Zhao Zhe also wanted to continue to rush and kill in one go, but the true qi in his body had been almost consumed. And looking around the left and right, those Huya troops who rushed to kill with them, although they were very powerful, were also out of breath and exhausted. The Huya Army is still like this, not to mention the other cavalry and infantry. In addition to the tireless, there is no morale effect of the puppet army. The entire army, rushing to kill until now, is like the end of a strong crossbow, and the evil aura that rushes to the sky is declining with the exhaustion of physical strength. If you continue to kill, of course, it's okay, but as time goes by, there will be more and more casualties. Most of the people who followed themselves to participate in this operation were their most valuable elite legions, and they were naturally unwilling to consume them in vain.

As a result, after raising his sword and slashing several heavy infantry wearing heavy helmets and fighting well. Zhao Zhe also laughed loudly: "Peace talks are okay, but I need a group of hostages who have laid down their arms." ”

Although the white-robed sage was depressed for a while, he knew that today's loss was too great. Let's talk about the front line first, the Nine Heavens Xuannu Hall has been raging in the sky for almost three hours. Not only did they kill tens of thousands of troops, but they also knocked out the morale of the entire front line of no less than one million troops. And the Great Zhao Army also took advantage of the situation to cover up, and within three hours, the front-line army suffered extremely heavy casualties.

The most important thing is that there is also a huge basket in the rear of the army. God knows where this elite, which is no less than 500,000, came from? In just one and a half hours, more than half of the tents were destroyed. If it weren't for taking care of the front line, the top of the coalition forces was moved to a position near the front line. If you can't say it, you will give the other party a head to end it. Even the most conservative estimate is that the number of soldiers in the entire coalition army at this time is only 1.8 million. Half less than what was born before I came. But the Great Zhao army should be at 1.3 or 400 million. Even if he leads the coalition forces to attack again, according to his current combat effectiveness and morale, it will be difficult to win this battle again.

To say that this Great Zhao is really terrifying, especially this army that has come from the rear. There are countless elites, and the combat power of the grandmaster level alone has reached two hundred and tens, and there are two innates. Countless first-class masters. Although he also understands that this 500,000-strong army is now considered to be the end of the crossbow. But at the same time, his army was also full of problems, and after many battles and setbacks, the army had fallen into a low ebb. Panicked moods, exhausted soldiers. made the white-robed sage have to compromise with Da Zhao. After all, according to the strength of Da Zhao's army of 500,000, plus Jiayuguan and the army that followed. If the two sides are flanked, I am afraid that the final result will be that the remaining less than 1.8 million people will be planted in this Hexi corridor.

Use the soldier who laid down his arms as a hostage, although humiliated at this time. But if the battle continues, the army is afraid that it will collapse. Once the army collapses, no matter how many people there are, it will only be enough to fill people's edges.

"Okay, I'll give you 100,000 hostages." The white-robed sage's voice was like a mosquito, burrowing into his ears.

Zhao Zhe didn't know his intentions, so he continued to ride his horse forward. Seven or eight people were trampled to death one after another by stepping on the snow, and Shura Dao added several more souls. The army in the rear also followed him and rushed forward to kill.

"300,000 hostages, one less, my brother won't agree." As a human head flew into the sky, Zhao Zhe laughed wildly: "Da Zhao's brothers, if they don't give it, we will take it ourselves, kill and kill~"

"Kill, kill, kill~" The fierce Da Zhao soldier immediately shouted with Zhao Zhe's shout. The cavalry continued to assault forward, the infantry holding their spears firmly in their hands, under the shield bearers to open the way. Steadily stepped forward, mercilessly, stabbed the enemy soldiers to death one by one.

"Stop, stop, 300,000 is 300,000." Rao is white-robed sage is an innate figure, and under the momentum of such a determined and murderous strong army, he also had to announce his surrender.

