...

The Chinese army's eastward expedition was divided into three directions.

The northern route is to cross the Caucasus between the Caspian Sea and the Black Sea in the west, penetrate into Russia, and attack the Turkic Polovqi people. This route is led by Yue Fei.

The middle route is to eliminate the Crusader countries, and then cross the strait to attack Bulgaria on an Arab ship. This route is led by Liu Kai.

The last route to the south was to pass through Egypt, then capture Libya and Tunisia, and then cross the strait on an Arab ship to directly attack Constantinople, the capital of the Byzantine Empire. This route was led by Li Yan himself.

Let's not talk about the first two roads, just talk about Li Yan's south road.

As soon as he set off on the expedition, South Road encountered a hard bone that was not easy to chew.

This tough bone is the 12 Mamluk cavalry in Egypt.

This Mamluk cavalry is composed of slaves, fearless and quite difficult to deal with.

At first, Li Yan sent Liu Rui to lead [-] cavalry as the front army.

But Liu Rui was young and energetic, and was lured to the plain of Ain Jalu by the Mamluk cavalry. Then, the Mamluk cavalry pretended to be defeated and led [-] cavalry led by Liu Rui into a valley.

The Mamluk Sultan Kudus (that is, the King of Egypt) lined up there, waiting for the arrival of the middle cavalry.

At the same time, the Mamluk cavalry who lured the enemy also stood in formation on the right flank.

When the left wing of the ambushing army rushed down, they quickly surrounded Liu Rui's troops on three sides.

Faced with such a situation, whether it was Liu Rui or other soldiers of the Chinese army, they all showed the combat power of the world's number one army-they used their muskets to overwhelm the Mamluk cavalry at all.

Later, the Mamluk Sultan Kudus gave up fighting with the soldiers of the Chinese army and adopted hand-to-hand combat tactics, and then personally led his troops into the army of the Chinese army, waving Damascus machetes to kill the soldiers of the Chinese army.

Kudusi was very brave and good at fighting, and killed more than a dozen soldiers of the Chinese army in a short while.

Kudusi was so brave that he inspired the soldiers around him, and everyone rushed forward to fight with the Chinese army.

The biggest growth of the Chinese army is to rely on the advantages of muskets and artillery, not hand-to-hand combat.

Therefore, in this battle, Liu Rui was defeated and returned, killing more than 1 horses, and finally fled back with only a few thousand horses.

This was Li Yan's biggest defeat since his expedition to the west.

Li Yan was furious, he pushed Liu Rui to the end, and then sent Zhang Xian to face the Mamluk cavalry in person.

Zhang Xian, who was old in the battle, was not as reckless as Liu Rui. Facing the temptation of the Mamluk cavalry, Zhang Xian ignored the enemy at all, but steadily advanced to the capital of Egypt, forcing the Mamluk cavalry to come to the decisive battle.

Seeing that Zhang Xian was not fooled, moreover, Zhang Xian led only a little over 3 troops, only [-] more than Liu Rui, and they still had more than [-], which was three or four times that of the Chinese army. With the prestige of a great victory, I will have a real decisive battle with Zhang Xian.

In this battle, Zhang Xian gave full play to the advantages of the Chinese army's advanced weapons and defeated the Mamluk cavalry. Sixty to seventy thousand Mamluk cavalry were killed in the first battle. King Kudus of Egypt was killed in battle, and the remaining Mamluk cavalry scattered. ——Because of Liu Rui's big defeat before, there were no prisoners in this battle.

After defeating the main force of Egypt, the Chinese army swept across Egypt.

Soon, Li Yan divided Egypt into five countries, and then distributed them to his sons.

After defeating the main force of Egypt, Li Yan left Egypt to his sons to slowly pacify it, and then led the army to Libya.

Even the Mamluk cavalry in Egypt are no match for the Chinese army, let alone Libya.

Without much effort, the Chinese army swept across Libya. Then, Li Yan divided Libya into five countries and entrusted them to his sons.

After that, Li Yan led an army to Tunisia. After occupying this place, Li Yan entrusted it to his son Li Ke, crossed the sea from here, and then went straight to Constantinople to kill.

……

After the North Route Central Army led by Yue Fei crossed the Caucasus and entered Russia to attack the Turkic Polovtsians, the Russians, feeling ashamed, decided to send troops to help. Formed a huge Ross coalition army.

