All five artillery guns were successfully tested!

Of course, this is just a small test. This time, we will follow the test and see the test launch. Sang Kun, the master craftsman of the Khanate, will stay here and continue to debug various artillery with the soldiers. If a problem is found, it will be adjusted in the pilot workshop in Magal City.

Then I pulled it to the military camp of the Kaiwei Brigade for a test firing. After several cycles, the materials, processes, costs, etc. of the artillery can be determined. Finally, the parameters are taken out before I go to the artillery workshop in Stavropol for the final batch manufacturing.

Even so, I saw that five cannons with different uses can be successful in the small test at one time. Now, with rich experience, Qitade knows that he is not far from the final success.

The Hussars were not idle when the Dragoons launched their cannon test firing.

After owning the new rifle, Qitad has improved it in the past three years. The original one that could only load one copper shell bullet at a time has now grown to three, and the bolts can be used to push the bullet.

Of course, this kind of gun is much more complicated than before, and it is currently only equipped with a personal guard brigade.

And the paper-shelled Minnie bullet that can be fired six times has evolved into copper-shelled bullets. In this way, the probability of being fired effectively will be higher and the loading will be easier.

Of course, the production of copper-shelled bullets is still not easy for the Khanate, which already has various steam engines and evolves various machine tools, and requires a lot of resources to be invested.

At present, this kind of pistol is only equipped with the personal guard brigade.

With three consecutive new rifles (each firing requires a bolt to send the next bullet to the impact position), it would be a waste to use the Hussar as a cavalry.

In Qitad's heart, the ultimate evolutionary goal of his army was the modern army in later generations, and the cavalry was only used as an auxiliary.

So, an infantryman that could maneuver quickly flashed into his mind. The marching was still too far away, but the new infantryman that was mule and horse was already in front of him.

Therefore, the current daily training subjects of the two thousand Hussars have changed from cavalry training as the main one and infantry training as the auxiliary one to cavalry, and infantry training is of equal importance.

Quickly maneuver to a certain place, set a position, and then attack or block the enemy, or quickly support it. This is what the Truchen Army looks like.

To achieve this goal, the choice of an officer is very important.

At present, the commanders of these two Hussar regiments are one of Kang Xiaozi, and the other is after graduating from school at the age of fifteen. Due to his excellent grades, he chose to join the army and served for many years.

In original history, when Vobasi returned to the east, because his tribe was still on the west bank of the Volga River, he could only stay in place, and his family became one of the leaders of the later Kalmyk Republic.

Most of the people who can leave their names in history are quite capable, and Assal is one of them.

He is five years younger than Qitad and twenty-four years old this year, but has been in the army for eight years.

As a Turkut, Taiji was skilled in natural equestrianism. After five years of school influence, he mastered modern army knowledge. He was obviously an excellent candidate to lead the new Hussar.

Unlike the traditional stout Turkuts with a sturdy body and a slim face, Asar is a man with a slender figure.

While Chitard was testing those new cannons, he was practicing rifle shooting, horseback pistol shooting, bayonet fighting and other operations.

They started this training in January this year and have been three months so far.

Although the Khanate's industrial strength is much stronger than other countries, it was saturated training in the first three months, and then it was standard training, because the Khanate did not have enough financial resources to support them in live-fire training for too long.

However, Qitad would not let them be too leisurely.

While Assal was in charge of the Hussar's training, Qitad came with his personal soldiers.

"Saturation training stops immediately, prepare one month's ammunition, food, one person and two horses, and set off in three days!"

Asar didn't dare to ask where he went, so he had to give instructions immediately.

....

Three days later, Qitade asked Kang Xiaozi to stay in Magar City with five hundred dragon cavalry to continue practicing artillery, and personally led one and a half regiments to set out south by Asar.

A few days ago, he got a news.

"After Rafael arrived in East Azerbaijan successfully, it was very smooth at the beginning. In a few months, he helped Diaz unify East Azerbaijan, and then killed the chiefs and their confidants of the five major tribes in East Azerbaijan, including Diaz, at a celebration meeting"

"At the same time, it also forced the Baku Kurdish leaders to agree to Bayar's conditions. They gave up Baku and brought most of their tribes into Persia through East Azerbaijan. They are still on the way to surrender to Shiraz Karim Khan"

"But this incident attracted the attention of the Governor of Tabriz, the Persian state. He obviously understood the situation in East Azerbaijan and was very vigilant about Armenian Christian nobles like Raphael returning to Azerbaijan"

"So he invaded Azerbaijan. At the beginning, Paul's brigade was stationed everywhere, and the Governor of Tabriz came with cavalry and Kurds. He soon went deep into various parts of Eastern Azerbaijan. At present, the people of Barro can only rely on various castles and villages to defend"

Qitad obviously wouldn't be convinced so easily.

He knew very well that this matter might not be related to his strategy.

He asked Raphael to kill Diaz after assisting him in unifying East Azerbaijan. I am afraid that this is the main reason for the chaos within East Azerbaijan and the Persian invasion.

