#1397 Arab storm (sixty-eight)

Looking at the expression on Zhang Xiao’s face, he didn’t look like he was joking.

So, that is to say, what he said was his own thoughts, he really made up his mind to do this.

With the four thousand imperial army he brought, he fought against the three major tribes for the overlord power of Kuman.

Of course, from Zhang Xiao's standpoint, it is understandable to do so.

After all, the Ottomans had transferred the power of the Kuman area to the Song Empire. The Song Empire already had orthodox rule over the Kuman and was the legal master of this desert.

However, because of some Ottoman pushers, the three major tribes of Kuman have developed ambitions and coveted the rule of Kuman, so the current situation has emerged in the Kuman Desert.

The Song Empire, which could have peacefully accepted the power of Kuman, now has to obtain the rule here through force.

Because of the relationship between the three major tribes, the small and medium-sized tribes living in the Kuman area were integrated, annexed and eliminated before the war broke out. Now only the Bedouin tribes are left.

In other words, the three major tribes have already incorporated the small and medium-sized tribes of Kuman into their own wings and driven by their rule. This practice has caused its strength to soar in a short period of time.

Then, the three tribes that were originally very strong were not so easy to fight against. Now, when they became stronger, they were even more unable to compete with them.

It is precisely for this reason that the Bedouin people were considering avoiding the edge of the three major tribes in front of Zhang Xiao, avoiding fighting with them, but migrating to the Cairo Empire Concession to live again.

Their choices made by reality are also forced to do so.

Survival and death, facing these two choices in front of you, as the leader of the tribe, you should obviously know what you should choose to be the right one.

For the sake of the tribal people and themselves, and in reality, it is very correct to choose to leave Kuman.

Otherwise, what else can it be?

Could it be that I really go to fight the three major tribes to the death and then let the entire tribe be destroyed by the other party?

No!

It is wrong to do this.

Even if I want to be a hero, there is no reason why the tribes of the entire tribe follow me to die.

Besides, the leaders of these tribes are not heroes either.

It can be said that such an idea is not just a true inner portrayal of one or a few tribal leaders. Basically, the thirteen tribal leaders of the Bedouin tribes all have this idea.

That is, they are not willing to fight against the three major tribes.

However, some people already want to migrate away from Kuman. Some people are still hesitating whether to choose to go there, or stay and see the situation.

After all, like the Bajir tribe, other tribes are also a little reluctant to leave the place where their ancestors live.

Because they feel sorry for their ancestors.

If possible, it would be better to survive this turmoil without leaving Kuman.

Unfortunately, such an idea is just a luxury after all, and it is simply impossible.

The three major tribes will not allow the Bedouin tribes to unite and become the fourth force outside of letting them control.

"Of course we respect your choice. But I have to tell the truth that your troops are too few, and you cannot compare with any of the three major tribes. Even for the Tatanils with the smallest population, you can easily send an army of more than 10,000 people, so I don't think this is a very wise choice."

Chief Oma broke the dull atmosphere and expressed his opinion to Zhang Xiao.

His expression was very sincere and he also expressed an obvious fact. He hoped to impress Zhang Xiao, let him understand the gap between the enemy and him, and let him give up such a decision.

However, Oma is destined to be disappointed.

Because he didn't know anything about Zhang Xiao and the empire.

He wouldn't understand at all what kind of existence the Empire was. And as a member of the Emperor's Team, Zhang Xiao was so proud.

Of course, this pride is not that blind or arrogant.

Instead, it is based on the confidence of having excellent weapons, cross-age tactics, and elite soldiers.

Moreover, the imperial army has also experienced the trial of blood and fire, and is not the kind of rookies who dizzy when they see blood. In addition, with excellent weapons, cross-age tactics and tactics, and insights beyond this era, it is not an exaggeration to say that the soldiers of the Imperial Army are the most elite soldiers of this era.

Moreover, the Imperial Army, which has advantageous weapons such as muskets, has many battle examples of one less hitting more. So even when facing powerful enemies like the three major tribes, Zhang Xiao is of course confident.

You should know that the establishment of the Song Empire was not so peaceful. And after the establishment of the Song Empire, the Chinese genes cultivated by Zhao Hongyu in the early days all experienced war baptism.

Moreover, before entering Cuman, Zhang Xiao and others were also sent from the Americas to Europe to help the French defend the border in southeastern France in more than a year in the early years.

