Chapter 258 Surrender

I thought that if I went ashore, I could escape from the siege of those sailors. I didn't expect that even the shore had been ambushed in advance.

With a fire, the officers and soldiers were completely stunned. There were so many fires, and there were fallen soldiers everywhere. I only saw black smoke in the grass opposite, which was the traces after the launch of the fire.

"Boom, boom, boom." The cannon also began to attack. Compared with the God of War cannon, a great advantage of the cannon is that it is easy to move. A team of four people can move the cannon from the warship to the land.

The rain of bullets not only covered the officers and soldiers who had already landed, but also the officers and soldiers who had not come down on the ship were also the target of their attack.

Because the shore is not very wide, in the process of landing just now, we had to keep driving away the empty warships so that the soldiers on the rear warship could dise. In this way, the dock was already very chaotic. The sudden blow had plunged everyone into panic, and the ship behind wanted to lean up. The ship that had reached the shore wanted to leave as soon as possible to avoid the blow. From time to time, the ship collided with each other, causing greater panic.

And for the soldiers who have already landed, they feel even more desperate. Going forward is a fire net that can never be rushed through. Is it a warship that has left the shore and dodge nearby? It is even more impossible that on this shore, there are empty fields everywhere, and there is nowhere to hide.

The sound of firearms came one after another, playing the horn of the death of the officers and soldiers. They were slaughtered on the shore in large areas. The scene was extremely tragic. Countless officers and soldiers fell to the ground, and the blood stained the shore red, converged into a stream and flowed into the lake.

"Stop shooting." Yang Dong ordered. He had seen that there were not many officers and soldiers standing, and they had raised white flags.

This is a big victory! With more than 2,000 soldiers, they sniped twice as much as the officers and soldiers who landed ashore, and destroyed most of them and captured some of them. The significance of this victory was more far-reaching. When the officers and soldiers attacked, they gave them a head-on attack and consumed the other party's living strength, laying a solid foundation for greater victory in the future.

Han Yong was very lucky. He had not yet pedaled ashore and did not fall into the trap of the other party. He led the remaining 2,000 people and left the shore. However, he was also very unfortunate, because he had no way to go.

If you can't drive a boat, you can't get out, and you will be killed if you want to go ashore. The remaining two thousand people have low morale and don't know where the way out is. Many of them are already thinking about it. If not, just surrender. The other party has such advanced weapons and such a brave generals. This encirclement of Gaoyou Mansion will definitely not occupy anything. It's so cheap. It's better to surrender than to be trapped here.

The surrendered officers and soldiers stood in an empty place in Fan Shuizhai. They looked at an officer standing on the high platform with a little trembling, surrounded by soldiers with live ammunition. If the officer opened his mouth, I'm afraid that all of them would be buried here.

Yang Dong looked at the prisoners below and had a very desolate feeling. They were born from the same root, so they were in a hurry to fry each other! They are all Han people. Why do they work for the Mongols?

"Brothers." Yang Dong said.

He calls us brothers? The officers and soldiers below immediately talked about it. Isn't it the opposite?

Yang Dong pressed his hand and immediately calmed down at the scene: "Your biggest mistake is that you should not work for the tars. You are also Han Chinese. You are bullied by the Mongols, but you work for them. This is an extremely wrong choice!"

Looking at the officers and soldiers who have lowered their heads below, Yang Dong knew that many times, joining the army was not their original intention. They just wanted to live. When they joined the army, someone could manage the food and starve to death. Sometimes, the reason was so simple. The real heinous and vicious, relying on the tars to support, be dominious, and bully their own people, are only a minority.

"Now, it's not too late to correct this mistake. If you are willing to go home, everyone can receive 500 yuan of travel expenses and two days of dry food. If you are willing to stay here, we also welcome it. Our policy remains unchanged. As long as you settle in the village, everyone can get five mu of land. If you move with your family. Come here, also according to this standard. Yang Dong said.

