Viscount Stoker, in the face of a strong enemy, made a very wise choice in his favor. For the sake of his own life, and for the sake of not letting everything happen to him, and for his fiancée, who he has been thinking about, surrender is actually quite right.

As for whether it is really for the sake of all the defenders as he said, it is up to the benevolent to see the benevolent.

But in any case, Stoker, as the supreme commander of Fort Yaffei, made this decision with the support of a large part of the population.

Although a small number of people are die-hards, they do not intend to surrender at all, but fight to the death. But the problem is that there are so many people who support Stoke, so they don't have a say at all.

What's more, after Stoke made his decision, he did not send people to contact the enemy in the first place, but asked the defending officers who supported him to arrest and lock up those who did not support the decision to surrender.

In this way, the interior of Yafi Castle is full of capitulators.

Like Stoker, the officers and soldiers didn't want to lose their lives here.

They don't have any assets, but their lives are precious, aren't they?

What's more, fighting to the death for the Grand Duke's territory doesn't seem to be worth it.

Since the Principality of Hungary joined the wars against Protestantism and Portugal, the life of the people in the country has deteriorated.

In addition, in order to support the war, His Excellency continued to collect taxes in the country, and set various names.

This practice has made it even more difficult for the people, who are already living in difficulty.

Not only those ordinary people, but even some small nobles with small assets can't stand it.

You can endure it once or twice, but you can't stand it for three days and you have to make an excuse to collect money.

Even if it is a rich family, it can't stand it at this time.

Moreover, wars are deadly, and the original army of the principality lost a large part of it under the successive battles. In order to replenish the troops. Therefore, the Grand Duke had to start talking about ordinary men being conscripted into the army.

Therefore, the people of the Principality of Hungary have to not only face the tax collectors who come to collect the money every day, but also remind them to wait for the letters from their families to send back from the front.

Almost every day, people are notified of the death of their family members, and it can be said that the people who live here in the Principality are desperate for their future.

It is for this reason that when Fort Yafi is attacked, people like Stoke will not have the heart to fight.

In fact, considering the situation in the Principality of Hungary, it is not surprising that such a person appeared.

The troops under the command of Siwicks have been attacking Fort Auffy for three days.

He couldn't have imagined. Afeburg is so hard to bite.

However, after three days of onslaught, the defenders of Fort Yafi were visibly crumbling.

In this regard, Siwicks sees it very clearly.

As long as they let the army attack for two days, Yafi Castle will be able to fall into their hands.

And the fall of Fort Yafi will bring a smooth road to the rebel army.

Yes, the geographical location of Fort Yaffi is exceptional.

If they wanted to conquer the entire Hungarian principality, then Jafiburg was an important city in front of them that they had to occupy.

As long as Yafi Castle is conquered, then the capital of the Hungarian principality is in front of you.

From Yafiburg to the capital city of Hungary. It can be said that this road is a smooth road.

It is precisely because of this important reason that Wizards will continue to attack Fort Yaffei, and even after losing more than 4,000 people in three days, they will grit their teeth and hold on.

Capture of Yafi. And then occupy the whole of Hungary, this is their plan.

If successful, then they will have a chassis that they can use to feed hundreds of thousands of insurgents.

If this plan does not succeed. Then what awaits them will be the end of destruction.

It is unrealistic to go back and fight the Ottomans.

The army of the Ottomans was numerous. And the equipment is also very well-equipped, which is not at all something that the rebel army can fight.

But the Principality of Hungary is different.

The Grand Duke transferred the military strength of the principality, Bacheng, and also requisitioned a lot of adult males.

The remaining 20% of the military force is still scattered in several cities and fortresses in the principality, and it can be said that its defense force is simply pitiful, and it is full of holes.

Therefore, it is easier to fight the Hungarians than to fight the Ottomans.

"Chief, today's attack didn't go very well. We lost another 600 men, but judging by the situation on the side of the defenders, they will not be able to support it for long. ”

After the front rush broke up, a small leader of the rebel army came to Siwicks' side and said to him with a happy face.

"Well, that's good. I think so too, I guess after another day or two of attack, the defenders will not be able to support it. Siwicks nodded in response.

