in order to put eggs in more baskets, and in the end, whether the Tang Dynasty overthrew the Ming Dynasty, or the dynasty successfully suppressed the Tang Dynasty, the family will remain prosperous.

Qiu Yu rushed out with the defenders in the city, and the soldiers of the Ming army, including Qiu Yu, had their own ideas, and this idea would be directly expressed in the course of their battle.

After the soldiers and middle and low-ranking officers left the city, they dragged their feet and refused to advance, while Qiu Yu and several other senior generals kept shouting and trying to make the soldiers speed up their advance and organize a formation to attack.

In this way, the formation of the Ming army out of the city was even more scattered, and it was impossible to form a perfect breakthrough formation according to Qiu Yu's tactical intentions.

In the end, only Qiu Yu and other senior generals and their personal soldiers and more than 300 people rushed to the front, as for those ordinary soldiers, they were lagging behind, and the speed of advance was always slow, and finally they were out of touch with the more than 300 personal soldiers led by Qiu Yu and others.

But in this case, Qiu Yu and the others still did not stop their pace, but continued to rush forward with their own soldiers with other senior generals.

Qiu Yu understands very well that the vast majority of the 3,000 people he led are already frightened by the puppet Tang thief army, and it is possible to mutiny and surrender on the spot, not to mention, these ordinary soldiers do not have any combat effectiveness, what they can really fight is still these more than 300 pro-soldiers, if the 300 pro-soldiers led by himself cannot pose a real threat to the pseudo-Tang thief army, then the 3,000 people behind are also useless.

And he couldn't stop, because he had already received an order from the main commander, Lord Long, last night, and Lord Long asked him to lead the army to attack when the war began, and cooperate with the main force to flank the puppet Tang thief army, and finish his work in one battle.

If it can succeed, then it is a great feat, and if it fails, it will not be better than staying in the city. Because staying in the city is disobeying orders, the Ming army is weak, and Lord Long will buckle a hat of disobedience to him when he turns around, and then shout: Pull it out and cut it!

If the Ming army is defeated, then the end will be even more tragic, and when the time comes, will he surrender or commit suicide when he is trapped in the lonely city?

The military orders in his body, coupled with the concern for the future of the entire family and individuals, forced him to lead the army to rush out to cooperate with the main force.

The best result is naturally to cooperate with the main force to annihilate the micro-bullet thief army, if he can't achieve this goal, he must also die on the battlefield, absolutely not survive, let alone be captured.

In that case, his entire family will be affected, and it is possible to destroy the family.

A general of his status often does things based on his own preferences and even the safety of his own life.

He has so much to take care of!

The hereditary commander of the Qiu family, which has a history of glory and wealth for more than a hundred years, cannot be defeated in his hands!

Absolutely not!

He died, and he still had two sons to inherit the family business, and his eldest son would become the successor to his military position and become the new commander of the Qiu family.

Even because of his own death, the family will be rewarded by the imperial court, perhaps because of this, his son's future career will be able to go more smoothly, and then drive the family to continue to enjoy glory and wealth.

Qiu Yu had this idea, and most of the other high-ranking generals who charged with him also had the same idea, but they didn't have the courage to see death like Qiu Yu.

Although they charged with Qiu Yu with a resolute expression, they were still afraid!

On the other side is the pseudo-Tang thief army, the pseudo-Tang thief army that once scared them to collapse on their own a hundred meters away!

Now, these pseudo-Tang thief armies have listed the tightest formation in front of them!

In this case, they feel as if they are a wave of the ocean, and the queue of the Datang New Army is a, and it is also an impregnable steel.

They may make some waves when they rush over, but in the end they will still dissipate into nothingness, leaving not even a trace behind.

When the wind calmed down, the levee remained, but the spray that crashed against the levee disappeared without a trace.

Such thoughts inevitably lead to a feeling of despair!

But even if they were desperate, they had to rush forward, because they had no other choice, Lord Long gave Qiu Yu an order, and Qiu Yu also gave an order to his subordinates, whoever dared to say a word, Qiu Yu dared to kill this person on the spot.

So, there was a rather strange scene on the battlefield next, the Ming army in the city rushed out, but it was gradually divided into one front and one behind, the front group of people was only more than 300 people, but it was well-equipped, half of them were fighting in armor, and many people were still riding horses.

The 3,000 men at the back were much poorly equipped, mostly rusty iron knives, spears, and very few people in armor, and the formation was chaotic, and if it were not for the uniforms and weapons, I am afraid that no one would regard them as an army.

Li Chunjing, who didn't know the inside story, couldn't help frowning when he saw this scene, and then said: "Send a message to the First Infantry Regiment and the Fourth Infantry Regiment, asking friendly forces to give tactical cover!" ”

After giving the order, he muttered: "These Ming troops are afraid that they are strange, it is better to be cautious!" ”
