The Tatars' greatest hope now was that the White Army would accede to their request for negotiations. Their only reliance, the artillery battalion and chariot battalion of the White Army, did not catch up. It is unlikely that the Musketeers would have broken through the Tatar defenses by relying solely on the musketeers. The Tatars' riding and archery skills are not given for nothing. As a result, the two Tatar tribes sent their own negotiating envoys to the White Army.

Why did two different tribes send negotiating emissaries to the White Army? This is because Eyudun's resentment towards Helkin is even deeper. After the battle, he secretly swore that he would never listen to Helekin again. As for how to get a glimmer of life from the hands of the white-clothed army, Eyudun decided to make his own decisions and never be influenced by anyone else.

For Eduun's actions, Hellergin only had a default share. Now he no longer has the strength to make irresponsible remarks about Eyudun. If he is too coercive and makes a bad fuss, he will take refuge in the white-clothed army on the spot and chase him down. This kind of thing is not without precedent. For the time being, the white-clothed army does not have the strength to pursue the lair of the Helkin tribe on a large scale, but it is possible for Eyudun to do so. If Eyudun volunteered to become the killer of the white-clothed army, Xu Xingxia might accept it. This has always been Hellerkin's worst-case scenario.

Xu Xingxia did not participate in the pursuit of the Tatar cavalry. He, Yu Lijun and others were in the rear barracks, listening to reports on the battle. Preliminary statistics show that the number of Tartars killed and wounded in this battle was at least more than four thousand. Together with some of the Tartars whose bodies could not be found, there may have been about four thousand five hundred. Basically, it is certain that this battle has completely broken the backbone of the Hellerkin tribe. The Eyudun tribe, who went south with Helekin, should have also suffered a fatal blow.

The casualty figure of the White Coats is about 150 people. Of these, about sixty died. Among them, the wolf cavalry led by Zhang Feng had the largest number of casualties, with a total of more than 30 people killed. Zhang Feng himself was also seriously injured and in a coma, and he is still being rescued, whether he can be rescued or not, Dong Langzhong is not absolutely sure. Xu Xingxia had already ordered the best medicine to be transferred from the rear in order to rescue Zhang Feng.

In terms of weapons and equipment, the white-clothed army probably lost more than a dozen moon guns, ten side vans, and fifteen trebuchets. Among them, the moon gun is basically damaged by people, and after being sent back to the craftsman's workshop for repair, it should be able to continue to be used. As for the side van, it was brutally damaged. Trebuchets are mechanically damaged due to high-intensity work. After the craftsmen replaced a few parts that were prone to wear and tear, they were able to continue using them.

Among the casualty figures of the White Coats, it is necessary to mention some special people, those who died with explosives bags and Tartar cavalry. Xu Xingxia personally counted the list of these people and found that there were seventeen in total. Indeed, they were all slaves who had been freed by the Tartars, and had just joined the army. They all volunteered to go up with explosives bags and play with the Tartars, and they didn't receive orders from anyone. Some even defended themselves against the dissuasion of the officers.

"Dog's Tartar, I'll play with them!" According to other people's recollections, this is the phrase that was most spoken by those slave-turned-soldiers. To be sure, their hatred of the Tartars has reached a point where it is about to explode. When the Tartar cavalry raged and tried to break through, their anger was completely detonated.

Muskets, waist knives, bows and arrows were no longer enough to meet the desperate demands of them and the Tartars, and only a fifty-pound bag of explosives was the most suitable. They all knew that as long as the explosive package exploded, at least ten Tartars could be pulled to the bottom. That's really enough for them. These people have long been left without care, and their relatives have long been killed by the Tartars. Being able to take ten Tartars on the road together is also a beautiful scenery.

The other slave-born soldiers also said that if they encountered such a situation, they would not hesitate in the slightest. Because, they absolutely could not bear it, and for the second time fell into the hands of the Tartars. As long as there is the slightest opportunity to drag more Tartars to accompany the burial, they will not miss it. What is sacrificing oneself? As long as their sacrifice is worth it, they will not hesitate to choose to sacrifice.

