When the 2nd Wing entered Shiraz City, the city was deserted, and the fire was raging everywhere, and the mercenaries were either putting out the fire first or sorting out the isolation belt to stop the fire from spreading. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Those who can move around have long since fled, and the remaining seriously injured natives can only be left to fend for themselves, and the mercenaries are too lazy to take care of them.

By the time the 3rd Wing and the brigade headquarters arrived, the fire had almost been extinguished, and the brigade commander ordered the troops to immediately bury the pot and cook, rest for one hour, and then the troops immediately set off; The brigade headquarters was stationed in the city of Shiraz, and the 2nd Wing went to occupy Azovti, and looted to the northwest to Boruzhen and Shaarisa, and to the east to Egrid; The 3rd Wing went to support the cavalry units and the 1st Wing, and later the 3rd Wing was stationed in Linez and plundered the tribes around Lake Bakhtaigan, and to the southeast to Sa and Dalab; The 2nd Wing was stationed in Jahrom and looted west to Filuzabad and southeast to Lal.

The captured artillery was also distributed, 6 105mm howitzers formed a howitzer company, which was directly under the jurisdiction of the brigade and regimental headquarters, and the captured 12 75mm mountain guns were evenly distributed to 3 wings, each with 4 guns, and each formed a mountain artillery company.

The commanders of the wings were very satisfied with the distribution of the brigade commanders, and the availability of four mountain guns would greatly enhance the attack capability of the regiments.

The brigade commander was very happy to be able to successfully occupy Shiraz City and complete the orders issued by the theater command, and the next step was to see how much loot he could grab in Shiraz City and the surrounding area, which was a matter of rewards for each of them, and every wing and every mercenary was very concerned.

After a hearty meal, the troops split up, and the 2nd and 3rd Wings set off one after another.

The headquarters of the brigade was located at the castle of Karim Khan in the city of Shiraz.

Officers and men of the brigade and regimental headquarters and the artillery battalion of the Praetorian Guard began to loot the spoils of war in Shiraz City, and all the daily necessities such as grain, pots and pans of each household were collected, and all kinds of livestock were kept in captivity.

All kinds of gold and silverware, jewelry, precious carpets, tapestries, brocades, wine, etc. are all good things, mercenaries dare not have them alone, and they will be sent to the headquarters of the war zone or the Xia Empire in Beijing in the future.

Since the last time the treasure vault was found in the Cazeron troops, the brigade commander was full of anticipation for the capture of Shiraz City, and specially ordered all the soldiers to carefully search the treasure trove in the city when collecting the loot, and rewarded the finder.

Naturally, the officers and soldiers did not want to miss this opportunity to make a fortune, and if they found the treasure house, the rewards of the war zone alone would make their families have food and clothing for the rest of their lives; The mercenary Matsushita Yu, who found the treasure in Cazelen last time, has not been buried, and the theater command has sent a telegram that the theater will reward 10,000 summer yuan first, and the war exploits will be rewarded by the imperial staff headquarters; A direct saliva that makes all the mercenaries envious.

10,000 Xia Yuan is 10,000 taels of silver, or 10,000 grams of gold, which was a great wealth at that time, and it could change the fate of one of their families, which is also a rare wealth today.

The mercenaries and the Praetorian Guards almost dug three feet into the ground in Shiraz, even the cattle barns. The hard work paid off, and eventually, the entrance to the treasure was found in a well, which was so hidden that no one would have noticed this ordinary well if it weren't for the desperate search for the treasure in Shiraz City.

It's just that this well is so strange that it attracts the attention of the mercenaries; The well was in a large courtyard, next to the courtyard where the chief lived, the well had been abandoned, but the edge of the well was relatively tidy, and it seemed that people often went up and down, which attracted the attention of the mercenaries and sent a diminutive mercenary to check the well.

The credit for the discovery of the treasure this time is not an individual, but a team, and in the future, the 10 officers and soldiers of this squad will share the reward equally.

The brigade commander, the chief of staff, and the battalion commander of the artillery battalion were anxious to enter the treasure through the well.

After observation, it was not only a treasure trove, but also a secret passage that led directly outside the city.

The tunnel is so narrow that only one person can pass through, and it seems that it is only used for the chieftain or his family to escape, and it is difficult to use it for large-scale mobilization.

For the sake of prudence, no one except the Praetorian Guards was allowed to approach the courtyard of the well, and the commander of the artillery battalion sent a reconnaissance squad of the escort company to find the location of the exit of the secret passage along the secret passage.

The chief of staff of the mercenary brigade and the battalion commander of the artillery battalion checked the treasures, there were only more than a dozen gold bricks, it seems that the other gold was taken away, these gold bricks were not easy to carry before they were left, but there was a lot of silver, full of dozens of boxes, as well as a large number of gold and silverware, jewelry, jewelry, etc.

Preliminary estimates suggest that the value of this treasure is much greater than that found by Cazeren.

The brigade commander was very happy, that is, the theater command did not reward him personally, but only rewarded his soldiers, which was also his honor; Besides, the Imperial General Staff will reward him for his military exploits at that time.

The chief of staff of the brigade was also very happy, and was more happy to lead his brothers to a fortune than he was to make a fortune himself; This campaign not only successfully completed the tasks in the theater of operations, but also suffered quite a lot of losses, how can people not be happy? For him, he is still young, and he strives for more military achievements, if he is delegated to at least a wing commander, or when the mercenaries expand the army, it is not impossible to be promoted to brigade commander, as long as he has military power, is there still a lack of rewards and wealth?

The other soldiers were also very happy, even if they did not find the treasure, they personally looted a lot of loot, and the inhabitants of the entire city fled empty-handed, leaving all the wealth in the city, which was also a great success.

After bypassing the city of Shiraz, the cavalry pursued along the road to the southeast, and when they encountered the natives blocking the way, they slashed them directly with their sabers, and rolled to the side of the road with a grunt, and the frightened natives fled to both sides of the road, causing the cavalry troops to run wildly.

These natives are running for their lives empty-handed, and there is nothing valuable on them to attract the attention of the mercenaries, as long as they do not get in the way, there are no cavalry willing to deal with them, so that the nervous mood of these natives gradually relaxes, and they chase along the route of the chieftains' escape unhurriedly.

The cavalry unit pursued for a total of 3 hours before the fleeing indigenous army was sighted.

Fearing the artillery fire of the indigenous army, the cavalry followed the indigenous army from a distance, and when they were marching, the cavalry sent an artillery squad to find a suitable location, using the M1-81mm mortar to quickly fire shells, hitting the indigenous army hard, and then quickly loading the mortar on the horse and fleeing quickly.

So that the native artillery had not yet assembled the mountain artillery, and the artillery squad of the Janissary cavalry battalion had fled far away.

Repeated like this several times, the indigenous army that fought was embarrassed, but they were helpless, the artillery of the Xia Empire was too fast, and they ran away.

It was not until the afternoon that the brigade headquarters sent a telegram ordering the cavalry to return to Shiraz City, and each wing had assigned its own tasks, that the indigenous army breathed a sigh of relief, but there were more mercenaries waiting for them ahead, and they would not escape the fate of being surrounded, and these mercenaries would not give up until they captured the wealth they carried.

The cavalry units unfortunately did not capture the booty.
