"The Commander, it's no point in continuing to fight. This is almost a unilateral massacre, and all our soldiers will be killed! They have been fighting for ten hours. And we have been holding on for three days before. We deserve the honor of the soldiers, but now, it's time for the Commander to give up!"

None of the Vietnamese under his command can see now, and they don’t know if they have died or run away. All the people who are still fighting are the heroic sons of France and foreign corps from Africa. Looking at these brave young men, Bishuo believes that he has the obligation to bring them home, rather than just dying in a foreign country without any sense of death.

Since failure is inevitable, then... why not try to let more people survive...

"Stop fighting...we surrender!"

Liu Shaoqing was still trying his best to persuade his father. Indeed, if the losses of his soldiers could be reduced, Liu Yongfu would be willing to try to persuade the enemy to surrender. After all, the pension would also cost a lot of money. However, he had never communicated face to face with the French commander, and he really didn't know how to take this step.

After hesitating, the French army opposite had already raised a white flag.

"Damn, did you really surrender?"

Ten minutes later, the French army, who had already put down their weapons, walked out of the city gate in a sequel.

When Bishuo stood in front of Liu Yongfu, the veteran who had fought for France for twenty years finally lowered his proud head in front of a race other than white people for the first time.

"I want to know that I was defeated by that general."

At this time, an embarrassing scene appeared.

The Black Flag Army was all rough and not even known Chinese characters, let alone French. And the French would not be able to bring Chinese translators to Vietnam's territory.

The result was good, and no one on both sides understood what the other party was saying.

It was Liu Shaoqing who had a sudden inspiration. "Go and find two Vietnamese people who understand Chinese and French!"

So, the first exchange between the Black Flag Army and the French Army was completed in Vietnamese through two Vietnamese people.

Bishuo finally handed the stacked French military flag and his command knife to Liu Yongfu with both hands. He said with a sour voice: "My failure is not that my soldiers are not brave enough, nor that my command is not correct enough. My failure is that my troops are far less than you. If I give me two thousand infantry, then I believe that Taiyuan will not be captured by you."

After listening to the retelling of the Vietnamese translator, Liu Yongfu curled his lips. He was stubborn and lost, but he was still unwilling to accept it. Liu Yongfu was about to show his generosity, but he didn't expect that his son next to him spoke first.

"Mr. Bishuo, your failure is not due to insufficient troops. In fact, when your invading army set foot on China's territory, you should know that you will face 40 million Chinese people. So, don't say that you will give you another 20,000 soldiers, even if you give you another 20,000 soldiers, Taiyuan, or Tokyo, it will not be occupied by you forever!"

He was wondering why the child around the Chinese general would speak at this time, but after listening to the translation and retelling, he finally realized that it was not him who made the mistake, nor was it Li Weiye, Boswa or Courbet, but the domestic politicians.

"I am convinced that the Chinese general is defeated by your hands!"

The resources obtained from capturing Taiyuan were far more than Liu Yongfu had expected before. This included two thousand rifles obtained by the dismissal army, tens of thousands of stones of food, hundreds of thousands of bullets and thousands of shells of various caliber - under normal circumstances, these ammunition was enough to support Bishuo's troops to fight for a month.

This made Liu Yongfu feel a little regretful that he did not take down SX at the beginning. In fact, SX's material reserves are far less than that of Taiyuan. On the one hand, the reason is that SX is close to Honghe, and the supply is more convenient, so there is no need to store too much material. On the other hand, it is also because the French army originally planned to rely on Taiyuan to attack Xuanguang and Xinghua, so the material reserves are much higher than SX, but now they are cheaper than Black Flag Army.

Liu Shaoqing hurriedly came in from outside the door. Liu Yongfu was worried about how to transport the supplies away. When he saw his precious son coming, he hurriedly said, "Qing'er, you are here just right. Come and take a look. This is the list of materials seized from Taiyuan."

