For a while, people were screaming and horses were screaming. The forward of the cavalry fell to the ground one by one, twitching or struggling, like grass that had been cut down.

The strikers all fell, and the team that followed them didn't know what was going on and was still rushing forward. They were greeted by a lightning-fast rain of arrows. And behind them, countless cavalrymen who couldn't figure out the situation were still struggling to advance with shouts.

It was a one-sided slaughter! Almost all the Tempest Warriors who rushed into the range of the "Legend of Death" were spared. The piercing bolts often pass through the bodies of six or seven men or horses in a row before stopping, completely ignoring their armor. Therefore, the killing efficiency is particularly high. Moreover, Luo Ming consciously ordered the troops to get closer, and they waited until the forward of the Wind Warrior rushed to a distance of about seven or eight meters in front of them before they began to release their arrows, in order to maximize the damage. Regarding the guiding ideology of this battle, Luo Ming said: We must fight them at one time so that they will be afraid of it for many years, and they will never dare to easily make any bad intentions against us. So, how to hurt and how to fight.

The experienced Jiang Tengjiao had long wanted to show his skills, so he specially withdrew all the workers and let the soldiers of the Qinglong Flying Tigers wear the workers' clothes to lure the enemy to rush and kill without any scruples. He also set up his own team in a U-shaped pocket formation, leaving the opening for the enemy's cavalry to get as close as possible. He then set up an ambush outside the pocket formation, waiting for the enemy to retreat. This series of measures ensured that they killed people to the maximum extent possible, and carried out Luo Ming's will well.

When Ding Zhenzhong realized that he had been fooled, howled hoarsely, and wanted to withdraw the troops, it was already too late. The people in front fell too quickly, and the many people behind barely reined in their horses, and squeezed into each other, so that no one could escape. The Flying Tigers who were lying in ambush on both sides got up and dealt them another terrible blow. In the end, only a few dozen of the more than 3,000 Tempest Warriors escaped, and most of them, including the commander Ding Zhenzhong, died on the desolate meadow of the Land of Sighs. The whole battle lasted only a few minutes.

Lin Yi, who heard the news, spurted out a mouthful of blood on the spot, and was hurriedly carried by her subordinates for treatment. The Tempest Warriors, who had made their first expedition, then quietly retreated to the unknown camp in the depths of the Sunset Forest.

The negotiators of the Northern Alliance came to Black Cloud City the next morning. Under the leadership of Zhang Zongchang, a cabinet scholar and minister, they arrived at the negotiation meeting hall with pride. At the very beginning, he aggressively called the negotiator of Black Cloud City, Su Guiqing, the Shangshu of the Lifan Yuan, to release him immediately and unconditionally, otherwise, the Northern Alliance would move south again with the strength of the whole country. The Northern Alliance has abundant material reserves and a large population, and although it suffered a small loss this time, it only takes a few days to immediately recruit another 200,000 people. Do you want to try to get away with it again?

For many years, the idea that it is strong and that Black Cloud City is too weak to be weaker has been deeply ingrained in the minds of the ministers of Black Cloud City. Although Luo Ming won a war this time. But this particularly strong philosophy hasn't changed much. They will still keep their voices low in front of the envoys of the Northern Alliance, and they will not have enough confidence.

After being blackmailed by the other party, Su Guiqing felt a little weak and felt that he didn't have enough confidence to speak. I had to prepare to agree to release him unconditionally, and I had already made reparations for the losses of the Northern Union.

At this moment, Luo Ming rushed to the venue. Ignoring the dissuasion of the ministers of the DPRK and China, he insisted on breaking into the conference room, and said in a lazy and slow tone: "The little prince of your country is in my hands, the two generals are in my hands, and the army of more than 100,000 is under my control. Zhang Zongchang Master Zhang, if you want to talk, you have to talk to me, otherwise I won't release people if I say that if I don't release them, the agreement you reached doesn't count. If you think I'm not worthy of being a negotiator and don't want to talk to me, I'm a kid and maybe I won't know anything, but one thing I'm sure I will do is killing. He sat down at the negotiation table on the side of Black Cloud City, a cute smile on the corner of his mouth. Nodding and emphasizing his tone, he said, "Really, children don't tell lies." I'm almost fifteen. ”

Zhang Zongchang had heard before he came that there was a little prince in Black Cloud City who was tricky and eccentric, the most difficult, and he was a demon king who would have a headache when he saw the Buddha. They were probably referring to the kid in front of them.

Zhang Zongchang spread out his hands and looked at Su Guiqing, hoping that Su Guiqing could say something and send the child away. Su Guiqing also felt that his dignity was offended, so he said to Luo Ming with a smile: "The king's will is for the old minister to negotiate with the visiting guests of the Northern Alliance. Your Highness is not ......" He didn't say what he said later, naturally he hoped that Luo Ming would understand and leave by himself.

But Luo Ming did not have this kind of understanding and conscious attitude. He glanced at Su Guiqing, arched his fists with both hands, and said, "Master Su is hard, since you all want me to go, it's not impossible." Wait a minute, I brought a fat hand from His Royal Highness Gu Yinqi to Lord Su, maybe the negotiation will be easier and smoother. He glanced at Zhang Zongchang, whose face had turned pale, and said, "Before the negotiation, His Royal Highness Gu Yinqi was still intact. After the negotiations, His Highness was missing a hand. Presumably, Lord Zhang must have a way to explain to the king of the Northern Alliance. ”

"Uh, slow down, slow down. Zhang Zongchang had no choice but to bite the bullet and said, "Your Highness, don't be so angry. The old minister did not say that he would not talk to His Highness. It's just that, as you know, Black Cloud City has a population of less than half a million in the country, and a considerable part of it is concentrated in the outer city. Although you are lucky enough to win a game, our Northern Alliance has a lot of money and a strong foundation. There are still 400,000 troops, and conscription will be available in a few days. If you fight again, you will have no soldiers. As far as the old minister knows, at present, all the men in Black Cloud City, except for the old, weak, sick and disabled, have all been conscripted into the army, and there are no soldiers to recruit. If we continue to fight, we will have to recruit women. So I came with the sincerity of our king, with the hope of peace. Of course, such a matter will be discussed by me and the ministers whom your father believed in. ”

Luo Ming patiently waited for him to finish a paragraph before he spoke: "Since you are so powerful, just call the army directly, what are you doing here?"
