Bayan's words were heard by the soldiers around Zhang Xiaoqiang, but no one made a sound. They all looked at Zhang Xiaoqiang, waiting for him to make a decision. Although today's battle had caused them to suffer more losses than any previous battle, they still managed to repel an enemy that outnumbered them by more than ten times. Their hearts were filled with the joy of victory, and it could be said that their morale had reached its peak.
"Those women are living a bitter and miserable life … …"
Zhang Xiaoqiang sighed as he spoke. Bayan nodded his head and solemnly agreed with Zhang Xiaoqiang's words.
"Not being able to protect them is due to our incompetence … …"
Zhang Xiaoqiang's tone changed. Bayan shook his head and hurriedly spoke, as if he wanted to console Zhang Xiaoqiang.
"So, let them die. Use their blood to let me remember this hatred, and let them leave this despairing world as soon as possible … …"
Zhang Xiaoqiang's last words caused Bayan's heart to turn cold. His lips trembled, and he could not finish his sentence.
"What do you think?"
Zhang Xiaoqiang turned his head and asked Bayan. Bayan's heart became lively. He understood Zhang Xiaoqiang's meaning. Zhang Xiaoqiang did not value these women very much. Bayan did not have enough bargaining chips, and Huang Jinqi did not have enough sincerity.
At this moment, Bayan was relieved. As long as there was a discussion, there was no need to be afraid that both sides would fight to the death. Although they had enough troops, so what if they destroyed Zhang Xiaoqiang's army?
Even if Zhang Xiaoqiang's army was completely annihilated, he could turn around and gather another thousand soldiers. The Mongols would have to use ten times the number of soldiers to fight with Zhang Xiaoqiang.
At that time, they might not even have 20,000 soldiers left. They would still be without food and clothes. If they did not find another Wolf Flag before they starved to death, they would be wiped out on the prairie.
Just like Bayan's plan, Zhang Xiaoqiang was also in a difficult position. When the Golden Wolf Flag attacked, they would dig trenches and defend instead of attacking. Although this would allow them to achieve the most results with the least losses, it was not something that Zhang Xiaoqiang could afford to do. The disparity in strength was too great, and the Golden Wolf Flag had been forced to a dead end. If they were to turn around and attack, Zhang Xiaoqiang's remaining 700 soldiers would be completely annihilated.
Therefore, Zhang Xiaoqiang's strategy was to suppress the Mongols and not take the initiative to attack. He wanted to make the Mongols feel like they were being stabbed in their throats. He wanted to exhaust the last of the Mongols' resources so that they would automatically disperse. It was a good idea, but when it came to actual action, a problem arose.
The Mongols did not disperse as he had expected. Instead, they gathered together and prepared to fight to the death. As a result, Zhang Xiaoqiang's strategy could not be achieved. It became a stalemate between the two sides, and no one dared to make the first move. The only good thing was that the Mongols did not have any resources. Every minute that passed was a countdown to their final defeat.
"Sir Commander, we no longer have enough resources to compensate for your losses. It's not up to you what you plan to do. You should know that it's not easy to survive in this world. Unnecessary casualties are a waste of life …"
Bayan took the initiative to negotiate with Zhang Xiaoqiang. As a businessman, he was very familiar with this method. Although they were at a disadvantage, they still had a lot of trump cards in their hands. Both sides were equal in status.
"You have a holy spirit that can increase the abilities of evolvers. I've heard of it for a long time. Tell me the ingredients and process of making it. Also, tell me how you can detect evolvers. Of course, you have to hand over all the women. It doesn't matter if they are yours or your leader's, you have to hand them all over. Don't tell me that they are willing. They are my trophies now …"
The Gold Wolf Flag was not very valuable. Even if it was, Zhang Xiaoqiang might not be interested in it. What he needed was related to evolvers. The Qie Xue army was too powerful, and Zhang Xiaoqiang was envious of it. Although he had created a small team of evolvers, there were not many high-level evolvers. He had to get the holy water that could increase his abilities, even if he had to fight with the Mongols.
There was also a method to identify evolvers. Zhang Xiaoqiang also needed it. With this thing, he could tell who was an evolver. Not only could he find potential talents, but he could also find those hidden evolvers.
Hearing Zhang Xiaoqiang's request, Bayan was a little surprised. Only Tie Zhongyuan and the Qie Xue army knew about these things. He did not expect Zhang Xiaoqiang to know so much. Obviously, these requests were beyond his ability. He asked for Zhang Xiaoqiang's resignation and went to discuss it with Tie Zhongyuan.
The trenches and fortifications did not stop. Three IFVs were restocking ammunition, and the supply truck had also driven to the back of the camp to distribute bags of field rations to the soldiers. Charle's team was patrolling the perimeter, supervising the enemy's main force.