"When you get the people ready, my army will naturally stop." Zhao Zhe roared wildly, stepped on the snow and rushed forward, hitting a Rakshasa heavy infantry wrapped in iron armor and holding a sword in both hands staggered, and Shura Dao drew a perfect arc from bottom to top, breaking through layers of protection, and slashing this heavy step master with comprehensive strength in the third or second rank under the knife.

On the flanks, a Rakshasa heavy cavalry team of about 1,000 people finally organized a charge, and the general led by the general had the strength of the realm, and suddenly cut off the head of a bronze armored corpse with a wave of the knife, and the elite heavy cavalry behind him followed closely behind him to rush forward layer by layer, trying to kill a bloody way. Under the impact of the high-headed war horse also wearing iron armor, Rao was the fierceness of the puppet army, and it was difficult to resist for a while, and he was broken into the body of seven or eight horses. However, at this moment, a golden light flashed, and a puppet corpse with a golden mask on his face appeared in front of his war horse, and suddenly threw a punch and smashed it into the head of the war horse. The superb war horse, which was still sprinting, only had time to neigh fiercely, and flew out two or three feet away, and was killed on the spot.

The powerful heavily armored knight rolled in the air and stood. But the puppet army that came next completely overwhelmed him, who was dressed in gorgeous battle armor like silver, and more than a thousand elite heavy horsemen, and only countless frightened screams came out.

Another strong man with grandmaster-level strength fled backwards because he was reluctant to abandon his deployment, but he was finally targeted by five tiger tooth soldiers, wielding a two-handed big sword and slashing a tiger tooth soldier, and then it was difficult to resist the siege of the four, after struggling to shoot away a powerful arrow shot from the sky. was seized by a grandmaster tiger tooth soldier and cut off his head with a knife. The head flying in the sky, the eyes were still filled with an unwilling look.

Xuan Yin didn't know when, he was already escorting Zhao Zhe. He was also deeply afraid that the other party's congenital anger would find the emperor's boss desperately. In fact, according to the terrifying combat power around Zhao Zhe, not to mention one innate, even ten or eight, they can make them have no return. The other party is an innate powerhouse, and his spiritual sense can spread for dozens of miles, how can he not know the depth?

The white-robed sage, his heart was dripping with blood, his ambition was so big, that he had disappeared without a trace. At this time, he only thought about bringing the rest of the army back safely. But at this point, if he ordered the soldiers of other countries to give up their weapons and take them as hostages, it would be difficult for him to obey, and if he did not get it right, he would be counterattacked. Fortunately, as a sage of the Mughal dynasty, he had a higher reputation than their khan. Just a few words made those elite soldiers of the Mughal dynasty willingly lay down their arms.

"Brothers, listen, if the other party gives up his weapon, he will not kill." After Zhao Zhe heard the words of the white robe, he also shouted and informed all the soldiers. Although he wanted to make his words heard by everyone in such a huge battlefield, he couldn't be as heavy as the white-robed sage. But it can be barely done.

It's just that as soon as Zhao Zhe's words came out, even the Rakshasa soldiers who were retreating while fighting in front of them could understand Chinese. They all quickly dropped their weapons and raised their hands above their heads. Not only that, but they were also chirping and shouting in their native dialect for their companions to drop their weapons. For a time, the people who rushed to the front line couldn't find half of them with weapons in their hands.

The soldiers of Da Zhao don't care, anyway, those who don't have weapons will be captured, and those who have weapons will be killed. After the commotion, after more than half an hour, Zhao Zhe's army captured an unknown number of people, and those who could escape basically escaped. After keeping his promise and slowly withdrawing from the opponent's camp, he marched slowly for more than ten miles. This allowed the puppet army to arrive at the front, sending out a large number of scouts to prevent the enemy from counterattacking.

At this time, the sky was already cloudy. At the same time as the army was ordered to rest, the number of prisoners began to be counted. It took another day and a night to sum up all the losses and captures this time. And after a full day of rest, the soldiers who had already reached the limit returned to their vigorous state. Because of the experience of a hearty battle, it is the winning side again. So the morale is high, and the momentum is far higher than before. Can't wait to do it again.

