"..." Shu Yichao glanced at the toy car and fell into deep thought.

"Four-wheel drive?"

"In this case, let's forget it."

..............................

"It went incredibly smoothly."

On the other side, Constantine XI, who was leading the Crusaders, let out a heartfelt sigh.

The emperor of Norma certainly knew what kind of ragtag group he led.

They may be motivated by a moment of fanaticism, but their spiritual enthusiasm cannot cover up their low combat effectiveness.

Except for a few mercenaries with a bit of military appearance, the rest can only be called armed mobs at best.

The Thracian plain is not safe either. In addition to the violent Osman immigrants walking in various strongholds, there may also be Osman riders who come and go like the wind at any time.

On the way forward, Constantine XI had been worried that his crusaders would reveal their true colors after encountering setbacks and collapse like the "Poor People's Crusade" in history.

However, what Constantine XI was worried about has not even a shadow until now.

Not only did they not encounter a head-on attack from Osman's cavalry, but they were on the march with great momentum, and the people were eating pots of pulp to meet the king's division.

Those Norma remnants who had lived in the Thracian plain for generations and suffered from heavy tax exploitation and heavy labor by the Osmans came to vote one after another after seeing the emperor's purple double-headed eagle flag.

As a result, the troops under Constantine XI rapidly expanded from the 1 people before departure to 4 to [-] people - and most of them were young adults.

This is not surprising, in order to support the huge army of the Osman Sultan, the high salaries of the pasha and the emir, and the extravagant and luxurious life of the Sultan himself...

The pagans under their command will of course be stripped of every last coin in their pockets.

Not long ago, in order to cast the supreme cannon, gather a huge army to storm Constantinople, and build a luxurious and magnificent palace——

They imposed excessive levies and expropriations, causing countless families to be destroyed and killed. The purpose was to destroy the holy city in their hearts. Naturally, the people were filled with resentment.

But the final result turned out to be that the Sultan himself died tragically, and the 20-strong army was completely defeated...

In this case, if you don't rush to add insult to injury, follow His Majesty the Emperor to deal with the Osmans severely and let out a bad breath, what are you waiting for?

"They said that they felt inspired by the boundless power of our Lord and came to participate in the jihad."

Constantine XI said to Mrs. Marty, dumbfounded.

"Do you think this is credible?"

"It's completely unbelievable." Mrs. Marty's face also looked a little speechless.

"I think they were more frightened by the boundless force of our Caesar."

"So come and join the jihad to keep us safe."

The Crusaders have not fought a single battle so far. The reason why they are so unstoppable——

Just look at the Osman towns and castles that were razed to the ground, the piles of hills-like buildings in the capital, and the remains hanging from the trees floating in the wind, and you will have a clear picture.

The Osmans on the Thracian plain were almost killed by Shu Yichao, who set out ahead of them!

Originally, Shu Yichao wanted to attack Adrianople at lightning speed.

But the Osmans along the way made him unhappy.

How many dishes, drunk like this - dare to hit me?

Am I weak in your eyes?

Shu Yichao immediately changed his primary goal.

Let’s get rid of all these blind guys first.

As a result, the Osman strongholds scattered on the Thracian plain, dozens of small fortresses, and the defeated troops on the front line were all pushed cleanly.

"It's so quiet." Shu Yichao joked during the march: "There is no one on the plain."

Chapter 30 - Kneel down first in respect

The Osman Empire's reaction to Shu Yichao's bloodbath all the way to the Thracian plain was...

no response.

In order to gather forces to attack Constantinople, the city that the world longs for, Mumona used almost all of her available mobile forces.

And to show her determination to win, she also moved almost her entire court to the front.

As a result, when Sultan Mumona herself was killed and the 20 troops under her command were completely defeated, these nobles in the palace could not escape even if they wanted to.

With the bonus of Shu Yichao's [Night Fighter] talent and the energetic potion with the friendly support of System 12345, the elite cavalry can hunt down the Osmans day and night.

But these pampered nobles cannot escape day and night.

As a result, most of them became Shu Yichao's financial support.

Therefore, when they heard that Sultan Mumona was defeated at the gates of Constantinople, the entire Osman Empire was like an immortal snake with its head cut off, paralyzed and unable to move.

A few days later, the remaining pillars of the Osman Empire finally reacted.

And have a clear understanding of who are our enemies and who are our friends.

They started fighting among themselves at the first opportunity and became a mess.

Because according to the barbaric inheritance law of the Osman Empire, anyone who ascends to the throne of the Sultan will usually have all his brothers and sisters executed!

In the history of the Osman Empire, there was a sultan who openly declared.

"You can't decide how many children your father has, but you can decide how many brothers and sisters you will have after you succeed to the throne!"

