Chapter 1254: The Ottomans disintegrate, and the hundred marquis compete for hegemony

This battle directly buried the future of the Ottoman Empire.

The Generalissimo of the SS class protector was killed in battle, and the top ten protector generals, three of whom were killed in battle, four were captured, and one was missing, and only two escaped from the ascension. Six of the eight Guards Legions, which were the absolute main force of the Ottoman Empire, were wiped out, and only two escaped from the battlefield at a terrible cost of more than 60% of their troops.

The pillar-like Xingyue Praetorian Guard was even more pursued by Lu Bu and directly wiped out by the whole system.

After defeating the Ottoman expeditionary force, the Western Regions Legion did not stop there.

The direct army of the Western Regions was divided into three parts, the first part was dominated by the Yellow Turban Army, which was responsible for collecting the fleeing Ottoman soldiers and stabilizing the order in the Western Regions. The second road was divided into five routes, under the leadership of Zhang Yan, Xu Rong, Ma Chao, Tian Kai, and Wu Anguo, each with two combat corps, and frantically expanded to the surrounding small countries outside the Western Regions.

As for Lü Bu, he personally led the remaining ten combat legions to pursue frantically along the route of the Ottoman expeditionary force.

The pursuit lasted for a month, from the borders of the Western Regions to the borders of the Ottoman Empire. The Ottoman expeditionary force was intercepted by Lü Bu just as it was entering the Ottoman mainland.

On the one hand, Lü Bu sent Zhang Liao to lead a team to block the receiving corps sent by the Ottoman side, and on the other hand, he personally led the army to launch the final encirclement and suppression of the Ottoman expeditionary group.

The encirclement did not last long, and the last surviving Ottoman expeditionary force underwent a serious coup d'état, and the aboriginal army, led by an S-class aboriginal general, purged the Ottoman players and surrendered to Lü Bu.

As for the Ottoman Emperor Eldord, he went offline not long after the decisive battle broke out in the Western Regions!

Now everyone knows that the Shang Ji Army has a special means that can directly eliminate the player. Eldord was very sorry for his life, and as soon as the Ottoman side showed its decline in the decisive battle in the Western Regions, Eldord decisively went offline to take refuge, so as not to be caught and "killed" by the merchant army!

However, as a leader, if you don't go online for a long time, there will definitely be big problems within the forces!

Originally, the defeat in the decisive battle almost collapsed the morale of the Ottoman expeditionary force, and after a month of pursuit, the Ottoman expeditionary force was like a lost dog, panicking all day.

Finally, after Lü Bu caught up with him and surrounded him, an indigenous general who had long been dissatisfied with Eldord's unfair treatment staged a coup d'état, purged Eldord's descendants, and then led his army to surrender.

The Ottoman expeditionary force was completely destroyed, and Lü Bu could not give up.

Turning around, he led the Ottoman expeditionary force that had just surrendered to join Zhang Liao's department and attack the Ottoman army that responded to the expeditionary force.

The elite expeditionary force is not the opponent of Lu Bu's corps, let alone these second-line troops left behind? And the Ottoman expeditionary force, which has been beaten as a monkey, also vented its anger on the Ottoman army for more than a month, and beat it to the ground.

Immediately afterwards, Lü Bu's corps brazenly stepped into the mainland of the Ottoman Empire, with only ten combat corps as the core, on the one hand, frantically attacking cities and plundering land, eliminating the living forces of the Ottoman Empire, and on the other hand, recruiting a large number of local forces of the Ottoman Empire and cultivating pro-Chinese Ottoman forces.

In the next six months, Ma Chao, Zhang Yan, Xu Rong and other left-behind troops completed their tasks and also led troops to support. With more than a dozen descendant combat legions as the core, supplemented by a large number of Ottoman troops, Lü Bu started the journey of Ottoman destruction.

By the beginning of the eleventh year of the first peace, except for the national capital Istanbul and the surrounding areas, the Ottoman Empire was swept away by Lü Bu. Of course, the most important reason for his efficiency is that he supports a large number of local warlords.

Every time a place is captured, the Ottoman natives who surrendered first are appointed as "so-and-so governors", and these governors are in charge of all military and political affairs in their jurisdictions, except for the need to provide Lü Bu with money, personnel, equipment, and material supplies, without any other restrictions, in their governorates, the emperor who is alive!

People are always ambitious, and it is not a difficult choice to be a "loyal minister" under Eldord or a governor who dominates one side, and many ambitious guys began to secretly contact Lu Bu when Lu Bu had not yet beaten him, in order to win the title of "Shouyi".

There was even a farce in a city where two Ottoman generals drew their swords against each other in order to break free from surrender.

In this case, what did Eldot rely on to fight Lu Bu?

He did not organize a counterattack, before the situation in the Ottoman Empire was completely out of control, he organized three large-scale decisive battles, but after the expeditionary corps was completely wiped out, the Ottoman Empire could no longer take out an army that could fight with Lu Bu, and the three decisive battles all ended in failure without exception, and the last time there was even a scene of the Ottoman army commander defecting from the battle, which made Eldod so angry that he vomited blood.

Over the past year, Lü Bu has supported more than 100 governors of all sizes on the territory of the Ottoman Empire, among which the large governor's control area can be as large as several counties, and the small one is only one county. However, no matter how big or small the governor's district is, these governors, without exception, all have real power, and they have soldiers and horses under their command, all of them are serious princes!

Eldod, who controlled Istanbul, had long since lost the prestige of the central power, and was at best a large prince. Not to mention the aboriginal princes, even the leaders of the player forces in the Austrian region ignore him, you must know that there is no shortage of strangers among the more than 100 governors!

In terms of the speed of surrender, the aborigines can't catch up with the aliens!

These princes nominally submitted to the Shang Ji in China and directly obeyed Lü Bu's orders, but in fact Lü Bu did not have a strong control over them, and he relied on his invincible prestige to suppress these princes.

Of course, there are some important strategic cities that are directly controlled by Lü Bu's army and are under the direct administration of Lü Bu.

This was also a helpless move, the distance between the mainland and the Ottoman Empire was too far, and the Shang Ji could only destroy the Ottoman Empire at best, but they absolutely did not have the ability to occupy or control the Ottoman Empire in a short period of time.

Moreover, Shang Ji has not yet smoothed out the Huaxia District, and has no energy or ability to take care of the Ottoman Empire far away in the world.

Occupy a few key areas, constantly absorb economic benefits, sit back and watch the Ottoman princes compete for hegemony, occasionally act as a referee, and continue to maintain the balance, until one day the Shang can fully occupy the entire Ottoman territory, and then sweep away these princes with a thunderbolt.

This was the final attitude of the current Shang Ji towards the Ottoman Empire.

If it weren't for the fact that the Ottoman Empire didn't know whether to live or die, and had to touch the tiger's buttocks, Shang Ji wouldn't have bothered to deal with the Ottoman Empire. In Shang Ji's schedule, there will be no Ottoman scenes for ten years, but who made Eldod brain-dead, and he was so swollen that he wanted to take the Huaxia District, since he took the initiative to find death, Shang Ji will also fulfill him.
