Alien Arms Empire.

Chapter 114 Chapter 114
"We're back!" At the door of the Datang Group where only the signboard remained, an old worker who followed the Boy Scouts to North Ridge shouted excitedly, raising his arms.

The boy scouts who escorted the messy things returned to the place where they started more than ten days ago without warning.

There were 360 ​​musketeers from three infantry companies, more than 30 elite hunters commanded by Loew, more than 100 artillerymen improvised, and more than 40 cavalry led by Tiger. .There are also 64 C6 field breech-loading guns in the team, and more than 40 corresponding carriages.

There was also a long queue when they came back, but obviously most of the people did not follow back to Burnas.

The largest number of horses in this team were horse-drawn carriages, and one after another, Tang Mo brought back the more than 130 captured war horses and dozens of horse-drawn carriages to his base camp.

There was no way, in order to get all 40 cannons back and recast them, Tang Mo had no choice but to get the corresponding carriages back as well.

Of course, there were seriously wounded people in so many carriages, as well as the captured property of the captives, as well as the iron ore and copper mines that North Ridge had mined and smelted these days.

In short, it was a fighting force when it left, and it became a convoy of spoils when it came back.

As for why only 40 cannons were sent back, the main reason is that Earl Fishero purchased some Cyric field cannons and almost all the cannonballs.

He had never fought such a rich battle, and now his Northridge regiment has 59 cannons, including 6 C64 field breech-loading guns.

Such artillery is enough to make any opponent terrified, not to mention that these cannons, in addition to Jingui's breech-loading guns, also have enough shells to kill.

With so many cannons, Fishelo would be more confident in holding his ground and helping Tang Mo stabilize his back, and Tang Mo could also boldly sweep northward with more confidence.

At this moment, in the south of Susas, the highest-ranking frontline commander was Tang Mo's old acquaintance—Viscount Rommel, who ran all the way from under his eyelids and fled back to the country.

Anyone who knows him knows that he is actually a big idiot... Well, in fact, there are quite a lot of such idiot nobles in this world.

Usually, everyone is a straw bag, and they are all the same shit that the mud can't support the wall, so it's not obvious, so life is just like muddling along.

But now, when the opponent is an excellent new star, it will bring out how cheating these pathetic nobles are.

The Viscount Rommel ran all the way and fled back to the country. The first thing he did was to find a way to absolve himself of guilt, and dumped the blame for his defeat on Tucci, who would never be able to defend himself again.

He first wrote a letter and sent it to the capital, explaining the process of defeat to his king: it was all because Tuqi was greedy for success and refused to listen to Romel's persuasion. caused the failure.

Then it was Viscount Rommel who was brave and brave, and risked his life to bring back the defeated army. It was a blessing in misfortune, and he managed to save these young flesh and blood in the kingdom.

To be honest, just reading the contents of the letter, Rommel almost moved himself.So he sent the letter with satisfaction, and then pretended to gather the rout.

Immediately afterwards... the slapstick came.

On his side, he gathered the collapsed troops, and managed to gather 1000 people, only to bump into a Northridge troop heading north.

Susas' rout could not have artillery.Their cannons were all thrown on the way to escape, becoming Tang Mo's spoils of war.

And the Susas Kingdom, which planned to attack the Wright Kingdom and took the lead in going south to fight, could not leave an artillery force on its southern border.

So the 1000 men in Romel's hands were actually "light infantry" without artillery. Most of them only had a Cyric flintlock, and many of them didn't even have bullets.

This is also something that can't be helped, on the way to escape, naturally throw away whatever is in the way.Armed belts are heavy and in the way, people with gunpowder bullets and bayonets are still hanging on their bodies at this moment, Rommel feels that they are already the elite of the kingdom.

And the Northridge troops going north were equipped with needle-fired guns, which were much better than the fire sticks in the hands of the Susas troops in terms of range and accuracy.

As a result, the defeated soldiers that Romel had gathered with great difficulty were once again on the verge of collapse, and more than 300 people from the three companies of the recruit battalion led by Tang Mo were defeated.

Following this rout, Tang Mo occupied two small towns without bloodshed, and even smashed the treasury of a local nobleman on the outskirts of the town.

And then came the really exciting part - Tang Mo came up with a self-importance, imitating King Chuang's classic operation of opening a warehouse to release grain.

Anyway, it's not his own territory. Whether it's a headache or vomiting blood, it's all a headache for Fishelo, and it has nothing to do with him, Tang Mo, does it?
So he asked the soldiers to shout the slogan that North Ridge is fighting for freedom, farmers only pay [-]% of the tax, and businessmen only collect [-]% of the tax, and helped Fishero get his name out.

