two hundred and twenty seven

Many of us must think that after these Mamluks are bought, their lives will be very miserable. In fact, this is not the case, because the Arab nobles currently buy back these strong slaves for future wars, and basically

They are all boys, almost no girls, so the life of these very young slaves is pretty good at this time, let's take a look.

As we said before, these little Mamluks must first enter the military school, and after entering the military school, they must first learn Arabic. Everyone will be shocked when you see this. They actually teach writing knowledge to slaves? In fact,

This is not the case, because the Arab military schools currently use a concept of managing the country, which is also the same concept as the Christian church. Therefore, all the knowledge given to these children has been carefully screened and given to them.

Instill the idea of ​​absolute loyalty to the master. This is why Arabs like these children, because children's minds are not mature yet, unlike adults, they can be educated and shaped from an early age.

When the Mamluks reached the age of fourteen, they began military training. The process was also relatively difficult. They had to be proficient in using scimitars, spears and horseback archery. Among them, horseback riding and archery were the most valued.

Yes, after all, this is long-distance combat, and the Arabs educate them just to fight. We can also understand that in our modern era, this is like training a group of killers who are loyal to their masters since childhood.

.

Anyway, the Mamluks grew up in such an environment. They had no shortage of food, decent clothing, and all the education they received was beneficial to their masters. So although the Mamluks

Luke is a slave, but their masters value them very much! This is actually not difficult to understand at all, because the Mamluks have been trained in military management since childhood, which is better than the average Arab soldiers

They are many times more powerful and have to be respected by their masters.

How important are they? In fact, we have also said that the Mamluks are slaves. But the Mamluk generals can even serve as senior officials in the Arab Empire! What kind of concept is this? Or do we

It can be understood that some Arab nobles, for their own benefit and even for other reasons, can be very good to the slaves! Although the Mamluks were still pawns of the nobles even if they became high-ranking officials, they themselves

The standard of living has definitely been improved. We can also think about it. In this era, there are constant wars everywhere, civilians are starving to death everywhere, crying and despair are everywhere, etc. In such an era

In this world, you don't know if you will die in the next second, but these children who were resold as slaves can still have enough food and clothing, and the outstanding ones can get a certain degree of power. This is actually outrageous.

Moreover, the Mamluks have always received very good education. On the contrary, the Arab nobles and even high-level officials used these Mamluks to attack other countries. This resulted in the Arabs massacring many people from other countries.

, but it also brought more resources, land, and even more slaves to the Arabs. Therefore, at this time, the Arab senior leaders did not need to fight their own wars anyway, they only needed to cultivate the Mamluks. At this point, the Arab senior leaders

A very comfortable life began to appear, and eventually evolved into a state of extravagance, lust, and excessive debauchery.

However, the strength of the Mamluks became stronger and stronger from generation to generation. Around the 13th century, Saladin established the Ayyubid Dynasty in Egypt. However, as we have said before, the Arab high-level officials began to indulge in extravagance and debauchery.

They were too immodest, so they no longer studied or conducted military training. This led to the Arab nobles and even high-level people, whose descendants were inferior to each other from generation to generation.

In 1250, the Mamluk general was a Turk named Ayibak. Because he now had great power, he also commanded many armies, and most of these armies were

It was composed of Mamluks, so he usurped the throne, and then established the Mamluk dynasty in Egypt. At this point, everyone can see that the current Mamluks can be said to have passed through high-quality

Knowledge inheritance, and even military training, can now build their own country. This is completely different from civilians, because managing a country is a big science. Children of civilians have not received knowledge and education at all, and they cannot do this kind of thing at all.

Come on, I wouldn't even imagine such a thing.

In 1285, Hulagu of the Mongolian army led their Mongolian Western Expedition and first occupied Baghdad. Because at this time, the Arab high-ranking officials and nobles were already decadent, and they only knew about extravagance and lust all day long.

There was so much dissoluteness that the entire Arab Empire had long lost the stability of the past. It was originally turbulent and inconsistent, and the quality of the Arabs' own army was too poor! In the end, the Mongolian army successfully occupied Baghdad.

