"Why did the Kopuyalis do this? What's the benefit for them? I think they're completely useless to do this. If I command the Kopuyalis' army and let the elite attack the Bukuts at the beginning, I think it would be possible that it would take so long to decide the outcome of the battle."

Farier's words almost made Zhang Xiao laugh.

It turns out that the ignorant is meaningless, and only Farier can say such words. She looks like this and thinks that things should be like this.

This made Zhang Xiao speechless.

"You can't say that. The reason why you have this idea is that you are directing a small battle with no more than 500 troops on both sides. You are looking at this battle with more than 200,000 people. So I want to tell you seriously that your idea is really wrong, and it is very outrageous."

Farier was a little dissatisfied, so she pouted and looked at Zhang Xiao. In her cognitive ability and military strength, not all the same as wars, so what's the difference?

Zhang Xiao was very patient and explained to her.

"Don't be dissatisfied. If you listen to me and you will understand why your mistakes are said to me as outrageous."

"Then tell me."

Zhang Xiao put down the telescope in his hand and turned his eyes to the battlefield: "A small battle can be completely won with courage. However, such a method is simply impossible in the battle of large corps. Think about it, even if you are the most famous warrior, you have to face an overwhelming enemy. Even if you have strong fighting skills, it is impossible to perform..."

Farier slowly fell silent and fell into deep thought.

Zhang Xiao said it right. A war of hundreds of thousands of people is useless for personal courage.

Personal abilities are very small in this environment, and they are even impossible to be exerted at all.

In such combat effectiveness, what is required is group cooperation and the command of skilled grassroots commanders.

Even if the orders issued by the senior commander are the most correct, they still need to be implemented well by the grassroots commander.

Once the grassroots commanders fail, although they can understand the intentions of the senior management, they act recklessly or have deviations in their execution. It will affect the outcome of the entire battle.

Some wisdom from the top is also particularly important.

Zhang Xiao admired the method used by the Cop Yali people in this battle.

It is a very clever way to use cannon fodder-like vassal tribe army to consume the opponent's elite.

Although the Bukut people who have already put on the trap seem to be gaining the upper hand at the moment, Zhang Xiao knew very well that after several hours of combat, the elite soldiers' physical energy had been consumed a lot. Now they are very tired.

In contrast, the elite of the Cop Yali people have not been dispatched so far.

Once the Kopyalis will dispatch elite troops at this time, the situation on the battlefield will definitely be reversed, and the current advantages of the Bukuts will no longer exist.

With Zhang Xiao's explanation, Farier finally gradually understood these issues that she had never cared about. These were some knowledge hidden under the surface and she had never been exposed to.

It can be said that Zhang Xiao opened a door for her and a door to knowledge.

"You are so knowledgeable."

At this time, he no longer looked dissatisfied, but had completely changed into a worshipful expression. Even the blue eyes were filled with a girl with admiration, and Zhang Xiao was very embarrassed when he was looking at it.

He is so delicate that he even blushs. He is such a cute man.

Zhang Xiao lowered his head, raised his hand and grabbed his nose to relieve his shy reaction.

Farier saw his reaction and suddenly felt very cute and fun.

In Farier's seventeen years of life, she has never seen a man like this. This is completely different from the men she has seen, so this is also why Zhang Xiao is puzzled to see her.

"This... nothing. In the empire, officers like me will enter the military academy to learn military knowledge, so any qualified officer will understand these things."

Zhang Xiao replied modestly.

"I really don't know what the empire looks like, but I can even teach such knowledge. I think the empire must be very powerful. The Ottoman Empire I know will not teach such knowledge casually."

In this era, military knowledge is really not taught casually, so Farier's words are not wrong.

The practice of teaching military knowledge in schools will not appear until modern times.

At this time in the early 17th century, military knowledge was something that only nobles could learn in the West, and even if they were taught, they would teach their families.

It is impossible for outsiders to learn.

The same is true in the East, especially military knowledge, which is also family-born knowledge.

Anyone who passes down a military book from his ancestors or something will be very precious.

"If you have the chance, you can also study in the Americas. I will even be your referee at the right time. Anyway, you are still young and it is not too late to learn military knowledge and culture."

Farier's sigh made Zhang Xiao feel that in some aspects, people of this era are really a bit sad.

