Chapter 1385: Arabian Storm (Fifty-Six)
Farier's surprise was not without reason, it was true that the soldiers in the Imperial Army were all very young.
After all, Zhao Hongyu has only been on the American continent for four years since he established the Song Empire.
Moreover, the Chinese genetic people he cultivated are all young people.
So, on the side of the Song Empire in the Americas, you basically don't see Chinese people over the age of thirty. What can be seen is basically a very young Chinese youth.
Except for Professor Liu, who is an exception.
Of course, this situation is not without reason.
Cultivating a young person with a Chinese gene requires a lot of money, not to mention, but also a lot of time. According to the strange law of virtual traders, under normal circumstances, it takes exactly the same amount of time to cultivate a genetic person as a real human being.
However, considering that the breeder needs the help of the gene person, it can spend money to speed up the cultivation time, which shortens the growth of the gene person.
Therefore, according to such a situation, it is most cost-effective to cultivate young genetic people.
It is precisely because of this reason that the Chinese citizens of the Song Empire in the Americas are very young and do not have a kài over the age of thirty.
Of course, over time, and the empire grows. In the future, there will inevitably be older genetic people in the empire, because Zhao Hongyu will definitely cultivate some elite talents in order to develop the empire.
And these elite talents can't be so young, because they need to learn a lot of professional knowledge and have some practical experience.
Only in this way, after cultivating them, can they bring better development to the empire.
A true elite cannot be so young.
At the very least, you have to be fifty years old or older to be able to be called an elite.
There are a number of complex factors involved.
Only, now the development of the empire. These people are not needed yet.
Therefore, people with these young Chinese genes can develop temporarily.
However, for these problems, except for the high-ranking members of the empire and the Chinese descendants, outsiders do not know at all and cannot know.
So, it's no wonder that Fariyah would be so surprised.
You must know that in this era, an army formed by young people like the Song Empire is very rare. It can even be said that there is none.
During this era, the armies of the Eastern and Western countries were filled with a large number of soldiers over the age of forty to sixty. There are even boy scouts under the age of twelve.
Although there will be young soldiers, it is definitely not like the army of the Song Empire, all of them are young people.
Of course, Farier was only surprised, not shocked.
In her opinion, although an army of young people is certainly eye-catching. However, it is obvious that the army formed by these young people cannot have much combat effectiveness.
To know. The army of this era, although there are a large number of elderly soldiers. But these soldiers are not useless, and even these veterans have very valuable experiences that are worth learning.
After all. Veterans who can live to be fifty or sixty years old in the army can definitely be said to be treasured.
If they didn't have some skills, they wouldn't have survived, would they?
So, something on the veterans of the army. It is time for the young soldiers to study well.
On the other hand, this army of the Song Empire was full of young soldiers.
So, how many dangers and killings have these soldiers experienced. How many times have you fought?
It's just some stunned rookies.
Maybe they'll be on the battlefield and we'll pee their pants in the face of the enemy's charge.
Therefore, after being amazed for a while, Fariyah did not pay much attention to the army of the Song Empire.
However, for the luxury of the Song Empire's army, Fariyah couldn't help but secretly admire it in his heart.
Yes, the army commanded by Zhang Xiao is completely equipped according to the establishment of the Song Empire.
Military uniforms, weapons, and some military gadgets.
When thousands of people are dressed up and dressed together, the scene can really bring some small surprises.
"It's just that I can't imagine that the people of the Song Empire are so rich? Look at the pair worn by the soldiers, the material is certainly not cheap, and it is embroidered with gold thread. ”
After glancing at the warriors dressed in traditional Arabic attire around him, Fariyah pursed her lips with some jealousy and disdain, and whispered to the guards beside her.
"I guess it's just some useless goods, right? I have some regrets now, and I know if it was a wise decision for us to join the Song Empire. With just these people, can we fight against the three major tribes? ”
Obviously, Fariyah was skeptical of the Song Empire's combat effectiveness.
Moreover, in her opinion, the Song Empire army that followed Aziz to this place was a good-looking showy team, with no combat effectiveness at all.
The guards who followed her and guarded her did not respond to Farier's complaints.
It was the decision of the chiefs and elders to defect to the Song Empire, and small characters like them had no right to say anything.
Fariyah was the only daughter of Chief Omar, and it didn't matter if she complained about it, but these things were not for the guards to say.
There was no response from the guards, and Fariyah didn't care.