"Zhang Xiaoqiang, we have lost a total of 217 people, and more than 150 are injured. More than 80 of them are seriously injured, but we have already used medicine. Most of them are not in danger, but at least half of them can no longer fight. Also, we found more than 100 wolf flags that had been knocked unconscious. Also, all the injured wolf flags have been taken care of …"
Ding Ziqiang rushed over from the back and reported to Zhang Xiaoqiang about the battlefield. The victors cleaned up the battlefield, and the enemy's wounded and captives were not treated well. Zhang Xiaoqiang's soldiers were able to be treated because they had the magical life-saving pills and hemostatic powder. These medicines were difficult to provide for their own people, let alone the enemy.
The number of casualties was close to 400, which surprised Zhang Xiaoqiang. The soldiers had fought bravely, but he did not expect the number of casualties to be so high. The evolver team was completely wiped out. These people were all ordinary civilians, and the evolver who had self-destructed with the mortar was unknown to Zhang Xiaoqiang. From these people, Zhang Xiaoqiang saw the bravery of the Han people. In the face of a life and death battle, the Han people's performance was not any worse than those useless wolf flags.
"Is there anyone alive in the evolver team?
Even if they only have half a breath left … "
Zhang Xiaoqiang's heart was filled with darkness. He felt that he should not have brought these people to the battlefield so early. Perhaps it was better to let them receive systematic training, just like Yueya. After training, their combat power would increase exponentially.
"No, they were the main targets of the attack. None of them had a complete corpse, and they died a horrible death. However, the other side did not have it easy either. Half of them were taken care of by Miss Meow, and the other half were killed by Yueya and Xu Hao …"
Ding Ziqiang's heart was palpitating from the intense battle just now, and his face was pale. The Evolvers had encountered the Qie Xue Army, and they had no way of fighting back. This time, Zhang Xiao Qiang had truly miscalculated by bringing them to the battlefield.
Zhang Xiaoqiang waved his hand to dismiss Ding Ziqiang. He was in a bad mood, and he did not even want to hear about the number of weapons and ammunition they had seized. He just looked at the black mass of heads in the distance, and no one knew what he was thinking.
"Whoosh …"
A furry little thing jumped onto Zhang Xiaoqiang's shoulder, and its round head touched Zhang Xiaoqiang's cheek affectionately. Then, Meow appeared beside Zhang Xiaoqiang, leaning on his arm and looking at the sea of people in the opposite direction.
Zhang Xiaoqiang stretched out his hand and used his finger to scratch the chin of the mutated small marten on his shoulder. Looking at the small marten that was squinting its eyes, the haze in Zhang Xiaoqiang's heart was slightly relieved. He said to Meow, "My Meow has made a contribution today. What reward do you want?"
If it was Yang Ke-er, she would definitely take the opportunity to ask for something. However, Meow was not like that. Meow, who was born smart, knew what she should fight for. Hearing Zhang Xiaoqiang's words, she raised her head and stared at Zhang Xiaoqiang with her big eyes. "When can we see mom …"
"Oh, that's your mom. Don't use the word 'we' to refer to your mom. Hmm, very soon. When we get a plane, we can go back. Do you remember that you still have two cute puppies …"
As Zhang Xiaoqiang spoke to Meow in a pleasant manner, Meow pictured the two puppies that Zhang Xiaoqiang had described to her. She subconsciously thought that the two puppies were only a little bigger than the mutated mink on Zhang Xiaoqiang's shoulder.
There was movement from the crowd in the distance. More than 30 women were brought over by Bayan. When Meow saw those women who were dressed in revealing clothes, a trace of disgust flashed across her face. There was only one reason for her disgust. These women were all prettier than Yueya 'er.
Bayan brought these women in front of Zhang Xiaoqiang. First, he made a perverted expression that any man would understand. Then, he let the women behind him raise their heads and stare at Zhang Xiaoqiang. To be honest, these women were indeed not bad. Many of them were prettier than Xu Hao's wife.
The Mongolians had captured tens of thousands of women. According to the probability of one in a hundred, these women were all above average. Of course, none of them could compare to Mu Peipei. However, they were much better than Yueya 'er's classmates.
"These were collected by us, Xihuri Ao Du. We don't usually use them and only use them as decorations. They are much cleaner than others. These are all given to you by Xihuri Ao Du. As for the other two requests of the commander, although it is very difficult, for the lives of tens of thousands of people, we are willing to show our utmost sincerity. However …"
Bayan carefully glanced at Zhang Xiaoqiang. When he saw that Zhang Xiaoqiang was not paying attention to the women, he could not help but feel deeply disappointed. He forced himself to continue, "However, that is our last and most precious treasure. Xihuri Ao Du said that if we give it to you, you can still launch an attack. Our scouts saw a lot of troops 50 miles behind us. I think they are your subordinates …"
