The arrest of viscount Hessen wiped out the hope before Cherchen, but in konotopu fort, because the people didn\'t know the news, the officers and soldiers of the whole city were cheering for last night\'s victory.

After enough rest, the surviving soldiers came outside from the fortifications behind the trench. They lost no time in moving the bodies of the enemy and our sides and collecting all possible war preparedness materials. So people scraped away the swords, long guns, muskets, bullets, armor and even leather boots left on the battlefield; At the same time, they also filled the gap with large sections of logs, firewood bundles, rubble and soil. From ordinary soldiers to officers, regardless of rank, everyone scrambled to work hard.

Although the work was hard, all the defense soldiers looked radiant, and their hearts were burning with hope and faith to achieve greater victory. At the same time, the words that Cherchen preached before the war that the Russians will run away and give up the siege of konotopu Fort after the end of the attack have been constantly mentioned, and everyone\'s heart also hopes that this can really become a reality.

After filling the gap, Chechen and Pedro went to inspect the city wall together. Che Chen leaned out of the battlements and looked at the bodies of the enemies everywhere. Both of them were overjoyed at the fruitful results.

"There are corpses everywhere!" said Pedro excitedly, pointing to the rubble field. "And beside the gap, the corpses are piled so high that even the tallest of us can\'t reach the top on tiptoe."

"The most important thing," said Cherchen, "is that we have completely broken the backbone of the enemy. Now I don\'t think the Russians can organize an attack any more."

This time, Pedro agreed with Cherchen\'s words as never before.

"Yes, it must be. I have fought so many wars, but I have never seen an army that can regain its confidence and reorganize its attack after such a great setback."

At this time, commander dimosev came to Chechen. The company commander also had an unprecedented red face - he came to report the good news.

"Captain of the regiment, and your excellency Pedro. There is good news. My Cossack has just returned from the Russians. The morale of the enemy is unprecedentedly low. Alexei trubetzkoy is even so pessimistic and disappointed that he is going to leave his post. Everyone is saying that as long as you are guarding the castle, they will never want to capture it. There are more people here "My little father loves us, but obviously Alexei and his generals are not so cute. They let his children bleed and die needlessly without telling my little father. This is shameless. If we are not allowed to withdraw our troops, we have to ask some important heads to move in the end."

Hearing this, Pedro hugged Cherchen.

"You did it again, you did it again, my dear nephew."

Originally, Pedro had secretly agreed with Fatima and Xie Miao that if the Russians still didn\'t give up winning konotop after the attack, no matter how determined Chechen was, in order to save Chechen\'s life, they would forcibly deprive Chechen of his military power, and have Fatima and Xie Miao secretly escort Chechen out of the city.

But now, this final plan is no longer needed.

The pleasant atmosphere lasted until the afternoon. Due to the good news brought by commander dimosev, Cherchen was especially kind to put all the captured Russian officers and soldiers back, and returned all their belongings.

But such a happy atmosphere ended at sunset, because the Russians launched the captured Viscount Hesse on the triangle fort.

"Captain, don\'t shoot, it\'s me!" Hessen, who was tied hands and feet, shouted loudly, standing on the battlements stacked with sandbags.

Fedot was furious when he saw that Viscount Hesse had indeed taken refuge in the enemy. He raised his Turkish rifle and aimed at Viscount Hesse: "Hesse, you traitor, I shot you!"

"Fedot, my old man. I didn\'t betray the commander. I just wanted to live. I hid in a German hometown. I wanted to wait until the war was over. But Ivan hilko found it. I had to." Viscount Hessen explained in tears.

Fedot bit his teeth and threw the gun aside.

Whether what Viscount Hesse said is true or not, after all, he used to be his comrades in arms. How could fedot have the heart to shoot his comrades in arms.

At this time, Che Chen, who heard the cry, came down to the wall accompanied by Pedro and Fatima. When they saw the Viscount Hesse opposite, their faces turned blue.

Seeing that Chechen was opposite, viscount Hessen quickly shouted out what Prince Alexei wanted him to take: "Captain, the prince asked me to give you a message: \'he knows that your counterattack last night was the last force. Now konotopu fort is out of ammunition and food, and it is impossible to stop the attack of the powerful Russian army. But the prince is still willing to give you a chance: as long as you surrender, the safety of life and property of the whole city will be guaranteed. Whoever doesn\'t want to stay has the right to withdraw and where he wants to go It\'s up to everyone to decide. "

This is the fourth time that Prince Alexei has persuaded Chechen to surrender. It shows that the prince attaches great importance to Chechen.

Both Pedro and yelishei looked at Cherchen with hope and hoped that he would accept Prince Alexei\'s conditions.

After all, his cards have been clearly seen by his opponents. Konotopu really has no capital to bargain with the Russians.

At this time, countless thoughts in Chechen\'s heart turned over. Among them, there are not only vikovsky\'s expectations for him, but also King Jan kazimiz\'s instructions to him, not only the cries of the dead Cossacks, but also the calls from vidava.

He had tried his best. If Viscount Hesse had not been captured by the Russians at the most critical moment and revealed the inside story of konotopu fort, it would have been the Russians who withdrew.

Chechen looked back at the soldiers and chapel in the square under the city (there were hundreds of seriously wounded in the riddled Church). He said with difficulty: "please reply to Prince Alexei and say let me think about it for one night."

The Russian officers and soldiers on the triangle Fort gave a deafening cheer - Cherchen\'s reply undoubtedly showed that the mountains and waters of konotopu fort were exhausted, and now it can be pushed down with even a little finger.

Knowing this, even if Cherchen did not choose to surrender after tonight, the Russian soldiers had enough courage and faith to win konotopu fort.

There was a relieved smile on Viscount Hesse\'s face. He impatiently replied, "yes, yes, of course. I\'ll reply to the prince right away."

With that, he jumped off the battlements regardless of his bound legs.

After a while, viscount Hesse, who was loosened, returned to the triangle castle. He replied, "the prince agreed to a truce for one night, waiting for you to make the right choice."
