Alien Arms Empire.

Chapter 111 111 Still Business
Although Susas has lost the strategic initiative, they will not be completely finished for a while.The Northridge troops fought fiercely for several hours, and did not go all out to chase the defeated Susas troops.

After capturing about 300 prisoners, Earl Fischero rode on a horse to inspect the battlefield, and saw Tang Mo and others guarding beside a cannon.

That was Tang Mo's first surprise attack on the artillery position. There were 10 cannons deployed. These cannons were all new and fully equipped.

Tang Mo not only seized these cannons, but also captured the horses that dragged these cannons, and the carriage that loaded the cannonballs.

Fishero got off his horse in front of Tang Mo, and Alice followed behind him, looking at Tang Mo who was covered in blood with curiosity and concern.

Walking in front of Tang Mo, the Earl didn't talk nonsense, and said directly: "I'm really surprised that you came here, your cavalry has really helped us a lot. Now that the enemy army has been defeated, we Immediately lead the army south to support your new barracks!"

"No need, Lord Earl." Tang Mo was very bachelor, sitting next to a cannon, rubbing the blood on his clothes with his hands.

"What do you mean?" Fishelo was taken aback when he heard Tang Mo's answer. He thought that Tang Mo's purpose of guarding here was to ask him for help, and he wanted to bring reinforcements back to Sanchakou as soon as possible.

He had no idea that Tang Mo had won a decisive victory at Sanchakou, and even the supreme commander of the Suzas troops had been killed this time.

Of course, he didn't know that Tang Mo had captured nearly 1200 prisoners there, and with the prisoners here, Tang Mo had already captured about 1500 Suzas prisoners in this battle.

Looking at the somewhat surprised Fisheruo, Tang Mo waved to Alice who was behind him, and then continued to explain: "Before I came, I had already defeated Su who was going north from the southeast to support and passed the Sanchakou." Sars Force."

"You defeated? Reinforcements?" Fishelo looked at Tang Mo in disbelief, not sure if what he said was true.

You know, according to his speculation, there should be at least one army of the enemy near Sanchakou. It is definitely not easy to eliminate 500 people with 1500 people.

What's more, if there were other troops, then Tang Mo was facing an onslaught of almost 3000 troops. How could it be possible to defeat 500 enemy troops with 3000 troops?
However, Tang Mo's answer was still very firm, as if he was talking about a very ordinary thing: "Yes, my lord, the other party's commander seems to be called Tucci, the information I obtained from the prisoner's simple interrogation .”

The officer standing next to Fischero sneered, and reminded: "Tucci is a famous general of Susas! If he is in command, the other party is unlikely to collapse..."

His original intention was to remind Tang Mo not to brag, but Tang Mo seemed a little afraid of being exposed by others, so he just continued to say: "I don't know, all I know is that I killed him. The captive said that the news of Tu Qi's death is accurate." Yes, I also found Tucci's sword and battle flag."

The officer was even more surprised, and shouted in disbelief: "What are you kidding!"

"I'm not joking, General! I defeated the enemy troops that flanked me, about 4000 people, and Tiger can testify to that." Tang Mo didn't need him to believe him. He looked at the count and said.

"Tiger?" Fishero looked at Tiger, he believed that Tiger would definitely not lie about this kind of issue.

Facing Earl Fischero's gaze, Tiger said, "Yes! Lord Earl, we led our army to defeat the enemy army that flanked Sanchakou, including an army led by Viscount Rommel and General Tucci. Two legions, a total of 4500 people!"

"It's impossible!" Fishero exclaimed after hearing the number.

"Nothing is impossible! I have fulfilled my promise, and I hope you will not break your promise, Mr. Earl." Tang Mo was referring to the "bonus" he deserved for this victory.

Then, he paused, and asked again: "I don't know if the Earl is interested in doing business?"

Earl Fischero had just recovered from the shock. Hearing Tang Mo's question, he subconsciously asked, "What business?"

"I have almost 1500 captives from the Kingdom of Susas in my hand. Is the Earl interested in buying them all?" Tang Mo asked while stroking the cold cannon barrel beside him.

"You know that North Ridge doesn't have much money anymore." The earl didn't immediately refuse, because for North Ridge, 1500 young laborers are definitely not a small temptation.

"Soon! The war indemnity will make Beiling a windfall." Tang Mo reminded the Earl, reminding him that he was already a rich man.

"Are you injured?" Finally, Alice had a chance to speak, she looked at the dried blood on Tang Mo's body, and asked worriedly.

