Chapter 1408: Arabian Storm (Seventy-Nine)

In the midst of worry and worry, Ma Bond finally waited for the news sent by Zhang Xiao from the Cuman side.

After learning the news, Ma Bond finally put aside his worries and began to order the transport team that had been prepared long ago to start transporting goods into Cuman.

At the same time, in order to prevent the attacks of the three major tribes, Ma Bond also sent out a Bedouin team that had undergone a period of military training.

After doing this qiē, Ma Bond let go of the big stone in his heart.

At this time, Zhang Xiao and the others were cleaning up the battlefield in a sand dune.

Undulating sand dunes, covered from top to bottom, with camel and human carcasses. Some of the people and camels who did not die immediately struggled and groaned.

However, no matter how much they struggle, they could not escape their fate in the end.

Burst!

A glittering bayonet pierced the bodies of the mortally wounded, taking away the last glimmer of hope for their lives.

For those injured camels, the people who are cleaning the battlefield at this moment do not pay any attention. Their attention is focused on finding anyone who might still be alive.

This team cleaning up the battlefield is the Imperial Army led by Zhang Xiao.

An hour and a half earlier, they had encountered a Tatanir patrol here, and a sudden battle had broken out.

The outcome of the encounter was clear, ending with the annihilation of the Tatanir patrol.

On Zhang Xiao's side, there was not a single injured person, and it can be said that there were zero casualties and they won the victory.

It's a pity that this Tatanir patrol didn't have any wealth to scavenge, so this made Zhang Xiao very disappointed.

A patrol of five hundred men did not even resist the fire of the Imperial Army's two-wheel platoon guns, and ended up in such a situation.

This result was an eye-opener for the Bedouin warriors who had volunteered to stay and had been trained by the Imperial Army.

Originally, they were very unimpressed with the training they received.

Which into thought. This kind of tactics can be so sharp.

In this encounter, none of these Bedouin warriors made a move, and by the time they reacted, the battle was over.

Although the scale of the encounter was small, it was enough to shock them.

"I can't imagine that I can fight like this. In the past, I didn't believe it at all, but the fact in front of me made me believe that it was all true. ”

Fariyah urged the camel and came to Zhang Xiao's side, looking at Zhang Xiao with a shocked expression.

In this regard, Zhang Xiao's reaction was very indifferent, after all, he was very strong about the combat effectiveness of the Imperial Army under his command. That's what you know.

Therefore, he is not at all surprised.

Looking at Faliye, who came to his side and sat on the camel with a shocked face, Zhang Xiao smiled indifferently.

"It's nothing, it's just a small scene, it's not worth mentioning. Besides, you don't need to be so envious, haven't I trained you, so if you encounter an enemy. If you can fight the same way you did in training, you can achieve such results. “

Zhang Xiao's words are not bragging, but Fariyah is not very confident in this.

Even though she and her companions had undergone a short period of training, she still couldn't believe that her people could do it.

The scene of the battle just now. Even now it's still echoing in her mind.

Rapid formation, quick response, as soon as the enemy was discovered, the soldiers of the Imperial Army began to form a formation very skillfully without the order of the commander.

This time. The Tatanir patrol that suddenly appeared hadn't even started charging yet.

And by the time the Tatanir patrol began to charge, the Imperial Army was already in good array.

So. The tragedy was the case with the charging Tatanir patrols.

In a burst of crackling gunfire, the fellows were knocked out of the camel's back, or the camel was wounded and overturned to the ground.

And because of the distance, the enemy wielding a scimitar could not connect a hundred meters to the Imperial Army.

The Imperial Army shot the Tatanile patrol from a very safe distance, and finally achieved this final result without any casualties.

These were things that Farier and her companions could never have imagined, not even dreamed of.

At the same time, Fariyah recalls what Aziz had told when he returned to the tribe on his mission to Cairo and found his father.

It was only then that Fariyah truly understood what Aziz had said about how the Imperial Army had won the battle after they had encountered Kurdish cavalry under the command of the Tatanirs on the way.

At the time, she was a little unconvinced of this, and privately thought that Aziz was exaggerating.

However, now it seems that Aziz is not exaggerating a little, but is telling the truth.

"By the way, now that we are almost within the range of the Tatanirs and Bukumans, it is clear that we will encounter the next encounters like today. So you need to tell everybody to be careful from now on. ”

After Zhang Xiao thought about it, he reminded Faliye.

