The Rise of the European Emperor

Marin spread out the topographic map of the war outbreak area, looked at it for a while, and said with a smile\u003cr /\u003e

\u003cr /\u003e

"This Adimir is really capable. He is worthy of being the number one general under the command of Sultan Garigul. The Bekaa Valley and the Golan Heights, but Lebanon and Syria's key areas to the south, control here. It really makes the Turks lose their temper. ! It seems that this is still a famous general!"\u003cr /\u003e

\u003cr /\u003e

Kohler smiled and shook his head and said\u003cr /\u003e

\u003cr /\u003e

"Really, according to the information from Egypt, this Adimir is a fierce general. He is not smart, but he is not stupid. He always fights by being brave and taking the lead. However, this time, he almost He died. But because Sultan Garrigul was shot off his horse first, he dismounted to check. As a result, his horse was killed by a bullet, but he escaped..."\u003cr /\u003e

\u003cr /\u003e

"As for the choice to defend at the southern end of the Bekaa Valley and the Golan Heights, it was because when Sultan Garrigul and his 10,000 remnant cavalry were unable to escape, they happened to meet 7,000 Egyptian slaves who were still heading north at the southern end of the Bekaa Valley. The Musketeers, after that, temporarily decided to fortify there. As for sending troops to the Golan Heights, they were also forced to send troops to occupy the place first because they were afraid that the Turks would send troops to take over his retreat..."\u003cr /\u003e

\u003cr /\u003e

"Oh...that's it..." Marin thought for a while, then suddenly asked again\u003cr /\u003e

\u003cr /\u003e

"You said that Garigul Sultan was shot and returned to Cairo to recuperate. Is it serious?"\u003cr /\u003e

\u003cr /\u003e

Gary Gul was the Sultan of the Mamluk Dynasty in Egypt, and Marin didn't want him to die at this critical moment. Otherwise, the Turks will definitely take advantage of the fire. \u003cr /\u003e

\u003cr /\u003e

Kohler shook his head, nodded again and said\u003cr /\u003e

\u003cr /\u003e

"Not too serious,

But it's also a bit serious..."\u003cr /\u003e

\u003cr /\u003e

"How to say?" Marin was curious about this statement. \u003cr /\u003e

\u003cr /\u003e

"It's like this. Gary Gul Sultan was shot in his left arm. It was very serious. Even the articular cartilage of his left arm was shattered by lead bullets. With lead poisoning... According to the doctor in Cairo, Gary Gul Sultan may The left arm is going to be amputated...that is to say, he will become a one-armed person..."\u003cr /\u003e

\u003cr /\u003e

Marin curled his lips and said to himself—what happened to the one-armed one? Have you never heard of the legend of the one-armed nun? Oh, no one has heard of it... After all, this is a character from a novel hundreds of years later...\u003cr /\u003e

\u003cr /\u003e

However, the lack of an arm does not prevent Garrigul from being his sultan. The crux of the problem is—how many troops of Galigul's lineage are left...\u003cr /\u003e

\u003cr /\u003e

Marin clearly remembered that in the famous game Warcraft of later generations, the green skin king of Thrall lost control of the orcs because of the annihilation of the most elite green skin Kulkaron during the Northern Expedition. Xiao Hou, the leader of the intact brown-skinned orcs, was seized. \u003cr /\u003e

\u003cr /\u003e

And the bald head of the later generations also became the commander in chief because of the many direct descendants of Huangpu under him, who had an advantage in the army, and expelled the traitor Wang and others. \u003cr /\u003e

\u003cr /\u003e

If after this battle, Galigul's elite lineage lost too much, with the tradition of infighting in the Mamluk dynasty, he, the Sultan, would have a hard time in the future. \u003cr /\u003e

\u003cr /\u003e

Kohler shook his head and said \u003cr /\u003e

\u003cr /\u003e

"Galigul's losses were indeed large, but the losses of other factions were even greater. The 140,000 or so cavalry that Garygul fled back with were mostly his direct descendants. According to reports from the intelligence personnel we sent to the front, he was in the binoculars Li observed that Garrigul would have had a chance to take away more troops. However, he deliberately abandoned several other troops and fled with only the more than 10,000 Mamluk cavalry around him. Obviously, he may have deliberately abandoned The army of some other Mamluk nobles. Perhaps, he has thought of this a long time ago..."\u003cr /\u003e

\u003cr /\u003e

"According to the report, Garigul brought a total of 50,000 Mamluk cavalry and artillery units from Egypt. Then, the Governor of Damascus and some nearby small governorships pieced together 20,000 servants to fight together. But with the Governor of Damascus The 20,000 servants on the right collapsed first. Before that, the Mamluk cavalry even gained certain advantages in the center and left.”\u003cr /\u003e

\u003cr /\u003e

"At that time, the Turks' cavalry had been repulsed by the Mamluk cavalry. The Mamluk cavalry even attacked the Turkish artillery positions, but was stopped by the iron chains pulled between the artillery of the Turkish army. Coupled with the counterattack of the muskets, The Turkish battle formation has not been breached."\u003cr /\u003e

\u003cr /\u003e

"Then, because the governor of Damascus was killed by muskets while leading the army to charge, the Turks' reserve team took the opportunity to rush out from the side and attack the panicked Damascus servants, causing some of the Damascus servants to attack the formation in the middle, causing chaos... "\u003cr /\u003e

\u003cr /\u003e

Marin touched his chin, thought for a while, and said\u003cr /\u003e

\u003cr /\u003e

"In other words, the Egyptians almost repelled the Turkish army, only to fall short because of the collapse of the Syrian slave army?"\u003cr /\u003e

