Chapter 1444: Arabian Storm (Section 115)
The attack on the city of Monad Achhe did not take much effort and time at all. It was about a quarter of an hour before the 'downcast' city fell.
Due to the lack of defenders, the 'cannon fodder' soldiers who were coerced in by Zhang Xiao did not pay much price at all and captured this city.
The army rushed into the city, causing great panic.
The city was inhabited by the high-ranking members of Koppyalib, as well as their families and cronies, as well as some servants.
Therefore, the fall of this city also marks that the entire high-level of the Kopoyali Department is now under Zhang Xiao's control.
Of course, in the process of capturing the city of Monad de Ace, it was not without resistance.
Although the higher the status, the more people cherish their lives, and they will not make risky moves, no matter what era or ethnic group, there will always be some people who do not care about life and death at a critical juncture.
Well, these people are usually 'magnificent, tall', but it's useless for them to resist. And for such people who dare to resist and bring small trouble, Zhang Xiao will basically order them to be killed.
Although he appreciates their courage and courage, as well as the character that broke out at this difficult juncture, Zhang Xiao will not leave their lives because of this.
This is not at all conflicting and contradictory.
Zhang Xiao is very aware of the situation and shape he has to face, especially his identity and what he represents.
Therefore, he will not want to influence anything, because he is simply nonsense.
For the germination of danger and trouble. Only by solving the source is the most correct choice.
Those who dare to resist, once they are left, will inevitably bring great trouble in the future.
These people will definitely not submit to the rule of the empire, and will secretly make small moves.
So, the best solution for these people is, of course, to eliminate them physically.
As for some people who are good at hiding, Zhang Xiao won't care even more.
As long as the general trend is the same, these people will not be able to make any big waves at all.
Therefore, the fall of the city of Monad Achhe represents the official launch of the Kocumman hegemony by the Kokoyali. and the stage of history.
Meantime. I also announced the power of the Song Empire in the Americas and appeared in Cumanistan.
After occupying the city of Monad Yache, Zhang Xiao quickly began to issue a series of orders.
First, he had the Bedouin warriors under Fariyah. Divided into dozens of groups. Each group was delegated to the ranks that had been coerced in. Go to the middle and high-ranking generals to command those people.
This is also a way to control zhì.
Forthwith. The team of more than 30,000 people who were coerced in was scattered and divided into more than 30 teams of 1,000 people. Centered around the city of Monad Yache, these thousand-strong troops began to raid the scattered Kopyali camps.
Zhang Xiao ordered. To bring these tribes together in the shortest possible time.
At the same time, Zhang Xiao returned to meet with the high-level elders of the Kopoyali people who had fallen into his hands, and selected some more obedient people from them and asked them to act with the thousand-person team.
With these high-level people in the presence, it will be easier to integrate the scattered Kopoyali people.
According to Zhang Xiao's plan, Zhang Xiao, a native of Kopoyali, wants to control them all, and his vassal tribes will be dispensable.
At the same time, a third should be set aside for the Bukuts, so that they can make some money. At the same time, in order to digest these interests, the Bukuts will not be able to take care of their side in a short time.
It's also about being able to give yourself some time benefits.
The 4,000 Imperial Army began to be deployed in the city of Monad de Ache, quickly occupying various key points.
With Monad Acee City as a defensive point, Zhang Xiao was confident that he could resist the attack of more than 100,000 people. Provided, of course, that there are enough ammunition supplies as a base.
In the end, Zhang Xiao began to count his existing ammunition and materials, and found that there was not much left.
This made Zhang Xiao a little worried.
After all, the strength of the Imperial Army was mainly based on material things.
If the supply of supplies and ammunition is insufficient, this will greatly affect the combat effectiveness of the troops.
Once the ammunition is exhausted, a good musket is no different from a burning stick.
So, what he has to do now is that he has to solve this problem.
At the same time, he also had to contact the Cairo Concession to tell them that he already had a territory here as a base, and at the same time, he also needed the Cairo side to start supplying him with supplies and ammunition, and a large sum of cash.
With the guarantee of force and economic support, Zhang Xiao is confident that he can firmly control the territory he occupies.
Therefore, on the day of the capture of Monad Yache, Zhang Xiao quickly dispatched a team of twenty people to leave the city of Monad Yache and began to gallop towards Cairo on a camel.
This team of twenty people is the liaison team sent out by Zhang Xiao.
At the same time, the temporary camping ground on the side of the Bajir tribe can also be abandoned.
A 100-man Imperial Army left behind can also be evacuated there.
Zhang Xiao has a lot to do now, much busier than some time ago.
