Needless to say, the scene of the soldiers constantly 'cleaning up' the wounded Tataniels must have been very brutal.

Fortunately, the imperial soldiers are all genetic people who came to this time and space through cultivation, so let them do this thing, these genetic human soldiers of Chinese descent will not say that there is anything unsuitable.

Even if there are some genetic people in the team who have independent intelligent personalities, they will not resist such orders.

Although Aziz and the others understood the current situation and some of the reasons for what Commander Zhang Xiao did, they still couldn't watch what happened.

Of course, it's not okay to look at it with your eyes open, so it's okay not to look at it.

At this time, Aziz and the others could not be brain-dead and had to ask Zhang Xiao to stop and solve any 'troubles'.

After all, Zhang Xiao also had his reasons, which Tataniers' wounded soldiers could not be taken prisoner and taken away.

At the same time, you can't just let them go.

Besides, even if they were to be let go, how far would these wounded soldiers be able to go?

Obviously, these wounded soldiers would have died in the desert, if not by the Imperial Army.

Under the five-stage shooting tactics of the Imperial infantry, it was basically impossible for any of these Tataniel cavalry to escape easily, and they were basically either killed on the spot or were wounded and lost their combat effectiveness.

It can be said that the more than 2,000 cavalry of the Tatanelles were completely wiped out in this battle.

On the other side, several officers selected a few prisoners and began to interrogate them.

Although the captives all need to be disposed of without leaving them alive, before dealing with them, Zhang Xiao also needs to get some useful information from these people's mouths.

Aziz and the others could provide some intelligence information, but they had been away from Cuman for almost a month.

During the period of the Cairo Imperial Concession, some of the situation in Cumanistan will definitely undergo some changes, and it is impossible for them to completely grasp Aziz.

This surprise attack is a clear omen. I think this kind of thing will continue to happen for some time to come.

It can be said that, to some extent, there is still a slight disadvantage on the side of the Imperial Army.

Then, in order to avoid putting your own side into a greater disadvantage, some of the information here in Cuman needs to be grasped in time.

Although Zhang Xiao is very young, he is not stupid.

Soon, the officers in charge of interrogating the selected captives received some very useful information from the captives.

"My lord, the captives say they are a vassal tribe of the Tatanirs. Subordinate to the Kurds. This time they attacked us, in fact, the Tatanelles came against us. ”

After listening to the report of his subordinates, Zhang Xiao's expression slowly became cold.

"In other words, in fact, the Tatanirs are coming for our Song Empire?"

The officer of Chinese descent standing in front of Zhang Xiao nodded: "Yes, my lord, according to the confession of the captive, it can be considered so. ”

Zhang Xiao squinted his eyes, and his mind began to turn.

According to the reports of his subordinates, it is not difficult to guess that the Tatanirs, as one of the three major tribes, did not want the Song Empire to enter the Cuman.

Now that the other party has already reacted like this, then it can be said that it is a declaration of war on the Song Empire.

You know, the Ottomans have ceded the ownership of Cuman to the Song Empire. And the Song Empire can be said to be the legitimate ruler of the Cuman region.

But now, the Tatanirs who live here are not willing to rise and fall, and they simply do not want the Empire to send troops to take over this place.

Hum!

It seems that it is great not to let these people know that they know. They thought the empire was so easy to bully.

"Did you ask anything else?"

The officer hurriedly said: "Replying to the adult's words, the captives also revealed that the small and medium-sized tribes on the Cuman side have been integrated by the three major tribes, except for the Bedouins who have not yet been conquered. There are no other small and medium-sized tribes that can be separated from the three major tribes. ”

Oh, I just didn't expect that the three major tribes were moving quite fast.

Now all the small and medium-sized tribes have been integrated.

So. These three tribes who want to rule the Cumans by force are likely to fight for supremacy here.

It seems that he came at the wrong time, so he knew that the team would go slower, and then he would lead the army to join in after the three major tribes were almost fighting.

At that time, the three major tribes will definitely have a lot of losses because of fighting each other.

Then, it will be relatively easy and easy for me to solve the three major tribes at that time.

But now it is different, because of the arrival of the imperial army, the three major tribes will definitely put aside some prejudices for the time being and turn around to deal with the empire together.

After all, there are not no smart people in the three major tribes.

Whichever of the three tribes wants to rule the Cumans, then they will have to face the empire.

After all, the empire had legitimate Cuman rule, and this could not be changed.

Moreover, the three major tribes have not yet decided the winner, and they are not the true owners of the Cuman.

