    Give it to me!

    Don¡¯t be afraid, everyone, we have no way out now.

    As long as we capture this city, we will be able to obtain a large amount of supplies. By then, no one will have to worry about going hungry!

    And, we can also have a city ruled by us, which is better than wandering around!

    rush!  Rush!

    Your families, wives, and children are right behind.  For their sake, you must also use your courage to capture this city

    In an important town on the border of the Principality of Hungary, there is a huge crowd outside the Yafe Castle. Standing on the top of the city, you can see that there are densely packed human heads below.

    ??The faces of these enemies who attacked Yafei Fort were all stained, and it was obvious that they were the result of malnutrition.  Moreover, their clothes were very tattered, and most of the weapons they held were wooden sticks or pitchforks. Only a few of them held iron weapons in their hands.

    These enemies, who were as shabby as beggars, suddenly appeared around Yafei Fort at dusk three days ago, and then began to launch a fearless charge against Yafei Fort.

    Fortunately, the city defense of Yafei Fort was very strong, so it was not broken by the enemy's surprise attack.

    However, after three days of attack, the defenders of Fort Yafe gradually felt the pressure gradually increasing, and began to show signs of instability.

    Faced with this situation, the garrison commander of Fort Yafe, Viscount Stoke, was very panicked.

    He didn¡¯t know where these people came from and launched such a fierce attack on Yafei Fort.

    After three days of resistance, he roughly understood the number of enemies.

    Therefore, he couldn't help but feel waves of powerlessness in his heart.

    The number of these enemies is around 300,000, and most of them are old and weak.

    The number of adults who can fight with weapons is estimated to be between 70,000 and 80,000.

    But how many defenders are there at Yafei Castle?

    There are only more than 2,000 defenders in Yafei Castle.

    Now the entire Yabao has been completely surrounded, and they have no way to escape.

    And under three days of defense.  The defenders of Yafei Fort also paid the price of losing five to six hundred people before they could hold on to the fort.

    However, if the situation continues like this, then Viscount Stoke clearly foresees that it will be a matter of time before Yafei falls.

    With the little force he has in hand, it is impossible to hold on for too long.

    And looking at the crazy situation of the other side, after the fall of Yafei, it is estimated that none of the defenders will survive.

    After all, the enemy¡¯s three-day attack also killed many people.

    so.  The opponent must have accumulated a lot of hatred in his heart, so after the fall of Yafei, as the garrison commander here, his end will definitely be bad.

    Whenever he thinks about this problem, Stoker¡¯s head feels as uncomfortable as an explosion.

    He doesn¡¯t want to die, he wants to live.

    Although he is only a small viscount, he is a person with noble status after all.

    He doesn¡¯t dare to compare with those big nobles, but he also has a lot of land and servants in his hometown, and he also has a fianc¨¦e waiting for him.

    So, no matter what, he can't die here.  Otherwise, everything he has now will be in vain.  The land and farm ghost knows which guy it will be, and the fianc¨¦e will moan softly under the crotch of another man.

    Oh, no!

    When he thought of this, Stoker couldn't help but raise his hand and tear his hair fiercely.

    His fianc¨¦e.  She is a beauty known far and wide in her hometown.

    Originally, he could change defenses here in Yafei Castle after being stationed for a month, and then leave here and return to his hometown.

    It¡¯s that time.  He will marry his fianc¨¦e and live a leisurely life.

    But now everything is in vain, the war suddenly came to Yafei Castle.

    What is going on?

    Where did the enemy come from?  Why did they attack Yafei Fort?

    A series of questions kept echoing in Stoker's mind, but unfortunately no one could give him an answer.

    However, Stoker has no way to care about and struggle with this issue, because he has clearly seen the current situation. If he still can't think of a way, then after the fall of Yafei Castle, he will really have no way out.  .

    Now he has more than 1,300 soldiers left on his hands, including grooms and cooks.It's included.

    The number of enemies besieging the city numbered tens of thousands.

    It is said that he gained a lot of advantages by defending the city, but after all, he had too few troops.

    It is really impossible to defend Yafei Fort with more than a thousand people and prevent it from being conquered by tens of thousands of beggars.

    He used the few troops at hand to defend the enemy's high-intensity attack for three days, which is already very good.

    Of course, if it were earlier, Viscount Stoke would not have taken these people's attacks seriously.

    But, things are different now.

    Because the Hungarian Empire was involved in the war sweeping across Europe, the Archduke had already transferred 80% of his domestic troops to fight against Portugal and France.

    The remaining 20% ??of the troops are scattered in various strongholds, fortresses and cities in the country.

    Therefore, after Yafei Castle was attacked, it was impossible to get support from other places.

