Of course, Alfred didn't expect Xiao Letian to negotiate directly with him. The difference in status was too great, and what he just said was just a bargain.
A marquis is a famous general in the Chinese ethnic group, known as one of the Four Heavenly Kings, and his status as a marquis is really condescending compared to a little viscount like himself.
Standing on the roof, Alfred looked at the approaching boat, surrounded by French cavalry who were eyeing them. Some in the crowd couldn't help but want to raise their guns, but the commander around them quickly suppressed them.
"Everyone stop it... If the Chinese dare to come to negotiate, there must be a large number of sharpshooters ambushing them... No one is allowed to act rashly without orders..."
The boat stopped on the water five meters away from Alfred. Two dragon guards used their oars to push against the outer wall of the building. With just the strength of their two arms, the boat was as stable as a mountain in the turbulent flood.
Luo Huo took a glance and found that the arms of the two dragon guards were not that thick. They did not have as many strong muscles as ordinary martial arts practitioners. However, it was really scary that such thin arms could have such great strength!
"Master of internal skills?" Luo Huo asked subconsciously, but the two dragon guards just smiled and said nothing.
Along with Luo Huo came the translators who accompanied the army, and Alfred also had specially allocated Chinese translators. The two sides began negotiations before the battle across the flood.
Alfred was the first to speak, "General, are you here to negotiate? Do you want to talk about surrender? I can assure you that as long as you put down your arms, I will give you the noble treatment you have earned, and you will not be aggrieved at all!" "
"Hahaha... Surrender? Are you dreaming? The Chinese only die in battle and never surrender!"
"Then what are you doing here? What do we have to talk about?" Alfred shrugged!
"I came here just to see that you suffered too many casualties, and I hope you can retreat... As long as you retreat now, we can forget about it and give up the pursuit!" Luo Huo said proudly.
"Hahaha...give up the pursuit? You still want to pursue us with your small strength? Arrogant!"
"Oh? Are we arrogant? Haha... If I remember correctly, you had at least 10,000 troops when you came. This is the strength of an integrated division!"
"How many are left now? Three thousand or four thousand? The battle damage is more than 60%. Do you have the nerve to laugh at our arrogance? We can kill five or six thousand of you with only one thousand defenders. Do you think we have the capital to be arrogant? "
Alfred was furious at the time, "That's because you are shameless and despicable! You actually blew up the river embankment, and you launched an inhumane attack on civilians. This is a heinous crime against humanity!"
"Fart!" Luo Huo glared and cursed, "You attacked Belgium without declaring war and attacked the small town of Syny in the middle of the night. How many civilians did you kill?"
"In terms of shamelessness, you are the first to be despicable and shameless. We are just following your example!"
"Look at the corpses floating in the flood. Just a moment ago they were your comrades-in-arms, your brothers. They also have parents, wives and children, and they also have their own homes in France!"
"But now we are separated by yin and yang and can no longer see each other. We have already been beaten to this point. Don't you know how to stop? Do you hope that the remaining thousands of brothers will never be able to return home?"
Luo Huo began to incite the morale of local soldiers, and began to use casualties and returning home to undermine the enemy's morale. Sure enough, when the translator loudly said General Luo Huo's original words in French, there were indeed many enemy soldiers in the crowd. People change color.
In fact, no matter how elite the legion is or how militant the veteran is, as long as he is not a psychopath, they will all have the same emotions as normal people.
Parents, wives and children, their desire to live is stronger than ordinary people!
Yes, the battle damage has exceeded 60%, do we still want to continue fighting?
People have turned their attention to Alfred!
The French commander keenly noticed the different atmosphere. When he saw something bad, he immediately responded loudly and said, "You don't need to provoke our military morale. As you said, we have lost 60% of the battle, but the remaining soldiers There are still more than you!”
"Your Gatling is out of ammunition, right? With such a huge flood, where is your *?*? I'm afraid they've all been used up a long time ago!"
"What do you want to talk about when we run out of ammunition and food? Sorry, I will talk to you slowly after I capture Xiao Letian!"
"To tell you the truth, I still have four thousand elite soldiers. When the flood recedes, I can annihilate you! Don't expect the Belgians to come to rescue. This flood drowned my soldiers and also flooded the Belgian rescue road. !”
"As long as I guarantee a strength of five to one, I can defeat you even with a saber!"
"Go back, there is nothing left to talk about! If you can't solve the problem with your mouth, then use a knife to solve it!"
Luo Huo really didn't expect this commander to be so tough. He looked at him for more than ten seconds before asking, "Okay, okay... Since you are determined to fight, we are not afraid of you!"
"When it comes to hand-to-hand combat, we Chinese are never afraid of anyone! But before I leave, I think we should be qualified to know who we are fighting with!"
"Tell me the name and number of your troops, and let me see which French army can be so elite!"
Upon hearing Luo Huo's question, countless officers in the French army puffed up their chests proudly, "The Queen's Cavalry Regiment of the Praetorian Guard... the Prince of Algeria's Garrison of the Praetorian Guard... the cavalry battalion directly under the direct command of His Majesty the Emperor..."
One number after another was reported, and Luo Huo understood as soon as he heard it. It turned out that he was an elite member of the Guards of Napoleon III. No wonder he was so powerful.
"Okay, okay... It's my honor to fight against the Imperial Guards. When you all die in battle, I will erect a sculpture to commemorate you! Farewell..." After speaking, Luo Huo ordered the boat to turn around.
These French big noses were all going crazy. "You should be the ones who died in the battle! We will build tombstones for you people here! By God, we swear that we will annihilate you all!"
The negotiation broke up unhappily, and Luo Huo returned to the city wall and reported everything. When Xiao Letian heard the numbers of these troops, he suddenly understood.
"I see... It seems that I have found the answer to the question... I see..."
"When the battle begins, Dragon Guards...you capture a few more high-ranking nobles alive. I want to interrogate them personally..."
"Yes..." The four silent dragon guards leaders nodded and took a step back, standing in the shadows again.
Luo Huo rubbed his hands and said, "There are four thousand enemies. This battle seems to be a bad one! I apply to command the commando team, or I will lead a counterattack now..."
"Don't really wait for their ship to arrive. First eliminate the French troops trapped on the rooftops in the east of the city. Kill a few, but it's better..."
Xiao Letian waved his hand, "This battle is actually over... From the moment the flood separated us from the enemy, we have already won!"
"I got the most critical time. As long as there is enough time, my backup will be endless!"
