Building a city in an environment like the desert is indeed not an easy task. The city owned by the Kopuyali people is actually not very good, strictly speaking.
To put it bluntly, it is just a city that can only accommodate thousands of people, and its area is not very large. Put it over there in the east, it can't even compare to a small county town.
But, having a city here in the Cuman Desert would be a big deal.
Especially in this city, there is a lush green coconut forest and fresh water puddles, which makes the value of this city rise sharply.
You must know that in a desert environment, the value of water is much higher than gold.
And this place was also forcibly snatched from a certain tribe by the ancestors of the Kopuyali people. Then on this basis, they slowly built the city.
Most of the people living in the city are high-level people of the Kopuyali people, and ordinary tribesmen are not qualified to live there.
In other words, the people in this city are all Kopuyali people who are either rich or noble.
If he can seize the entire city, then Zhang Xiao can kill all the top leaders of Kopuyali, so that the remaining ordinary tribesmen can be easily dealt with.
Even if there are a large number of ordinary tribesmen living abroad, without a 'head' and a command, these people are just a piece of scattered sand, and it is very easy to solve them.
This was also a common problem in the 16th century. Ordinary people were accustomed to following orders. Once the senior people with command authority were killed, the remaining people at the bottom would be unable to take further action.
This is the same whether in the East or the West, or in the Arab region.
Maybe it¡¯s because the minds of people in this era are not as enlightened as modern people, so they appear to be very ¡®simple¡¯. It's so simple that if they don't have instructions, they won't be able to take the next step.
This is for Zhang Xiao. Although it is a funny thing, it is also a great good thing.
The benefits contained in it are too great.
Therefore, after entering the hinterland, Zhang Xiao decided to take down the Kopuyali city in one fell swoop and kill all the senior officials in it.
As long as you control those high-level officials, the entire Science and Technology Department will be completely under your control.
Although it is said that these high-level people will have some small thoughts and tricks, Zhang Xiao does not take it seriously.
As long as these people can fall into his hands, he will have the ability and method to control them so that they cannot do anything that threatens him.
It¡¯s that time. Even if the Bukut army arrived, they would be helpless in the face of such a situation.
Since the facts have been established, what can they do?
Is it possible to start a war with the Imperial Army?
hey-hey!
If it had been in the past, Zhang Xiao might not have been too afraid.
But Zhang Xiao no longer cares about the Bukut army, which suffered a huge loss in battle with the Kopuyali people not long ago.
¡°If it weren¡¯t for the purpose of retaining the Bukut people and letting them fight against the Tatanir people, Zhang Xiao would have dealt with the Bukut people and the Kopuyali people at that time.
You know, after that battle. The Bukut people's original army of more than 100,000 people now only has more than 10,000 people left, and the same number exists for the Kopuyali people.
Even if they are added together, they are only more than 30,000 soldiers and horses.
Facing this number of troops, Zhang Xiao still has the confidence to defeat them.
after all. The Imperial Army is dedicated to defeating the small with more, isn't it?
Of course, considering that although the Tartanians suffered a lot of losses in the early stage, they were not injured yet. And judging from the current situation, the military strength of the Tartanians was originally the weakest. Now he has suddenly become the strongest.
Therefore, it is better to keep the Bukuts and let them deal with the Tartanirs in the future.
To know. Once the Tatanians understand the current situation and the current situation of the Bukut people, they will definitely be ready to take action.
The greedy Tartanians will not let go of any opportunity.
After all, the Tartanians also participated in Cuman¡¯s overlord war.
So, in fact, there is no need for Zhang Xiao to deal with the Bukut people, and their future will not be easy for a while. Because they have to fully guard against the attack of the Tartanians, they must be on tenterhooks.
Therefore, Zhang Xiao can make a firm judgment and decide what he has done.?Including occupying the city of the Kopuyali people in the future and incorporating the Kopuyali tribe and its vassal tribes, the Bukut people who came here to take over everything did not dare to do anything.
Because they will not go to war with themselves in this situation and waste the few military forces they have left on themselves.
After all, they still have a biggest enemy to deal with, right?
What's more, when the Imperial Army attacks the Kopuyali army, it also shows strong combat effectiveness, attack power, and defense power.
"The Bukut people also saw this in their eyes and knew it very clearly.
Zhang Xiao doesn¡¯t believe it. Aren¡¯t they afraid of this?
