Although only fourteen years old, Osman returned to his father’s tents in the Valley of the Nine-Toothed Comb not only as a seasonal gang member but also as the successor of the most famous guerrilla leader of the time.
During Böke Batur’s eighteen months of training, he learned to gallop a horse, shoot a rifle, and load and unload a gun while taming and reining in his horse with his upper body and legs.
After the signal to retreat was given, he could turn around in his saddle at full angle to fire at his pursuers while galloping.
