"All the thieves have been surrounded. They are all scared and are powerless to resist. The overall situation has been decided. I am here to congratulate the general!"

"In this battle, our army scored tens of thousands of goals with fewer attacks and achieved success, all thanks to the master's command, otherwise how could we achieve such great achievements!"

"After this battle, the general will definitely be promoted to the admiral. If anyone in Guangzhou dares to say something else, the brothers will never end up with him!"

Outside the Daxiong Hall, Wu Jinzhong accepted the congratulations of the officers under his command. Although the casualties in this battle were a little serious, compared to the capture, what is the mere casualties? Moreover, most of the deaths were battalions. As long as the flag soldiers were not injured, it would not be a big deal for the number of soldiers in the battalions to die.

Seeing that the bandits trapped in the area of ​​Daxiong Hall were already in desperate situation and were full of their own troops from all directions, Wu Jinzhong ordered all units to encircle on the spot and did not attack without orders. The subordinates were confused about this order. The bandits were obviously unable to fight again. Why didn't the general order go into the hall and order to stop the attack?

Wu Jinzhong had his own reasons for ordering to stop the attack, and he could not understand the reason why the trapped beasts were still fighting. Although these bandits who fled into the Daxiong Hall were all scared, they did not flee all the way, but retreated in an orderly manner. When retreating, there were bandits who were covering each other. This shows that the leader of the bandits was also capable, and the bandits who retreated into the hall were not without the power of fighting. Looking at the surroundings of the Daxiong Hall, the bandits obviously occupied a high place, and some defensive fortifications were made in every dangerous place. Although it was rough and simple, it was not easy to attack. It would take some effort to attack.

Furthermore, the Qing army suffered too many casualties during the battle to attack the mountain. Although Wu Jinzhong didn't care about casualties, he died a lot, so he couldn't explain to Guangzhou. After all, he was suppressed only by a group of bandits. It was not serious soldiers. If there were too many soldiers, his face would be bad. Since the situation of the bandits was over, it would be better to reduce unnecessary casualties. For this reason, Wu Jinzhong decided to send someone to persuade him to surrender.

"Persist in surrender?"

The officers were all shocked, wondering why the General wanted to persuade the surrender?

Wu Jinzhong was too lazy to explain something to his subordinates and shouted: "I won't go yet!"

"twitter!"

The military officials had no choice but to send people to persuade them to surrender.

............

In the square in front of Daxiong Hall, thousands of people in the back camp were in chaos, squeezing me, and I squeezed you, everyone was in a mess, and everyone was scared to death. Fear and uneasiness spread throughout the hall. Whether it was the elderly, weak, women and children or the retired back camp soldiers, they had no hope at this moment that they could hold on until the reinforcements arrived.

The soldiers also lost the courage to fight again. When they retreated from the front just now, many soldiers rushed down all the way. This was because they had no strength at all, and they just sat or fell to the ground, looking like they didn't ask questions about the sky. Most of the weapons in their hands had been discarded, and only less than two or three hundred people had weapons in their hands, and the others were empty-handed and looked around in a daze. There was no vitality in their eyes.

We can't blame them for being so unbearable, because they never thought that the Qing army's attack would be so fierce and the battle would be so cruel. They did everything they could, but they still couldn't stop the Qing army from going up the mountain, and they couldn't save their injured companions, which made them exhausted.

What's even more fatal is that the Qing army appeared in the back mountain that I had never expected before. The appearance of this Qing army surprised everyone, and the screams from the back mountain suffocated everyone. Until now, the soldiers, whether they were war soldiers, security members, or the Cuban army, had lost the courage to fight again. They also lost hope, and everyone knew that the reinforcements claimed by General Affairs of Song may not be able to come to save them.

Soldiers without hope and courage were similar to wood. Although there were soldiers guarding the dangerous places deployed in advance. The words "despair" were clearly printed on their faces, and the crying sounds made by the women and children crowded in the square made them unable to raise any fighting spirit.

The collapse is only in front of you.

In this situation where the entire battalion was almost collapsed, the Qing army suddenly stopped attacking and then began to loudly persuade surrender outside, which made some people in the back camp have strange thoughts. The ambassador of the Gongku ku, Lin Wanfu, first responded to the Qingfu's persuasion. This reaction was not to look for his daughter who was unknown to his life or death, nor to look for his sons who did not know where to hide, but to find his subordinates when he was ambassador of Ku.

These subordinates were actually all the staff members of the rice shop in Lin Wanfu before, with as many as 20 or 30 people. Because of the public treasury, these people were not transferred to the defense line. However, most of the money and grain in the public treasury were lost when they retreated to the mountain, and the rest were placed in a side hall behind the Daxiong Hall by Gong Xiang of Song. There were these staff members and several combat soldiers, and more than a dozen security team members were guarding them.

After Lin Wanfu found these guys, he told them that this battle would be impossible. If they fight, everyone would be dead. If they surrender now, although they would definitely suffer, at least their lives could be saved. Those guys were originally obeyed by him, and they would be even more inclined to save their lives. So they agreed to the old boss' request and contacted the battalion's officers for him and the battalion manager.

Soon, the guys came and returned one after another. Except for the former Laofengzhuang Copper Mine, the battalions and managers of the other battalions agreed to surrender to the Qing army.

With so many battalion officials and the battalion manager agreed, Lin Wanfu immediately had confidence, but it was not enough to have battalion officials but the battalion managers agreed. They had to convince those who had swords in their hands, otherwise they would have to pay their lives. Those who had swords in their hands could not defeat the Qing army, but killing Lin Wanfu before the Qing army attacked in was a trivial matter. At this moment, those people probably wouldn't worry that Lin Wanfu's daughter was Zhou Qianhu's maid, and Lin Wanfu was Zhou Qianhu's cheap father-in-law.

For safety reasons, Lin Wanfu found the camp manager who agreed to surrender, and then took them to find Zhao Sihai.

After seeing Zhao Sihai, no one in the camp was willing to speak, and Lin Wanfu had no choice but to take on this disgraceful role.

After hearing Lin Wanfu's words that he wanted to surrender, Zhao Sihai did not turn against him and killed someone with a knife. Instead, hesitated for a moment and agreed to go to Duke Xiang of Song to talk about surrender. This made Lin Wanfu and the old people in the camp breathed a sigh of relief and were all over the same time.

Some people wondered that Zhao Sihai was Zhou Shixiang's confidant, so he shouldn't have agreed to surrender, but why did he agree?
