Chapter 417: Bloody Rain

The indigenous people in Riyadh City, as well as the families and guards of the Saud family and the chiefs in the Masmak Citadel, were expelled and were not allowed to carry anything except the clothes they were wearing, and even the jewelry on their bodies were confiscated.

These people have no food, no water to carry, and zero chance of surviving if they wander around the desert.

There was no other way, these people moved south first, and then sent people out to find out the news and look for the Saudi army; They do not dare to move westward at the moment, and there has long been news that the troops of the Xia Empire are advancing towards Buraidah, perhaps they have not yet arrived at Buraidah, which has been occupied by the Xia Empire's troops.

The Saudi army hid in the desert for 1 day, and the scouts sent found that the Xia Empire army did not pursue their large army, but continued to establish a material secondary camp to the south, and it seems that the Xia Empire's target was their old nest Riyadh.

Ibn Saud, after consulting with the chieftains, decided not to attack the camp of the Xia Empire, and the defenders of the camp were at ease, and built fortifications, which they could not attack at all with heavy machine guns and artillery; Even the offensive transport team is facing a similar problem, they can't get close to the transport team at all, they are also equipped with heavy machine guns and artillery, with the current strength, they are not the opponent of the Xia Empire's army at all, even if they are frequently harassed, they will not cause much damage to them, they can only transfer first and preserve their strength.

The other sheikhs strongly agreed with Ibn Saud that without these armies, their chiefdom would be worthless.

Fortunately, the 10,000 cavalry divisions that attacked the camp last time were drawn evenly from each tribe, and the forces of all sides were still balanced, and Ibn Saud's headquarters also suffered the same losses, so everyone was relatively united.

Since they plan to evacuate, they should go back to Riyadh first, and move with their families, subordinates, belongings, baggage, etc., otherwise they will not be able to gain a foothold elsewhere.

When they were still a hundred miles from Riyadh, they met with the guards who had come to look for them, and learned that the city of Riyadh had been breached, and that all the personnel had been driven away from the city intact, but all their belongings had been confiscated.

Ignoring other things, the army quickly moved south to join their families and others, and as long as the people were still there, there was hope for them.

After meeting with everyone, it was found that the situation was even worse than Ibn Saud's estimate, thousands of families and retinues, and 30,000 troops, no bases, no logistics, life was a problem, and the army of the Xia Empire was about to occupy Buraidah, and they would be in danger of being surrounded.

Now that the army is disbanded, they will be even more dangerous, and it will be very difficult to feed the 30,000 troops, and Ibn Saud will have a headache.

After much contemplation, he used his strengths to mobilize all the tribal chieftains who followed him and migrated with their subordinates; The reason why the Xia Empire did not attack after occupying Riyadh was because their army had not yet arrived, and they were waiting for news from Buraidah, if they closed the siege here and gradually reduced the encirclement, everyone would face a dead end.

Everyone knows that the Xia Empire's army rarely kills people, but it is more hateful than killing, they will rob all the supplies, and drive them away from their homeland, lose their camels and other belongings, and be driven to the desert area, it is still a dead end, it is better to transfer in advance with their belongings and subordinates, maybe they can survive in a new place.

The subordinates of all the tribes were asked to move together, the subordinates and their families were reorganized into 100 squads, each with about 300 people, the property was redistributed, each squad was guarded by 10 soldiers, and the strongest of the squads were drafted into the army to form a new army.

In order to ensure the combat effectiveness of the army, the original 30,000 troops remained unchanged.

After the confiscation of the property of the tribes, this group of natives had a certain amount of provisions, but it did not last long; I can't take care of so much now, let's get out of the encirclement of the Xia Empire first.

So they took Ibn Saud's advice and moved south, then westward, passing between Buraidah and Medina, bypassing Al Khail and then safe.

The 25,000-strong army opened the way in the front, the family members and subordinates waited in the middle, and the 5,000 cavalry in the rear, the newly formed army was responsible for maintaining order in the middle, and the long line began to migrate over long distances.

Ibn Saud made the most of his brutal and cruel side.

Wherever the party passed, all the other tribes it encountered, if they did not surrender immediately, all men, women, and children would be slaughtered, and all their property would become spoils of war.

They don't just need money like the Xia Empire, but they fight each other frantically, the war between the tribes itself is a war of life and death, and the essence of war is for resources, so these armies grab other tribes without a little psychological pressure.

Ibn Saud's team was a group of more than 100 tribes, the strongest of any other tribe, and none of the tribes they encountered were their opponents, and all of them were slaughtered.

This made all the tribal chiefs see the power of the alliance, and Ibn Saud's fairness, clarity of thought, and strong leadership skills, these tribal chiefs and others did not fail to admire, which made the team even more united.

In the event of life and death, it is the responsibility of each chieftain to ensure the survival of his own tribesmen, and it is the life and death of other tribes.

Rivers of blood flowed from the slain where the team passed.

Soon, Buraidah was occupied, Riyadh was occupied, and the news of the defeat of the Saudi army by the Xia Empire spread throughout the peninsula. The news that Ibn Saud's party had killed other tribes as they migrated, spread to all the tribes of the peninsula.

When the Rashid family in Hail learned that the Saud family had fled Riyadh after being defeated by the Xia Empire, and that Buraidah had been occupied by the Xia Empire, the sheikh Ibn Rashid felt that his family could not resist the Xia Empire's army, so he ordered his tribes and armies to begin to move westward as well; They did not massacre the tribes they passed by, but forced them to become vassals of the Rashid family and migrate together.

After learning the relevant news, the Hashemite family in Mecca felt that they were not the opponents of the Xia Empire, and they could not fight against the Xia Empire independently, and even Britain and France were not opponents of the Xia Empire, not to mention them, their ideas were too arrogant before, and the tens of thousands of cavalry of Ibn Saud were annihilated by the Xia Empire in less than half an hour, and the difference in strength was too great, so they decided to take a similar approach to the Rashid family, and they were also preparing to flee the peninsula, and their place had been planned for a long time, that is, from the port of Jeddah into Africa, All the surrounding tribes were forced to migrate together as vassals, knowing that only stronger forces could gain a foothold in the new location.

The three historic families on the peninsula have moved away from their homeland one after another, and those tribes that have not been affected have become a group of sheep without a leader, and they have also begun to form alliances with each other, attack, and play a game of big fish eating small fish, the army of the Xia Empire has not yet arrived, and the entire central and western regions of the peninsula and the northern region are already bloody and bloody.

Qian Xiangyang was very satisfied with the current chaotic situation in the peninsula, since someone was hacked, he had nothing to fear, so he issued a completely different order from before: kill the natives in the peninsula without mercy. There will be another round of killings in the West Asian Peninsula.

Qian Xiangyang thought very simply, all the killings were carried out between the indigenous tribes, and the previous actions of the Xia Empire's army had proved that the Xia Empire only had land, and it only drove the natives away, not killing, and there were too many tribes that could confirm this.
