Chapter Seventy-Nine: Harvest and Trade
Shang Ji and Nadorand led the army to pursue more than 100 kilometers all the way, and only stopped at the gate of the Brocade Clan to lead the army back.
When he came, the four thousand soldiers of the Boke clan were violent, and less than one thousand and a half of the soldiers were either killed or captured, and the Boke's soldiers were greatly lost in this battle! More important is the backbone of Brocade's heart, the head Boko Bat, unconscious. Despite Bokoli's encouragement to maintain the situation, the entire settlement remained in fear.
Nado, on the other hand, smiled.
Under the First World War, the Nado clan captured nearly a thousand Boko warriors, and if they could successfully consume and absorb them, not only would they make up for all the previous losses, but they would even be able to expand by two points.
In addition, there are more than 2,000 captured war horses!
Although the price of war horses on the grassland is not as expensive as that of the big Han, two thousand war horses are still a lot of wealth. Of course, according to the agreement, most of them belong to merchants. But even so, Nadoland was very satisfied, and turned over from the brink of extinction in one fell swoop, and Nadoland was even a little complacent!
Of course, the losses in this battle were not small.
Let's start with Nado. The Nado clan originally dispatched a full thousand soldiers, and after a big battle, nearly half of them were killed! If it weren't for the chaos of the Brocade army in the end, and they had no intention of fighting again, it is hard to say whether the Nado clan would be able to return it with his whole body!
When more than 500 Nado's warriors returned from escorting thousands of Boko captives, Nadorand shouted luck in his heart!
In addition, the casualties of Shangji's Black Armor Army were not small.
After all, the elite cavalry of the Columbate clan are all fourth-order troops, and the same number of black-armored Xuan cavalry will definitely win if they win, but it is impossible to continue to fight with zero casualties.
Counting the firefighters who served on the battlefield before and after, the Black Armor Xuancai lost seventeen people in the first battle. The ordinary third-order light cavalry suffered heavier casualties, and after the first battle, only 300 of the 400-strong army remained, a quarter of the number of men.
Of course, this data is much better than the reduction of half of the Nado clan, which is also the result of the priority of the Black Armor Xuanqi, otherwise it will be possible to say whether there will be two hundred people left after the war.
In addition, in terms of generals, Zhao Shen insisted on fighting after being injured, and his injuries worsened, and he was unable to fight for at least half a month. The others are fine, but the injuries are also some skin injuries, and I didn't ask after three or five days of recuperation.
Of course, with such a large number of casualties, there must have been a lot of gains.
Let's not talk about the large number of captured war horses, but only the improvement of personnel strength.
Nearly half of the Black Armor Xuanqi has been promoted to the fifth order, and his strength is even stronger. In addition, nearly 200 of the 300 surviving light cavalry reached the fourth rank and were qualified to be transferred to the Black Armor Xuan Cavalry.
As long as the number of Black Armor Xuanqi suits keeps up, Shang Ji has the ability to expand the scale of Black Armor Xuanqi to 500 people at any time!
In addition, several generals who participated in the war have also improved a lot, although it is impossible to be directly promoted to the first rank like ordinary soldiers, but it is no problem to increase the force value by one or two points. Especially Zhao Shen and the others, although they finally let go of the three of them, the experience of fighting to the death with the third-rate generals was also a huge boost to their growth.
In fact, it was not only Shangji's black armor army, but after this war, the Nado clan's army also grew hugely. Pick out the elite of 200 people, and it is not false at all to fight against the elite of the Columbate clan brought by the previous battle.
Seeing Nadorand coming over from a distance, Shang Ji arched his hand and said with a smile: "Congratulations to the head man for a big victory!" ”
"Thanks to the Gao Xiang brothers' help in the battle, this time the Gao Xiang brothers are invited to give priority to the selection of loot!" Nadorand said with a smile.
"Then I'll be disrespectful!" Shang Ji gave up his hand and responded directly. Most of the captured war horses are medium-grade war horses, and there are a small number of high-grade war horses, and the priority selection shows that Nadorand gave the best batch of war horses to Shang Ji, and Shang Ji will certainly not refuse.
"After this battle, Brocade is completely disqualified from arguing with our Nado, and after taking us to repair, send Broko's soldiers, so that Boko Bart's old thing can also taste the taste of being beaten to the door." Nadorand said viciously, obviously not less angry with Brocos before. At this time, he no longer pretended to be a bandit, and bluntly said Xianbei Boko's.
Of course, he didn't know the news that Boko Bat was unconscious and in danger at this time.
The two armies returned to the camp, and there was no talk of feasting and celebrating.
When it came time to distribute the spoils, Nadoland kept his promise and let the merchants choose the loot first.
According to the previous agreement, the booty of the enemy army killed by the Shang Ji Black Armor Army was completely returned to the Shang Ji, and the battle was over. The Black Armor Army has killed more than 1,000 enemies. Because I secretly confessed to Shang Ji before, the main thing is to kill the enemy, not to take prisoners, so the number of enemy soldiers killed by the Black Armor Army is relatively large.
It is precisely because of this that the Nado clan will capture relatively few prisoners of war. If Shang Ji really helped Nado surrender wholeheartedly, the number of prisoners of war could be doubled.
