The Bukut people wanted to directly defeat the Kopuyali people with this battle, then quickly rest their team, and then return to defeat the Tatanil people.
Therefore, in this battle, they can be said to have used all their strength.
Similar to the Bukut people, the Kopuyali people also planned this.
Because the Tartanians were severely damaged by the Bukuts, they have lost the ability to continue fighting in a short period of time. Therefore, if they can seize the opportunity this time, they can directly lay the foundation for hegemony with this battle.
Under this strategic thinking, both sides used the best strength they could use.
Zhang Xiao has a detailed grasp of these situations.
At this time, the battle on the battlefield was in full swing.
Soldiers from both the Bukut and Kopuyali sides continued to die or were severely wounded. But among the fighting power of hundreds of thousands of people, these people are destined to be just small waves that cannot make ripples, and no one will care about their safety.
Every second someone dies, or someone falls to the ground wailing in pain.
The battle broke out in the early morning when the sun just hit the earth, and several hours have passed since then.
Zhang Xiao and the others had already arrived here at the beginning of the battle and stayed on the periphery of the battlefield.
He is waiting for an opportunity, waiting for an opportunity to gain the greatest benefit.
Therefore, he would not foolishly choose a target to help from the beginning.
??Besides, it would not do him any good to join in from the beginning. Both sides have a lot of troops. If he chooses to support one side from the beginning, he will definitely face a huge number of enemy attacks.
This is very undesirable.
Although the Imperial Army is very strong, he does not want his soldiers to fight such dangerous battles.
After all, Zhang Xiao was not sure whether the Imperial Army under his command could cope with such a large number of enemy attacks. So it's better not to take the risk.
??Besides, when the balance of victory and defeat appears, they will be able to gain the greatest benefits if they join as a new force, right?
So, for now, he should just watch from the sidelines.
The Bukuts chose to break through from the center, intending to defeat the Kopuyali's central force and then defeat the opponent.
Although the idea is very good, the Kopuyali people don¡¯t give it in vain.
Facing the Bukut cavalry, the Kopuyali people launched a fierce attack on their own central troops, which only pushed up all the infantry of their vassal tribes. Let them use their lives and flesh to resist the attack of the Bukut cavalry.
Although infantry has a huge disadvantage against cavalry, at least this method is still very effective until now.
A few hours later, the Bukut people had launched four or five charges in a row, but they failed to achieve their goals.
The infantry dispatched by the Kopuyali people blocked their charge without fear of death, and consumed a lot of the physical strength and fighting will of the Bukut cavalry.
Of course, the price paid by the Kopuyali people was not small, after all, they pushed out infantry.
Therefore, it is located in the middle of the two armies where the two sides are fighting. By this time it was already covered with corpses. A small number of these corpses were left by the Bukut people, and most of them were infantrymen on the Kopuyali side.
Although the losses were huge, the Kopuyali people didn¡¯t seem to care at all.
It was as if the soldiers killed on the battlefield were not from their side.
???????????????? But. The Kopuyali people are not wrong to think so, because those infantrymen are warriors from the vassal tribes. In the eyes of the Kopuyali people, those people are just cannon fodder.
Cannon fodder, as the name suggests. It's an existence with poor combat effectiveness.
No one will care, no one will care, and no one will regret their life and death.
The reason why these cannon fodders are dispatched. The purpose is to consume the physical strength of the Bukut cavalry and their fighting spirit.
You must know that in battles in the cold weapon era, the physical strength of soldiers is also an important key to victory or defeat. Coupled with their fighting spirit, it is also a key factor in the outcome of a battle.
Although they don¡¯t know the Eastern proverbs, it is obvious that the Kopuyali people know that using such a cannon fodder tactic can greatly consume the opponent¡¯s physical strength and their will to fight.
After all, no matter who launches the charge four or five times, but without any effect, his fighting spirit and physical strength will be greatly reduced.??.
At this time, the main force of the Kopuyali people has not been used yet.
Until now, the troops they used to deal with the Bukut were basically vassal tribes.
At the same time, when the Kopuyali people were dealing with the breakthrough tactics from the Bukut people's center, they also let the cavalry troops of their vassal tribes launch a counterattack from the left against the Bukut people's right wing.
The Kopuyali people don¡¯t like to defend passively like this.
The two sides have been going back and forth for several hours. Although there has not yet been a decisive battle, it is just a small tentative attack on each other. But many soldiers have died on the battlefield.
It can be seen that low-ranking people are also cannon fodder in war.
Even in modern society, they are just cold numbers, and those in power will not care about them.
