Chapter 326: Conditional surrender

"Okay, the overall situation is now settled." Seeing that the battle situation became like this, Ye Tao put his hand on the railing of the command tower and said easily. "Now everyone is rushing together, it is not easy to hit the bombs... Immediately Issued an order to recall the airship team to replenish ammunition."

The staff officer on the command tower was recording that the two order flags and light boxes had already begun to work nervously. A small staff officer took advantage of Ye Tao's mood and asked for advice: "Sir, although we have so many troops, we are obviously fighting well."

Another staff officer smiled and said, "General Dai just asked me to count how many battalions are directly and indirectly connecting to the enemy at each moment. Although the heavy equipment battalion, Changbow Battalion, Scout Battalion, and Archery Battalion are not very much in the way of the enemy, and the airship team... But these troops are actually working hard at the same time. On the contrary, no matter how many people are, they are always the only people in front of the array to catch the enemy. In terms of the forces that are playing at the same time, I think we should have a great advantage in statistics. Besides, it is not just people. The heavy equipment battalion requires dozens of people to operate a crossbow. The role that can be played is probably even hundreds or thousands of people. "

Ye Tao smiled encouragingly and said, "Come on. Sooner or later, you young people will master and manage the army. The more thoroughly you study the army, the more relieved we old guys will be."

However, after Ye Tao finished speaking, everyone felt like rolling their eyes. Time went by. Although Ye Tao is still young and terrible in his ambitions, he is not the youngest group of people in the vibrant system of Yunzhou. The staff officers present were also very young, and the youngest was only seventeen years old. Ye Tao was indeed older, but he was not old enough to let him say such words as if the old qualifications in his forties and fifties were training successors.

The sound of thunder rumbling sound came over... After a long struggle, the heavy equipment camp finally avenged the revenge that could not be completed at the beginning. They threw many irritating bombs on the battlefield, many of which were deliberately not ignited or had bad landing postures. After such a long time of combat, they were all stuck on the ground, mixed with blood and soil, and the air was full of burning smell, and not many people noticed the smell of dense oil in the air. A irritating bomb exploded by chance, igniting the entire ground, and instantly rolling a piece of people in. Although there was one.

Several fighting infantry were accidentally swallowed up by the fire. However, the training the Yunzhou army, who had been playing with fire, was beyond the imagination of Xiling's army. The officers immediately ordered the team to withdraw and retreat together. Fortunately, because the Yunzhou army always maintained a very complete line in order to ensure its advantage, this retreat was possible. At this moment, the heavy equipment battalion, who saw the opportunity, despite its fatigue, even fired a series of irritating oil bombs faster than a few hours ago, with both ignited and non-ignited. In the air, the airship team was also excited to throw down irritating oil bombs at random, as if testing how big the fire could be.

"Oh... it's over..." Seeing this situation on the battlefield that neither side expected. Although the fire would not affect too much due to the large battlefield, the army would be in chaos and the damage caused by trampling on each other was too great. Especially, the battlefield is now surrounded by soldiers Xiling. Jiang Xujing shook his head as if he was accepting his fate, and said, "Ming Jin, the entire army retreated... Here, set up the truce flag and my commander flag." After that, Jiang Xujing slowly inserted the long sword in his hand back into the scabbard, grabbed the horse, and stood there.

"Master General..." The guards and adjutants around him were stunned. It doesn't matter if the entire army retreated for a while. This situation should be like this. Although the loss in rhythm and morale was heavy, it was not irreversible. But what Jiang Xujing meant now seemed to be that after the army retreated, he would discuss a truce with the other party in the middle of the battlefield. This was obviously preparing to surrender. In everyone's impression, Jiang Xujing had never been a person who was so pessimistic.

"No need to say anything. Let the boys be careful and pay attention to the escorts." Jiang Xujing shook his head again.

The Yunzhou army immediately saw the flag of truce. Then, from the command tower to the generals and officers from all sides issued orders to retreat a distance. No one seemed to suspect that Jiang Xujing was a stopgap and was preparing to continue fighting later. This kind of trust and respect for the opponent also made Jiang Xujing feel better.

After more than three hours of fighting, the bodies that had been thrown away were left in the ground. Do you want to end like this? However, the two armies basically returned to their position before the war started in the morning, and they were vacant to a distance of more than a thousand steps, and looked at each other from afar. Jiang Xujing didn't even bring many guards, only a dozen people accompanied him, standing under the extremely conspicuous flag in the middle of the battlefield.

After resting for about a quarter of the hour, Ye Tao rode his horse out of the Yunzhou army. He was surrounded by important commanders in this battle. Dai Shihuan, Dai Shijin, Tan Weiran, Chi Lei, Cheng Chi and even the Zhongjun camp that made everyone admire today, plus one or two guards from each other, more than a dozen people accompanied Ye Tao to the middle of the battlefield.

