There was still some chaos in Wincheston Manor, and it was too much for a small knight's estate to suddenly flood in with six or seven hundred people.

Otto and Angus roughly divided the Wells regiment into five parts—two infantry banner and heavy infantry teams that were attacking during the day, and raised a campfire in the garrison camp outside the manor to rest and eat; The 1st and 2nd Regiments of the Legion, the 2nd Banner Regiment, as well as the Cavalry Brigade and the Gōng Nǔ Brigade, were responsible for the vigilance of the Wincheston Manor and the Manor Wài Wéi {possible enemy forces in the Northlands}; The two Third Banner Regiments and the Baggage Brigade of the Legion were responsible for clearing out the remnants of the enemy, collecting trophies, screening prisoners of war, and pacifying civilians. After capturing Winchesterton, the Task Force soldiers were dispersed in groups of three to the farther county town of Tignats and the vicinity of Wincheston to observe any unusual reactions in the surrounding area; In addition to supervising the enforcement of military law, the Judge Advocate Corps is also responsible for interrogating the Dian family's housekeepers, personal guards, servants and other people who have been captured alive.

Wincheston Manor was still purging the remnants of the enemy, so the Legion Command Camp and the Baggage Brigade Camp were still outside the manor.

Spencer, the captain of the Legion's baggage team, walked into the command tent with an excited face, and said to Odo, who was repeating the order to the two heralds of the fourth flag team of the first company: "Lord Odo, the battle victories of Wincheston Manor have been basically counted."

Otto glanced at Spencer, raised his hand to signal a moment, and then instructed the herald: "Bring orders to Bangada and Patus, be sure to control the southwest farm, restore the serfs who have the courage and are willing to be loyal to us to form a free convoy, let the people of prestige in the village temporarily take charge of the farm, and straighten out the farm affairs." The food and baggage can be slowly transported to Wincheston Manor, and the rest will be decided when the adults return. ”

The herald took note of Odo's words, bowed out of the tent, jumped on horseback, and hurried back to the southwest farm overnight with torches.

After the herald left, Otto turned his gaze to Spencer and said, "Briefly tell me about the seizure."

Spencer picked up a birch bark with a hasty number written down, and replied, "Lord Odo, there are many kinds of seizures this time, and I will pick the main one."

Otto nodded, poured a glass of wine for one of his fellow soldiers, and sat down in a simple chair to take a sip.

"After our search, we found 170,000 gold and silver coins from the Wincheston Manor vault, which is certainly not the property of Dean and his sons, and I suspect that Dean and his son hid money outside the manor or elsewhere. But Dean and his son are dead, and I've raised my question with Lord Ron, who is torturing the manor's butler and several personal guards. ”

The seizure of money did not meet everyone's expectations, according to Hawkeye's news, the Dean family frantically sold their family property some time ago, although most of the money was sent to Besançon to buy his life, but Dean and his son will not leave a way back for themselves.

Dean and his son are dead, and now they can only hope that Ron's side will torture something useful.

The seizure of money was not satisfactory, but there were other gains.

"Wincheston Manor is home to the elite guards of the Dean family and the Western Frontier Army, and the improvised Dean private army also has some weapons and armor that can be seen. In this battle, we captured more than 50 bows and arrows, more than 5,000 arrows, and 230 broadswords, spears, short spears, battle axes, page hammers, chain flails, and single swords and short swords. There are three sets of full-body plate armor, eight sets of half-body plate armor, five sets of plate chain armor, four sets of iron scale armor, 120 sets of leather armor and cotton armor, 50 shields of various kinds, and more than 190 sets of military assets such as various burqas, winter coats, and leather boots. Dean may have felt that the cavalry was too expensive, and there were only three horses in the manor. ”

In addition to the existing soldiers of the Wells Legion, these weapons and armor can be equipped with a hundred more Legion soldiers, which is why Spencer is excited. The Dean family is rich, and their caravans and manor guards have always been well-armed, and even the newly built private army has spent a lot of money on equipment.

But that's not what excites Spencer the most, "My lord, the biggest gain besides armament is the Dean family's team!! ”

Spencer grunted, "Forty-five four-wheeled iron-inlaid carriages, eight riding horses, fifty-five carts, seventeen pack horses, and seven or eight mules and donkeys, which is basically half of the Dean family's caravan." ”

Due to the suddenness of the incident, Dean and his son only had time to sell most of the shops and one of the smallest caravans in the Northland, so the Southwest Farm and most of the caravan were still in the hands of Dean and his son. This time, Dean and his son felt that they could not protect themselves, so they recalled all the caravans that could be quickly returned to Wincheston Manor. The caravan guards became corpses on the ground and prisoners in cells, while forty or so iron-encrusted carriages and sixty or seventy pack horses became the victors' trophies.

The seizure of carriages and horses alone was far more than 200,000 fennigs, which is indeed something to be excited about.

"In addition to money, armament, carriages and horses, a large number of hoarded raw silk, cotton cloth, salt, jewelry, and other southern goods were also found from the manor, and this caravan can only be estimated, and I calculate that it must be worth fifty or sixty thousand fennigs. By the way, there are also a lot of food and farming tools in the manor, and the land in Wincheston Manor is fertile, and it seems that Dean and his son plan to manage this place well. ”

Otto had been unable to bring the mountains of supplies from the Southwestern Farm and Wincheston Manor back to the valley for a while, but this time it was easy to solve, and the size of the caravan under Art's command could continue to expand.

"Your baggage team quickly takes over these war catches, cleans them up, seals them, and prepares them to be transported back to the valley."

"Yes!"

Spencer didn't have to go to the battlefield to fight, but the baggage team was busy before and after the war, and Spencer, as the chief officer of the baggage team, was even more tired, and his eyes were already bloodshot at the moment, and he kept yawning.