At that time, opposite the Eight Thousand Imperial Army, the enemy had a total of 70,000 to 80,000 Holy Roman Empire Army.

In terms of numbers, the Imperial Army has considerable disadvantages.

But even so, this imperial army, which had only 8,000 people, still blocked the attack of the Holy Roman Empire, defended the French's southeastern border defense line, and bought time for the French.

At that time, Zhang Xiao was also one of them, and he experienced this battle to aid France for about a year and a half.

Before this, he also participated in the Spanish crusade against South America and the strangle battle of the natives of South America. It can be said that he has very rich combat experience and experience in commanding battles.

Earlier, he even participated in the war against the British and Iroquois Indians after the establishment of the Song Empire.

After all, Zhang Xiao was one of the genetic people trained by Zhao Hongyu in the early days, so he participated in so many battles. However, Zhang Xiao personally has a small shortcoming, which leads to every time he becomes a military chief, he will be replaced and become a grassroots soldier.

This led to the fact that although he was a group of genetic people who were cultivated a few earlier, his current status and title were the lowest.

Zhang Xiao doesn't care about this.

However, it is precisely because of these experiences that he has rich experience in combat and command, especially in small corps with less than 10,000 people.

Therefore, even if the opponent is the three powerful tribes, Zhang Xiao is not afraid at all.

There is nothing wrong with the three tribes being powerful, but the three tribes are behind in the era of cold weapons. Even if they have an absolute advantage in number, if they compare their comprehensive strength, it is not necessarily impossible for them to defeat them.

As long as the tactics and plans are used properly, it will not be empty talk to defeat the three major tribes, even if one has a great disadvantage in terms of military strength. But it can also achieve the final victory.

Zhang Xiao has strong confidence in this regard.

However, Chief Oma and others don’t know about Zhang Xiao’s confidence. After all, they don’t know much about the empire, and they can’t know why Zhang Xiao is so confident.

Farier, sitting beside Chief Oma, stared at Zhang Xiao with complex eyes with a proud and confident face.

The little girl not only has a very complicated expression on her face, but she is actually very entangled inside.

To be honest, Farier, who is very boyish, has a very strong recognition of Zhang Xiao's choice to fight against the three major tribes.

Don’t think that Liye is a girl. However, because she was raised by her father as a boy since she was a child, she had a very boyish temperament, which was completely different from ordinary girls.

In Farier's opinion, she highly appreciated Zhang Xiao's choice and agreed with it very much.

Yes, the Bedouin people are proud, and their ancestors demonstrated their reputation and honor through their bravery. But now, although the Bedouin people are still shrouded in the halo of honor left by their ancestors, they are actually on a downward verge.

If this continues, the Bedouin will become useless.

Even when facing powerful enemies, the ancestors bravely went to Five Thousand never retreated.

But look at it now. No one has the courage to do so anymore.

Farier felt very sad and disappointed about this.

But now, she saw these precious things in Zhang Xiao.

So, she appreciated it very much.

However, Farier also did not deny that Zhang Xiao is indeed at present, and the number of Emperor* teams he brought was too small, with only 4,000 people.

It is easy for any three major tribes to stand up and take out an army of 50,000 or 60,000 troops.

Therefore, with this little force, Zhang Xiao wanted to fight against the three major tribes, which was really a dream.

It is precisely because of this that while Farier appreciates him, he also feels that he is a little unwise.

Of course, Farier still recognized Zhang Xiao’s courage at least at this time. Who made none of the elders at this time have the courage to confront the three major tribes?

Therefore, in Farier's view, Zhang Xiao is the only man with such a rare and valuable feature.

"It is my own decision to choose to stay. I respect your decision to leave Kuman," Zhang Xiao continued to say. "I can write a letter to the tribes I want to leave. After I arrive at the Cairo Concession and hand it over to the Governor, the Governor will know how to help you."

Zhang Xiao's words later have been made very clear. He will not force everyone to stay and fight with him and fight with the three major tribes, and will provide some help when they choose to migrate to Cairo.

This made the leaders feel much more at ease.

They just worried that Zhang Xiao would force them to stay and fight against the three major tribes.

Outside the tent, the night began to fade away, and a trace of dawn appeared in the sky. Before we knew it, Zhang Xiao and the leaders had been talking for a night.

And, they have reached a preliminary agreement... (To be continued...)
