Chapter 773: It's nice to be near Manze when it's quiet
The army of the Shangui tribe waited for work and hunger, and unexpectedly killed the already hungry Lou Fang army from the three directions north and southeast.
This was a completely asymmetric war. The Jinyuan army did not take any action, and the Lou Fang army was defeated. After leaving behind thousands of corpses and seven or eight thousand prisoners, the barbarian fox Weisyida fled with only more than 5,000 people in panic and fled to Lou Fang's army desperately.
Jin Ling ordered the Shangui tribe and Jinyuan army not to pursue, but to clean up the battlefield and arrest the soldiers of Lou Fang everywhere. He knew that the main force of Lou Fang tribe was attacking, and the rear was relatively empty, and Luqiu's shrewdness in governing the peace would definitely not miss this opportunity, and would definitely send troops to attack the rear.
Well, let the barbarian fox who was still breathing a breath, and the remaining 50,000 old and weak soldiers from the Lou Fang army, fight to the death with the right army. Anyway, after these days of battles to defend the city, the Lou Fang army can no longer afford to struggle.
After he rescued Sowell's family, Sowell expressed his intention to surrender and expressed his willingness to recognize Kalavar as the new leader of the mountain ghost tribe. Jin Ling also appointed him as the left general of the mountain ghost tribe through Galavar and Mushayi as the right general. The two of them managed their current subordinate troops. Jinyuan provided him with a certain amount of food and weapons. In return, Sowell actually launched a joint attack on Lou Fang under the name of helping Lou Fang.
The army of the Shangui clan searched for the scattered Lou Fang soldiers, arrested a total of more than 13,000 prisoners, all of whom were shackled and rushed to various places to build cities and clean up the dredging.
In addition to the city of Danluo, which mainly continues to practice, the Port of Flata also needs to build a city, and several slightly larger mountain ghost towns on the south side also need to build a city.
The dredging started from the Port of Flata, clearing a waterway with a water depth of up to three meters and can accommodate large ships without obstruction, and directly reach the port of Jinyuan, the southern Narcissus Township of the Northern Jin Kingdom. This is a very large project. Fortunately, the number of prisoners is also large, and they are all well versed in water.
Now these Lou Fang prisoners are willing to do anything as long as they give them some food.
Yang Lixuan took some subordinates to repair the hovercraft. After Sowell occupied the Port of Flata, he did not destroy the forty-one hovercraft. They were all well preserved. They only needed to repair some key formations and re-place the powered fairy crystals and re-used them.
The news of victory has been returned to Jinyuan with a letter from Feiying. Jin Ling told Qinghan and Gongsun Wei in the letter to prepare some industries to be purchased in Danluo City as soon as possible, and also to transfer some refugees from Jin to settle here.
He also brought a letter to Gu Shaogang for the same letter, and he must not forget the strong support from his allies.
The people of the Shangui tribe went out to fish and farm and resume production as soon as possible so as to ensure that they had enough food to continue to survive.
There was news from the left army that Feng Yuelan killed Bi Kai, the general of Baiyue tribe in blood. Shang Ran took the opportunity to advance south and defeated Baiyue tribe. His clan leader Li Dehui had no choice but to surrender to her and surrender to the Northern Jin Dynasty. Shang Ran continued to appoint him as the clan leader on behalf of Shang Zhen, but the land of the Baiyue tribe was already the territory of the Northern Jin Dynasty.
The news about the Right Route Army is not very good. The Lou Fang army is the strongest among the three barbarian divisions. Although the main elite troops were defeated, more than 50,000 barbarian soldiers were stationed. The Right Route Army finally captured Lou Fang with 30,000 to 50,000, relying on the opponent's defeat, the morale was dispersed and the equipment was worn down and backward, and finally captured Lou Fang. The leader of the Lou Fang, Wu Lifan, and the barbarian fox Weisyida, had to surrender to the Northern Jin Dynasty.
However, the Right Route Army suffered heavy losses. When they sent troops, 30,000 troops, only 16,000 people remained alive until the end of the war.
"I'm so tired." Jin Ling finally took a breath and lay on the deck of his huge hovercraft, holding a glass of five-star Jinpaiqu wine in his hand, and a Jinpai cigarette in his mouth, squirting comfortably.
Indeed, these things are too tense. The first time I led troops to conduct a large-scale battle, I still lack experience!
All the construction tasks have been assigned to each subordinate. Now he only needs to enjoy the peace in the sun.
"It's great to calm down Jinmanze." Yingxue walked to him.
"Yes, it's great." Jin Ling said, "I finally don't have to kill or intrigue anymore."
"Are you afraid of killing too many people?" Yingxue said, "Aren't you a god of killing?"
"In the past, I killed all the innocent people who died." Jin Ling smiled bitterly, "But, in such a cruel war, the soldiers on both sides were their own masters, and many of them were innocent people. But for the sake of victory of the war, they had to kill such innocent people."
"Although war can expand territory, it is really not a good thing." Yingxue said with regret. It can be seen that she felt very unbearable.
"We should actually think so." Jin Ling enlightened her, "These barbarians have barren land and their minds are ignorant. They often conquer each other. Wars between barbarians and barbarians also occur from time to time. The kingdom is unified and close to the southern bank of the barbarians, and at least some unnecessary killings can be avoided."
"I hope this can be done." Yingxue said quietly.
"Do you have some wine?" Jin Ling shook the wine pot next to him.
"Okay." Yingxue nodded. Perhaps she was in need of some wine to scatter her unpleasant mood.
The two of them drank lightly on the bow deck.
"Jin Ling, you are the biggest contributor to this battle against the barbarians." Yingxue said, "After going back, the King of Shang may reward you heavily. What reward do you want the most?"
"I don't want anything else. I just need the Shang King to fulfill his promise. Whoever captures the territory will belong to him. Don't regret it. Thank you for the land. The Shangui Tribe, even if it is captured by Jinyuan, should be managed by Jinyuan. I want to develop the industry of Jinyuan here." Jin Ling said.
"However, the land here in the Shanguibu is very barren and the people are also very poor. Apart from farming and fishing and hunting, there is not even a decent specialty product like cherry blossoms. How can Jinyuan's business industry be carried out?" Yingxue was puzzled.
"As long as there is a place to be free, there will be business." Jin Ling laughed, "There are no decent specialties, but those foolish barbarians have not discovered it. It does not mean that it does not exist. The God of Desolation gave this land a chance and always planted some surprises for it. We have not yet discovered it carefully with our eyes. How can we know that there are no rich minerals under this land, there are no precious immortal plantings and spiritual herbs in its wilderness, and there are no rare monsters in its deserts and Gobi?"
"For example, I also got a pair of sinking iron rods from the ghost witch Sudali. It is obviously not the style of the battle of the immortal soldiers of the Northern Jin Kingdom. It is very rough, but it was made by the barbarians themselves. So, where did these sinking iron come from? Buy it from the Northern Jin Dynasty? It is impossible? The sinking iron thing is also priceless in the Northern Jin Dynasty, and they can't afford it at all. So, is it possible that it exists underground of the barbarians and was found and dug out?"
"You're just an idea." Yingxue said.
"Report! Young Master!" Yang Lixuan rushed over nervously, panting, "Three miles outside the Port of Flata, I found a sinking iron ore located at the bottom of the ze River during the dredging process!"
