Section 1083 Such a dilemma?!
In just a moment, Hassan made the ancients, and the tribal leaders were vigilant!
Who said that the Chinese are easy to deal with, let him come!
Tatar hussars and two other tribal cavalry sent the Chinese cavalry out of the country!
If they really want to work hard, it is really possible to keep all the Chinese cavalry.
After all, they are the elite cavalry of the empire, and they are the best in the world in cavalry and archery, and after the Tatars and Mongol cavalry in the east have declined, it should be their turn to be called the eldest brother.
But what about staying!
How many cavalry else could see the walls of Cairo?
Why bother!
This is the great difference between the nationalization of the army in the southeast and the Ottoman tribal army, the generals of the southeast army understand very well that the army is the leader, they are the commander, the more heroic the battle and the more results they achieve, the number of shortages in the army, the leader will make up for them, and they will allocate more troops, more and more troops, so the generals are full of energy.
The members of the tribal army come from all tribes, and when the army is exhausted, there is no one left, and the tribe will decline and be slaughtered!
Therefore, the leaders of each tribe must pay attention to strategy, try to get the results of the battle, and at the same time, they must not let their tribe become a slave.
When the Chinese outnumbered the enemy by a thousand men and retreated calmly, the Ottoman cavalry followed, keeping a certain distance between the two sides, and no battle took place.
The Ottoman cavalry retains its strength, and the cavalry of the Southeast Army will not be stupid enough to fight hard with the enemy, everyone is polite.
Irfani, the commander of the Tatar light cavalry, led his troops to follow the southeastern army all the way to the new city of Cairo, looking at the city from a distance, although he couldn't see it clearly through the telescope, but he saw the ratio of people to the city wall, and couldn't help muttering in his heart, this city wall is too high, right?!
It's not good to look at it from afar, but it's hard to see it up close!
Oh, my God!
Ilfani and the others were straight-eyed, wasn't it, such a majestic city?
Is this Cairo? How doesn't it look like it?
Including the moat, the outer wall, and the inner wall, the wide moat is like a belt that holds the city wall firmly together, and the tall city wall is two stories long, standing majestically, looking even higher and more majestic than the walls of Istanbul!
You know, in order to show the majesty of the Ottoman Empire and make the various tribes of the coming dynasty have a reverence for the Ottoman Empire, successive sultans are willing to spend money on the walls of Istanbul, and the repair is extremely spectacular and beautiful, but the city in front of you seems to be inferior to this city by three points!
The outer city wall is made of granite stones, and the inner city wall is made of bricks, which is neat and beautiful.
There are also towers and corner towers one after another on the city wall, and you can see the cannon ports sticking out of various places above, how many cannons have been prepared by this Chinese?
Ilfani couldn't help but groan, his scalp tingling at the fact that his army was about to attack such a majestic city.
At the same time, it is not without rejoicing that we are cavalry!
Shocked by Xiongcheng, Ilfani is ten miles away from the city, and no one disagrees!
Anyone who could build such a city would be respected by them, and anyone who dared to underestimate them would be severely punished, so Ilfani dared to go down far from the village for safety.
He soon learned that this was the new Cairo New City built by the Chinese, and that the Old City of Cairo was to the south of it.
Since the Cairoans helped the Chinese build the new city, it is not surprising that he was unkind to the Cairoes, so he led his army into the old city of Cairo.
However, he was disappointed, and the old city of Cairo was depressed, sparsely populated, and all the mansions were locked and locked.
The people who remained greeted them happily and complained bitterly about the abomination of the infidels--- in fact, the southeastern army withdrew from the city a day after entering the city, and the local people ruled over the city, and the Chinese did not commit any offence against them at all, hoping that the Ottoman army would punish the infidels on behalf of God.
Those people were fanatics, or pseudo-fanatics, and Ilfani didn't want to get into trouble, so he didn't attack them.
There are also people who are poor and can't get anything good if they want to.
"Well, do you have anything to eat, can you give us some?" Those people begged Irfani for food, and Ilfani was unhappy to let them climb!
A closer inspection and unceremoniously slam open the door of the rich man's house, in case there is no hope.
The rich people of the city fled, and most of the people also fled, taking with them their belongings and livestock, and there was no property, supplies, livestock, and food in the city.
Yes, the Chinese organized them to leave, not long after the completion of the new city of Cairo.
"How abominable are they to flee with the infidels and not stay behind to meet the army of God!" Irfani was annoyed, but thought to himself, "They're not stupid! ”
If these people were here, Ilfani would be able to spend a lot of money!
Unable to get anything, Ilfani left the empty old city of Cairo and toured around, their cavalry crossed the Nile to the west bank, a hundred miles away, and then fell into complete silence.
The radius of a hundred miles was looted as if it had been ravaged by locusts, and there was not much population, not many supplies, and nothing of value could be found!
And the land that has passed a hundred miles is the habitat of various independent tribes, and they have nothing to do with Cairo, and if you want to rob them, you have to greet them with their swords and arrows.
Ilfani was shocked to find that his troops were starving!
Tens of thousands of cavalrymen ate horses and chewed not a small number, they marched quickly, broke away from the baggage behind, and arrived in the Cairo area, with very little harvest, pitiful few!
The income is not enough to support tens of thousands of horses, one more day, people are hungry and horses are hungry, people are hungry and dizzy, horses can eat grass to live, but staying together is not enough to eat, they have to spread out to raise, and it is easy to lose weight just by eating grass, what if the Chinese cavalry kills out?
Ilfani never dreamed that he would fall into such a predicament, he never thought of it!
The solution in front of him is to ransack the old city of Cairo, but the essence of this city is gone, and there is nothing to be grabbed again!
The second method is to raid the tribes a hundred miles away from Cairo, who have the population and supplies, and it is worth trying.
If you succeed in doing it, you can do anything!
Ilfani finally dispelled this idea, he was a veteran, and when he passed by those tribes, he found that they were very vigilant--- it is said that the Chinese warned them before leaving, and if they really want to fight, they are afraid that they will have to share their teeth.
The tribal army is intertwined, and if you fight one, a group will come, and if you force them to rebel, you will not be able to use your own head by Farhad Pasha to thank the tribal army!
The third method is to return to the army and get the heavy support of the rear army to avoid starving to death!
But if you really run back, do you still want a face?
Needless to say in the future, I am afraid that the grain and grass will be escorted!
Irfani gritted his teeth and ordered: "The people of Cairo are complicit in the pagans and blasphemy of the holy city, and they should be blamed!" ”
"Yes!" The impatient men viciously stormed the old city of Cairo and turned it upside down!
As if the floor was washed, the only remaining family resources of the people left in the city were robbed, and they were completely reduced to poor eggs!
This time it's their turn to starve!
