Chapter 1360: Arabian Storm (31)

"Tox, the supreme commander of the contemptible Jafiburg, holds the title of baron of the district of Dyel, and is subordinate to the Grand Duke of Hungary."

Although he was quite uneasy and apprehensive, Stoke still had to gamble.

Moreover, he felt that these enemies besieging Fort Yafei were not willing to let the soldiers under his command continue to suffer unnecessary losses.

Then, if you surrender yourself, you can still get Fort Yafi if you think about it, and you don't have to continue to suffer casualties. This is very beneficial to them.

As long as the commander of the enemy is not a fool, then he should know what to choose.

Of course, this was just his own wishful thinking, and as for what the situation was, Stoke didn't dare to pack the ticket.

If the enemies besieging Afeburg were mobs or something, they would not have thought of this, or even obeyed the rules of war between the nobles of Europe.

And that's exactly what Stoke was worried about.

The rebels looked like an army of beggars, all dressed in tatters.

And because of the lack of weapons, many soldiers still have wooden sticks or dung forks in their hands.

With such an army, the unbehaving Stoke would have such an idea.

If the number of rebels was smaller, even if it was only 100,000 men, Stoke would not have had the idea of surrendering.

After all, in a rag army of 100,000 people, there are only more than 10,000 people who can fight.

The defenders of Fort Yafi numbered more than 2,000 men, and the city was very well defended.

In the face of an attack of more than 20,000 people, there was no problem at all.

But the problem is that the number of enemies besieging Fort Yafi is far more than 100,000.

And this army, which looked like a beggar's formation, had as many as seventy or eighty thousand soldiers.

At the same time, the army was very indecent, and they divided into several legions to take turns attacking Fort Yaffei. The defenders were not given a chance to rest at all.

Therefore, it has only been three days, and Stoke and the others are already tortured and can't stand it.

Although they have a strong city defense system to rely on, they can't stand it, and they can't rest and constantly resist the enemy's attack and harassment.

Even if you are not physically harmed, the mental torture is remarkable.

Not to mention that in the course of three days, the defenders had been reduced by a third, and it was clear that the soldiers had begun to crumble.

According to the current situation and environment, Yafei Fort will definitely not be able to hold it.

Since that's already the case, why not find yourself a way out.

Otherwise, after these people have broken through the fort of Yaffei, they will resist the defenders to the end. All of them will be hanged by each other.

Well, it's a good time to talk about surrender now.

The attackers' side also lost a lot of men, and wasted three days here at Fort Yaffei.

Although the number of troops on his side has decreased, it is not without the strength to continue fighting.

Even if sooner or later the other party will break through the garrison of Yafei Fort, but there is still a big difference between earlier and later.

Having mastered this, then the side still has some initiative when negotiating.

As long as the other party still cares about the lives of the soldiers under his command, and can take Yafei Fort earlier, then the other party should accept the proposal from their side.

along the way. Stoke had figured it out.

Soon, he and the four guards were in front of Siwicks, and gave themselves their names and identities with what they thought was graceful manners and smiles.

Ho ho, still a nobleman.

Siwicks smiled. However, it can be seen from the expression on his face that he is not interested in nobles at all.

Yes, in fact, he was not the only one, everyone in the rebel army did not have a good impression of the nobility.

To know. They started the Ottoman uprising because they were bullied by the local Ottoman nobles.

So. The status of Baron Stoke is of no use to West Wicks.

Swick's small reaction was caught by Stoke in an instant.

At that time, his heart was cold.

Mom, sure enough, I met the legendary people who were not interested in aristocrats.

I had heard that a mob had killed a nobleman, and I thought it was far away from me, so I didn't think it would happen to me now.

No, I'm going to take the opportunity for a while, and I can't hurt these people to find an excuse for them to kill me. I must live and return to my hometown to see my fiancΓ©e.

Fortunately, Stoke is not the kind of rigid nobleman, and this small nobleman from the countryside also has some advantages.

In the East, it is called bending and stretching.

"I wonder what you're here for? We're still at war, and while I know some of the rules of war, you have to know that we're not bullshit aristocrats, so we don't want to follow them. β€œ

Although Siwicks guessed the other party's intention, he still deliberately frightened it.

Sure enough, Stoke was frightened.

