Chapter 218: Powerless

The general of the soldiers defending the city was stunned and sighed:

"Damn, this is only one noon, if we send all the soldiers guarding the city to reinforce the reinforcements, then once we can't come back at noon, then this Jiangfeng City will be equivalent to an empty city, when the time comes, if the royal family's soldiers and horses attack the city, it will be easy, and it will take this Jiangfeng City without much effort, it is really desperate!"

The soldier said:

"General, it's really not good, let's not count on those reinforcements who came, even if we die in battle, we can be regarded as doing our duty and loyalty to the emperor."

The general of the soldiers defending the city shook his head and smiled, and said:

"That's a mistake! Now, if these reinforcements can't reach Jiangfeng City before noon, then let's surrender to the royal family! Now that the soldiers of the Great Britain Kingdom have entered our Jinfeng Kingdom to help the royal family, we have such a little power, or don't touch the stone with eggs, General Ben also thought for a long time, and felt that although the face of the surrendered royal family was a little unbearable, but, after all, we can save our soldiers from the pain of death in battle, and let the buildings in this city be protected from destruction, even if we surrender to the royal family, they blame it, and I will bear all the blame, and my brothers will be fine. ”

After finishing speaking, the general of the soldiers guarding the city breathed a sigh of relief, as if he suddenly thought about it, and began to be relieved.

The soldier also said with a tangled face:

"General, are we really cornered? Does it have to be the only way out to surrender to the royal family? ”

The general of the soldiers defending the city sighed:

"To tell the truth, even if the reinforcements sent by the emperor can arrive in time, we will not be able to hold this Jiangfeng City, and we are doomed to fail, so instead of carrying it like this, it is better to surrender, at least we can reduce the casualties of our soldiers, protect the buildings in this city, and return a good home to the people in this city as soon as possible."

The soldier sighed and shook his head:

"That's it! The subordinates are willing to listen to the general's arrangements and decisions. ”

The general of the soldiers defending the city nodded:

"Okay, you go out first, General Ben wants to be alone and quiet."

Then the soldier turned and walked briskly out of the room.

As the time passed, it was getting closer and closer to noon.

The soldiers sent by Wan Jinbao to support Jiangfeng City have not been able to wait for the rescue soldiers who have arrived in Jiangfeng City, and their soldier general is full of confusion and said:

"What the hell is going on! Why didn't Jiangfeng City send soldiers and horses to deal with these soldiers of the Great Britain Kingdom who were blocking the way! ”

The soldiers of the Great Britain Kingdom who were blocking the road also wanted to go to Jiangfeng City because of these soldiers and horses sent by Wan Jinbao, and they did not rush to the prince's city, but continued to stay in place and stand by, blocking the way to Jiangfeng City.

The general of the soldiers of the Great Britain commanded his soldiers:

"Pass the order, as long as the soldiers and horses behind who want to rush to Jiangfeng City do not withdraw, we will continue to stand by and consume them like this, I want to see what tricks they want to play!"

The soldier standing on one side clasped his fists and said:

"Yes, General, my subordinates will give orders."

The soldier then ran away.

The reinforcements sent by this Wanjinbao to support Jiangfeng City and these soldiers of the Great Britain Kingdom continued to confront each other.

It looks like it's almost noon, and everything that seems to be calm on the surface actually contains all kinds of unstable atmospheres secretly.

The general of the soldiers defending the city in Jiangfeng City saw that noon was coming, and the best deadline given by the royal family was approaching, and the reinforcements still did not arrive in the city, so he sat in the room alone, poured a cup of tea, took a big sip, slammed the teacup in his hand to the ground, and said with a lot of confusion:

"Your Majesty, it's not that the last general is cowardly and afraid, but, now my troops can't resist the royal family's soldiers and horses, if they launch an attack immediately, then our soldiers who defend the city can't resist it at all, the last general can't stand you, now, our surrender to the royal family is the only best way out!"

Hearing the sound of a broken teacup in the room of the soldier defending the city, the soldiers standing at the door immediately rushed into the room and asked their general:

"General, what's going on? You're okay, right? ”

The general of the soldiers defending the city said:

"What can happen! Shocked. ”

The soldiers who rushed into the room saw that their general was fine, and they walked out of the room in a disinterested.

The soldier general who defended the city then said:

"Someone."

The soldiers outside the door heard their general's shouts and went into the room again.

A soldier clasped his fists and said:

"General, what's the matter?"

The soldier general who was defending the city then asked:

"When is it now?"

The soldier was stunned and said:

"General Hui, it's almost noon now."

The soldier general who was defending the city sighed and said:

"Oh, it's almost noon, and the deadline we agreed with the royal family has arrived, and now we can't delay, I have to write a letter of surrender to the royal family immediately, and then ask my soldiers to open the city gate and let the royal family enter the city."

