(Ahem, I blushed. There was a big mistake in the last chapter. Prince Ahmed seemed to have been killed earlier and was given to the Ottoman Emperor. I actually forgot about this. It’s really
Ashamed, ashamed ~ So change Ahmed in the above text to Prince Selim)
"Woo~"
On the Dabiq grassland, accompanied by howls, Egypt took the lead in launching an attack.
The army of 150,000 Mamluk feudal lords and nobles who were in the forward position immediately divided into three groups, and fiercely attacked the Ottoman Empire army like three sharp swords.
These traditional Mamluk feudal lords and military aristocrats are mainly divided into two types of troops. One is cavalry, but only big lords and nobles can have the qualified funds and financial resources to arm cavalry.
The other type is infantry. Infantry is relatively simple, much easier, and consumes less money, so it accounts for the vast majority. Among the 150,000 troops, 120,000 are infantry, and only 30,000 cavalry.
.
These 30,000 cavalry are all in the hands of Dur and Karawin. They are the two largest and most powerful feudal military nobles and lords. They also have the largest fiefdom and the largest population.
Relying on the 30,000 cavalry in their hands, the two of them have always firmly grasped the important say in Egypt. Even Kansu II never dared to touch them at all, because with 30,000 cavalry, they were completely
Able to overthrow the rule of Kansu II.
At this moment, three armies were charging towards the Ottoman Empire army. However, an extremely strange scene occurred. Thirty thousand cavalry were riding horses, but their speed was not as fast as the infantry.

When the 120,000 infantry army was already fighting with the Ottoman Empire army, the 30,000 cavalry troops were still dawdling behind, instead of sprinting as quickly as they planned to tear through the Ottoman Empire army's front line.
"What do Durr and Karawin want to do?"
Kansu II, who saw this scene through the telescope, couldn't help but curse.
At this juncture, the two of them were dawdling around and did not follow the original battle plan to attack the Ottoman Empire's army camp.
Without the charging power of the cavalry, the infantry alone was simply not enough to open the gap and tear apart the defense line. At this moment, just after the battle, the 120,000 infantrymen were already in a difficult situation.
The Ottoman army relied on infantry to resist the impact, while the light cavalry on both wings began to exert force.
The light cavalry relied on speed to quickly move around on the two wings, shooting arrows as they moved. After each wave of attacks, they quickly circled back, as if there were large circular saws on the wings, constantly cutting and rubbing away their own legions.
.
At the same time, on the frontal battlefield, the heavy cavalry regiments from Europe, each wearing thick armor and riding tall horses well protected by armor, began to attack frontally, preparing to tear apart the defense line of the 120,000 troops in one fell swoop, and then divide the twelve families.
, cannibalize.
"Ma Dan, Duer and Karawen, I will definitely kill you two later."
Seeing this scene, Kansu II's eyes turned red and he wished he could kill them both right now.
Seeing these 120,000 infantrymen being torn apart and strangled by the Ottoman army, the cavalry led by the two of them were still watching the fun leisurely, with no intention of helping.
Originally, 30,000 cavalry and 120,000 infantry were enough to compete with the Ottoman Empire's armies. However, at this moment, the battle situation turned out to be one-sided.
Without the impact and cover of cavalry, relying solely on infantry, and facing the Ottoman Empire's army sweeping across Europe and Asia, it was no different from delivering food.
The heavy cavalry attacked in the middle and opened a gap. The light cavalry on both wings continued to fire in roundabouts. Coupled with the advance of the infantry, the Ottoman Empire continued to massacre the Egyptian infantry despite only having a population of 120,000.
120,000 steps, we are facing an extremely embarrassing situation at this moment. We have been killed in a mess. Countless people are crying for their fathers and mothers. Some people are shouting curses, some are scolding Karawen and Duer, and some are scolding.
of Cansu II.
And soon, with the fierce offensive of the Ottoman Empire army, they began to completely collapse, like a piece of loose sand, trying to escape in all directions.
"Haha, Prime Minister, you are so powerful. You easily ate up the Egyptian army of 120,000 men without any effort."
Selim looked at the scene in front of him and immediately laughed happily. He had swallowed up the 120,000 Egyptian army so easily, and the remaining 200,000 newly armed peasant army was not a problem.
