At that time, Ilhan Hulagu looked at the shameful appearance of the Mongolians, and knew that he was right. Then he couldn't help laughing wildly. The Mongolians' faces were inexplicably terrified and frightened.

"I ran away once, you said you could regroup. I listened to you. But this time, do you want me to run away for the second time? This time, where will I send another army of 200,000 to compete with the Normans?!"

Hulagu's voice was hoarse and a few traces of blood, leaving the Mongolian face speechless. The Ilhan waited for a while and didn't hear a word again. Looking around, there were countless soldiers who were throwing their armor and escaping from them in panic. Behind them were the Normans who were following the harsh faces and followed them.

He couldn't help but feel sad and cried, "Oh my God, Changsheng!" Then, under the gaze of the extremely surprised Mongolian beauty, he pulled out his scimitar. Then he slashed at his neck without hesitation.

Amid the shouts of the Mongolian people shouting: "Khan!", a generation of hero Xulaigu fell.

However, the Normans' offensive continued. They received the order from Marshal Ers. The Marshal asked them to pursue, pursue, and pursue again. It would be best to capture or kill all of these enemies. In this way, there would be no power to stop his army in this area. He would contribute the entire Near East to Emperor Norman!

Originally, after the Fourth Crusade, the Mongol Westward Expedition, the Black Death, the rise of the Ilkhanate... the entire Near East region had withered to the extreme. At this moment, with the crazy pursuit of the Norman Empire, Marshal Ers was convinced that this place would have to wait for dozens or even hundreds of years to restore the densely populated and prosperous scene.

But this is not necessarily a bad thing for the Norman Empire. After all, these places are traditional Arab settlements. The second most people are Greeks who believe in Orthodoxism. Under different religions, managing these lands is a very energy-consuming and headache-inducing problem. Perhaps it would be a good idea to push everything down. Then rebuild it.

In this way, the Normans kept chasing the defeated soldiers of the Ilkhanate for a day and night, forcing them back to Jerusalem. However, in Jerusalem, they could not hold on for too long. The Norman cavalry who followed defeated the Arabs blocked the city gate. Then they rushed into the city and destroyed the slings that were pulling the door.

Jerusalem, the capital of the Ilkhanate, is also likely to be the most closely guarded city of this Khanate so far. It fell in a short time.

The holy land of Jerusalem returns to the control of the Norman Empire. The chosen Messiah Egir Scadra Grimson once again completed a holy trace.

With the remnant power of victory, Marshal Ers continued to advance to various regions of Palestine. He sent Norman Hussars to wander around, hunting down the fleeing Arabs, and also told the nearby villages. He asked them to recognize the rule of the Norman Empire - which was actually very easy. In the battle of the outskirts of Jerusalem, a total of 300,000 Ilhan** teams disappeared. Ilhan Hulagu committed suicide. Should he also expect those unarmed people to resist the Normans' iron hooves?

After sending the letter, Marshal Ers thought for a moment and made such a decision. He ordered his army to remain unmoved and to continue to move northward to attack the Syrian region. He gave these soldiers a task and asked them to bring a lot of trophy from the Ilkhanate that they could serve as evidence to prove to the Syrian defenders that their army had failed.

The marshal asked these Hussars to attack the Syrian region. But don't attack forcibly. He just showed proof to force the defenders there to surrender voluntarily.

"Antou, Damascus, and Aleppo. No matter which of these three cities, you must capture at least one. It is best to be Antioch, followed by Damascus. Do you understand?" Before going to the expedition, Marshal Ess told the Hussar commanders of his goal. The city of Antioch, which is adjacent to the Mediterranean and has many Christians, is indeed the best choice. Damascus, the capital of the Ilkhanate, is also a good city. As for Aleppo, the military fortress is of the third goal. The Marshal felt that this arrangement was very reasonable.

On April 15, 1015 AD, after more than a month of waiting, the Marshal received a reply from Emperor Norman. The Emperor praised his series of military operations and asked him to carry out a strategy for the Arabian Peninsula and Syria as soon as possible. At the same time, the Mesopotamian region cannot be let go.

"As for the Persians, you don't have to think too much. I have sent envoys to the present Persian emperor to communicate. The promise I gave him was to use the Euphrates as the dividing line between the two countries. At the same time, I also support their strategy for the north, the Caspian Sea, and the south of the Caucasus. In exchange for the empire's occupation of the Caspian Sea, the north of the Caucasus and the west of the Euphrates.

I hope we can reach a covenant with the Persians. After all, we are all fighting against an enemy, the Mongols. Trade with the Persians is also a very important diplomatic activity.

Therefore, I hope you can maintain restraint. When conquering the Ilkhanate, don’t have too many conflicts with the Persians. Of course, if things really happen, I want you to clean up your hands and feet."

After receiving the emperor's reply, Marshal Ers understood everything he had to do. He divided his 200,000 army into three parts, a group of not many, but the elite soldiers hired many Arab guides to advance towards the Arabian Peninsula.

The other troops were divided into two parts. The marshal personally led the main force to the Mesopotamia area and seized the west of the Euphrates River. The remaining troops went to Syria to treat the remnants of the Ilkhanate that had not yet been surrendered. He was also wary of Ottoman Türkiye, which may launch an attack.

In this way, the battle in the Near East came to an end. The Normans won the victory, and the next were some trivial small-scale battles and the matter of sending officials to govern. At the same time, the real war broke out in the Kazan region... (To be continued)!~!
