In a small village more than ten miles southwest of the Ganshui River, Qin Yongzhi, the ragged Chief of Political Affairs, is leading a group of defeated soldiers to fight fiercely with the cavalry of the Desert Empire.
It can be said that the cavalry of the Desert Empire hated the Far Eastern Army that surrounded the village, and wanted to deal with it quickly.
However, this Far East Army was also extremely tenacious. Although they attacked the village several times, they were all repelled.
"The bones of these Far Easterners are really hard!"
Seeing that several attacks were repelled, the tenacious fighting spirit of the Far Eastern Army also made a leading general of the Desert Empire breathe fire in his eyes, and at the same time, he was also awed in his heart.
"My lord, do you want to continue the attack?"
A blood-stained officer of the Desert Empire stared at the dilapidated village and said murderously.
"We can't let the warriors pay unnecessary casualties." The leading general said.
Although the desert empire has a vast territory, most of the areas are uninhabited Gobi Desert and desert.
It is precisely because of the harsh natural conditions that restricted the development of the desert empire, and their strength was further enhanced until they captured the Red Sand Province in the Far East, the Wild Wolf River Valley and other places.
But in fact, their daily standing army is only more than 200,000, which is really not worth mentioning compared to the Far East, which has millions of troops.
This time, Ashinayun, the newly appointed emperor of the Desert Empire, was ambitiously expanding his army and preparing for war. Almost all adult males in the Desert Empire were recruited into the army.
Even so, they barely got together an army of 600,000 soldiers, and these soldiers were their precious wealth.
In order to wipe out a group of defeated soldiers in the Far East, their losses have been enough, so this general is not willing to continue to pay casualties to the soldiers under his command.
"Persuade them to surrender, let them lay down their weapons and surrender, we can spare their lives."
They suffered a loss in the hands of this Far East Army, and they threatened to retaliate, so they pursued all the way.
Now he has also experienced the strength of the opponent, and while admiring the opponent, in order to avoid greater casualties, the leading general of the Desert Empire decided to surrender.
Soon, soldiers from the Desert Empire shouted at Qin Yongzhi, who was in a tight siege, to put down their weapons and surrender.
"The capital of Daning Province has been breached by us, and it is only a matter of time before we occupy the entire Daning Province."
"No one is coming to rescue you, you have nowhere to go, put down your weapons and surrender, otherwise, once we break through the village, next year today will be your death day!"
The voices of the soldiers of the Desert Empire spread to the village, and the Far East soldiers who resisted in the village could also hear them clearly.
These Far East soldiers who resisted were also soldiers of the local security banner regiment that had been dispersed, and they were gathered together by Qin Yongzhi, the Chief of Government Affairs of Ganquan Mansion.
They delayed the desert empire's pursuit troops along the way, covered a large number of refugees fleeing eastward, fought several battles with the desert empire's army, and gained a lot.
Now they are indeed in a desperate situation, the surrounding area has fallen, and there are enemies everywhere.
Even if they can break out from this village now, they will probably be overtaken by the cavalry of the Desert Empire.
If it weren't for the firm will of Qin Yongzhi, the Chief of Ganquan Mansion, this defeated army would have collapsed long ago.
"Master Qin, what should we do now?"
General Gao Jie was also covered in scars, and after hearing the call from the desert empire outside, he also set his sights on Qin Yongzhi.
"We will break out after dark. As long as we cross the Ganshui River, we will be able to get rid of the pursuers."
Qin Yongzhi looked around and saw that the soldiers were all bruised and exhausted, but as an official of the empire, he was unwilling to surrender to the enemy unless he had to.
The soldiers of the Desert Empire shouted for a long time, but found that Qin Yongzhi and others trapped in the village did not respond at all.
Soon, they dragged the hundreds of terrified civilians they captured to the outside of the village and lined up.
"Put down your weapons and surrender, otherwise, we will kill all these people!" The soldiers of the Desert Empire threatened.
"These bastards!"
Seeing that the soldiers of the desert empire threatened the people, Gao Jie, the general of thousands in the village, couldn't help but cursed angrily.
Qin Yongzhi also never expected that the other party would pull the people out, which undoubtedly hit his weakness.
"My lord,Let's rush out and fight them! "The murderous Gao Jie said.
"How to fight, they have at least two thousand cavalry, we only have these few hundred people, we can't fight." Qin Yongzhi also looked solemn.
General Gao Jie said: "But you can't just watch them slaughter the common people, can you?"
"If you want to save those people, the only way to go is to surrender." After thinking for a while, Qin Yongzhi sighed.
"My lord, you can't surrender!"
Gao Jie knew very well in his heart that once they surrendered to the desert empire, there would be no turning back.
If the court finds out, they will be accused of treason and will never be able to stand up again.
"But if we don't surrender, those people outside will die!" Qin Yongzhi sternly said.
Gao Jie and the others are also from peasant families, so they have a natural sense of closeness to ordinary people.
So in their hearts, they also don't want those people to be decapitated because of them, so they are now in a tangle.
"What if they backtrack and we surrender, they won't let the people go?" Gao Jie said worriedly.
"The desert empire is sparsely populated and often plunders people across borders. As long as we put down our weapons and surrender, we will probably not harm those people." Qin Yongzhi analyzed.
"Brothers, I, Qin Yongzhi, hurt you, I'm sorry."
Seeing these blood-stained soldiers, Qin Yongzhi felt quite guilty.
He led them all the way to cover the people fleeing eastward, and finally he brought these soldiers to such a dangerous situation, and now they are facing the choice of life and death.
"My lord, please don't say that."
These soldiers were not interested in Qin Yongzhi at first, but they fought side by side along the way, and they also admired this seemingly frail chief executive.
"Brothers, put down your weapons and surrender. If you keep the green hills, you will not be afraid of running out of firewood. If we continue to resist, the people outside will not survive, and neither will we."
"Although laying down weapons to survive now will be looked down upon and reviled by others, but as long as we live, one day we will make a comeback and drive these enemies out of the country!" Qin Yongzhi said with firm eyes.
When Qin Yongzhi and the others fell into despair and prepared to surrender in exchange for the survival of the people, they didn't know that the Sixth Far East Field Army was close at hand on the banks of the Ganshui River more than ten miles east of them.
As long as they persist until dark, the scouts of the Sixth Far East Field Army will discover the battle here, and maybe they will send troops to rescue them.
However, Qin Yongzhi and the others don't know what's going on outside now. He just knows that Gandong Mansion on the other side of the Ganshui River doesn't have many troops.
They have no choice now, so in order to survive and for the people outside, surrender is the best choice.
"I am Qin Yongzhi, Chief of Government Affairs of Ganquan Mansion. As long as you ensure that the lives of the people outside and us are safe, we are willing to lay down our weapons and surrender. Otherwise, we will fight to the end!"
After persuading the soldiers of the Security Banner Regiment, Qin Yongzhi replied to the Desert Empire's persuasion to surrender.
"As long as you surrender, I can guarantee your safety."
Hearing that there was actually a senior official inside, the leading general of the Desert Empire was also very happy, and immediately agreed.