But this kind of thankless thing Shang Ji will not do. Xianbei, who was killed by the Black Armor Army, can also provide some merit points for Shang Ji, and if he captures it, it will not benefit at all, but will help the Nado clan increase its strength.
In the end, after calculation, Shang Ji should allocate 1,125 war horses, plus the 200 horses promised by Nadoland before, and the basic employment fee of 300 horses, Shang Ji can get a total of 1,600 war horses!
Seeing Shang Ji sweep away most of the spoils at once, Nadorand was also distressed and dripping blood. However, due to the strength of Shang Ji, Nadorand did not dare to repent.
More than 180 of these war horses are high-grade war horses, because considering that they also have to cooperate with Nadoland, Shang Ji only selected the best 100 of them, and left more than 80 high-grade war horses for Nadoland!
Having harvested 1,600 war horses at once, including 100 high-grade war horses, Shang Ji was in a very happy mood, and even Nadoland felt cute.
A short time later, a Xianbei man dressed as a herdsman trotted up to Nadoland and whispered a few words in his ear. Then I saw an irrepressible look of ecstasy appear on Nadorand's face.
"Good!" Nadorand laughed, then turned around and announced loudly: "Warriors, I have good news for you, Boko Bat, the leader of the Brocades, has been plotted by the reinforcements he has invited, and is now unconscious, and his life is not long in coming!" ”
Hula, the whole army is boiling. Nado's army shouted all sorts of strange slogans and vented merrily. And the Brocade prisoners of war were mourned for a while, and some of them showed unbelievable looks.
Shang Ji walked over and asked suspiciously, "Chief, I don't know what happened?" Why was the Brocade head suddenly attacked? ”
"Hahaha, the true immortal God bless, the columbate clan didn't know what was crazy, and suddenly attacked that old thing in Bokobat, and now he has fallen into a coma, according to the news from my insider, it is estimated that it is unlikely to survive."
Nadorand smiled and continued: "I said why did Broko's suddenly retreat today, not fighting to the last soldier is not the style of that old thing, it turns out that he is no longer good!" ”
"I see!"
Shang Ji nodded, then pretended to be suddenly enlightened and asked, "That man, what should we do?" Do you need to strike immediately to annex Brokos? ”
"Brother Gao Xiang, don't worry!" Nadorand waved his hand, "Now Boko Bat is dying, and Boko is left alone." In addition, there was another conflict with the collum, we just need to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and we just took the opportunity to consume and absorb the harvest of this battle, and when our strength goes up, it is not easy to annex Broke's? ”
"The head man is wise!" Shang Ji took the opportunity to compliment Nadoland twice.
Nadorand suddenly smiled into a flower, and it was obvious that Shangji's compliment was very useful to him. Ordinary people don't have the slightest use for people like Nadoland to pat their ass, but Shang Ji has shown super strength and power, and his sycophants make Nadoland very comfortable.
After a few polite words with Nadorand, Shang Ji returned to the camp with the generals. Up to now, the Shang Black Armor Army had camped on a hillside outside the Nado clan. Neither Shang Ji nor Nadorand mentioned the joint venture, and it was obvious that both of them were very defensive about each other.
Back in the army, Shang Ji had just sat down and was about to rest for a while, when suddenly a guard reported that General Chen Mo had asked to see him.
Today, Chen Mo's performance on the battlefield was also quite eye-catching, killing a lot of enemies, which made the generals of the Black Armor Army have a better impression of him.
"General Chen, please come in!" Shang Ji spoke.
"General!" Chen Mo came in and saluted Shang Ji first, and then continued: "General, I have a business to do with you on behalf of Yan Huang now, I wonder if the general is willing to hear it?" ”
Hearing this, Shang Ji couldn't help but sit up straight: "Mr. Chen, please speak!" ”
A sentence of Mr. Chen shows that the current Shang Ji has treated Chen Mo as a representative of Yanhuang instead of a military general under his command.
"General, we want a thousand war horses!"
"At what cost?" Shang Ji was unmoved and bluntly said the core of the problem.
"The general knows more about the blacksmith workshop, right?"
Shang Ji nodded, there was a junior blacksmith technique in the black water plug, which was an important equipment support for Shang Ji's black armor Xuancai army expansion.
"We have a blueprint for the upgrade construction of the Intermediate Blacksmith's Workshop, and we hope to exchange it for a thousand war horses!"
"Not enough!" Shang Ji frowned and said in a deep voice.
Of course, the blueprints of the intermediate blacksmith workshop are needed, and it is really hard to say which is better or worse than the value of a thousand medium-grade war horses, but at present, in the entire "Beacon", only the merchants themselves need the drawings of the intermediate blacksmith workshop!
The minimum construction requirement for the Blacksmith Workshop is a small-city level base, and the Intermediate Blacksmith Workshop requires a medium-level city to be eligible for construction. The Black Water Fortress is a military fortress, and military-related buildings can be built beyond specifications, which makes Shang Ji qualified to build. But correspondingly, no non-military structures can be built in military fortifications.
For some reason, Yanhuang Town has been stuck in a large town for a long time, and it has not been able to be promoted to a small town. In other words, this intermediate blacksmith workshop construction drawing is completely chicken ribs for Yan Huang, and it is indeed worth a lot, but it is not to be used in a short period of time.
And war horses are in short supply at any time and place, and Shang Ji is fully qualified to bargain!