Fariyah nodded, remembering Zhang Xiao's reminder.

To be honest, just like Zhang Xiao said, the three major tribes in this region are now fighting frequently. Especially between the Tatanirs and the Bucummen in this area, the fighting is even more intense.

Now that they've entered the area, they have to be careful.

Otherwise, no one can say that the gutter will capsize.

After all, Zhang Xiao only had 4,000 people, and the Bedouin soldiers who volunteered to stay were only more than 600 people, and the total number of people was less than 5,000.

As far as they are concerned, if they are not careful, once the three major tribes seize the opportunity, they can be wiped out. It's no joke, so you have to be careful.

The Tatanirs and Kobeyali of the three tribes are now united to deal with the Bukuts, who were once powerful but now at a disadvantage.

It can be said that after the Tatanirs and Kopoyali united, they were much stronger than the Bukuts.

What's more, some time ago, the Bukuts were overshadowed by the Tatanirs. The loss of at least 20,000 adult soldiers is not a heavy loss.

Thus, the Bukuts are now falling behind in the confrontation with the Tatanirs, as well as with the Kopyali.

Moreover, the Tatanirs and Kopyali, taking advantage of the fact that the Bukuts had been overshadowed some time ago, began to launch a series of military operations against their vassal tribes before they came to their senses.

Through these military operations, the two tribes really benefited a lot, conquering some tribes that were originally vassals under the wing of the Bukuts.

At the same time, for those die-hards. The two tribes also gave an end to their demise.

As a result, the Bukuts have begun to fall behind in the current war, being crushed by the Tatanirs and Kopyali.

In the face of the current situation, although the Bukuts want to turn the tables, they are really powerless.

For this situation, Zhang Xiao has completely grasped it and is very clear.

Hey!

The Bukuts are quite miserable, but Zhang Xiao doesn't plan to help them.

It's not just not about not helping them. On the contrary, Zhang Xiao also wanted to participate in it, trying to get a bite from the mouths of the Tatanirs and Kopoyali.

Of course, the miserable Bukuts could not be eliminated too early, which was not in line with Zhang Xiao's plan. So. If there is a chance, Zhang Xiao will inevitably get the Tataniers or the Kopyali people.

Although this will attract hatred, Zhang Xiao is not worried at all.

Even if Zhang Xiao would provoke the Tatanirs and Kopoyali to hold a grudge, but not before the Bukuts were wiped out. Neither the Tatanirs nor the Kopoyali would have done it to themselves.

Because for both of their tribes, the Bukut people are the real enemy.

If we don't take this opportunity to completely destroy it now, then the two tribes will be in big trouble in the future.

Especially the insidious Tatanirs. They were bound to suffer retaliation from the Bukuts, who had slowed down.

Therefore, Zhang Xiao can be assured to carry out his plan boldly, and there is no need to worry about the trouble from the Tatanirs and Kopyali.

As long as he is careful not to encounter the main forces of the two tribes, then he can rest easy.

The soldiers cleaned up the battlefield quickly, and after fifteen minutes, there was no living enemy on the entire battlefield.

Just like the last time he encountered the Kurdish cavalry, Zhang Xiao also left a few small leaders to interrogate, and after getting the information he needed, he sent these guys to heaven to enjoy seventy-two virgins.

While Zhang Xiao and Farier were talking, after clearing the battlefield and disposing of a few prisoners, Zhang Xiao's adjutant came to his camel.

"Sir, according to the information provided by the captives, there is a Tatanir force of about five thousand men not far ahead of us. It was as if the army had attacked a tribe called Amo and was cleaning up the battlefield. “

Yo ho!

Zhang Xiao's eyes lit up.

Immediately, he looked at Fariyah.

"We may have met the Tatanir army that came out to attack the Bukuts, the army of five thousand is nothing to us, I plan to eat all this enemy!"

After listening to the adjutant's report, Zhang Xiao immediately had a plan, which was to wipe out this Tatanir team.

At the same time, it can also rescue the tribe called 'Amo' that was attacked and defeated by it, and if it is done well, then these people have a high chance of joining their team to fight for the Empire.

After listening to Zhang Xiao's words, Fariyah thought about it for a while and decided to support his decision.

"Good! I'm willing to act with you! “

In fact, whether there is a Fariyah or not, it has nothing to do with Zhang Xiao.

But with Falier's support, Zhang Xiao is still happier. (To be continued......)
