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

It wasn't very long, only five days.

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

Although I am not very skilled in handling a musket, I don't know anything anymore.

Moreover, Zhang Xiao did not have the luxury of expecting them to become elites in just five days.

If he thinks about it, as long as he can know how to use the musket, then that's fine, isn't it?

After all, the 4,000 Imperial Army led by Zhang Xiao, plus these more than 600 Bedouin soldiers, the strength of the entire team is less than 5,000 people.

With these horses, it is impossible to resist any of the three major tribes.

Therefore, in such a situation, hand-to-hand combat with cold weapons is a very unwise way of fighting. No matter how brave you are and how superb your fighting skills are, you will not be able to play a role on a crowded battlefield.

It is not the same if the musket is used.

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

This will allow you to reduce your losses while maintaining a certain amount of combat effectiveness.

At the same time, the enemy, who is not accustomed to fighting with thermal weapons, will inevitably lose the fighting spirit of such weapons when faced with muskets, and then collapse.

You must know that under the rows of guns fired, it was very terrible for the army in the era of cold weapons.

Especially seeing rows of comrades-in-arms falling, this shocking scene is absolutely unbearable.

The musket is a weapon that can not only inflict heavy physical damage on the enemy, but also bring an indescribable deterrent to the spirit.

Therefore, in Zhang Xiao's strategy Cuman plan, he never thought about hand-to-hand combat with the enemy. Instead, it is necessary to give full play to the advantages of their own weapons as much as possible. And so did the more than 600 Bedouin warriors who joined in.

Tong Guò followed his constant conquest with the Imperial Army, and as long as they could survive the two battles, then these people could meet the standards that Zhang Xiao was satisfied with.

Of course, Zhang Xiao didn't have much expectations for the combat effectiveness of these six hundred people.

His request was very simple, as long as half of the people survived. And these surviving Bedouin warriors, after learning about the strength of the Imperial Army, will become the seeds of ideas inclined to the Empire when they return to the Horde in the future.

If you want to confront the three major tribes head-on, you still have to count on the Imperial Army led by yourself.

wants to conquer the power of hegemony under the current environment and situation of Cuman. 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 Tataniers have begun to attack the Buku these days, and at the same time the Kopyari have launched a military attack on the Bukuts, and it seems that we have confirmed that the two tribes will unite to strangle the Bukuts."

In the past five days, Zhang Xiao has not relaxed his intelligence and information collection of the three major tribes, so he has been able to grasp the movements of the three tribes in time.

When he had not arrived at Kosolamod 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.

The Tatanirs did sneer at Bukut, and they ostensibly befriended the Bukuts, and also gave one of the chief's sisters. One of the daughters of the deceased old chief was sent to the Bukuts to marry.

This series of actions all shows that the Tatanirs are befriending each other.

Privately, however, the Tatanirs made an agreement with the Kopoyali to join forces against the paralyzed Bukuts.

I have to say. The Tatanirs have a really good game.

"How is the battle going, and do you have any detailed information on this? What is the situation of the Bukuts now, they are facing the union of two tribes. How long can it resist? ”

Zhang Xiao listened to the adjutant's report and hurriedly asked.

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

"We don't have comprehensive information about the Bukuts here, but according to some information, the strength of the Bukuts is the strongest of the three tribes, so even in the face of the alliance of the Tatanirs and the Kopyali, they will not be defeated in the short term, at most the situation is a little disadvantaged."

The adjutant was not wrong at all, they had not been here for a long time, so they could not have too much detailed intelligence information.

The information that can be mastered now is already very good.

In this regard, Zhang Xiao was not too demanding, because he also knew this.

"Don't relax our intelligence gathering, for we only have the most detailed intelligence information to be able to make the right choice, so that we can achieve the ultimate victory and regional hegemony."

Zhang Xiao said slowly after the adjutant's voice landed.

"Yes! Sir! “

The adjutant straightened up and responded loudly.

After answering, the adjutant looked at Wen Jiàn and then continued to report: "According to the information we have received, the Tatanirs have paralyzed the Bukuts and made the other party really think that the Tatanirs have made friends with them, so they have relaxed their vigilance against the Tatanirs, and they have also asked the Tatanirs to send 30,000 troops to join their military campaign against the Kopyali. “

The Tatanirs complied, but secretly informed the Koparians. And on the battlefield, the Tatanirs rebelled in front of the front to attack the Bukut line, so that the Bukuts who were unguarded collapsed immediately......"

It's really insidious...... Zhang Xiao listened to the adjutant's report, and began to imagine the scene on the battlefield at that time in his mind.

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

It was very uncomfortable for a companion who he thought he could trust to fight back on the battlefield.

But who made them so naïve that they believed in the insidious Tatanirs?

Otherwise, they wouldn't have lost this battle.

"How's the loss?" , Zhang Xiao opened his eyes and asked slowly. The adjutant immediately replied: "The Bukuts sent 40,000 troops, and in the face of the Tatanirs' counterattack and the pursuit of the Kopyali army, about 8,000 people were killed on the spot, more than 10,000 were taken prisoner, and the remaining 10,000 or so escaped, but it is estimated that the wounded or something were ......."

Zhang Xiao fell silent.

Yes, even if the remaining fighters flee back, it is estimated that they will not be able to count on it in the short term.

This battle was not a small blow to the Bukots, and it could be regarded as a loss.

"General, I wonder why the Tatanirs didn't take the opportunity to pack up with the Kopyali?" , The adjutant closed the Wen Jiàn folder in his hand and asked with a puzzled expression.

The adjutant did not understand this question at all.

In his opinion, the Tatanirs could have defeated 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 all genetic people of Chinese descent, this adjutant's vision is not as strong as Zhang Xiaolai's after all.

This is also the general that Zhang Xiao can become a leader, and 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 Tatanirs won't do that because it's not good for them. Even if you can defeat the Bukuts and Kopoyali in such a battle, it is impossible to increase your own strength enough to suppress the two tribes at once, but it will also cause the two tribes to have the same hatred, and it will make the two sides unite against you. ”

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

Besides, he's in a good mood right now.

"Moreover, the Bukuts are the most powerful of the three tribes. If I were a Tatanir, I would never have turned against the Kopoari at this time, but would have cooperated with them to bring down the Bukuts once and for all. ”

As for some of the plans of the Tatanirs, Zhang Xiao has been judging very carefully.

Therefore, he can handle eight or nine without leaving ten.

In fact, this abacus of the Tatanirs is not difficult to see through.

Especially for people like Zhang Xiao.

The adjutant thought about it for a moment and understood.

"Sir, now the Bukuts are at a disadvantage in the face of the attacks of the two tribes. And because the losses in that battle were not small, now they are completely on the defensive. So, should we do something about it? ”

The door to war in Cuman has been opened, and since the Imperial army has entered Cuman, it is inevitable that they will be involved in it, which is an unavoidable fate.

Zhang Xiao nodded: "Not bad!" This opportunity is also good for us, and if I don't take advantage of it, then I won't forgive myself. ”

Some of Zhang Xiao's thoughts flashed through his mind quickly, and he soon made a decision.

"The Bukuts can't fight against two tribes at the same time, so their demise is a matter of time. And I was right, during the period when the Bukuts were wiped out, their tribes would be the target of the Tatanirs and Kopyali, and the Bukuts would not be able to stop it. ”

A faint sinister smile appeared on Zhang Xiao's face.

"In the face of the big cake of the Bukuts, let's join in and share it."

We are going to join in, not to help the Bukuts deal with the other two tribes, but to take the opportunity to divide it together...... The adjutant understood the intentions of the head of the family. (To be continued......)