Then this led to the destruction of the once magnificent Arab Empire! The Arabs who were not killed, whether they were civilians, nobles or high-level officials, became slaves of the Mongols, working day and night without enough food or clothing. Arabs

The glory of man is gone forever. Another thing is that the Mongols did not treat their slaves very well. Although they were not like the Romans who treated their slaves, that is, they treated the so-called talking tools. But the Mongols are not necessarily the same. This is better than the Romans.

How good is the treatment of slaves?

So at this time, another situation occurred. The Mamluk dynasty of Egypt became the last main force in the Arab world to resist the invasion of the Mongol army! But the Mongolian army could not quickly defeat the Mamluk dynasty's army.

, because we have analyzed the Mamluk dynasty’s army before. Most of them have received very strict military training and are not ordinary civilians at all. To put it bluntly, they are actually a group of very regular troops, even

It can be said that they are just a group of killing machines trained since childhood.

It is precisely because of this situation that the cavalry of the Mongolian army also suffered numerous casualties. We must understand that the most important thing for the Mamluks is that they were trained in riding and archery skills. This is definitely not a joke. So the Mamluks

The regular army of the dynasty still gave the Mongolian army a headache and suffered heavy casualties!

But at the same time when the Mongol army was also struggling, within the Mongol Empire, Kublai Khan and Alibaba fought for the throne, and a very huge war broke out. This meant that the Mongol Empire was very turbulent at this time.

It even took a big step. Countless Mongolian warriors died in this battle for the throne. This also weakened the strength of the entire Mongol Empire in disguise. Another one is that Hulagu, who is currently fighting the Mamluks,

In order to lend a helping hand to Kublai Khan, he hurriedly led the Mongolian army back to the Mongol Empire. When Hulagu left, he left behind a timid general and a total of more than 20,000 Mongolian troops to guard Damascus.

In August 1260, Egypt's Mamluk Sultan Khuddus led a 120,000 Mamluk army from Egypt, preparing for a decisive battle with the Mongolian army! By September,

The 120,000 Mamluk army led by Kudusi met the Mongolian army led by the cowardly Buhua at Ain Jarul in northern Palestine.

Although the Mongolian general was very timid at this time, and his army could not compare with the Mamluk army in numbers, he was not afraid at all. For so many years, their Mongolian army was sure to win every battle and attack.

Damn, so many countries have been destroyed that I can’t even count them, so unknowingly, those who were timid became arrogant and underestimated the enemy.

This is entirely because the timid Buhua did not understand the nature of the Mamluk army at all. If he had understood it, he probably would not underestimate the enemy so much, because the timid Buhua always believed that the Mamluk army was the same as the one they encountered before.

They have the same nature as those armies, they are easy to attack, and they can kill a large area with just one kill.

Therefore, after the two armies met, after a relatively short battle, the casualties were not very serious, or there were not too many casualties at all. It seemed that both sides were testing each other's methods, and at this time Mamulu

The Mongolian cavalry suddenly began to retreat quickly and in an orderly manner. The Mongols did not know that this was actually a trick, so the Mongols thought it was because the Mamluks were timid and frightened, so the Mongols

The army pursued the Mamluk army relentlessly, and also attempted to win a quick victory.

In this unconscious pursuit, the Mamluk cavalry lured the Mongolian army into a valley. At this time, the Mongolian army, which underestimated the enemy, did not realize at all that they had actually entered the opponent's encirclement.

It was at this time that the Mamluk cavalry suddenly stopped retreating and, in a short period of time, formed a line six kilometers long, thick in the middle and thin on the sides.

In the formation, the Mamluk Sultan Hudusi was riding a horse in the middle to command. At this time, the Mamluk army ambush on both sides of the valley also swarmed out, and all of a sudden they were facing

The Mongolian army formed an encirclement on three sides.

At this time, the Mongolian army woke up and realized that they had been surrounded. The entire Mongolian army immediately panicked. The timid Buhua was worthy of being a veteran general in the battlefield. He immediately ordered the Mongolian army to divide into two groups and start
