Chapter 678: Suez

Since decades ago, the Fatimids and the Abbasids joined forces to wipe out the Tang people who had given them a great sense of humiliation to all the cannibals. As a result, first, the combined navy suffered a great defeat in the Mediterranean; Subsequently, the land inhabited by the Tang people was also completely integrated into a whole by the victory of the naval battle. Such a miraculous scene shocked Europe, North Africa, and the Near East. And the coalition forces of the Great Cannibals, coupled with the defeat in the naval battle, have low morale. was completely defeated by the subsequent Tang people by sea and land.

The victorious Tang took advantage of the situation to pursue and directly attack the Fatimid center of Egypt, not only defeating the Fatimid army's tangled army again along the way, but also taking advantage of the situation to sack more than 20 cities, including Alexandria. At this point, the Tang people, who had won a great victory and carried rich booty, returned with a full load, and trampled on the head of the great cannibal.

The war that attracted much attention from all over the world made countless people grow their mouths in surprise. Even the reinforcements that had been prepared by the countries of Western Europe were completely useless. The strength of the Tang people, as well as the unity of their originally divided lands, made all the countries belonging to the land in the Mediterranean region more and more curious for a while. Such miraculous deeds made the Shinrikyo founded by the Tang people very beautiful, and the missionary deeds in various regions progressed quite rapidly.

The kingdoms of the Iberian Peninsula, from the monarchs and nobles to the serfs and untouchables, were converted. People living in the vast lands of North Africa are not as resistant to Shinrikyo as they were at the beginning. After that, Shinrikyo began to spread from its roots in the Iberian Peninsula to Gaul, and then to Germany and the British Isles across the Channel. And the monarch of the Tang dynasty would not give up this rare opportunity at all, and sent missionaries trained in the seminaries of the country to spread the teachings in the above-mentioned areas.

Compared with the rising Truth Church, Catholicism is gradually becoming a bit sluggish.

In the face of the erosion of pagan forces that continued to invade the pastoral areas of faith, the Holy See naturally dared not speak out, and according to the original agreement, the above-mentioned areas were the sphere of influence of Shinrikyo and the place of religious export. Although now, the Shinrikyo Cult has begun to continuously encroach on the territory that belongs to their Holy See, but the Holy See, which has no soldiers and no power, is not at all the opponent of this group of Tang people who have just defeated Saracen's hundreds of thousands of allied forces. Therefore, apart from secretly making some stumbling blocks and tricks, the Holy See really has no other good way.

Moreover, since that war, the Tang people have become more and more powerful and prosperous. Because of the integration of the land where they live, many port cities became inland cities when the land was merged. Port facilities have been destroyed, and many of the terrain has changed dramatically as the land collides with each other. There are several mountain ranges, all of which are above 2,000 meters above sea level, and of course some of the hills have been raised to the ground and turned into small hills. Although some plains farmland and pastures have been damaged, these small losses can only be repaired over time.

For them, the greatest impact was the 'miracle' integration of the previously fragmented land, which led the Tang people to live together on a single land, following a royal family towards the goal of becoming more prosperous and powerful. And in fact, the Tang people did it. Although many of the original prosperous and excellent port cities have become inland cities. However, under the subsequent dynamics, the Tang people once again explored and drew the topography and topography map of the country, and found a natural harbor with good conditions, and then built excellent and prosperous port cities again. Today, the arrival of merchant ships from all over the world is the best proof of this.

The Tang people, indeed, are getting richer and stronger year after year under the attention of all parties. Now, after decades of Chengping, the Tang people's silent soldiers for half a hundred have come out of the sheath again.

When the more than 10,000 soldiers of the Tang people landed, they repaired for a short day, and on the morning of the second day, under the leadership of the commander, they went straight to the Ismailian province of Fatimid Egypt, and quickly captured various cities, and then the army divided a small group to capture the Suez region. Later, the news of the above-mentioned areas being conquered by the Tang reached Cairo, the political center of the Fatimids.

The sudden offensive and undeclared war of the Tang people undoubtedly angered and frightened the Fatimids. The tragic defeat of decades ago is still fresh in their minds. In the original fiasco, not only were more than 20 of Egypt's richest cities looted, but they also faced the opportunity to be extorted by the Tang people, and a large amount of gold, silver, livestock and spices were compensated. And now, the sudden war has once again terrified the entire Fatimids.

Although there were only 10,000 Tang people who launched the attack, these 10,000 people were completely the elite of the elite. This stems from the Tang people's unremitting hard training in martial arts and battle formations for more than 100 years, resulting in them all in one-on-one battles, they can fight five or even one dozen ten. Moreover, their armaments and supplies are sufficient enough to be the envy of any country. Moreover, unlike the feudal lords on the European continent, the country where the Tang people lived was a highly centralized country. This means that once the war begins, the country's materials and production will be prepared for the war. Moreover, they still have a population of nearly 10 million, and if the war mobilization begins, it means that they can easily assemble an elite army of more than 100,000 and highly skilled soldiers.

Therefore, even if they knew that the Tang people had invaded only 10,000 people, the Fatimid dynasty was extremely frightened. It was really the place where the Tang landed and attacked, and it was too close to their capital, Cairo. Once these 10,000 men rushed to Cairo, it was still unclear whether the Fatimids would be able to withstand the onslaught of these wolf-like soldiers.

The panicked Fatimids, while sending messengers to greet and beg for peace, began to gather their own troops. And in stark contrast to the Fatimid dynasty, it is undoubtedly the Tang people. They had no precursor to an imminent war, and instead began to build camps and harbors without haste, having captured the cities in the region. In the area of Port-Said, where there is not even a village today, the Tang people immediately began to build a humble port, and reported to the country, and once again brought in an army of 10,000 men and architects. When the Fatimid army was assembled, they did not dare to march into the above areas at all, but gathered their troops in Cairo. What the purpose is, people with a clear face can see it at a glance.

For this reason, Lu Duan, who was stranded and did not go, was very emotional and praised it. "The victory of military might, throughout the ancient and modern, is really rare through the ages!" This kind of occupation of other countries' land is not uncommon in history. The only thing that made Lu Duan sigh was that in the face of the foreign army that had invaded its territory, it had already gathered several times the enemy's army, and it still did not dare to fight. This was what shocked Lu Duan, and from this point he knew how high the Tang people's military might and prestige were in the land of Europa.
