Volume Two: The Iron-Blooded Baron Chapter 202: The Bloody Battle of Amondin (25)
"Sir, this bitch Sogg is really lucky. I thought that with a broken right hand and a lame left leg, he could only stay in the den." Bess said unwillingly.
"Hahaha!" Balian smiled, "Brother Bess, it must be reasonable for Vulcan to let certain people live. Let's just let Sog's head stay on his shoulder for a few more days. Sooner or later, I will chop it off with my own hands.
Take his head off."
After saying the harsh words, Balion asked Eomer: "By the way, have you asked about the whereabouts of Sir Pippin and the others?"
"Asked, my lord, the pirates took these nobles to their transit station in Yangweixuo County. The pirates said that as usual, they would ask for ransom from the homes of these captured nobles before evacuating.
They will be released only after a ransom is paid," Eomer replied.
"What if the captured noble family cannot raise the ransom?" Balian asked.
Eomer sighed and replied: "Then the pirates will tear up those with lower titles and cut them into pieces very cruelly to warn everyone that those with higher titles will be taken back to Toba Island to be cooked.
slave."
"What a beast!" Balian scolded angrily after hearing this.
Bess smiled at the side, "My lord, what good things can these evil heretics do? However, among these captured people, except for Sir Pippin who has some friendship with you, the life and death of others are not
That's all we can care about.
It's a matter of life and death. I can only blame these guys for being such useless people. They've already been in a war and they still sleep with that kind of woman. It's understandable that they won't end well."
Balian shook his head when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Brother Bess, although they really deserve it, after all, they are the people of my Brick Principality and the people of Vulcan. Just watch them being kidnapped by pirates."
Let's go, it won't be easy for us.
Besides, if we want to establish roots in the north, we need to deal with these nobles frequently and save them. With this feeling, it will be convenient for us to do many things in the future. We should try to have as many friends who owe us favors as possible.
In other words, it’s a good thing.”
"What you taught me is that your subordinates will remember it." Bess stood up and responded.
Balian waved his hand and motioned for him to sit down, "Don't be so serious, Brother Bess, I'm just telling you some of my own opinions. You just have to listen."
Balian does not force his subordinates to accept his point of view. After all, they themselves do not belong to the same time and space and at the same level of social development. It is impossible for them to understand and accept themselves in everything.
Even if you force others to accept your point of view, and they are convinced verbally but not convinced in their hearts, it will be greatly compromised in doing things. It is better not to force others, but to set an example and at the same time, use the benefits of doing so to let others
Everyone slowly accepted it.
After two lifetimes, coupled with such a big change, Balian understood many truths. One of them is that you can't rush things. The more you rush, the worse things you will do. Although all children know this truth, it has really happened to me.
, but often cannot do it.
The fundamental reason for this is that people do not have a clear understanding of the external environment and their own strength. Once you truly understand the external environment and understand your own strengths, you will naturally not be impatient about certain things and take your time.
The fastest, and the fastest to gain, is often the fastest to lose.
While they were talking here, the people below also calculated the seizures in this battle. A soldier came to report and invited several adults to check it out.
After Balian and the others arrived at the scene, they looked through the account books and found out that in this battle, they really made a fortune in Bangshui Town. In addition to the burned things, there were also things that the pirates had not had time to transport away.
A lot of money, food and supplies.
Various gold and silver coins, totaling about 300,000 dinars, in addition, there are nearly 100,000 pounds of pig iron in Soger's private collection. These pig iron really surprised Balian and the others, and they suddenly destroyed Fort Noland.
The pig iron reserves of the army have been increased to a higher level, and iron materials can also be used to expand the armor and weapons of the army.
However, there was definitely no way they could transport so much pig iron before the pirates returned to Bangshui Town. Balian had no choice but to have someone dig a big hole in the woods outside the town, bury all the pig iron, and make a disguise.
cover.
If you don't hide such important strategic materials as pig iron, the pirates will definitely find a way to transport them away. After all, their large ships can still carry a lot of things, and transporting goods by water is more efficient than Bellian's four-wheeled carriages.
high.
In addition, there are some cloth, fur and other supplies. There is quite a lot of cloth, and there is also some cotton. It seems that it is enough for the refugees gathered this year to survive the winter. There is no need to worry about them getting cold.
Among these items, Balian also found painted pottery products and soaps produced in Norlandenburg. When they saw these things, Bess, Eomer and others also laughed. It seemed that the pirates also regarded these things as
It's a valuable thing. Bass also joked that if there was a chance, he would do business with the pirates.
While everyone was laughing, Balian found a big box, which was full of burned gold and silver products found in the burned courtyard. There were many deformed triangular charms, necklaces, earrings, etc.
.
After Balian picked up one and looked at it, he couldn't help but sigh. He pointed at these things and said to everyone: "Look, these things are either for children or women. The pirates can gently pick them off from their necks."
Really? It seems like these guys have caused a lot of harm to us Brick people!"
The people who were laughing just now also fell silent after hearing Balian's emotional words. Although they didn't care much about the deaths of non-Norandenburgers, they felt very uncomfortable after truly knowing the tragic situation.
After all, they were members of a country that they shared the same faith with, but were brutally murdered by a group of foreign pagans. How could they feel so good?
Seeing the sun rising, Balian ordered: "Let the brothers clean up the battlefield quickly, take away everything you can, and hide everything you can't take away. After the pirates leave, we will come back to get it."
This time, Balian brought a lot of four-wheeled carriages with him. After loading the lighter and smaller items into the carriages, they sent the carriages and supplies back to Fort Nolandenburg. The rest were all made of pig iron.
They were buried in the woods outside the town and would be picked up after the war.
Anyway, no matter the pirates or Sog, after seeing the tragic situation in Bangshui Town, they will not think about supplies. They will only think about revenge or evacuating quickly. After all, the Kal River will be frozen in more than a week.
Once they are on the ground, they will not be able to leave even if they want to. In the ice and snow, they will not be able to defeat the Brick army that has gathered.
