Chapter 22 The Victor’s Gains

But Tai'an's sudden retreat was unexpected by everyone.

Although the current war situation is unfavorable, it has not yet reached the point of despair. Most of the Hakarans are thinking about continuing to fight, and it is hard to say who will win.

If it really doesn't work, just run away.

But what they didn't expect was that Tai'an's choice was to run away directly and not give these people a chance to sell him.

When people discovered that the chief's figure under the banner had disappeared and his troops began to retreat, Harklan's army collapsed completely.

Whether they still had fighting spirit or lost it, they all fell apart because of Ke Tai'an's escape, and the Haqlan people were completely disbanded.

The scene of the collapse of the nomadic army was naturally seen by Braven, and he ordered the horn to be blown again.

Blow the horn that represents counterattack, urging the Cossacks to pursue and fight.

The Cossacks were naturally extremely happy. Everyone could see that the end of the Harklan people was imminent, so how could they not seize this opportunity to make a fortune.

Looking at his comrades who were chasing the Haklan people, Hemei finally let out the anger she had been holding on to, and she felt more relaxed than ever before.

Now that the battle is finally over, he can breathe a sigh of relief.

After taking Panasonic's breath, Hemei immediately felt fatigue coming over him like a wave. He felt weak under his legs, but fortunately, he concentrated and regained his consciousness the next moment.

Then I felt a little scared inside. It would be really embarrassing if I fell down in front of so many soldiers.

"Marondo, I leave this place to you."

Herme dropped these words and asked Viato to bring him a stool. He felt really exhausted now.

Viator's condition was not very good either. The young attendant's robes were stained red with blood. He was also fighting on the front line just now, standing beside Herme when facing Harklan's cavalry.

But now his face is full of excitement, because in that fight, he killed two Harklan nobles and captured one.

Such a great victory made him excited beyond words.

Compared with when he first came to serve as a servant under Hemei, Viato is obviously much more confident. This distant relative that Hemei brought from his hometown is becoming more and more mature.

Hemei was wondering whether to arrange some new tasks for this boy after returning.

The quality shown by Viator is quite good, and he can obviously take on more suitable tasks.

On the other side, Marendo cheered up and called on the soldiers to clean the battlefield and gather the wounded.

Although everyone was tired, their faces were full of excitement.

Because they knew that it was they who changed the situation of the war and won the victory, even the wounded.

This can be seen from the Cossacks who looked at them in awe. After the loud noise that resounded throughout the battlefield, everyone knew what they had done and realized their achievements.

It was also for this reason that the people in Sazha Fort did not muster the strength to rush out of the car formation to pursue the Harklan people, because they knew that the spoils would be inevitable for them.

Several Cossack herbalists arrived, claiming to be sent by Bravin. With these professionals, the wounded could also receive proper care.

"What is that? How do you do that?"

Hemei, who was resting, heard a voice that was familiar to him. He raised his head and saw that it was Katya who came into view.

The girl was looking at Sazabao's fire portal gun with uncontrollable curiosity in her eyes.

Hemei was not surprised by such a look. The moment the battle situation was decided, he thought that he would inevitably encounter such a situation next.

But Hemei had a strange feeling. There seemed to be something else underneath Katya's curiosity, but he couldn't feel what it was.

And this strange feeling disappeared quickly, and Hemei didn't care.

"The Fire Gate Gun, the masterpiece of the warlock in Sazar Castle, is a very good weapon."

Hemei introduced it concisely and concisely. He did not talk about the principle of this thing. Although this thing is not difficult, it should not be said carelessly.

"Then if my father wants to buy it, can you sell these fire portal guns?"

Katya then asked. Faced with this question, Herme thought for a while, and then he answered.

"We can talk. If Lord Braven is interested in buying it, we can talk."

Hemei decided to sell it and sell more when the value of the fire door gun could still be obtained.

He had already thought about this when he got the things from Dilban, so that he could sell more and make more money when he could still sell them for a lot of money.

It would be better to build up the reputation of Sazha Fort as early as possible. Anyway, the Harklan people have mastered the technology of the gunpowder. They will not be able to figure out the gunpowder formula for a while. This is not the north and there are not so many gunpowder masters. Then they will still have to

Come to Sazha Fort to buy.

