National Introduction:
Kugit occupies the steppe on the southeastern border of Calradia. The leader is Saiga Khan. Their symbolic animal is the wolf, and the national flag is a picture of a wolf with a pink background. National proverb: If you want peace, then prepare for war!
The corresponding reincarnation is Dastam Khan. Both Dastam and Saiga are the sons of Gerak Khan, but Saiga is the eldest and older than Dastam. After the death of Jerak Khan, Saiga declared him the new Khan.
Located in the desert of the southeastern part of the country is the Kugit Khanate, known for its swift steppe iron horsemen. The nomadic tribes live on horseback all year round because they have an innate skill in riding and archery,
In the harsh natural environment of the desert, it has honed its excellent reconnaissance and mobile combat capabilities. The large grasslands make it rich in fine horses, as well as pottery, spices, wheat, etc., and the malt wine is also very mellow.
The location of the Kugit Khanate was a relatively barren part of the Karadia continent, where there were frequent conflicts between tribes over the issue of water and grass grazing. At the same time, the law and order is very poor, and the robbers and horses are a threat to passers-by.
The Kugit Khanate in the eastern part of the continent is one of the most difficult countries on the continent, without one. A nation that survives on horseback is a rider by nature. They were rivals of the Empire when the Kalad Empire was still alive, and they possessed a rich heritage.
Mounted archers and lancers made up the legions of the various clans. Under the leadership of the Khan, hordes of cavalry raided the villages of the surrounding countries like locusts crossing the border, and then quickly fled the pursuing army, and when the strength of the other side was gauged out, they swarmed and fought as they went.
The bloated and dense enemy phalanx is a target in their eyes, often pulling the enemy's corps apart, and destroying the lone unlucky ones one by one.
However, the fragile cavalry armor often puts them at a disadvantage when fighting against other knights, the depth of the Nomad bow does not deal effective damage to heavily armored units, and the cavalry makes aiming extremely difficult. Accidental attacks during raids make it impossible for soldiers to mount their horses, and it is often a group annihilation.
The geographical location of the Kugit Khanate was easy to defend and difficult to attack, the northern kingdom of Virgia did not dare to advance, the southern Sultanate of Saland was located in a flat desert, and the old rival Svadia in the west was too busy to take care of itself.
The two central cities of Rana and Halma served as transit points for caravans on the mainland, and the tariffs were enough to feed most of the country, and it was these important places that caused the Kingdom of Svadia to exhaust its efforts to recapture them.
The strength made the domestic lords support their own troops and look down on each other. The arrogance of the khan made his country obviously have a huge guerrilla advantage, but he always wanted to capture other cities, and repeatedly perished under the city walls.
The villages of Kugit are rich in cream leather and flax, and the bandits in the country, led by Xiangma, are the most powerful bandits on the road, but they cannot make a difference in their own country, and the tribal legions, which are also cavalry, are completely superior to them in terms of equipment and skill.
The mass entry of the Kugits into the continent of Calradia should be around 1210. The early kingdom of Swadia did not oppose the Kujits, but treated them as a minority and set aside an autonomous region.
The Kugit migrated to the Calradia continent from the steppes of the highlands, and the steppe area was suitable for raising horses rather than planting, so their children were raised on horseback, and the Kugit were typical nomads. The clansmen have been good at riding and shooting since they were young, and the folk customs are fierce.
The Kujit were originally nomadic people who migrated from the Kuka steppe in the eastern part of the continent, and legend has it that they shared the same ancestors as the Tatars of the east. They believe in shamans and use wolves as totems.
The early Kujit people were mainly divided into five large tribes, the Yellow Flag Kugit, the White Flag Kugit, the Blue Flag Kugit, the Red Flag Kugit and the Black Flag Kujit, as well as a few other small tribes, such as the Humu Yang tribe.
Among these tribes, large and small, the martial arts of the Yellow Banner Kugit grew stronger, with their endurance steppe horses, fierce horsemen and sharp scimitars.
In less than a hundred years, the Yellow Flag Kugit first united with the Blue Flag Kugit, annexed the moderate White Flag Kujit, and then completely defeated the Blue Flag Kujit in the two battles of Dastuo and Dugan Grassland, becoming a veritable steppe overlord.
July 1176 in the Calradian calendar. A special baby was born on the steppe, the youngest son of the Yellow Banner Kugit Khan, Gerak, who was born at the beginning of the sun, with a loud cry and a birthmark in the shape of a red Sulu ingot spear on his palm.
