Chapter 433: Announcing Surrender and Accepting Surrender
Seeing Feng Longde's hands that began to move and the knight's sword clenched in both hands, Shiozukigawa slowly closed his eyes, waiting for the final moment to come, and the Japanese samurai in the distance began to stir again, but under the black hole of the guns of the Teutonic artillerymen and Boghall pikemen, they were a little restrained, but they would also ignore the terrifying fire of the Teutonic soldiers and directly attack the encirclement, but they did not do so now.
However, things did not happen as Shiozukigawa and the Japanese samurai imagined: Feng Longde just put the knight's longsword that he was holding in both hands back into the scabbard on the armed belt at his waist again, and then pulled out the axe-shaped halberd that was inserted next to Shiozukikawa's neck and carried it diagonally behind his back, just stuck on the inside of the steel iris shield that was also on his back, so as not to fall off.
"Maybe for you, defeat is a shame, so you must wash away this shame with your own death or the death of your enemy" After putting all his weapons back into the corresponding parts of his body, Feng Longde stretched out his right hand wearing plate armor gloves to Yanyue Chuan, who was lying on the ground, "But this is your custom, for us Teutonic people, defeat is not a shameful thing, at best, it is regret and a lesson, inspiring us to learn more experience and win back the victory in the next battle." ”
Facing the right hand stretched out to him, Shio Yuechuan hesitated for a while: for him who had received years of education and training as an orthodox samurai, Feng Longde's view did not match his cognition, but after all, he was a young daimyo or a young samurai, and he had a sense of samurai glory and a yearning for life, but now the conflict between these two seemingly very different concepts made him hesitate.
"You are a daimyo, according to our custom, equivalent to a noble lord, and the surviving samurai under your command are equivalent to our knights, equivalent to the most basic low-level nobles. Seeing Yan Yuechuan's hesitant look, Feng Longde shrugged his shoulders, "According to our customs, you who have the status of nobility can surrender to us, and if you obey our arrangement, you will be treated with the dignity you deserve, until you redeem yourself with the corresponding ransom, then you will be free, and we will not stop your actions after that, as long as it will not be unfavorable to us." ”
"Ransom?" Not only the Shiongetsu River lying on the ground, but even the Japanese samurai in the distance who heard Feng Longde's words looked at each other, this kind of thing that was quite common in the European Middle Ages in this era of human civilization was no less than a strange thing for these samurai from the Warring States period of Japan.
In this regard, Feng Longde didn't bother to explain to these people what the ransom was, and continued directly: "It's very simple, you can surrender to us, Yanyuechuan, you don't need to pursue death in battle at all, we will ensure the safety of your lives and the corresponding decent treatment in line with your identity on the premise that you will not continue to be an enemy of us, but if you want to restore your freedom, then you need to find a way to exchange the corresponding money for your freedom." ”
After hearing Feng Longde's simple explanation, the Japanese samurai who were surrounded by the Teutonic soldiers in the distance directly discussed with each other, and all kinds of miscellaneous discussions and arguments were endless, and a Japanese samurai who was too excited tried to wave the weapon in his hand and rushed at the Teutonic soldiers, but the Teutonic soldiers mercilessly pushed back with their shields and gun hilts- If it weren't for the fact that this Japanese samurai hadn't made more drastic moves, such as actually attacking them, and Feng Longde had also given the order not to attack them at will, these Teutonic soldiers would have gone on a killing spree.
"Are you sure what you're saying is true?" Yan Yuechuan, who was lying on the ground, spoke, while fixing his eyes on the pair of azure eyes that appeared in the peephole of the demonic ring-winged barrel helmet that Feng Longde was wearing.
"Yes, what I said is true, and I swear in the name of the undead king and in the name of all the Teutonic people in the Teutonic camp. Feng Longde nodded and replied.
After making sure that Feng Longde's promise should not be a lie, Yan Yuechuan hesitated for quite a long time, and finally made up his mind to raise his right hand and hold Feng Longde's right hand stretched out to him, and stood up again.
After glancing at Feng Longde a few times with a complicated expression, Shiotsukikawa nodded slightly at him, and then turned to the Japanese samurai who were surrounded by Teutonic soldiers in the distance: "Okay, my brave samurai, the battle is over." This battle has not been lost because of your weakness or cowardice, but you have proven your courage and strength to me, yourself, and your enemies, so now lay down your weapons and rest in place. ”
After Shiozukigawa finished speaking, most of the Japanese samurai took off their helmets and put them on their waists or hung them diagonally behind their backs, reluctantly inserted the various weapons in their hands on the ground, and then sat on the ground in a sitting posture to rest.
Although the vast majority of Japanese samurai were dissatisfied or unwilling to accept this outcome, they all suppressed their thoughts and obeyed Shiotsukigawa's arrangement, but there were still some more stubborn Japanese samurai who did not do so, but tried to attack the Teutonic soldiers who surrounded them with their weapons.