"Chief, after conquering the city of Yafe, we can march on the Hungarian capital. As long as we can take the capital, then we can control the whole of the Hungarian principality, and there may be some fighting behind the cargo, but the situation is still very favorable for us. ”

One of the original leaders who followed Siwicks also opened his mouth at this time.

These Serbian rebels, after they had come out against the Ottomans, did not have such numbers.

However, when these insurgents came together, the rebel army grew to the size of several hundred thousand.

Before that, these people were divided into several rebel armies, so each team had a leader.

When they came together, in order to be able to twist together to fight against the Ottomans, they unanimously elected Siwicks as their leader, and they became the deputy leaders of the army.

Of course, in addition to some of his own advantages, the main thing in choosing Siwicks was that Siwicks controlled the largest and largest number of rebel teams at that time.

If there is no absolute strength at the bottom, then who will choose him.

When they first came together, a crisis arose in front of them.

That is the next plan of action they need to choose, whether to continue to travel around with hundreds of thousands of people in the north of the Ottoman Empire, or to attack the important towns of the northern Ottoman Empire.

At the time, there was a heated debate about it, and some said they agreed to the plan. Others disagree.

After all, the northern Ottoman town had a complete defense system and troops.

With the equipment and morale of the rebel army at that time, it was very difficult to capture that place.

You know, at that time, less than one-tenth of the rebels had weapons.

Moreover, the soldiers in the rebel army were almost all ordinary people with no military training.

If you had chosen to attack the northern Ottoman towns at that time, it was obviously very unrealistic, and it was basically the same as going to die.

Good thing when Sywicks was having a headache about it. The arrival of a merchant solved the problem for him.

Moreover, it also alleviates one of the most important things for the rebels.

That's food.

Yes, the rebel army is also a group of people, so if it is people, it needs to eat.

And in the northern part of the Ottoman Empire, because of the insurgents, many villages and towns fled, and they fled with nothing left.

This is a dilemma for the rebels.

If you know, the rebel army is basically dragging their families with their families.

It wasn't much for the men to eat less, but not for the old people, women, and children who followed them.

Because there is no food to be found. Other supplies are also in short supply.

Therefore, there is a desperate proposal to attack the important towns of northern Ottoman.

After all, they were there to be able to breach the town and get the food stored inside.

If there is no food. Hundreds of thousands of insurgents will collapse without even fighting.

Therefore, there will be such a proposal at that time, and it is also a last resort.

But. When the mysterious young merchant appeared, all these troubles were solved.

First of all, the merchant could provide enough food for the rebels. So that they can be fed and maintain good physical fitness for possible battles and dangers.

At the same time, the other party also provided a very important piece of information, so that the rebels had a better choice.

That is, instead of attacking the northern major towns of the Ottoman Empire, choose the Hungarians, who are easy to bully.

Such an option, in addition to being able to have a chassis and obtain enough supplies to feed hundreds of thousands of people, has a greater benefit.

That is, they could avoid the Ottomans.

Yes, having conquered the Hungarian principality, it was obvious that the Ottomans would not have been able to cross the border in a short time.

By the time the Ottomans saw the opportunity and came with their troops, the rebels had already changed their guns and guns.

This buffer period allowed the rebels to train their soldiers and then purchase large quantities of weapons and armor to equip them. By that time, even if the Ottoman army arrived, the rebels would have the strength to fight.

Where, as it is now, a rebel soldier cannot be called a qualified soldier at all.

Moreover, the young merchant said that as long as they could conquer Hungary, then they could loot the wealth of the Hungarians here in Hungary and buy weapons and armor from the merchant.

And the price is also very suitable.

How could Siwicks refuse such a good thing.

Anyway, it was desperate at that time, and the situation was very critical for the rebel army.

But if there is any hope, they will not give up.

Now it seems that the choice of attacking the Hungarians is quite correct.

The smile on Sywicks' face was very obvious: "Yes, as long as you can conquer Yafi Castle, then the rest of the things will be much easier." ”

"Oh, by the way, has today's food been delivered?" , Sywicks asked. (To be continued......)