When the soldier heard what their general said, he immediately said with a puzzled face:

"General, are we really going to surrender to the royal family now?"

The soldier general guarding the city couldn't help but smile bitterly:

"Do you think General Ben wants to surrender to the royal family? Now there is only this one road in front of us, otherwise, we will all have only a dead end, which is more important and can be thought out by using our brains at will. ”

The soldier said:

"What the general said is reasonable, the current situation is indeed very unfavorable to the emperor."

The soldier general who was defending the city then sat down on the wooden table beside him, began to study the ink, and then quickly picked up the pen, and began to write on the white paper on the table.

The general content he wrote was all related to the surrender of the royal family, although he was extremely reluctant in his heart, the brows on his face were tightly locked, and he looked preoccupied, but now, he can only lead his soldiers to surrender to the royal family to have a chance to live, and will protect the city from the destruction of the war, so that the people around it can also return to the city soon to live a stable life.

After writing the letter, the soldier general who was defending the city picked up the letter paper, blew on the words on it, and then, looking at it carefully, said with a relieved face:

"Your Majesty, the last general is really powerless to do this, but don't worry, even if the last general leads his soldiers to defend the city and surrender to the royal family, the last general will not fight against you even if he dies, and I believe that the people of the royal family will not let me go easily, after all, I have also followed you to deal with the people of the royal family, so for the sake of my brothers to be spared death and injury, for this Jiangfeng City to be spared the ravages of war, and for the people of this Jiangfeng City to come back as soon as possible to live and work in peace and contentment, it is really helpless for the last general to do this! I hope you can understand the difficulties of the last general. ”

The soldier general who was defending the city was stunned, then stood up, folded the letter in his hand, and said to one of the soldiers standing on the side:

"Hurry out of the city and deliver this letter of mine to the royal family, and say, We are willing to surrender, and as soon as noon comes, we will open the city gates and welcome the royal soldiers and horses into the city."

The soldier then stepped forward, stretched out his hand and slowly took the letter handed out by their general, and said with a puzzled expression:

"Yes, General!"

The soldier general who defended the city said seriously:

"Let's go!"

The soldier turned slowly, and walked out of the room with a brisk pace.

Seeing that noon was coming, on the royal family's side, the crown prince observed the situation in Jiangfeng City, and saw that no one in the city came out to inform him of the situation, and he also said with a puzzled face:

"This noon is coming soon, do these soldiers who defend the city really don't know whether they are alive or dead, and want to defend to the end? It stands to reason that if Wan Jinbao sent reinforcements from Kyoto, he should have rushed to this Jiangfeng City by now! Why is it strange that there is no movement now? ”

After a while, the soldiers on the royal family's side saw the gate of Jiangfeng City open, and a soldier came out from inside, walking quickly towards the camp on the royal family's side.

Upon discovering this, a soldier quickly ran up to the prince's side and reported:

"Prince Qiqi, the gate of Jiangfeng City suddenly opened, and a soldier came out of it, and at this time, he was rushing to our camp."

When the prince heard the words of his soldiers, he immediately said with a serious face:

"Oh, the gate of Jiangfeng City has been opened, and a soldier has come over, hurry up and bring me the soldier who came to see me."

The soldier clenched his fists and said:

"Yes, Prince, as soon as the soldier guarding the city arrives, his subordinates will bring him to you."

With that, the soldier ran away quickly.

The crown prince suddenly fell into a puzzle, it stands to reason that as long as Wan Jinbao sent reinforcements from Kyoto, then the soldiers in Jiangfeng City should be able to resist and defend the city, how could the city gate be suddenly opened? Could it be that they have really considered and discussed that they will sincerely surrender to our royal family?

Thinking of this, the prince still didn't dare to be careless, after all, the situation was still not understood, and he could only take one step at a time, but no matter what, he knew that this time, it was only a matter of time before the royal family broke the city, regardless of whether the soldiers defending the city in the city were willing to surrender or resist.

After a while, the soldiers who came out of Jiangfeng City came to the camp of the royal family.

A soldier from the royal side stepped forward and asked:

"It's almost noon, did your general agree to surrender to our royal family, and specially sent you to tell our emperor and the crown prince?"

The soldier defending the city said:

"That's right! I came to see your emperor and the crown prince on the order of our general, our general said, I have agreed to surrender to your royal family, please take me to see your emperor and the crown prince quickly, our general wrote a personal letter, our general told me to personally hand over to your emperor and the crown prince. ”

A soldier on the emperor's side said:

"Okay, then you come with me, and I'll take you to see our prince, our prince already knew that your general would send someone here, and he would have been waiting for your news for a long time."
