Chapter 1456 (2/2)
Leo was not angry with Jill's rude refutation just now.
But in a calm tone:
”Jill... Do you have the heart to watch our country with the flags of the British Empire...”
”Well...” Jill faltered.
He wanted to refute what Leo just said.
But he couldn't spit out half a word.
”You don't want to just watch our country perish? Isn't it? ”
”As long as there is a glimmer of hope, we should fight to the last minute for the future of our country - isn't that our duty as soldiers? Am I right? Barr? ”
Leo looked to Barr, who had been silent since just now.
”... well.” There was no expression on Barr's face. ”You're right...”
”Your Excellency Leo...” Gilbert threw a complicated look at Leo, ”how are you going to send Jeanne and Barr out of the city? Although the British army did not surround the city, it was watching it all the time. ”
”How are you going to get people out of Orleans safely under the surveillance of the British army?”
As soon as Jill's voice fell, Leo immediately replied:
”It's also very simple.”
A faint smile appeared on Leo's face.
”Just send bait to attract the attention of the British Army...”
……
……
”Orleans surrendered! Orleans surrendered! ”
”Long live! Long live! ”
”Orleans head!”
……
Similar cheers could be heard everywhere in the Britannia army barracks north of Orleans.
Just now, a messenger from Orleans came to the British army camp.
Explain the purpose of his trip to Su Cheng - all the defenders in Orleans decided to surrender, asked the generals of the British army to come to receive the troops tomorrow morning, and asked Su Cheng to treat all the soldiers and citizens in Orleans well.
Su Cheng naturally agreed to this request without hesitation.
After all - he wasn't going to do anything to Orleans.
Even if the messenger does not add the request of ”please be kind to the soldiers and citizens of Orleans”, Su Cheng will not impose any atrocities on the soldiers and citizens of Orleans.
There was no need to hide such good news. At Su Cheng's instigation, the news that ”Orleans surrendered” spread all over the army at an extremely fast speed.
Originally, the whole army was ready to suffer a lot to win Orleans.
In the end, he won Orleans without firing an arrow.
There is a feeling of ”picking up one's own life”, so the morale of all military officers and soldiers is unprecedented.
Their cheers even reached Orleans.
……
……
The next morning, Su Cheng personally led a large army to line up in the Northern Wilderness of Orleans, ready to receive the troops from Orleans.
The north gate of Orleans is wide open.
The first person to leave the city along the open north gate was an old man without armor or weapons.
Wearing ordinary cloth clothes, the old man stood on a convertible car specially used for loading.
Driven by the coachman, the old man rattled towards the British army in front.
Behind the old man was a group of Orleans ”original defenders” who were no longer wearing any armor and holding any weapons.
These soldiers have different faces.
Some are dejected.
Some have no expression.
Some sobbed.
Some simply cry.