The casualty statistics between the various armies were placed in front of Zhao Zhe, Rao was mentally prepared, and it also made Zhao Zhe's expression stagnant, and his face was extremely solemn. In total, more than 54,700 people died, and about 50,000 were seriously injured and countless were lightly injured. Although some of those seriously injured can recover and return to the army, some are disabled, and even after recovering from their injuries, they can only engage in some professions such as instructors, and most importantly, the 50,000 seriously injured will die one after another, and in the end, two-thirds of them can survive, which is already a very good thing. The proportion of battle losses is almost one-fifth. You know, this is the most precious elite of Da Zhao.

The number of kills, the situation is unknown. But Zhao Zhe is confident that in this kind of raid rear war. With the elite of himself and others, the opponent's battle losses are definitely far greater than those of Da Zhao. Even Zhao Zhe's most ace army group lost 100,000 in the end under the sneak attack, and it is no wonder that the coalition army can be better. Although it is not known how many people were killed by the other party for the time being, the number of prisoners is far more than the estimated 300,000.

Because of the collapse of the morale of the other party, I heard that I was able to sign up for dropping weapons and surrendering. Many of the troops, who had dropped their weapons without orders, raised their hands and surrendered because there was no hope of escape. In the end, all the captives added up to 430,000. There is no doubt that this is an unprecedented victory, a magnificent victory that even Zhao Zhe did not expect. With this group of prisoners in hand, Zhao Zhe had every reason to believe that the number of the other party would definitely not be more than that of the Great Zhao army.

With the same number of people, Zhao Zhe would be afraid that the coalition army would have ghosts. Even if he fought a field battle on the plains, Zhao Zhe was more than ninety percent sure of victory. However, peace talks are a must. Although they had the advantage this time, the enemy still had an army of 1 million or hundreds of thousands. If you have to bite hard, fight some kind of annihilation war. It's too worthless for Da Zhao, first, because he wants to annihilate so many people, Da Zhao will have to pay a great price, killing and wounding countless troops. Second, after destroying all the enemies, where can I go to compensate for the battle damage?

The two sides agreed to negotiate peace in the Central Plains with a limit of 100 people.

Zhao Zhe unceremoniously brought the three congenitals to show off their might, and also brought Yang Dingshan, Shaolin Wuxiang, and Shen Canghao, the magic gate, who is the elite of the tiger tooth and the golden eagle. The lineup of the 100 people who went can be called perverted. Three innate and ninety-seven grandmaster-level powerhouses.

The other party dispatched a congenital, more than a dozen grandmasters, and the rest, that is, a strong person of about one grade. The lineups of the two sides are not half a star. Although he was already mentally prepared, after seeing the people on Zhao Zhe's side. The white-robed sage couldn't help but stagnate, worried that he wouldn't talk badly, and the other party would destroy him completely, right?

When his strength was not as good as that of others, the white-robed sage had no choice but to bite the bullet and greet Zhao Zhe in Chinese: "Your Excellency, I admit that the military operation of our allied forces has failed, and now I ask Da Zhao to get out of the way and let us go back." From now on, I can swear in the name of the Sage that in the future, our Mughal Dynasty will never have any unfavorable behavior towards Da Zhao. If you wish, you can form an alliance and advance and retreat together. ”

Zhao Zhe, who was wearing a mask, listened to him very calmly. Then, he shrugged his shoulders and chuckled: "Gu Xiyu, I can't imagine that there are more domineering people in this world than you." ”

Gu Xiyu's face turned dark: "Hmph, I stood here so decently and didn't provoke you, who was domineering?" ”

"This is Miss Gu of the Nine Heavens Xuannu Palace, right? In Lower Osgrad, a Mughal native, one of the Shia elders of the Holy Church. A hundred years ago, I also met Senior Sister Ren in Xia and was invited to visit the Xuannu Palace. Who wants to think that in a hundred years, it is like a snap of a finger, and it is already a thing and a person. At this point, there was a real trace of regret on that Osgrad's face.