"It's someone else's blood, I'm fine." Tang Mo explained.

"That's good." Alice relaxed a lot, and then continued: "Tell me, how much are these prisoners?"

"Three gold coins per person is not expensive, right? 3 gold coins..." Tang Mo stretched out his palm, "Even officers are included, an integer of 4500! I want cash."

"How much compensation do you think we are sure to get this time?" Alice did not immediately agree, but asked Tang Mo.

"A reasonable price is about 20 gold coins." Tang Mo actually calculated it a long time ago. This may be the approximate amount that the Kingdom of Susas could barely afford after the defeat.

Because of the defeat, the Kingdom of Susas had many things to deal with. In order not to let the Kingdom of Wright dominate, Susas could not be destroyed all at once.

Therefore, it is very complicated to ask for war reparations, and the more the better.To take care of many aspects at the same time, it can basically be regarded as a business.

"Then how much can we actually get?" Alice didn't seem to be intimidated by the amount of 20, and continued to ask Tang Mo.

Tang Mo thought about it carefully, and then answered a number that shocked Earl Fisheroo: "About 30 gold coins."

"So much?" the earl asked subconsciously.

"It's not too much, because Suzas couldn't get it out, so at least half of the money was actually spit out by the Cyric Consortium..." Tang Mo said calmly.

If you simply look at the amount of the compensation, it is actually not high, because even a single sea trade in the Yangmu Kingdom would have a gross profit of tens of thousands of gold coins.

John just purchased more than [-] yuan of goods from Tang Mo, and the amount of the transaction also made the possible war reparations this time not so amazing.

However, this is only a part of the war gains. After the indemnity, there will be land cession, and land cession is often the real big gain.Therefore, the compensation of 30 gold coins is actually not too small.

He paused, and added with some embarrassment: "Of course, one tenth of the compensation is mine."

"5000 gold coins doesn't seem like much." Alice was going to buy these prisoners of war to increase the number of laborers in Northridge as much as possible: "I made this deal."

She now needs too much manpower for expansion, the mine needs more workers to work in the mine, and a large area of ​​land needs people to cultivate.

With these prisoners of war, at least she can solve the problem of her lack of manpower, allowing Beiling to rely on Tang Mo's machinery to quickly improve her own strength.

"What I just said reminds me that apart from these prisoners of war, there are also some captured ammunition and supplies, including flintlock guns, bullet bayonets for guns, and battle flag sabers..." Tang Mo continued to ask: "Good things to invite credit for." , I wonder if Beiling is interested in buying some?"

"This, this can also be sold?" Tang Mo's words stunned some officers in North Ridge, as well as Alice.

"Of course, for example, the one just now, what is the name of that Tuqi." Tang Mo spread his hands: "Isn't he a famous general? His saber, selling for 2000 gold coins, isn't it expensive?"

In Tang Mo's hands, this thing is just a toy, but in the hands of other suitable people, it will become a magical weapon to invite credit.

It is estimated that His Majesty the king, who is in a state of desperation, will be very happy when he sees this saber. It is not too much to give a baron title, right?

Of course, what can be done must be valued by His Majesty the King.If Tang Mo or Fischero did this, they would definitely not get such benefits.

"These cannons..." Alice looked at the cannons that Tang Mo was holding on to, and asked curiously, "Aren't you selling them?"

"I thought about it carefully just now, because I have more money recently, so I kept these cannons for myself." Tang Mo replied with a smile.

He originally planned to sell these cannons, but after thinking about it, he decided to remanufacture these cannons and turn them into C64 breech-loading guns before selling them.

What he lacks now is steel and the capacity to process it, not money.Purely from the point of view of gold coins, he can almost be regarded as rich and powerful now.

The Earl has returned to reality from the joy of victory. He looked at the North Ridge troops in the distance and said to Tang Mo, "You can't be careless now."

"Yeah, I just thought about it, and I also thought about this level." Tang Mo nodded: "We are now stuck on Suzas's supply line."

He looked at the earl and expressed his thoughts: "Susas' troops will leave the vicinity of the royal city, but they are not withdrawing. Instead, they must concentrate their forces to eradicate us, and then continue to attack south."

"Your strategic analysis is quite accurate." The earl praised Tang Mo, and then continued: "So before they recover, we must cut off their supply lines and paralyze the troops of the Kingdom of Susas in the hinterland of the Kingdom of Wright. "

"This is also the choice to ensure the safety of Northridge." He finally said.
