Chapter 304 Wish to surrender, don't shoot

"Snatch him, mom! Dog, the Qing Yao, wait until the artillery team arrives and you will have some good looks!"

Fan Tongqing waved his fist into the town viciously, and the corpse of Xinhui came down from the sea of ​​blood. This once poor boy from the countryside is now cruel to his bones.

Huang Si chuckled and asked him: "You have sent people to see the nearby villages. How many people are willing to go with us?"

Fan Tongqing shook his head: "Qing Yao everywhere advocated that our Taiping Army is a bandit who kills people without blinking, so most of the people in the nearby villages have run away. They either hide in this Daliang Town or hide in other places. The people left behind are all old, weak, sick and disabled, and we don't need to take them away."

When Huang Si heard that there were not many people, he couldn't help but frown: "Where is the food?"

Fan Tongqing spread his hands: "How much food can the villagers have? Those who can take away must have taken away. Those who have not taken away have also found a place to bury them. Where can I find them? You can't dig three feet of the ground, right?"

"It seems that we must take down this Daliang Town, otherwise our mission will not be completed, and the number given to us by the superiors is quite large."

Huang Si had a headache.

Fan Tongqing asked him: "How many tasks did the superior give you?"

Huang Si stretched out his hands and said, "This number."

“1000 stones?!”

Fan Tongqing was so scared that he stuck out his tongue and said, "Be good, so much, I'm afraid it's lingering. We have only got more than 200 stones together now, which is still a big gap."

Huang Si smiled bitterly and said helplessly: "There is no way. The boss asked us to raise food, but we would not let us kill people or rob. We had to buy real money and silver with the people, but most of the people ran away, so where did I go to buy it? I didn't see any blind eyes on us along the way. I hope that this Daliang Town can make a fortune."

"After the town was broken, I took people to search the big households from house to house. If I dare not pay the grain, I would slaughter them. The superiors told us not to kill the people indiscriminately, but these people are not ordinary people, are they? If they can give Qing Yao food, they can give us. If they don't give it, just him. My mother is with Qing Yao. If he destroys his whole family, he can be yesterday!" At this point, Fan Tongqing smiled again and whispered to Huang Si: "You iron camp coach has done a lot of this last year. You are afraid you are a familiar person."

Huang Si smiled slightly, but he didn't answer Fan Tongqing's words, but he made up his mind that he would definitely be a little bit dark after breaking the town, otherwise he would not be able to pay enough military rations. The Iron Camp coach would definitely not have the best results for him.

"There are green camps in the town. I guess there should be some military rations. In addition, you have also seen the young and strong people who helped the Qing army guard the village. These people are brought with us who are willing to go with us. If they don't want to leave, they will ask their family to redeem the food, otherwise they will be cheaper."

"That's natural. Can you do it without suffering any trouble?"

"Hundred Houses, our people are here."

The two were talking. A small flag officer came over to report that the artillery team was coming. Huang Si and Fan Tongqing looked back and saw that a general flag of the artillery team was directing dozens of gunners to push several cannons on the mule cart.

The general flag was originally from the Han army flag. It was a little later than Huang Si and the others, so although they came to support Huang Si, they did not dare to put on airs. They came forward and saw Huang Si with a smile, and greeted Fan Tongqing again.

Huang Si said to the general flag: "There are about a few hundred demons in the town. Please ask me to bomb the cannon at the fortress later. I don't want to blow people up, but I just need to blow them up so that they dare not show their heads."

"Let's just look at Huang Baihu."

The artillery team general flag laughed and waved his hand to remove several tiger squat cannons from the car, then shouted: "Brothers, put the cannon up and ask the Qing Yao inside to see if our cannons have eyes!"

"Don't worry, brothers, please call Qing Yao a loud voice!"

The gunners happily moved the cannons out of the car, and chose a flat place to prepare the cannons.

The cannons were not yet installed, but something happened in the town. The gate of the fortress that had been closed was suddenly opened. Then several battalions walked towards this side in fear, waved their hands to signal the Taiping Army not to fire guns, let alone fire guns.

"What are Qing Yao doing? Negotiate with us?"

Huang Sida was surprised by the strange actions of several battalions, but he also realized that these battalions were probably ordered to negotiate.

The cannons were all set up, and he was talking about his mother's verdict. Huang Si didn't want to talk nonsense with Qing Yao, nor did he want to fall into Qing Yao's delayed strategy. He had to solve the problem in Daliang Town quickly, otherwise he would be in trouble if the major issues were delayed.

Just as she was about to refuse negotiations, Fan Tongqing had already rushed over.

"Brother, I'll go and see what the hell is doing in Qing Yao."

"You guys are here to protect Mr. Fan."

Seeing this, Huang Si was afraid of an accident and hurriedly asked a few gunmen to follow him, so as not to have any accidents in Fan Tongqing.

The battalion soldiers on the opposite side did not show off. After Fan Tongqing ran over, the battalion soldiers spoke to him, and then saw Fan Tongqing running back quickly.

Huang Si was very surprised when he saw this: Is the talk over?

Before Fan Tongqing could take a breath, Huang Si hurriedly asked him: "What did Qing Yao say? Spend money to buy peace?" He thought that the Qing army in the town wanted to spend money to buy the Taiping army and not attack them, but Fan Tongqing shook his head and looked like a ghost: "No, Qing Yao said they were going to surrender."

"surrender?"

Huang Si was a little confused. He didn't fight, and the Qing army was about to surrender?

surrender?

The artillery team's flag was also stunned: Should this artillery be erected?

"You mean that the Qing Yao in the town is going to surrender to us?"

Huang Si confirmed to Fan Tongqing again with some concern that he had never seen the Qing army surrender before fighting in a battle. Even when he was fighting in Liangzi Township, the Qing army leader Ma Yulong surrendered after hearing the cannons. The Qing army in Xiangshan County was not as good as it was, but it had resisted half a stick of incense before giving up resistance. Why did the Qing army in Daliang Town surrender even if it didn't even fight?

The green camp in the town is too incredible, and Huang Si must not ignore it.

"Yes, Qing Yao wants to surrender to us!"

Fan Tongqing repeatedly confirmed that the Qing army was going to surrender was true, and he heard it correctly. The battalions told him clearly that their Lord Qianzong was going to surrender to the Taiping Army.

Whether it is true or false surrender, don’t mess with us to make a fake surrender, and then stab the knife in the back?

Huang Si was unsure of his mind and didn't know whether to believe the Qing army surrendered.

Fan Tongqing reminded: "Qing Yao is waiting for the letter. Should we accept surrender or not? Brother, you have to make an idea quickly."

"this..."

It was really hard for Huang Si. He went from being a servant in Xinhui County to becoming a guard chief of the Taiping Army for only ten months, but he did not go through such abnormal things. He was afraid that the Qing army would play tricks, and he was afraid that the other party would really surrender. After thinking about it, he still gritted his teeth and ordered Fan Tongqing: "You go and bring people here, I want to ask clearly!"

"good."

Fan Tongqing didn't say much, and turned around and went to bring people. After a while, the battalions came over under his leadership.
Chapter completed!
