Ok I said id take over this weeks submission so here it is.
Submission for week three.
The convoy to china and Russian goes on as planned. The spy convoy does aswel.
We count the livestock,trade goods and any weaponry differing from the norm(anything like a mortar/artillery/ something that we assume is not near infinite) we got from each tribe(something we would like to know every time we gain such a thing)
The warriors that decided to fight us and survived will be given the offer to join our army for the freedom of their wives and children(We will put a hard cap of 150 of the 200 to be sent this way(i suspect no more than 75-100 to be direct relatives due to the amount killed but best to put a hard cap on these things)) and to be resettled with them at the end of our reunification with adequate slaves and livestock.(this isn't a trick btw its a very old tactic and it works as long as you don't break your word) The two tribes that joined us will be given the lands of the one that did not and 80% of the remaining slaves(assuming they use them if not they are given to either to tribe that does) and any livestock captured with the stipulation that 60 of their men join the army each. The other 20% of livestock and slaves with be given to the military commanders(10%) and solders who showed exceptional bravery or skill(lets make them happy and give the solders something to aspire to).
That should make both our troops happy and give the new acquisitions something to look forward to.
Our next move is to send scout balloons back along our supply lines as well as along our border to these factions who seem to oppose us with bamboo poles hollowed out with rocket flares if they see the enemy in numbers more threatening then our forces left at home can deal with gathering(they can see quite far so we should be able to move a response) they send off a flare in the direction of the forces if the flare is too far away from the main force for us to see it a balloon that can will also use the flare in the direction of the balloon who sent the first this will continue to relay until it reaches the main army where it will be processed(for next week). Local forces will be reinforced with forces further inside the khanate with orders to prepare a defence and lay down caltrops(ill post about these in the weapons topic just in case) in all passages between the border/supply line and the enemy gathering. If the enemy spends no time staging their forces and attacks(staging is required for a large force) then the local forces should either destroy or delay the enemy force if destruction of either side happens news should be sent to the main force as soon as possible.
The main force however will advance with scouts with balloons scouting the general area and groups of 6-8 scouts going in after to look for traps/chose the best way for the army to advance. The army will stop before either a large force, a settlement. Upon seeing either the main force will stop and make defences by setting caltrops to the side and behind the camp about 40-50 meters outside camp. Setting of caltrops will be done under the cover of night on the first night of camp and scout balloons will remain under constant rotation looking for troop movements and at night campfires and torches. If there is sufficient wood around(if we are in or near a Forrest at time of setting camp) then campfires will be build around our perimeter at night at 75 meters from our perimeter with a 10-20 percent overlap of light(the fire will scare animals both wild and those not trained for war and allow us to see any movement in that area).
In the khanate the khan(or his regent if we went with the army) will announce our first victory of many to the tribes with stories depicting our solders bravery and skill being of an almost superhuman level. A General has sent men to seek out those of quick wit and those in the art of subterfuge in both the slaves/serfs and tribesmen for the sapper corps he offers increased standing(and citizenship if they do not already have it) as well as great rewards if they will serve in the corps. Anyone recruited this way will be sent to the generals camp where they will be tested for their skills, bravery and loyalty. any of those that they lack will either be trained into them or they will be sent back to their previous duty's if they lack two of three of those.
I am very sorry admin i know my writing isnt that easy writing isnt my strong suit and i have a tendacy to ramble.