The shaman said that the child would unify the Kugit steppe in the future. As a child, Gerak was a man of great strength and archery, and at the age of 19, he killed his brothers and forced the Khan to pass on the throne to him.
When he was 25 years old, he led his army to besiege the wealthy tribe of the Achmore steppe, Hongqi Kugit. The Red Banner Kugit surrendered to Gerak after several failed resistances.
Next, he defeated the most courageous Kugit of the steppe and occupied the Turga region, but the Khan of Kugit of Black Flag refused to accept it, and in a fit of rage, he skinned the Khan of Black Flag alive and made a war drum with a drumstick made from his shins.
I heard that the human skin war drum is still in the square of Tulga, and the human skin has long since decayed, but the rotten bones are still preserved.
Gerak brutally killed all the captured Black Flag men, and ordered the soldiers to publicly gang rape the Black Flag princess and her dependents in the square. This greatly irritated and insulted the Black Flag Tribe.
To this day, the Black Flag Kugit still refused to submit to the rule of Saiga Khan, the son of Jerak Khan, and they roamed the steppes, raiding passing merchants and destroying the trade routes of the Khanate.
The Khan of Gerak even expelled the general of Tulga appointed by the Swadia Empire, established himself king in the city of Tulga, and established the powerful Kugit Khanate. and founded a new city, Rana.
Growing his ambitions, Gerak conquered the most prosperous town in the lowlands, Halma, the star of the steppe, while the Empire was at war with the Nords.
The news of the fall of Halma soon shocked the Imperial Southern Command. In order to appease the Kujits, the empire had no choice but to assign Halma to the Kugit Khanate, and supply the Kugit with 100,000 gold dinars per year.
Gerak was still not satisfied, at this time he was called the "Prairie Eagle", so happy, he actually wanted to replace Svadia. However, his dream did not come true, and the Empire, having concluded an armistice with the Nords, began to turn its guns against the Kujits.
At the end of the Karad Emperor, the Kujits, under the leadership of their leader Gerak Khan, began a war of aggression against the interior of Karadia. At the same time, the Sultanate of Saland was in constant conflict.
No matter how decaying the empire is, it is still a large country in Middle-earth, which is not comparable to nomads. The proud and light-hearted Khan was defeated by the young Count Claes on the plains of Dehrim, and he himself was wounded in the arm by the Swadia knights.
At the Battle of Yalib, after being defeated by Marshal Mars, the Kugit Khanate temporarily halted its offensive into the interior. After returning to Tulga, Gelak Khan was depressed after a crushing defeat and died a few years later. A generation of heroes Gerak died in chagrin and shame.
Due to the political turmoil, the state of Kugit temporarily stopped its external expansion, and many Kugit began to own fixed assets in the city, and the Kugit Khanate entered a relatively stable period of peaceful development.
His eldest son, Saiga, declared him the new Khan, and the second son, Dastam, believed that his father's property should be divided equitably, and the Kugit Khanate should divide him in half. Dastam incited some tribes to rebel in order to divide the khanate, and his whereabouts are unknown after being defeated by Saiga Khan.
After Saiga was elected Khan, he stopped his foreign expansion and turned to develop the economy of the Khanate, and his national strength improved slightly. With the construction of the town, a part of the Kugit began to move into the city.
The Kugit army consisted entirely of cavalry. They can easily use their mobility advantage to get rid of and eliminate infantry, and mounted archers can also use this to shoot hoplites or infantry into hedgehogs unscathed.
Although the Kugit army was mainly cavalry, it also had a special unit - the Kugit Lancers. In the invasion of the Karad Empire, the Kugit Lancers were the only force that could confront the Imperial army head-on.
At the Battle of Yalib, Qujit's army faced the frontal charge of the Swadian knights, and even the khan could not protect it. This gave the young Saiga a great shock, and after becoming a Khan, Saiga vigorously developed an elite armed force, the Khan Guard.
The members of the Khan's Guard, dressed in gold armor, were all sturdy young men from the steppe. Not only is he proficient in mounted archery, but he is also a good hand at hand-to-hand combat. They were uniformly distributed equipment by the Khan. Responsible for the safety of the Khan.
Saiga Khan was an ambitious leader. Under his leadership, Kugit is gradually emerging from the shadow of defeat and trying to re-enter the interior of Calradia.