Regarding how to deal with the Han prisoners of war, Zhang Yang has made a rule that as long as he is not a villain, he can let go of it. He can send out severance pay and let them return to his hometown. He can also use five mu of land to attract them to the area under his rule. After all, these are all strong laborers. They are scattered in various villages, and it will not become a climate. However, if they want to join their own army, they should be careful. They should treat people with skills, and after investigation, they can only join, so as to avoid the relapse of the last Gaoyoufu prisoner turbulence.

It's not so simple to treat Mongolian prisoners of war. Mongolian prisoners of war must be taken care of and let them engage in mining and other labor. If the high-ranking Mongolians give them the same treatment as the Han prisoners of war, they may look down on the rebels, and all kinds of turmoil will emerge one after another. After several years, after removing the psychology of their superior rulers, they can consider relaxing their care.

I heard that there are five mu of land to cultivate, and almost all the prisoners are boiling. They are soldiers because they can have food to eat, military pay, and soldiers, they have to bleed. They only have this life in exchange for food. Now, they can farm, and they prefer that kind of life.

A few people chose to go home, and most of them decided to stay and wait for the land to be distributed, so they could cultivate at ease.

Yang Dong sent a hundred-man team to escort this part of the prisoners to settle down in a nearby place, and sent someone to report the battle here to General Bian. His main idea was to put the remnants of the officers and soldiers who were still in the lake.

According to his estimate, the remaining officers and troops will not exceed 2,000 people. How to prevent these 2,000 people from escaping is still a serious problem.

With this battle, they are afraid. If they don't surrender, they can only choose to escape somewhere else. Although only this place is the most suitable place for large ships to land, the officers and soldiers are not stupid people, and there are not many people left. They can escape in small boats in batches and block all such a large lake. There are not many troops at all. On the contrary, after dispersing, it is impossible to concentrate the troops. At that time, if all the officers and troops rush out of one place, they will easily get out of the encirclement.

If only there were cavalry! The navy is equipped with warships and not equipped with cavalry. If you want to besiege such a large lake, the best way is to send sententials to defend. When you find that there are officers and soldiers landing in small boats, they will shoot warnings. At that time, the cavalry will attack quickly, and they will be able to kill the tired officers and soldiers who have just landed.

Yang Dong thought for a long time, and a smile appeared in his eyes. Although the manpower was not enough to prevent the officers and soldiers from breaking through from other places, he sent a person there at a distance and occasionally fired a shot. For those officers and soldiers who were not sure, this effect should be better.

"Order, five hundred-person teams to disperse and surround the lake, and shoot every half an hour." Yang Dong and the messenger said.

"General Yang, five hundred-person teams, if the officers and soldiers rush over, they can't stop it. Why don't you send more people?"

Yang Dong looked at the messenger soldier. Like himself, he had been following General Bian from the beginning, but he didn't use his brain, so up to now, he is just the head of the messenger soldier.

"Go ahead, I have my own plan." Yang Dong said.

"First go to the island in the middle, take a break, and then take a long-term plan." Han Yong said to the people around him. After a few days of shaking on the boat, they suffered such a blow. Everyone was listless and uncomfortable wandering around on the boat. The island in the center of the lake should still be safe.

"General, our ship is so big that we can't rely on it." A soldier said.

"Is the ship big?" Han Yong looked at the lonely boats around the big boat and said, "Aren't we going to get off the big boat and take the boat?"

Suddenly, a light flashed in Han Yong's mind. Yes, there is a way!

I don't want to be locked on this lake and beaten everywhere. I want to escape, but I failed twice. These are all caused by my own boat. Although the exit has been blocked, the front ships sank, and Li Zhong did not know whether he was alive or dead. The big ship did not dare to rush out again, because the big ship was afraid of sinking at the bottom, but the small boat was no problem. Moreover, when the boat was small, it was more flexible, and there was a great opportunity to take advantage of it.