Otto saw the fatigue in Spencer's eyes, got up and handed the wine glass in his hand to Spencer, and asked, "How is the placement of the dead and wounded soldiers?" ”

Spencer took the wine glass handed over by Otto and drank it all, licked his lips and replied: "In this battle, except for the deserters, our army only lost eleven people and seriously injured seven people, but there were as many as sixty-eight people who were slightly injured, and they were basically new soldiers of each flag team. Dr. Thomas and Father Robert were in the camp with the paramedics, but there were not enough men, so I borrowed all the medics from Wei and Andrew's Banner. ”

"Soldiers can't be careless in their treatment, and these soldiers who have shed blood and been wounded are the most precious."

"Yes, we will do our best to treat it."

Odo remembered something, and asked, "Did you violate military discipline when you collected and cleaned up the booty?"

Military discipline and military law are enforced by the guard military law team, but since the commander asked, Spencer also replied, "Yes!" The Guards captured three new soldiers who had trespassed into people's homes and looted them, and five soldiers who had hidden large amounts of loot. Lord Ron was still interrogating in the manor, and the men were temporarily held in the camp. ”

Otto nodded, now there are hundreds of soldiers in the army, no matter how strict the discipline is on weekdays, at such a critical moment, there will always be some soldiers who can't resist the temptation to defy the law, and there are seven or eight who have been caught by the guards and law teams, and there must be some who have not been discovered.

"Where's your baggage team?"

"Lord Odo, I keep a close eye on the baggage team, we will fight hard if we can take it, and if we can't move, we won't take a second look." Spencer loves money, and in fact he made a lot of money from the war, but Spencer was a smart man, and he would rather save more with less than defy the law.

"That's good, the legion's baggage team handles countless amounts of money and food every day, you have to take care of yourself and your subordinates, and wipe your hands clean."

"We must remember!"

"Go, after counting the loot, let's rest for a while, and then we have to be busy."

............

Seeing off Spencer, Otto went to a copper basin filled with water in the camp and washed his face with cold water, the fatigue disappeared instantly, took the rags and towels handed by his own soldiers, wiped them, and straightened his clothes and armor and walked towards Wincheston Manor with his own soldiers.

On the way to the manor, there were legionnaire patrol soldiers in armor shuttling back and forth, and the soldiers of the Guards Law Corps with a white strip of cloth tied to their left arms also enforced military discipline in various places, and there were also soldiers standing guard at various intersections and fort gates.

There were still screams and shouts in the manor, it was the soldiers who had cleared the remnants of the enemy who were going from house to house searching for possible enemy troops, and by the way, the hidden valuables were collected in an organized manner.

The soldiers along the way saluted when they saw the regiment's adjutant Odo passing by, and Odo occasionally paused to encourage them or tell them to guard against danger and ensure that there was no danger.

Walking and stopping, I arrived on the first floor of the lord's mansion in the manor, and as soon as I entered the door, I was greeted by the smell of blood and feces and urine. Angus and Ron were torturing the manor steward with three soldiers of the Guards, and in the corner of the house lay a few bloody people, dead or alive.

Otto raised his hand and waved it slightly in front of his nose, and walked to Angus, who was wiping the blood from his hand with a rag, when he saw Otto come in and turned to say hello.

"Sergeant Major, is there any result?"

Angus spat into the corner and replied, "I've killed two, but the results are not good." They provided the Dean family with three other batches of money hidden outside of the two farms and estates, which were the last life-saving money for the Dean father and son, totaling more than half a million pinkneys. ”

But Dean and his son were hiding very secretly, they only knew that one of them was supposed to be in the county town, but they didn't know where to hide it. As for the other two hiding places, they didn't know about it. ”

Angus had been tortured to death, and perhaps those guys didn't know where the Dean family's money was hiding.

Otto glanced at the manor steward, who was bruised by Ron, "Did this butler dig something out of his mouth?" ”

"This bastard must know a hiding place or two, because the guards and servants confessed that at least two hundred thousand phenneys had been handled by this bastard."

Otto listened and walked to the butler who was tied to the pillar, this guy has served the Dean family for more than ten years, and is deeply trusted by Dean and his son. He was thin, his hair was dark, covered in blood, feces and urine, and he had been tortured to the point that he was not human.

"He survived two waterboards, and there was no place to start, but he still gritted his teeth and didn't say anything." In the past two years, the torture has basically been carried out by Angus or Ron, and it was the first time they had seen such a hard-nosed civilian.

"Ron, don't fight yet, this guy is not afraid of life and death, even if he is killed, it is useless." Otto stopped Ron's beating, and if the butler had been killed, the hidden money might not have been found.

Otto thought for a moment and asked, "Does he have a wife, sons, daughters, or family members?"

"You mean?"

"Start with his wife and daughter, immediately send someone to arrest his wife and daughter for me, I see if he can see his wife and children sent to death!"

Soon after, the housekeeper's wife and 10-year-old daughter, who had been held with unscreened civilian farmers, were sent to the execution house.

Ron began waterboarding his wife and daughter in front of the butler......

...............

After a few moments, Ron walked out of the room, and said to Angus and Otto who were waiting outside the house with blood-red eyes, "Two adults, that guy has confessed!" The Dean family's money was hidden under a wooden shed in a dilapidated tavern on the corner of the Freedom Soldiers in the county town of Tignats, and in an abandoned dry well five miles northwest of the Southwestern Farm, and the largest remaining 300,000 pfennigh was hidden by the Deans and his sons. But Dean's mother should know everything......"

Otto looked soothing, and ordered the soldiers behind him: "Command the task force, quickly send people to these two places to recover the money!" ”

The soldiers ran in the direction of the task force outside the manor......