Then, only after dealing with the army that the empire came to receive, the three major tribes were able to put all their energy and strength on the struggle for hegemony.

Who let the Imperial Army be a stumbling block for them to unify the Cumans.

For any of the three major tribes, the empire is a problem that needs to be resolved.

Under this premise, it is not certain that the three major tribes will cooperate temporarily.

Zhang Xiao quickly went through these questions in his mind.

It seems that it is impossible for him to receive Cuman smoothly.

Today's sneak attack has already told me that if the empire wants to officially accept the Cumans, then it must use force.

But what does it matter?

The Empire would not be afraid of war!

If he didn't dare to say this more than three years ago, but now, Zhang Xiao is still very confident.

Not to mention the combat effectiveness of the Arabs here in Cuman, just the infantry under his control, with advanced and sophisticated weapons, also allows Zhang Xiao not to be afraid of any troubles and dangers that are about to arise.

If it was in the era of the same hot weapons, Zhang Xiao would certainly not think so.

However, the current time and space are still in the era of rampant cold weapons.

Especially in the desert where the Arabs lived in Cuman. If the other party wants to defeat himself with cold weapons, it is simply a joke.

You know, the Imperial Army's muskets are more than a hundred years ahead of the muskets of this era, although they are all relatively old muskets, but the gap is not small.

In conjunction with the Napoleonic era's 'queue to shoot' queue, and the five-stage shooting tactics.

Then, Zhang Xiao is confident that he can use force to declare the existence of the empire here in Cuman.

"Continue the interrogation, I want to know more detailed information, you can use some extraordinary means. As for the process, I don't want to bother with it. I just want the result. “

Zhang Xiao's words doomed the tragic fate of the interrogated captives.

Compared to their comrades who were dealt with with by bayonets, these people were much more unlucky.

No matter what era or time and space, as a prisoner being interrogated, his experience cannot be so good. The methods they have to face are often very cruel and bloody.

For these, Zhang Xiao didn't care at all.

As he said, he doesn't care how the process is, he just needs to get a result that satisfies him.

Moreover. The prisoners who were interrogated were originally enemies.

So why should he pity these enemies?

Don't look at the pathetic they were when they were interrogated, but they were not so long ago. But the momentum suddenly attacked him.

If it weren't for the fact that the Imperial Army was not ordinary, then it would be these people who were miserable now.

Therefore, it is impossible for Zhang Xiaocai to have any so-called women's benevolence and sympathize with which captives.

"My men just reported to me. It was the Kurds who attacked us. The subordinate who reported to Zhang Xiao took the order and continued to interrogate the prisoners. And Zhang Xiao came to Aziz's side. Revealed a little bit of the information that his subordinates reported to him.

"It's the Kurds!"

"It's them, these guys are the lackeys of the Tatanirs!"

"That's so, it's not surprising if it's a Kurd, a vassal of the Tatanils."

After listening to Zhang Xiao's explanation, Aziz and the others all showed expressions of sudden realization.

I thought it was the cavalry of the Tatanirs, but it turned out to be the Kurds, who were vassals under his command.

However, this is no different from the cavalry of the Tatanirs, after all, the lackeys and the masters are the same, aren't they.

"How did they end up here? If I'm not mistaken, a short walk ahead is an oasis for our Bajir tribe. ”

Aziz quickly came back to his senses and said to Zhang Xiao with an anxious look.

Zhang Xiao shook his head and responded, "This one of my people hasn't asked yet." “

"It's very important for the general to find out about this. Because I'm very worried in my heart, maybe the Tatanirs ...... to the Bajir tribe", Aziz paused here and didn't continue, but even if he didn't continue, Zhang Xiao would be able to guess a rough idea.

Yes, according to Aziz, a little further down is the oasis controlled by the Bajir tribe.

However, in such a close proximity to the oasis controlled by the Bajir tribe, there was a cavalry attack by the Kurds, a vassal of the Tatanirs, and it was a bit of a problem.

And that's not a small problem.

Doesn't the Bagir tribe know about this?

Just let the Kurdish cavalry come and go within their own territory?

Or is it that the Bagir tribe has been subjected to misfortune and attack?

It was the last point that Aziz was worried about.

"Let's go, I'll take you there, and you can ask the captives yourself."

Seeing that Aziz was really worried, Zhang Xiao gestured to him sideways, and then rode a horse to lead Aziz to the place where the prisoners were interrogated. (To be continued......)