While saying that, he handed over a list. "Hey, what I am worried about my father is how to transport these treasures away. You know, we don't have much time, but we can't find enough big cars in the city now."

The French army's supplies were not transported in one day, and most of the food was not transported by the French army, but were originally reserved by the Taiyuan official warehouse and the wealthy families.

Liu Shaoqing subconsciously took the order, but put it aside without looking at it. "Father, the child is here to tell you about this."

Liu Yongfu said happily: "Oh, my son already has a solution?"

Liu Shaoqing said: "Father, the child has also made a temporary decision. In fact, we can not leave Taiyuan now."

"Oh, what do you mean?" It is of course the best not to leave Taiyuan. After all, no one wants to burrow around in the mountains and forests every day.

"That's it..." Liu Shaoqing began to tell his father some of his thoughts. "We now have this batch of arms, and in terms of overall firepower, it is not far from the French army. Even if we don't get supplies for a while, it will be no problem to last for at least ten days and half a month. The most important thing is that the child was most worried about the heavy artillery of the French army. But now we have these hundreds of French prisoners in our hands, but we can no longer be afraid of Poriet's artillery."

Liu Yongfu didn't react at once: "Why?"

"Father thinks, before the battle starts, let's wave these hundreds of prisoners to the top of the city. Will the Poliye still dare to fire at his own people?"

Liu Yongfu didn't understand even more: "Why don't you dare?" In his concept, it is natural to sacrifice some prisoners or even civilians as long as they win the war. Not to mention hundreds, even thousands of prisoners were placed on the top of the city, he still shot his mother.

Liu Shaoqing probably knew his father's thoughts, so he explained: "Father, the French are no less populous than us. They are also a parliamentary country. If he dares to order fire at the prisoners in this wave, then he may not necessarily win this battle. Even if he conquers BJ City and captures the emperor alive, he will still be judged when he returns to the country. The families of the captives who were bombarded will not let him go, and he will be skinned even if he does not die!"

However, it is obvious that Liu Yongfu could not understand France's national conditions for a while, and Liu Shaoqing also couldn't explain it clearly, "In short, as long as my father believed that Poliye could not fire at the prisoners. In addition, we can still gain many unexpected benefits with these prisoners."

Well, since you can't figure it out, don't think about it. In short, Liu Yongfu is not required to leave Taiyuan. As for other things, I'll talk about it later.

At about two o'clock the next afternoon, Poliye led his army to the city of Taiyuan. At this time, the flying seven-star black flag on the top of the city was greeted by the flying seven-star black flag and hundreds of French soldiers with their hands tied back.

"Mr. Bishuo, you see, the current situation is that General Poliye leads this army to attack us. Of course, we are peace-loving and do not want to fight with Mr. Poliye. And you have also seen that if Mr. Poliye attacks us with cannons, you will blow up your captured soldiers without any accident. And they did not need to die. In other words, if Poliye launches an attack on Taiyuan, then the first thing he kills is his own soldiers. You should understand this principle, right?"

Looking at the situation in front of him, even if this Chinese boy didn't explain, Bishuo probably knew what was going to happen.

"Well, what do you need me to do?"

Liu Shaoqing clapped his hands, "Mr. Bishuo is indeed a smart person. I just want you to explain the situation in the city to General Poliye to avoid misunderstandings and causing unnecessary sacrifices. As for how to choose, it depends on General Poliye himself."

"You promised to keep us safe!"

"Of course, of course, we have made promises, and we will definitely keep our promises. But Mr. Bishuo, it is not us who threatens your personal safety now, but General Poliye outside the city. You also know that guns and cannons have no eyes. You want us to ensure your safety while being attacked by your army's artillery fire. Don't you think this is a bit difficult? You know, when General Poliye began to bombard Taiyuan, we couldn't even guarantee our own safety. What's more, you?"

Through the translation, he understood the intention of the Chinese, and Bishuo could not help but agree to this job. After all, he had to consider the lives of the soldiers who had surrendered.

