Chapter 300: Triumphant Return

The war is over!
The largest war of expansion since the founding of the Beichen Kingdom ended with the complete destruction of the Duchy of the Empire on which the sun never sets. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoArmies of millions are outside the City of the Sun, cheering for their victory. This last battle of the Destruction Sun Never Sets is no different from the previously scheduled strategic deployment. Originally, it was the Xia Kingdom that attacked the Sun and the Never Set Domain, while the Beichen Kingdom attacked the Gran Territory. It's just that because of the situation of the war, it has become a joint attack by the two countries on the Sunset Territory, and only one million troops and 500,000 sailors of the Beichen Army attack the Grand Territory.
Although it would be a bit of a hassle to divide the war dividends, we won the victory, didn't we?
The city of the Sun was breached, and only more than 500,000 of the two million defenders in the city surrendered, and all the rest died. Even Galahad, a god general who had repeatedly escaped from the Beichen Army, was unable to escape the catastrophe this time. Galahad died in a bloody battle in front of the palace, and when Xiao Chen saw the corpse of this goods, he was no longer human. Not to mention that the armor all over the body is tattered, just the dozens of large and small holes on the body make people feel numb on the scalp.
Xiao Chen still didn't let go of Galahad's corpse in the end, how could the life-and-death feud be resolved by Galahad's death on the battlefield? The corpses of a generation of gods were washed clean, then chopped into meat puree, made into buns and balls, and placed on the board before Luo Cheng's coffin.
Luo Cheng's corpse did not decompose, this was the effect achieved by some of the medicinal herbs that Xiao Chen had collected before. It is designed to repel flies and insects, which can protect the corpse of the person who has just died, and it will not rot for half a year.
The delicate silver armor is still so handsome, and his pale face is unwavering.
"Luo Cheng, Galahad is dead. When our army returns to the DPRK, you can go on the road with peace of mind! ”
After Xiao Chen put the buns and balls made of Galahad's flesh and blood on the sacrificial plate, he gently said to Luo Cheng's spirit card. Then he turned and left. I really didn't want to see Luo Cheng's appearance, every time I looked at Xiao Chen, I felt that my heart was dripping blood!
Out of the tent, Xiao Chen said to several soldiers by the tent: "Take good care of General Luo's corpse, if something goes wrong, this king will not be spared!" ”
"No!" Several soldiers shouted loudly. They were the guards in front of Luo Cheng, the only few guards left.
The army was inside the Sun City, wasting four or five days. The main thing is to recuperate and negotiate the ownership of the site.
Needless to say, recuperation and recuperation began in October of the fourth year of the beacon fire and is now in April of the sixth year of the beacon fire. Beichen Kingdom has been fighting for a year and six months in a row, which is not tiring. From the 8 million army at the time of the expedition to the current more than 3 million army, more than 5 million soldiers of the Beichen Army fell on the road of the battle in a year and a half. Destroy the country of Buni, kill 500,000 soldiers in battle, and take more than 50 cities of the country of Buni. The conquest of Shalu was first in the Battle of Sanguan, with hundreds of thousands of soldiers lost, and then by the flood of the Erbuna River, with losses of more than 2.5 million troops. Acquire one hundred and thirty-two cities in all the kingdom of Shalu.
After that, the sun does not set on the country of Xilongling. Successive defeats, the loss of more than 100,000 soldiers, and the loss of the general Luo Cheng. Subsequently, in the final battle of Villagas, more than 400,000 elite troops of the country of the sun never set were defeated, and more than 500,000 soldiers were lost. Then there was the battle of crossing the river, which lost more than 100,000 soldiers, but in exchange for the main army of Weil, the king of the country that never sets, and the main army of 1.8 million people of the country that never sets, it can be described as a complete victory.
In the end, outside of Sun City, the capital of the country where the sun never sets, the army was blocked for months. Under the continuous siege of the city, the loss of troops approached 800,000 troops, and finally won the victory, winning a large number of war dividends. Hundreds of cities joined the territory of the Beichen Kingdom, and the territory of the Beichen Kingdom was more than doubled. And now, with 872 cities, the Beichen Kingdom has once again become the most powerful country in the whole continent. Even in the Xia Kingdom, there are only more than 700 cities. However, in the future, after the Xia army annihilated Prussia, the number of cities will also exceed that of Beichen.
