Text Chapter 1401 Arabian Storm (Seventy-two)

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Since the thirteen tribes united by the Bedouin tribes left Koso, more than 600 warriors from various tribes who voluntarily stayed behind began to receive military training from Zhang Xiao's instructors.

    The time is not very long, only five short days.

    However, these five days of training also allowed these more than 600 Bedouin warriors to understand the tactics of the Imperial Army and become familiar with the use of muskets.

    Although I¡¯m not very skilled in operating muskets, I don¡¯t know everything.

    Besides, Zhang Xiao didn¡¯t have the extravagant expectation that these people would become elites in just five days.

    ¡°Now that he thinks about it, as long as he knows how to use a musket, that¡¯s fine, right?

    After all, with the 4,000 Imperial Army troops led by Zhang Xiao and the more than 600 Bedouin warriors, the entire force had less than 5,000 troops.

    With just these troops, it is impossible for them to stand up to any of the three major tribes.

    Therefore, under such circumstances, hand-to-hand combat with cold weapons is a very unwise way of fighting.  No matter how courageous you are, no matter how superb your fighting skills are, you still won't be able to function in a crowded battlefield.

    It will be different if you use a weapon like a musket.

    This weapon can kill enemies from a long distance, making hand-to-hand combat almost impossible.

    This will allow our side to reduce losses while maintaining a certain level of combat effectiveness.

    At the same time, enemies who are not used to fighting with hot weapons will definitely lose their fighting spirit and collapse when faced with muskets.

    You must know that rows of volleys of gunfire are very scary for the army in the cold weapon era.

    Especially when you see rows of comrades falling down, this shocking scene is absolutely unforgettable.

    Weapons such as muskets can not only inflict heavy physical damage to the enemy, but also bring an indescribable mental shock.

    Therefore, in Zhang Xiao¡¯s plan to conquer Cuman, he never thought about fighting the enemy in hand-to-hand combat.  It is about taking advantage of one's own weapons to the fullest extent possible.  The same goes for the more than 600 Bedouin warriors who joined by the way.

    By following the continuous battles between themselves and the Imperial Army, as long as they can survive two battles, then these people can reach the standard that satisfies Zhang Xiao.

    Of course, Zhang Xiao did not have high expectations for the combat effectiveness of these six hundred people.

    His request is very simple, as long as half of the people can survive.  And these surviving Bedouin warriors, after understanding the power of the Imperial Army, will become ideological seeds leaning towards the Empire when they return to their tribes in the future.

    ¡° If we want to face the three major tribes head-on, we still have to count on the Imperial Army led by ourselves.

    I want to conquer the hegemony under Cuman¡¯s current environment and situation.  He can only count on the Imperial Army he leads.

    Zhang Xiao has a deep understanding of this.

    "Sir, according to the latest intelligence, the Tatanil people have begun to launch an offensive against the Buku people in the past few days. At the same time, the Kopuyali people have also launched a military attack against the Bukut people. It seems that we judge that the two tribes have united.  It has been confirmed that the Bukut people will be hanged together.¡±

    In the past five days, Zhang Xiao has not relaxed his intelligence collection on the three major tribes, so he has been able to grasp the trends of the three major tribes in a timely manner.

    Before arriving at Corsola Mode earlier, Zhang Xiao listened to Aziz¡¯s story.  There is already such a judgment.

    Now the facts have proved that his judgment was not wrong.

    As expected, the Tatanir people took advantage of Bukut. On the surface, they wooed and befriended Bukut, and even gave away one of the chief's sisters.  A daughter of the deceased old leader was sent to the Bukut people for marriage.

    This series of actions all show that the Tartanians are making good friends with each other.

    However, privately, the Tatanians reached an agreement with the Kopuyali people to join forces to deal with the paralyzed Bukut people.

    have to say.  The Tartarians' calculations were really good.

    "How is the war going? Do you have any detailed information in this regard? What is the current situation of the Bukut people? They are facing the joining forces of the two tribes. How long can they resist?"

    Zhang Xiao asked quickly after listening to the adjutant¡¯s report.

    The adjutant looked down at the document in his hand, then flipped through it.

    ¡°We don¡¯t have comprehensive information about the Bukuts here, but according to some information, the Bukuts are the strongest among the three major tribes, so even if they face TataWith the alliance between the Erns and the Kopuyali, they will not be defeated in the short term. At most, the situation will be somewhat disadvantageous.  "

    What the adjutant said is absolutely correct. They have not been here in Cuman for a long time, so they cannot have too detailed intelligence information.

    The information we have now is already very good.

    In this regard, Zhang Xiao is not too demanding, because he also knows this.

