    "I, Tox, the supreme commander of the Yafe Castle, hold the title of baron in the Dangle area and belong to the Archduke of Hungary."

    Although he felt quite uneasy and uneasy in his heart, Stoker still wanted to take a gamble.

    And he felt that the enemies besieging Fort Yafei were not willing to let their soldiers continue to suffer unnecessary losses.

    So, if you surrender, the other party can still get Yafei Castle, and you don¡¯t have to suffer any more casualties.  This matter is very beneficial to them.

    As long as the enemy commander is not a fool, he should know what to choose.

    Of course, this is just his own wishful thinking. As for the actual situation, Stoke dare not guarantee it.

    ????????????????????????? If the enemies who besiege Yafei Castle are all mobs or something, then they will not think of this, and even abide by the rules of war between European nobles.

    ? ? And this is exactly what Stoke is worried about.

    The rebel army looked like an army of beggars, all of them dressed in rags.

    And because of the lack of weapons, many soldiers still held wooden sticks or dung forks in their hands.

    With such an army, Stoker would not think so.

    ¡°If the number of rebels was smaller, even if there were only 100,000 people, Stoker would not have the idea of ????surrendering.

    After all, in a shabby army of 100,000 people, there are only more than 10,000 people capable of fighting.

    There are more than 2,000 defenders in Yafei Castle, and the city defense is very strong.

    Facing an attack of more than 20,000 people, there is no problem at all.

    But the problem is that the number of enemies currently besieging Yafei Fort is far more than 100,000.

    And this army, which looks like it is made up of beggars, has as many as 70,000 to 80,000 soldiers.

    At the same time, the fighting style of this army was very clumsy. They were divided into several legions and took turns to attack Yafei Fort.  The defenders were not given a chance to rest at all.

    Therefore, it has only been three days, and Stoke and the others have already been tortured beyond endurance.

    Although they have a solid city defense system to rely on, they cannot rest and have to resist the enemy's attacks and harassment.

    Even if there is no physical harm, the mental torture is terrible.

    Not to mention that in these three days, the number of defenders has been reduced by one-third, and it is obvious that the soldiers have begun to collapse.

    According to the current situation and environment, Yafei Fort is absolutely undefendable.

    Since this is the case, why not find a way out for yourself.

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? others wait until these people break through the Yafei Fort, and they, the defenders, will resist to the end.  All will be hanged by the other party.

    So, now is a good time to talk about surrender.

    The attackers also lost a lot of people and wasted three days in Yafei Fort.

    Although the number of troops on our side has been reduced, we still have the strength to continue fighting.

    Even though the opponent will break through the garrisoned Yafei Fort sooner or later, the difference between earlier and later is still very big.

    Once you master this point, your side will still have some initiative during negotiations.

    As long as the other party still cares about the lives of its soldiers and that it can capture Yafei Castle earlier, then the other party should accept its proposal.

    This way.  Stoker has already thought clearly.

    Soon, he and the four guards came to Siwex, and announced their names and identities with what they thought was a very elegant etiquette and smile.

    ????????????????????????????? Haha, he is still a noble.

    Siwicks smiled.  But it can be seen from the expression on his face that he is not interested in nobles at all.

    Yes, in fact, not only him, but everyone in the rebel army has no good impression of the nobles.

    To know.  They started the Ottoman uprising because they were bullied intolerably by the local Ottoman nobles.

    so.  Baron Stoke's identity was of no use to Siwicks and the others.

    Siwicks¡¯ little reaction was captured by Stoke in an instant.

    At that time, his heart felt cold.

    ¡°Mom, as expected, I met those legendary people who are not interested in nobles.

    ???????????????? I heard that a mob killed a nobleman. I thought this matter was still far away from me. I couldn¡¯t think of letting me do it now.Arrived.

    No, I have to act according to my own circumstances, and I must not hate these people and give them an excuse to kill me.  I must survive and return to my hometown to see my fianc¨¦e.

    Fortunately, Stoker is not that kind of rigid aristocrat. This little aristocrat from the countryside also has some advantages.

    If you put it in the East, it is called being able to bend and stretch.

    "I don't know what you are here for? Our two sides are still at war. Although I know some rules about war, you have to know that we are not bullshit nobles, so we don't want to abide by them."

    Although Siwicks guessed the other party¡¯s intention, he still deliberately frightened him.

    Sure enough, Stoker was frightened.

