That's pretty much it, while William and his party were discussing the future, the situation in the Great Border Region. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info Sarida Khan is gambling with his life. Just like any powerful nomadic cavalry commander. He chose the most lethal, hardest, and most dangerous steppe cavalry tactics.

Circuitous.

The new cowardly army under his command, under his command, bypassed the main army of the dark elves in front of them. Head to the southern hinterland of Tronica - the targets are the seaports of the Tronica region!

Arson, burning, destroying. Whether it's a ship in a port, or a warehouse in a dock. Except for the necessary supplements needed by the cowardly Xue army, all of them were burned. Those who rushed to hear the news were treated equally by the local garrisons of the Ottoman Empire, to the Slavites who had taken refuge with the Dark Elves, or even the centaurs. Use light cavalry tactics to crush it.

In this way, in the shortest possible time, Sarida Khan continued to attack, march, fight and destroy - his goal was to completely destroy the transport routes of the Ottoman Empire with such tactics. With such tactics, the army of hundreds of thousands of dark elves on the front line will be suffocated to death!

It's like William thought of it in the first place, and used the logistics problem to force the other party to retreat on his own initiative. As one of the best army generals of this era, standing at the top, Sarida Khan also thought of this possibility for the first time.

Moreover, in order to achieve this goal, he did it more purely and thoroughly than William.

Killing, burning—the best of Tronica's Black Sea coast is not the work of anyone else, but a miracle created by Sarida Khan under his leadership during the years of his reign in the Tartarya Khanate.

It was during the reign of Sarida Khan that the commerce of the Tartariya Khanate, which had always appeared as a barbarian, poor and backward, developed by leaps and bounds. Trade in the Black Sea region brought Sarida Khan great wealth and, unlike war, another way of exerting power over other countries. Because of this, the Tartariya Khanate grew from a poor and backward empty empire with a huge territory and a name as an enemy of humanity to a first-rate power that could influence the situation on the mainland.

Today, however, it all ends there. After the blows of the Ottoman Empire, the Black Sea trade once again ushered in a great disaster.

This catastrophe was created by Sarida Khan, the founder of the Black Sea trade.

Over the next month or so, Sarida Khan and his new cowardly Xue army fought for 2,000 miles, and fought more than 40 battles of all sizes. Destroyed more than a dozen ports of all sizes on the Black Sea coast. Nearly 10,000 tons of military supplies, including artillery, muskets, ammunition, artillery, food, weapons and equipment, and ships, were burned, and nearly 50,000 soldiers and civilians on the Black Sea coast were slaughtered.

It can be said that he completely ruined the basis of trade on the Black Sea coast. With the exception of the Crimean Peninsula, which was preserved by the existence of the Perekop Isthmus, most of the ports on the Black Sea coast were destroyed by Tharida Khan. After the catastrophe, trade along the Black Sea coast could not recover for at least two decades. And after this catastrophe, the remaining docks will definitely not be able to support the logistics supply of an army of more than 100,000 people, equipped with gunpowder weapons.

Surviving to the death, Sarida Khan finally accomplished his strategic goals. What's more, during these two months of continuous fighting, he developed an elite cavalry armament that was loyal to him. Using the weapons and equipment plundered from the Ottomans, they were armed into a lean light cavalry force.

For Sarida Khan, who can only rely on tribal soldiers at present, it is simply a life-saving rain - no matter how high his prestige is, no matter how loyal the nomadic tribes of the steppes are to him, or how stupid they are. They were still not as strong as Sarida Khan's own soldiers.

In this way, Sarida Khan, who had completed his strategy, led his army back to the place where he originally set out. North of Tronica, in the defensive line built with the help of engineers sent by the Hereford family-

While the army of Sarida Khan was raging in South Tronica, the army of the Dark Elves in southern Ruthenia was not for nothing.

It's just that compared to Sarida Khan's miraculous strategic vision and ruthless methods of warfare. The commander of the Dark Elves is very, very ...... Weak.

In the beginning, the Dark Elf commander wanted to do everything in his power to attack the defenses of the Tartarian army. Soon, however, the plan failed.

Because the logistical supply lines were hit, the Ottoman army, which did not have enough artillery and shells, had no problem with the Tartarian army.

The Tartarian army was huddled in several small cement-poured fortresses, and the artillery and artillery provided by the Hereford family made these fortresses like meat grinders. After several failed attacks, the Ottoman army gave up its intention to continue the offensive.

