Hearing his men report that Afeburg had raised the white flag made Siwicks' eyes glow with excitement.

The assault on Fort Yafi had been going on for three days, during which time the rebels had lost a lot of their troops.

You know, the war in the West is no better than the war in the East.

Normally, the strength of both sides of a war can reach 10,000 men, which is already a big war.

Therefore, this time the rebel army sent hundreds of thousands of people to the vicinity of Yaffeibao, which is already a big scene.

Of course, the war scene that broke out in Europe today is not small, and it can be regarded as a war that can go down in history.

But it is precisely for this reason that the loss of thousands of people in this kind of war is not small.

In three days of offensive, the rebels had already lost thousands of casualties.

Although Afiburg will eventually fall, this loss is also unbearable.

Therefore, if Fort Yafi did not surrender and continued to hold out, the losses of the rebels would continue to grow.

This is something that Sywicks doesn't want to see.

But now that he has no other choice, he can only continue to attack.

But now that the defenders of Fort Yafi were willing to surrender, it was a very good thing for him.

Raising the white flag indicates that the defenders are no longer willing to continue fighting, and can avoid losing more troops on their side.

As a commander, how could this kind of thing not make him happy and excited.

"Oh, really? Take me to see it! ”

Siwicks didn't even care about the food problem, and immediately asked his men who came to report to take him to the side of the Yafi Fort position.

Sure enough, when he came to the front line of the attack, Siwicks saw at a glance that the white flag fluttering at the head of Fort Yafei was dancing in the wind.

At this moment, Siwick's is as refreshing as if he has drunk a glass of ice water.

It seems that the battle here in Fort Yafi can be over.

It wouldn't be long before the defenders of Fort Yafi would send someone to contact him. Let's talk about what happened after the surrender.

As for the rules of war in the European countries, Siwicks is very clear.

Although the Serbs lived under Ottoman rule, they were more or less ignorant of the rules of warfare here in Europe.

Moreover, accepting the other side's surrender will also allow you to reduce your losses and be able to march towards the Hungarian capital this morning.

Otherwise, the longer it takes to be here in Fort Yaffei, the more uncertain it will be.

He has led his army to fight here in Fort Yafei for three days, and the news that Fort Yafei has been besieged in the past three days has already spread.

So. Will the Hungarian Grand Duke, who led the elite army to fight abroad, lead his army back after hearing the news?

No one can say anything about this question.

After all, the Principality of Hungary is an important territory of the other party, and if it is occupied by his own people, the Hungarian Grand Duke will be completely tragic.

A duke who has lost his own territory, even if the territory is high, is a lost dog.

And the officers and soldiers who fought with him outside would also begin to see turmoil and flee.

Whether it's for yourself or for the sake of your officers and soldiers. He will not sit idly by.

Then, the rebel army can conquer the whole territory of the Hungarian principality one day earlier, and the sooner it can prepare to deal with the return of the unlucky archduke.

This is the best situation for the rebels.

But if the situation does not develop in this way, then the environment of the rebels will become bad.

First of all. In the worst-case scenario, the rebels conquered half of Hungary, and the hapless Grand Duke began to stalemate with the rebels.

Then, the two sides will definitely be locked in an endless war, and the rebel army will be relatively inferior.

Meantime. If the Grand Duke of Hungary had made some compromise with the Ottomans and had allowed the Ottomans to flank the rebels from the south, the rebels would have no way to survive.

This is not impossible.

So. In order to avoid this situation, the rebels must conquer the entire territory of Hungary as soon as possible, and then defeat the returning Hungarian Grand Duke in order to gain enough time to slowly digest and consolidate the territory.

At that time, after the defeat of the Hungarian Grand Duke, the vassal states belonging to the side of the Church will definitely divide up all the military forces of the Hungarian Grand Duke, and at that time there will be no need to worry about the threat of the other party.

Although they would make the Church military group hostile, it was not possible for the Church military group to wage war against the rebel army that occupied the Hungarian principality in the absence of a settlement between Portugal and France.

After all, now the Portuguese and French and the Ottomans had left the Church military bloc to take care of themselves.

It can be said that the current ecclesiastical military bloc has launched a two-front battle. Its military power has declined somewhat, and it can only fight a draw with the Portuguese and the Ottomans.

