Savanna¡¯s decision was like a gust of wind blowing through the entire Western Region. Baidu search enters "" to quickly enter this site
In order to survive, many powerful ministers and lords had to carefully consider Savannah's suggestions.
Especially those powerful ministers and lords who felt that their sins were so serious that there was no turning back and that they might never be forgiven by Savannah. It was as if they saw light in the darkness and heaven in hell, and they suddenly became extremely excited. . They seized this only opportunity without hesitation. Their movement speed is completely unmatched by others.
Yes, this is the only chance. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is Savanna's decision to please Xu Xingxia. For the future of the White Army, Savannah must put aside her personal grudges for the time being. She must think about Xu Xingxia. Otherwise, with Savannah's character, it would be impossible to give these people any chance of survival. This means that if they miss this opportunity, they will really be doomed.
Every powerful minister and lord in the Kingdom of Khorasan has his own private soldiers. There are many, thousands of people. The number is small, there are hundreds of people. Especially the elders of those tribes have a very large number of private armed forces. After all, the entire Khorasan Kingdom is actually a union of several large tribes. Behind Savannah, there is also a big tribe. Similarly, there is a powerful tribe behind Masatini.
In countries where the central power is weak, local power is always strong. This is not a situation unique to the seventeenth century. It is also true even in the twenty-first century. Specifically, in some remote areas, the queen does not even have the power to station officials, let alone levy taxes. All are autonomous by local tribes.
If the local tribe is in a good mood, they might listen to Her Royal Highness the Queen. If you are in a bad mood, no matter how nice Her Royal Highness the Queen says, they will not take advantage of you. In the southern part of the Khorasan Kingdom, the situation is a little better. In the northern part of the Kingdom of Khorasan, many people may not even know the name of Her Highness the Queen, let alone accept her orders.
When it comes to how many tribes there are in the Khorasan Kingdom, Savanna herself probably can¡¯t even tell. I dare not say that there are too many, but there are definitely more than a hundred. However, I am afraid no one can answer what the specific number is. It's like Afghanistan in the future. Even Americans don't know how many tribes there are in Afghanistan and how many armed forces there are.
Since this is the only chance, those powerful ministers and lords must risk their lives and actually snatch the heads of a few Sudanese soldiers to make a deal. Even if you can't grab a hundred, it's still good if you can't grab dozens. Don't expect to kill the good and take the credit. Since Savanna has made such a condition, she will definitely not let you achieve it easily. How could he let go of his enemies so easily? Therefore, they must show some sincerity.
If it were before, it would be basically impossible for them to deal with the elite Sudanese soldiers. The combat effectiveness of the private soldiers from various places in the Kingdom of Khorasan is obvious to all, and that is one word: rotten. Two words: sucks. Three words: Very bad. With the fighting power of the Sudanese soldiers, it would be enough to massacre them all.
Before, the private soldiers of Savannah's tribe had opposed the Ottoman Empire's army. As a result, they paid a heavy price in several conflicts. This is the most important reason why Savannah was forced to step down. No matter which queen, it is absolutely impossible to stay on the throne without the support of a strong army.
Fortunately, during this period of time, the morale of the Sudanese soldiers has dropped sharply after being attacked by the White Army, and their combat effectiveness has also been greatly weakened. They are no longer the former Sudanese soldiers. They should not even be called Janissaries. Because they no longer have such qualifications. Only the best among the best can enjoy this title.
Exhausted, frustrated and desperate, they no longer wanted to fight. For a group of people who have no intention of fighting, no matter how glorious their past was, now they are only destined to be massacred. Although Mahmoud realized that if this continued, their entire army was likely to be annihilated, but he no longer had the ability to turn the tide.
"Besides, behind the Sudanese soldiers, there are also white cavalry chasing after them. Under the pursuit of the White Army, Mahmud and the others simply didn't even have time to fart. They had to go as fast as possible. The time to fall asleep is very short, and I almost don't dare to fall asleep. If there is any disturbance, I will get up immediately and be ready to fight.
With such a high level of mental stress, it will naturally break down over time. The Sudanese Janissaries are not invulnerable, and there is a limit to the pain they can endure. It is estimated that the true god is too busy to deal with them at this time. Some Sudanese Janissaries,Now that he couldn't bear the torture, he decided to commit suicide with a knife. Their Damascus scimitars were extremely sharp, and it was not difficult at all to cut their own throats.
