Thinking of this, William sighed helplessly, and at the same time looked beside him at the latest report sent by Cheka: "Then, there is Kublai's army. otbnkotgt After such calculations, William was even less optimistic about Salida Khan's future.
This guy did have an army of 100,000 under his command.
But they are all rabble-rousers with backward equipment and little training.
His opponent was a regular army carrying a large number of firearms and artillery.
The difference in combat power between the inside and the outside is ridiculously large.
Fortunately, Salida Khan is a rational guy.
With a huge disparity in strength, Salida Khan has no intention of engaging in a decisive battle with his opponent.
He chose his camp in the Cumanchincha grassland, and then continued to harass the dark elves with light cavalry squads and attack supply transportation routes.
Use such tactics to hinder the opponent's progress.
At the same time, he continued to send forwards to explore the road, hoping to use the mobility of the nomadic cavalry to make a big detour and go around to the rear of the dark elves to launch a surprise attack.
But dark elves are not fools either.
Having the upper hand, they responded to the harassment and detour tactics of the nomads by building camps.
Wooden camps, mud camps, and rock fortresses.
The Ottoman Empire, which was wealthy and had sufficient manpower, used the most common tactics used by settlers against nomads.
That is to build camps, fortresses, and fortresses.
Expand your control area bit by bit.
In a short period of time, this tactic has little effect.
However, William believed that as time went by, there was not enough logistical supplies, and the space for detours became smaller and smaller, Salida Khan would be more and more likely to be defeated in the end.
Because he only has a nomadic cavalry unit, he is unable to attack the opponent's fortresses and camps.
The dark elves have abundant artillery, gunpowder and muskets.
Their castles can be defended impregnably.
"So, there are two things in total that I should assist Sarida Khan, no, it should be three.
One is food and grass, and the other is gunpowder weapons.
Third, if the situation really comes to a critical juncture, I will directly send reinforcements to assist Salida Khan.
"In this way, William made a decision in order to protect the family's interests in the large border area and to prevent the Ottoman Empire from encroaching on this area.
If necessary, even if all the White Army and the New Circassian Army are wiped out, they will not hesitate.
In this way, in September, William's letter, the messenger, along with a total of twenty three-pound cannons, five hundred muskets, a large amount of ammunition and gunpowder, came to Salida Khan's military camp and sent a message to Salida Khan.
William's wishes were brought.
When he first saw the messenger, Sarida Khan could barely resist the urge to kill him.
But soon, Salida Khan calmed down.
In this situation, he shouldn't do this.
"I understand."
In the end, Sarida Khan chose the most correct choice: "Go back and tell Earl William.
I will never forget what he did to Tartariya.
However, I will never forget that I A friend who reached out to Tartariya in times of crisis, and I accepted his terms.”
"Thank you very much for your understanding, wise Khan."
After hearing Salida Khan's answer, merchant John breathed a sigh of relief.
It seemed that it was because of his last mission to the Ottomans that he had such a good job now. , William thought of him again.
"Then let's have a banquet in honor of the envoy.
I want to reply to a letter to William.
Please take it back with me."
Sarida Khan's smile was very forced, and could even be said to be ferocious.
Although he chose to cooperate with the Hereford family due to current events, this did not mean that Salida Khan would forget the humiliation of the previous defeat.
This feeling of powerlessness made Salida Khan mad with hatred.
At the same time, his murderous intention towards those who were his enemies became more and more obvious.

"Thank you for your tolerance."
Businessman John also noticed Sarida Khan's murderous intention.
He immediately replied: "After the low-level alliance, more weapons, equipment, food and supplies will be shipped continuously.
Even if necessary, the Hereford family's army will stand side by side with the Tartarian army.
Fight."
Merchant John's words reminded Salida Khan that the situation in Tartariya simply did not allow him to act arrogantly.
Although he knew that William's aid had bad intentions, it was to let Salida Khan act as a shield for him and weaken the strength of both parties.
But in his current situation, he is like a person who is about to starve to death.
Even if he knew that pufferfish was poisonous, he wouldn't care so much.
In this way, William and Salida Khan finalized their intention to cooperate.
After this, Duke Otto, who was persuaded by William, also changed his decision and prepared to go to Novgorod to be crowned Grand Duke of Novgorod.
This is a big step for the Hereford family.
As long as they are crowned as Grand Duke, the Hereford family and the Trieste family will no longer have a subordinate relationship.
