Chapter 1582, Betrayer
(Ahem, my old face turned red, there was a big mistake in the previous chapter. Prince Ahmed seemed to have been killed when he was in front of him and was given to the Ottoman Emperor. I actually forgot about this. I am really ashamed, ashamed~ So change Ahmed in the above to Prince Selim)
“Woooooo~”
On the Dabik grassland, with howling sounds, Egypt took the lead in launching an attack.
The 150,000 Mamluk feudal lords in the vanguard position, the nobles' army immediately divided into three groups, killing towards the Ottoman army like three sharp swords.
These traditional Mamluk feudal lords and military nobles have mainly divided into two types of troops, one is cavalry, but only the great lords and the great nobles can have the qualifications to arm the cavalry with funds and financial resources.
Another type is infantry. Infantry is relatively simple, easier, and consumes less money, so it accounts for the vast majority. Among the 150,000 troops, 120,000 are infantry, and only 30,000 cavalry.
The 30,000 cavalry were all in the hands of Dur and Karaven. They were the largest and most powerful feudal military nobles and lords, and also had the largest fiefdom and the largest population.
It was precisely because of the 30,000 cavalry in their hands that they had always firmly grasped the important voice of Egypt. Even Kansu II did not dare to touch them at all, because with 30,000 cavalry, they were fully capable of overthrowing Kansu II's rule.
At this moment, three armies rushed towards the Ottoman army, but an extremely strange scene appeared. Thirty thousand cavalry rode their horses, and their speed was not as fast as infantry.

When the 120,000 infantry army was already fighting with the Ottoman army, the 30,000 cavalry were still struggling behind and did not sprint as planned on the spot, tearing the front of the Ottoman army.
"What exactly do Dur and Karaven want to do?"
Kansu II, who saw this scene through a telescope, couldn't help but curse.
At this critical moment, the two of them were actually procrastinating and did not attack the Ottoman army's camp according to the local combat plan.
Without the sprinting power of the cavalry, infantry alone is not enough to open the gap and tear open the defense line. At this moment, just as we just started fighting, the 120,000 infantry were already in a difficult situation.
The large army of the Ottoman Empire relied on infantry to resist the impact, while the light cavalry on both wings began to exert force.
The light cavalry relied on speed to swim quickly on both wings, while wandering, shooting arrows. In addition to each wave of attack, they quickly turned around, just like the two wings had large circular sawtooths, constantly cutting and rubbing off their legions.
At the same time, on the front battlefield, heavy cavalry legions from Europe were wearing thick armor and riding tall horses protected by armor. They began to attack head-on, preparing to tear apart the defense line of the 120,000 troops in one fell swoop, and then divide and erode the twelve families.
"Madan, Dur and Karavin, I must kill you two when I look back."
Seeing this scene, Kansu II's eyes were red and he wanted to kill them now.
Seeing these 120,000 infantrymen being torn and strangled by the Ottoman army, the two of them were still watching the fun leisurely without any intention of helping.
Originally, 30,000 cavalry and 120,000 infantry were enough to compete with the Ottoman army, but at this moment, the battle situation was a one-sided situation.
Without the impact and cover of cavalry, relying solely on infantry, facing the Ottoman army sweeping across Europe and Asia, which is simply no different from delivering food.
The heavy cavalry attacked in the middle, opened the gap, and the light cavalry on both wings continued to shoot roundaboutly. Coupled with the advancement of infantry, the Ottoman Empire was slaughtering infantry from the Egyptian side despite the number of people in the number of people.
At this moment, he was facing an extremely embarrassing situation. He was killed in a mess. Countless people were crying and calling for their parents. Some were constantly cursing, some were scolding Karavin and Dur, and some were scolding Kansu II.
And soon, with the fierce attack of the Ottoman army, they began to collapse completely, like a pile of sand, fleeing desperately.
"Haha, you are still prime minister, you are powerful. You can easily eat the 120,000 Egyptian army without any effort."