In addition, he also revised the land deeds and distributed all the land certificates in the hands of the nobles to the local farmers, which directly caused large-scale chaos.

No matter what, the land cannot be taken away, it is divided!The food hoarded by so many nobles can't be taken away. Instead of setting fire to it, it's better to be a bachelor and share it with the locals.

What's more ruthless is that as long as Tang Mo wants gold coins, he also divides up the remaining tables, chairs, benches, oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar in the noble manor, and he just came along.

As a result, a large number of locals followed Tang Mo's troops intentionally or unintentionally, and within a few days, they swept across the southern part of Susas.

Tang Mo, who was over the top, even remembered a magical drama he had watched, so he distributed the captured Cyric flintlock guns to these farmers... With the gun in hand, follow me Go, grab the mansion, GO GO GO!

This coquettish operation definitely hit the seven inches of the Susas Kingdom. Those farmers who received food and land really became the crowd of "Kings of North Ridge".

Based on the simple view of right and wrong that whoever feeds us is a good person, they joined the happy party of buying the noble manor for zero yuan.

All of a sudden, the nobles of the Susas Kingdom were in danger and began to flee to the north frantically, and their escape led to the collapse of defense forces in more places.

When Tang Mo was more than 100 kilometers away from the King City of Susas, rumors began to spread in the city.Even the troops defending the city deserted.

This set of chaotic punches directly stunned the Kingdom of Susas, so despite the repeated requests of the envoys of the Cyric Foundation, the king of Susas sent envoys overnight, holding a white flag to find the "Bunas" led by Tang Mo. 300" Warrior.

The envoys of Susas even omitted the attempt to struggle. As long as Tang Mo agreed to stop the zero-yuan purchase with three hundred locusts, the Kingdom of Susas was willing to pay a ransom of 63100 gold coins first...

As for why there are 63100 gold coins with zeros?It's because there are only so many kings and nobles in the city of Susas can make up temporarily...

Ever since, the two sides happily reached a preliminary agreement: all the proceeds of Tang Mo's zero-yuan purchase are legal spoils, and Suzas will not be able to recover them in the future.

Suzas paid an additional 63100 gold coins for the hard work of Tang Mo's new barracks.An additional compensation must be paid to those injured and killed in this operation.

On the premise that Susas promised not to hold the civilians of the country to rob the nobles of their property, Tang Mo stopped providing cover support for the civilians to attack the nobles.

The troops led by Tang Mo immediately retreated to the south of the Ice Crystal River. Susas promised to seriously consider whether it is feasible to cede the area south of the Ice Crystal River to the Wright Kingdom during the negotiations to end the war in an all-round way.

By this time, the battle situation in the Kingdom of Wright had also undergone tremendous changes.Having lost their logistical supplies, the Susas troops, who had run out of ammunition and food, completely gave up their plan to attack the king's city of Wright, and began to retreat in an all-round way.

Before, the Susas troops who knew that they had been encircled strategically did not panic. They mobilized their troops, hoping to reopen the cut off supply lines.

As a result, the Northridge Legion lying in front of them was really nailed there like a nail, allowing the Susas troops to attack fiercely, but they did not move.

Susas changed the commander three times in a row, and the five legions stormed back and forth, but they failed to cause large-scale casualties to Fischero's troops.

Just the luxurious artillery support lineup of 59 cannons made Fischero, who blocked the breakout of the Susas troops, extremely arrogant.

The ammunition of the Cyric field cannon is almost "unlimited". The ammunition that Fischero had previously stockpiled, plus what was seized on the battlefield this time, was enough for the Northridge Legion to waste for a long time.

And the domestic news that finally came through the defense line gave these Susas troops a thorough understanding of what it means to be "besieged on all sides."

The news brought over there is that the troops of the Wright Kingdom have invaded the hinterland of Susas, burning, killing and looting all kinds of crimes, the noble manor is in flames, and the enemy's strength is 8000, not much more!
This kind of vague news caused the Susas troops, who were eager to return, to be completely chaotic. The middle-level army system built by the nobles and retainers completely lost their fighting spirit, and they all began to think about their own family business.

What they didn't know was that the so-called [-] Northridge army was actually just a group of civilians holding Cyric flintlock guns and pretending to buy them for zero yuan.

Ever since, when the established Susas troops began to retreat from the outskirts of the Wright Kingdom's royal city, the tense atmosphere in the city was finally swept away.

What no one knew was that the young man who disturbed the situation was sitting on the roof of a carriage with a yellow straw in his mouth, looking at the one ahead, who was heading for North Ridge. The carts of gold coins are giggling.