In this way, he is one step closer to the position of Grand Duke of Mystia, King of Wende, and Emperor of the Gothic Empire.
"That's almost it."
William thought in his heart.
While waiting for the arrival of his father, Duke Otto, he was also nervously observing the outcome of the two wars.
One of them was naturally the war between the Tartariya Khanate and the Ottoman Empire.
The other one was the civil war in the Ostrogothic Empire.
It's almost the end, it's almost the end.
The northern princes of the empire ultimately failed to defeat the crowned King Kalman IV in the south.
This powerful emperor, who controlled Great Moravia, Franconia, Lombardy, and large areas of the Magyar Kingdom outside the empire, finally pushed the King of Lotharnia, who was secretly supported by the Britons in the north, to a desperate situation. .
Nominally, the Ostrogothic Empire included the seven kingdoms of Wende, Franconia, Great Moravia, Lombardy, Lotharnia, Frisia, and Retejord.
But now that Wende is divided, most of the territory of Frisia is controlled by the Britons.
The Kingdom of Rythjord was seized of most of its territory in the Dwarf War two hundred years ago, leaving only a few city-states along the coast.
Difficulties are just empty names.
Therefore, the actual territory of the Ostrogothic Empire was only the four kingdoms of Franconia, Great Moravia, Lombardy, and Lotharnia.
After unifying these four kingdoms, the Gothic Emperor was justified.
Regardless of whether it is the remaining city-state of Reitjord or the four Grand Dukes of Wende, they will surrender to Kalman IV.
This is terrible news for the Kingdom of Briton, which appears to be prosperous but is actually surrounded by wolves.
After unifying the basic structure of the Gothic Empire, what His Majesty the Emperor is going to do next, even if you think on your heels, you can figure out, that is to take back the imperial territory controlled by foreign monarchs.
Nowadays, the foreign monarch controls the most imperial territory. , which is the Kingdom of Briton.
Fighting against a Gothic emperor who was basically complete and had the allegiance of the entire empire, even a country as powerful as the Briton Kingdom would feel a lot of pressure.
William, who learned about the battle situation two days late, called it a pity.
He finally understood why the "other queen of Briton" was so anxious to cooperate with him.
If this battle report had come two days earlier, he would have been more confident to cooperate with Victoria.
Negotiations are coming.
There is no cure for regret in the world, but there are countless contract breakers in the world who can serve as role models.
Even better, William's collaboration with Victoria involved the Hereford Consolidated Company and the Great Briton Company alone.
Therefore, if things really develop in the Gothic Emperor's favor, the Hereford family can be a mere wallflower without any scruples.
"It's just a pity."
William sighed: "I originally thought that the civil war could be fought for a while longer, and I would wait until my father became King Wende before getting involved, and then seek more benefits, and even go further to be crowned the Gothic Emperor.
But now it seems that there is no chance.”
Although he said that, William didn't look too uncomfortable and there were still opportunities.
The current Gothic Emperor Kalman IV is almost sixty years old.

Moreover, he was injured when he was young, and his strength was limited between a great knight and a knight mentor.
It can be said that he may die at any time due to a sudden illness.
The opponent is such an old man, and William's age is his biggest advantage.
Ten years later, Kalman IV was seventy years old, and William was just thirty years old and in the prime of life.
By then, William will have control of both the Wende Kingdom and the Slavic lands.
If there is another battle for the throne, William believes that he will not lose.
Just like this, in the middle of the Old Continent, when the war was raging in the east and west, the Hereford family represented by William hid quietly aside, watching the excitement, hoping that the heads of the warring parties would beat the heads of the dogs. , the corpse nourishes the earth and contributes to the next year's autumn harvest.
In late September, Prince Otto finally arrived in Novgorod.
After a grand entrance ceremony, a coronation ceremony was held in the original Novgorod City Council, now the Grand Duke's residence, and the oath of allegiance was accepted from the local nobles, most of whom were the original Novgorod members.
This heralded the beginning of the Hereford family's rule over Novgorod.
At the same time, after receiving sufficient support from gunpowder, weapons, and grain, Salida Khan decided to launch a large-scale offensive against the Ottoman army.
William was not too optimistic about this.
According to his idea, he hoped that Salida Khan would build a bastion fortress in a prominent position, defend it with artillery, and then use the mobility advantage of the nomadic light cavalry to harass the opponent and force the opponent to give up the march to the north of Tronica. 160420oshow7:
