Given that the two emissaries had made it clear that their lives would be guaranteed as long as they surrendered now and laid down their arms, Mataro Watanabe, the negotiator chosen by the crowd, felt that surrender should be okay now.

Besides, seeing that the two envoys were very impatient, they were no longer willing to continue talking with themselves. If they don't take advantage of this opportunity, the other party will never talk to them about surrender again.

When the other party conquers Shiliang City, they are all going to lose their heads.

Therefore, Mataro Watanabe hurriedly agreed, saying that he would immediately go back to inform the defenders that they would lay down their weapons and prepare to surrender.

Hearing Mataro Watanabe say this, the faces of the two genetic messengers with one brain and one tendon finally showed a trace of kind expression, which made the big stone in Watanabe Mataro's heart fall a little bit.

After stabilizing the two envoys, Mataro Watanabe hurriedly returned to the defenders, and conveyed to the defenders what the envoys said to him.

"They told us to lay down our arms and start surrendering, and if we move slowly, they won't continue to talk to us. And they told me that there was only one such negotiation, and that if we refused, they would immediately attack and would never accept surrender again. ”

When talking about this, Mataro Watanabe's expression was very serious.

"At the same time, Fang Gao warned that if we refuse this surrender, then when they conquer Shiliang Castle, none of us will be beheaded."

Not!

After listening to Mataro Watanabe's relay, the representatives of the defenders of Shira Castle all had frightened expressions on their faces.

"Then what are you waiting for, just lay down your weapons right away. Don't let the messenger think that we are not sincere and have missed such an opportunity. ”

Some timid fellows immediately shouted for immediate surrender. Don't let the messengers and others get impatient and cause any surprises.

"yes, we're going to have to do it right now. It wouldn't be good if the messenger misunderstood us. It's true that people don't want to continue fighting. ”

Mataro Watanabe's gaze swept over the faces of the delegates around him.

"Yes, you're right. We must not allow the messengers to misunderstand, so we must now begin the matter of surrender at once. But you also need to pay attention to one thing, I'm afraid that someone will make trouble at this time, after all, there are still people who are not of the same mind as us, and they want to fight to the end. ”

Mataro Watanabe is not a fool either. He still knows a lot about the current defenders of Shiliang City.

Although many of these people now have the same idea as him, that is, to end the war and surrender to save their lives.

However, there are also people who think differently, that is, there is such a group of people who want to fight the enemy to the end. People like this can be said to be the sworn enemies of Mataro Watanabe.

Now that the truce is imminent, surrender is almost over.

As long as there are no accidents, as long as they lay down their arms. Leaving the city where he was stationed and handing it over to the enemy's army was all done.

But if those people do something, it's all going to be wasted, isn't it?

So, Mataro Watanabe must not let such a thing happen. He definitely didn't want these militants to give up their longing for life.

"Look at the militants, and if they make any move, get rid of them. Are we going to be able to survive now? It's up to you to come next. So I don't want the current situation to be ruined by those guys. ”

The people who were selected to meet the standards basically had the same ideas as Mataro Watanabe.

So. They all thought deeply of Mataro Watanabe's proposal.

After a short period of contact, these representatives, who had been elected by the low-level soldiers, dispersed one after another. They returned to their own team and told the low-level soldiers about the agreement reached between Mataro Watanabe and the messenger.

They cheered with excitement when they heard that the enemy had accepted their offer to surrender and had agreed to guarantee their lives after they laid down their arms and surrendered.

For these low-level soldiers, they just want to be able to save their lives.

They have no ambitions.

Therefore, it is certainly not the same as the thinking of a small group of people.

Besides, the Praetorian Guards of the Song Empire and the mercenaries of Rodelni have shown strong and fierce combat effectiveness when they captured the three-layer defense circle underneath, which completely opened the eyes of the defenders of Shiliang City, and at the same time completely destroyed their morale, martial courage and self-confidence.

In such a situation, how could the defenders of Shiliang Castle still hold on.