So when the news of Mumona's tragic death under the Western Wall of Constantinople reached Adrianople, a group of orphans and widows she left behind expressed their opinions -

Revenge for the Sultan can be put on hold for a while.

But there is no way to slow down the killing of other princes and princesses!

As for why beautiful girls and beautiful girls can have children - this is a different world, it's normal, isn't it?

In this way, several sons and daughters of Mumona immediately used force to decide the outcome and began a vigorous civil war.

Although they are all very young, the eldest is only eight years old, and the youngest is still in his infancy.

But it doesn't matter, I can let the royal concubines and uncles take care of this matter for me.

In addition, Mumona was too young and had never thought about cultivating heirs. As a result, the strength of the imperial concubines and their supporters was basically the same.

The battle naturally became extremely fierce.

The skies above Adrianople were filled with the clash of swords, dying cries, and explosions of gunpowder. The palace and barracks were in flames, and the streets and urban areas were littered with death.

Later, the armies of all parties gradually lost control and turned into outright bandits and robbers, only knowing destruction, killing and looting.

Adrianople, which had been extremely prosperous in the past, was almost reduced to ashes.

In this case, who would care about what happened on the Thracian plain?

We are discussing a national matter such as who will be the Sudan. You untouchable soldiers should not bother us with such trivial matters as the fact that they are about to die, okay?

So when Shu Yichao arrived, what he saw was Adrianople's flames rising into the sky, all forces mingling together, people coming and going, participating in the grand event.

"What's going on?" Shu Yichao felt baffled.

"Could it be that the Norma people in the city are rebelling against the Osmans?"

He glanced at the big map: "That's not right either. The Norma people are green dots, but these are all red dots."

Just as Shu Yichao rushed to Adrianople, several envious parties in the city also noticed him immediately——

And the highly recognizable elite cavalry under his command.

In the side hall of a certain palace in Adrianople City, several nobles gathered together despite the thick smoke billowing outside and the loud shouts of killing.

"Brother, according to the news, the Norma people's double-headed eagle flag has arrived outside the city."

The second princess held her ignorant son in her arms and spoke nervously and anxiously.

"what should we do?"

"Although the third imperial concubine, the fourth imperial concubine, several other concubines, the young prince and several princesses have all been killed."

"But we still can't get it from the Grand Princess."

"And the Fifth Princess is still insisting..."

"Under such circumstances, the Norma people came."

"It's such a terrible situation."

"What do the Norma people have to worry about?" an officer with a beard and a scimitar dripping with blood, who seemed to have just withdrawn from a fight, said with a somewhat unclear voice.

"Nothing more than a chaotic mob."

"I will take dozens of people there and defeat them with one charge."

"That's not a Norma!" Kalega Pasha, Osman's second uncle and brother of the second imperial concubine, slapped him on the back of the head and shouted angrily.

"That's the Khitan!"

"It's just that their leader is now Caesar of Norma."

"It's not like you haven't seen the Khitans destroy their supply lines before."

"A dozen people can chase nearly a hundred of us and beat them."

"Are dozens of people going to compete with the Khitans? If you want to return to the embrace of the true God so quickly, I have a scimitar here that I can lend to you for free."

"Please don't lead our few soldiers to die!"

The bearded officer Osman quickly shut up.

"How many people are here?" Kalega Pasha asked the soldiers who came to report.

"Maybe seven or eight hundred, or maybe thousands." The Osman soldier who came back to report the news quickly answered.

"Unable to confirm."

"Anyone who dared to get close was shot to death by the Khitan leader opposite."

"A hundred steps away, he was shot in the eye socket!"

The soldier still had a look of horror on his face: "The arrow went in through the eye, and then came out from the back of the head!"

"too frightening!"

"The Khitans are simply devils!"

"1000 people!?" The second princess was stunned.

Although she didn't know much about military affairs, she knew from previous information that the Khitans were extremely ferocious, and even Osman's most powerful warriors could not match them.

The soldiers under his command even got into a fight over whether one Khitan could fight three of them or five.

Calculated, wouldn't it be equivalent to three to four thousand yenichili coming from outside the city now?

How can the small amount of troops in the city be able to defeat these brutal guys?

"Can the city gate be closed?" the second princess said with a pale face.

She is very insecure now.

"It can't be closed." An officer lamented.

"The fourth princess brought in several artillery pieces and bombarded the city gates. It couldn't be repaired in a short time."

"..." The second princess looked at her brother, hoping that he would come up with a solution quickly.

"A thousand Khitans, a thousand Khitans..." Kalega Pasha paced back and forth, thinking hard.

But no matter how much I think about it, I can't think of a way to defeat these thousand Khitans.

After thinking for a while, he raised his head and said.

"How about negotiating a peace?"

Chapter 31-Only more outrageous

"Ah?" The officers looked at Kalega Pasha in confusion, as if they couldn't believe that this was the method he came up with.
