Encountered a sneak attack by the Kurds under the vassal Tatanir, and in this situation, the Imperial Army reversed the unfavorable situation and defeated the Kurds.
Using the word "defeat" to describe a sudden battle is obviously insufficient. It should be more correct to use the word "annihilate".
Yes, it means annihilating all the enemies.
To be honest, after listening to the description of this battle, the thirteen Bedouin leaders were very surprised.
It's surprising.
Because in their memory, if they encounter such a sudden attack, if they are in such a disadvantageous situation, it is simply impossible to do what the Imperial Army does.
Unless you have several times more troops than the enemy, you can do this.
Furthermore, it is likely to cause chaos to the army for a while in the early stage.
However, these are not the main point, because what surprised them most in the stories of the subordinates was about the process of the Imperial Army annihilating the Kurdish cavalry, and the Imperial Army's "zero casualties" record.
Yes, this is what surprised them the most.
In the era of cold weapons, achieving "zero casualties" is basically the same as the magical stories in the picture book "Arabian Nights" circulated in the Arab world. It is simply impossible.
No matter how well-equipped an army is, it cannot achieve zero casualties.
Even if the enemy you face is very weak.
¡°If ten thousand people fight against three thousand people, if the side with more troops can achieve a battle loss of no more than one thousand people, that would be a great achievement.
After all, war in the cold weapon era requires soldiers to fight face to face. Instead of being like in the era of hot weapons, missiles alone can hit the enemy from a long distance.
Therefore, zero casualties is simply a legend that cannot be believed.
You know, even after the future enters the 21st century. In some military conflicts and wars in the world, zero casualties cannot be achieved.
Therefore, Zhang Xiao and the others were shocked that there were zero casualties in the battle with the Kurds.
Zero casualties!
To this extent, the Imperial Army also wiped out the Kurds who made a sneak attack.
This is a fucking battle that is simply unbelievable.
Are these guys exaggerating on purpose?
More than one person thinks so.
However, the thirteen tribal envoys who followed Aziz to Cairo all unanimously said this with certainty, so this matter obviously cannot be false.
Oh my God!
Is the Imperial Army really that powerful?
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????: When we are attacked by someone, we can come back and annihilate the enemy without losing anyone.
This kind of thing really makes people who hear it feel fantasy. It is beyond their cognitive scope.
But after all, this is a fact. Even if they don¡¯t want to believe it in their hearts, the fact is such a result, and they can¡¯t help but not believe it.
If it is possible for a person to exaggerate, but it is impossible to send an envoy to Cairo, then the envoys who returned with Zhang Xiao and the others said so.
No one has the ability to say such good things for the Imperial Army, and there is no need for everyone to speak in a unified voice.
Besides. The envoys sent to Cairo were not from the same tribe. They came from thirteen tribes in the Bedouin Union.
So, in the end, the leaders. I have to accept and believe it.
That is, the Imperial Army is indeed very strong, even ridiculously strong. Because with such a record as the Imperial Army, at least none of these tribes can achieve it.
For the strong. They should show awe and respect.
Besides, the thirteen tribes united by the Bedouin have reached an agreement that they will join the Song Empire. Then the Army of the Song Empire coming from Cairo was powerful. It's also a good thing for them.
However, what makes them feel a little disappointed is that it would be nice if the Song Empire had more troops.
After all, the Imperial Army under Zhang Xiao only has 4,000 soldiers.
Although they are very powerful, and have shown their strength through a sneak attack battle, they have proved this.
But the Song Empire¡¯s army of only 4,000 wanted to take over Cuman¡¯s power and protect the safety and interests of the Bedouins who had taken refuge. Obviously,It's unlikely.
You must know that whether it wants to take over the power of Cuman or protect the interests and safety of the Bedouin, the Song Empire needs to face the three major tribes.
The three major tribes are the well-deserved giants in the Cuman region. Whether in terms of population or number of troops, they are existences that the Bedouin coalition cannot resist.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Out of an army at random, they can sweep away the Bedouin.
So, what could the Song Empire achieve with just four thousand troops?
The best result is just to resist for a little longer.
The leaders do not think that these four thousand Imperial Army can defeat any of the three major tribes.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????Besides proving that the Song Emperor's army is indeed very strong, there is nothing too special, right?
When four thousand people face an army of 50,000 or even 100,000 people, the quantitative changes and disadvantages cannot be easily solved.
