Four hundred and eighty-seventh joint march
"You have destroyed a white army on the west bank of Pantuo River before and obtained hundreds of thousands of white prisoners. Have I said anything about this?"
Shi Rui's face was full of tough expressions: "Of course I know the principle of distribution of spoils. But I still want to say that if we did not have our lion clan restrained us and attracted the main white force, you would never have won that battle."
The atmosphere seemed a little nervous, and Tianhao and Hu Yaoxian's expressions became gloomy.
"You are simply a rude thing." The irritable tiger king accused: "No one can decide the direction of the attack of the white army. Who would have thought that they would cross the Pantuo River rashly? You should know that the first one to bear the attack was our tiger clan. Where were the reinforcements of your lion clan at that time? Humph! I didn't see a single lion clan from beginning to end. If it weren't for the dragon clan..."
Speaking of this, Hu Yaoxian came to an abrupt end. He felt the muscles on his jaw tightened, and finally stopped what was about to blurt out. He knew very well at that time. If it weren't for the Dragon Clan's fleet and cannons, it would be difficult for even the Blood Claw City to be defended, let alone win.
To be fair, Hu Yaoxian didn't get many white prisoners after that battle, but he was also satisfied. After all, the Tiger clan army was still in a state of mobilization at that time. In addition to sending some cavalry to gather the dispersed white men, the entire battle was basically carried by the Dragon clan. This was equivalent to eating pie falling from the sky while sitting. Hu Yaoxian would not say bad things about Tianhao at this time, nor would he stand on Shi Rui's side to seek benefits.
"Yes! The dragon clan is very powerful, and there is also a young and excellent Regent." After a brief silence, the voice of the Lion King was remembered in the camp again, and he seemed unreasonable: "No matter what, you have gained benefits after all. It is not an exaggeration to ask for 40,000 white people now. Of course, I will abide by the principle of fair and just distribution and are willing to follow the contracts I made before. But..."
"Enough!"
Tianhao's plain tone was filled with deep anger: "I understand what you mean———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
Shi Rui felt a little hot on his face. Although he was mentally prepared to lose his credibility and seek benefits, he still had a little bit of shameful consciousness. Faced with Tian Hao's questioning, he tightened his cheeks, raised his head, and tried to look arrogant: "Yes!"
"Okay! Since you must do this, I will make a concession." Tianhao stared at the Lion King with cold eyes and shouted in a low voice: "You will get what you want. None of the 40,000 white prisoners will be missing."
Hu Yao was stunned for a moment. He never dreamed that Tianhao would give such an answer.
Shi Rui was also deeply surprised. In fact, he was not forcibly asking for these prisoners, but more to show his attitude and gain more benefits in future distribution.
"I hope you remember what happened today." Tianhao's voice was full of majesty, and there was an irresistible and sharp element: "A mere 40,000 white people are nothing. We will deal with more than two million enemies in the future. I hope everyone will work hard, rather than making small moves behind the scenes for a little benefit."
Hu Yaoxian suddenly understood why Tianhao made concessions. He quickly followed the topic and waved his fists viciously: "You are right! If anyone dares to hide his own personalities and fear war and preserve his strength, I will be the first to spare him!"
The stiff expression on Shi Rui's face relaxed slightly. He held his hands together and snorted coldly, as an answer in favor.
Looking at the two tribal kings who had their own thoughts, Tianhao took a deep breath and a burst of anger ignited in his chest.
"The Dragon Marine Corps has taken the God-Majesty Fortress, and the white man's retreat has been blocked." His thoughts in his mind became wild and violent, and he turned into language: "The rest time lasted until this afternoon, and the whole army must go south at two o'clock. Two of his Majesties, I hope you will keep your promises and strictly implement the combat plan. This is our first large-scale battle against the white man, and we cannot lose no matter what!"
Neither Hu Yaoxian nor Shi Rui spoke, and the camp tent was shrouded in an uncomfortable and quiet atmosphere.
Tianhao sat down slowly, picked up a piece of barbecue from the plate, and bit it with big mouthfuls.
He ate very vigorously, as if he had been hungry for a long time.
This is the first compromise and the last time.
Only when you are full can you have the strength and fight.
This is his idea, no one knows it.
...
According to Tianhao's order, 40,000 white prisoners of war were handed over to the Lion Clan. Together with the bloody and dilapidated battlefield and all the supplies for the Gorgeous Calico scattered here, the finishing and cleaning work were the lion Clan.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Tianhao began to move south with four full armies and a huge baggage force composed of up to 200,000 people.
Yuankai's Second Legion has finished collecting and cleaning the Pantuo River battlefield. They have obtained supplies through the inland fleet in the direction of Bucks City and are now rushing from the west.
The violent army army and supplementary personnel held the Shenwei Fortress. As the most important temporary supply station, the newly built Leizhou City gathered tens of thousands of dragon engineers. Zhengjiang's navy was also under great pressure. Fortunately, Elizabeth and Yugao caused devastating damage to the Sester military port, so that the severely damaged the Saxon fleet was unable to go to sea, and finally ensured that the maritime supply line between Panshi City and Leizhou was unobstructed.
This time, Tianhao issued a general mobilization order for the whole clan.
All the men and women and young men fought together. Except for a regular legion left behind to be responsible for the garrison within the clan, the rest of the in-built legion were sent to the front line. Mainly consisted of Black Horn City, Thunder Horn City, Panshi City, Bucks City and Mishui City, each with a reserve legion under construction, with a total of 500,000 people.
Most women and livestock are used for transportation. "Firepower Output" is not just empty talk, but based on a huge and stable logistics supply. The two consecutive battles were indeed brilliant. The total number of prisoners of the two armies of the Viking and the Prague Kingdom exceeded 600,000 (including slightly injured people). Without sufficient preliminary preparations and sufficient ammunition, this effect would not be possible.
On major issues related to the life and death of the clan, Hu Yaoxian did not hide his own personal information. He sent 60,000 cavalry and 150,000 infantry. The subsequent mobilization of soldiers is expected to exceed 200,000, but the speed of action is slow, which is a two-day difference between him and the main force of the Dragon Clan as the core.
The Lion King sent 300,000 people.
Compared with the Dragon Clan and the Tiger Clan, the main forces of the Lion Clan undoubtedly seem too few. However, both Tianhao and Hu Yaoxian know that this is already the limit of the Lion Clan.
Humans are not machines, they have to eat as long as they are alive. Although the Lion King has taken some benefits on the issue of white prisoners of war, he still keeps his promises and takes on the food supply of the three tribes.
The food demand for as many as millions of people is very terrifying, and it is an astronomical figure that makes people feel irritated by thinking about it. The Lion King recruited the reserve grain from all cities and villages of all tribes, and sent nearly two million people to be transported. Starting from Roaring City, until the temporary stationing point of the three tribes' coalition forces heading south, the back and forth were densely packed with baggage troops, looking down from the air, as if they were organized and ordered.
Hu Yao ate hot roasted potatoes for the first time since his life.
A roughly spherical gray-brown "mud egg" was stuffed directly into the ashes, and soon exuded an attractive fragrance. Use a wooden stick to pull out the "mud egg" from the ashes, and use both hands to cool it down, tear off the outer skin, and you can see the hot tender yellow part.
The first time I eat it, I always feel novel. After sprinkling a little salt, Hu Yao suddenly felt that this was one of the most delicious foods he had ever eaten.
For a long time, the lion tribe has strictly sealed all outflow channels about potatoes. They cut the potatoes into pieces and slice them and then dried before they can be sold as goods. So the potatoes that the King of the Dangdang Tigers had eaten before were basically soaked in water and steamed. As for the method of frying, there are also ways to eat them, but the way to eat them is too luxurious. Even the king of the clan has the opportunity to eat them only during the New Year.
He patted off the ashes on his hands and watched the lion tribe transporting fresh potatoes from the city behind and piled up in the tiger tribe camp. Hu Yaoxian fell into deep thought while sighing.
This war changed a lot of things, from personal thinking to the current situation of the northern continent, and even the pattern between different ethnic groups.
Horses are no longer the unique secret of the tiger clan.
Tianhao has formulated a huge and detailed war plan. The part involved in the battle has been made public to the Lion King and the Tiger King, and "cavalry raid" is one of the most important components. The Tiger tribe has limited human resources, and it also takes into account the production, development and transportation within the tribe. According to the temporary contract signed by the Dragon Tribe, the Tiger Tribe and the Lion tribe after the Long Lock Pass was captured———The Tiger tribe must provide 50,000 war horses to the Dragon Tribe and the Lion tribe in the next three months. In the corresponding return, the Lion tribe undertakes all the food supply of the main army, including corn and potatoes.