However, it is not a good idea to take the waterway. You need a water army and a strong water army to block the west of Gaoyou Mansion. However, now it seems that this task is impossible. Even if it highlights the encirclement, it is a small boat. It can't compete with the navy that besieging itself, and it can't be done at all. Take on the task of blocking.

If you don't take the waterway, you will still break out of the shore, take the remaining soldiers out, and meet with Master Dazhi. The reason why I chose that place just now and strayed into the encirclement was that I was caught by the enemy: most of my ship is a big ship. Only when I dock in that place, I will be stranded elsewhere. As a result, there were heavy casualties.

Thoughts have entered a misunderstanding. Now, it's time to correct it. When it's evening, you can change to a boat, go ashore from anywhere, and slip away quietly. Is it always okay?

When people are under pressure, they will burst out with strong physical strength. When they are desperate, Han Yong, who is not good at thinking, can actually come up with a seemingly smart idea.

He made up his mind: transfer to a boat, go ashore on the other side, and sneak away at night!

"Ban!" Suddenly, a fire came from the other side of his imagination. Han Yong's face changed greatly. It's impossible, it's absolutely impossible!

This lake is about 15 miles from north to south and ten miles from east to west. Although this lake is not big, it is not small. How many troops does the other side have? The lake can be completely surrounded, which requires at least 100,000 people, and all the troops of Zhang Shicheng add up, and there are no 50,000 people.

He must have been under too much pressure, so he had an illusion. Han Yong shook his head.

"Ban!" Again, the sound of fire came from the north this time.

"Ban, bang, bang." In all directions, there was a sporadic sound of fire in all directions.

What's going on? Did they really surround the whole lake? Han Yong's confidence began to waver. From the sound of fire, it was true that it was in all directions.

This is not only a stagnant lake, but also a stagnant lake surrounded by rebels! Han Yong looked at the sun at noon and was desperate.

"General, the island in the center has arrived. Are we going up?" A guard asked.

There was a trace of panic in the guard's eyes, and his face was pale and weak. He heard the sound of fire on all sides. Obviously, all the remaining soldiers fell into endless panic. The bloody scene just now poured into his mind again.

This battle can't be won at all. There is no way to escape. What else can we do?

Han Yong lowered his head, pressed the sword with his hand, and finally used all his strength and suddenly pulled it out.

"General, don't!" The guard saw Han Yong's purpose and hurried forward.

Several guards next to

also rushed over, and several people worked together to seize Han Yong's sword.

"General, we still have combat effectiveness. It's still possible to fight to the death. Why does the general seek short-sightedness?" A guard asked, and his eyes were full of tears.

"Yes, general, you must cheer up!" Another guard said.

Han Yong lowered his head and didn't want the soldiers to see his tears. He didn't want to die. However, now there are enemies on all sides. Even if they stand out of the siege, there are not many of these brothers left. When they came, there were 10,000 energetic sailors. Now, there are only two thousand people left, and they can experience another battle to break through the siege. Is it? When you get to Dazhi, how can you explain it yourself?

The edge of the sword still left a trace on his neck. The blood was slowly oozing out, and Han Yong's heart was gradually getting cold.

I'm on all sides, and I'm at the end of the road. What should I do?

"Ban, bang, bang." The sound of fire on all sides, sometimes absent, echoed on the lake.

The word "surrender" flashed in Han Yong's mind.

Now, it is the end of the crossbow. There are only 2,000 people left in the team of 10,000 people. The morale is low, especially in the beach position. The army has been completely scared. Anyway, they are all Han people. If they surrender, there should be a way to live.

"Call the remaining two thousand households, and all the hundred households, to come to my ship to discuss." Han Yong said.

Up to now, eight thousand households have been killed in the battle, and there are only a dozen households left. This battle is a fiasco. Now there is no hope of breaking through. Moreover, now the river is blocked. Once the other party cleans up the river, those smoking strange boats come in, I'm afraid they will have to feed all the bastards.