"Okay!" For the behavior of such people, Xu Xingxia neither encouraged nor denied, but silently ordered to collect all their relics as much as possible and build a tomb for them. At the same time, he also specially ordered that a stone tablet be erected in the Montenegrin camp for these seventeen people, on which their names and their deeds were clearly written. Every soldier who joins the White Army has to learn their heroic deeds in front of this stone tablet.

In fact, as the firearms of the white-clothed army gradually became stronger and more fully equipped, this kind of tragic fighting method was no longer necessary. However, as a fighting spirit, such a way of fighting, such a heroic figure, it must be remembered by all the soldiers of the White Army. Xu Xingxia hopes that all the white-clothed soldiers will understand that at the most critical moment, if they sacrifice themselves to protect other companions, they must sacrifice without hesitation!

......, "Your Excellency, the Tartars have sent a request for negotiations. Chi Hu and Zhang Quanfu, who were in charge of the front-line command, soon sent someone to report to Xu Xingxia, saying that it was the Tatars who asked for negotiations. They also briefly explained what the Tartars asked to negotiate. At the same time, they mentioned that due to the lack of support from artillery battalions and tank battalions, in a short time it would be difficult for them to break through the large battalions of the Tartars. A simple musket is no problem in terms of attack, but if you want to attack head-on, it is still a little weak.

"Bai Sven! Come here! Xu Xingxia pondered for a moment, and then suddenly shouted.

"What do you command?" A tall and thin middle-aged man hurriedly appeared beside Xu Xingxia. This guy is called Bai Siwen, and he was introduced by Wang Qinian. He was originally a gangster in Ningxia City, a pure Sven scum. Since he has no proper occupation and no stable source of income, this Bai Siwen dares to take any kind of work. Wang Qinian's Jinyiwei needs some people who are of three religions and nine streams to do some unsightly work. This Bai Siwen is a line under Jinyiwei, which is directly under the jurisdiction of Wang Qinian.

At the beginning, the rumors about the Tartars going south were spread by this Bai Siwen. This guy's ability to do dirty work is indeed very strong. With enough money, he can do things even more beautifully than you think. In the past, this guy relied on his three-inch tongue to eat in Ningxia City. Because he has no money, he often tries his best to eat overlord meals, and once he is discovered, he will definitely be beaten and thrown out half to death. has the opportunity to join the White Army and earn a stable amount of money, Bai Siwen is certainly willing.

Xu Xingxia called Bai Siwen over, and he was ready to negotiate with the Tartars. Or, maybe it's going to be with the Tartars. There is no point in continuing the battle to this point. Without the cooperation of the tank battalion and the artillery battalion, a simple musket team would not have been able to completely annihilate the Tartars, let alone capture their important people. Killing a few ordinary Tartars didn't mean much to Xu Xingxia.

For the time being, the white-clothed army does not have the strength to march into the prairie. This time, it was the Tatar cavalry who took the initiative to attack, and the guns of the white-clothed army could maximize their power. Once it is reversed, it is the turn of the white-clothed army to take the initiative to attack, and the Tartar cavalry will definitely play hide-and-seek with the white-clothed army, and will definitely not do the stupid thing of frontal attack again. With the current strength of the white-coated army, it is obvious that it will not be able to cope with the guerrilla warfare of the Tartar cavalry. Since there is no strength to counterattack, now it can only temporarily stabilize the front and buy more time for the development of the white-clothed army.

What do the whites need most now? It's time, of course. It takes time to gather more labor, and it takes time to produce more materials. Not to mention anything else, just by adding one day, the white-clothed army can increase thirty more moon guns. As long as the White Army is given a year, the number of musketeers in the White Army can be expanded to at least 10,000 or more. These 10,000 people are still pure musketeers, not including all auxiliaries or other troops.

What is the purpose of the negotiations? In addition to buying enough time, you can also get more benefits from the Tartars. Obtaining benefits through negotiation is definitely not a stopgap measure, but a long-term perspective. Getting benefits from the Tartars not only strengthens the white-clothed army, but also weakens the Tartars, which is a double thing. The ability of the Tartars themselves to make materials is very weak, and without external support, they are all very sad, and if they suck away the wealth they have, their children will be even more sad.

