In fact, the army of the Kipchak Khanate was far farther from the city of Alimali than the army of General Ashu and the Ilkhanate, however, General Ashu seems to have given the army of the Kipchak Khanate the upper hand while waiting for the arrival of the army of the Ilkhanate. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

General Ashu said that even if he was moving forward slowly, he suffered a lot of losses, which was far more difficult than when he attacked the Ögedai Khanate, because the other side had made sufficient preparations.

Along the way, his army was constantly harassed by the other side, and his so-called firearms were far from being suitable for counterattacks------ and of course he really understood the reason why those Song dogs could not get out of the city.

It is true that the firearms are ferocious, but the speed is too slow to keep up with the rhythm of the cavalry, especially when the advantages of the terrain and terrain are in the hands of others, they are basically passively beaten!

The Chahatai Khanate was able to send three thousand troops to raid at the same time, and after shooting the arrows, he ran slowly, looking like he was ready to play the "Mangu" style------ as long as they raided once, his army would be stripped of layers of onions like the flowing shallots!

But he couldn't pursue, he didn't know the terrain as well as his opponent------ so he could only walk more slowly, and even stationed the barracks with four-wheeled/large carriages.

Sure enough, his method paid off, and he fought back fiercely against his opponents------ but they were in a hurry, and they dared to run to the preset battlefield to attack!

Then, he finally waited for the army of the Ilkhanate, an iron-clad ally of the big bosses and worthy of trust.

It is said that Hulegu, the son of Genghis Khan's fourth son, Tuolei, learned that Kublai Khan had become the Great Khan, and had a dispute with his younger brother Ali Buge for the throne, so he no longer returned to Mongolia.

He sent envoys to both sides of the contest, clearly expressing his support for Kublai Khan as Great Khan and accusing Ali Buge.

The great leader Kublai Khan reciprocated, and he sent an edict to transfer the Persian territory west of the Amu Darya River to the border with Egypt, as well as the Mongol and Arab soldiers and civilians there, under the rule of Hülegü.

As a result, the region of Persia, which had been under the direct jurisdiction of the Great Khan's government, actually became the domain of Hulegu, and thus established another dynasty: the Ilkhanate.

Its territory stretches from the Amu Darya and Indus rivers in the east, to most of Asia Minor in the west, to the Persian Gulf in the south, and to the Caucasus Mountains in the north.

Hulegu Yimlakha, which is now Malag in East Azerbaijan Province of Iran, as the capital, set up a prime minister to take charge of the country's political affairs, appointed provincial governors, and ordered his eldest son, Abaha, to lead the eastern Khorasan and other provinces of the Khanate.

In 1265, when Hulegu died, the kings and ministers were given the throne of Abha, and at the same time sent envoys to report the funeral, so the great leader Kublai Khan sent an envoy to establish him as Khan.

After Abaha ascended the throne, he decided to have his capital in Tabriz, with Melaha as his accompanying capital.

During the great invasion of the Great Song Dynasty by the great leader Kublai Khan, he recruited craftsmen from Abha and built a return cannon; He also recruited cavalry from him, and won tens of thousands of troops------ and the two countries were definitely an alliance of steel.

In this behind-the-scenes exchange of interests, Abha agreed not to compete with the Kipchak Khanate for Transcaucasia, and ceded it to him in exchange for friendship between the two countries.

Of course, the big boss Kublai Khan had secretly promised him that the losses here would be made up from the Chahatai Khanate.

General Ashu sincerely welcomed the arrival of General Hua Buli Hua with 20,000 cavalry.

The two sides quickly fused together.

The treasure of the ten four-wheeled/wagons was finally delivered to the person it really wanted to deliver: the Great Khan of the Ilkhanate, Abaha.

General Hua Buli Hua happily accepted the gift, and people hurried back to China.

But he was more interested in the new style of play and new weapons of the Great Shogun Ashu.