As for the rest of the players, Xiao Chen didn't even look at it now. Now, there are only a dozen principalities in the whole continent, and in addition to the forces organized by the governments of nine countries, there are only the forces of the former top players such as Xiao Chen, Long Ye, and Brown. The strength of these principalities is definitely not comparable to those medium-sized countries and countless small countries.
While obtaining huge war dividends, the price paid by Beichen Kingdom is also very large. The huge loss of troops, the figure of five million is enough to make Beichen Kingdom sad. And the domestic grain and grass are also consumed because of the war. Not long after the war began, Beichen had already begun to use the grain in Zhenguocang. The 180 million stone of grain was consumed in less than a few months. After that, the first harvest of the fifth year of the Beacon Fire was only enough to sustain the people in the country from starving to death, and it was impossible to eat enough. Even, if Xiao Chen hadn't brought back most of the grain harvested from Xilongling back to China, the country would not have survived the second harvest at all.
It can be said that in the period of one and a half years from October of the fourth year of the Beacon Fire to the sixth year of the Beacon Fire, most of the people of Beichen Kingdom were in a state of insufficient food. There were even people who starved to death, but there were not many, and they did not meet the requirements of the peasant uprising. In fact, the real reason is because Xiao Chen pulled most of the young people in the country into the army, and then went out to fight. Otherwise, the country might have already set off a storm of rebellion.
The consumption of food is very large, but the rest of the military supplies are also consumed. The weapons of the army alone have been changed twice, and the armor and the like have not been changed much, after all, under the continuous victory, the Beichen army has also captured a lot. And the consumption of arrows is a bit scary, more than half of the more than 200 million arrows in the Beichen Kingdom have been consumed, and there are only more than 30 million left in the country. When Xiao Chen got this result, he was also stunned.
170 million arrows? Are there so many? It stands to reason that 170 million arrows are enough to be used two or three times, which is equivalent to a one-time arrow of four or five hundred million! How many enemies can four or five billion arrows kill?
The calculation method is not like this anymore, now everyone's army is well-equipped, as long as the arrow does not hit the place without armor, the chance of death is still very small. In this way, it is still very possible for the Beichen Army to consume a large number of arrows. After all, 500,000 enemies in iron armor or inlaid iron armor, if you want to use arrows alone, at least tens of millions. It seems that in the future, we will have to focus on the development of crossbows, and the power of bows and arrows has been weakened like tofu.
Recuperation was the first priority, and the second priority was to discuss how to divide the fruits of the war.
Originally, it was decided that each of the two families would take one collar, but because of the change in the war situation, the two families won the sunset collar together. After that, Beichen Kingdom took the Grand Collar alone. In this way, Xia Guo is a little unhappy. After all, when it comes to losses, Xia Guo doesn't have to be much smaller than Beichen Kingdom. If you remove the two million who were drowned by the flood in one go, the loss of the Xia Kingdom would be even more serious than that of the Beichen Kingdom. The Xia State dispatched a total of 6.5 million soldiers and horses, but now there are only more than 3.2 million people left, and the loss of 3.3 million troops is the same, and the casualties are heavy.
As a result, because of the division of results, the negotiators of the two families had one dispute after another, and many times they almost fought. If it weren't for Xiao Chen and Long Ye pulling it, it is estimated that the scene would have been broken and bleeding a long time ago. In the end, after five days, the problem of division of results was finally completely resolved.
Among them, the Xia Kingdom has ninety-seven cities that the sun never sets, and includes Sun City, the capital of the country on which the sun never sets. And the Beichen Kingdom only has more than 30 cities that the sun never sets, but it can obtain sixty percent of the wealth in the Sun City. Sixty percent, it seems that it is only one percent more than Xia Guo, but this is not a small amount.
The assets of the country on which the sun never sets are very vast, especially after the four countries in one, all the wealth is concentrated in the city of the sun. Wealthy people from all over the world also moved to the capital, bringing a lot of goods to Sun City. Even before the siege, Galahad had moved the people of the city, but the wealth of the city was still not small.
After the spoils were divided, Beichen Kingdom got 700,000 taels of gold alone, and silver also had 5 million, and the copper coins were not calculated, so they really couldn't be calculated. However, the income from gold and silver alone was enough to twelve million taels of silver, which was equivalent to four months' military salary for the army of Beichen Kingdom. It's more than three times the total annual tax revenue in the country, and don't forget that it's only the wealth of a capital. And in this war, the Beichen Kingdom has obtained nearly five hundred cities, and how many can be scraped if they are all scraped in a small way.
