Chapter 215 It's not about money!
This night was particularly long.
A valley in the 100,000 mountains is full of mess, and the whine of some cold birds echoes, adding to a little bit of loneliness. The black smoke rises into the air, blown away by the wind and melts into the endless curtain, and the night becomes deeper.
This battle of tens of thousands did not last long, especially after the leader of the thief group was killed. The morale of the bandits collapsed rapidly, and he missed the best time to retreat and was completely cut and surrounded by soldiers of the gray-clothed army. At that time, the bandits were more like headless flies and had the luck to crash into the mountains and escape, but they more often bumped into Xueliang's sword and became a dead soul.
In this battle, the thieves of the Fierce Wind were removed from the list and the village was destroyed.
The gray-clothed army naturally celebrated a lot. A large thief group and more than a hundred bandit leaders were wiped out. It is no exaggeration to say that this was a reward for one battle. And more importantly, their harvest this time was also quite good. The thief group stood on a hundred thousand mountains for decades, and countless caravans were plundered, and the gold, silver, treasures, food and equipment gathered were almost calculated in warehouses. In fact, the battle time was only spent in the middle of the night, and most of the night was spent cleaning the battlefield and transporting spoils.
Here comes home with a lot of loads, but the news over there spreads like that.
Although Qianfeng is not a top thieves group, it is also ranked in the top 100,000 mountains, and is only a line of distance from the tip of the pyramid. Of course, people will care about its every move, and some of the bandits who escaped last night. Before dawn, news spread everywhere.
It was like a thunderclap in the plain in spring, and hundreds of thousands of mountains were shaken.
To be honest, the bandits' impression of the gray-clothed army was still at the beginning. The character of the bandits who had more than tens of thousands of people, with their families, was crushed by Bran's regular army all day long. This was also the reason why they knew that many of their colleagues had been wiped out, but they were still reluctant to move away.
But now, just one night, the thief group of nearly 10,000 gangs was destroyed, and even the leader's head was taken away! Damn it was definitely made by the gray-clothed army? Instead of being a main legion of the front-line empire transferred back...
The shock did not end because of this. As the news content continued to enrich, the situation last night gradually recovered.
The bandits were shocked to find that it turned out that it was not just a group of thieves who were eliminated, but also more than a hundred bandit leaders. They were originally discussing a meeting to deal with the gray-clothed army, but were taken down in one fell swoop...
The bandit group is not as good as the army. If the general dies, the deputy general will just act as the agent. It can be said that basically as long as the leader dies, the bandit group will be dispersed. It is not that there is no deputy, but the key is whether it is a question of whether to accept it. As long as there is a little strength, who doesn’t want to be the boss? After an internal fight, even if it barely disperses, it will be severely damaged.
In this way, the battle between the gray-clothed army was even more terrifying. They almost destroyed more than a hundred bandit groups overnight.
After receiving this complete news, the remaining bandits no longer dared to hesitate. They didn't even bother to eat breakfast and cleaned up the collective relocation.
In this way, the 100,000 mountains are rare and lively. Needless to say, the key is that it is suitable for robbery. There are so many places to hide, and the giants must also be eliminated. In this case, we must naturally follow the rules of the Tao, that is, whoever has the biggest fist will occupy it!
Not to mention how the battle between the Hundred Thousand Mountains was so vigorous. A few days later, the news also caused an uproar when it reached Zhongcheng.
In fact, it shouldn't have been so sensational. The citizens have become accustomed to seeing the bandits' names that keep appearing on the promotional paper these days. But the key is that after a while of silence, the official newspaper has once again raised new arguments. That is, although the gray-clothed army has announced a lot of lists, they are actually small fish and shrimp, which is not worth mentioning.
Unexpectedly, in just two days, the face was beaten again. The Wind Thieves Group, is it a little fish and shrimp? Besides, even if it is a little fish and shrimp, how many has Bran wiped out over the years?
Needless to say, in the face of these doubts, the official newspaper once again chose to lose voice. It is also a pity that these newspaper editors are also frustrated. With Bran's strength, it is still not a big problem to eliminate some bandits. Although it is difficult to find a place to hide, you can still get some of them under the large-scale net. But the key is that Bran has never paid attention to it before, and now he finds that the gray-clothed army uses this publicity, and he can't make any efforts if he wants to pay attention, because they are now fighting with the Northern Wilderness, so naturally they don't have the time to eliminate the thieves behind them.
So after some confusion, the official newspaper simply ignored it and posted a list of bandits that had been wiped out by the regular army before. Of course, they didn't care whether there were "little fish and shrimp" in it at this time.
However, the official does not pay attention to it, which does not mean that the public does not pay attention to it. After Breno's first-level transport was transported to the gate of a nearby city, the city was completely boiling and a big carnival was held again.
Of course, the gray-clothed army in the mountains did not know about these things. They are now happily digesting the legacy of the Fierce Wind Thieves.
