Chapter 166: Surrender
"The honorable king of Beichen is above, and the general of the defeated army of Gaul is offering a book and begging to surrender! My Gaul country does not know the power of the Beichen Kingdom, and it is really the way to bring about your own destruction by commanding a large army to resist the heavenly soldiers. Sure enough, the million-strong army was defeated in battle, losing troops and losing cities and land. Now that my 400,000 remnants of my army have been defeated, I feel the power of heaven and dare not make any more resistance. I only beg the king to be gracious and forgive me for the offense of anger!
Contributor: Butz, the current commander of the Gallic Army. Sals! ”
When one of the guards finished reading the surrender book offered by the Gallic army, Xiao Chen spoke first: "The Gallic army is about to surrender, let's talk about what's going on!" ”
Yue Fei, who was standing next to him, said with a calm expression: "The capital of Gaul was destroyed, and the king died in the war. The domestic soldiers and horses were defeated one after another, and the damage was great, and now Joan of Arc is also dead, and the surrender of the Gallic army is also expected. Accepting surrender is a must, but this 400,000 army is not easy to arrange! ”
"Wouldn't it be okay to bring all 400,000 people back to China and make them slaves?" Ma Chao listened to Yue Fei's last sentence and asked suspiciously.
Xiao Chen sighed and said, "It's impossible to be a slave!" Today, the population of the Han nationality in Beichen is only more than 4 million, but the population of Waiyi is as high as more than 3 million. If you add these 400,000 people and the people of Gaul, the Han population of my Beichen Kingdom will be directly surpassed by foreign people.! ”
"What? No way! Listening to Xiao Chen's words, a few people in the tent who didn't know the situation immediately cried out in surprise.
"It's true, Wen Ruo told me about this a while ago. It's just that I was at war with Gaul at that time, and I didn't think much about it! ”
Ma Chao frowned and said, "Since this is the case, then what should we do?" ”
Xiao Chen rolled his eyes, sister, it's this king who asks you again!
"I don't know!"
“”
"King, let's accept the surrender of the remnants of Gaul first! As long as they surrender, whether we kill or stay at that time, they will no longer be a problem! After Yue Fei finished speaking, his whole body exuded a sinister aura, but he quickly took it back again.
Xiao Chen exhaled heavily, the aura that Yue Fei unintentionally exuded just now was really too domineering. "Well, just do what Marshal Yue said, and I will consider the rest of the matter in the future!"
"No!" More than ten generals in the big tent immediately clasped their fists and saluted, and said in unison.
Subsequently, the Beichen army replied to the letter of surrender of the remnants of the Gallic army. All the Gallic soldiers were asked to lay down all their weapons and go out of the city on their own accord to accept the surrender of the nearby Beichen army.
The Gallic army, which was bent on surrendering, did not have the slightest opinion, and all accepted the request of the Beichen army.
The next morning, Xiao Chen was wearing a golden armor and a sword at his waist, and the little lion was also majestic and majestic when he sat down and took a night photo. He was followed by Yue Fei, Ma Chao, Wang Ping, Yun Qi, Hua Rong, Da Zhuang and more than ten Beichen Army generals, all dressed in exquisite armor and swords at their waists, looking mighty and handsome.
The 400,000 people who stayed in the Beichen Army barracks outside Hachi City also gathered in the open space in front of the camp. Of these 400,000 people, only 200,000 are the real elite of the Beichen Army. The remaining 200,000 people are all just people, but now everyone seems to have forgotten who they used to be.
The 400,000-strong army lined up in a neat formation, magnanimous and domineering, like a blood tide. The Beichen saber and shield soldier in iron armor slammed the huge shield in his hand into the ground. In this way, he held a knife in one hand and a shield in the other and looked at Hachicheng in front of him.
The Changge soldiers stood up neatly and neatly in their hands, and all the small branches on the Changge were facing Hachicheng. The momentum of Changge Rulin spread across the heavens and the earth, making people feel chilled.
The archers didn't make too much of a show of personality, just stood there quietly in iron armor and with a longbow in hand. There is no grandeur on the battlefield, when thousands of arrows are fired together, only the tight bowstring, which makes people still dare not underestimate their existence.
The 50,000 cavalry troops showed their faces this time, one by one in iron armor, holding a cavalry spear in their hands, and wearing a sharp cavalry knife at their waists. The horse that sat down was also given a layer of leather vest, and the red knight's armor was matched with the same red vest, and the whole man and the horse seemed to be integrated.
Especially now, 50,000 elite iron horsemen raised their spears in their hands, controlled their horses, and slowly galloped around Hachi City at their usual speed. Although the speed was a little slow, the power of the 50,000 iron horsemen when they ran did not diminish in the slightest.
The sound of 200,000 horses' hooves stomping on the ground made the whole world tremble. Galloping horses, cheering knights, all these things cannot be stopped by man. The war horses are galloping, the warriors are mighty, the flags are undulating, and the army is like a frenzy, and it is fierce.