But this Russian coalition army is purely feudal. Each army is commanded by a feudal lord, and they fight on their own. They are full of hostility and distrust among each other, and the overall combat effectiveness is greatly reduced. As far as I know, I don't know how strong the Chinese army's combat power is.

Therefore, the final fiasco of the Ross coalition forces can be imagined.

The short section says.

On the banks of the Dakarka River, the main force of the Ross Allied Forces met the main force of the Chinese Army led by Yue Fei.

In this wide plain, the forgetful Ross allied forces took the lead in charging, but unfortunately they fell into the trap of the Chinese army, were shot and killed by the Chinese army, and were surrounded by the Chinese army without knowing it. Almost wiped out.

The already loose Ross alliance immediately disintegrated, and the princes withdrew to the fiefs with their little wealth.

The Chinese army took advantage of the victory to pursue, killed eleven princes and kings, and surrounded the camp of the leader of the coalition army, Marquis Kiev.

After a three-day siege, the coalition leader Kiev Alternate led everyone to surrender.

In order to prevent these people from returning to chaos, all these people were sent to Cairo, and then sent back to the Dazhong Railway by the Sun Never Set Fleet to repair the railway.

After this battle, Russia, which had lost its main force, could no longer organize a decent coalition force.

Yue Fei sent someone to inform Li Yan's dozens of sons who had been waiting for a long time, that they could bring the pro-military and reserve civilian husbands up.

Li Yan's sons led their pro-military and reserve civilian wives to disperse according to the countries Li Yan had divided in advance to occupy the whole of Russia.

In just a few months, almost all cities in Russia were breached.

Every time a city was broken, Li Yan's sons captured all the nobles in the city, regardless of men, women, old and young, according to Li Yan's instructions in advance, and then ransacked the homes of the nobles in the city, and then sent people to send all the nobles and jewels to the city. Go to Cairo, and then the country will be theirs.

As for Li Yan's sons, do they dare to embezzle these nobles and treasures?
With 1 of their guts, they would not dare to do such a thing, because they all have people from Zhu Gui, Shi Xiu, and Chai Jin. They don't want to be kings, but they want to be punished by Li Yan. They can try it .

……

Midway.

After sweeping all the Crusader countries, Liu Kai led the army across the strait to attack Bulgaria.

This road was also swept all the way-Liu Kai led the army to fight, while crossing the Carpathian Mountains and marching straight to the capital Pisti (near Budapest, Hungary later).

Soon, the army gathered opposite the city of Pest, Hungary.

Budapest is originally two cities. The part located east of the Danube is called Pest, and the part west of the Danube is called Buda. The combination of the two parts is called Budapest. Both Buda and Pest are large cities in Hungary——Hungary The capital of Buda is Buda, and Pest has facilities such as the palace of Bella I.

Seeing the Chinese army coming, Bela I was not panicked. He believed that the wide Danube was enough to prevent the Chinese army from crossing the river.

Therefore, Bela I did not rush out of the city to fight, but slowly gathered his troops-by the time the Central Army arrived at the city, [-] Hungarian troops had gathered in Pest.

The Chinese army attacked but did not break.

The Hungarian army did not fight again.

Seeing this, Liu Kai came up with a trick to lure the Hungarian army to the Huining River, and then Liu Kai led the army to retreat.

Seeing this, Bella I went out of the city to fight.

The Chinese army retreated slowly until they reached the confluence of the Sayo and Tisza rivers.

At this time, the ambush of the Chinese army broke out violently, causing the Hungarian army to be in chaos during their escape by encircling three and missing one.

During the several days of pursuit, more than [-] Hungarian troops were wiped out, and Bela I was captured alive.

The Chinese army then entered the city of Pest and broke through its city.

Two days later, the city of Buda was also captured by the Chinese army.

Liu Kai captured all the nobles of Buda and Pest, confiscated all their homes, and then sent people to send all these nobles and treasures to Cairo.

……

The South Army went straight to Constantinople to kill, Russia fell, the capital of Hungary was breached, and the European countries were shaken, and new coalition forces were established and "close" alliances were established one after another.

however--

At this time in Europe, Uros, Poland, and Hungary were divided into principalities, each governed independently, and did not listen to the orders of the Grand Duke. Germany, Italy, and Austria were involved in the Crusades.

The situation in Europe is very favorable for the Chinese army's westward expedition.

More importantly, the armies of European countries are far inferior to the Chinese army in terms of weapons and equipment and tactics.

Therefore, the Chinese army conquered the whole of Europe, not whether it could be conquered, but when it could be conquered completely.