The two commanders, one old and one young, looked at each other. After a while, Ye Tao spoke first: "General Jiang, what do you mean, how to solve this matter now?" Ye Tao was not aggressive, but talked about this tragic war as if he was dealing with a document in his usual manner.

"I've surrendered." Jiang Xujing said frankly: "I lost this battle, and I'm convinced."

Ye Tao was about to say something, but Jiang Xujing continued to speak and went back. Jiang Xujing asked, "Justice Ye, can you promise to ensure the safety of our surrendered soldiers?"

"I have no tradition of killing prisoners in my direction. Please rest assured," Thinking that Jiang Xujing was concerned about this matter, it made sense. This time, Yunzhou attacked the Zhenbei Army Office and was always too active in capturing prisoners and killing fiercely. Ye Tao smiled: "When the supply pressure is relatively high, we do not prioritize capturing prisoners, but rather kill or defeat them. This is a matter of fact. Any sergeant who was surrendered on our side has been treated matching his position. Please rest assured."

Jiang Xujing smiled and said, "So, Zhengluo Ye, now you tell me, how do you think you are going to do this? You and I don't seem to be experienced in this regard."

That's true. Ye Tao thought for a moment and said, "Please announce this matter to your side, please repair it on the spot. We will send soldiers on both sides to observe. When the settlement is completed, please come to my camp and his party."

Jiang Xujing nodded and said, "It's so good." So he didn't say much, turned around and ran back towards his own military formation. About an hour after Ye Tao returned to the camp, Jiang Xujing came.

In this hour, Dai Shijin and Dai Shihuan, the most experienced officers, had already taught a popularization class for the surrender process to the young officers. Before this, everyone had already thought about the issue of food supply and had already sent out a Feiying news before the internal meeting, informing Yu Fuzhong and Suo Zheng who were waiting in Qingtian to regulate logistics supply to win the battle. Jiang Xujing led their troops to surrender. But at the same time, they also urged Suo Zheng to quickly transport a batch of grain and quickly adjust the ratio of supply and transportation in the rear, which could greatly reduce consumables such as sulphurs, arrows, etc.

In an hour, Yunzhou also quickly formulated various relevant terms. In this regard, they were really not prepared. Who would have thought that Jiang Xujing would surrender at this time? Jiang Xujing had the courage to gather 300,000 troops to fight the decisive battle, but surrendered just halfway through the loss. Although there were still doubts, for the time being, it was necessary to confirm that Jiang Xujing had no other intentions. When Jiang Xujing came to the central army camp of the Yunzhou army, he only brought two personal guards and all the generals. They placed the talisman of the army on the long table that had just been packed. Although everyone looked unpredictable, they didn't say anything. Jiang Xujing's ability to control the army was really extraordinary. Ni Sigui's army has been gathered now, with elite soldiers from Jiang Xujing's headquarters in the middle, one left and one right. Maybe it was meaningless and there was no way out. This part is very quiet now.

"General Jiang, do you have any other conditions now?" After sitting down facing each other, Dai Shihuan said, "You might as well say it now, we will consider it."

"It would be too ignorant to have the defeated generals who have some combat power to negotiate. If there is, it would be considered as having. Many of our generals and officials come from all over Xiling and belong to our troops. They want to go back." Jiang Xujing shrugged and said.

"Yes, as long as you have initial control over your existing army, generals, officers, non-commissioned officers and soldiers who want to return to Xiling can leave. We will send troops to monitor and ensure supplies until we enter Taizhou." Dai Shihuan nodded and agreed.

Jiang Xujing nodded and said, "That's it. Now I'm left you to deal with it."

Dai Shihuan smiled and said, "General Jiang, we have been in confrontation for many years and we know each other well. I will talk about our opinions on how to deal with it."

Yunzhou's disposal opinions are very simple. It is natural to hand over the weapons and then reorganize and repatriate step by step. There is nothing to say. It seems reasonable to ask Jiang Xujing to cooperate with the strongholds in the Zhenbei Army that are not under the control of the Yunzhou army. It seems that the towns are surrendered. Dai Shihuan proposed that the escort army should be dealt with separately. After the entire army is disbanded and reorganized, they will be quarantined for a period of time, which makes Jiang Xujing a headache. But Dai Shihuan also understood that he would not kill people casually, but if someone said nothing, at least it would be inevitable to be isolated and imprisoned. These escort soldiers were too fanatical. Even if tens of thousands of people are fighting only a little, they still had a bright eye. Under the surveillance of the sergeant soldiers of Jiang Xujing's headquarters, they were praying to the sky, saying that the gods would be like, and even saying that Ye Tao would be struck to death by thunder in a blink of an eye.

But everyone's idea is that now the Tianlei was created by the Ye Family Workshop. Obviously, Ye Tao's friendship with the gods is more strong than that of the grandsons of Emperor Daomingzong.
