"You have wiped out a white army on the west bank of the Pantuo River, and you have taken hundreds of thousands of white prisoners. Did I say anything about that? ”

Shi Rui's face was full of tough expressions: "Of course I know the principle of distribution of loot. But I still have to say that if it weren't for our Leon Clan to contain and attract the main white force, you would not have won that battle. ”

The atmosphere seemed a little tense, and both Tianhao and Hu Yaoxian's faces became gloomy.

"You're just a strong argument." The irascible Tiger King opened his mouth to accuse: "No one can decide the direction of the attack of the white army, who would have thought that they would recklessly cross the Pantuo River." You must know that it was our Tiger Clan who was the first to bear the attack, where were the reinforcements of your Lion Clan at that time? Hum! I didn't see a single leonin from beginning to end. If it weren't for the dragons......"

Speaking of this, Hu Yao stopped abruptly, he felt the muscles on his jaw tighten, and finally stopped the words that were about to blurt out———— he knew the situation very well, if it weren't for the dragon people's fleet and cannons, I am afraid that even Bloodclaw City would be difficult to defend, let alone win.

To be sure, Hu Yaoxian didn't get many white prisoners after that battle, but he was also satisfied. After all, the Tiger army was still in a state of mobilization at that time, except for sending some cavalry to collect the scattered whites, the whole battle was basically carried by the Dragon Clan. This is equivalent to sitting and eating pies falling from the sky, Hu Yaoxian will not say bad things about Tianhao at this time anyway, let alone stand on Shi Rui's side to ask for benefits.

"Yes! The dragons are strong, and there is a young and excellent regent. After a brief silence, the voice of the Lion King was remembered again in the tent, and he looked arrogant: "No matter what, you have received a benefit after all. I'm not too much for 40,000 whites right now. Of course, I will abide by the principle of fair and equitable distribution, and I am willing to abide by the contract I have made before. But ......"

"Enough!"

There was a deep anger hidden in Tianhao's flat tone: "I understand what you mean———— principle of fair distribution will be implemented from the next battle, is that so?" ”

Shi Rui felt that his face was slightly hot, and although he was mentally prepared to lose his reputation and ask for benefits, he still had a little bit of shame left. In the face of Tianhao's questioning, he tightened his cheeks, tilted his head, and tried to make an arrogant appearance: "Yes! ”

"Alright! Since you must do this, then I make concessions. Tianhao stared at the Lion King with a cold gaze and shouted in a low voice, "You will get what you want." Forty thousand white captives, not one less. ”

Hu Yao was stunned for a while, he never dreamed that Tianhao would give such an answer.

Shi Rui was also deeply surprised. In fact, he did not forcibly ask for these captives, but more to show his attitude, in order to get more benefits in the future distribution.

"I want you to remember today." Tianhao's voice was full of majesty, and there was an irresistible ingredient in it: "Forty thousand white men is nothing, and the enemies we are about to deal with next are as many as two million. I hope that everyone will cooperate sincerely, and not make small moves behind the scenes for a little profit. ”

Hu Yaoxian suddenly understood why Tianhao made a concession. He hurriedly picked up the topic and waved his fist viciously: "You're right! If anyone dares to hide his personal interests and preserve his strength in fear of war, Lao Tzu will not be the first to spare him! ”

The stiff expression on Shi Rui's face softened slightly. He folded his hands and snorted coldly, as a reply in approval.

Looking at the two clan kings with their own thoughts, Tianhao took a deep breath, and a wave of anger ignited in his chest.

"The Dragon Marines have taken the Fortress of Divine Might, and the retreat of the whites has been blocked." His mind was full of thoughts, and when translated into words, it became wild and violent: "The rest lasts until this afternoon, and at two o'clock the whole army must go south. Your Majesty, I hope that you will keep your promises and strictly implement the battle plan. This is our first large-scale campaign against the whites, and we can't afford to lose it anyway! ”

Hu Yaoxian and Shi Rui did not speak, and the camp tent was shrouded in an uncomfortable quiet atmosphere.

Tianhao sat down slowly, picked up a piece of barbecue from his plate, and took a big bite.

He ate vigorously, like a wolf that had been hungry for a long time.

This is the first compromise, and the last.

Only when you are full can you have the strength to fight.

This is his own idea, and no one knows.

