Surrender is a tradition of the British army.

Britain's army is completely different from Long Yan's army.

The Longyan army prides itself on dying on the battlefield and shrouding corpses in horse leather, but the British gentlemen only regard soldiering and fighting as a profession.

In their eyes, personal interests are greater than national interests. They know that if their escape route is cut off, even if they can fight, they are no match for the Sudanese army here. If they fight, they will definitely die. If they surrender, they can survive. If they can't win, they will still have to fight.

Death, they can't do such a "stupid thing".

British gentlemen are all well aware of this truth, which is why Hans was able to "sell out his teammates" so decisively.

The first day's battle ended miraculously.

The battle was still very brutal.

The Sudanese army under Nashadir suffered more than 12,000 casualties, while the number of British casualties in the battle, in addition to the more than 17,000 surrendered soldiers, was also 8,000 killed or drowned.

In this battle, the Sudanese army won the victory, but looking at the overall situation, their side is still at a huge disadvantage.

Now, there are only more than 30,000 Sudanese troops left under Nashadir, while Britain still has 180,000 troops.

Initially, the ratio of soldiers on both sides was one to four, but now it has become one to six.

The gap is getting wider and wider.

Nashadir can also recruit troops locally, but the soldiers recruited by force have no combat effectiveness!

First of all, Nashadir does not have enough firearms in his hands. Most of the new soldiers will have to hold bows and arrows, but crossbows require training. If you rush to the battlefield without training, you can hit one out of ten arrows.

, that’s pretty good.

Secondly, before the British army attacks, they must cover their positions with artillery fire. Thunder-like artillery shells explode around them. This has a huge impact on people's psychology and physiology. Even veterans may not be safe, let alone

These new recruits are crazy.

Finally, and most importantly, they cannot stop the British crossing fleet. It is inevitable that the two sides will engage in hand-to-hand combat on the battlefield. The white knife goes in and the red knife comes out. This is a more exciting visual impact.

, if this group of recruits cannot bear it anymore and turn around and run away, the battlefield will collapse at the first touch.

Nashadir proposed conscription, but Jiang Xuan quickly vetoed it.

Although the Sudanese army is weak in combat power, it can barely hold on on the battlefield. If a group of ordinary people are really added to the battlefield, it will be digging its own grave.

The situation is critical, but it is not without good news.

The good news is that they captured the British army, eighteen thousand people!

This is a great morale booster!

Originally, these Sudanese soldiers were afraid of the British army to their core, but these prisoners also made them understand that the British soldiers were also human beings, and they were also greedy for life and afraid of death. As long as they risked their lives with them, their legs would tremble.

With morale, it is possible to continue fighting!

Jiang Xuan was telling Nashadir about the combat belief of "the ambition to stay in the battle, life or death", but Nashadir couldn't listen at all.

All his life, he has worked hard for glory and wealth. Over the years, he has accumulated a lot of wealth. What will happen to the money if he dies?

He now has thoughts of surrender.

If he can't hold on in the end, he will choose to surrender. He still knows Britain very well. The number of British troops is also limited. They are carrying out colonial rule and they also need the cooperation of local armed forces. If he is willing to give them a pawn

Even if a guard dog loses the right to speak out, he still has no problem keeping his life, glory, and wealth.

Looking at Nashadir's absent-minded look, Jiang Xuan probably guessed what he was thinking.

This old boy is also a loser. If he can win, he will fight. If he can't, he will surrender. He really has no military integrity at all.

Although he hates him, Jiang Xuan really needs him. Jiang Xuan needs to find a way to make him persist to the end.

As long as Nashadir and the Britons are completely on opposite sides, it will be enough, but what should be done specifically?

Kill and surrender?

Trapping and killing more than 18,000 British soldiers and insulting Britain completely ignited the anger of the British people and cut off Nashadir's escape route, leaving him to follow him and resist obediently.

But this is really too cruel. Even if he can achieve his goal, he cannot withstand the condemnation of conscience and public opinion.

He is not Ling Chen. Although he also likes fighting, he does not like massacres. Moreover, after killing, it will arouse the British people's desire for revenge. If the opponent attacks with all their strength, they may be able to break the position in advance.

You can't kill him, but you can't serve him well either. Firstly, you can't let Nashadir leave a good impression on the British army. Secondly, even with eighteen thousand mouths, it's difficult to provide logistics.

We have to find a way to let them use their remaining energy.

Soon, Jiang Xuan had an idea, which was to integrate these British troops into the Sudanese army under Nashadir!

In this way, the problem of insufficient military resources is solved!

These British soldiers are all veterans, and there is no doubt about their combat effectiveness. With their joining, the garrison strength of the river bank position will be directly upgraded to a higher level!

Jiang Xuan put forward his own ideas with Nashadir, but Nashadir was very worried. After all, these people are British. If they defect before the formation, wouldn't the position be in chaos?

But Jiang Xuan had already thought of a countermeasure.