"Do you know my senior sister?" Gu Xiyu also exclaimed.

"Less pull relations." Zhao Zhekou interrupted: "The coalition led by you Mughals invaded my Great Zhao for no reason and killed my soldiers. How can you admit defeat and withdraw casually? From now on, what else can I say about Da Zhao? ”

"Your Excellency Zhao Zhe is really as rumored, his bravery is unparalleled, and the Huya Army under his command is the first elite of Great Zhao." Osgrad flattered, and at the same time said with a wry smile: "We are just deceived by others, thinking that Da Zhao is ambitious and wants to annex the surrounding countries. I had to take action and take the initiative to defend. However, since we admit that we have lost the war, we will not be compensated for the compensation we should give. Even if you want to, it is estimated that His Excellency Zhao Zhe and Zhen Guogong will not agree. This is a list of what we are willing to compensate, and I would like to ask you to look at it. ”

Zhao Zhe didn't want to reveal his identity, but took it lightly and handed it over to Yang Dingshan.

Yang Dingshan coughed a few times and checked the compensation list. Rao was based on his sophistication, and he couldn't help but feel slightly happy. But fortunately, he is not a person who can really call the shots, so he is busy pretending to be kind and making a kind appearance: "King Zhao, uh, General Zhao, please refer to it together." ”

Zhao Zhe took the list, and saw that the first item on it was written that as war reparations, the coalition countries were willing to pay 20 million taels of gold to redeem these trapped and captured soldiers. Admittedly, that's an incredibly large price. This price is already equivalent to two to three years of Da Zhao's taxes. In addition, there is a second one, who is willing to marry Her Royal Highness the Mughal princess to Emperor Yongtai of the Great Zhao. Third, as a dowry for the princess, the Mughal was willing to hand over a vein of spirit stone ore that had just been explored to Zhao Zhe. Of course, at the same time, there were at least tens of millions of taels worth of gold and silver jewels as the princess's dowry. The last one, which is the most exaggerated, they actually drew the entire Turpan Kingdom and incorporated it into the Great Zhao.

This is really not a small hand. I have to admit that even Zhao Zhe is extremely moved, no wonder Yang Dingshan is happy. However, in Zhao Zhe's view, this Osgrad is obviously not simply trying to make peace. In fact, he wanted to use a lot of money and princesses to curry favor with Da Zhao, after all, after this war, Da Zhao's strength has been fully demonstrated, once Da Zhao is really ambitious, I am afraid that it is not something that the Mughal Dynasty can contend with.

"Yang Gong, General Zhao. If Da Zhao can promise us the Mughal Alliance, our Mughal Dynasty will send envoys to pay tribute every year, guaranteeing that the value is not less than 10 million taels of Da Zhao's price. After seeing Zhao Zhe and Yang Dingshan's faces, Osgrad also breathed a sigh of relief. You know, this price is already the limit he gave, the reason why he is so happy, Guy is not stingy and offends these two, it is better to generously let the other party cut off a large piece of meat, although it hurts to cut the meat, but it is better than the annihilation of the Mughal Dynasty. What's more, Osgrad is also testing whether Da Zhao has the ambition to eat the surrounding countries. If he really has this kind of ambition, even if he immediately abandons everyone to break through, he will pass the news to the Holy Sect. When the time comes, it will not be such a simple matter for the Holy Religion Organization to dispatch people. But the Holy Sect dispatched the stakes, and the stakes were too important, and those guys in the West became more and more restless because of the sharpness of the muskets and artillery. At such a time, if you wage a holy war against the East, you will not be able to profit from it.

