Chapter Seventy-Seven: Knowing Current Affairs
After a few rounds of bomb dropping by the trebuchet, Tempest Village has undergone a big change.
The gate of the beautiful and majestic cottage in the past collapsed violently, and the defensive towers and arrow towers in the cottage were all destroyed, and they were in ruins.
After several rounds of stone bullet attacks, the number of dead and wounded in Hurricane Village has exceeded three hundred, there are stumps and broken arms everywhere, and there are ** voices everywhere, like a Shura domain.
The bandits in the Tempest Village scattered and fled, panicking like a pot of gruel, and they ignored any shouts from the leaders of the bandits.
The bandits' faces were as white as paper, and they were really frightened by this terrifying blow.
If it was a bow and arrow attack, even if they had more dead and wounded, they would not have such a sense of fear, but now it was flying stones, as if the enemy had used a demon spell, making them feel that the Han army could not be defeated, and they were even more overwhelmed, and they didn't know how to deal with this situation.
Yin Xiangjie let out a long sigh, his teeth clenched, and his face showed an expression of extreme pain.
Tempest Village was created by him and his old brothers, and the people inside were more like his brothers' siblings, and seeing such a tragic situation made him feel a sense of pain.
The tide is over. The general trend is gone!!
Seeing the Han army that didn't move at all, Yin Xiangjie felt a feeling of powerlessness rise in his heart.
He knew in his heart that even if he gathered all the people together and fought hard, there should not be much threat to the Han soldiers on the opposite side.
He wasn't afraid of death, but he really didn't want to watch his brothers die with him.
Fall? War?
Yin Xiangjie's closed eyes drove his whole face to tremble, and his heart trembled like blood, and half a minute later, Yin Xiangjie finally made a decision that made him feel painful.
Gongsun Xu suddenly saw a white cloth at the second highest point of the Wind Village, and Gongsun Xu's eyelids suddenly jumped.
Could it be that the matter of surrendering under the white flag has already appeared in the Han Dynasty??!!
It wasn't my arrival that changed the course of history, and even such a thing as a white flag surrender appeared, which is really ridiculous!
Xin Cong, who was sent by Meng Yi to join the army, saw that a white cloth had been hung out of the Storm Village, and he immediately approached Gongsun Xu, and said to Gongsun Xu with some eagerness: "General Gongsun, you quickly order a halt to the attack!" The enemy is going to surrender. Now they have hung up a white cloth, which means that they are going to surrender. ”
Gongsun Xu glanced at Xin Cong, and he asked very abruptly, "When did you start this kind of surrender with a white cloth?" ”
Gongsun Xu's expression was solemn, and his eyes were firmly fixed on Xin Cong's face, trying to see from Xin Cong's expression whether what Xin Cong said was true.
Xin Cong looked at Gongsun Xu's expression, and suddenly felt a wave of panic.
But what! Xin Cong immediately calmed down.
Xin Cong settled down, and he said solemnly: "General Gongsun, the matter of starting to hang a white cloth to surrender originated in the Qin Dynasty, the Qin Dynasty took black as the national color, and the Han ancestor Liu Bang surrendered when he attacked Xianyang, and used the white cloth to express his surrender. From that time on, hanging the white cloth was just to surrender and negotiate. And hanging out of the white cloth does not directly represent a direct surrender, if nothing else, this surrender should also be conditional, you see if it is an order to stop that terrible thing. ”
Xin Cong said cautiously, for fear that something was wrong, Gongsun Xu's unkind gaze made him feel palpitations at the same time, but also felt a kind of pressure.
Xin Cong felt an inexplicable panic about the trebuchets that Gongsun Xu had gotten that could swallow stones, and he didn't want to see that kind of trebuchet continue to throw stones.
After Gongsun Xu heard Xin Cong's explanation, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and he said softly: "Oh! I know. Wait a minute, you go over to Tempest Village and talk to Yin Xiangjie to see what conditions he has. Then come back quickly to me. ”
Regarding Yin Xiangjie's surrender, Gongsun Xu didn't care too much.
Yin Xiangjie knew the times and chose to surrender for Junjie, but Gongsun Xu had a faint sense of loss in his heart.
This is the battle he wants to fight the most after crossing to the end of the Han Dynasty, and it is a battle that reflects his military might and strong force, and he has always had such an idea, he wants all his subordinates to clearly see the strength of the army he leads, and see how he strategizes to win.
However, Yin Xiangjie did not give him such an opportunity, which made Gongsun Xu have some joy and disappointment in his heart.
Gongsun Xu sent Xin Cong, who joined the army around him, and asked him to bring some people to Yin Xiangjie's side to accept Yin Xiangjie's surrender, and see what Yin Xiangjie had to say, this is also because Xin Cong is familiar with this kind of thing, and sent people who don't understand the rules in this area to negotiate, Gongsun Xu is really not at ease.
Gongsun Xu knew in his heart that the reason why Yin Xiangjie surrendered so happily must have been scared by himself.
Yin Xiangjie's thoughts, he also has to listen to them carefully, if he feels uncomfortable, he definitely doesn't care about teaching him a hard lesson.
Xin Cong went fast and came back quickly. He directly returned Yin Xiangjie's request to Gongsun Xu.
Yin Xiangjie did not make any excessive demands on the matter of surrender, and the main one was that Gongsun Xu was able to treat these bandits well after receiving the bandits of Tempest Village.
He also deliberately proposed that a large number of these bandits should be hostile to the Han soldiers, or some want to go home to farm and become rangers, hoping that Gongsun Xu can give some convenience.
On his side, with the savings of many years in Tempest Village, he unconditionally led everyone in Tempest Village to surrender.
When Gongsun Xu heard what Xin Cong said, his face suddenly warmed, this Yin Xiangjie is still more knowledgeable about current affairs, he waved his hand, and directly approved it, and asked his subordinates to inform the whole army of Yin Xiangjie's surrender.
Yin Xiangjie led the bandits of Storm Village to surrender?!!
The newly joined generals in Gongsun Xu's army looked at the white flag hanging high, thinking about the news passed in their ears, their expressions were dull, and their eyes were straight.
They didn't expect that Yin Xiangjie, who had been between Xingcheng and Xiangping for many years, would directly choose to surrender, let alone that this battle would be fought so smoothly.
They saw that among the more than 3,000 soldiers, only a few cavalrymen were distracted by the sight of the trebuchet firing boulders, and were frightened and fell off their horses and were injured, while the rest were intact.
Such a record is really strong, and it is really amazing.
After experiencing the amazing performance of the trebuchet and the rapid surrender of Yin Xiangjie, they already felt a kind of numbness at this time, a kind of incomprehension.
