Chapter 335
"Surrender!"
Stanley half-sighed.
Now the situation is not something they can change, the logistics are cut off, the nobles are scattered, and the Magus refuses to fight. Any piece of news can make the aristocratic army doomed, let alone come together.
Zipley muttered.
"We still have 700,000 troops, and we still occupy large tracts of land. Don't you have a chance? Maybe looking for Ortuno will help us. ”
Stanley chuckled and asked.
"Do you believe this nonsense? Ortuno and they can't protect themselves, will they come to help us? What if there are 700,000 troops? The logistics are cut off, the group army does not have to do anything, as long as it surrounds us, we can starve to death. The day before yesterday, another Magister died under the guns of the army, and now those guys will never be able to fight for us. It is estimated that in a few days, he will pat his ass and leave. ”
"Actually, it's nothing to surrender, the army group won't do anything to us?"
"If the army group kills me, I'll thank them."
Zipley said.
"There can be no surrender, no surrender. It is better to die on the battlefield than to accept the mercy of the enemy! ”
"Sipley, you know, that's 700,000 soldiers. They all have their own families, what's the point of letting them die? ”
Stanley asked.
"This is how soldiers should be, since they have chosen this noble profession, they have to bear their due responsibility."
Sipril retorted without hesitation.
"But how many people volunteered!"
Stanley almost shouted it.
In Zipley's heart, the honor of a soldier trumps anything else. It is always better to die under the enemy's sword than to be trampled under the feet of the enemy.
But this extreme thinking is also limited to a few people.
Most of the people were forced to participate in this war, and if it weren't for the forced conscription of the nobles, no one would want to fight the group army.
Wayne has a good image in the hearts of most soldiers, treating prisoners well, accepting civilians, and helping the weak.
As for the sense of honor of any soldier, for these big-headed soldiers whose names cannot be written, their lives are still precious.
Sipley, who was apparently involved in the conscription, could not have been unaware of this.
"Are we going to take these 700,000 people and want the army to surrender, 700,000 people?! No one has surrendered with so many troops, do you know how future generations will laugh at us? Cowards, shame on the military! ”
Stanley saw that Zipley was stubborn, and he did not intend to persuade him.
"Okay, then you stay. I'll go out now and see how many people are willing to come with me. I can't let everyone follow you to your death! ”
With that, Stanley strode out the door.
Zipley chased after the door, pointed at Stanley and cursed.
"Coward, coward! You're ashamed of your uniform! ”
But Stanley left without looking back, as if he hadn't heard.
The news of the quarrel between the two spread quickly, and the originally languishing aristocratic army immediately boiled.
To surrender or not to surrender?
"I heard that no, General Stanley is going to surrender, I'll go to him now."
"Really? And what about General Zipley. If both of them decide to surrender, then the matter is settled. Then there will be no more battles with the army group. ”
"I don't know, I heard that the two generals had a falling out. General Stanley insisted on surrendering, but General Zipley insisted on holding out. ”
"Uh-huh. I've heard about it, too. Now General Stanley is gathering the soldiers who want to surrender and go to the army group together. It's easy to talk about a lot of people. Without further ado, I'll go to General Stanley now. ”
"Take me one!"
"Take me one too."
Stanley did not run away in a bad mood, but gathered the soldiers who wanted to surrender.
The surrender of a general is completely different from the surrender of a large group of soldiers.
"Brothers, although the most important thing for a soldier is loyalty, our lives are also lives, not stones on the side of the road. Now our supplies have been cut off, and the two counts have been taken prisoner. This is a war that is doomed to lose, and what are we going to do? And one of the brothers didn't have one or two family members in their family, and we died. What do they do? The nobles are scattered, and there will be no one to help them. May starve to death. Who wants that to happen? ”
Tens of thousands of people surrounded Stanley, some with haggard faces, some covered with scars, and thousands of people.
But they all have one thing in common, their faces are full of boredom and exhaustion of war.
They have only one thought now, go home!
"I will decide to surrender to the group army now, if you want to go with me, you can go, and if you don't want to go, you can stay, and I won't stop you!"
Then the crowd moved out of the way, just in time for Stanley to pass.
Looking at the miserable soldiers on both sides of the road, Stanley was full of emotion.
Then he saw a crutch, a crutch held by a young man of fifteen or sixteen.
And the young soldier really looked at him, his eyes full of confusion about the future.
Suddenly, his throat choked.
How many people shouldn't be involved in this damn war.
At the same time, he is more and more sure that he has made the right decision, that he wants to end this war that should not have happened.
Hundreds of thousands of people followed Stanley as he moved slowly, and when viewed from the air, it looked like a large piece of land moving, which was very spectacular.
"You can't go! I've spent tens of thousands of gold on you, and you can't do this to me! ”
"Come back, Stanley, we can make you an earl! Let you replace Boris with the title. We've got your back! ”
Several nobles tried to salvage the situation, but for an army of nearly 700,000, their voices were still too small.
"Gone, gone!"
In the afterglow of the remnant sun, Cypley watched the army that was gradually moving away. Full of melancholy.
He looked back at the soldiers who had been left behind.
But there are hundreds of people, and it is very desolate.
At the moment, Zipley was emotional.
"You all chose to stay, and you all did well. This will be the most important choice of your life, and you will be the warriors chosen from 700,000 seeds. You will prove with your lives that the honor of the soldier is the brightest star under this night sky. ”
"Working with you is also the honor of my life!"
Cipri bowed heavily, extremely sincere.
Hundreds of soldiers also returned the salute, extremely sincere.
"Rather fight than surrender!"
Cypri shouted.
Hundreds of soldiers also shouted from the bottom of their hearts, and the sunset witnessed the last group of soldiers of the old era at the same time the most glorious and the last moment!
Army.
With the surrender of the army came the redundant and complicated surrender work.
A whole 700,000 people, not to mention food, even pulling is a problem. You can't defecate anywhere, it's easy to produce germs.
No less than a thousand manure pits alone were dug, and most of the soldiers sat outdoors. He didn't even tie his hands, and he was very cooperative with the work of the group army.
Stanley also calmly waited for the arrangement of the army.