……

According to Tianhao's order, 40,000 white prisoners of war were handed over to the lion clan. Along with the bloody and dilapidated battlefield, as well as all the Plantagenet Kingdom military supplies scattered here, the finishing and cleaning work is the responsibility of the Leon Clan.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Tianhao began to move south with four fully equipped regiments and a huge baggage force of up to 200,000 people.

Yuan Kai's Second Army had already completed the collection and cleaning of the Pantuojiang battlefield. They were supplied through the river fleet in the direction of Stag City and were now coming from the west.

The Tyrannical Marine Regiment and its replenishments hold the Divine Fortress. As the most important temporary supply depot, the newly built Leizhou City gathered tens of thousands of dragon sappers. Zhengjiang's navy was also under great pressure, but fortunately Elizabeth and Yugao caused devastating damage to the port of Seist, so that the Saxon fleet, which suffered heavy losses, was unable to go to sea, and finally secured the unimpeded sea supply line between Panshi City and Leizhou.

This time, Tianhao issued a general mobilization order for the whole clan.

All the men and women went into battle together, except for a regular regiment left in charge of the garrison in the clan, and the rest of the regiments were all sent to the front. Blackhorn City, Thunderhorn City, Rock City, Buck City, and Mishui City are the mainstays, each with a reserve legion under construction, totaling 500,000 people.

The vast majority of women and livestock are used for transport. "Firepower output" is not an empty phrase, but is built on the basis of a large and stable logistical supply. The two successive battles were indeed brilliant, with the total number of prisoners taken by the Viking and Plantagenet armies in Calais exceeding 600,000 (including those who were lightly wounded). Without adequate preliminary preparation, without sufficient ammunition, it is simply impossible to achieve such an effect.

On major issues related to the life and death of the ethnic group, Hu Yaoxian did not hide his secrets. He sent 60,000 cavalry, 150,000 infantry. The follow-up mobilization of soldiers is expected to exceed 200,000, but the speed of action is slow, and there is a two-day difference between the main force with the dragon clan as the core.

The Lion King sent 300,000 men.

Compared to the dragon and tiger clans, the main force of the lion clan is undoubtedly too few. However, both Tianhao and Hu Yaoxian knew that this was already the limit of the lion clan.

Man is not a machine, as long as he lives, he has to eat. Although the Lion King insisted on some benefits on the issue of white prisoners of war, on the whole he kept his promise to provide food for the allied forces of the three tribes.

The food needs of millions of people are terrifying, an astronomical amount that makes people's scalps tingle just to think about. The Lion King requisitioned the grain reserves of the whole clan's large and small walled cities, and sent nearly two million people to be responsible for transportation. Starting from Roaring City to the temporary garrison of the three clans alliance to the south, the baggage troops circulating back and forth are densely packed, and from the air it looks like a huge ant colony that is organized in an orderly manner.

For the first time in his life, Hu Yao ate hot baked potatoes.

A gray-brown "mud egg" in a roughly spherical shape, stuffed directly into the ashes embers, soon emitted an enticing aroma. Pull the "mud egg" out of the ashes with a wooden stick, blow it with both hands, and tear off the outer skin, and you can see the hot and tender yellow part.

The first time I ate it, I always felt novel. Sprinkled with a little salt, Hu Yaoxian suddenly felt that this was one of the most delicious foods he had ever tasted.

For a long time, the lion tribe kept all channels of potato outflow tightly sealed. They cut the potatoes into pieces, slices and shreds, and dried them before they could be sold as a commodity. So much so that the potatoes that the dignified Tiger King used to eat were basically soaked in water and then steamed. As for the method of frying, it is too luxurious to eat, and even the king of the clan only has the opportunity to eat it during the New Year's Festival.

Patting off the ashes in his hands, watching the mountains of fresh potatoes transported by the Lion Clan from the rear city and piled up in the Tiger Clan camp, Hu Yaoxian fell into deep thought while sighing.

This war has changed a lot of things. From the way of thinking of individuals to the current situation of the northern continent, and even the pattern between different ethnic groups.

Horses are no longer a secret unique to the Tiger Clan.

Tianhao drew up a large and detailed war plan. The part of it involved in combat has been revealed to the Lion King and the Tiger King, and the "Cavalry Run" is one of the most important components. The Tiger Clan has limited manpower, and at the same time, they have to take care of production, development and transportation within the group. According to the temporary contract signed by the Dragons, Tigers, and Lions after the capture of Suolong Pass———— the Tigers must provide 50,000 horses to the Dragons and Lions respectively in the next three months. In return, the Leons were responsible for all of the main army's food supply, including corn and potatoes.