If Qianfeng has not done anything in vain in recent years, the grain transported back temporarily solved the urgent needs of the gray-clothed army. The other things similar to weapons and armor also greatly supplemented the military supplies. Among them, Luosha and others were the most happy about the dozen Taichung-type city-guard crossbows. These defensive weapons originally placed above the Qianfeng Village Gate were captured because of a sudden attack. Needless to say, they happened to be laid on the built city wall. In the end, the boxes of gold, silver and treasures were the most difficult to deal with. These were all dirty things, and the only way to deal with them was to take a scattered action like Tang En did last time. But there were too many in front of him. It was probably going to take a lot of time to spread them without attracting attention.
Although it was a bit troubles, these were also happy troubles. After seeing this harvest, Luosha and other senior officials were shocked and were also moved, and they wanted to attack other large thieves.
Of course, this is just thinking about it. It is undoubtedly unrealistic to carry out such combat operations. The Fierce Wind Thieves Group is doing their own death, otherwise the Grey Army might not have moved them. Moreover, fighting Fierce Wind is a famous division. After all, they have to connect and conspire to deal with the Grey Army. It is inappropriate to fight others. In the final analysis, this is just a war initiated to prove its reputation.
Moreover, the appeal of large and even top thieves is huge, which can be seen from Breno's convening more than a hundred bandit leaders at one time. Once they are too anxious, they feel that their lips and teeth are cold and they join forces to resist, the gray-clothed army will probably be in a hurry.
This is a question of degree, and if it goes beyond it, it will hurt. Luosha and the others also knew it in their hearts, so they shook their heads with regret and sighed.
...
As for the gray space, Tang En went deep into the hinterland of the village and cut off Breno's head with his own hands. He made great contributions. David and others created chaos everywhere and laid the foundation for a surprise victory. The elite soldiers also showed their faces. The village gate was blown up by them, which was a good start.
Among them, Tyton and the others were praised by the old Marshal Oumeng and awarded the medal. Tang En and the others... Luo Sha sent it with one sentence. Your contribution is huge and there is no reward. I really want to find Zofan yourself...
Tang En was naturally dissatisfied with this result. Zofan agreed in advance. The Fierce Wind Thieves Group was an emergency and should have another reward. Besides, if you really don’t want to, you can pay more military pay...
This kind of entanglement is not a shortage of money. According to Tang En's words, this is not a matter of money... Well, Tang En is indeed short of money now. The ring given by Allen is like an unlimited credit card, but the new city of the Gray Clothes Army does not have "Authorized cash machines"...
As the city began to take shape, some business-minded people raised money to build some new taverns and shops, etc. Although the store was small, it looked like a city. Fei Rui invited Tang En to drink before, and bought it here. For such business development, Losha and others strongly supported it and gave preferential policies to encourage it.
But doing business is naturally not the same as before. When you come in to eat and drink, you have to pay for money. Tang En's friends, Frey, Tyton, Frey and others are all poor. Speaking of which, Tang En is the richest, and adheres to the logic of the robber brothers who are rich and spend. As long as Frey and the others want to drink, they will pull Tang En to pay the bill. And since you are drinking, you can't just hire someone, like David and the others, the elite soldiers, Frey's men... In just ten days, Tang En felt under great pressure.
"Hey, you don't need to do this." Luosha sat behind the desk with a lot of laughter and cry, looking at Tang En who was sitting aside and not leaving, "Your military pay in the gray space is not low, and it has only been a few days since the distribution."
This is the truth. Since the kidnapping of the old nobles, the gray-clothed army has been operating in time and has made some money one after another. Especially when destroying the dozen or so knight manors, it has made a lot of money. Therefore, the military pay in the past few months has been paid in full. The gray space enjoys regiment-level treatment, and the military pay is indeed not low. But these are paid once a month, and it is simply a drop in the bucket.
"Ahem, I'll emphasize again, this is not a matter of money." Tang En touched his nose and looked serious, "If you have merit, you have to reward it. This is a matter of principle."
"Tsk tsk, this has risen to the level of principle!" Luosha smashed his mouth and said with a light curl of his mouth, "Okay, since that's the case, I can give you some rewards."
"Uh?" Tang En was stunned. Of course he knew Luosha's personality. It can be said that he was similar to him. He was the master who didn't show off the rabbit or the eagle, but now he just agreed so easily?
"But..." After the ending sound was extended, Luosha narrowed his eyes and smiled, "This money is not for nothing. I happened to have a small thing, you can do it for me."
Sure enough! Waiting for me here, this is Luosha... Tang En sighed in his heart, then straightened his waist slightly, and asked vigilantly: "What's the matter?" He didn't believe what Luosha said, so he did it casually.
"Hey, what's your attitude... Don't worry, it's really just a small matter for you. Haha, yes, a small matter..."