Also, in the area occupied by the Beichen Kingdom, there are still many foreign people. These people are going to become slaves in the future, and their money will naturally be contributed to the country before they become slaves. If it weren't for the fact that the speed of internal immigration has not kept up with the pace of the expansion of the army, the Beichen Kingdom still needs the foreigners in those occupied areas to produce materials, so they would have contributed money and turned into slaves.
Money and other things outside the body are not the biggest gain. The greatest harvest is the harvest of land and fertile land, as well as the acquisition of a good horse farm. Previously, just from the Buni Kingdom, the Shalu Kingdom and the Xilong Kingdom of the Sun Never Sets, the Beichen Kingdom had seized more than 50 million acres of fertile land. Now, with the addition of the Els and Gran Collars and part of the Sun's Never Setting Collar, the fertile land gained has soared again, reaching 71 million acres. Together with the existing 57 million mu of land in China, Beichen already has 128 million mu of fertile land. This amount is very huge, although it is not enough for domestic farmers to obtain several acres of land, but it is certain to ensure that the domestic people are fed. Perhaps, there will be a lot of surplus food that can be stored.
The harvest of the racecourse made Xiao Chen even more happy. In this long war, the number of cavalry in Beichen has dropped from 200,000 to 120,000. The loss of a large number of knights and war horses made it impossible for Beichen to replenish it at the first time. Now Beichen Kingdom can only provide 50,000 cavalry needed war horses every year, and after obtaining this horse farm, Beichen Kingdom can provide 200,000 war horses every year, which can completely arm 100,000 cavalry.
Of course, this amount is still a bit insufficient in front of Xia Guo's eyes.
Previously, on the battlefield of the Western Front, the main armies of the Xia Kingdom and the Sun Never Set Kingdom had a big battle, losing 200,000 cavalry. As a result, up to now, Xia Guo has actually replenished 700,000 cavalry in one go, and all of them are one person and two horses. This made Xiao Chen look envious, and the replenishment speed was too fast, and he completely had the conditions for exploding cavalry. Beichen Kingdom is still exploding infantry, and there is no comparison at all.
The ratio of infantry to cavalry of the Xia army, when the war was not waged, reached ten to one. Now it almost jumped to three to one, compared with Beichen Kingdom, which has always been thirty to one or forty to one, fifty to one, and completely left Beichen Kingdom thousands of miles away. Therefore, when he got the horse farm again, Xiao Chen couldn't be happier.
After the fruits of the war were divided, Xiao Chen and Long Ye could only say goodbye after a long period of happiness.
On the first day of the fifth month, the army of millions officially set out on their way home.
The Hui army numbered only 300,000 people, including 100,000 cavalry and 200,000 infantry. The original 2 million infantry are now all stationed in the Gran Territory and a part of the Sunless Territory. Among them, the garrison in the territory of Gran is as high as 1.5 million, and the 1 million army is stationed on the northernmost border, forming the northern army camp, cooperating with the 800,000 army of the coastal camp to jointly guard the north of the country. And within the more than 30 cities in the Sunset Territory and the many cities in the Gran Territory, there were only 200,000 defenders. Because this place is connected to the allied Xia Kingdom, Xiao Chen is very relieved to only put down 200,000 troops to maintain the security of the city. As for things such as the betrayal of allies, Xiao Chen didn't care about it at all. If that guy Long Ye dares to betray himself, he will go to Grandpa Long, and if he doesn't die, he won't be surnamed Xiao.
After crossing the river in the south, the 300,000-strong army came to the territory of Xilong. In Xilong City, 300,000 troops were stationed for ten days, gathered the 100,000 troops from Els, and the 200,000 defenders in Xilong, and set off again. There are only 50,000 horses left in the Els Domain, bordering the territory of the Xia Kingdom to the west, the Sun Buding Territory to the north, and Evian County to the south, and the security performance is completely sufficient. Therefore, Xiao Chen transferred the extra 100,000 horses back and prepared to pull them back to China.
The 300,000 defenders in Xilong's territory were also taken away by Xiao Chen, leaving only 100,000 horses to garrison these more than 100 cities. The Beichen ** team, which gathered a large number of soldiers and horses, continued to go in the direction of home.
Since then, the war has come to an end, and Beichen has returned triumphantly!
