Byzantine Reconquest of Egypt (Great War Redone)

Lead up to War
The Mameluke Dynasty had been ruling Egypt since 1250,the Byzantines had lost the city in the year 850, after Egyptian Arabs revolted, this led to every Byzantine Emperor wanting to reconquer the province. The Mameluke's had recently failed to conquer the Sultanate of Mecca, which made the Byzantine high command realize that the Mameluke's were in a weak spot and if they ever wanted to conquer Egypt again now was the perfect time.

May
On May 17th the first Byzantine regiments crossed the border under the leadership of Leonidus Spantanious, he was only given 50,000 men for the invasion and marched towards the city of Beirut, the Battle of Beirut would last a mere hour as inferior Egyptian troops were crushed by Leonidus and his men, this led to them capturing most of present day Lebanon and marching south towards Damascus.

Battle of Damascus
On May 21st the Byzantine army arrived at Damascus, a garrison of 34,000 Mameluke troops were guarding the city, this allowed a rapid destruction of Mameluke forces and the death of Grand Marshall Bast Ammon.

June
Following the capture of Damascus the Byzantine army moved further south, engaging the weakened Mamelukes at the Battle of Tel-Aviv-Yafo, already the Byzantines were outnumbered, but they had a much more coordinated army and were able to crush the Egyptians superior numbers, this led to a rapid capture of Jerusalem which there was little fighting, and Egyptian forces being expelled from the Levant.

Sinai Campaign
Throughout the rest of June the Byzantine army would rapidly advance through Sinai, losing around 750 men compared to the Egyptian loses of over 9,000, this forced the Mameluke's abandon Sinai, and fall back to Cairo.

July
For the final weeks of the war the Byzantines would capture Cairo with very low casualties, many Egyptian soldier mutinied and fled the Battlefields leading to the city of Alexandria, this was followed by a massive Mameluke army engaging the Byzantines outside the city, due to the order to fight to the death all 15,000 Egyptians were encircled and killed, and Alexandria fell after, the Sultan committed Suicide to avoid capture.