"Turpan is merged into my Da Zhao?" Zhao Zhe raised his eyebrows and said: "If this one is replaced, what are we going to do in a barren Western Regions?" And it's still an enclave, and it can't be defended. Will the Great Wall be built in the Western Regions? We, the Great Zhao people, don't live in the Huahua World with a suitable climate in the Central Plains, and can we still go to the Western Regions enclave to live? This one was exchanged for twenty million taels of gold, or its equivalent. ”

Hearing Zhao Zhe's words, Osgrad was not angry but happy. It can be seen that Da Zhao doesn't seem to have much idea about expanding his territory. However, this matter still needs to be pondered. Unconsciously said tentatively: "General Zhao, why don't you assign the Wara Kingdom, or this Wusizang to Da Zhao?" 20 million taels, I really can't make it up. Although none of the countries he mentioned belong to the Mughals. But if he really made up his mind to give it to Da Zhao and seek peace, the selected countries and regions would not be qualified to oppose it at all. Otherwise, Mughals, Rakshasas, and Da Zhao join forces, and if you don't give it, you have to give it. But by doing so, Osgrad was obviously sacrificing the interests of his allies to win the favor of Da Zhao.

"Osgrad, I, Zhao Zhe, respect you as a congenital strongman. You don't have to take an inch. Wu Si Zang, originally nominally dedicated to my Da Zhao. In this rebellion, Da Zhao's army will naturally go to liquidation. As for the country of Warat, what do I want to do in that distant steppe? Do you want me to take the Huya Army to graze? Zhao Zhe stared at him like an idiot: "Twenty million taels of gold is worth a single point." ”

"Da Zhao is going to liquidate Wu Sizang?" Osgrad asked casually after being stunned for a moment.

"Nonsense, Wu Sizang usually respects my Da Zhao and considers himself a vassal country. In the end, he was the same as Nu'er Gandusi, and made our Da Zhao opposed. Where does this make our face Da Zhao? Zhao Zhe looked angry: "Hmph, Wu Sizang, it is bound to be completely destroyed by my Da Zhao like Nu'er Gandusi." Otherwise, where does this bad breath come from? ”

Osgrad was silent on the surface, but in his heart he pondered. He also has a deep study of Da Zhao's culture and knows that this is an extremely good-looking nation. For the sake of a little face, a lot of other things can be sacrificed. But this also expresses from the side why Da Zhao hates the Houjin Kingdom so much, and then destroys it and then is happy.

"General Zhao, in order to compensate for Da Zhao's losses this time, I, the Mughal Dynasty and the Rakshasa Kingdom, am willing to help Da Zhao send troops to attack the Tatar State together. The Tatar state is the northern part of Great Zhao and should be an ideal land. "Osgrad, keep trying.

"Don't land all day long, we are not interested in the broken place of the Tatar Kingdom, and the Tatar Kingdom is already an ally of our Great Zhao. What we want is gold and silver. Of course, I have one more strings attached. Your defeated country must gather two million young men to enter the territory of our Great Zhao to serve as servants, and they may be allowed to be replaced once every five years. and their food and expenses must be paid for by your nations. Zhao Zhe's voice was very cold, and he put forward another condition.

"Two million young adults?" Osgrad looked a little bad.

"Nonsense, you are willing to assign a country to me Da Zhao. What is just two million young people, compared to being sent out, Turpan, Warat and other countries are probably still willing to gather some people to come out. I don't care which country you come from, we only need two million young and strong laborers. Zhao Zhe said murderously: "Of course, you can also choose not to give, but I can also choose to lead the army to get it." ”

"Give, give." Osgrad really put his mind at ease this time, judging that this Da Zhao had little ambition to expand the land. Even the Tatar states, which offended them hard enough, could eventually become allies and had no interest in the Tatar lands. The reason why Houjin was destroyed is probably because of the problem of face. After all, the Jianzhou Jurchen clan, the predecessor of the Later Jin Kingdom, can be regarded as dependent on the existence of Great Zhao. As for the population of two million, and an additional twenty million taels of gold, it would be a great struggle for the nations. But if you can eliminate the hatred of Da Zhao, and like the Tatar state, you will become an ally of Da Zhao in turn, everything will still be worth it.