What's more, the fate of the castle guard Toyoya Saburo and those middle and high-level military generals and officers who were assassinated with him are still vivid in their memories.

So even if they continue to resist, they won't be able to guard against those elusive ninjas.

For various reasons, the defenders of Shiliang Castle did not want to continue fighting at all.

If it continues, it will not be good for them.

It may even anger the enemy and make them lose their lives one by one.

Even if they held Shira Castle, they would eventually gain nothing.

In that case, it is better to surrender like this.

Because Mataro Watanabe had communicated with most of the people, they began to arrange the surrender as soon as they returned to their team.

First, they had the soldiers put down their weapons, and then they lined up in a neat queue and began to wait for the surrender to begin.

At this time, of course, they will not forget to send their cronies to watch the guys who might make some moths, and forcibly tie them all up.

The purpose of this is to prevent anything bad from happening.

In the face of such treatment, these hawks are also a little helpless.

After all, they are weak and simply can't fight against so many people. You must know that the low-level soldiers of the defenders of the entire Shiliang City are eager to surrender and cease fighting.

If they continue to fight the enemy to the end, maybe in order to ensure the smooth progress of the surrender, these guys will dare to kill them all.

So, if they are not a fool, they will understand and clear what kind of choice they should have at such a time.

As long as they are honest, then they can guarantee their own lives.

If they weren't honest, their former companions wouldn't be so polite to them.

Because they saw a very obvious murderous intent in the eyes of these former companions.

Outside the city, Zhao Hongyu had already seen the situation of the defenders in the fourth layer of the defensive circle through the telescope. He saw that the defenders were placing their weapons in a fixed place in a row, and then began to line up neatly.

From this, it can be seen that the defenders of Shiliang Castle have officially surrendered.

"Ordered, the whole army entered Shiliang Castle. At the same time, it also controlled the defenders who had surrendered, and separated them from the people of Shira Castle. They can't be allowed to be with the people of Shiliang City, and some people in the province incite those people, and there will be some accidents. ”

When Zhao Hongyu knew that the overall situation had been decided, his mood suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.

He immediately gave the order for the entire army to be stationed in Shiliang Castle.

After all, he still needs to ransack Shiliang City now and turn all the wealth of the Japanese people in Shiliang City into his own.

Although this approach is a bit of a bandit, Zhao Hongyu feels that there is nothing wrong with doing so.

Who made Shira Castle resist at the beginning?

This had cost him a lot of precious time, so what could he do to rob them of their money in order to teach them a little lesson.

At least, it's good that I didn't take their lives.

At the same time, he also hired Roderni and others, and he wanted to give real money.

And the wealth that may be scavenged in Shiliang Castle is not just used as a salary for Rodelni?

And he can also make a small fortune himself.

Conquering enemy cities and plundering them is normal in this day and age.

Besides, he still plundered the city of the Japanese people, so he didn't have any burden in his heart.

With Zhao Hongyu's order, the army outside the city began to move slowly.

However, Zhao Hongyu's soldiers did not let the whole army really enter Shiliang City, after all, the more than 100 artillery pieces under his command could not be stationed in Shiliang City, and he still needed to leave some troops to guard these artillery.

These cannons are Zhao Hongyu's heart and soul treasures, and they are also the weapons he used to conquer Kyushu.

Therefore, he must take care of it.

"Your Highness, Shira Castle has surrendered, so should we immediately enter the Satsuma Domain and attack its hinterland? You must know that the soldiers of the Lu Dao are very fast, and the fall of Shiliang City will definitely be spread in a very short time. Therefore, we must attack some important places as soon as the people in the hinterland of the Satsuma Domain have not yet reacted. ”

The army set off, and a genetic commander came to the side of Zhao Hongyu's war horse, raised his head and proposed.

Zhao Hongyu was moved by what he said, he thought about it carefully, and felt that what this commander said was very right.

Therefore, he said to the commander: "Divide your two thousand troops, that is, the strength of two legions, and carry fifty artillery pieces at the same time, and immediately start attacking the southern part of the Satsuma Domain." (To be continued......)