Selim looked at the scene in front of him and immediately burst into laughter with joy. He swallowed up the 120,000 Egyptian army so easily, and the remaining 200,000 newly armed peasant army was even less of a problem.
The only thing that needs a headache is the 30,000 musketeers in Kansu II's hands, but the number is very small. At that time, even if you have to chew it, you will have to chew it off.
What's more, this time I brought 30,000 musketeers, and even if it's ace against ace, I will definitely win.
"Your Highness has been awarded~"
Ali Pasha replied modestly.
"Dur and Karaven have long been dissatisfied with Kansu II. I just made some use of it and made some short promises for them."
"After we really conquered Egypt, they wouldn't have room for bargaining. Now they are watching the show and are not attacking according to our requirements. They obviously want to retain their strength."
"They also want to share the benefits of the Egyptian canal, they are simply delusional."
Then, Ali Pasha looked at the 30,000 cavalry army of Dur and Karavan who were watching the fun, and also sneered.
There was no effort or trouble to instigate the two of them to rebel. They just promised to guarantee their status and fiefdom, and promised that after the Ottoman Empire obtained the Egyptian Canal, they would share the benefits of the Egyptian Canal with them. In this way, they easily made these two people betray Kansu II.
"Let's clean them up later."
When Selim heard this, he laughed.
On the other side, Dur and Karaven rode on high-headed horses, watching the Ottoman army constantly encroaching on Egyptian infantry, with no expression on their faces.
They could see some old friends cursing the world and cursing themselves, and also see the angry Kansu II behind them, leading the new army to save the 120,000 infantry surrounded.
To be honest, they felt uncomfortable watching their own people being massacred.
But when they thought of Kansu II wanting to take back his fiefdom and army, and the amazing benefits of the Egyptian canal, they finally chose to betray Egypt, Kansu II, and led their 30,000 cavalry to watch the fun quietly.
"Do you say that the Ottoman Empire promised us the terms, will they fulfill them?"
After a long time, Duer asked to Karaven beside him.
"Yes, don't worry, the Ottoman Empire lies in Europe and Asia, not only relying on its strong strength, but also on its credibility. Countless people who defected to the Ottoman Empire have received reuse and rewards. Have you seen those heavy European cavalry?"
"Many of them are actually Europeans. They used to be knights of the Teutonic Knights and the Hospital Knights. These heavy cavalrymen were under their training and leadership."
"This is enough to show that the Ottoman Empire will keep its promises, and our fiefdom can be doubled in the future, and we can also enjoy the huge benefits brought by the Egyptian canal every year."
"Besides, we have 30,000 cavalry in our hands. Whether it is Kansu II or the Ottoman Empire, as long as we have soldiers and food, they will be afraid of us and dare not do anything to us."
Caravan replied confidently, but in fact he had no clue in his heart, but he had reached this point without turning back. He could only continue to walk in a dark way.
The battle continued, and the corpses on the grassland were everywhere and blood flowed into a river.
The 120,000 infantry panicked were like lambs waiting to be slaughtered, being slaughtered at a terrible speed by the Ottoman army. At the same time, the Ottoman army began to capture prisoners.
While rushing to the front of the Egyptian army, he also shouted slogans such as surrendering but not killing, and surrendering but not dead.
Such conditions are obviously very tempting for the Egyptian infantry on the verge of collapse. A large number of infantry began to put down their weapons and raised their hands to stand in place.
Then they were soon tied up by the Ottoman soldiers. The Ottoman soldiers laughed happily while tied up, and even some squads had a dispute over snatching prisoners.
Some Ottoman soldiers even threw down a rope for more captive soldiers and asked these Egyptian soldiers to tie themselves up. They had no time to tie you up slowly, their eyes were all red, and when they looked at these Egyptian infantry, they seemed to see gold.
Kansu II, who was in a hurry, came up with his 30,000 ace musketeers and 20 newly armed peasant army to rescue the surrounded infantry.
"Haha, these newly armed peasant soldiers are just coming to deliver vegetables, 200,000 yuan, this one sells 10 taels of silver, which is also 2 million taels of silver."
