- Judging from the expression on Zhang Xiao's face, it didn't look like he was joking.
So, that is to say, he is speaking from his own heart, and he has indeed made up his mind to do so.
With the four thousand imperial army he brought, he fought against the three major tribes to compete for Cuman's hegemony.
Of course, from Zhang Xiao¡¯s point of view, this is understandable.
After all, the Ottomans had transferred the power of the Cuman region to the Song Empire. The Song Empire already had orthodox rule over Cuman and was the legal master of this desert.
However, due to some promoters of the Ottomans, the three major tribes of Cuman developed ambitions and coveted the dominance of Cuman. Therefore, the current situation in the Cuman Desert occurred.
The Song Empire, which could have peacefully accepted the power of Cuman, now had to use force to gain the right to rule here.
Because of the relationship between the three major tribes, the small and medium-sized tribes living in the Cuman area were all integrated, annexed and eliminated before the war broke out. Now only the Bedouin tribes are left.
In other words, the three major tribes have taken the small and medium-sized tribes of Cuman under their wings to rule and drive them. This approach has caused their strength to skyrocket in a short period of time.
So, the three major tribes, which were originally very powerful, were not so easy to fight against. Now when they become more powerful, they are even more unable to compete with them.
It is precisely for this reason that the Bedouin people, in front of Zhang Xiao, considered avoiding the sharp edges of the three major tribes, avoiding fighting with them, and instead migrating to the Cairo Imperial Concession to start a new life.
They made such a choice because they were forced to do so due to reality.
Survival and death, faced with these two choices before you, as the leader of the tribe, you should obviously know what is right for you to choose.
For the sake of the tribal people and ourselves, and based on the actual situation, it is only right to choose to quit and leave Cuman.
How else could it be done?
Is it possible that he really wants to fight with the three major tribes? Then let the entire tribe be wiped out by the opponent?
No!
It¡¯s not right to do this.
Even if you want to be a hero, there is no reason to let the entire tribe follow you to death.
¡°Besides, the leaders of these tribes are not heroes.
It can be said that such thoughts are not just a true reflection of the inner feelings of one or a few tribal leaders. Basically, the leaders of the thirteen tribes united by the Bedouin tribes have this idea.
That means they are not willing to confront the three major tribes.
However, some people already want to migrate away from Cuman. And some people are still hesitating whether they should choose to leave or stay and see the situation.
After all, like the Bagir tribe, other tribes also feel a little reluctant to leave the place where their ancestors lived.
Because they feel that this is a disservice to their ancestors.
If possible, it would be great to be able to survive this turmoil without leaving Cuman.
"It's a pity that such an idea is just an extravagant wish after all, and it is simply impossible.
The three major tribes will not allow the Bedouin tribes to unite and remain outside their control. Become the fourth force.
"Of course we respect your choice. But I have to tell the truth. Your troops are too small and cannot be compared with any of the three major tribes. Even the Tartanians, who have the smallest population. We can easily dispatch an army of more than ten thousand people, so I don¡¯t think this is a very wise choice.¡±
Chief Oma broke the dull atmosphere and expressed his opinion to Zhang Xiao.
His expression was very sincere and told an obvious fact. He hoped to impress Zhang Xiao and make him understand the gap between the enemy and him, so that he could give up such a decision.
but. Omar was destined to be disappointed.
Because he doesn¡¯t know anything about Zhang Xiao or the empire.
He simply doesn¡¯t understand what kind of existence the empire is. And as a member of the Imperial Army, Zhang Xiao is so proud.
Of course, this pride is not blind or arrogant.
Rather, it is based on the advantages of possessing sophisticated weapons, time-honored tactics, and elite soldiers.
Moreover, the empire¡¯s army has also experienced the test of blood and fire, and it is not the kind ofRookies who are dizzy with blood. Coupled with sophisticated weapons, timeless battle methods and tactics, and insights beyond this era, it is no exaggeration to say that the soldiers of the Imperial Army are the most elite warriors of this era.
Furthermore, the Imperial Army, which has superior weapons such as muskets, has many battle cases in which one small force hits many. So even when facing powerful enemies like the three major tribes, Zhang Xiao certainly has his confidence.
You must know that the establishment of the Song Empire was not so peaceful. And after the establishment of the Song Empire, the early Chinese genetic people cultivated by Zhao Hongyu had all experienced the baptism of war.
Furthermore, before Zhang Xiao and the others entered Cuman, they were also dispatched from the Americas to Europe, helping the French to guard the border in southeastern France for more than a year in the early stage.