Then, in such a situation, as long as the people on the side of the church are not brain-dead, they will definitely not open a third front.

Besides, even if the Church military group wanted to do so, they would not have enough troops and supplies to support them in opening such a front.

Next, the rebel army can have a relatively long time to develop itself.

When everything is consolidated, the rebels just need to be careful of the Ottomans.

At the very least, it was impossible to attack the rebels until there was a decisive victory between the Church and the Portuguese.

Of course, we can't let our guard down against the Church military clique, but it's just a matter of taking precautions. For the rebels, the Ottomans were the worst enemy.

Today, the Ottomans in the Mediterranean and Greece are fighting against the Church military group.

However, the Otto-Mans did not devote all their military strength, only a small number.

The Ottomans were not stupid either, and their idea of fighting was obvious.

That is to say, it is hoped that Portugal and France and the Church military bloc will fight to the death, and when both sides are exhausted, they will invest in the elite to obtain the maximum benefits.

However, the uprising of the Serbs disrupted the Ottomans' plans and plans.

Although they have now left the Ottoman land, the presence of the Serbs is still a great threat to the Ottomans.

Especially after the conquest of Hungary, it was even more of a great problem for the Ottomans.

You know, it's not just the rebel army that's not scary.

Terriblely, the rebels conquered the Hungarian principality and had a territory to recuperate and collect taxes.

Because the Serbs hated the Ottomans, the capital they founded must have been quite hostile to the Ottomans.

The Ottomans would also worry that the Serbs would not be bought off by the Church and then fight against the Ottomans.

If the Church military clique had someone who understood, it would have taken advantage of this.

Although the Principality of Hungary had fallen, the Church was certainly unhappy.

But to be able to get the enemies who occupied the Hungarian principality to fight their enemies, the result is still the same.

After the settlement of Portugal and France, the church can go back and clean up the Serbian rebels.

As long as you are a smart person, you can basically think of this truth.

However, if these things are going to happen, it will be in the future.

The main thing now is to conquer the entire territory of the Hungarian principality before the Grand Duke of Hungary can lead his army back to help.

Speaking of which, the current situation is still very favorable to the rebel army.

After all, the Hungarian Grand Duke was fighting against Portugal and France on the front line, and it was not so easy to lead his army back to help.

Pull them back from the front line, and then the line of defense needs to be put on top of the others.

If the Church could not solve this problem, it would not let the Hungarians go.

But the church can't be unsentimental.

After all, the Hungarian country was invaded and was in danger.

Then if people want to lead the army back, you can't stop it.

It's just that the Hungarians want to come back smoothly for reinforcements, which is not something that can be done in a short time.

There's so much trouble to solve.

Therefore, the rebel army took a big advantage and had a great advantage.

In an instant, a lot of possibilities came to Sywicks' mind.

"Chief, you see, the gates of the castle are open, and a few men are walking this way."

One of the guards raised his hand and pointed in the direction of Fort Yafi and shouted excitedly.

Looking in the direction of the guards' fingers, Siwicks saw the fortified gates of Fort Auffy slowly open, and five men walked out.

One of the first ones also held a white flag.

"Don't be nervous, let our people not move, let them come. These may be the people who Yafei came to negotiate, and if the negotiation is good, then we don't have to continue to fight. ”

Siwicks knew in an instant what these people were about.

Yes, what else can a person who comes with a white flag do in this situation?

It's just to talk to myself about some of their interests after the surrender.

At this moment, Baron Stoker, who walked out of Fort Aaffe with a white flag, was full of uneasiness, and he didn't know if he would successfully negotiate the surrender this time.

If these beggar-like creatures suddenly get into trouble, then they will be out of luck.

Moreover, he feared that these people did not know the rules and would not follow the rules of war. Once you detain a few of them, or simply torture and kill, then you won't be able to close your eyes to death.

This is not something that has never happened before.

The riots of those commoners will not follow the rules many times, and they will basically be tortured and killed when they encounter nobles.

I hope I won't be so unlucky this time.

Stoke prayed secretly in his heart, and began a whisper of the Virgin, the Holy Spirit, the Son, and the Father...... (To be continued......)