    ¡°Don¡¯t relax in collecting intelligence. Only by mastering the most detailed intelligence information can we make the right choice, allowing us to achieve final victory and regional hegemony.¡±

    Zhang Xiao said slowly after the adjutant's words fell.

    "Yes, sir!"

    The adjutant straightened his body and responded loudly.

    After responding, the adjutant looked at the document and continued to report: "According to the intelligence we obtained, the Tartanils paralyzed the Bukut people, making them really think that the Tartanils had made peace with them.  Okay, so they have relaxed their vigilance against the Tartanians, and have also asked the Tartanians to send 30,000 troops to join their military operation against the Kopuyali people."

    "In response, the Tatanils responded, but secretly informed the Kopuyali people. And on the battlefield, the Tatanils rebelled in front of the Bukuts and attacked the Bukuts' front, causing the Bukuts to neglect their precautions.  The Kut people collapsed immediately"

    It is indeed sinister Zhang Xiao listened to the adjutant's report and began to imagine the scene on the battlefield in his mind.

    Needless to say, the Bukut people at that time must have been extremely aggrieved.

    It¡¯s a very unpleasant feeling when a companion you thought you could trust turns against you on the battlefield.

    But who made them so naive that they believed in the insidious Tartanians.

    Otherwise, it would be impossible for them to lose this battle.

    "How is the loss?" Zhang Xiao opened his eyes and asked slowly.  The adjutant immediately replied: "The Bukut sent 40,000 troops. After encountering a counterattack by the Tatanils and the pursuit of the Kopuyali army, about 8,000 people were killed on the spot, and more than 10,000 people were killed on the spot.  People became prisoners, and although the remaining more than 10,000 people escaped, they probably except for the wounded and so on"

    Zhang Xiao fell silent.

    Yes, even if the remaining soldiers escape, they may not be able to survive in the short term.

    This battle was a serious blow to the Bukote people, and it can be considered a serious loss.

    ¡°General, I¡¯m surprised, why didn¡¯t the Tartanians take the opportunity to clean up the Kopuyali people as well?¡±, the adjutant closed the folder in his hand and asked with a puzzled look on his face.

    Regarding this issue, the adjutant couldn¡¯t understand it at all.

    In his opinion, the Tartanians can completely defeat both tribes in this battle.  For this reason, you can weaken the strength of both tribes at once and make yourself stronger.

    Although they are both genetically Chinese, this adjutant¡¯s vision is not as good as Zhang Xiaolai¡¯s after all.

    This is why Zhang Xiao can become a general who leads the army, but he can only become an adjutant.

    This has nothing to do with knowledge, but personal cognition and vision.

    Not all genetic people will become qualified generals.

    "The Tatanians will not do this, because it will not benefit them. Even if they can defeat the Bukut and Kopuyali people in such a battle, it is impossible to defeat their own strength all at once.  If it is enhanced enough to suppress two tribes, it will also arouse the hatred of the two tribes, which may cause both sides to unite against themselves."

    Since the adjutant had doubts about this, Zhang Xiao explained it by the way.

    Besides, he is in a good mood now.

    "Besides, the Bukut are the most powerful tribe among the three tribes. If I were a Tatanil, I would never fall out with the Kopuyali at this time, but would cooperate with them sincerely.  , let¡¯s completely destroy the Bukut people.¡±

    Zhang Xiao has been carefully judging some of the plans of the Tartanians.

    Therefore, he can definitely control the situation.

    In fact, the Tatanir people¡¯s plan is not difficult to see through.

    Especially for people like Zhang Xiao.

    The adjutant thought for a moment and understood.

    "Sir, the Bukut people are now at a disadvantage facing the attacks of the two tribes. And because of the heavy losses in that battle, they are now completely in a defensive posture. So, we areIsn¡¯t it time to take action?  "

    The door to war in Cuman has been opened. Now that the Imperial Army has entered Cuman, they will inevitably be involved. This is an unavoidable fate.

    Zhang Xiao nodded: "Yes! This opportunity now is also beneficial to us. If we don't take advantage of it, then I will not forgive myself."

    Zhang Xiao¡¯s thoughts flashed through his mind quickly, and he soon made a decision.

    "The Bukut people cannot resist the attack of two tribes at the same time, so their destruction will be a matter of time. And my estimate is good, then during the period when the Bukut people are eliminated, the tribes under their command will definitely  It is the target of competition between the Tatanilians and the Kopuyali people, and the Bukut people cannot stop it at all."

    A faint sinister smile appeared on Zhang Xiao¡¯s face.

    "Facing the big cake of Bukut people, let's join in and share it."

    We want to join in, not to help the Bukut people deal with the other two tribes, but to take the opportunity to divide them together The adjutant understood the intention of his elders.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature. The novels will be better and updated faster!
