The messenger and the asak patriarch went down first, while the other officers of the mercenary regiment stayed, because Cherchen had to arrange the route of the March.


    Cherchen first spoke and said, "ladies and gentlemen, I know some of you don''t say anything about my promise to go to the rescue, but you don''t agree in your heart."


    Said, Chechen looked at Pedro.


    When Pedro saw his nephew looking at him, he was honest and said directly: "It was saijit and Karachi who sent troops without telling you. Now one of them was defeated and killed, and one was heavily besieged. They were to blame themselves, and we had no obligation to wipe their ass. besides, there were five thousand Kalmyks in laoshizi, all of them were cavalry. Our two thousand soldiers and horses went. God''s witness, I don''t mean to be discouraged , it is likely that there will be no return. "


    Pedro said, holding his head high and his chest straight.


    While Viscount Hesse and others did not speak, they also agreed with Pedro.


    Chechen doesn''t know what uncle Pedro said is reasonable. But people can''t just look at the present and don''t look at the future.


    Chechen got up from his seat. He walked one by one in front of yelishei, fedot, Fatima and others, and then walked back three steps.


    "Do you all think so?" Chechen asked.


    Yelishei was the first to take a step forward.


    "No, commander. I fully agree with your rescue. Although the besieged are pagans, it is our friendly army after all. Since you promised, commander, you should not go back on the task promised in the name of nobility."


    Yelishei finished his words, closed his legs "pa" and then retreated into the crowd.


    Seeing that yelisheyi was the first to speak, fedot also stood up and explained his ideas: "commander, if the besieged are the people of our mercenary regiment, we will save them even if we fight our lives. But these Tatars, they are people who forget righteousness and profit, and they are unfamiliar white eyed wolves. I don''t think we should send troops."


    When fedot finished speaking, viscount Hesse agreed: "fedot is right, and I think so."


    Cherchen nodded.


    "Fatima, Ingrid, what do you think?" Chechen asked.


    Fatima looked down for a moment, but she immediately raised her head.


    "Chechen, I don''t think you should go to the rescue."


    "Fatima and I have an idea."


    Fatima seldom called her name directly in such public places. This "Chechen" screamed. Chechen was stunned, but he immediately recovered.


    "Fatima is persuading me as a wife." Chechen thought.


    On thinking of this, Chechen smiled and patted Fatima on the shoulder to thank her for her concern.


    "Everybody," Chechen said loudly, "I thank you for your concern for me and the safety of the mercenary regiment. Yes, saijit and Karachi acted without authorization. Even if we didn''t go to the rescue, no one could accuse us afterwards. But have you ever thought about what would be waiting for us if we abandoned saijitbey and returned to Azov?"


    After listening to Chechen''s question, Pedro and others looked at each other. For a long time, Pedro said first: "Chechen, are you worried that those Kalmyks will attack Yasu Fort?"


    "It''s possible," said Chechen "Uncle Pedro, you should know that our march is to gather the strength of all Tatar tribes in the cherkesk Yasu region. Now karazimir is dead. If saijetbei happens again, the officials of the Crimean Khanate in this region will be wiped out. Those Tatar tribes that have always been big will surely take refuge in the kalmek people Bian, although I''m beii of the khanate, I''m a foreigner with a shallow foundation. Once we lose the support of the Tatar tribe, even if the Kalmyks don''t attack Azov, we can''t stay here. At that time, there''s no way out except to return to the Crimean peninsula by boat. "


    Chechen said this long paragraph at one breath. He was also a little thirsty, so he stopped temporarily. First, he gave everyone time to digest and think about their words. Second, he also drank water to moisten his throat.


    Sure enough, when Chechen put down his water cup, he found that all the people were chewing their words.


    Obviously, no one thinks about it.


    At this time, Cherchen really thanked sister Christina. It was her words and deeds that enabled her to see problems from a higher height and more far-reaching.


    Chechen clapped his hands to attract the attention of his companions.


    "Everyone, think about it. If we lose both cherkesk and Yasu, then we will sell the back of the army of the Khanate to sweep the southern territory of Czar Russia to the enemy. At that time, Muhammad gley, who is worried about being attacked by the enemy, will end the attack on czar Russia ahead of schedule. Those Tatars who have not reaped satisfactory benefits from the harvest of the grassland people this year are expensive The people will hate us to the bone. We all know the attitude of Muhammad gray towards me. If we make such a big mistake, I think Muhammad gray is happy to fall into the well. Even Mahmoud Pasha, who is friendly to us, will not be able to speak for us. "


    Hearing that withdrawing troops at this time will lead to such serious consequences in the future, everyone''s heart is cold.


    "Big deal, let''s go back to Poland."


    Then Ingrid muttered.


    Chechen glanced at Ingrid.


    "Of course we can go back to Poland. But not as heroes, but as deserters."


    Ingrid lowered her head.


    At this time, Che Chen also felt that although his words made everyone aware of the serious consequences of withdrawal, they did not inspire everyone''s confidence in victory, so he mentioned the advantage of the mercenary regiment over the Kalmyk people.


    "Ladies and gentlemen, although those Kalmyks are fierce, I found that they are very afraid of fire guns. They are unfamiliar with this weapon. When the woods were attacked, the Kalmyks had a chance to catch up with me, but after I shot and killed the leader with fire, more than ten of them were afraid of my fire guns. We have thousands of fire guns and fire Guns, our long spearmen are equipped with super long spears. These are the enemies of cavalry, and we also have chariots. As long as we meet the people of saijetbei, even if there are twice as many people in Kalmyk, what''s the fear! "


    "That''s it!"


    Yelisheyi was told by Chechen that his Qi and blood surged up and agreed with him.


    "Everybody," Chechen shouted, "let these Kalmyks from the East taste our power!"


    After unifying their understanding, all officers returned to their posts to pack their bags, check their weapons, appease the soldiers and prepare to go. In the original camp, Cherchen left 120 Hessian mercenaries.


    After all this, Chechen led a total of 1380 infantry, 200 Hessian cavalry, 300 Tatar tribal cavalry and 10 artillery to set out towards the besieged place of saijit''s headquarters.


    Along the way, Chechen specially asked the patriarch of Isaac and the messenger to accompany him. He still had many questions to consult them.


    "Messenger," cried Cherchen.


    Seeing that Cherchen was calling him, the messenger quickly smiled and replied, "bey, kalka, at your command."


    "Nothing, just some questions to ask you." Chechen said with a smile. "In the morning, there are some questions that didn''t come. Please tell me more about the scene of your battle between bey and Kalmyk."


    "Yes!" kharka replied.


    Then, the false messenger kalka made up a false war history of camel cavalry versus Tatar cavalry. He said: "Although the number of turhute cavalry is not much more than ours, they have a secret weapon, that is, camels. What our horses fear most is the smell of camels, which makes our horses escape uncontrollably when the turhute camel cavalry charged us, and the original tight formation was suddenly torn open , bey and karazimir were also separated, which was the main reason for our defeat. "


    The first time I heard that the war horse was afraid of camels, Cherchen was a little incredible. He asked the head of Isak, "the war horse was afraid of camels?"


    "Yes, Lord bey. Our horses are really afraid of the smell of camels. They will be restless as soon as they smell it," Isaac said positively.


    Then, the head of the Isak clan suddenly realized and sighed, "it turns out that the Kalmyk people use camels. No wonder Lord saijietbei will be defeated. It''s not a crime of war, it''s not a crime of war!"


    In fact, horses are afraid of the smell of camels. This view is wrong. For horses who have never seen camels, it is normal to see camels, a huge animal. Once horses adapt to the existence of camels, horses will no longer be afraid of camels.


    The tall body of camels is their biggest advantage over horses. Before modern large-scale horse breeding, in fact, most of the general shoulder height of horses were between 1.3m and 1.4m. Camel cavalry can achieve a subduction advantage over ordinary cavalry by relying on the height of camels and special camel saddles.


    However, although camels have certain advantages over horses, their disadvantages are also obvious. Camels'' habits also have a great impact. Camels'' running speed is much lower than that of horses, and camels'' body moves at the same time when running, so their body will shake left and right. The combination of the two will not only cause limited impact of camel cavalry when charging, but also make it difficult for riders to ride in the whole of camels A large amount of physical activity during a sprint.


    Another defect of camels is that their necks are slender and their muscles are softer than those of horses. Therefore, when camel cavalry encounter infantry melee, camels with slow running speed are more likely to be killed by infantry from the front. At the same time, the docile character of camels makes them have a "desert boat" However, on the battlefield, it is difficult for them to collide and kick the enemy under the command of riders like horses.


    The reason why kharka told Chechen that there were camels in ah Yuqi''s army was actually uneasy and kind. He was misleading Chechen and making Chechen mistakenly think that Kalmyk camels were used to attack.


    After listening to the words of Khalkha and Isak patriarch, Chechen vaguely felt a little different, but he couldn''t tell where this feeling came from.


    At this time, kalka complimented: "but Lord bey, your army is infantry, and those turhute camel cavalry can''t use the means to restrain the cavalry. Maybe you and your men can eat a delicious camel meat after the battle."


    With that, kalka and Isak clan leader laughed together.


    Kalka''s words brightened Cherchen''s mind like a flash of lightning. He finally figured out where his strange feeling came from.


    Kalkha calls Kalmyk turgots, while in assu, all people call him Kalmyk, from saijetbei to the patriarch of Isak.


    If the turgots were karmec''s self proclaimed, the title would only be used by those who were used to being commensurate with them. This means that kharka is not the messenger of sajetbei, but the Kalmyk sent to lure themselves into the siege. And it is very likely that sajetbei was not surrounded, but was destroyed like karazimir.


    The more he thought about it, the more frightened Che Chen deliberately slowed down his horse speed. He tried to keep his face as before so as not to let kharka see the abnormality.


    "You two, I''m in a hurry. Go and make it convenient," said Chechen.


    With that, Chechen stopped and jumped off his horse, ran to one side and pretended to untie his pants.


    When yelishei in the back team passed by Chechen, Chechen shouted at him.


    "Yelishei, lend me your water bag."


    Yelisheyi took the water bag and went to Cherchen. As soon as he unscrewed the lid, Cherchen quietly leaned close to yelisheyi''s ear and said, "I doubt that kalka was sent by Kalmyk."


    This frightened yelishei, and the water bag in his hand almost fell to the ground.


    Chechen hurriedly took yelishei''s hand.


    "Keep quiet."


    "Captain, are you sure?" yelishei asked anxiously.


    "I''m sure. You''ll come with me later. You knocked that guy out quietly. Do you understand?"


    Yelishei nodded.


    Chechen lifted his pants. He pretended to talk and laugh with elishey and caught up with kalka and Isaac.


    "How comfortable!" Chechen pretended to be very comfortable after he finished.


    "Bey,"


    Asak patriarch was about to talk and laugh with Cherchen, but he saw that yelisheyi behind Cherchen suddenly raised the page hammer and threw it at the unsuspecting kalka''s head.


    Suddenly, kalka fell to the ground like a broken sack.


    "Bey, are you?" Isaac''s voice trembled. He didn''t expect that Chechen, who said he was smiling, would suddenly start to fight kharka.


    At this time, yelishei, who jumped off his horse and tried to breathe in kharka, said, "don''t worry, captain. He''s still alive. I know the weight."


    After hearing this, Chechen said to Isaac, "patriarch, I suspect this man is a spy sent by the Kalmyk people."
