Chapter 570

The most controversial place in the world is undoubtedly Jerusalem. For those who killed the Western Expeditionary Army, it was just a rich city. Other than worthless, but for Judaism, Christianity, and *** religion. Jerusalem has endless value! For thousands of years, they have fought for the right place to belong to the city.

Jinding Temple, Silver Dome Temple! Towering Mount of Olives! Wailing Wall! Temple Mount! The Way of the Cross! One name after another, representing the place of faith of one religious believer after another. When these places come together, the power of faith bursts out of its cruel side.

In order to fight for the holy city, countless people sacrificed their blood and lives for it. Superstition and the sword reign here, and it will continue for thousands of years!

Jerusalem! The most holy place!

Jerusalem! The bloodiest place!

Yun Hao saw that on the armor and shields of the knights, there was a huge red cross.

These were the legendary Templars, one of the most ferocious knights of the Middle Ages. The three major knights of the Western world, these people are wearing heavy armor. Fighting in the name of the gods, they charged on the battlefield brandishing their spears. What a nightmare for how many infantry!

It's a pity that these brave knights encountered the army of the Tang Empire, although Yun Hao's command was not the most elite cavalry in the Tang Dynasty. But Yun Hao still has a way to deal with them!

The fire burned their armor. The former battlefield has left a black mark. It was human oil that had penetrated into the sand, and the smell was very unpleasant.

Fortunately, the wind was blowing towards Jerusalem, and Yun Hao didn't need to smell the smell of human oil, which was a good thing for Yun Hao.

The field battle was lost, and no one came out of Jerusalem again. It seems that you want to hold on to the strong walls.

Throughout history, Jerusalem has changed hands many times, and each generation of owners has worked hard to build walls that can withstand any attack. Therefore, what appeared in front of Yun Hao was a city wall more than ten or twenty zhang high. This is fucking higher than the walls of Chang'an City, and you have to climb it for a while to climb up the ladder.

Yun Hao scratched his head a little when he looked at such a city wall, it was too damn high. With the level of construction in these years, such a high wall can be built. It also proves that this wall is fucking thick enough!

After setting up camp, he heard the sound of chanting in the city. I didn't understand any language, but the sound was intermittent, as if it was drifting into my ears with the wind. It felt like someone was humming a tune and mosquitoes crawling inside the ears. Very uncomfortable!

The servants began to dig the trench, and the excavated earth was piled up on one side, and large stones were placed on the outside of the trench irregularly. These are all magic weapons against cavalry, and Yun Hao once used such tactics to successfully contain the Turkic cavalry. Now, using him against the Knights should also work.

Behind the trenches, a number of crossbowmen were arranged. Although the armor of the knights is strong, the Tang strong crossbow is not a vegetarian. Today I want to take a look, whether it is the powerful crossbow of the Tang Dynasty or the armor of the knights.

When the wind blew on the walls of Jerusalem in the night. It makes a "woo" and "woo" sound, and it sounds like a ghost crying. Regardless of the nasty sound, Yun Hao slept well wrapped in a blanket. The city has been conquered many times, but each time it has been a protracted siege battle of the corpse mountain and the river of blood.

The Western Expeditionary Army of the Tang Dynasty could not afford to kill so many people, and one or two thousand people killed in the battle would cost Yun Hao's life. Tens of thousands of people died in the war, and even if they go back after winning the battle, they will be impeached into a sieve by the imperial history.

The Yun family is not afraid of impeachment in the imperial history, and the Tang Dynasty has no precedent for deposing the victor. But Yun Hao was really afraid to hear that heart-rending cry! The woman wept and stopped your horse, and asked for a son for a husband. Little children beat your carriage and cry out to your father.

Ever since the Battle of Shuofang City, Yun Hao had sworn that he would never want to hear that again.

When it was dawn, the Knights did not launch any night attacks. Perhaps they also knew that the night raid would not work for this team that had come from afar. And it will greatly damage the team they attack!

The siege began, and the only two guns were pushed out. The range of the artillery was five miles, but Yun Hao was not sure. The trebuchets at the head of Jerusalem could not attack the artillery with the advantage of height.

The distance of five miles is definitely the maximum range of artillery, above this range. It is very difficult to ensure that the projectile is launched, but it is very difficult to accurately hit the target.

Although it was difficult to hit the target, Yun Hao still ordered the artillery to fire at this distance.

With a loud bang, the cannonballs roared and flew towards the city walls. Hitting the city wall, the rubble flew indiscriminately, and the smoke filled the air, but after the smoke of gunpowder, Yun Hao found it sadly. The shells just made a small hole in the wall, even if each shell hit the same point. If you want to gnaw through this wall, you need to have the spirit of Yugong moving mountains.

Yun Hao didn't want to be a fool, so he had no choice but to let the artillery move forward. Hopefully you can attack the city gates!

The artillery had barely moved forward for less than a mile when a large number of black objects were smashed down on the city walls. These black things can actually explode, but luckily they are far away from the artillery. However, the explosion set off a wave of air that knocked a gunner on his heel.

It seems that the Great Cannibal also did not learn technical secrecy. The secret of gunpowder, I'm afraid, is no longer a secret in the West. Thankfully, the production process of nitro gunpowder was too complex. The cannibal spies didn't steal it, otherwise Datang would have no advantage in front of them.

The artillery was withdrawn, and Yun Hao looked at Jerusalem in the distance and began to worry.

Fill it with people, Yun Hao is reluctant. Although there are many people in Datang, the lives of people in Datang are precious. It must not be pushed into this kind of flesh mill to grind!

Dig tunnels! It is true that it is not necessary to kill so many people, but God knows how thick the walls of Jerusalem are. Besides, it takes at least ten days and half a month to dig this tunnel. Yun Hao didn't have time, so he inked here with them.

When the food in their city is eaten, this is even more impossible. It is very difficult to supply this ghost place, and the food in the city has not been eaten, so I am afraid that the Tang army outside the city may have starved to death.

This doesn't work, that doesn't work, Yun Hao is like a cat looking at a small dried fish hanging from a high place. No matter how much you jump, you can't reach your beloved food.

"Let the airship go up and have a look!" Yun Hao, who was helpless, could only let the airship reconnoiter first to see what kind of monster this Jerusalem wall was.

In order to ensure the effectiveness of the investigation, Yun Hao personally got on the airship. There were no anti-aircraft guns and no anti-aircraft missiles in those years. If you want to shoot down the airship flying in the sky, it is basically impossible.

Yun Hao could only see clearly when he got on the airship, and he saw a deep despair. The head of Jerusalem could accommodate two chariots at the same time. This is just the head of the city, if replaced by the bottom. How thick that was, Yun Hao didn't dare to think about it!

Flying over Jerusalem, Yun Hao could be considered to understand. It turned out that inside the gate of Jerusalem, there was also a city of his mother's urns. Even if the Tang people blasted the city gate open with artillery, the army that rushed in would be blocked by the urn city.

When the army got there, it was like going to a slaughterhouse. Especially now that gunpowder weapons are overflowing, those who rush in and come back alive are definitely fatal.

Yun Hao scratched his ears and cheeks and thought about it for a long time, but he didn't figure out what to do.
