The Sharad Empire soon received the news that fifteen load-carrying airships had been destroyed, and the Emperor Herris of the Sharad Empire immediately scolded the Minister of War Valerian.

However, scolding people did not help, and the five Salad Royal Army Infantry Corps surrounded by the Su family army still could not be saved.

In the end, Emperor Herris decided to replenish the eight infantry regiments that were retreating as soon as possible with personnel, weapons and ammunition, and at the same time, three infantry regiments and four independent infantry divisions from the territory of the Sharad Empire were sent to the territory of the Cangyu Empire.

The above-mentioned eleven infantry regiments and four independent infantry divisions formed a two-way rescue force, and within half a month, they would send troops to the Dingxin area of Hebei Province and the Anzhou City area of Lunan Province of the Cangyu Empire to rescue the besieged five Salad Royal Army Infantry Corps.

In addition, Emperor Herris also ordered to the War Department to expand the number of infantry regiments by eight new infantry regiments, bringing the number of infantry regiments of the Royal Army of Sharad to forty, in order to cope with the war with the Su army.

In fact, at this time, in the provincial capitals of the Cangyu Empire and the capital Cangyu City, there were three infantry regiments of the Salad Royal Army, but in order to suppress the resistance of the people of the Cangyu Empire, protect the various concessions of the Salad Empire, and deter the royal family and nobles of the Cangyu Empire, Emperor Herris did not dare to mobilize these three infantry regiments at all.

Emperor Herris also knew in his heart that according to the new rescue plan, the besieged five Royal Army infantry regiments of Sharad would have to hold out for at least a month before reinforcements appeared, and even longer this time might take.

Emperor Herris gave orders to the besieged 8th, 9th, 12th, 24th, and 25th Infantry Regiments to stand by and wait for reinforcements, and told the five commanders that they must hold out for at least a month.

The will to fight of the Royal Army of Sharad was still relatively tenacious, and the five commanders of the trapped corps, representing the officers and soldiers of the five infantry corps, sent a telegram to Emperor Herris, determined to fight to the last soldier, and would never give in to the Su army.

In fact, the besieged five Salad Royal Army Infantry Corps also did the same, and in the face of the attack of the Su Army, these five Shalad Royal Army Infantry Corps resisted very fiercely.

However, the troops of the Royal Army of the Cangyu Empire, which were also trapped, soon had a large-scale surrender, and even the entire infantry wing collectively surrendered to the Su Army.

On the morning of June 8, 3012 in the Tang calendar, in a conference room in the county guard mansion in Fuyang City, Hongshan Province, Cangyu Empire, dozens of senior officers of the Royal Army of the Cangyu Empire gathered, these senior officers were from the Ninth Legion, the Tenth Legion, the Eleventh Legion and the Twelfth Legion of the Royal Army of the Cangyu Empire, and these four legions were currently surrounded by the Su army in Fuyang City.

Cui Shijie, the commander of the Ninth Legion of the Royal Army of the Cangyu Empire, said with a wry smile: "Everyone knows the current situation, the War Department ordered our four infantry corps to break through as soon as possible, but we have already tried, in front of the heavy artillery group of the Su family's army, our four infantry corps have no chance of breaking through at all, and because a large number of troops surrendered without a fight, the outer positions of Fuyang City have all been captured by the Su army, let's talk about it, what should our four infantry corps do next?" ”

Li Jinsong, the commander of the Tenth Legion, immediately sighed and said: "What else can I do, I think it's better to surrender directly, my Royal Army's Tenth Infantry Legion, almost 100,000 people have taken the initiative to surrender to the Su Army, and there are even many wing commanders who directly surrender to the Su Family Army with the entire wing, even if we want to be loyal to the royal family, but the officers and soldiers below will definitely not be willing." ”

Sheng Haoming, the commander of the Eleventh Legion, followed: "The situation of our Eleventh Legion of the Royal Army is similar, outside Fuyang City, there are at least 90,000 people in the Eleventh Legion of our Royal Army, and they have been taken prisoner of the Su Army. ”

Chen Jiyuan, the commander of the Twelfth Legion, shrugged his shoulders and said: "Originally, because we couldn't pay the salary, the morale of the officers and soldiers of our four infantry legions was very low, and then the army of the Shalad Empire regarded our four infantry legions as outcasts, and now the War Department of our Cangyu Empire can't send reinforcements to rescue our four infantry legions, and what's worse is that our four infantry legions have not yet been able to break through on their own, I think it's better to contact the Su family army as soon as possible to discuss the surrender!" ”

Subsequently, the four deputy commanders of the four infantry corps, the sixteen division commanders and sixteen deputy division commanders of the sixteen infantry divisions, and the four division commanders and four deputy division commanders of the four baggage divisions also expressed their approval of surrendering to the Su army.

In fact, many of the senior officers of these four infantry regiments had been prisoners of war in the Shalad's army before, so they did not resist becoming prisoners of war again.

Cui Shijie, the commander of the Ninth Legion, saw everyone's opinions, and was surprisingly unanimous, and said with some emotion: "It's not that we don't want to be loyal to the royal family, it's that the Su family army is too strong, so we can only be sorry for the emperor." ”

On the afternoon of June 8, Su Yi received the news that the four infantry regiments of the Royal Army of the Cangyu Empire in Fuyang City were going to surrender, and Su Yi held a telegram in his hand and said to He Yunfei and Cheng Ziwen: "The four infantry regiments of the Cangyu Empire in Fuyang City want to surrender, of course our Su army welcomes it, but it must be an unconditional surrender, and our Su army can only guarantee the personal safety of all surrendered officers and soldiers. ”

He Yunfei nodded and said: "Don't worry, the four infantry legions of the Cangyu Empire in Fuyang City have no other choice than to surrender unconditionally!" ”

At eight o'clock in the morning of June 9, the various units of the Su Army, which was besieging Fuyang City, began to enter the urban area of Fuyang City and take over the entire city.

In the end, the four Cangyu Empire Royal Army infantry regiments guarding the Fuyang City area, with a total of 1.14 million people, surrendered to the Su army, and only about 60,000 were killed in the battle, and most of them died before Fuyang City was besieged.

Coupled with the nearly 800,000 officers and soldiers of the Cangyu Imperial Army captured by the Su family army in other regions, the number of prisoners of war in the hands of the Su family army instantly exceeded 1.9 million.

In the Dingxin area of Hebei Province of the Cangyu Empire and the Anzhou City area of Lunan Province, in addition to besieging the five infantry legions of the Royal Army of Shalad, the Su family army also surrounded the four infantry legions of the Royal Army of the Cangyu Empire, so the number of prisoners of war in the Su family army will definitely not stop at more than 1.9 million.