The Tartanians have suffered a loss this time and may not take any action in the short term. However, given the character and style of the Tartanians, revenge is certain.
So, it is expected that the next time they encounter the Tartanians, it will be more than just a vassal Kurdish cavalry of more than 2,000 people.
??Maybe it will be an army of more than 10,000 people.
These thoughts were the thoughts of the thirteen Bedouin leaders, but they did not say them out, they kept them in their hearts.
Even Farie¡¯s father, Omar, the chief of the Bagir tribe, thinks so too.
Omar¡¯s attitude affected Farie.
The girl was also worried about the future and began to think about how to save the tribe and survive this storm.
As for Zhang Xiao himself, he didn¡¯t take these things to heart at all.
For him, being able to defeat his enemies is not uncommon in this world. But they will definitely not be the so-called three super tribes in the Cuman region. Because they don't have that ability.
Of course, although Zhang Xiao will not take the three major tribes seriously, he still has some caution. He will not be blindly arrogant and arrogant, but just relax his vigilance.
After all, he didn¡¯t want to capsize and delay the major events of Mabond and the empire.
The Cuman region is very important to the empire and is an important part of its future development.
In the near future, after controlling the Cuman region, the empire can develop the oil under the Cuman Desert. to obtain huge wealth.
This wealth can be converted into funds needed for the development of the empire, helping the empire develop more rapidly.
It can be seen that the burden on oneself is still very important.
"Moreover, among the armies outside the Americas, he is the only one that can be used.
For a long time, the empire will no longer be able to send troops to fight outside its homeland.
Therefore, you must protect yourself as much as possible. Then gain the right to rule Cuman.
Today, the empire¡¯s armies outside the mainland include garrisons stationed in the seven major fortresses in Australia, as well as armies that are exploring the islands of Southeast Asia. As well as the armies of Japan's Kyushu and Ming Dynasty's Jinzhou.
There is also an army of 4,000 men in Europe that went to Marseille as a defensive army, which was impossible to mobilize.
So, now you can enter Cuman. There is only his own army.
Although the number of Chinese people in the empire is still rising steadily. However, there are also many troops sent abroad, which disperses a lot of Chinese people.
And the current domestic population in the Americas. The number of Chinese descendants is not yet the majority, so in order to maintain stability and prevent ethnic groups other than Chinese descendants from becoming ambitious, it is impossible for the empire to send troops abroad again.
Zhang Xiao understands that he can look down on the three major tribes here, but he absolutely cannot let himself fail because of carelessness.
Therefore, Zhang Xiao will definitely face all future crises and difficulties with caution.
At the same time, the Bedouin leaders were also extremely worried about the future crisis.
The bearded man sitting next to Omar and talking to him felt uneasy in his heart, so he kept talking to Omar.
Chief Oma still likes his daughter's contact with Zhang Xiao outside.
Although the strength of the Imperial Army is somewhat smaller, it is basically undoubtedly elite. So, these elites can be useful at critical moments, right?
Therefore, if something really happens between Farie and Zhang Xiao, Chief Omar would be very happy to see it. Moreover, he still vaguely hoped that something would happen.
Unfortunately, although he hopes so, he has no control over this.
" This kind of thing must be done by both his daughter and Zhang Xiao. It's impossible for him to be enthusiastic about it.
"Aziz was also an envoy to Cairo, representing our Bajir tribe. At dusk, Aziz also told me about the battle at that time, and he was very detailed."
Omar slowly turned his head, looking away from his daughter and Zhang Xiao outside the tent, and focused on the bearded man beside him.
"To be honest, I was also surprised by the combat effectiveness displayed by the Imperial Army, because we Bedouin warriors cannot do this."
The bearded man nodded slowly, he agreed with what Omar said.
"It can be seen that the Song Emperor's army dispatched from Cairo should be very elite. However, the number of troops is too small, and I am afraid that it will be of limited help in the future."
Omar expressed his opinion.
The bearded man clapped his hands hard and said something similar to what he saw on his face.
"Yes, I think so too. This army of the Song Empire is elite, but unfortunately the number is too small. I also think it will not be of much help to the future. So I think we should consider it and stop Kuman is struggling here, should he think about his retreat?"
The bearded man expressed an idea he had thought deeply about, and then looked at Omar intently, wanting to hear what the leader of the Bagir tribe had to say about this. (To be continued)