The surviving middle and senior officers gathered on Han Yong's ship. Their clothes were no longer bright and their eyes were no longer bright, as if they were ten years old in one day.

"I call everyone here this time to discuss what we should do next." Han Yong said.

No one speaks. Up to now, they have been cowardly to death. They have not had the original spirit for a long time.

"What can I do? Anyway, it's all dead." A hundred households said carelessly, "It's better to surrender earlier, and there is still a way to live."

"Presumptuous, we are officers and soldiers. How can we surrender to the rebels?" A thousand households said angrily.

"What's wrong with the officers and soldiers? If they are still beaten by others, if they don't surrender, you will come up with an idea!" Baihu said.

"If you dare to disturb the military heart again, I will kill you!"

"I know that you are cruel to your own people and capable. You killed all the rebels on the shore. I, Liu Si, obeyed you."

At this time, there is no such strict boundary between the superiors and subordinates. The soldiers in the hands of thousands of households are brought by hundreds of households, and there are not many of his own relatives.

"Forget it, don't quarrel." Han Yong said that he saw that his opinions were not the same. If he proposed to surrender, he would not be able to suppress those officers who still want to fight. However, I'm afraid that there are too few such people. As long as they are not crazy, they should be able to see that there is only a way to die if they fight.

"We want to break through, do you have a good plan?" Han Yong asked.

"I can't go ashore. If I go ashore, I will die for nothing. The waterway is blocked again. There are still so many ships waiting for us. It's not that I, Liu Si, said frustrated words. Now, we don't have the ability to fight against them at all. It's better to surrender. Anyway, our military pay has been delayed for half a year. Why give it to the Tatar. Do your job."

As soon as the word "Tarter" came out, everyone's face changed greatly. Now they are all officers and soldiers. The word "tartar" is not casual.

Liu Si doesn't care. He has been determined to surrender for a long time. He has quietly sent people to ambush around the big ship in a small boat. It doesn't matter if everyone surrenders. If someone dares to resist, he will tie up the man. In this way, he can still make contributions. If he surrenders, he may be an official.

"Liu Baihu, although our military pay is not paid, after all, we are favored by the court." Han Yong said, "What you just said, just think we didn't hear it."

"The grace of the court, can the grace of the court get us out of the current predicament? Here, unless you surrender, there is no way to live at all. Today, you are just surrounded by them. By tomorrow, the blocked waterways will be cleared by them, and those smoking boats will drive into the lake. Which of you have the ability to compete with those big ships? I'm afraid it's too late to surrender at that time, right?

Everyone was stunned. It's true. In the morning, the ship that rushed out was sunk and blocked the waterway. Of course, his ship could not get out, and the other party's ship could not get in. As long as he did not go ashore to provoke those deadly fires, it was still safe now. However, when the waterway was cleared out, the other party's ship came in. With these tired people, what can they do to compete with others?

"Demon words confuse the public!" Qianhu was so angry that he couldn't help pulling out his sword: "Liu Si, die now!"

Liu Si dodged backwards and whistled loudly.

With his whistle, the soldiers of several small boats around him climbed up one after another and rushed into the cabin, with bright knives pointing at the crowd.

"Liu Baihu, what do you want to do?" Han Yong asked.

"Tie him up for me first." Liu Si pointed to Qianhu and said.

"Liu Si, you are guilty of the following crimes. According to the military law, his crime can be punished!" Qianhu said.

"Military law, the army is gone, what's the law?" Liu Si said, "I, Liu Si, welcome all those who go to surrender with me. Those who don't surrender, tie them up!"

Several soldiers came forward and tied up thousands of households.

The general trend has gone, and Han Yong took the lead in saying, "I also have this intention. Let's go down together."

Other people have to agree when they see the situation. In fact, their hearts are similar. In order to survive, they can only surrender.

A white flag was raised on Baoying Lake.
