    "Why do the Kopuyali people do this, and what is the benefit to them? I think their approach is completely unnecessary. If I command the Kopuyali army, I will let the elite launch an attack on the Bukut people from the beginning.  With an all-out attack, I think it won¡¯t take such a long time to decide the outcome of this battle.¡±

    Farie¡¯s words almost made Zhang Xiao burst out laughing.

    ??????????????? It is useless to be ignorant, only Farie can say such a thing, and looking at her expression, she still thinks that things should be like this.

    This left Zhang Xiao speechless.

    "You can't say that. The reason why you have such an idea is because you are commanding a small battle with no more than 500 troops on both sides, and looking at this battle with more than 200,000 troops. So I  I must seriously tell you that your idea is really wrong, and it is very wrong."

    Farie was a little unconvinced, she pouted and looked at Zhang Xiao.  In her cognition, the number of troops is not the same as fighting, so what is the difference?

    Zhang Xiao was very patient and explained to her.

    "Don't be unconvinced yet. Listen to me and tell you, and you will understand why I said your mistake was outrageous."

    "Then tell me."

    Zhang Xiao put down the telescope in his hand and looked at the battlefield: "In a small battle, it is possible to win with courage. However, such an approach is simply impossible in a large corps battle. Do you think  Just think about it, hundreds of thousands of people are fighting. Even if you are the most famous warrior, you will still have to face overwhelming enemies. Even if you have strong fighting skills, you will not be able to show them  ¡­¡±

    Farie slowly fell silent and fell into deep thought.

    Zhang Xiao is right.  In a war involving hundreds of thousands of people, individual bravery is useless.

    Personal abilities are very small in this environment, and may even be impossible to be used at all.

    In this kind of combat effectiveness, what is needed is team cooperation and the command of skilled grassroots commanders.

    Even if the orders issued by high-level commanders are the most correct, they still need to be executed well by lower-level commanders.

    Once the commanders at the grassroots level are unqualified, although they can understand the intentions of the higher-ups, they will act recklessly or have deviations in execution.  Then it will affect the outcome of the entire battle.

    And some wisdom from the top is also particularly important.

    Zhang Xiao admired the method used by the Kopuyali people in this battle.

    They use cannon fodder-like vassal tribe troops to consume the opponent's elite, which is a very smart approach.

    Although the Bukut people who had already been trapped seemed to have the upper hand at the moment, Zhang Xiao knew very well that after several hours of fighting, the physical energy of the elite warriors had been exhausted a lot.  Very tired now.

    On the other hand, the elite of the Kopuyali people have not been dispatched so far.

    Once the Kopuyali people dispatch their elite at this time, then the situation on the battlefield will definitely be reversed, and the Bukut people's current advantage will no longer exist.

    Following Zhang Xiao¡¯s explanation.  Farie finally gradually understood these issues that she had never cared about. These were all hidden under the surface, knowledge that she had never been exposed to.

    It can be said that Zhang Xiao opened a door for her.  A door to knowledge.

    "You are so knowledgeable."

    At this time, the unconvinced look was no longer on his face, and it was completely replaced by an expression of admiration.  Even the blue eyes of the girl were full of adoration, and Zhang Xiao who was looking at him felt very embarrassed.

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? He actually blushes, he is really a cute man.

    Zhang Xiao lowered his head and raised his hand to scratch his nose to relieve his shy reaction.

    His reaction was seen by Farie, and she suddenly felt very cute and funny.

    In Farie¡¯s seventeen years of life, she has never seen a man behave like this.  This man was completely different from the men she had ever seen, so this was why Zhang Xiao was attracted to her inexplicably.

    "Thisis nothing. In the empire, officers like me will enter military schools to learn military knowledge, so as long as they are qualified officers, they will understand these things."

    Zhang Xiao replied shyly and modestly.

    "I really don't know what the empire is like, but I can even teach such knowledge. I think the empire must be very powerful. The Ottoman Empire I know is like thisThe knowledge of ?? will not be taught casually.  "

    In this era, military knowledge is really not taught casually, so what Farie said is not wrong.

    The practice of running schools to teach military knowledge did not appear until modern times.

    At this time in the early seventeenth century, military knowledge in the West was something that only nobles could learn, and even if they were taught, they were taught to their families.

    It is simply impossible for outsiders to learn.

    The same is true in the East, especially military knowledge, which is passed down from family to family.

    If someone passes down an ancestral military book or something, it will be very precious.

    "If you have the chance, you can also study in the Americas. I will even be your recommender at the right time. Anyway, you are still young and it is not too late to learn military knowledge and culture."

    Farie¡¯s sigh made Zhang Xiao feel that people in this era are really miserable in some aspects.

    ??For example, all kinds of knowledge are controlled by the nobles and the church, and ordinary people are not allowed to learn at all.  By monopolizing knowledge, the West maintains its dominance.

    In this environment, it is not wrong at all to say that the lower class people in Europe are basically illiterate.

    The situation in the East is similar to that in the West.

    Only the children of big families have the opportunity to learn cultural knowledge, but the people at the bottom simply dare not even think about it.

    The same is true here in the Arab world, especially for tribal people, knowledge is even more lacking.

    Although Farie is the only daughter of a tribal leader, when it comes to cultural knowledge, she is not even as good as a primary school student in modern society.

    Therefore, it is not unreasonable to say that people in this era are very miserable.

    Of course, the reasons for this situation are complicated.  But the main thing is the perceived monopoly of knowledge.  Most people do not have access to cultural knowledge, which leads to this result.

    And this situation will last at least more than a hundred years before it can be changed.

    However, this era was due to the emergence of Zhao Hongyu and the establishment of the American Song Empire.  Some changes have begun to occur, that is, schools have appeared in the American Song Empire, including military academies that specialize in teaching military knowledge, technical schools that cultivate basic industrial knowledge, and elementary and middle schools that teach primary school knowledge and culture

    Maybe.  The situation in which knowledge is monopolized by the upper class will not change until the early 1900s, as was the case in history.

    And Zhang Xiao said that he recommended Farie to learn military knowledge. This is not just a casual talk, but it is completely possible.

    But, there is a prerequisite for this.

    That is because the Bajir tribe has really integrated into the empire and has been evaluated as excellent by the Imperial Intelligence Department, so that it can receive such an honor.

    After all, some of the knowledge taught by the empire was ahead of its time.

    People who can learn knowledge in the empire.  In addition to the Europeans who were treated as 'cattle', there were Indian children who had been fully integrated into the empire, or European children who had a strong sense of belonging to the empire.

    Like those European adults who are treated as "cattle", they can learn the knowledge.  It is just some industrial professional skills.

    When they graduate, they will have to do very hard work.

    It is impossible for the empire to teach them deeper professional knowledge.

    It can be said that for the monopoly of knowledge.  The Empire is doing it too.

    "It's just that it's not as inhumane as the upper echelons of various countries in this era.

    "Can I really do that?"

    After hearing what Zhang Xiao said, Farie looked at him in disbelief.

    Zhang Xiao nodded: "Of course. There is no problem."

    When Zhang Xiao was talking to Farie, another hour had passed.

    At this moment, the situation on the battlefield has begun to change.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Since the Bukut team broke through the opponent's center five times without success, now the Bukut side is somewhat weak.  And their right wing was attacked by waves from the Kopuyali people, and there were already signs of instability.

    Therefore, the Bukut people had to let the offensive slow down and began to rest and prepare their troops to look for new opportunities.

    But the problem is, this is war, not just a house game.  It's not up to you to do whatever you want. The initiative cannot be under the control of any party.

    So, BukuTheir idea is good, but they need to ask their opponents, the Kopuyali people, if they agree.

    And, the obvious problem is that there is no need to ask the Kopuyali people about this matter, because they will definitely not agree.

    If the Kopuyali people would do this, then they must be crazy.

    In order to stabilize the somewhat loose right wing, the Bukuts mobilized their reserve troops to reinforce the right wing.

    This leaves them with no power to deal with the crisis.

    ? And this is exactly what the Kopuyali people have been waiting for.

    Nearly five hours have passed since the war has progressed.  The fighting broke out in the early morning and continued until noon.

    Although it is winter in Cuman at this time, the temperature is not as hot as summer.  However, sunlight irradiating the human body can still cause great damage to the skin.

    "Furthermore, after several hours of fighting, the elites of the Bukut people had exhausted their physical strength and were very tired.

    ¡°It¡¯s almost time for the Kopuyali people to take action.¡±

    After finishing the conversation with Farie, Zhang Xiao picked up the telescope and continued to observe the situation on the battlefield. When he saw the main force of the Bukut people withdrawing to rest, he already understood.

    Sure enough, the main force of the Kopuyali people, who had been recharging their strength, began to move slowly from the center to the opposite side.  Needless to say, this is the prelude to their charge.

    The main force of the Kopuyali people is about 40,000 in number.

    ¡°It¡¯s impossible for the Bukut people to miss such a large troop movement.

    Therefore, when the Bukut people saw it, they immediately caused a small chaos.

    "The Bukut people look bad. Let everyone prepare. We will take action soon."

    Zhang Xiao turned around and gave instructions to his adjutant (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