    Now, everything can only be solved by himself.

    With no reinforcements and tens of thousands of people under siege, the number of troops on hand continues to decrease.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡­

    However, the control of the battle is not in his hands now.

    Therefore, he really felt helpless and tired about this situation.

    ¡°Perhaps, I should offer Yafei Castle to try to win the other party to give me a way to survive.

    Thinking about it, for the sake of showing up at Yafei Castle, the enemy shouldn't embarrass yourself too much.

    "Besides, I am still a nobleman. As a nobleman, if I voluntarily surrender and donate Yafei Castle, I can spend money to redeem myself.

    Therefore, there is no need to wait for death here.

    People are selfish. As a nobleman, Stoker has such thoughts.

    Yafei Castle is not his, so he has nothing to lose by dedicating it.

    The worst case scenario is to spend some money to redeem yourself.

    Rather than giving up your life.  It's worth spending money to save your life.

    For these, Stoke is very open-minded.

    ¡°This man, if he dies and the money is not spent, that will be the most painful.

    ??Especially when he has a lovely fianc¨¦e, whom he has not tasted yet.

    ¡°If he becomes mentally retarded and insists on coexisting with Yafei Castle here, then everything in his hometown will become someone else¡¯s.

    And what will he get?

    Nothing is gained.

    So, in such a situation, Stoke would make such a choice.

    But if you think about it carefully, his decision and thoughts.  There doesn't seem to be anything wrong.

    However, Stoker forgot one thing, that is, once Yafe Castle falls, those who occupy it will be able to easily reach the capital of the Principality of Hungary without encountering obstacles along the way.

    The location of the Alfion Castle is very important. It can be said to be the southern barrier of the capital of the Principality of Hungary.

    As long as this place does not fall, the capital will not be in danger.

    But once Yafei Castle falls, the capital will no longer be safe.

    But given the current situation, Stoke was only thinking about how to save his own life.  As for other things, he really didn't bother to think about it.

    As the saying goes, a dead Taoist friend is not a poor Taoist. As long as he can live, the safety of the capital has a few coppers to do with him.

    If there were reinforcements, Stoke would not think so, but precisely because there would be no reinforcements.  And it was impossible for him to get a little help from the outside world, so he came up with this idea.

    If there were other ways, Stoke would not be willing to make such a decision.

    But who allowed 80% of the military power of the Principality of Hungary to be taken away by the Duke.  Going to participate in a bullshit holy war.

    Now that the decision had been made, Viscount Stoke left the room and came to the city.

    At this time, a wave of enemy attacks had just been repelled.  The defenders at the top of the city sat twisted on the ground, breathing heavily. Their faces were covered in blood, and it was unclear whether it was their own or the enemy's. In short, they looked so terrifying.

    The injured soldiers lay there moaning in pain. Many soldiers trotted to carry their injured companions down to the top of the city for treatment.

    Black smoke billowed under the city, and the acrid smell of smoke filled the air, making people very uncomfortable.

      There were dead bodies everywhere on the city wall, both from the defenders and from the enemy.

    Some enemies are not completely out of smoke. At this time, the defenders will find them and give them the final blow.

    No one can stop this practice. After all, no one will comply with rescuing injured enemies even in the 21st century.

    The usual approach is very simple, that is to kill the enemy's wounded soldiers.

    Therefore, in this era of the seventeenth century, everyone was accustomed to this practice.

    One by one, enemy corpses were thrown from the top of the city and fell heavily to the bottom of the city. Bursts of dull sounds sounded, which sounded so panic-stricken.

    "Lord Viscount, we cannot defend it if this continues. We lost more than 300 soldiers due to the enemy's attack just now, and now our strength is completely insufficient."

    When Viscount Stoke walked to the top of the city, a knight who was responsible for commanding at the top of the city immediately came over and said to the Viscount with a worried face.

    Of course Stoke knew that this would not work. There was no need to remind him. He was not a fool.

    However, the loss of 300 troops here still made Stoker's heart tremble.

    "Yes, if this continues, it will be a matter of time before the opponent breaks through Yafei. By then, no one will be able to survive. They will definitely be beheaded by the enemy, or hang alive from a tree branch outside the city."

    Stoker is not an alarmist, such a thing is very likely to happen.

    "Lord Viscount, what should we do now? Should we organize forces to break out of the encirclement?"

    Stork shook his head and thought: Breakout?  How is that possible? You don't even look at how many enemies are surrounding the city.  With just a few people like us, there is no way we can break out.

    However, he could only think these words in his heart and could not say them out loud.

    But now that the knight has asked, Stoke made his decision known.

    "I think it's time to talk to the other party. For all of us, surrendering is a good way out, isn't it" (To be continued)
