Chapter 412: The First Surrendered Force

The content of the order written by Dong Wanxin said: "The partial general did not obey the order, and has been taken down by Xiahou Chong, and now his deputy is temporarily reappointed to take over his position, so that this deputy can continue to carry out the surrender order that the partial general did not carry out before."

The deputy was also surprised to see this order, but he did not dare to question anything. After all, the lessons of his immediate boss are there, and the partial general was taken down because he did not obey the order.

He didn't want to repeat his boss's mistakes. In fact, the current situation is still very good for him, at least, he was promoted to a level for no reason. Don't underestimate this level, which is a critical level in the transition from mid-level officers to senior officers.

Under normal circumstances, to complete this transformation, I don't know how many military exploits and how many qualifications I have to work to achieve, and some people may not be able to cross this threshold even if they survive for a lifetime, but what is in front of him now is a very good opportunity to complete the transformation and replace the partial general.

Although it was a bit shameful to surrender to the enemy army, they had long heard that the Emperor of Shu Han had always treated prisoners preferentially, and whether it was an officer or a soldier, as long as they surrendered sincerely, there would be no personal danger in the prisoner camp of Shu Han.

Moreover, after a period of transformation and education, if you perform well, you can reuse it. An official position like oneself is no longer low, and it will inevitably receive key attention, and when the time comes, be eye-catching, and make a sincere and obedient appearance, maybe you will soon be able to return to the army and get the opportunity to continue to lead the troops.

With the Wei State staying in the West Mountain at dusk, he was worried all day long, and finally followed Cao Pi to accompany the Wei State to the funeral, it is better to go to Shu Han like the rising sun and change to a better platform to work hard.

The deputy called his confidants and told them about the situation, and everyone agreed with him. Now there are not many people who can follow Cao Pi sincerely, maybe there are only those surnamed Xiahou except for the surname Cao, even if these two families are not everyone still with Cao Pi, just look at Cao Hong, Xiahou Ba, and Xiahou Shang.

Those who are of the same heart as Wei and Cao Pi are, of course, not including these middle- and lower-level officers and soldiers. It's good to enjoy the shade under the big tree, and now everyone knows that Shu Han is the plane tree that can inhabit the phoenix, and Wei and Wu, although they used to be big trees with lush leaves, but unfortunately time has passed, and now these two towering trees have almost lost their branches and leaves, and they are crumbling.

This group of men and horses quickly assembled, and then went down the mountain to surrender without hesitation. They were the first to arrive, and they actually rushed down the mountain in front of the other troops to ask for surrender from the Shu army. In the handsome tent of the Shu army under the mountain, Zhang Bao, Su Li and others were also waiting very anxiously, they were all concentrated in the handsome tent, some people were pacing around, some people were restless, some people kept drinking tea, but no one spoke, they were all waiting quietly.

Cao Hong and Dong Wan have been on the mountain for half a day, but there is no movement yet, will there be any accidents? Will they fail to persuade them to surrender? Will he be detained or even killed by Xiahou Chong? Or, their previous surrender was just a last resort, and now that the dragon has returned to the sea and has a chance to escape, they will take the opportunity to return to Wei?

Zhang Bao attaches great importance to this persuasion, if the persuasion fails, it means that they are going to have a hard battle. Although this battle can definitely be won, his losses will definitely not be small.

Attacking a hill on the back, cavalry troops are useless, and at this time their first division must go out in person. But even a firearms unit like their 1st Division would certainly not be able to remain as unscathed in the face of a condescending enemy as it would be on flat ground.

This is a very simple truth, the enemy only needs to throw a wooden rolling stone on it, and the lethality of a high-altitude projectile will not be much worse than that of a firearm.

The casualties of the soldiers certainly made Zhang Bao's heart ache, but the key thing is that attacking the hill will inevitably involve a lot of fortified places, so that the consumed ammunition will go to the sea. It is estimated that after this battle, they will run out of ammunition.

As soon as the ammunition is exhausted, they will have to withdraw from Guanzhong, then, the set strategic goals will not be achieved. This is something that affects the overall situation, at the very least, he has failed His Majesty's expectations, and at the very least, this may make the entire extermination operation completely fail, can he Zhang Bao afford that kind of consequences?

Although everyone is very anxious, there is no good way now, they can only continue to wait, and can only wait and see what happens. I don't know how long it took, but just when everyone was so anxious that they were about to lose their breath, they suddenly heard a shout of "newspaper", and a soldier ran in with a long tail note.

Everyone was in high spirits, thinking that it was finally here, and they didn't know if it was good news or bad news. I saw the soldier kneeling on one knee, clasping his hands into fists, and said, "Report to the general, a group of people and horses came down from the mountain, waving white flags." ”

There was a burst of cheers from the people in the tent, and the hard work paid off, and they waited for a long time to finally get the good news. The white flag, both in ancient and modern times, represents the meaning of surrender, and the troops that went down the mountain obviously came to surrender.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that they came to surrender by fraud, after all, it is not uncommon in the history of wars in ancient and modern China and foreign countries. However, the 1st Division was well equipped to deal with such situations. Zhang Bao gave an order and immediately ordered people to meet this team.

The so-called greeting, of course, cannot be like Zhu ~ Mao Huishi, everyone clasped their hands as soon as they came up, and then took off their hats and threw them into the sky, jumping and jumping to cheer and celebrate. The reality is that the two sides are not familiar with each other, and they don't know what everyone's intentions are, so they still need to slowly test and understand step by step.

First of all, everyone stands still outside the place of an arrow, and if the two sides are still fighting, this time it is necessary to "shoot the position", which means that when you shoot arrows at each other, the arrows fired by both sides will be inserted into the ground in front of the opponent's formation, forming a strip composed of arrow shafts.

Everyone stands in front of the strip of arrows that the other person shoots, so that everyone is out of range of the opponent's arrows, everyone is safe, and everyone can talk with confidence. If you want to negotiate or talk harshly, or if you want to fight, it will take place between these two arrow strips, and the brigade will continue to stay in a safe place outside the range of the arrows.

However, now that one side is going to surrender, then this process of "shooting at the position" will be avoided, and everyone will be conscious and stand in a position about the distance. After everyone stood still, both sides sent negotiators to the blank space between the two armies for dialogue.

Naturally, the process went very smoothly, and the Wei negotiators expressed their willingness to surrender, and the Shu negotiators welcomed the 1st Division and reaffirmed the Shu army's policy of preferential treatment of prisoners, assuring that they would not be treated unfairly.

Therefore, immediately enter the detailed negotiation of the surrender process, the heart of harm must not be had, the heart of defense is indispensable, the Shu army has a set of precautionary procedures for the surrender army, although they treat the prisoners preferentially, but it does not mean that they do not take preventive measures against the captives.
