The Hudd fled in scattered.

The black armored cavalry surrounded an officer with a shiny helmet and came to Lieutenant Colonel Jeska.

"I'll save your life," said the officer with a shiny helmet.

The one-eyed lieutenant colonel was not grateful: "I want to know what you are doing? How could you miss a whole thousand-man team?"

"The overseas dispatch failed to cure your mean disease." The other party smiled and said, "I really regret picking you up!"

The officer jumped out of the saddle, took off his helmet, revealing his carefully-treated beard and wild eyes - it turned out to be Lieutenant Colonel Custer Roderick, who went to Wolf Town to pursue smugglers a few months ago.

Caster and Jeska looked at each other for a long time, laughing and giving each other a bear hug.

...

Everyone was ecstatic when the rounds of things happened.

The people who survived the disaster killed pigs and sheep, drank happily, temporarily forgot death and pain, and celebrated them well.

The end of the carnival is the aftermath.

Sweep the battlefield, bury the dead, and hold simple funerals.

Many horses were left in Hed's camp. Except for some of them to Dusak, who lost the war horse, the remaining horses and the captured war horses were all taken away by the black armored cavalry.

Other spoils follow the conventional rules: small items belong to private, such as swords and large items belong to public, such as armor.

Lieutenant Colonel Custer looked down on Zhajia, so he gave them to the Jeska team.

Scattered items such as Saddlefish are sold directly to the merchants who accompany the team.

"Everything has a price", the merchant's desire to pursue profit amazed Winters.

Some people bought the blood-stained boots and robes that were taken off the corpse; some people also bought the Heds' arms and silver jewelry.

A businessman came to Lieutenant Colonel Jeska and bought all the horse corpses in a package.

Horse skin can be sold; horse meat can be cut into strips and marinated, and can be sold to the army before selling it; even horse bones have a place to go.

There was even a merchant who bought the Hed's left ear at a discount, and he brought the ear back to Paratu for rewards, while the soldiers could get cash directly.

A day ago, these people were weak civilians who could be bullied, and they used fire door guns to protect their families.

One day later, they turned into crows that fed on war, scrambling to peck at the Heds' bodies.

"The fastest way to create wealth is to build an empire, and the faster way to build an empire is to destroy an empire."

Winters could not remember where he had heard this sentence, but everything in front of him made the sentence echo in his mind.

...

The road ahead has been cleared, and the baggage team will set out again.

Although the Jeska Brigade once made a "lower and superior" incident, the lieutenant colonel did not mention this matter again, and the lieutenants kept silent, and everyone just thought that nothing had happened.

After a series of hard battles, some merchants found opportunities, while others did not plan to move forward, so they returned.

The wounded members of the baggage team also returned to Paratu with them, while some seriously injured people who were inconvenient to move remained in Hexi for nutritional injuries.

Many merchants have died under the knife, and they have been buried in the wasteland without even a tombstone.

Their belongings were either divided by others or brought back by loyal partners.

Some people get rich, some are unlucky, and they have always been like this.

...

Winters guarded the west gate of the camp and watched as the carriages slowly drove out of the military camp.

The length of the convoy was much shorter than when I first crossed the Styx, and it seemed a little empty.

A manned carriage drove by, the curtains of the carriage were opened, and the window frame was the face of monk Reed. The old charlatan waved at Winters with a smile.

Winters wanted Monk Reid to follow the merchant back to Paratu, but the old man used poisonous oath to swear to swear.

The old charlatan refused to return to Paratu, and Father Kaman refused to return to Paratu. So the two clergy continued to follow the army and followed the baggage team.

Lieutenant Colin also came to see him off. He found Lieutenant Montane and sincerely spoke up: "Thank you."

Winters just shook his head.

The lieutenant saluted the lieutenant and turned around and left.

Lieutenant Colin's 100-man team had basically lost its combat power, and Lieutenant Colonel Custer promised to help him ask the Legion to send someone to defend.

The double-carriage carriages of the baggage team drove away from Hexi Camp. Winters stepped onto the saddle and prepared to set off.

Charles and the other man supported each other and ran out of the camp, shouting to catch up with the lieutenant.