But then again, he doesn't have much time to deal with the troubles of the land outside the country, so he can only cut the mess quickly.

At this time, Azerbaijan was divided into dozens of small countries, and there were extremely many tribes within it. If its nobles were not eliminated, it would be almost impossible to occupy this place safely.

But if he sat there and watched the Persians come to this land again, he would not tolerate it.

He has never officially fought with the Persians. If he wants to gain a place in the future game of great powers, legends alone will not work. He must see the real chapter!

Before coming, he asked the messenger.

"The incident in East Azerbaijan has not attracted the covetousness of the Georgians?"

"Of course there are, but when the Persians came in, they retreated"

"I'm going to sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight"

....

Two thousand five hundred cavalry and five thousand war horses galloped on the road on the west coast of the Caspian Sea and soon arrived near Makhachkara.

Here, he actually met Benjit, the chief of the Aval people!

As soon as he saw him, Qitad understood in his heart.

"Is the Chechens' guerrilla warfare so powerful? Even Benjit, who was huddled in the castle, ran back to Makhachkara?"

"Sweat..."

After seeing Benjit's expression, Qitad knew that he had something to say to him, so he didn't say much. He asked the army to rest outside and followed him into Makhachkara City with a hundred cavalry.

Although it was not the first time I came to this largest city on the west coast of the Caspian Sea (also above Astrakhan), Qitad couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion.

The city was built during the Khanate of Xhosa. The exterior walls were all made of thick, neatly cut marble. Later, after the war between the Mongols, it was restored by Badu Khan. In winter, Badu Khan often came here to spend the winter.

The thickness of the city wall is more than one meter and is within a radius of eight miles. Even the buildings in the city are made of marble. Whether from the Caucasus Mountain or on the Caspian Sea, from a distance, they are a huge white city.

The construction of the Xhosa obviously followed the former capital of Constantinople (Istanbul), because Constantinople was always under the threat of the powerful Ottoman Empire and the endless threat of pirates in the Mediterranean, and the city walls were built extremely tall and thick.

In such a city, I don’t know if its thirty-pound cannon can be blown away?

In Benjit's mansion, the guest and the guest exchanged a little greeting and got to the point.

"Sweat"

"Is Grozny unable to stay?"

"The Khan clearly saw that it was true, so I ask the Khan to send troops into the mountains to wipe out those hateful Chechens!"

"Haha, as far as I know, except for the Eagle-billed Cliff area, the Caucasus Mountain behind Grozny is very steep, and the mountains in other places are not steep. It is said that they are easy to find."

"Although this is the case, after crossing the ridge, it is at least a few hundred miles south, with countless hills of all sizes, and it is almost impossible to find them one by one."

"Then you should have some gains"

"Of course there is"

"We were wrong. We only considered the Chechens, but did not consider that there were still a large number of Lezkins and Kupchaks on the mountain. They joined them under the bewitchment of the old people in the mountain, which made us unable to defend ourselves"

"Then you should always get where they are distributed and how many people are there"

"Khan, according to my estimate, there are only more than 5,000 Chechens in the mountains, but there are at least 20,000 households in the Lezkins and Kupchaks in total"

"Then you didn't think about it. Since they had the advantage of the number of people, why did they obey the command of Chechens with a smaller number?"

"This... maybe it's because the old man in the mountains is good at bewitching people's hearts, or the Chechens are good at fighting..."

"How is it possible? They are all tribes in the mountains and can reproduce to more than 20,000 households. How can they be good at it? Let me tell you the truth. The Chechens's Maulla Mansour did not die before, he was on the mountain!"

"Ah?!"

Benjit was shocked and immediately understood why it was so difficult to conquer. Mansour once studied the classics in Mecca for five years, and also accepted the title of Persian emperor and Ottoman Sultan. He was known as the Eastern Caucasus Mountain Mullah. This is why they were able to command the entire Eastern Caucasus Mountain tribes with a remnant of only 5,000 people.

The worse the environment is, the more fanaticism about religion is. The Lezkins and the Kupchaks are no exception.

Qitad looked at him coldly, "What are your plans now?"

"Khan, whether your country sends troops or our troops evacuate Grozny, we... can't hold on"

"How many people are there near Grozny right now?"

"Asus and I moved 15,000 households there. After a few years, half of them ran back. In addition, those who were attacked by the Chechens, there are only more than 10,000 households left, all around the city of Grozny"

"There are more than 30,000 Chechens. At that time, we were afraid that we could not suppress them, so we killed all the young and strong people and paired them with our tribe, the Darkin tribe, and some Azerbaijanis who fled to our country"

Qitade didn't agree, "Have you heard of the situation in Baku?"

Bangit's expression frightened, "I heard that the Kurdish leader of Baku has defected to Persia. The land has been occupied by the Truchens. Could it be that they are also here?"

"That's right", Qitad admitted this matter openly, "It was Ben Khan who asked them to go to Persia. In this way, you should consider your situation carefully when you are in the north, in the south, and in the mountains."
