Power and Empire Chapter 1451: In charge of Northwest (8)
"Long live! Long live your Majesty Falcon!" Outside the city, countless spears were also raised in the flames, and enthusiastic shouts came from the city, the soldiers were cheering, no one paid attention to the opposite wall of Buston The expressions of people, victory and defeat, are so different. On the city wall, the Baston people's faces are pale, each weapon slid from their hands to the ground, full of tears, and they were in the center of the enemy in the distance on the city wall. The Duke knelt down on one knee,
"Lord Duke!" A general Baston lowered his head. As a result, he knew that the old Duke, who was famous for his bravery when he was young, would have the power to fight if he was ten years younger, or would have the power to fight. Not forgiving, coupled with the troubles of keeping the body anxious for days, it may have been difficult even to swing the sword hard, but the opponent is rumored to be a strong king of the barbarian who can break the leg bones of a bison with one hand, so disparity There is only one possibility for a duel, death!
But that was the old duke’s choice to end this terrible war that lasted more than a month with his own life,
Everyone looked at the army on the northwest coast, but no one noticed that Baston, whose national strength was originally weak, was no longer able to sustain it in terms of personnel and resources after a series of failures. ,
The Baston area was originally small, 500 square kilometers, with a population of only 250,000. In the previous several battles, men who can hold weapons have been conscripted on the battlefield, and the domestic economy is completely depressed, plus The autumn grains in many areas have not been transported away, so they have to reluctantly give up or burn them. This makes the situation worse. If you continue to resist, the brutal barbarians will destroy the Baston people. I don’t know, but the Baston people will do it themselves. Crash,
duel, just for a decent surrender! How helpless such a choice is
"Crack", the huge gate of Alimenka, the capital of Gaston in the distance, is under everyone's sight. Slowly open from the inside out,
"Hurray!" The cheers were even louder. The soldiers knew that the war was over, especially the prairie cavalry who were looking forward to returning home before winter, although the prairie voice they shouted was awkward. , It's not neat, it's more like howling wolves, but the joy inside is so obvious, which is enough to prove that no matter what kind of race. The emotions when you are happy are the same, you don’t need to conceal it,
"It seems that no one wants to fight anymore!" The fat man sighed, and stepped onto the horse drawn by the guards. He touched his forehead, and there was rain falling, and the wind felt violent. , Booming. A blue lightning illuminates the distant earth,
The old Duke's body moved a bit while lying on the ground, and Ulibick stood up tremblingly, as if with an expression of disbelief. The surroundings suddenly became quiet, and tens of thousands of eyes gathered on him, regardless of whether it was foe or foe,
" Long live. Long live the old duke! "This time, the cheers come from the city wall, and it feels like an afterthought
" You didn’t lose. I didn’t win either, so I will keep my promise!" The fat man looked at him, turned his head, and suddenly ordered to the surroundings, "Have you all heard? After entering the city! No one is allowed." Loot and slaughter civilians! Otherwise, deal with it according to military law! Remember, you are warriors, not butchers!"
"Please follow your orders, King Khan!"
The fifteen prairie lords behind Fatty responded neatly and respectfully. They were very obedient and could not see the brutal style of the prairie people. Saron rolled his eyes. His Majesty Falcon’s acting skills have already To the point of perfection,
It is undeniable that this time the grassland people "Baidu ★ Meng Meng 桜 ★ Text" performed very well. In addition to executing the necessary orders, they did not harass the civilians or slaughter them as they did in the past. In fact, this is because they all eat I’m full, there’s no need to do this
They are the ones who have gained the most benefit this time. The abundance of military merit rewards made every Kujit cavalry so excited to die,
More than 40 gold coins are enough to buy a hundred sheep and a dozen of the best horses on the grassland. This is an asset that cannot be underestimated for a single family.
The heavy gold coins were pressed in each of their horse rucksacks, and the rattling sound was so pleasing to the ear. 15,000 people, that’s 600,000 gold coins, and these leaders of the team , Get more than soldiers, as a general, each of them received 10,000 gold coins of general war compensation, as well as a large amount of rewards obtained by the occupied area,
Following His Majesty King Falcon Khan, it really is a sign of a fortune. The pain of leaving home and crossing the ocean is no longer a matter. This is a wise decision. The casualties are small, the fight is heartily, and there is money to take. This kind of thing was hard to even think about before. What the soldiers considered was that they would no longer have to worry about livestock being frozen to death this winter. They could hide in a warm sheepskin tent with their family when the earth was pale. Very pleasant time,
And the generals are thinking about returning to the tribe, they can enjoy the scenery, everyone is happy, everyone earns a lot of money, the prairie cavalry from top to bottom, their faces are full of smiles, but The real gainer of the greatest benefit is naturally by relying on the prairie cavalry to completely control the fat people in the coastal area.
If you do a careful calculation, you will find that the 15,000 elite prairie cavalry spent only 150 bonuses in the entire battle on the coastline from Basta to Oach for two months. Ten thousand, 1 to 100, after careful calculation, the average value of one mile of land is less than 15,000 gold coins,
Very good deal! The fat man felt that the money was very worthwhile. The prairie cavalry was indeed a cheap, efficient, and absolutely obedient class of troops. They were given clear rewards for the leading thousand cavalry leaders, and these guys would immediately be like a chicken. As excited as the blood, and very loyal to complete the task, these bounties are naturally also from the sheep,
In the capital of Oacha, the fat man emptied a large amount of materials in Oacha as the alliance logistics warehouse, and there was as much as 700,000 gold coins in funds. In Basta, Salon obtained 300,000, and in Bangor, several This city made the fat man more than 400,000 gold coins accounted for, and the Bresse region was a little poorer, but as one of the strongest coastal countries with military power, Bresse’s heritage is not wealth, but military industry.
This is also the place that fat people value most. In Bresse, each area has an independent exercise facility, which is like a warehouse for storing weapons. The number of craftsmen who are good at forging weapons is far beyond fat people’s imagination.
There is no way, the violence factor of these Bress is too obvious. Every household has its own tradition of forging weapons.
The coming-of-age ceremony of the Brace male is to use the spear he forged to get the tail mane of a wild wolf in the wild. Such an environment has created many famous masters. If you change it to the name of the empire, then It's a great craftsman.
This wealth is the most important thing for the fat man. The military industry on the Northwest Coast now lacks most. Most of them are immigrants. The number of craftsmen is very small. Domestic craftsmen are unwilling to come. There is no military industry. It’s like a car without an engine and a human without a heart. "Baidu ★ Meng Meng 桜 ★ text" especially for the Falcon Army, which is extremely dependent on the military industry. The army needs weapons for recruiting soldiers, and it needs to build a large number of arrows at any time. Cluster, weapon damage needs to be replaced,
This used to be a headache for fat people,
Because of this, Fatty sets the main combat force as the prairie cavalry.
At least the prairie cavalry’s logistical pressure is much less than that of the well-equipped imperial cavalry. The prairie cavalry is resistant to war, and the arrow clusters shot can be recovered and reused. Most of the weapons do not require a well-forged pig iron scimitar. In terms of armor, lightweight armor and leather armor are mixed to wear. Even if it is damaged, the prairie craftsmen accompanying the prairie army will carry out simple repairs. The prairie people do not require high levels of this, and only need to be able to maintain combat.
In this battle, the goal is to go up and down the narrow coastline of thousands of miles. If you can’t fight quickly, you will be trapped in the quagmire of a protracted war between north and south, and you will need to complete both long-range maneuvers and assaults in a short time. Difficult combat tasks without too much logistical burden. Only the prairie cavalry who are good at attacking and hard-working can do it. Now with the Bresse area, the logistics department can make it easier, and there is no need to transport a large number of weapons and arrows for long distances. And the cost is quite painful.
In a blink of an eye, it’s mid-October,
According to the agreement, 15,000 prairie cavalry began to withdraw to the country in batches. From the coast of Normandy in the sunny port, the North Sea Fleet’s 2 Dragon-class battleships, 12 Longya warships, and 114 ships were escorted. A large fleet of transport ships~IndoMTL.com~ slowly docked into the port on the northwest coast,
"Your Majesty!" Hu Keqili saluted the fat man waiting in the port. The densely packed 15,000 soldiers of the Central Army of the Empire descended from the transport ship. The retreat of the prairie cavalry will make the previously occupied coasts. There is a military vacuum in the region,
Naka Suoyang Army will take over these areas in an all-round way,
After the fleet was replenished, the emptied cabin was quickly filled with prairie cavalry, the horses and horses were packed, the mighty fleet, under the eyes of the fat man, fifteen thousand horse commanders saluted respectfully, and then boarded The dragon-class battleship that made them feel breathtaking,
"嘡"
The bell in the center of the port came, echoing between the sky and the sea, as if saying goodbye,
The huge hull shook slightly, the white sails rose to meet the sun, and the fleet left the harbor and sailed to the open sea, disappearing into the distance of the sea level,
Fatty turned around, his face hesitated
The prairie cavalry who returned with their wealth will land at the port in the Northland and then return to the critical prairie area from the Northland.
This can greatly reduce the delay on the road. If all goes well, they will return to their hometown in early November,
This is my original promise to them, "When the breath of winter descends on the grassland, I can guarantee that you will be in your grassland tent!"
