    That night, Bai Zhou and the generals of the Western Qin Dynasty stayed up all night, discussing all aspects of the battle against Burgundy.

    "Okay, there should be no problem. Then everyone who has no tasks in the first stage can rest first, and those who have tasks can endure it." Bai Zhou clapped his hands and said to the others.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????Although the final results were not satisfactory every time, in the early stage of the confrontation between the two armies, Western Qin was still somewhat sure that it could narrow the gap in strength between the two sides.

    But no matter how you say it, this is a frustrating result.  Because when a person finds that he cannot get the results he wants no matter how hard he tries, the usual approach is that he gives up and continues to work hard.  But doing this would mean giving up hope completely.

    In the Battle of Guandu, no one thought that the final winner would be Cao Cao (except Guo Jia, Xun Yu and others), not even Cao Cao himself.  But in the end, this war about the throne of the northern king of Middle-earth completely changed with the intervention of a little man - Xu You.  If Cao Cao could not hold on even one day earlier, then needless to say, the history of China-Earth would have turned to another road.

    Man proposes, God disposes.  Although the final result of the sand table deduction on the Western Qin side is that the coalition forces were defeated or even retreated. After all, the opponent's strength was twice that of our own, but if we don't insist on fighting now, then hope will be cut off.

    Therefore, although Bai Zhou looks relaxed and speaks in a relaxed tone now, only he knows what the actual situation is.

    "Sir, I think this is inappropriate." The lieutenant rubbed his red eyes and said, "We just discussed it with them yesterday, but today we have to go around them directly. This doesn't make sense."

    "Little Lieutenant," among the generals in the Western Qin Dynasty, only Wei Fu and Meng Shan are qualified to call him this name. Wei Fu is a serious man, so of course he would not call his son this way, which means that he is old and ignorant.  Only the venerable Mengshan would be like this: "You are stupid because of reading, and you don't even look at what nonsense you talked about all afternoon yesterday. If they wait for them to discuss it, I guess the Burgundians won't even  Bern was defeated."

    Weifu squinted his eyes, glared at Mengshan, and said: "Although I agree to do this, we really need to inform our allies in advance, otherwise, our coalition will really be in vain."

    After all, if the troops of the tripartite coalition really no longer coordinate in unison, but start fighting each other, the final result will inevitably be defeated by the Burgundians one by one.

    "Leave this to me, so you don't have to worry about it." Bai Zhou looked at the disbelief on the others' faces and added, "Don't worry, I'm sure to convince them."

    In fact, it's no wonder that Wei Fu and others didn't believe it, because they had seen the scene yesterday. Although overall, everyone was relatively gentle, at least they didn't say anything bad to each other, but each of them was very stubborn in sticking to their position.  .

    Under such circumstances, it is difficult for everyone in Western Qin to imagine what method Bai Zhou would use to persuade Wolfgang, Frank, and Fein.  However, as the young master said, they don't need to worry about this matter.

    Three days later, there was a Burgundian army in the Belfort Mountains. It was very small, with only fifty or sixty people. Taking advantage of the darkness, it escaped from the spies arranged by the Western Qin Army, and reported the details of the fall of Belfort.  The news was informed to Duke John, who was not too far away.

    Originally, John thought that there were no more Burgundian troops in the entire Belfort area, but he did not expect that Claude could hold on to this point. In the heart of Archduke John, Claude was a talented person, loyal and useful.  Although he suffered several losses in front of Xi Qin this time, he thought that even he seemed to be tricked by the Duke of Switzerland, so he didn't hold Claude responsible very much.

    Furthermore, Duke John also understood that a thousand armies are easy to get but a general is hard to find. He also knew that there is no undefeated general in this world. Therefore, John ordered five thousand cavalry - this was all the Duke's cavalry, although Burgundy's  The terrain is quite conducive to raising horses, but after all, war horses are expensive items, and Burgundy's economic strength has also been depleted by years of war. In addition to the private armed forces of small and medium-sized nobles, these five thousand cavalry are the most expensive possessions of the Grand Duke -  - Rush to Belfort first, waiting for an opportunity to rescue or connect Claude and the other Burgundian soldiers who are still holding on.  If things get difficult, the very least that these cavalry should do is to contain some of the Western Qin soldiers and relieve the pressure on Claude.

    What Duke John didn't know was that on that day, the day this small force escaped from Belfort, almost all the Burgundian troops who did not carry enough food chose to surrender "honorably", and a few troops chose to break out.  , but except for the one with the smallest number, the other troops were starving.After such a long time, almost all the soldiers were in a hurry. After encountering the Western Qin army, they offered little resistance and chose to surrender.

    As for this lucky force, the people of Western Qin actually found that their opponent was so weak that they could not even make a symbolic attack to break through.  When they saw the defense line of the Western Qin troops - even if this defense line had been deliberately riddled with holes by the Western Qin soldiers - they directly chose to surrender.  Therefore, the Western Qin Army had no choice but to choose not to show up. Although it seemed that the intention of letting go was very obvious, the matter was at this point and this "lone seedling" could not be killed.

    However, there are still one or two Burgundian troops who choose to continue to stand on the mountain peak, including Claude and his bodyguards.  This is not to say that they carry more food than other troops, but that like Claude, the leader is more ruthless than others: Claude lets ordinary soldiers make fatal breakthroughs because he is the highest officer, plus  There were personal guards on board, so ordinary soldiers could only rush out and get meat to eat, and died one after another.

    The saved food, which can be said to be stained with blood, provides material support for Claude to continue to stay here.  At the same time, the Western Qin side never took the initiative to attack, which was the most important condition for them to still fly the Burgundian flag.

    In fact, Claude originally planned to hold on for two or three days and then surrender honorably. However, the result was that the Western Qin people did not take the initiative to attack, which made Claude sense a hint of conspiracy.  Although even if there is a conspiracy in Xi Qin, it is not something that he can take care of now, but after all, Claude himself is a guy who loves to play conspiracy. Now that he is aware of this situation, he has definitely not "broken into" the prisoner of war camp directly, and then  The principle of waiting for redemption honestly.  What's more, if he is aware of the conspiracy and passes it on to Duke John, this will be a great achievement, enough to offset this failure.  Therefore, he gave full play to his own "intelligence" and tried to keep him at the mountain peak for a few more days. For this reason, his original army of several hundred people now only has more than a hundred or even a handful of people left.  The arrows were also used by him for hunting.  He had calculated accurately that Xi Qin wanted to keep them and would not take the initiative to attack. In other words, Claude had already thought about it. If Xi Qin took the initiative to attack, then he would surrender neatly.
