Qiming 1158

Chapter 1464 Xiao Duolu surrenders without opening the city

The battle lasted all morning, and then the pursuit ended at sunset in the afternoon.

While chasing, the Ming army captured and beheaded the defeated soldiers of the Western Liaoning Province. They chased for seven or eight miles in a row until the people were trapped and the horses were no longer able to chase or move. Only then did the battle of Bishkek completely end.

In the battle, the Ming army beheaded about 1 soldiers from the Xiliao coalition forces, and captured more than [-] people. Less than [-] people actually fled successfully, and this included the commander of the Xiliao army, Xiao Orila.

This really made Su Haisheng unhappy. He always felt that he should capture Xiao Orili to be the final victory.

But I have to say that this battle was indeed a big victory. The Ming army almost wiped out the main force of the Xiliao army, and the possibility of the continued existence of Xiliao was completely destroyed in the first battle.

After the main force of the army was destroyed, the country on which Xiliao depended for survival was simply gone. Without the violent support of the army, it can be said that this battle basically announced that Xiliao would be completely subjugated.

The Xiliao army is still a little capable, more elite and good at fighting, and it is worthy of the hegemony of Central Asia.

The cavalry, in particular, once put a lot of pressure on the Ming army's cavalry, so that the main force of the Ming army was exhausted after the battle, and had to rest for a few days to recover, and could not continue to pursue the Xiliao commander Xiao Orilia who had escaped for his life. .

But still won.

The main force of the Ming army rested for three days after the war.

In the past three days, in addition to continuing to besiege the city, Su Haisheng also persuaded Hu Siyuan to surrender for the last time, dragging a large number of prisoners of war from Xi Liao to the city and showing them to the people in the city, letting them know the main force they were expecting. The reinforcements have completely collapsed.

The appearance of a large number of prisoners of war in the Xiliao army and the appearance of the battle flag convinced the people in the city that they really had no hope, and their spiritual sustenance had been wiped out.

Xiao Orili was defeated.

This made the city's defenders and bureaucratic dignitaries completely lose hope, and lost their will to fight. Even the most staunch supporters of Yelu Pusuwan began to waver and changed their minds.

It can't be fought any more, and it doesn't make any sense to fight any more. Xiliao has in fact perished.

Most of the officials and dignitaries believed that they should surrender, while the army basically lost the will to fight, and there were only five or six people who were willing to continue to resist hopelessly and those who were willing to rest with the country, and their voices were quickly lost. submerged.

The capitulation faction dominated the mainstream and strongly demanded that Yelu Pusuwan announced his surrender and terminated the existence of Xiliao.

Yelu Pusu closed himself in the depths of the palace, closed himself, and did not respond to the outside voice, just like he died.

But it didn't make much sense, because even without her orders, the resistance would not go on at all.

Yelu Pusuwan is autistic, but there are many people who want to survive. They found Xiao Duolubu, the husband of Yelu Pusuwan, who was in charge of city defense, and asked him what his opinion was and whether he should persevere.

Xiao Duolu can't see Yelu Pusuwan now, and he has absolutely no idea what she is thinking. Seeing that the officers and the powerful bureaucrats have lost the courage to continue to resist, he himself is not much better. .

Previously, it was all supported by the news that my father was leading troops back to support. As a result, now that my father was defeated, the main force of the army was completely wiped out by the Ming army. How can we fight this battle?
It's over!It's over!
Xiliao is equal to the subjugation of the country!
After thinking about it, Xiao Duolu didn't think that with the [-] defenders in the city, he had no chance of winning, so he made a decision.

"Let's talk to the Ming people about the treatment after surrender."

Xiao Duolu did not make a decision, and the powerful bureaucrats in the city immediately selected a high-ranking person and asked him to go out of the city as a representative to discuss the treatment after the surrender with the Ming army, that is, a conditional surrender.

They want better treatment for themselves.

