The reason why Louis Alexander led the main force to fight the Ming army was because he knew that the Utrecht Treaty had been signed and came into effect, and before the war officially began, he tested the British through channels. Although the British commander Viscount Nicholson did not explicitly oppose or support it, he also showed a ignorant attitude.

It was precisely this attitude that Louis Alexander decided to solve the Ming Empire first. He did not want a powerful empire to be on the edge of the French colony. What's more, according to the information, the Ming Empire's expansion in North America seemed to be related to the permission of Queen Anne of the UK. Once the Ming Empire gained its foothold in North America, how could the French, who had fought for more than ten years of war with the British for the North American colony, not worrying that these two powerful enemies would join forces and completely expel the French from this land.

For the interests and future of the French Empire, Louis Alexander had to kill this potential possibility to avoid endless troubles. However, he never expected that the British who were hiding the treaty would tear up the treaty at this time and brazenly launched another war. You must know that the treaty was only a few months from the signing to its effectiveness!

In such a short time, the British made such a move. How could it not make Louis Alexander furious. He cursed Nicholson, a bastard. As a nobleman, did he even want the glory of the noble?

But at the same time, Louis Alexander also knew that the British had now tore up the treaty and launched military operations against New France. If he continued to lead the main force to fight the Ming army, if the British succeeded, it would have serious consequences for New France.

What is even more terrifying is that if the British and the Ming Empire united, the French's military advantage would no longer exist. Perhaps by then, the great French Empire would lose everything in North America, and Louis Alexander, he, became the sinner of France.

Thinking of this, Louis Alexander even had the urge to return to the army to rescue immediately, but as an excellent commander and politician, he knew that he should never panic at this time, because the current French coalition was still fighting with the Ming army. If he retreated immediately, the Ming army would inevitably notice something. If the Ming army learned the truth and took advantage of the French army's retreat and joined forces with the British to come from behind, there would also be serious consequences.

So Louis Alexander had to resolve the Ming Empire before retreating and rescue. Of course, this so-called solution and previous solution were completely different concepts. He first had to quell the war with the Ming army and reach an agreement to ensure stability in the rear before leaving.

After careful consideration, Louis Alexander hurriedly recruited senior officers in the French army to discuss and quickly came up with countermeasures. On the one hand, the French army was ready to withdraw at any time, while on the other hand, they sent envoys to contact the Ming army opposite and released information about the peace talks to the other side.

At dusk that day, Ma Changbao received a peace talks from the French envoy. When he first heard this news, Ma Changbao even thought he had heard it wrong. Although the Ming army once again defended the defense line in the war the day before yesterday and gave the enemy the worst casualties since the war started, the Ming army suffered heavy casualties in this battle. Not only did the battle hurt thousands of people, but even the cavalry troops who were the main attackers were injured and half of them were injured.

These casualties can be said to be difficult for the Ming army to bear. Ma Changbao knew that once he continued to fight, he could not guarantee that the Ming army would withstand several attacks next.

Moreover, after the cavalry returned, he also brought him an important news, that is, the strength of the French Dragoons. The attack power of the French reinforcement cavalry unit that he had been paying attention to was a bit surprising. If it weren't for the Ming cavalry's retreating early and the troops behind the palace used the Flang aircraft to cover it, the cavalry units would probably not have come back at all.

Such a powerful opponent made Ma Changbao even more worried. On the one hand, he sent Pan Mengyuan urgently for help again, and on the other hand, he consolidated the front line again overnight, and even he himself was ready to die for his country in the next battle.

But Ma Changbao never expected that the French army did not launch another attack the next day, which was not surprising. After all, the French coalition suffered a lot of losses. However, on the third day, the Ming army, who was waiting for the troops, still did not wait for the opponent's attack. Instead, at dusk that day, an envoy representing the supreme commander of the French coalition, and the news brought by this envoy was actually negotiation.

"General, it seems that we were a little scared to teach these guys a lesson on the battlefield the day before yesterday!" A regiment commander said excitedly, even forgot the pain of the wound on his body.

"I guess so, our cavalry did a good job this time, but unfortunately we couldn't rush into the opponent's camp at that time, otherwise we might have won the battle." Another captain said happily.

Facing the excitement of his subordinates, Ma Changbao did not think so. He had talked to Lu Li on the battlefield, including after returning. Although he knew that the sneak attack had achieved great results, the Faspisian coalition did not injure him.

Moreover, according to Lu Li, the French army's strength was indeed well-known. He originally thought that he could bring cavalry to overturn the opponent, and even had better luck in killing the generals in front of the formation. However, after the attack began, the French responded immediately. The two Frenchmen who had not completed the formation were ready to die and took the initiative to face the charge of the cavalry, using their bodies and flesh to try to block the footsteps of the Ming cavalry.

Of course, their final result was obvious. In the face of powerful cavalry, these unorganized soldiers were almost vulnerable, but because of the appearance of these soldiers, the French gave the French a precious ten minutes. In these short ten minutes, the panicked French quickly completed the confrontation and launched a counterattack.

Lu Li said that he was not helpful to continue charging based on the battlefield judgment. Facing the French army that had been arranged, the cavalry no longer had an advantage, so he issued an order to retreat immediately. The result afterwards also confirmed the correctness of his order. If the Ming cavalry was not running fast, if the French dragoons were entangled, and with the infantry troops of the French coalition, perhaps, except for some people arranged in the palace behind the temple, all other cavalry units, including himself, would have to be explained on the battlefield.

"No need to mention anything else." Ma Changbao glanced at everyone present with his eyes. These people were his most trusted subordinates. He said word by word: "Now the French are proposing negotiations, do we need to accept it?"