However, she secretly decided in her heart that when she returned, she would find her father and talk to him properly, and tell him some of her senses.
Perhaps, relying on the Song Empire is not a thing, maybe you have to rely on yourself to deal with the three major tribes.
Of course, even if you rely on yourself, you can't fight against the three major tribes.
Even if the Bedouins were united now, it would be impossible to fight against any of the three major tribes.
However, because he doubted the combat effectiveness of the Song Empire, and felt shaken by his defection to the Song Empire. Therefore, Farier felt that she should talk to her father and prepare for the future.
The defeat against the union of the Bedouins of the three major tribes was doomed, and they could not change that.
However, if you can have a good plan, then even when failure comes, they can get away with it, right?
Even if you can't get out of it. But it can also allow most of the tribesmen to survive, rather than be wiped out.
If the army of the Song Empire can be relied on, then of course there is no need to think about this aspect.
However, after Fariah observed the army of the Song Empire today, she felt that this aspect of the matter needed to be considered early.
Moreover, her reason was that after the Song Empire received the news sent by the Aziz and them, why did it send a large number of troops to ensure the interests of the Cuman region.
However, she could never have imagined that the Song Empire's army that followed Aziz into Cuman was only three or four thousand people.
Such a little army. They are not as many warriors as the Bedouin tribes gathered.
And any one of the three major tribes will have less than 100,000 troops to come up with.
4,000 against 100,000 people, what a concept.
Even with the addition of more than 15,000 Bedouin fighters, the gap cannot be made up in numbers.
In this era, most of the time the victory or defeat of the war depends on the number of armies on both sides. Although this is not absolutely the case, it is certain that the side with a large number of soldiers has a great advantage.
The above Faliye's thoughts are all based on the fact that she has not seen the actual combat scenes of the Song Empire's army. That's why I think so.
If she had seen it a few times, she wouldn't have thought like that.
Aziz, for example, after a sneak attack by the Kurds, after a brief battle. There is already a new understanding of the combat effectiveness of the Song Empire's army.
He was not the only one who had such a change, the Arab envoys who went to Cairo with him, and then returned with Zhang Xiao and their actions. All have such thoughts.
At some point, in fact, Aziz and they also had the same view as Farier, and they all thought that the army of the Song Empire was like some embroidered pillows.
But. When they experienced that sneak attack and saw how the Song Empire fought, these thoughts were all forgotten by them.
At that time, the Imperial Army, of 4,000 people, did not have the slightest panic in the face of the charge of more than 2,000 Kurdish cavalry. Instead, the battle began in an orderly manner, and the enemy was completely annihilated without even touching the edge of the position.
It was an eye-opener for all of Aziz.
"Who are these people?"
Aziz, who was riding a camel side by side with Zhang Xiao, was chatting with Zhang Xiao at this time.
Having arrived at the territory of the Kosolamod, and seeing Fariyah, Aziz finally put down the big stone hanging in his heart, and it can be said that he was relieved.
The worries and tensions that had been going on for many days can finally be let go.
So, Aziz is in a good mood right now.
"They thought we were enemies, so they were sent by the Ministry of Ramaud to stop us."
Aziz responded.
"Are they all warriors of the Lamud tribe? Why don't I look like it? ”
Looking at the Arab troops that seemed to be scattered on both sides intentionally or unintentionally, sandwiching Zhang Xiao and them in the middle, and had been divided into two teams, Zhang Xiao asked with some confusion.
The warriors of the Bajir tribe wore one-piece white robes, a belt around their waists, and an Arabic robe over it.
The warriors of other tribes, although they are also dressed in this way, but the colors are very different.
According to some customs of the Labo tribe in the Cuman region, the color of the clothing of people of the same tribe should be uniform, and it is absolutely impossible to have all kinds of colors.
Therefore, based on this, Zhang Xiao is so curious.
"There are people from the thirteen tribes, after all, it is a team formed in a hurry." , Aziz still knows a little about this, so he explained it to Zhang Xiao.
After listening to Aziz's explanation, Zhang Xiao nodded and did not continue to ask about this matter. After all, he doesn't need to care too much about this matter, and it's useless to care.
"Who was the girl you were talking to earlier? I think you seem to respect her very much, this girl can't be a big deal, right? ”
At this time, Zhang Xiao remembered that in order to avoid misunderstandings and conflicts, Aziz met Fariyah when he rushed out and talked with her for a while.
So, I asked again. (To be continued......)