We are not afraid of losing our advantage because Dilban has better research.

Then it will be a real killer weapon, something that can change the battlefield...

Of course, he knew very well that according to the technological level of this world, those things would be everywhere within a few years after they appeared on the battlefield. But if you master the time for the weapons to appear, a few years of advantage would be enough.

The sudden cheers attracted the attention of the two men. They turned around and found that the ridge where the nomads came had been occupied by Cossacks at some unknown time.

And those cheers came from behind the ridge, and the voices were full of excitement and the joy of making a fortune.

The reason for cheering was simple, because they discovered that on the other side of the ridgeline was a huge camp of nomads.

That means countless livestock, countless people, and countless glory, all of which are just waiting for them to get it.

"Looks like they found something exciting."

Hemei raised his head. He didn't see anything over there, but it didn't affect what he said.

"Yes, a brilliant victory..."

Katya murmured, but her eyes were actually always on Hemei, but Hemei didn't pay attention.

.

The Cossacks won a great victory, a great victory that had not been seen for many years.

Even the victory against the nomadic tribes more than ten years ago was not as great as this harvest.

Due to Ke Tai'an's sudden escape, most of the Harklan people didn't realize what was going on.

Only Ke Tai'an's tribe ran away intact. When the others realized what was going on and quickly mobilized their tribesmen to run away, the Cossacks had already rushed in front of them.

Naturally, what followed was a feast of killing and slave-catching. Many Harklans were killed, more Harklans became prisoners, and their cattle and sheep became the trophies of the Cossacks.

The nomad camp that once held a hundred thousand people was reduced to ruins, and the Cossacks cheered wantonly on it, cheering for this great victory.

However, there were still a lot of Harklan people who ran away. After all, the Harklan people had war horses per capita.

This determines that if they want to run, they will run very fast.

When the Haklan people fled, they were filled with hatred for Ketian. In their view, if this man hadn't suddenly run away, how could the situation have developed into the disgusting situation it is now.

They all swore to Niya that after leaving here, they would seek revenge on that bastard Ke Tai'an, and he must pay the price for what he had done!

Of course, as for the idea of ​​​​running away and leaving Ke Tai'an behind when the situation is unfavorable, I will not mention it at all now.

But what the lucky ones who escaped that killing field didn't expect was that they needed to be wary not only of the Cossacks, but also of their compatriots...

.

A group of Harklan riders rushed out of the forest. The target of their attack was not the pursuing Cossacks, but a group of Harklan troops and tribesmen who had escaped from the killing field.

The refugees were naturally unable to resist the soldiers. After leaving a few corpses behind, they surrendered very simply. Then they were taken away by the ambushers and all their belongings were robbed.

Many scenes like this happened at the same time, and if you ask where these ambushers came from, you will find that they are all sent by Ke Tai'an.

Yes, Ke Tai'an.

After leading his tribe to retreat for a certain distance, the Harklan chief immediately sent scouts to determine the situation in the rear.

After discovering that the Cossack had no intention of pursuing the enemy after plundering the camp, he quickly made a new decision to kill him with a carbine and capture all the survivors.

But Tai'an knew better than anyone how annoying his operations here were, pushing many people into a pit of fire. The tribes he had victimized must remember this hatred.

Although the daily life of Hacklan Grassland is filled with intrigues, some things still cause public outrage.

Then in order to solve future troubles, wouldn't it be enough for him to completely annihilate these tribes?

Defeat them to gain livestock and loot, while manpower can be absorbed.

After all, ordinary people in Haklan have no psychological pressure to become members of other tribes.

Or sell them as slaves. Whether it's other Harklan tribes or Serikanians, there are always people willing to take slaves.

But if leaders, nobles and chiefs are captured, they must be executed. They are unstable factors.

But Tai'an's decision frightened many of his subordinates, even the evil cannibals who had seen the chief.

They were afraid of Ke Tai'an's ruthlessness. This guy really didn't do anything, and once he did, he would make things clean.

Because of this scene, many people swore in their hearts that they would never betray the chief. With his cruel methods, they would never be able to defeat him.

But Tai'an's plan was successful because he arranged ambushes on several escape routes, which made most of the survivors his prisoners.

After completing these "finishing" tasks, Ke Tai'an returned to the grassland with his tribe.
To be continued...
