Video spoilers history, starting with the blitzkrieg on Poland

The marquee continues to play.

[Repeated struggles for interests within the Crusaders.]

[With the guidance and supplies of the local Arab and Turkic emirs. ]

[In June 1099, after nearly three years of expedition, the Crusaders arrived at the city of Jerusalem, which they had long dreamed of.]

【At this time, Jerusalem was ruled by the Fatimid dynasty of Egypt. 】

[The Fatimid dynasty was jokingly called the Song Dynasty of the Middle East. The country was rich but its military power was extremely low. ]

【But the situation of the Crusaders was even worse. 】

【Only 2 Crusaders were left outside Jerusalem.】

[Jerusalem is easy to defend but difficult to attack, with 2.5 defenders and a 12-meter-high double wall. ]

[Almost all water sources outside the city have been destroyed, and even replenishing water is difficult. ]

[Even more fatally, they lost 80% of their pack animals while crossing the Syrian Desert, resulting in a serious shortage of siege equipment materials.]

[The soldiers could only make makeshift ladders out of palm tree trunks and sew simple shields out of camel skins.]

[But with the holy land in sight, the morale boost from religious fanaticism has reached its peak.]

【The soldiers didn't mind suffering at all.】

[Immediately launched a strong attack, but was easily defeated. ]

[The Crusaders need materials to make siege engines. ]

[Luckily, the sailors of the Genoa support fleet dismantled the warship and used wood to build a ladder and three 30-meter mobile towers.]

[And hid the siege tower. ]

【This becomes the key to breaking into the city. 】

[The siege continues.]

[The soldiers were suffering in misery, with no hope of breaking the city, and they saw that the nobles were already thinking about dividing up the territory before they even broke the city.]

【The soldiers' morale began to drop.】

[Faced with a desperate situation, the Crusaders, under the advice of the charlatan Peter, made a surprising decision: marching around the city barefoot.]

[On July 7, the nobles led more than 8 soldiers around the holy city.]

[Whip yourself with a whip until you bleed. ]

[This confusing behavior amused the defenders in the city.]

[Although it failed to impress the defenders, it boosted the morale of the Crusaders once again. ]

【At dusk on July 7, the Crusaders launched a general attack. 】

[Tancred and Godfrey of Bouillon were the first to climb the walls from the siege tower.]

[After occupying a part of the city wall, Tancred was so angry that he didn't even open the city gate and continued to rush into the city to kill. ]

【Wherever the Norman barbarians went, the defenders were defeated. 】

[The city lord took a small number of people and fled out of the city from the Tower of David after bribing Raymond.]

【The Crusaders captured Jerusalem.】

【The pagans in the city were massacred.】

【Then the Christians in the city were considered to be collaborators with the enemy, so they were also massacred.】

[More than 70,000 residents of the holy city were almost massacred by the Crusaders.]

【The First Crusade, after three years of hard fighting, conquered Jerusalem and established the secular Kingdom of Jerusalem.】

【Raymond pretended to be cool and refused the throne, but then changed his mind.】

[But it could not prevent Godfrey of Bouillon from being elected king, and Godfrey did not wear the crown. ]

【And called himself "Guardian of the Holy Sepulchre." 】

[It then took only ten minutes to easily defeat the Fatimid dynasty's counterattack army.]

[Thus, the First Crusade came to an end.]

【This is a bloody killing journey. 】

[The atrocities such as looting and killing committed by the Crusaders along the way greatly shook the originally fragmented Islamic world.]

【But as far as military operations are concerned. 】

【The First Crusade was undoubtedly a success.】

[The almost impossible expedition ended in great victory. Four Crusader states emerged on the eastern coast of the Mediterranean and occupied Jerusalem.]

【And looking back. 】

【From the perspective of modern people, this is undoubtedly a period of history full of legends and controversies.】

[It witnessed the religious fanaticism, courage and cruelty of mankind. It had a profound impact on Europe and the Eastern world and became an important turning point in the history of the Middle Ages.]

The sky screen video ends here.

Netizens’ comments flew out one after another.

"I didn't expect that this group of scattered people would take over the holy land."

"It's incredible that the Crusaders can get here at this level."

"They were either quarreling or robbing along the way, and they really did something big!"

"These guys are so despicable, but they can still win the battle, which only means that their opponents are even worse."