It was only after that the Dark Elf commander thought about adjusting his tactics. Send more troops south to attack Sarida Khan and the new cowardly army.

It's just that at the very beginning, the dark elves didn't realize the terribleness of Sarida Khan - or rather, after the previous miracle of the Vistula, Sarida Khan was defeated at the hands of William, the dark elves thought that this centaur Khan was a mediocre talent. Completely forget the lessons learned in the previous ten Armenian Wars, and the helplessness of the Dark Elves in the face of the Sarida Khan in the heyday of the Tartariya Khanate in the Second Great Frontier War.

He sent only a small number of light cavalry troops, mixed with the cavalry and centaur forces under Kublai who had surrendered. Thought that this would be enough to clean up Sarida Khan.

The cavalry commander of the Dark Elves also made a mistake - in the face of the fact that Sarida Khan used nomadic cavalry to endure hardships and hardworking, and could create a mobile advantage on continuous marches, he made the decision to divide his army. The troops, which had little advantage in the face of the new cowardly army of Sarida Khan, were divided into several groups, which were stationed in several important ports and cities.

This had the tragic consequence that these troops were easily annihilated one by one by the new cowardly Xue army. The Dark Elves' cavalry commander's wishful thinking of "pestering the enemy with one force, and then the rest of the troops coming to the aid of the enemy" did not work.

That's it, Sarida Khan succeeded. Although after this, the Dark Elves' army still far outnumbered his nomadic army in terms of numbers and combat effectiveness. But in the case of successive attacks on logistical supply routes, and an unsuccessful attack on the defensive lines of the Tartarian army. The morale of the Great Army has weakened a lot. There is no longer the ability to continue to advance north.

Moreover, the Dark Elves, who launched the 10th Armenian War, the First Tronica War, and the Second Tronica War in a short period of time, although not on the verge of collapse due to continuous wars like the Tartarian Khanate, have also greatly consumed the national power. There is no longer the strength to continue waging war in a short period of time.

That is, the large border area, safe.

The Hereford family is safe.

Even if you don't have to take advantage of favors, relying on Imperial reinforcements and Kalman IV, which may not be very reliable, is no problem at all.

"That's good. That guy. ”

After getting the relevant information, William couldn't help but sigh.

Although there are no famous generals on the dark elf side, this is also one of the reasons. But in the face of adversity, Sarida Khan, who defeated the strong with the weak, still performed remarkably. And what made William feel even more relieved was that. After a battle devastated South Tronica, the Tartarian Khanate completely lost the possibility of revival.

"There is not enough population, there are not enough resources, there is not enough strategic space...... Bury Tartaria's future with his own hands...... I wonder how Sarida Khan is feeling now...... Hehe......"

Thinking of the end, William couldn't help but laugh. Not bad, really good. The biggest stumbling block in the rise of the Hereford family disappeared. Next, the Hereford family will be a smooth road.

And then the next thing was just like William had thought. At the end of 1748. The army of the Dark Elves, who were not superior in strategy and tactics, finally left Ruthenia in disgrace.

Next, the dark elves began to recuperate, **** wounds, accumulate strength, and wait for the next round of invasion.

Although the best expected goals were not achieved. Annexation of the entire territory east of the Vistula River. However, they swallowed the whole of Teronica in their stomachs anyway. This land, together with the territories of the Dark Elves in the Carpathian and Armenian regions, turned the entire Black Sea into an internal lake of the Ottoman Empire.

Strategically, the Dark Elves have the best bridgehead to advance into the human world. It's not a loss.

By contrast, after the complete loss of the most civilized Tronika, the Tartariya Khanate was left with only the territories of Ruthenia, Pyrm and the Cuman-Chincha steppes.

The biggest feature of these sites is that they are vast and sparsely populated. The total population is probably not as large as any kingdom in the human world. Moreover, the degree of development is extremely low, and the level of science and technology and business is extremely poor.

Despite the stirring words of the Dark Elves' retreat at the celebration of the retreat of the Dark Elves, "This is the beginning of the revival of the Khanate!", and was cheered and praised by the nomads with low intelligence. But anyone with a little brain knows that the Tartarya Khanate is finished, and there is no hope of any revival. This so-called enemy of mankind, in the next time, has no possibility to touch the order of this world. In a sense, Sarida Khan's efforts are completely meaningless.