But Su Haisheng told them that they had no other choice. The only way to go is to surrender unconditionally. All the right to choose and decide is in the hands of Daming, and the loser has no right to seek any conditions from the winner.

The envoy from Xiliao didn't give up, thinking that he still had a bargaining chip, and was unwilling to let go. However, after the Ming army demonstratively fired at Hu Sior's ear with a large general cannon, the envoy from Xiliao realized that the Ming army wanted to capture Hu Sior's ear. Probably not at all difficult.

In the face of overwhelming force, the elites of Xiliao were frightened, but they were even more afraid of the so-called unconditional surrender.

Regarding the behavior of the Ming Kingdom, the senior officials of Xiliao heard a little bit, and learned how the senior officials of Xixia were swallowed alive by the Ming Kingdom, so they were very entangled as to whether to surrender.

Some people think it's okay to surrender, some people think it's courting death, and it's better to fight to the death and try to break through.

The East Karakhan Kingdom is estimated to be over, but the West Karakhan Kingdom is still there. As long as it successfully breaks through to the West Karakhan Kingdom, there is still some way to go, right?

Neither side could convince the other, so everyone simply negotiated, and those who were willing to break through would try to break through by themselves. The time was tonight. Whether they succeeded or not, Hu Siyuan surrendered unconditionally in the morning tomorrow.

After the discussion, the breakout faction immediately began to contact the troops they were familiar with, but they begged their grandpa to tell their grandma, but in the end they only managed to gather more than 100 people who were willing to break out with them, and all the remaining city defense troops were willing to surrender.

Helpless, more than 2000 people are also human beings.

That night, the Husi Ordo city gate was slowly opened, and the breakout faction of more than 2000 people quietly went out of the city to gather, while the surrender faction still hid in the city and waited.

The result of the breakout is of course not good.

The Ming army has a very strict night defense system and rapid response troops. Once someone finds a "night attack", they respond quickly. The shouting and killing outside the city lasted for about three sticks of incense, and there was nothing left.

The people in the city did not know how many people the breakout faction had succeeded in, but this did not prevent them from opening the city gates and surrendering unconditionally when it was just dawn the next day.

Led by Xiao Duolubu, the city's dignitaries, bureaucrats, senior officers, and others all dressed in single clothes, held up flags, bound their hands, lined up out of the city, knelt down, and begged for surrender.

Su Haisheng was originally very annoyed by the "night attack" of these guys, and was about to assemble the army to raze Hu Siyuan's ears to the ground, but he actually learned that these guys had surrendered in Kaicheng.

He was a little surprised, so he sent someone to ask what was going on, but he learned that the powerful people in the city were split into two factions, one was determined to break through, and the other was unwilling to break through.

The more than 2000 people who raided last night actually broke out and wanted to seek refuge in the West Karakhan Kingdom, but were unwilling to surrender.

But now they don't want to break out of the siege, they just want to surrender, or surrender unconditionally. I implore the Daming army not to embarrass them and accept their surrender.

After learning about it, Su Haisheng thought for a moment and decided to take people to see them in person.

Seeing Xiao Duolu kneeling on the ground in single clothes from time to time, Su Haisheng smiled.

"Have you decided to surrender anyway?"

"The Ming army is mighty and mighty, and sinners dare not resist, only surrender."

"Why call yourself a sinner?"

"Knowing that someone was going to break through, but couldn't stop it, Daming's army was damaged and he felt guilty, so he was a sinner."

"It's sensible."

Su Haisheng pointed at Xiao Duolu with the whip in his hand: "Last night, the raid by the bandits caused the Daming army to suffer losses. This is a sin that cannot be avoided no matter what, but I want you to surrender voluntarily and know the sin, so I won't punish you for the time being, and I will report it to Daming. After the court, we will deal with it."

"Thank you General!"

Xiao Duolu did not take the lead in kowtow.

The rest of the Xiliao dignitaries and officers kowtowed together.