For the first time, Hu Yaoxian saw the golden dried granular corn poured out of the sack, ground it into powder, mixed with water, and boiled into a large pot full of sea and sea. It was constantly spitting out foamy paste in a boiling state.
The taste of cornmeal steamed buns is no different from before. The only difference is the process of turning granular corn into powder. Because there is no need to continue to prevent the tigers from obtaining corn seeds, the lions also eliminate the procedure of grinding noodles and directly provide dry corn after drying.
The young Regent was equally generous. He promised to provide sufficient natural sulfur to the Tiger Clan and the Lion Clan after the war. Whether it was Hu Yaoxian or Shi Rui, they were actually not interested in muskets and cannons. They were all those who had been at the Dragon Lock Pass, and the seized white weapons were not unfamiliar to them. Of course, there was still a little curiosity, after all, the Dragon Clan artillery was very different from the white cannons. Especially the kind of explosive shells, which were listed on the "shared list" by Hu Yaoxian and Shi Rui when signing the contract.
Tianhao was generous. He did not hide his own personal information. He took out twenty rifles very readily as gifts to the two tribe kings. His attitude was very sincere and he spoke straightforwardly. Now is a special period, and the weapons output of the Panshi City military factory must be given priority to the combat troops. Moreover, this battle is different from the previous times. There are too many white people invading, and the dragon clan must do his best to avoid being at a disadvantage in the military. Therefore, in terms of weapon supply, the dragon clan can only be given priority to satisfy the dragon clan, and the tiger clan and the lion clan will be the turn.
The reason is very good: the Dragon Clan has five reserve corps now being formed, and the training of new recruits is also carried out at the same time. The front line requires more troops, and soldiers must learn to use firearms and master shooting skills as soon as possible.
He solemnly promised: Even if the war is over, the dragon clan will provide two thousand rifles and fifty cannons to the two major tribes within one year.
Tianhao made a vow to the gods in public. He also put forward another more tempting suggestion--the tiger tribe and the lion tribe can send people to Panshi City and enter the military factory to learn. From metal material forging to advanced gun manufacturing technology, the dragon tribe will never retain any reservations.
These words from the young Regent were reasonable, and his explanations and various supplementary suggestions also took care of the face of the two tribe kings. Hu Yaoxian and Shi Rui were both satisfied. Especially Hu Yaoxian, he was never a person willing to be accustomed to waiting, so he sent a group of famous blacksmiths to Panshi City to observe and learn on site.
After drinking a large bowl of thick corn paste, Hu Yaoxian felt a little lazy while sitting on the chair with his hands on his belly. He wanted to sleep after eating, but it hadn't been so comfortable for a long time.
He suddenly had a very wonderful idea--this war should last forever and not end.
It was not out of malicious intentions or some kind of cruel thinking, but the close cooperation between the three major ethnic groups made Hu Yaoxian feel very warm. No need to worry about intrigue, no need to think about all kinds of messy things, no need to think about who is my friend and who is my enemy.
In addition to the potatoes and corn of the lion tribe, during this period, Hu Yaoxian also tasted the lunch meat of the dragon tribe. It was a blocky cooked meat filled with clay pots. It tasted very good and had a full taste.
If he hadn't experienced it personally, it would be hard for him to imagine what the concept of an army of millions would be. If the Lion tribe had spared no effort in supplying food, the Dragon tribe and the Tiger tribe coalition would not have been able to wait to face the white people on the battlefield, and would have been dragged down by the terrifying logistics gap and would not stand up and be in chaos.
Hu Yaoxian knew very well that the current cooperation between the three tribes seems to be intimate, but if you look at it from another perspective, it would be terrible.
If a certain clan has ill-behavior, suddenly withdraws troops, or no longer assumes obligations, the entire battle situation will collapse instantly.
Fortunately, neither the dragon clan nor the lion clan had a reason to do this. The ancestors watched us in heaven. Any betrayal and deception would be cursed forever, and the gods would also punish the betrayer, allowing him and his descendants to suffer torture and punishment forever.
But then again, no matter who it is, has selfish intentions.
Although the Lion King seems selfless on the surface, he actually makes some small moves. Take the battle that just ended as an example. In addition to receiving the 40,000 white prisoners promised by Tianhao, he also gets additional benefits for cleaning the battlefield.
