On the morning of the ninth day of the tenth month of the old calendar in the first year of Chongzhen, when the team led by Xiao Xuan approached the field not far from Qingyuan County, the child who was in charge of watching from the hundred-foot pole could easily use the telescope to see the fireworks about thirty miles away, but at this distance, the people and horses on the battlefield in the distance were a little blurred on the telescope.

"How many of them are there?" Xiao Xuan asked

"Together with what seems to be a corpse-like range, it seems to be a full-scale range and a battlefield on the scale of a battalion... Although the child is still very young, under the special education and edification, he understands a lot of things.

Although the Pro-Guard Brigade led by Huang Dou suffered heavy losses and initial defeat in yesterday's fierce battle because it did not adapt to this plane, which was completely different from other real Jianzhou troops in the late Ming Dynasty, in that fatal attack, it still relied on the strong will and sophisticated equipment of the Pro-Guard Brigade to thwart the attack of more than 100 Niu Lu and tens of thousands of armored soldiers. After suffering heavy losses, the remaining more than 2,000 troops were no longer enough to form a complete hollow phalanx, and could only be gathered together to deal with possible surprise attacks from the losses of the Jianzhou army in all directions.

Although the number of troops was obviously much smaller than that of the 10,000 Sichuan troops on the banks of the Hunhe River back then, because of the excellent performance of the plate armor, most of the strong bows in the projectile distance could not form too efficient killing, and they still persevered until the sky was bright through active transfer and attack at night. However, due to the lack of opportunities to rest, there is no doubt that the remnants of the pro-guard brigade led by Huang Dou at this time have reached the point of running out of oil and lamps.

"Get ready to fire!" A day and night of fierce battles and a day and night of waiting also made Hun Tai Jihei wait for the "Lu Song Great Bronze Cannon" transferred from the north and even the artillery team composed of hundreds of Han Chinese.

The fierce artillery began to fire continuously, forcing the remaining two thousand elites to camp in a looser formation or lower their bodies if they wanted to avoid being too severely killed under the artillery fire, but at this time, the strong bows and heavy arrows that continued to be fired from all directions also began to shoot through the plate armor on the backs of many people, and more and more people lost too much blood in the armor and passed out after attaching minor injuries that were not serious.

In the day and night of fighting, in order to deal a annihilating blow to this elite force, more than 100 Niu Lu and tens of thousands of armored soldiers who participated in the battle also suffered hundreds of deaths, thousands of losses, and casualties including auxiliaries as many as 2,000. This loss was slightly less than the more than 1,000 killed in the battle with the Sichuan army on the bank of the Hunhe River, about 3,000 casualties, while the elite losses were obviously slightly more, a total of 15 officers, including 11 assistant leaders, were killed in the battle, which was nearly double that of the original Battle of the Hunhe River.

This also made Hun Tai Ji Hei also understand that in the face of such an extraordinary opponent, even if the shield vehicles are complete and the enemy is not too light, the command is much stronger than the original Battle of the Hunhe River, and it is still necessary to pay a lot of price. It is so difficult to deal with about 5,000 strong opponents, and if you want to destroy more than 10,000 strong soldiers who are about the same as the armored soldiers who are still fighting this time, the army participating in the battle this time must be prepared for a heavy hemorrhage. Therefore, what can be avoided is to be avoided.

"It seems that the forbidden brigade of the new emperor of the Ming court is only about ten miles away from here... At this time, one of the pro-soldiers said to Hei Huan Bolie. At this time, Hun Tai Jihei did not hesitate any longer, and decided to leave only a thousand horses in armor for the time being, and a reserve team including two thousand auxiliaries to contain these strong soldiers from nowhere. The main force is ready to first meet and duel the 10,000 people of the Ming Court. The main force of about 17,000, including 9,000 armor, is still a force that obviously exceeds the 8,000 or so armor and 80 Niu Lu in the battle of Hunhe against the Sichuan army.

The main force of the Jianzhou army, which had gathered first in the mighty forward horse team, did not immediately attack, but a very skilled strong archer shot an arrow that seemed to be wrapped in something from a distance of a mile. Of course, there is not much content on the letter, but the Jianzhou side intends to exclude the envoys who are in the battle from coming to pass the word and discuss, which seems to mean that they plan to negotiate peace.

Xiao Xuan could think that this might be a means of delaying time, but seeing that the person who came did not look around or try to flamboyate, he just bluntly passed some information in Chinese, and at the same time carried the certificate of the message, which seemed to be quite decent, so he did not immediately behead or set fire to the person who came to avoid accidents.

"Your Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, our Hun Tai Ji admires you very much. You are one of the few Han Chinese who thinks of yourself as a son of heaven like Genghis Khan or our Hun Taiji, and you are quite talented in managing the army. I think that even Emperor Taizu of the year can't compare with you... ”

Xiao Xuan had no intention of showing up at this time, just kidding, it would not be a good thing to let those elite archers of Jianzhou be targeted when they were in battle.

"In that case, are you leading a large army to come here, do you plan to lay down your armor, weapons, horses, and unconditional surrender in a proper manner, or do you plan to discuss things like cutting your armaments and giving up the fields of Liaodong?" The person in charge of dealing with China was only a junior apprentice in the auxiliary camp who was not even fourteen years old, which showed Xiao Xuan's contempt.

"His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty is probably not so optimistic about the situation he is facing now, and this must be something he knows. If you new emperor behaves like this, I'm afraid that the opponent is not only our Jianzhou. The terms of the peace talks are written in this letter. It will definitely not make the Ming Emperor lose face like the Southern Song Dynasty when Gaozong was in the past... ”

Of course, Xiao Xuan also quickly understood through the relays of some people that the conditions of Huang Taiji at this time were actually half a pound and eight taels from the conditions put forward by Hou Jin in his impression? Still asking for a million taels of silver a year, and still recognizing established borders?

Xiao Xuan knew that the initiative of the decisive battle was not in his hands, and it didn't matter if he delayed for a while, and it might even be more beneficial to himself. Therefore, he also stated his own conditions: that is, to withdraw the troops first, and then talk about it, and ask for one million taels of coins a year in the name of trade? This is, of course, a sign of insincerity.

Therefore, there is no longer any shy about it: "In the face of this new brigade led by me, which is only more than a year old, you are trying to negotiate to delay time to gain a little bargaining chip, which shows that you are also panicking in your hearts: if you can't seize this opportunity to destroy the more than 10,000 main forces led by me." I'm afraid that more than ten years later, it will be the end of the entire state, right? In that case, everything is decided on the battlefield! You will understand that after today's war, a few years of truce may be a grace to you, and you may come to peace in a completely different way after the war, but then it will be useless ... ”

Xiao Xuan didn't kill Yiming in the end. Because I believe that these teenagers have rushed here with the belief of death and enough hole cards.