"The main opponents are divided and busy fighting among themselves." "Indeed, if they encounter the peak Seljuk, the Crusaders will not dare to come."

"The knights are indeed very powerful. I can only say that they are expensive for a reason."

"The same is true of Wei Wuzu."

"It was impossible to take it, but then the Genoese sailors came."

"Genoa is still reliable. Byzantium finally survived for a few years relying on Genoa's mercenaries."

"Isn't the Crusade a holy war? Why is there even a picture of the holy city?"

"So what if it's a holy city? No one can save you unless Jesus is resurrected!"

《Raymond: I was just being polite, why are you really going to give the throne to someone else?》

"Raymond lost all his face when he fought for Antioch and then Jerusalem."

"The main reason is that Raymond has a big family in France, so there is really no need for him to hang out in this remote place."

"The Crusades sequel, defeating the Fatimid army in less than ten minutes, how stupid is that?"

"The Crusaders who survived this journey are all max-level warriors. Fatima will fight them head-on."

And outside the sky.

Ying Zheng stood in front of the Xianyang Palace, staring intently at the scene of the First Crusade on the sky.

Finished watching the entire long video.

Especially at the end, when the Crusaders looted the holy land in their minds and massacred tens of thousands of people.

Ying Zheng sneered disdainfully.

"Humph, they are just a bunch of rabble who use the name of religion to cover up their greedy nature in order to plunder wealth and land."

Fusu asked respectfully:
"Father, this group of Crusaders is just as you and the comments said. They are either quarreling or robbing along the way. They don't look like a strong and iron-blooded army at all."

"But in the end, the expedition of thousands of miles was completed, creating an unprecedented achievement."

"In your opinion, what can they achieve in this expedition to the east?"

Ying Zheng sat down slowly and said to his son, "Achieve great things, indeed."

"The results they have achieved are commendable no matter where they are."

"Although they are a makeshift group."

"But the core knights are well-armored, well-trained, and have outstanding combat effectiveness."

"And the lower-level soldiers who followed them were mostly fanatical in their beliefs, and they gave up everything and could only move forward to win, with no way back."

"The Crusaders' army has the fighting capacity and the will to fight."

"Although morals are corrupt, there is no military discipline, and there is no unified command."

“But it’s enough to make a big difference.”

"What's more, although I don't like the Crusaders' looting and pillaging, it is indeed an effective means to motivate the soldiers."

See that Ying Zheng recognized the fighting power and will of the Crusaders.

Li Xin was a little dissatisfied.

Li Xin stepped forward and clasped his fists, saying, "Your Majesty is right, but I think the performance of these Crusaders on the battlefield is far inferior to the might of our Qin cavalry."

"They are constantly fighting for their own interests. How can they contend with the united army of the Qin Empire?"

Ying Zheng smiled confidently.

"That's inevitable!"

……

But in the late Han Dynasty.

Zhang Jue looked up at the sky and saw the First Crusade.

Those poor peasants were incited to embark on the journey, their eyes full of mixed emotions, and they sighed:
"These Western people are very similar to my followers of the Taiping Dao. They are all exploited because of their hardship in life."

"Staying in Western Europe means that you will never be able to stand up again and be oppressed by the lords for generations."

"If we fight to the death and march east, we might even be able to win a piece of land, and after death we can even enter the paradise they believe in."

Zhang Bao beside him frowned and said, "Brother, they are killing and looting under the banner of religion. It's really abominable."

Zhang Jue let out a long sigh.

“This is the chaos of the world.”

"They use the name of God to deceive people and make them work for them."

"And the fanatics who followed the Crusaders, although they were oppressed poor people, could also become a mob."

"Led by a bandit lord of the Crusades."

"Nature will also become a robber."

"Although our Taiping Dao also unites people with its doctrine, it is to free the people of the world from suffering and to allow them to share peace."

Zhang Bao said angrily, "Brother, we must let the world know that it is our Taiping Dao that truly seeks the welfare of the people, not these bandits from the West."

Zhang Jue nodded slightly.

"We must speed up the pace of preaching so that more people can know the true meaning of my Taiping Dao and no longer be deceived by these false doctrines."

"We are raising an uprising to overthrow corruption and bring peace to the people, not to do what they do, using the sacred banner to commit treasonous acts."

"Soon the whole world will see which of the gods dies first." (End of this chapter)