For the first time, Hu Yaoxian saw golden-brown, dry, granular corn poured out of the sack, ground into flour, mixed with water, and boiled into a sea full of a large pot of foamy paste in a boiling state.

The taste of the cornmeal nest is the same as before, except that the granular corn is processed into powder. Because there was no need to continue to prevent the Tiger Clan from getting corn seeds, the Lion Clan also omitted the procedure of grinding flour and directly provided dried corn after drying.

The young regent was equally generous, promising to provide the tigers and lions with plenty of natural sulphur after the war. Whether it was Hu Yaoxian or Shi Rui, they didn't really have much interest in muskets and cannons. They were all people who had been in the Lock Dragon Pass, and the seized white weapons were no strangers to them. Of course, there is still a little curiosity, after all, the dragon artillery is very different from the white one's artillery. Especially the kind of shells that can explode, when the contract was signed, it was included in the "sharing list" by Hu Yaoxian and Shi Rui.

Tianhao was very generous, he did not hide his secrets, and very readily took out twenty rifles as a gift to the two clan kings. His attitude was very sincere, and his speech was straightforward———— this is a special period, and the weapons production of the Rock City Military Factory must be given priority to the combat troops. And this war is different from the previous ones, there are too many white people invading, and the dragons must do their best not to fall behind in armaments. Therefore, in terms of weapon supply, only the dragon clan can be satisfied first, and then the tiger clan and the lion clan can take turn.

And for good reason: the Dragons now have five reserve legions being formed, and the training of new recruits is also underway. There is a need for more troops on the front line, and soldiers must learn to use firearms and become proficient in shooting skills as soon as possible.

He solemnly promised: even if the war ended, the dragons would provide two thousand rifles and fifty cannons to the two major tribes within a year.

Tianhao made an oath to the gods in public. At the same time, he made another, more tempting suggestion———— the Tiger Clan and the Lion Clan could send people to Rock City to study in the military factory. From metal forging to advanced gunsmithing techniques, the Dragons will never hold back.

These words of the young regent were reasonable, and his explanations and various supplementary suggestions also took care of the face of the two kings of the clan. Hu Yaoxian and Shi Rui were very satisfied. Especially Hu Yaoxian, he has never been a person who is willing to get used to waiting, so he sent a group of blacksmiths who were quite famous within the Tiger Clan to Rock City, asking for on-site observation and learning.

After drinking a large bowl of thick corn paste, Hu Yaoxian sat on the chair with his hands on his belly and felt a little lazy. I want to sleep when I'm full, it's been a long time since I've felt so comfortable.

He suddenly had a very wonderful thought———— this war should last forever and not end.

It wasn't out of malice or some kind of cold and cruel thinking, but the close cooperation between the three major ethnic groups made Hu Yaoxian feel very warm. I don't have to worry about cheating, I don't have to think about all kinds of messy troubles, I don't have to think about who is my friend and who is my enemy.

In addition to the lion clan's potatoes and corn, Hu Yaoxian also tasted the dragon clan's luncheon meat during this time. It was a lump of cooked meat in clay pots. The taste is very good, full of texture.

Without experiencing it firsthand, it would have been difficult for him to imagine what it was like to have an army of millions or so large. If it weren't for the Lion Clan's unsparing supply of food, I'm afraid that the Dragon Clan and the Tiger Clan's combined forces would not have been able to wait to face the whites on the battlefield, and they would have been dragged down by the terrifying logistics gap.

Hu Yaoxian knew very well that the current cooperation between the three clans seemed to be intimate, but if you looked at it from another angle, it was also terrifying.

If a clan has bad intentions and suddenly withdraws its troops, or no longer bears obligations, the whole battle will collapse in an instant.

Fortunately, neither the dragons nor the lions have a reason to do so. Our ancestors watch over us from heaven, and any betrayal and deception will be forever cursed, and the gods will condemn the betrayer to eternal torment and punishment for himself and his descendants.

But then again, no matter who you are, you have selfish intentions.

Although the lion king seems to be selfless on the surface, in fact, there are still some small actions. Take the battle that just ended, for example, in addition to the 40,000 white prisoners promised by Tianhao, he also received the additional benefit of cleaning the battlefield.
