Chapter 160: The Sunset of Basil I

his own fate, he still wants to fight with fate.

Basil I, wielding his sword, said to his men: "The glory of the Roman Empire is in your hands, you can give up this place and become a wanderer, or you can die a glorious death, so that the glory of Christianity will be preserved by you." ”

The torch of civilization has been lit in the East, and the glory of science also belongs to the Tang Dynasty, to the Eastern Roman Empire, only the empty city wall.

From the offensive of the Don army, Basil I judged that the Don army was much more numerous than himself.

Basil I sprayed Greek fire at the siege troops of the Tang army, but he did not expect that Greek fire was also sprayed from the siege towers of the Tang army, and their Greek fire was even more fierce.

The fighters of the Don Army felt that the storming of Constantinople was just around the corner.

From the ladder erected under the siege tower, countless Tang troops climbed.

These men climbed the city walls by ladders, and they fought the defenders of the Eastern Roman Empire with their swords.

The soldiers of the Don army broke through the outer walls and entered the middle ground between the inner and outer walls.

The banner of the Tang Dynasty fluttered in the sky over Constantinople, a city that was said to never fall, and it seemed that it was about to fall into the hands of the Tang army.

The Tang army turned Constantinople into an isolated city, and the reinforcements that volunteered from all over the Eastern Roman Empire were blocked, cut off and routed by the Tang army.

The super combat effectiveness of the Tang Army was far from being understood by the weak mercenaries and citizen troops of the Eastern Roman Empire.

Under the command of Tang Zhangwei and Bai Cunxiao, batch after batch of Tang Army soldiers entered the empty space between the outer and inner walls.

The numerical superiority of the Tang army made it possible for an Eastern Roman Empire unit to deal with four or even five Tang soldiers, and the combat effectiveness of a single Tang soldier far exceeded that of the Eastern Roman Empire's army.

Relying on the advantages of quantity and quality, the Tang army climbed the city wall, and then jumped into the blank area in groups.

Bai Cunxiao brandished a spear, and Wei Youji kept shooting arrows on the watchtower on the outer wall.

The armies of the Eastern Roman Empire had been defeated by the Tang army, and they hoped for victory, but unfortunately the reality was so cruel that they had to endure the threat of defeat.

Emperor Basil of the Eastern Roman Empire knew that once the Tang army completely defeated these defending armies, he would be finished.

Thinking of his body being trampled by 10,000 people, he immediately felt bad.

At this time, Prince Leo had quietly opened the gates of the inner city.