It didn't take long for the south gate of Hachi City to slowly open.
Then, several generals in iron armor, riding war horses, slowly walked out of the city gate. At the head was an elderly general, about fifty or sixty years old, and the beard on his chin was already half white. The expression on his face was even more melancholy, and the wrinkles made the old man even more vicissitudes.
The shabby armor on his body even had a trace of undried blood. There was no sword at his waist, only a delicate long knife with a golden handle.
Xiao Chen recognized this old general at a glance, he should be Butz. That is, the commander of the 400,000 remnants of the Gallic State now, the general of the Gallic State who wrote the letter of begging.
It's not that Xiao Chen knows Butz, the reason why he can recognize Butz is that the long knife with a golden handle and golden sheath helped Xiao Chen.
As a young man in the twenty-third century, Xiao Chen naturally knew that it should be the unique command knife of the general in the outer * team. However, compared to the Chinese Shang Fang sword, this command knife is really not much. After all, Shang Fang's sword at least has a domineering name!
Moreover, the writing is really bad! Compared with the same article as the Chinese language, it is too untalented.
Butz was the first to lead, followed by young generals. These generals are also dressed in armor and not holding weapons. The expression on his face was also lonely. After all, there are few generals who are willing to accept such a thing as defeating the battle and surrendering.
After Boots led several generals out of the city, he stopped not long after. Then, groups of Gallic soldiers began to walk out of the city.
Every Gallic soldier had a knowing smile on his face. They were feeling lucky that they had escaped death, and they were relieved that they were still alive.
It's not that they're not loyal to their country, they're not loyal to their people. For the sake of the king, they are willing to fight a bloody battle with the fierce Beichen army; For the sake of their loved ones, they are also willing to die on the battlefield.
But now, the entire territory of the country has been occupied by the Beichen Army. The capital was breached, and the king died in battle. The relatives are also living under the rule of the Beichen Army, and they don't know how their relatives are doing now.
But they only knew that if they were still here to fight with the Beichen Army, their relatives would definitely be slaughtered. They only joined the army to protect their families, not because they killed the enemy and affected their families.
Besides, now that the king is dead, the great general Joan of Arc has committed suicide. For whom is the 400,000 army still fighting? The country is gone, the territory is gone, what are you still fighting for!
Every soldier of Gaul, after leaving the city gates, threw all the sharp weapons in his hand in front of the army.
The 200,000 Gallic soldiers all laid down their weapons. With only a layer of armor on their bodies, they were facing countless Beichen troops. can only honestly line up the military formation, shrug his head, and wait for the Beichen army to deal with it.
Xiao Chen was very dissatisfied, and only threw down the weapon, what is it! As far as their weapons are concerned, they are of no use to the Beichen Army at all, so they can only remain in storage. The equipment of the two armies is different, and it is impossible to use it at all.
But the armor is different, although the style is not the same as the Beichen Army, but as long as it is dyed with red paint, the Beichen Army can still use it. Armor is used for protection, and it doesn't matter if it's different. The important thing is that the Beichen sergeant can live, and that is enough. As for the weapons, it depends on whether they can match the original weapons of the Beichen Army and exert the power of the military array.
As a result, Xiao Chen gave an order, and the only armor that could keep warm on the soldiers of the Gallic State was cruelly and ruthlessly stripped off by the Beichen army.
Because of his identity as a surrendered army, it is really not worth it to make trouble with the Beichen Army for a piece of armor. The only thing I am glad about is that it is only November, and the temperature is not too low, so the troops can bear it.
It took more than two hours for the 400,000 remnants of the Gallic army to leave Hachicheng. And outside the city, he put down the weapons in his hands, took off the armor on his body, and honestly formed a huge phalanx.
After all the troops laid down their weapons and returned to the main formation. Butz took the command sword and walked to Xiao Chen, who was not far away.
"Butz, the general of the defeated army of Gaul, led an army of 200,000 out of the city and came to surrender to the king, hoping that the king would be favorable!" Old Butz walked in front of Xiao Chen, slowly bent down, and slowly raised the command knife above his head with both hands.
Xiao Chen didn't take the command sword, but just quietly looked at the old Butz in front of him. That was until one of the guards stepped forward to take the command knife and retreat behind him.
Xiao Chen opened his mouth and said: "General Butz Fang Xin, for your army, my Beichen Kingdom has always treated captives preferentially, and I can treat Jesus!" ”
After speaking, Xiao Chen's heart immediately became lively, and he couldn't care what to do with them in the future. As for the oath, Xiao Chen could only say that he really didn't know who Jesus was!
"Thank you, King for your extrajudicial kindness!"
Listening to Xiao Chen's words, Butz was very happy.
But is it really okay to be happy?
For the captives, there is only one word!