For these Japanese samurai who wanted to die, Feng Longde waved his hand directly, and a group of lich mages who shrouded their entire body in black magic robes and even covered their faces under the hood walked forward, using the [Vertigo Technique] in the spiritual magic to put them into a deep coma one by one- The reason why Feng Longde agreed to Yan Yuechuan's one-on-one duel was so happy, in addition to wanting to see how many catties and taels this young daimyo had, he also fought for enough time for the lich mages to come here from within the three lines of defense and do a good job of using the [Vertigo Technique] of the spiritual magic power collectively It is also a major reason, these hundreds of Japanese samurai can be said to be the most precious trophies, the living is definitely more valuable than the dead, as many prisoners as possible, as for those who were killed by the Teutonic troops on the battlefield, they can only be considered unlucky, how can there be immortals in the war, their only hope is that before Feng Longde and the other deceased begin to collect the soul energy here, the soul will quickly run to the Santu River and be sent to hell by the god of death in Onozuka Komachi to be reincarnated, go early this year, come early next year, and after eighteen years, he will be a good man, no, a good samurai
As Shiozukigawa said, these Japanese samurai from the Sengoku period of Japan, who do not know which parallel plane, failed not because they were weak or cowardly, in fact, these Japanese samurai were quite good at fighting: the katana, like the knight's sword of European knights, was often a weapon that accompanied a Japanese samurai throughout his life, and in the early Warring States period of Japan and earlier, the katana was the main combat weapon of a Japanese samurai; , long-handled or heavy weapons such as naginatas and notai swords, and unlike the knights who did not use bows and crossbows, Japanese samurai also used long-range weapons such as bows, and if it was a year or two hundred or more, they would also begin to use muskets on a large scale. Whether it was a knight in the Middle Ages in Europe or a samurai in the Sengoku period in Japan, each of them was equipped with a considerable number of weapons, and if a knight or a samurai drew their knight's sword or katana and used it, then no one could say that they were cowards and cowards, unless they did so because they themselves lost the rest of their weapons on the way to escape, and only the one they had with them was left.
When the vast majority of Japanese samurai laid down their weapons, a small number of stubborn Japanese samurai were also cast by the lich mages with spiritual magic [Vertigo] After the corresponding effect, some of the Teutonic soldiers who surrounded them stepped forward and began to collect their weapons, and several of them were the leaders of the Teutonic artillery squad who left the MG42 general-purpose machine gun in their hands and took out their notebooks and pencils, and began to register the owner of each seized katana while the other Teutonic soldiers collected their weapons, and wrote down the names in the notebooks, so that they could return them without mistake when they regained their freedom; When the time comes, the metal part will be directly taken and remelted into metal materials by the military factory.
After all the weapons were collected, these Japanese samurai stood up one after another, and the Japanese samurai who were in a deep coma by the spiritual magic [Vertigo] cast by the lich mages were also woken up by the small water balloons in the water magic cast by the lich mages, and tied them up without saying a word, and even in order to prevent them from biting their tongues and committing suicide, the lich mages also told the Teutonic soldiers to find some rags and stuff them into their mouths, so that they could all be sent or escorted to the pre-war camp with confidence.
After all this, the lich mages also began to do the real important thing, which is to protect the remains of their own dead Teutonic soldiers carried out by the armed human workers who cleaned the battlefield, and repair all the damage to the body with muscle rejuvenation or activation liquid until it is no different from when they were alive, and firmly protect their souls that have not yet begun to dissipate in the body, and then pull them back to the Teutonic camp to decide whether to perform the sacrifice and be reincarnated as a corpse witch or remove the magic that protects the soul from the body and bury it: this time the Teutons lost far more dead than in the previous two battlesThe total number of personnel of the two Boghhall pikemen companies was nearly 100 men, of which more than two-thirds of the dead were recruit eggs, not to mention the five Acropolis regiment detachments, which were all recruit eggs, and they almost lost the soldiers equivalent to two Acropolis regiment detachments, and the death rate was higher than that of the Boghall pikemen; the losses of the Boghall two-handed swordsmen were greater, losing exactly half of the number, and their company captain Billy Murphy was more likely to lose half of the number of soldiers. As for the Teutonic Tomahawk Rangers, the only cavalry flag team in the Teutonic camp that the writing rangers read as heavy cavalry was found to be almost wiped out after the battle, only sixteen or seventeen were still alive, but at the same time, their results were also the most astonishing, these Teutonic Tomahawk Rangers were able to carry a large group of Japanese samurai with naginata, and the attacks of the Japanese samurai and other foot Japanese samurai until the whole battlefield was reversed, and they also killed at least twice as many enemies as themselves, this has to see the tenacity and tenacity of these guys, with the price of iron and blood to play their own prestige.
The only ones who did not lose in this battle and maintained a perfect formation were the Teutonic artillerymen and the Boghall pikemen, both of which relied on the defensive line to provide fire support to their own Teutonic troops on the front line or to cover the area full of enemies, even if they were later ordered by Feng Longde through the lich mages, these guys also used extremely terrifying individual firepower to enter the battlefield and inflict a dense rain of bullets on the enemy, in this case, if there were still casualties, then it can only be said that how stupid the guy could hang up in this advantageous situation
Of course, all of them are black knights among the deceased, and the knights of the Guards such as Yarman naturally have no casualties, at most the Teutonic Gothic plate armor on some members is only slightly damaged, and they only need to go to the military factory to find craftsmen to repair it a little - these Guard Knights are the same as Feng Longde, if they face an enemy within the scope of ordinary humans, then it will be difficult to produce real casualties, at best, it will consume more physical strength.
At this time, the knights of the guards had already pounced on the enemy camp at the edge of the forest under the leadership of Yarman, captured all the civilian workers who were still in it, and then drove them to clean up the battlefield together, and transported the loot and supplies to the Teutonic camp under the supervision of the armed human workers: these thousands of civilian workers could alleviate the current labor shortage in the Teutonic camp, and they basically listened to whoever was strong, which was much easier to manage than the Japanese samurai who had a personal unruly and unruly prisoner, which just drove them to work faster to clean up the battlefield。 (To be continued.) )