After all, when he entered Cuman before, he had only encountered a few small battles, and it was nothing at all.
So, the consumption of ammunition is not very large.
But this time it was different, the Imperial Army led by Zhang Xiao, even if it launched an attack from the rear of the Kopyali people, but the Kopyali people also launched several counterattacks of more than 10,000 people.
Therefore, the consumption of the Imperial Army in this battle is not insignificant.
This has exceeded Zhang Xiao's estimate, and it has already caused Zhang Xiao to have a headache.
If the ammunition is not replenished, then Zhang Xiao and the Imperial Army led by him may fall into a dangerous situation.
After all, he can't be completely relieved of the more than 30,000 'cannon fodder' troops who are now being dragged in.
Once this force is against the water. Then for Zhang Xiao and the Imperial Army led by him, the threat is quite huge.
Although he could defend the city, how long could he defend it?
Therefore, now for Zhang Xiao, the most important thing is to replenish ammunition and materials.
As long as there is a replenishment of ammunition and supplies, then even if there is any threat, he can not worry about it at all.
The Imperial Army was quite capable of coping with such a crisis.
Not to mention, he also occupied the city of Monad Ace.
In the next few days, Zhang Xiao's conquest of the surrounding Kopoyali diaspora tribes was very smooth. Because of the assistance of some soft-boned Kopoyali high-level officials, the people of Kopoyali scattered around it. There wasn't much resistance.
And. The news of the defeat of the Kopyali army in front has also come back at this time.
When the Koparians heard that their army had been defeated and had suffered heavy losses, they became terrified.
All of a sudden, he lost his judgment and backbone. At this time, Zhang Xiao and the others took advantage of the situation. Just happened to put these people under his control.
I have to say. Zhang Xiao's luck and timing of the selection were really good.
In the past few days, Zhang Xiao also received an envoy sent by the Bukuts.
The purpose of the Bukut emissary is obvious, it is against the great interests left behind by the Kopyali.
So. Zhang Xiao began to deal with the envoys of the Bukuts.
Anyway, the benefits that have been eaten, it is impossible to let Zhang Xiao spit it out.
Zhang Xiao is not so brain-dead.
Moreover, the Bukuts also lost most of their elite because of the previous war.
He already didn't have the ability to start the next battle, so Zhang Xiao was not afraid at all even if he faced the threat of the Bukut envoys.
On the contrary, he aggressively counter-threatened to go back.
This made the Bukut envoy very helpless.
After all, your own family knows your own business.
With the current military strength of the Bukuts, there is really no way to help Zhang Xiao and the Imperial Army.
In the end, the Bukut envoy had to accept Zhang Xiao's suggestion to use a certain part of the Kopoyali territory as a boundary, and the two families divided the Kopoyali territory.
At the same time, those who live in the territory are free to choose which side they want to follow, and neither side can interfere.
For this, Zhang Xiao is naturally confident that he can make the Bukut people suffer a dumb loss.
Because he believed that with the economic strength of the Bukuts, they would not be able to appease so many people after such a great attrition.
Not to mention that the Tatanirs have sensed something wrong and are ready to threaten the borders of the Bukuts.
In such a situation, the Bukuts could not entangle with Zhang Xiao, and fought with Zhang Xiao on some issues.
At this time, the convoy that had set off from the Cairo Concession earlier and transported the first batch of supplies arrived at the oasis where the original Bajir tribe was located, that is, the place where Zhang Xiao gave up.
This transport team did not set off after Zhang Xiao sent the liaison team this time, so they didn't know that Zhang Xiao had already occupied the city of the Kopoyali people and had a solid base.
This transport team was sent by Governor Ma Bond considering that Zhang Xiao and they were fighting in Cuman, and the supplies might be a little tight.
Therefore, Zhang Xiao also did not know the storage of this transportation team.
Fortunately, before this convoy arrived at the oasis, it did not encounter any danger, and in a very short time, they inquired about Zhang Xiao's current situation, and immediately began to set off for Monad Acee City.
In three days, the convoy arrived at Monad Ace and sent Zhang Xiao the supplies and ammunition he most wanted to see, as well as a large sum of money.
With this in mind, Zhang Xiao began to make a series of plans in a big way, and began to contact the Arab forces in the east outside the Cuman region, the Harimandan merchants located near the Iraqi region, and buy large quantities of grain and meat from them to supply the people in the occupied areas.
Because Zhang Xiao knew very well that at this time, as long as the food source of the people was ensured, then he could win the hearts of the people to the greatest extent and stabilize the rule of the Dìng Empire over this region. (To be continued......)