As one goes and the other goes, the combat effectiveness of the Sudanese soldiers declines rapidly, which in turn will naturally lead to a rapid increase in the combat effectiveness of the private armed forces of the Kingdom of Khorasan. After several trials, the local tribal armed forces began to attack the Sudanese soldiers one after another. They are local snakes in the Kingdom of Khorasan and are familiar with all the situations in the Kingdom of Khorasan. If they want to take advantage of the situation and attack the Sudanese soldiers, they will naturally feel relaxed and happy. Every time they attack, they will gain something.
In fact, as long as the local armed forces in Khorasan can hold back the Sudanese soldiers for several days, the white cavalry can arrive quickly. There are too many mountainous areas in the Khorasan Kingdom and the roads are very bad, so the speed of cavalry is actually about the same as that of infantry. As long as the cavalry of the White Army arrived, the intercepted Sudanese soldiers would be finished cleanly.
What Xu Xingxia regretted most at this time was that he did not have the foresight to transfer the mountain troops Tianxiang Army over. If professional mountain troops arrive, it is estimated that none of the Sudanese soldiers will be able to escape. It's a pity that the mountain troops are still training in Gansu Town. It will take at least three months to transfer them over, and we can't make it in time.
The retreating Sudanese soldiers were constantly pursued by the white-coated cavalry along the way. The losses were already very heavy, and when they were harassed by the local armed forces of the Kingdom of Khorasan, the situation became even worse. Almost every day, hundreds of Sudanese soldiers died for various reasons. After a few days, this number has become smaller.
"This Masatini is such a waste!" Arnade was furious.
Three years ago, when they arrived in the Kingdom of Khorasan, they were warmly welcomed by everyone in the Kingdom. As Mahmud's deputy, Annaid naturally had unlimited glory. At that time, he thought that the Kingdom of Khorasan was his back garden. Unexpectedly, just a few years later, the situation has undergone such earth-shaking changes.
Annaid was very worried about whether they could successfully retreat to the territory of the Safavid dynasty. He was even more worried that even if the remaining Sudanese soldiers could successfully retreat to the territory of the Safi Dynasty, they would not be able to escape the pursuit of the white-coated cavalry.
There is no doubt that the Safi Dynasty is definitely not within the limits of the White Army¡¯s pursuit.
If possible, the cavalry of the White Army will even continue to go all the way west, all the way to Baghdad and other places, and directly attack the Yellow Dragon of the Ottoman Empire. They have felt that the aggressive posture of the White Army will never stop easily.
"Why are the White Army so powerful? What gods do they believe in?" Annaid couldn't help but ask Mahmud.
"To be honest, I don't understand either." Mahmoud said helplessly.
For this experienced veteran, the appearance of the White Army was like a sharp sword, coming very quickly. Before, there were no signs at all. Even though he was resourceful and experienced, he was powerless to fight back in the face of such a rapid attack. The speed of this defeat was something that even Mahmud himself did not expect.
Being defeated by a little-known guy, leading a force he had never heard of, one can imagine Mahmoud¡¯s inner depression. Not only did he feel depressed, the entire Ottoman Empire felt very depressed. Unfortunately, what he wants to do now is not to fight back, but to preserve the effectiveness of the Sudanese soldiers as much as possible.
Judging from the current situation, the possibility of the entire army being annihilated is still quite high.
The direction of the Khorasan Kingdom has completely shifted towards the White Army. Most of the powerful ministers and lords are trying to find ways to wash away their previous "crimes". The only possibility to get rid of this crime is to submit a petition. Use the heads of the Ottoman Imperial Army as a certificate of surrender to the White Army. This is the most practical and simplest way.
However, this method is like a nightmare for the Ottoman Empire. Because they must always be on guard against whether the locals will attack them and cut off their heads. In the entire Kingdom of Khorasan, God knows how many people want their heads? Just thinking about it makes you shudder.
For their own safety, the Sudanese Janissaries must take the initiative to kill any hostile locals to ensure that no one can harm them. Especially when camping at night, all local people around must be cleaned up to avoid leaking secrets. As long as they are alive, regardless of gender, regardless of age, all must be cleaned.
As a result, this widespread and large-scale killing aroused strong resistance from the local people. With the butcher's knife on his neck, no matter how cowardly he is, he can only resist to the end. Yu ??, the Ottoman Imperial Army became a street rat that everyone shouted to beat, and the situation they faced became increasingly serious.