The Hungarian little nobility did not have the pride and stubbornness of the other nobles, but had the same tactfulness and cunning as the country people.

Stoke hurriedly saluted respectfully, and a series of compliments came out.

"Your Excellency, although you and I are still at war, I don't think you should refuse someone who came with good intentions, right? I've brought here a proposal that will save both of us from seeing the casualties of the soldiers. ”

Wicks kept a faint smile on his face and let out a soft 'oh', "Oh, what kind of proposal did you bring to the table to do this?" ”

Play stupid!

Lao Tzu said it so clearly, don't you understand?

It must be like this, this guy is playing dumb with himself.

Hearing Siwicks' words, Stoke secretly complained in his heart.

However, he didn't dare to express any dissatisfaction now, after all, he himself was in the enemy's camp.

In other words, life and death are a matter of people's words.

So, he can't make himself uncomfortable.

Only fools and idiots would do that.

This little nobleman from the Hungarian countryside is not the kind of idiot aristocrat.

So, he wouldn't do that kind of thing.

"We, Yafiburg, are ready to surrender to you, but we don't know if the lives and property of our people will be guaranteed after surrendering? After all. We don't want to continue fighting, and you can get Yafi as soon as possible without suffering the death of the soldiers, right? ”

There was a thrill in Sywicks' heart, but you couldn't see it on his face.

Sure enough, they came to surrender.

However, the other side wanted to give themselves a guarantee that those who had surrendered to them, and at the same time they demanded that their property be protected and not violated.

In fact, the last point raised by Stoke was entirely selfish.

The soldiers at the bottom have a few dollars, and it would be good to be able to save their lives.

If you want to talk about property, of course, it is Stoke as the commander who has the most.

A small aristocrat in the countryside. Since he became the commander of Fort Yafi, he has not scavenged the local wealth.

Therefore, in just over a year, he has made a lot of money.

Of course, all this money is corrupt.

But let him throw it away like this, he still feels a little distressed.

"Are you really going to surrender?"

Siwicks asked rhetorically, and at the same time quickly measured it in his mind.

Seriously, if the other side surrenders, it will not be a problem to ensure their lives. As for property. It's not impossible.

It's just that I can't agree too quickly, otherwise the other party will know that I actually want this result very much. So will the other party make some moths?

So, I can't be so urgent.

As long as you are not in a hurry, it is the other party who is in a hurry.

"Really, really. We really surrendered and didn't want to continue fighting. Hear Siwicks ask. Baron Stoke nodded in response.

Well...... Siwicks pretended to be a little reluctant on his face.

Looking at his pretentious performance, Baron Stoker's little heart 'poof, poof' jumped faster and faster.

"You should know that you don't have a lot of chips right now. Fort Auffi will be able to conquer it in three days at the latest, and the result will be the same even if you don't surrender. So don't you think your surrender is redundant for me? ”

I rub!

Baron Stoke cursed in his heart.

It's brain-dead!

Don't you know that it is also beneficial for you to accept this offer from me?

At the very least, you can lose thousands of soldiers.

Of course, as a superior person, no one cares about soldiers.

If Fort Yafi hadn't been able to defend it at all, Baron Stoke wouldn't have come to surrender, and he could have let the defenders fight to the death.

"We can talk. The conditions I put forward could be lowered a bit ......"

Stoke looked at Siwicks cautiously and offered more respectfully.

Hey!

Siwicks laughed secretly in his heart, and sure enough, as he guessed, if he didn't care at all, it was the other party who was anxious.

Then, now the initiative is completely in their own hands, but it is not something that the other party must comply with after putting forward a condition.

So, is it possible to disagree with the article on retaining property?

Sywicks thought to himself.

The rebel army is also short of goods now, and there must be a lot of wealth in Fort Yafi, and if he can get the wealth of Fort Yafi, he will have a lot more money on hand at that time.

At the very least, to be able to buy some more supplies with the young man.

Even, after the other party sees that he has money in hand, he will expand the size of the transaction.

Well, if you look at it this way, the other party's condition cannot be agreed.

"Hand over Fort Yaffei, and I promise that your lives will not be threatened, but all your possessions will be kept. You know, if we break through Fort Yafy, these possessions will be ours! ”

Sywicks gave an answer that made Baron Stoker's heart ...... Wow cool, wow, cool...... (To be continued......)