General Hua Buri Hua drank sake, ate canned meat and roast mutton, and said, "General Ashu, if I had a weapon like yours earlier, we would not have lost the city of Damascus------"

Interestingly, the Tatar Hulegü was once regarded as a savior by the vast number of Christians in the Is/Lan world, and his expedition to the west was seen as a crusade from the East.

As early as the Tang Dynasty, Christianity began to spread widely in the Tang Dynasty, which was called Nestorianism.

The Tatars are mainly shamanic, but there are also quite a few Nestorians, so they have always been kind to the Christian sect.

The Kreh tribe of the Tatars had long been converted to Nestorian Christianity, and the mother of the three brothers, Möngke, Kublai Khan, and Hülegü, was from the Kereh tribe.

Under the influence of his mother, Möngke Khan was very fond of the Nestorian Christians, and the prime minister he chosen, Poluhe, was also a Nestorian Christian.

While the rest of Europe and Asia saw the Mongols as a beast of prey, the Armenian king Haitun was probably the most politically minded figure in all of Central Asia.

He was keenly aware of the Tatars' friendly attitude towards Christianity and believed that they could be the saviors of the oppressed Christians in Central and Western Asia.

When the Tatar general Gyer Mahan conquered the Caucasus, Haitun took the initiative to ask for surrender to Urmakand and became a loyal vassal of the Tatars.

When Haitun heard that the Tatars had plans to conquer Arabia westward, he knew that the time had come. He traveled day and night to Hala and Lin to meet Möngke Khan.

Haitun stated that if the Western Expedition was to eradicate the Abbasid regime for Christians and liberate the holy city of Jerusalem, it would be supported and embraced by all Christians in the Arab Empire.

Why didn't Möngke Khan do such a benefit, Haitun then held the "Zhali Black" issued by Möngke Khan------ that is, the imperial edict of the Tatar Great Khan, and returned with a full load.

The general content was the protection of the Armenian state from foreign aggression and the granting of the right of free proselytizing to the Christian Church of Armenia throughout the empire.

The Imperial Edict also pledged to send Hulegü to the west to destroy the Abbasid Caliphate, the enemy of the Christians, and to return the holy city of Jerusalem to the Christians.

Therefore, when Hulegü led an army of 150,000 to Persia and Arabia, it was ostensibly a Tatar crusader army, with tens of thousands of troops from Christian vassals, and Haitun himself led the way with 20,000 Armenian ironclad cavalry.

Among the prominent Christians in the Tatar army was the cowardly Buhua, a fierce general under Hulegu.

Although Hulegu himself was a shaman, his princess Tyguskodun was a Nestorian Christian.

Takus Khan was shrewd and capable, and Möngke Khan appreciated her very much, and repeatedly instructed Hulegu to discuss with her when he encountered a major event. Decuskotten had a significant influence on Hülegü's religious policy. Whenever the Hulagu army was encamped, the Christian priests in the army set up tent churches, rang wooden bells, and summoned their followers to pray.

In fact, the Tatar regime was a typical bandit regime, and their big leaders had no concept of religious jihad in their heads, and the western crusade was still to satisfy his ambition to conquer the world.

The Tatars have always coveted the prosperity and opulence of the Arab world, and Europe is poor, backward and insignificant in comparison, and not worth fighting about.

Later, because of the death of Möngke, the main force of their western expedition was withdrawn, and the Tatars lost in the battle of Ain Jaru------

General Hanariburi said in a deep voice:

"After the cowardly general was captured by them, he said, If I die at your hands, I think it is providence, not you. Don't get drunk on a moment of victory.

When the news of my death reaches Hülagu Khan, his wrath will be like a boiling sea, and the land from Azhel Byzam to the gates of Egypt will be trampled by Tatar horses!

He also ridiculed the Mamluk sultans who became kings by murder, and the murder of the previous king was their usual way to take the throne------ but it was a pity that Hulagu Khan did not fulfill his wish until his death, if we had a weapon like yours, then that wish would definitely be granted! ”

"That's not enough, my brother, and I'll show you better ------" (To be continued.) )
