In the eyes of later generations, the Caucasus region, located between the Caspian Sea and the Black Sea, seems to be nothing worth noting in the eyes of later generations except the natural dividing line between Asia and Europe.

The smoke of the vigorous Chechen War at the end of the last century had long since dissipated.

But the fact is that since ancient times, this place has been a cruel battlefield where forces at the north and south ends meet.

In history, after the bears became stronger, their conquest of the Caucasus region was conquered by the Ottomans and Persians, fighting one by one, and fighting one by one for a full 200-year war, and blood dyed the entire Caucasus red from north to south.

What about now? As a channel connecting the north and the heavenly world, the Caucasus mountains are naturally the center of the army's strategy.

Here, the revolt encountered by the Army and Qi army did not come from the Seljuks, but from the local natives of the Caucasus region.

Surrounded by this mountainous mountains and overlapping mountains, dozens of tenacious mountain ethnic groups lived. Before Lu Qi entered here, there were small countries in the southern foothills of the Caucasus, and the conflicts between the various ethnic groups were sharp, making it an absolute place of war.

The most powerful one here was the Georgians. At the moment of Lu Qi's establishment, David IV of Georgia united many forces, defeated the Seljuks in the Battle of Diedgri, and regained the Duchy of Sirvan, the Duchy of Transcaucasus occupied by Seljuk and a large area of ​​land in northern Armenia. By the time the Army and Qi army arrived here, the Kingdom of Georgia under Georgia III had become the most powerful country in the Caucasus region, and its influence expanded to the southwest of Persia and the Black Sea coast.

But no matter how powerful they are, facing the resistance of the Lu Qi army, they will only shake the big tree with their arms and block the chariot.

When all forces on the southern foot of the Caucasus faced the strong defeat of the Lu Qi army of the Seljuk Empire, they did not easily choose to surrender. Instead, they chose to resist resolutely.

Nothing for anything else, just for faith!

As a mountain country, the Caucasians are unquestionable, but their military and military preparations are not enough for even the Seljuks.

The split Azerbaijan's principalities were powerless to resist the army and Qi army, and were easily swept across the entire territory. The remaining troops retreated into the Kingdom of Georgia. In addition, some Seljuks and Byzantines in Armenia, and of course the Armenians formed a multi-party coalition, just like they were united by David IV, gathered tightly around Georgia III and resisted resolutely!

The sound of shouts and guns and cannons came in waves. Tens of thousands of soldiers under the command of generals such as Hua Rong, Suo Chao, and Han Wu, many vassals, launched wave after wave of offensives against Georgia III's joint army under the cover of muskets and thunderbolts - that is, small explosive packs wrapped in crossbow arrows.

On the firearm chain in the Luqi army, muskets and thunderbolts, which are absolutely the lowest in power and performance, have now become powerful weapons for the army to crush the Caucasians and show their skills on the battlefield. They have never seen that the firearm is a Caucasian who looks like, and are completely stunned by this evil weapon like a devil.

——Isn’t it evil? The warriors in heavy armor, holding thick shields, were still shot dead by their opponents.

This terrible weapon is so evil.

The war horses were frightened by the sound of explosions, lost control on the battlefield, and fled in scattered areas, causing chaos in the formation of the Caucasians. They gave the cavalry of the Army and Qi army the opportunity to repeatedly attack.

Hua Rong was the main general of this partial division, and Po Han Wu was the deputy general and front-line commander. The vanguard of both the deputy general was the cavalry commander. Under his command were Zhang Bofen, Zhang Zhongxiong, and Li Yanxian and Niu Gao, who had withdrawn from Ross, led a group of elite cavalry and repeatedly attacked the chaotic Caucasian coalition.

The battle that began in the morning was not yet set, and the 40,000 to 50,000 troops gathered by Georgia III were completely defeated by Hua Rong's army, which had only 20,000 infantry and cavalry.

When the defeat began, a large number of Persian light cavalry, the vassal army, pounced on like a wolf, and the one-sided massacre began to take place.

The wide grassland was almost filled with the bodies of the Caucasians! A small river nearby was completely blocked by the bodies, and the river water was almost stained with blood!

At dusk the next day, Georgia III's crown was presented to Hua Rong, with only the crown, whose body had been trampled into meat paste by horse's hooves.

If the Caucasians could live a good life after experiencing this painful lesson, then Lu Qi would be the owner of this land!

Many Caucasians died, so naturally many Caucasians chose to surrender. They were not killed by Hua Rong, and the nobles inside were treated well by Hua Rong.

The upper class of the army was very clear that it was very easy for the Army and Qi army to defeat the Seljuks and Byzantines, to defeat the Crusaders from Western Europe, Azerbaijan, Georgia, and Armenians. But it was not easy to truly rule this land.

As an area where the Monotheistic Church [Orthodox Church] and the Tianfang Church have repeatedly entangled, this land is a major problem in faith. Another is that the southern foothills of the Caucasus with complex terrain, with many ethnic groups and many conflicts with each other. How can this facilitate rule?

Georgia in the north is not bad, Armenia in the south and Azerbaijan in the east are all troublesome.

In this case, it is not a good idea to easily get involved in it. Instead, it is better to let them be ‘autonomous’!

The Armenians who are completely transformed into Armenians, and the Georgians and Azerbaijanis are all nobles. They are enfeoffed to various places to be city lords [General Managers]. The Georgians are in Armenia and Azerbaijans, the Azerbaijans are in Georgia and Armenia, and the Armenians are in Georgia and Azerbaijans, and the Armenians are in Georgia and Azerbaijan, and the Tianfang Cultists are in Georgia and Azerbaijan...

Wu Yong felt that there was no need to deliberately provoke it after doing this, and they could have a great grudge on their own.

What Lu Qi wants local general managers to do is to pay tribute to him every year and provide him with military resources!

In the absence of strength, they can only do this. Just like the choice made by the Mongols in history. Lu Qi is too large today, and in the current era, its power and immigration are not enough to be deployed to all places. Some secondary places, such as the Caucasus, which are destined to have no great development prospects, will naturally be included in the immigration delayed migration form.

Or to put it bluntly, this area is not the focus of the Lu Qi Army. It will only be a historical issue in the future and will be left to those who are the first to explore the power into this area.

That may be Anguo [Lu Wan], or Luoguo [Lu Yu] on the northern foot of the Caucasus.

Just like Hua Rongjun swept the mountainous areas of the southern foot of the Caucasus, the northern foot of the Caucasus was also kneeling down at the swords and guns of Lu Qi's Iron Cavalry. But Lu Yu placed his capital at the mouth of the Volga River, which was constantly distanced from the mountainous areas of the northern foot of the Caucasus.

As soon as this distance is far, control will naturally decrease. However, Lu Yu needs a large area of ​​land, immigrants migrated from the Central Plains, immigrants migrated from the northern and Anxi, as well as his own family background, all of which require a large area of ​​land.