\u003cr /\u003e

Kohler shook his head\u003cr /\u003e

\u003cr /\u003e

"No, although the Egyptian Mamluk cavalry was ferocious, they were not able to break through the Turkish battle formation. They just suppressed the Turkish offensive. Then, with the collapse of the right-wing servant army, it led to the defeat of the Egyptian army. Before that, it can only be said that the Egyptian army will not fall behind."\u003cr /\u003e

\u003cr /\u003e

Marin nodded\u003cr /\u003e

\u003cr /\u003e

"That's right, the Mamluk cavalry is indeed powerful. After all, they are trained rigorously, and they can be regarded as a weakened version of special forces in this era..."\u003cr /\u003e

\u003cr /\u003e

Then, Marin seemed to remember something, and said in surprise\u003cr /\u003e

\u003cr /\u003e

"Hey... that's not right..." Marin remembered that the original historical battle of Dabik Grassland took place in early 1516. And now, it's the middle of the year, several months late. Moreover, the reason why this war broke out in history was that Persia was first defeated by Turkey, and the Turks wanted to send troops for the second time to completely wipe out Persia. As a result, Sultan Garigul was dissatisfied and worried, so he led his army northward and fought against Turkey, but unfortunately lost...\u003cr /\u003e

\u003cr /\u003e

In this time and space, with the help of Marin, Persia was not disabled by the Turks, and Ismail I did not lose his fighting spirit. It stands to reason that the Persians whose strength is still there should not sit idly by in such a big battle...\u003cr /\u003e

\u003cr /\u003e

Marin raised his doubts, and Kohler found a document from the pile of documents and explained\u003cr /\u003e

\u003cr /\u003e

"It's like this. The Persians didn't just sit idly by, but because Ismail I led 60,000 cavalry to Baghdad, he suddenly became seriously ill. He was bedridden. Then, the Persian generals didn't dare to make their own decisions. Baghdad stopped. Then, the Persian army failed to rush to the battlefield in time to join the battle. Originally, the two countries planned to besiege the Turkish army together..."\u003cr /\u003e

\u003cr /\u003e

"However, according to the report from our secret agent Flying Pigeon who stayed in Persia, Ismail I was actually not sick, but was assassinated. He was seriously injured, so he was forced to stay in Baghdad to recuperate. The assassin is said to be a Kurd. The Kurds, supported by the Turkish Sultan Selim I, hired Assassin assassins at a high price. Although they succeeded, they also seriously injured Ismail I, dragged down the Persian army, and served Turkey Man defeated the Egyptian army to gain time..."\u003cr /\u003e

\u003cr /\u003e

"Wait... Isn't the Assassin Assassin a branch of the Ismaili sect of the Shiite sect? It is said that they belong to the same sect as Ismaili I. How could they assassinate Ismaili I, the leader of the Shiite sect?" Marin was a little confused. It was introduced in the later game Assassin's Creed that the Assassin Assassins belong to the Shia Ismaili sect...\u003cr /\u003e

\u003cr /\u003e

Kohler dug out another bunch of confidential documents and reported\u003cr /\u003e

\u003cr /\u003e

"It is true that the Assassin assassins belong to the Ismaili sect, but ever since Hulagu, the leader of the Mongolian conquest, wiped out the Eagle's Nest in the mountains, the Assassin sect has declined, and some remnants have gradually become Pure assassins who work for money no longer pay so much attention to sectarian issues. This time the Kurds bid high enough to impress an Assassin assassin leader. He personally took 5 disciples and pretended to join Ismail I, and then Assassinated him. Fortunately, Ismail I's guards gave up their lives to save Ismail I's life."\u003cr /\u003e

\u003cr /\u003e

"However, Ismail I was seriously injured and was bedridden because of this. He could no longer lead his troops westward to join forces with the Egyptian army. Selim I took the opportunity to fight against Galigul alone. Galigul felt that his forces were superior, and he wanted to He wanted to show the prestige of the Mamluks, so he fought alone. Unexpectedly, he was defeated in the end, with an army of more than 50,000, and only brought back more than 14,000 cavalry from the headquarters. Originally, his Mamluk cavalry had more than 30,000... ..."\u003cr /\u003e

\u003cr /\u003e

Marin finally realized it\u003cr /\u003e

\u003cr /\u003e

"Understood, originally Egypt and Persia wanted to unite to defeat Turkey, but Turkish Sultan Selim I encouraged the Kurds to bribe Assassin assassins to assassinate Persian Shah Ismail I, preventing the Persian army from arriving on the battlefield as scheduled. Then, the selfish Sultan Garigul led his army alone to defeat the Turkish army, but suffered a disastrous defeat due to the collapse of the servant army..."\u003cr /\u003e

\u003cr /\u003e

Kohler nodded again and again\u003cr /\u003e

\u003cr /\u003e

"That's right, this is the cause of the war..."\u003cr /\u003e

\u003cr /\u003e

"Right now, the Egyptians are seriously injured, and I am afraid they will never be able to challenge Turkey again. In Persia, it is said that Ismail I's injuries have just stabilized, and the army is still in Baghdad..."\u003cr /\u003e

\u003cr /\u003e

After hearing this, Marin stroked his forehead and said\u003cr /\u003e

\u003cr /\u003e

"Nimma, the Middle East has changed again! Fortunately, that old thing, Garrigul, is not dead, and there are still some people left who can stop the Turks from going south..."\u003cr /\u003e

\u003cr /\u003e

Next, Marin knew without thinking that the Mamluk dynasty of Egypt, which had suffered heavy losses, had withdrawn from the ranks of the Middle East hegemony, and it would be good to be able to hold the basic market. In the future, only Turkey and the Persians will be left to compete. But after getting the rich Syrian area, the strength of the Turks soared. I'm afraid the Persians will also be on the defensive...\u003cr /\u003e