At that time, opposite the 8,000 Imperial Army, the enemy had a full 70,000 to 80,000 Holy Roman Empire army.
In terms of numbers, the Imperial Army has a considerable disadvantage.
But even so, this Imperial Army of only 8,000 people still blocked the attack of the Holy Roman Empire, defended the French's southeastern border defense line, and bought time for the French.
Zhang Xiao was also one of them at that time and went through the battle to aid France for about a year and a half.
Before that, he had also participated in the Spanish crusade against South America and the strangulation war of South American indigenous people. It can be said that he had very rich combat experience and experience in commanding battles.
Earlier, he even participated in the war against the British and the Iroquois Indians after the establishment of the Song Empire.
After all, Zhang Xiao is one of the genetic people that Zhao Hongyu cultivated in the early days, so he has participated in so many battles. However, Zhang Xiao had a small personal flaw, which caused him to be replaced as a grassroots soldier every time he became a military officer.
This means that although he is one of the earlier batches of genetic people who were cultivated, his current status and title are the lowest.
About this. Zhang Xiao was indifferent.
However, it is precisely because of these experiences that he has rich experience in combat and command, especially in small corps operations with less than 10,000 people.
Therefore, even if the opponent is the three powerful tribes, Zhang Xiao is not afraid at all.
There is nothing wrong with the three major tribes being strong, but their tactics are backward and they are still in the cold weapon age. Even if they have an absolute advantage in numbers, comparing their overall strength does not necessarily mean that it is really impossible for our side to defeat them.
As long as tactics and plans are used properly, defeating the three major tribes will not be empty talk, even if one's own side has a huge disadvantage in terms of military strength. But it can also achieve final victory.
Zhang Xiao has strong confidence in this aspect.
However, Chief Omar and others don¡¯t know about Zhang Xiao¡¯s confidence. After all, they didn't know much about the empire, and they couldn't know why Zhang Xiao was so confident.
Farie, who was sitting next to Chief Omar, stared at Zhang Xiao, who looked proud and confident, with complicated eyes.
The little girl not only had a complicated expression on her face, but she was also very tangled in her heart.
To be honest, Farie, who has a very boyish personality, quite approves of Zhang Xiao's choice to fight against the three major tribes.
Don¡¯t forget that Farrie is a girl. But because she was raised by her father as a boy since she was a child, she has a very boyish temperament, which is completely different from ordinary girls.
From Farie¡¯s point of view, she admires Zhang Xiao¡¯s choice very much. Also very much agree.
Yes, the Bedouin people are proud. Their ancestors have demonstrated the reputation and honor of the Bedouin people through their martial arts. But now, the Bedouin people are still shrouded in the halo of honor left by their ancestors. But in fact it has gone downhill.
If this continues, the Bedouin will become useless.
Even when facing powerful enemies, our ancestors bravely marched forward and never flinched.
But look at it now. No one has such courage anymore.
In this regard, Farie felt very sad and disappointed.
But now, she saw these precious things in Zhang Xiao.
So, she appreciated it very much.
However, Farie did not deny that Zhang Xiao did have a big disadvantage at the moment. The number of imperial troops he brought was too small, only 4,000 people.
It is very easy for any one of the three major tribes to stand up and bring out an army of 50,000 to 60,000 people.
Therefore, Zhang Xiao¡¯s attempt to fight against the three major tribes with this small amount of troops is really a fantasy.
It is precisely because of this that while Farie admires him, she also feels that he is a little unwise.
Of course, Farie recognized Zhang Xiao¡¯s courage at least at this time. How could it be that at this time, none of the elders had the courage to confront the three major tribes?
Therefore, in Farie¡¯s opinion, Zhang Xiao is the only man with such a rare and valuable quality.
"My choice to stay is my own decision. I also respect your decision to leave Kuman." Zhang Xiao continued. "For the tribes that want to leave, I can write a letter to them and take it with them. When they get to the Cairo Concession, give it to the Governor. The Governor will know how to help you."
Zhang Xiao¡¯s subsequent words have made it very clear that he will not force everyone to stay with him to fight the three major tribes, and will also provide some help when they choose to move to Cairo.
This made the leaders feel relieved a lot.
They were worried that Zhang Xiao would force them to stay and fight the three major tribes.
Outside the tent, the night began to gradually fade away, and a wisp of morning light appeared on the horizon. Before he knew it, Zhang Xiao and the leaders had been talking all night.
And, they have reached a preliminary agreement (To be continued) - Didn't finish reading? Add this book to your favoritesI'm a member and bookmarked this chapterCopy the address of this book and recommend it to your friends for pointsChapter error? Click here to report