For example, various knowledge is controlled by nobles and churches, and it will not be learned by ordinary people at all. Through the practice of monopolizing knowledge, the West can maintain their upper rule.

In this environment, it can be said that it is not wrong for the lower class of Europe to be basically illiterate.

The situation in the East is similar to that in the West.

Only the children of a large family have the opportunity to learn cultural knowledge, but the lower-class people simply dare not think about it.

The Arab world is similar, especially for tribal people, and knowledge is even lacking.

Although Liye is the only daughter of a tribal leader, she is even worse than a primary school student in modern society in terms of cultural knowledge.

Therefore, it is not unreasonable to say that people in this era are very sad.

Of course, the reason for this situation is complicated. But the most important thing is that knowledge is considered to be monopoly. Most people cannot learn and get exposed to cultural knowledge, which leads to the emergence of this result.

This situation will last at least a hundred years before it can be improved.

However, due to the emergence of Zhao Hongyu and the establishment of the Song Empire in the Americas, some changes have begun to occur, that is, schools have appeared in the Song Empire in the Americas, including military academies that specialize in teaching military knowledge, technical schools that cultivate basic industrial knowledge, as well as primary and middle schools that teach primary school knowledge and culture...

Perhaps, the situation where knowledge is monopolized by the upper class will not change as in the original history until the early 190s.

Zhang Xiao said that he would recommend Farier to learn military knowledge, which is not just a casual talk, but is completely possible.

However, there must be a prerequisite for this.

That is, the Bagir tribe really integrated into the empire and was evaluated as excellent by the Empire Intelligence Department, so that it can be awarded such an honor.

After all, some of the knowledge taught by the Empire is ahead of this era.

Those who can learn knowledge in the empire are not only Europeans who are regarded as "farmers", but Indian children who have completely integrated into the empire, or European children who have a strong sense of belonging to the empire.

For example, those European adults who are regarded as "farmers" can learn only some professional skills in industry.

When they graduate, they will have to do very hard work.

With deeper expertise, it is impossible for the Empire to teach them.

It can be said that the empire is also doing it for knowledge monopoly.

However, what we did was not as inhumane as the upper class of various countries in this era.

"Am I really okay?"

After hearing Zhang Xiao's words, Farier looked at him with disbelief.

Zhang Xiao nodded: "Of course. There is no problem."

When Zhang Xiao talked to Farier, another hour had passed.

At this moment, the situation on the battlefield has begun to change.

Due to the failure to break through the opponent's center five times without success, the Bukut side is now a little weak. And their right wing was attacked by the Copyalis and there are signs of instability.

Therefore, the Bukuts had to ease the offensive and began to rest and prepare for new opportunities.

But the problem is that this is war, not a play-and-play game. It’s not like you want, and the initiative cannot be under the control of either side.

So, the Bukuts have a good idea, but they need to ask their opponents, Copyali, whether they agree or not.

And, the obvious problem is that there is no need to ask the Cop Yali people about this, because they will definitely not agree.

If the Copyalis would do this, then they would be so stupid.

In order to stabilize the somewhat loose right wing, the Bukuts mobilized the reserve troops to reinforce the right wing.

This left them without the power to deal with crises.

And it is exactly what the Copiari people have always expected and waited for.

Since the war has been going on, nearly five hours have passed. The battle has begun in the early morning and lasted until noon.

Although it is winter at this time and the temperature is not as hot as summer, the sunlight can still cause great harm to the skin.

Moreover, after several hours of fighting, the elite of the Bukut people had exhausted their physical strength and were very tired one by one.

"The Cop Yali people are about to take action."

After finishing his conversation with Farier, Zhang Xiao picked up the telescope and continued to observe the situation on the battlefield. When he saw the main force of the Bulkuts retreating to rest, he knew it.

Sure enough, the main force who had been raising energy and began to slowly move from the center to the opposite side. No need to think about it, this is the prelude to their charge.

The main force of the Cop Yali people is about 40,000.

Such a large army moves, it is impossible for the Bukuts to see it.

Therefore, after seeing this, the Bukuts immediately caused a small chaos.

"The Bukuts look bad. Let everyone prepare. We will take action soon."

Zhang Xiao turned around and ordered his adjutant... (To be continued, please search Piaotianwen, the novel is better and faster!
