Chapter 931 Bedouin Alliance

With the camel caravan, several messengers walked out from the city of Taixi and headed towards Beirut to the west. After repeated consideration, Feng Yu finally decided to send a messenger to contact Alexander and recognize him as the Roman emperor.

One of the reasons why Feng Yu made this decision was to have Alexander send troops from the Isthmus of Suez to the Great Desert and to fight against a small number of Bedouin tribes living in the northwest corner of the Bedouin Desert.

The clear red and yellow desert and the blue sea are mixed with a green shade. This is the Port of Jieda on the east coast of the Red Sea. It is more than 2,000 miles away from the Isthmus of Suez and is the only oasis on this section of the Red Sea coastline. At present, it has been occupied by the Liang army like the other oasis in the middle of the Bedouin Desert.

At this time, the port of Jada was filled with unique galleys and sailboats in the Aksum Kingdom on the other side. The land was filled with black people, a small number of them were Liang's army, while the rest were thousands of people were dark-skinned people. They were all slaves enslaved by the Bedouin tribe, and were rescued after the Liang army's northern prefecture army swept the northern part of the Bedouin Desert.

A gorgeously dressed Aksum official walked off the ship surrounded by his escorts. The Liang army general who had been waiting on the dock immediately greeted him. After a polite diplomatic remarks between the two sides, they turned to the point. The Liang army unconditionally returned the rescued slaves to the Kingdom of Aksum.

The Aksum officials also told the king's attitude to the Liang army. Aksum's national strength was limited, so he could not agree to Feng Yu's request - to send troops to assist the Liang army in attacking the various Bedouin tribes in the southeast of the desert. However, they were willing to send troops to assist the Liang army in garrisoning Jieda Port and prevent the Bedouin people from heading north along the east coast of the Red Sea. In fact, Feng Yu did not expect the Aksum people to help. As long as they defend Jieda Port for the Liang army, Feng Yu could be satisfied.

...

On the southern coast of the eastern Persian Gulf, there is a huge peninsula shaped like rhino horns deep into the sea. The northernmost end is only less than 200 miles away from the Persian area on the other side, and it divides the entire bay into two. The bay in the east is in a trumpet-shaped manner and is called the East Bay. The roots of this peninsula are six or seven hundred miles wide, and each wing has a port Abu Dhabi and Master. In fact, these two are not ports, but rather fishing villages with freshwater sources.

Their land used to live with the Bedouin tribe, which was made by fishing as its side business and pirates as its main business, but now they have been wiped out by the Liang army. At present, the sea near them is covered with Liang army's large and small warships. They are constantly unloading troops to the shore. The camp tents and horse circles on the shore have been connected to the sky and the earth, extending an oasis, appearing on the long yellow sand in the distance.

Some of the Hu cavalry of the Beifu Army who had just landed were panting and vomiting, which was a symptom of their seasickness. They were talking while spitting out, and some of them had already started complaining:

"Damn, I will never take this ghost ship again. This mom is even more uncomfortable than exploring her heart."

"Can we not sit? When we finish the war, we have to take a boat when we go back. Otherwise we will have to travel through the desert thousands of miles, would you like?"

"I would rather be thirsty and tired than take this hustle boat. If I had known, I would not have signed up."

"This is nonsense. I don't know how much gold and silver you have made this trip? If you really want you to choose again, how can you not come?"

"I've said it all. We don't have to walk thousands of miles of desert when we go back, but we still have to take a boat. But we don't have to take a boat as far as this time. We only take two or three hours to the other side of the sea, then ride a horse across a plateau and go to the edge of the salty sea, and then go to our grassland, and then go back to our homes."

When they were talking, fifty battles later, a lizard squatting on a small sand dune suddenly crawled away quickly. Then the sand dune started to move and cracked. It turned out that the sand dune was actually just a person covered with yellow sand.

The Bedouin scout had been lurking here for a day and a night, and now it was time for him to go back to report his life. His superb invisibility skills prevented him from being discovered by Liang Jun from beginning to end.

He ran two miles deep into the desert, found several accomplices and camels hiding behind a sand dune, and rode the camels and left quickly.

When he rushed into the big tent in the Oasis of Ipula, Said, Sabir and a group of heads of the Bedouin Tribe Alliance were discussing matters in the tent.

Said gathered the heads of the tribal alliance in almost all the southern part of the Bedouin Desert and the chiefs of independent tribes. The chiefs of each tribal chiefs brought selected troops to gather in the oasis cluster centered on the southeast corner of the Bedouin Desert and with Ipra as the center.

At this time, the chiefs and chiefs had completed the first step of the negotiation and selected Said as the leader of the Bedouin Anti-Liberation Alliance this time. They were discussing what strategy to use to fight against the Liang army. However, the scout leader interrupted the conversation.

The scout leader reported: "Report to all chiefs, after our reconnaissance these few days, the main assembly sites of the Liang army are in Abu Dhabi and Mast. Their camps are connected to the sky and earth, and they are constantly unloading people and horses from the ships. The troops that have landed now have nearly 200,000 people..."

After the scout finished explaining the information of Liang's army in detail, a tribe chief suggested: "Since they are still landing, we should gather troops to rush over and kill the Liang army that has already landed or drive them out of the sea. Otherwise, if all their millions of troops landed, we will not be able to defeat them."

This suggestion was immediately rejected by Sabir, who said: "They have landed nearly 200,000 troops. We gathered forces to attack hard, which is tantamount to hitting stones with eggs. Although most of their combat cavalry are not much different from our combat power, some of them have much more combat power than us. In the north, they have had more than ten cavalry to defeat a tribe."

The small part of the combat power that Sabir mentioned refers to the regular troops of the Northern Mansion Army, rather than the grassland Huqi who were summoned by Feng Yu to rob.

When the chiefs heard this, they were stunned and said, "Then we will use the old method of dealing with the Persians. We will break the troops into pieces and divide them into countless small units to intersperse and harass them. Their army came, and we retreated, and then continued to attack their rear and the baggage troops. Or gather troops at a specific time and defeat them one by one."

Sabir continued to wave his hand and deny it: "This method was tried by our northern tribes when they fought against them a few days ago. It was useless. They were dozens or millions of cavalry, and they would spread the ground and go in unison. After capturing the oasis, they did not leave immediately, but waited for their friendly forces to occupy some oasis ahead before moving forward again. We had no chance to intersperse without drinking water. Unless we could travel five or six hundred miles in the desert without drinking water. As for our gathering of troops to defeat them one by one, we were even more talking to each other. You don't know how powerful their scouts were. We really gathered a large army, and at first they might kill three or four or more of their small troops, but then they would inevitably quickly gather a large army to siege us."
