"Long live! Long live the falcon!" Outside the city, countless spears were also raised in the firelight, and fanatical shouts came from the city below, and the soldiers were cheering, and no one paid attention to the expressions of the Bathonians on the opposite wall, victory and defeat, there was such a difference, on the city wall, the Bathonians turned pale, and one by one weapons slipped from their hands to the ground, full of tears, and in groups on the city wall, they knelt down on one knee towards the duke who was in the center of the enemy army in the distance,

"Lord Duke!" A general of Patton lowered his head, as a result, he had long known that if the old duke, who was famous for his bravery when he was young, was ten years younger, or could still have the strength to fight, but the years were unforgiving, coupled with the anxiety of his body for days, it might have been difficult to even swing his sword, and the other party was the rumored strong king of barbarians who could break the leg bones of bison with one hand, and there was only one possibility for such a disparity in the duel, death!

But that was the old duke's choice, with his own life, to end this terrible war that lasted for more than a month,

Everyone's eyes were on the army on the northwest coast, but no one noticed that Baston, whose national strength was already weak, could no longer support it in terms of troops and resources after a series of defeats.

The Baston area is not large, 500 square kilometers, the population is only 250,000, the previous several battles, have allowed the men who can take up arms have been requisitioned to the battlefield, the domestic economy is completely withered, plus many areas of the autumn grain has not had time to be transported away, so they have to give up or burn it, to make matters worse, if they continue to resist, the brutal barbarians will not destroy the Bastons I don't know, but the Bastons will collapse on their own,

Duel, just for a dignified surrender! Such a choice, how helpless to "creak" the huge city gate of Alimenka, the capital of Baston, in the distance, under the eyes of everyone. Slowly open from the inside out,

"Hooray!" the cheers were louder, and the soldiers knew that the war was coming to an end, especially the steppe cavalry who were looking forward to returning home before the winter came, although the steppe sounds they shouted were awkward, not neat, more like wolves howling, but the joy in them was so obvious that it was enough to prove that no matter what race. The feelings that come out of joy are all the same, and there is no need to hide them,

"It seems that no one wants to continue fighting!" the fat man sighed, turned over and stepped onto the war horse pulled by the guards, touched his forehead with his hand, and raindrops fell, and the wind was mixed with a violent feeling, booming. A blue lightning bolt illuminates the distant land,

The old duke's body lying on the ground moved, and with a look of disbelief, Ulibic stood up tremblingly. The surroundings suddenly fell silent, and tens of thousands of pairs of eyes gathered on him, whether it was friend or foe, "Hooray." Long live the old duke!" This time, the cheers came from the city walls, and there was a feeling of the aftermath of the catastrophe "You didn't lose. I didn't win either, so I'll keep my promise!" The fat man looked at him, turned his head, and suddenly commanded loudly around, "Did you all hear that? After entering the city! No one is allowed to plunder and slaughter civilians! Otherwise, it will be dealt with according to military law! Remember, you are warriors, not butchers!"

"Obey your orders, His Majesty the Khan!"

The fifteen steppe thousand horsemen behind the fat man responded with respectful expressions, and they were very obedient, and they couldn't see the brutal style of the steppe people at all, Sharon rolled his eyes, and the acting skills of the falcon had reached the point of perfection.

It is undeniable that this time the steppe people are very good, except for carrying out the necessary orders, they really did not harass the civilians or slaughter the civilians as before, in fact, this is because they are all fed, there is no need to do this

This time, they are the ones who have gained the most benefits, and the rich military rewards have made every Kugit cavalry excited to death.

More than 40 gold coins are enough to buy a hundred sheep and a dozen of the best horses on the steppe, which is a wealth that cannot be underestimated for a single family,

The heavy gold coins pressed in the sack bags of each of them, the sound of swaying was so pleasant, 15,000 people, that is, 600,000 gold coins, and these thousands of cavalry commanders who led the team received more than soldiers, as generals, each of them received 10,000 gold coins of general wartime compensation, as well as a large number of bounties obtained from the occupied areas,

Following the Falcon Khan King Xià, it is really a sign of making a fortune, the pain of leaving his hometown and crossing the ocean, it doesn't matter for a long time, this is a wise decision, the casualties are small, the fight is hearty, and there is money to take, this kind of thing was even unthinkable before, the soldiers considered that they no longer have to worry about their livestock being frozen to death this winter, and they can live a very comfortable time with their families in the warm sheepskin tent when the earth is pale,

And the generals are thinking about returning to the tribe, they can have a good scenery, everyone is happy, everyone earns a lot of money, the steppe cavalry from top to bottom, the face is smiling, but the real maximum benefit is naturally the fat man who completely controls the coastal area with the steppe cavalry,

If you calculate carefully, you will find that in two months, on the thousand-mile coastline from Bastar to O'acha, the prize money spent by 15,000 elite steppe cavalry in the entire campaign was only 1.5 million, 1 to 100, and the average value of a mile of land was less than 15,000 gold coins.

The fat man felt that the money was well spent, the steppe cavalry was really cheap and efficient, and absolutely obedient troops, and gave the thousands of cavalry commanders who led the team a clear bounty target, these guys could immediately be as excited as chicken blood, and very loyal to complete the task, these bounties are naturally wool out of the sheep,

In the capital of O'Acha, the fat man emptied a large number of supplies in O'Acha as a logistics warehouse of the alliance, and as many as 700,000 gold coins of funds, in Basta, Salon obtained 300,000, in Bangor, several cities let the fat man have more than 400,000 gold coins in the account, and the Brace region is poorer, but as one of the countries with the strongest military power along the coast, Bresie's heritage is not wealth, but the military industry,

This is also the place that makes the fat man value the most, in Bress, each region has an independent drill house, like a warehouse for storing weapons, and the number of craftsmen who are good at forging weapons is far beyond the imagination of the fat man.

There is no way, the violence factor of these Bresse people is too obvious, and every family has its own tradition of forging hand-held weapons.

The coming-of-age ceremony of the male in Brace is to use the spear forged by himself to go to the wild to obtain the tail mane of a wild wolf, and this kind of environment has given birth to many famous masters, if you change the name of the empire, it is the master craftsman.

This wealth is what the fat man values the most, the most lacking thing on the northwest coast now is the military industry, most of them are immigrants, the number of craftsmen is very small, and the craftsmen in the country do not want to come, a zone without military industry is like a car without an engine, people have no heart, especially for the Falcon Army, which is extremely dependent on the military industry, the army recruits soldiers and needs weapons, and the combat needs to build a large number of arrow clusters at any time, and the weapons need to be replaced.

This used to be a huge headache for fat people,

Because of this, the fat man set the main force of the battle as the steppe cavalry,

At least the pressure on the steppe cavalry in terms of logistics is much smaller than that of the well-equipped imperial cavalry, the steppe cavalry is resistant to war, and the arrows shot can be recovered and reused, and most of the weapons are pig iron scimitars that do not need to be well-forged, and the armor is mixed with light armor and leather armor, even if it is damaged, the steppe craftsmen who accompany the army in the steppe army will carry out simple repairs, and the steppe people do not have high requirements for this, they only need to be able to maintain the battle,

In this operation, the goal is to narrow the coastline up and down for thousands of miles, if it cannot be quickly resolved, it will be quagmire of a protracted war that may fall into the north and the south, and to complete the two difficult combat tasks of long-range maneuver and assault in a short time, and there is not too much logistical burden, only the steppe cavalry who are good at rushing and hard-working can be competent, and now with the Brace area, the logistics department can be more relaxed, and there is no longer a huge amount of trouble for long-distance transportation of a large number of weapons and arrows.

It's mid-October in a blink of an eye.

According to the agreement, 15,000 steppe cavalry began to withdraw to the country in batches, and in the sun-drenched port, starting from the coast of Normandy, 2 Dragon-class battleships of the North Sea Fleet, 12 Dragon's Tooth ships, escorting a large fleet of 114 transport ships, slowly stopped at the port on the northwest coast,

"Your Majesty!" Hu Keqi saluted the fat man waiting in the harbor, the dense 15,000 soldiers of the Imperial Central Army, disembarked from the transport ship, and the retreat of the steppe cavalry would create a troop vacuum in the coastal areas that were originally occupied,

The Central Army will take over these areas in full,

After the fleet was replenished, the empty cabin was quickly filled with steppe cavalry, men and horses were divided, the mighty fleet, under the attention of the fat man, fifteen thousand cavalry commanders saluted respectfully, and then boarded the dragon-class battleship that made them feel amazed,

"Boom"

The bell in the center of the harbor rang out, echoing between the sky and the sea, as if to say goodbye,

The huge hull shook slightly, the white sails rose in the sun, and the fleet left the harbor and galloped out to sea, disappearing into the distance.

The fat man turned around, his face a little hesitant

These steppe cavalry, returning with their wealth, will land in the harbor of the Northland, and then return from the Northland to the critical steppe region,

This will greatly reduce the time of delay on the road, and if they are happy, they will return to their hometown in early November.

This is his original promise to them: "When the breath of winter comes to the grassland, I can guarantee that you will be in your own grassland tent!" (to be continued......)