The only thing that has a headache is the 30,000 musketeers in the hands of Kansu II, but the number is very small, and when the time comes, they will be chewed away even if they are hard.
What's more, I also brought 30,000 musketeers this time. Even if it was an ace versus an ace, I would definitely win.
"Your Highness, thank you~"
Ali Pasha replied modestly.
"Durr and Karawen have long been dissatisfied with Kansu II. I just took advantage of it and made them some empty promises."
"After we actually conquer Egypt, they will have no room for bargaining. Now they are watching the show from the sidelines and are not attacking according to our requirements. Obviously they want to retain their own strength."
"They also want to share the benefits of the Egyptian canal. They are simply wishful thinking."
Then, Ali Pasha looked at the 30,000 cavalry troops of Dur and Karawin who were watching the excitement, and he also sneered.
The two people who instigated the rebellion did not put any thought or trouble at all. They just promised to guarantee their status and fiefdom, and promised that after the Ottoman Empire obtained the Egyptian canal, they would share the proceeds of the Egyptian canal with them. In this way, these two people were easily
The people betrayed Kansu II.
"We'll take care of them later."
Selim also laughed when he heard this.
On the other side, Durr and Karawin were riding on tall horses, watching the Ottoman army constantly eating away at the Egyptian infantry, with no expressions on their faces.
They could all see where some old friends were cursing heaven and earth and angrily cursing themselves. They could also see the furious Cansu II in the rear, leading a new army to save the 120,000 besieged infantry.
To be honest, they felt uncomfortable watching their own people being slaughtered.
But thinking about Kansu II's desire to take back his fiefdom and army, and the amazing profits from the Egyptian canal, the two of them finally chose to betray Egypt, betray Kansu II, and led their 30,000 cavalry to quietly stand aside.
to watch the excitement.
"You said that the Ottoman Empire promised us the conditions, will they honor them?"
After a long time, Duer asked Karawen beside him.
"Yes, don't worry. The Ottoman Empire spans Europe and Asia not only by its strength, but also by its credibility. Countless people who have defected to the Ottoman Empire have been reused and rewarded. Have you seen those European heavy cavalry?"
"Many of them are actually Europeans. They were former knights of the Teutonic Knights and the Knights Hospitaller. These heavy cavalry were trained and led by them."
"This is enough to show that the Ottoman Empire will keep its promise. In the future, our fiefdom can be doubled and we can enjoy the huge benefits brought by the Egyptian Canal every year."
"Besides, we have 30,000 cavalry in our hands. Whether it is Kansu II or the Ottoman Empire, as long as we have soldiers and food in our hands, they will be afraid of us and dare not do anything to us."
Karawen replied confidently. In fact, he had no bottom in his heart, but he had already reached this point without turning back, so he could only continue walking in darkness.
The fighting continues, with corpses strewn across the grassland and rivers of blood flowing.
The panicked 120,000 infantrymen were like lambs waiting to be slaughtered, being slaughtered by the Ottoman army at a terrifying speed. At the same time, the Ottoman army began to take prisoners.
While attacking the Egyptian army's front line, they were also shouting slogans such as "surrender without killing, surrender without death".
Such conditions were obviously very tempting for the Egyptian infantry who were on the verge of collapse. A large number of infantry began to put down their weapons and stood there with their hands raised.
Then he was quickly tied up by the Ottoman Empire soldiers. These Ottoman Empire soldiers laughed happily while being tied up. There were even some disputes between some small groups over snatching the prisoners.
In order to capture more soldiers, some Ottoman soldiers even dropped ropes and asked these Egyptian soldiers to tie themselves. They did not have time to tie you slowly. Their eyes were red, looking at these Egyptian infantrymen.
It was like seeing gold.
Kansu II in the rear was so anxious that he brought his 30,000 ace musketeers and 20 newly armed peasant troops to attack, hoping to rescue the surrounded infantry.
"Haha, these newly armed peasant armies are just here to deliver food. 200,000. This one sells for 10 taels of silver, so that's 2 million taels of silver."
Seeing the new Egyptian army rushing towards them, everyone in the Ottoman Empire was even more happy, and they excitedly attacked these new armies.