"Oh, the Kopuyali people have good calculations, and I have guessed some of their purposes. I guess they are planning to use the mistakes of the vassal tribes to consume the main force of the Kopuyali people, and at the same time wear down their physical strength and fighting spirit. No. Needless to say, the Kopuyali people¡¯s idea is wonderful.¡±
Through the monocular telescope, Zhang Xiao has been observing the entire situation on the battlefield. Therefore, after observing for a long time, he finally came to a conclusion.
Farie was riding a camel and stayed beside Zhang Xiao. At the same time, she was holding a monocular telescope in her hand to watch the battle on the battlefield.
However, unlike Zhang Xiao, Farie only felt the grand battle scenes and the exciting fights.
She was not as aware as Zhang Xiao in seeing what the Kopuyali people were planning.
"Why didn't I see this? I think the Kopuyali people are completely at a disadvantage now, and they seem to be suppressed and beaten by the Bukut people."
"After all, the little girl has not received systematic military knowledge, and she has only commanded a battle of two to three hundred people. Of course, she will not understand so clearly a battle involving more than two hundred thousand people.
Hearing this, Zhang Xiao smiled. Then he turned to look at Farie, who looked curious, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly, saying, "You can't do it without culture."
However, the current battle between the Bukut and the Kopuyali people will still have a long time before there is an opportunity, so Zhang Xiao has plenty of time to explain to Farie.
In addition, Zhang Xiao was in a very good mood now, so after thinking about it, he explained to Farie: "I don't know if you have noticed, but all the troops sent by the Kopuyali people are troops from the vassal tribes under their command. Meet the main force of the Bukut."
Hearing what Zhang Xiao said, Farie blinked her big blue eyes. She recalled what she had just seen through the telescope.
It seems that, as the young general of the empire said, the Kopuyali people have not used their main force so far, and all they have dispatched are the troops from the vassal tribes.
But why do the Kopuyali people do this?
Furthermore, those vassal troops have lost many soldiers so far in order to attack the main force of the Bukut.
Even some teams have been disabled by the opponent.
On the battlefield at this time, most of the people who died were under the command of the Kopuyali people. Those soldiers from the vassal tribes.
Suddenly, a thought flashed through Farie's mind.
She wasn¡¯t very sure what this thought meant.
but. But she felt that it should be consistent with what Zhang Xiao said.
Is it possible that what the Kopuyali people are doing now is not only wrong but correct?
This idea appeared in Farie¡¯s mind. It left her puzzled.
Because with her knowledge and understanding, it is impossible to know what this means.
????????????????????????????? Well, the Kopuyali people do this. What impact does it have on combat?
Fortunately, Farie will not wonder about this for too long, because Zhang Xiao can give her an answer that she can understand.
"No! In fact, it is not like this at all. On the contrary, the current situation of the Bukut people is completely opposite to what you think. If they continue to fight like this, the offense will fall into decline in a short time, and then The main force of the Kopuyali people will begin to counterattack."
Zhang Xiao is not like Farie, who has a profound judgment on the situation on the battlefield.
After all, he is one of the earliest genetic people of the Imperial Army. He has also experienced several battles during the establishment of the Empire, and he is also someone who has seen big scenes.
? plus superWithout the knowledge of this era, it is impossible for Zhang Xiao to be as "ignorant" as Farie.
"Why is this happening? Why can't I see it?"
Farie looked at Zhang Xiao curiously, thinking about the implications of what he said. But no matter how much Farie thought about it, she just couldn't understand what Zhang Xiao said.
Of course, this is not to say that Fariye is not smart, or that she is really a fool.
After all, the era she lived in, the environment she grew up in, and the knowledge she received, it is not surprising that she would not understand what Zhang Xiao said.
¡°If a modern person were to be sent thousands of years into the future, then this modern person would also not understand the environment and knowledge of that society at that time.
You must know that human development has been very rapid after entering modernization.
Especially when knowledge is expanding very rapidly, it is easy for people to lose track of the pace.
Therefore, let alone Farie, who was born in the early seventeenth century and has not received modern baptism at all.
Next, looking at the confused Farie, Zhang Xiao began to explain it to her carefully.
The reason why Zhang Xiao did this was that besides being in a good mood now, Zhang Xiao also felt that he should teach Farie a little bit so that she could master some military knowledge and insights, so that she could be of greater help to him in the future. .
Otherwise, Zhang Xiao wouldn¡¯t have put so much effort into it.
Of course, Zhang Xiao also had some small thoughts about Farie in his heart. In order to prevent her and his own thoughts from falling behind, he consciously began to instill some modern thinking concepts into the little girl. .
??Fariye doesn¡¯t know much about this.
But no matter what, this is always a good thing for Farie, isn¡¯t it (To be continued)