    The small nobles in Hungary do not have the pride and stubbornness of other nobles, but they have the same tact and cunning as the country folk.

    Stoker quickly saluted respectfully and spoke a series of compliments.

    "Dear Sir, although you and I are still at war, I don't think you will refuse a person who comes with good intentions, right? I have brought a proposal here that will prevent both of us from seeing the soldiers.  Casualties."

    Siwicks kept a faint smile on his face and said softly: "Oh, what kind of proposal do you bring that can achieve this?"

    Acting stupid!

    "I have made it so clear, don't you understand?"

    It must be like this, this guy is playing dumb with himself.

    Hearing what Siwicks said, Stoker secretly complained in his heart.

    However, he did not dare to express any dissatisfaction now. After all, he himself was in the enemy's camp.

    In other words, life and death are a matter of words.

    So, he can¡¯t make himself uncomfortable.

    Only fools and idiots would do this.

    This little nobleman from the Hungarian countryside is not that kind of idiot nobleman.

    So, he would not do such a thing.

    "We at Yafei Fort are ready to surrender to you, but we just don't know if our lives and property will be guaranteed after the surrender? After all. We don't want to continue fighting, and you can get it as soon as possible without having to bear the deaths of soldiers.  Yafei, isn¡¯t it?¡±

    Siwicks felt excited in his heart, but you couldn't see it on his face.

    As expected, he came to surrender.

    However, the other party wants to give a guarantee to those who surrender. At the same time, they also require that their property be protected and not invaded.

    In fact, the last point made by Stoker is entirely due to his selfish motives.

    The soldiers at the bottom have a little money, so it¡¯s good to be able to save their lives.

    When it comes to property, of course Stoker as the commander has the most.

    A small nobleman from the countryside.  Since becoming the commander of Yafei Fort, he has been plundering local wealth.

    So, in just over a year, he made a lot of money.

    Of course, all this money comes from corruption.

    But letting him throw it away like this still made him feel a little distressed.

    "Do you really want to surrender?"

    Siwex asked a question, while he quickly weighed it in his mind.

    To be honest, if the other party surrenders, ensuring their lives is not a problem.  As for property.  It's not impossible.

    It¡¯s just that you can¡¯t agree too quickly, otherwise the other party will know that you really want this result.  Then will the other party make some trouble?

    Therefore, I cannot appear so urgent.

    As long as you are not in a hurry, the other party will be the one who is in a hurry.

    "Really, really. We really surrendered and don't want to continue fighting." Siwicks was heard asking.  Baron Stoke nodded in response.

    ¡°Hmm¡­ Siwicks pretended to be pretentious, with a somewhat reluctant look on his face.

    Looking at his pretentious performance, Baron Stoke's little heart started beating faster and faster.

    "You should know that you don't have many chips in your hands now. We will be able to capture Yafei Castle in three days at the latest. Even if you don't surrender, the result will be the same. So don't you think your surrender means a lot to me?  Any leftover?"

    I¡¯ll wipe it!

    Baron Stoke cursed in his mind.

    ExactlyHow cruel!

    Don¡¯t you know that accepting my proposal will be beneficial to you?

    ¡°At least, you can save thousands of soldiers from losing.

    Of course, as a superior, no one will care about soldiers.

    "If it weren't for the fact that Yafei Castle couldn't be defended at all, Baron Stoke wouldn't have surrendered. He could have let the defenders fight to the death.

    "We can talk about it. The conditions I proposed can be lowered"

    Stoker looked at Siwicks carefully and suggested more respectfully.

    hey-hey!

    Siwicks laughed secretly in his heart. As he had guessed, if he didn't show he didn't care at all, the other party would be the one who was anxious.

    So, now the initiative is completely in your own hands, and you are not bound to comply with the other party's conditions.

    So, is it okay to disagree with the retention of property?

    Siwicks thought to himself.

    The rebels are also short of goods now. There must be a lot of wealth in Yafei Fort. If they can get the wealth in Yafei Fort, they will be much richer by then.

    ¡°At least, I can buy more supplies with that young man.

    Even after the other party sees that they have money on hand, they will expand the size of the transaction.

    Well, from this point of view, the other party cannot agree to this condition.

    "Hand over Fort Yafei, I guarantee that your lives will not be threatened, but all the property must be kept. You know, if we attack Fort Yafei, these properties will all be ours!"

    Siwicks gave an answer that made Baron Stoker's heart feel cold (To be continued)