"What are you here for?" Winters frowned: "Leave it and take good care of the wound."

During the brutal battle for the west camp wall, Charle's right leg was penetrated by a heavy arrow. Fortunately, he did not hurt the artery or bones, but he was also unable to move and was classified as a wounded person.

"I'm going with you," said Charles.

"No." Winters didn't expect that the militia would also go to the battlefield at first, so he couldn't bear to take Benway's younger brother to a dangerous place.

"If you don't let me go, I'll follow you."

"Nothing! Is it a good place to go in front?"

Charles twitched his neck, obviously he had decided.

"I don't want to stay here either." Another wounded man bandaged on his head whispered.

Winters did not recognize Vahika until another person spoke.

If you get a heavy blow in the back of the head, you will be killed or knocked out.

Vahika was lucky enough to die, but the young man who loved to laugh and make trouble had been killed.

Winters wanted to refuse, but he suddenly remembered the old charlatan's words "good and misfortune depend on each other."

He thought serving in the militia was a good thing, but he brought many Dusaks into the Styx. Fate is a bitch, who knows what the future will be?

Winters sighed, "Must go?"

Shar and Vahika nodded.

"Let me find a big cart to take it, and I'll let it go." Winters thought for a while and added: "Washka, go find Lieutenant Bard and ask him to help you find a Hed horse."

"Yes!" Charles shouted happily.

Vahika supported Shir and quickly chased the cart.

The carriages of the baggage team were no longer full of food and food.

Therefore, the lieutenant colonel also began to allow militia to put their weapons on the car and take turns to rest in the car.

The black armored cavalry were also set off together. Lieutenant Colonel Custer divided three squadrons to chase Hudd's defeated soldiers. He personally led a squadron to escort the baggage team, which was a small benefit he gave to his old friends.

Lieutenant Mason's pig-driven team also joined the baggage team.

More than 400 militiamen and coachmen, three hundred pigs, more than 100 carriages, more than fifty prisoners, five officers, two clergymen and a lion, set out from the Hexi camp.

...

The official number of the Black Armored Pistol Cavalry is the Fifth "Plateau" Legion, the Second Cavalry Regiment, or the Caster Cavalry Regiment.

Facing the Hud Light Cavalry who is coming and going on the wasteland like the wind, the scattered supply line will be subject to a large number of troops and will be easily defeated one by one.

Therefore, passive defense is never within the consideration of the Paratu military.

Using rangers to break light cavalry and kill the enemy's mobile forces is the consistent strategy of the leadership of the Palatu army.

The Caster Cavalry Regiment that rushed to the Hexi Camp was such a ranger.

This unit usually patrolls the net along the supply line, and once there is a policeman, he will quickly gather for support.

The entire cavalry regiment has four squadrons under its jurisdiction, with a rated 720 troops.

But when fighting against the Hed Thousand-People Team, there were only more than 500 cavalry regiments. Now there are less than 45 cavalrymen who can continue to fight.

This is because cavalry is difficult to replenish and often fight less and less, so the cavalry troops are always dissatisfied with the formation during wartime.

In addition to the four combat squadrons, the Custer Regiment also has a reserve squadron in its organization, which is responsible for recruiting, training and replenishing personnel.

This is a truly elite standing cavalry, with twenty-six officers alone.

In contrast, the number of militias and wives in the Jieshika baggage team was close to 600, but there were only four officers in total.

Palatou has produced good horses since ancient times and has a deep tradition of cavalry.

The permanent cavalry of Veneta only accounts for 10% to 20%. For example, the Third Legion had only one cavalry brigade of 600 people, and when he went to the archipelago, he simply didn't bring it.

More than 40% of the Palatu's permanent army are cavalry, and the Fifth Legion has three cavalry regiments and several cavalry squadrons.

The country of galloping horses not only has more cavalry, but also has more capital for cavalry.

Andre ran to the Caster Cavalry Regiment for a walk, and when he came back, he kept muttering: "That's the real cavalry!"

The cavalry under Custer also had at least three horses, one riding horse, one pack horse, and one war horse.

There are special gun smiths who follow the army and are responsible for repairing and maintaining guns.
