Outside the fortress, the flags are like a forest, and as far as the eye can see, there are all the phalanxes of the Ming army, one by one, neatly and neatly, and there is no edge in sight; Inside the fortress, the people were panicked, everyone was pale and frightened, and they were caught in the middle by more than a million Ming troops, and the Tsarist Russian defenders in the fortress were desperate or desperate.

After a burst of artillery roar, although the defenders did not have any casualties, the despair on everyone's faces became stronger, the artillery of the Ming army could bombard so far, how could this make people live? Once the war starts, it is a dead end!

Fortunately, the Ming army did not mean to kill them all, after ten rounds of artillery fire, the Ming army immediately rushed out of the formation, obviously, it was to persuade surrender.

Do you still need to persuade this? With such a disparity in strength, who would dare to resist, wouldn't it be death!

It's not that the Russian soldiers are not brave enough, bravery also depends on the occasion, such an obvious difference in strength, even if all the heroic sacrifices are impossible, what is the point of being heroic?

Besides, they don't have a sense of belonging to this land, this was originally the land of the Siberian Khanate, and it hasn't been long since they grabbed it, and it is not their homeland at all, so it is difficult to have the urge to spill blood for it.

At this time, all the defenders had only one idea, surrender if they could, it was better to die than to live, so when they saw that the Ming army sent a horse to persuade them to surrender, everyone showed a look of hope.

Victor, the defender of the fortress, was also terrified, and when the Ming army opened fire, although he knew that the cannonballs could not hit the top of the tower he was on, he still subconsciously hid behind the arrow stack.

When the Ming army stopped shelling, he cautiously stuck his head out and looked at the Ming army's large array in the distance, which was like a frightened bird.

There was no movement at all in the Ming army's large array, but one person rushed towards the fortress with a horse.

It was here to persuade him to surrender, and Victor instantly showed an excited look.

He quickly took out his binoculars and saw that the messenger 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!

He hurriedly ran down the tower and quickly ran towards the first floor of the fortress, shouting as he ran: "Everyone pay attention, no cannons, no cannons, it's General Andrei." “

At this time, who dares to open fire, to bombard the Ming army's persuasion messenger to death, they are waiting to be bombarded into slag by the Ming army!

After all, people are not running as fast as horses, and before Victor has reached the first floor of the fortress, Andrei has already come to the bottom of the city wall.

The two fortresses were not far away, and the soldiers defending the city naturally knew Major General Andrei, and they didn't need instructions from above, so they quickly put down a box, and hung people up in three strokes and two strokes.

As soon as Victor ran to the first floor of the fortress, he saw Andre stepping out of the frame, he couldn't help but rush up and hugged Andre, and said excitedly: "Andrei, my good friend, I didn't expect to see you again, I heard the news that the fortress you were stationed in was broken by the Ming army, I don't know how worried I am about your safety." “

Andre patted him on the back and said with relief: "Victor, my good friend, thank you for your concern, I'm fine, don't worry, the Ming army treats the prisoners well, except for the need to do some work, nothing else is different from ordinary people." “

Hearing this, Victor let go of Andre and asked excitedly: "Is what you said true, you were sent by them to persuade him to surrender, right?" “

Andrei smiled bitterly: "My good friend, how could I lie to you, they did ask me to persuade you to surrender, I believe you can also see the current situation, Marshal Golovin has given up on us, what support and sneak attacks he said 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?" “

Andrei patted him on the shoulder with satisfaction and said: "My good friend, you can listen to my advice, I am very happy, the requirements of the Ming army are very simple, you open the city gate, throw the weapons into a pile, and then wait in a phalanx." “

When Victor heard this, he immediately said loudly: "Do you hear it, hurry up and open the city gate, everyone throws their weapons at the city gate, and then lines up to wait for the Ming army to come and surrender." “

Without his urging, the nearby soldiers immediately dispersed, some shouted to open the city gate, and some ran to inform everyone to go out of the city and line up.

Soon, the gate on the first floor of the fortress opened, and groups of 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.

Andrei accompanied Victor to the outside of the city gates, looked at the situation, and then raised his hand to make an agreed gesture.

Lu Xiangsheng saw his gesture in the binoculars, and immediately laughed and said: "Brother Boya, sure enough, you are still a step ahead, a soldier who surrenders without a fight, and a good person who is good, do you go or do I go?" “

He meant that he didn't want to rob Sun Chuanting of the credit, after all, the 21st fortress was the responsibility of Sun Chuanting, and the strategy of persuading him to surrender was also thought up by Sun Chuanting.

Sun Chuanting doesn't care about this, he is already an official and a very good minister, what else is there to think about, as for the position of generalissimo, he has nothing to think about, as soon as Lu Xiangsheng said this, he couldn't help but shake his head and smiled bitterly: "Brother Jiandou, you and I have something to share, let's go together." “

Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help but nod embarrassedly when he heard this: "Yes, it's that I'm thinking too much, okay, together." “

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

When Sun Chuanting saw him speak, he also waved his hand and said, "Order, the first infantry division of the Qin army will go with me to surrender." “

Soon, 10,000 cavalry and 10,000 infantry gathered behind the two, and Sun Chuanting saw that he was almost ready, so he immediately led the way and said, "Brother Jiandou, please." “

When Lu Xiangsheng heard this, he raised his hand and laughed: "Hahahaha, okay, let's go." “

With that, he took the lead and marched in the direction of the fortress.

Sun Chuanting immediately beat his horse and followed him, and the two of them led 20,000 horses to surrender.

Andre saw Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Chuanting leading the army coming, and immediately said to Victor next to him: "See, the one at the front is General Lu Xiangsheng, the generalissimo of the Ming Empire, and the one who is followed by him is General Sun Chuanting, the deputy marshal of the Ming Empire, you have to be respectful." “

Hearing this, Victor nodded, Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Chuanting just came to the fortress, raised his hand and ordered the team behind to stop advancing, he stepped forward quickly, gave a military salute, and said loudly: "Major General Viktor of the Tsarist Russian Army See Marshal Lu Xiangsheng, see Marshal Sun Chuanting, please accept our surrender." “

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

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