"Oh, I forgot to remind you, Mr. Bishuo. Given that you are our 'Vice Guest', in order to ensure you will come back again, I have to remind you that if I could not see you standing in front of me before sunset, I would have executed a hundred prisoners on the top of the city."

Looking at Bishuo who turned and left, Liu Shaoqing signaled to the translator to repeat the words just now in French, and he wanted to confirm that every French soldier could hear them.

Lao Bishuo was so shameless that he was so angry that he was so angry that he was so angry that he was so angry that he was so angry that he was so angry that he was so angry that he was so angry that he was so angry that he was so angry that he was so angry that he was so angry that he was so angry that he was so angry that he was so angry that he was so angry that he was so angry that he was so angry that he was so angry that he was so angry that he was so angry that he was so angry that he was so angry that he was

Looking at the French soldiers tied to the top of Taiyuan City, Poliye cursed Bishuo in annoyance, hating him for why he didn't hold on for a day. At this moment, the city gate in the distance opened wide, and a figure walked out. Who else could it be if it weren't Bishuo who had been cursed by him in his heart for thousands of times?

"Why did you surrender? Why don't you hold on for a day?" As soon as we met, Poriye's first sentence was to ask questions.

Bishuo first saluted Major General Poliye with a demeanor, and then said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Major General. I don't think there is anything wrong with my soldiers and I choosing to surrender. Before you arrived, we had been besieged by the enemy's seven thousand soldiers for three days. Later on the fourth day, the enemy's reinforcements arrived, and then the enemy launched an attack at night. They had more than 10,000 people, and artillery and machine guns. The enemy attacked ten hours from 7:10 in the evening. My soldiers were exhausted, and they had fulfilled their obligations as a soldier and defended the honor of a soldier. However, the purpose of our coming here was not to die, so we chose to surrender. May I ask, what's wrong with this?"

After saying this long passage, Bishuo waited for Poliye to speak and asked again: "On the contrary, I sent you the information on the first day of being attacked by the enemy, and your reinforcements were late even after the enemy's reinforcements. I can take the liberty to ask, these five days are enough for a round trip between Beining and Taiyuan. So, what are you doing in such a long time?"

‘Hu~’ Maybe it was because he was questioned by Bishuo, or maybe it was because he was convinced by Bishuo’s reason. In short, Poriye’s attitude became much more relaxed.

"After I got your help signal, I asked Hanoi for the action plan. You know, because we were ambushed by the Chinese outside SX City, we had to do it carefully. Therefore, Lieutenant General Mile ordered me to join General Nigri's second brigade and set out to Taiyuan for rescue with superior forces to avoid the danger of being divided and encircled and annihilated. It is precisely because of this that we have been delaying two days."

Bishuo nodded, "I accept your explanation, but please understand our behavior."

Poriye shrugged helplessly. "Okay, but, what is your purpose now?"

Bishuo said: "The Chinese in the city asked me to ask the general, you should not attack. The reason is very simple. They are threatening the lives of our captured soldiers."

Poliye spat hatefully: "Cunning Chinese! They will definitely pay the price for their despicable behavior!"

After venting his emotions for a little while, Poliye looked at Bishuo again. "Mr. Colonel, at present, I can only ask your soldiers to feel wronged first. The negotiations with the Chinese court are being arranged in China. I will report the situation here to the country. I believe that the country will find a way to rescue you."

Indeed, as Liu Shaoqing said, after seeing the French soldiers on the top of the city, Poliye could not have ordered the firing of artillery in Taiyuan City. He was unwilling to bear the title of "executioner".

Bishuo had already accomplished his purpose for this trip, so he put on his hat again and saluted Poriye. "Thank you for your magnanimity, then, I will say goodbye first."

"You are..."

Bishuo smiled bitterly, "There's no way, you know, I have to go back, otherwise, they will kill a hundred prisoners."