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
Until there is no way to deal with the musket threat and grenade threat from the Imperial Army, the Bukut people will not be at odds with themselves.
Actually, I don¡¯t dare!
Especially in this situation where their power was greatly damaged, the Bukut people did not dare to go to war with themselves.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡ And although the remnants of the Kopuyali army had surrendered, the Bukut people did not dare to trust them too much.
Therefore, Zhang Xiao can confidently judge that after occupying most of the territory of the Kopuyali people, it will not be a fait accompli.
Because the Bukut people need time to lick their wounds and restore their military strength. And he also had to deal with the threat of the Tartanians, and slowly digest some of the Kopuyali territory that he had deliberately left behind.
Therefore, they have no energy to deal with themselves.
Yes, Zhang Xiao will not occupy all the territory of the Kopuyali people, he will leave one third for the Bukut people to occupy.
Although this may seem like a disadvantage, it is actually not the case.
First of all, there are not many troops under Zhang Xiao's command. The only trustworthy teams are the 4,000 Imperial Army soldiers and the more than 600 Bedouin warriors of Farie.
"Besides that, more than a thousand slave warriors are not credible. The rest of the teams that had been coerced in, which had expanded to more than 30,000 people, were even more untrustworthy.
Therefore, his plan to occupy two-thirds of the territory of the Kopuyali people is already the limit.
What¡¯s more, it would be unrealistic if no benefits are given to the Bukut people.
And feeding a few mouthfuls to the Bukut people can also allow them to focus their energy elsewhere. At the same time, doing so will bring a period of stable development to your side.
With just a little time, Zhang Xiao is confident that he can completely control the territory and people's hearts. Then he won't have to fear anything.
The most important point is that after having such a piece of land, he can immediately contact the Cairo Concession and ask them to transport the supplies here.
With supplies and equipment, hey!
Sooner or later, the Bukuts and Tartanians will eat shit.
"Otherwise, how can Cairo provide material assistance to itself if it doesn't even have a single territory?"
After all, I have never been granted permission. It is impossible to purchase supplies to fight anytime and anywhere.
Therefore, he must have a territory, a fixed base as a foundation. Then contact Cairo and ask Mabond to provide supplies and equipment. In this way, he can have more advantages to gain Cuman's hegemony.
Otherwise, with only four thousand Imperial Army troops, he could remain undefeated in the early stage. But as long as the ammunition is exhausted, then the future of him and the four thousand Imperial Army under his command will be ruined. But it's very dangerous.
Once there is no advantage in weapons and it falls into that situation, the Imperial Army will become very weak.
There is nothing we can do about this.
Thermal weapons. The demand for ammunition supplies is very high.
But once the supply of materials and equipment can be guaranteed, the Imperial Army will basically be invincible in this era.
Therefore, now Zhang Xiao is bound to win the city of the Kopuyali people.
Not to mention, there are precious fresh water resources in this city.
Only a fool would not care about such a site.
¡°Speed ??up the march and try to reach the destination in an hour!¡± Zhang Xiao ordered the team to increase their marching speed.
Because the Kopuyali people were at war with the Bukut people, their territory was very empty. Basically, the Kopuyali people took out all the troops they could bring out.
?This gave Zhang Xiao a good opportunity.
Therefore, along the way, Zhang Xiao basically did not encounter any obstacles from an established or large-scale team, and he arrived at the city built by the Kopuyali people very smoothly.
Monad Arche! It is the name of this Kopuyali city. If you change it to another meaning, it means something shining brightly in the desert, whether it is a pearl or a water source. In short, it is universal.
Anyway, it¡¯s very precious, that¡¯s all.
This city, in the hearts of the Kopuyali people, is no less than a gift from God.
However, when Zhang Xiao arrived in front of this city, he just thought it was funny.
In front of him, the city of Monad Arche stood desolate, with a two-meter-high loess wall. No matter how you looked at it, it was incomparable to the cities in the East.
A few soldiers were running sparsely on top of the city, while the wooden gate of the city was tightly closed.
It can be seen that the arrival of Zhang Xiao and the others has made the people in this city very nervous and alert.
Furthermore, since the Kopuyali people took away all the troops, it can be said that this city does not have enough troops to resist Zhang Xiao and the others.
"Let's attack, I don't want to waste any more time."
Without thinking much, Zhang Xiao immediately issued the order to attack.
¡°Subsequently, the order was issued to the 30,000 troops who were brought in, and then these ¡®cannon fodder¡¯ began to attack (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