Xu Xingxia said to Bai Siwen succinctly: "You go and tell the leader of the Tartars that they want to withdraw smoothly, you can." However, they had to agree to some of my conditions. Otherwise, they just wait to continue the pain! ”

Bai Siwen eagerly agreed.

"My lord, here we are!" Soon, Bai Siwen brought relevant news. This guy is indeed eating by mouth, and the negotiation messenger of the Tartars, in front of him, basically has no chance to speak and justify. If it weren't for this kind of negotiation on the battlefield, affected by the situation, there would generally not be much room for bargaining, otherwise, Bai Siwen's incorruptible tongue could continue to talk endlessly for ten days and half a month. As a result, the envoys of the two sides soon established basic contacts, and the tone of the negotiations was also set. As the winner, Xu Xingxia is qualified to make the first conditions.

"First condition, send Tesna to me!"

"The second condition is to send back all the Han slaves!"

"The third condition, each tribe will give the white-clothed army 100,000 taels of silver as compensation!"

These are the three conditions put forward by Xu Xingxia. The first condition is to drain the spiritual beliefs of the Tartars. That so-called Tesna can actually make the Tartar cavalry charge without fear of death, such a woman must be very terrible and must be eliminated. Religious belief is sometimes more troublesome, and when necessary, it can only be eliminated from the **. As for the second and third conditions, there is nothing special about them.

These three conditions are not difficult for Tartars to do. Article 2, in particular, cannot be considered a condition at all. The thirty or forty thousand Han slaves left in the Helkin tribe were already in his Xu Xingxia's pocket early on. As for the third one, it is not very difficult. A huge tribe of Tatars, 100,000 taels of silver can still be easily taken out. If it weren't for the lack of speed, Xu Xingxia would have doubled that number.

"We promise! All conditions are agreed! "Eyudun made a wise choice. Of the three conditions mentioned by Xu Xingxia, the second has nothing to do with him. There are no Han slaves in the Edun tribe, and they are all sins created by the Helkin tribe. As for the first one, there is a little bit of a relationship, and it is not very close. Because, Tesna is currently residing in the Hellergin tribe. If there is to arrest someone, it is also the Tatars of the Kylgin tribe who are responsible for arresting people.

As for the stock of 100,000 taels of silver, he still has it. If you don't even have 100,000 taels of silver, how can you form a team of 4,000 people? Although it would be quite painful and reluctant to take out 100,000 taels of silver, for the sake of his own future, Eyudun would definitely not spare these silver. If the life is gone, what is the use of more silver? Such a basic truth, Eyudun will not forget.

"Deal!" Xu Xingxia said briskly.

Since the Eyudun tribe agreed to the conditions of the white-clothed army, the white-clothed army naturally generously let them go. Of course, it is impossible for a tartar to carry gold and silver wealth with him, and it is impossible to pay for a hundred thousand taels of silver on the spot. However, as long as Eyudun wrote down an IOU and signed a pledge, the white-clothed army was not afraid that they would repay their debts. Anyway, the serious consequences of defaulting on the debts must be clear to E.

The departure of the Tatar cavalry of the Edun tribe made the Khairkin tribe even weaker. It is estimated that there are less than a thousand Khalegin tribe Tatars who escaped. The stragglers of the Eagle Cavalry were not stupid, and after the Tartar cavalry of the Eyudun tribe withdrew, they immediately blocked the retreat of the Khalegin tribe and surrounded them all.

"This damn bastard! This damn Eduun! Knowing that Eyudun agreed to the conditions offered by the white-clothed army without thinking, Hellergin couldn't help but scold. The embattled Hellegin now has no other way but to scold the streets. Of course, he can also continue to curse, curse Xu Xingxia, and curse Edu. This damn Edun actually abandoned himself at the most critical time. Hellerkin didn't realize that it was he who pulled the other party into the water, and now the other party is gone, and it is just a report and a report.
