Riots poured out of Constantinople and counterattacked Rome in Adrianople under the leadership of the archangel Michael......

Uh, Eastern Roman legions.

In short, this army, which totaled more than 10,000 people, including the real army and armed civilians, did not have to go to Adrianople, two hundred kilometers away, when in fact they were confronted by the Ottoman army less than fifty kilometers out of Constantinople, and it was led by Murad I himself.

However, there are not many people in the latter.

At this time, the Ottoman Empire was not really a great power, in fact, it was only the peninsula of Asia Minor, which had only recently seized the Thracian region of the Byzantines, and had just experienced an internal strife, and soon they had to face the rising Timurid Empire in the east. Timur the Cripple had already rebelled, and soon he would take control of Western Chagatai and then establish the Timurid Empire and embark on the road of expansion, and even later captured the Ottoman emperor and played with his wife in front of him, and then this guy to death. The reason why Murad I went all out to expand into Europe and even changed the name of Adrianople to Edirne, and then made this city the capital of the empire, was because it was safer, no matter how powerful the enemy in the east was, after crossing the peninsula of Asia Minor, basically no longer able to cross the Bosphorus, as for the Christians in Europe......

He really didn't pay attention to this waste.

He didn't plan to take Constantinople this time just because it was unnecessary, and the cost was too high, he controlled all the surrounding lands, and what if he didn't fight the remaining Constantinople in his encirclement?

So he only brought 30,000 men.

He just came to scare and force John V to pay tribute to him, in fact, in the original history, John V even had to use soldiers as cannon fodder for him, and the real value of the city lies in commerce, this is the hub of trade between the East and the West, and all the goods from the East along the Silk Road are basically loaded here or on the Black Sea coast locked here, and then transported to Europe by merchant ships. It was a huge fat mass, but it was a bounty for the Venetians, who thought that at least for the time being, they could not afford to provoke the maritime hegemons of this era, whose navy was no joke, and could cut him off at any moment.

However, he did not expect John V to send troops to counterattack.

"Angels?"

Murad I said with a sneer.

The mighty army of Sheng Zhan coming across from him was stopping, and then lined up with a huge cross as the core, behind the cross was the double eagle banner, it should be said that John V still had a certain strength, the core of this army was nearly a thousand heavily armored cavalry, as well as about three thousand archers and crossbowmen, and three thousand more armored infantry, which was almost the army of Constantinople.

John V had less than 10,000 troops in total.

And there were a lot of mercenaries he had hired from elsewhere at his expense, and the money was of course borrowed from the Venetians, and the bankers were already at the mercy of the war at this time.

The remaining 3,000 are miscellaneous believers.

But this is not the most important thing, the most important thing is a large four-wheeled carriage behind the cross and the double eagle banner, on which is a throne that has been moved from nowhere, and on the throne is a white-robed man with his wings folded, John V in golden armor on one side, and Patriarch Constantine in white robes on the other.

It's an angel!

The Ottoman soldiers in formation looked at each other.

Obviously they were a little scared.

After all, they were also afraid of Michael.

Murad signaled, and a group of elders next to him immediately stepped forward, and immediately began to read the scriptures, and the infantry immediately fell to their knees, and the cavalry also dismounted and fell to their knees, not fearing that the Byzantines on the opposite side would take advantage of the attack, because the latter were doing similar things. Patriarch Constantine personally stepped forward and led a group of priests to sprinkle holy water for the soldiers who were about to read the scriptures, and those Byzantine soldiers also knelt down to pray, saying that the scene of the two armies kneeling opposite each other a few hundred meters apart was also spectacular.

"What a hassle!"

Yang Feng said speechlessly.

At this time, he was the only one sitting on the throne, although the Patriarch of Constantine was a little dazed, but he didn't dare to question him, after all, as an archangel, it was also heaven second only to Yahweh, and some privileges were normal.

He then stood up and spread his wings instantly.

The soldiers around him immediately worshiped excitedly, and in their worship, Yang Feng slowly stepped out of the carriage, and then grabbed down very casually, and a sand dune on the sandy land next to him immediately bulged upward, and melted and condensed in the bulging, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into a huge turbid glass ball with a diameter of one meter, like a balloon, rising with the movement of his hand.

"Prepare to attack!"

He said to John V and the generals who were watching from the sidelines.

Before these people could answer, he soared into the sky with this huge glass ball, and disappeared from people's vision in an instant, and the two armies who were praying on the battlefield all raised their heads and looked up at the sky in amazement, and suddenly a faint point of light in the sky fell, and it became clearer and faster. The praying soldiers did not care to pray, but stood up and looked up at the sky, and the point of light grew faster and clearer like a meteor, and all of them, including Murad and John, looked up at the spectacle, not knowing what it meant.

They are even marveling at it.

At an altitude of 300 meters, under the dual effects of gravity and jet power, Yang Feng, whose speed could reach three times the speed of sound, suddenly threw the glass ball with all his strength and then pulled it up in an instant, and at the moment when he almost passed over the head of the Ottomans, the huge glass ball accurately hit a rock protruding from the ground in the Ottoman formation at nearly four times the speed of sound. The next moment, the shattered glass and shattered rock spread out in a ring with a clear shockwave in the loud sound of the sky cracking, and all the fragments, regardless of size, shot in all directions at a speed comparable to that of a bullet, and just around the landing point, the Ottomans were knocked upside down by the air wave and flew out, and at the same time, these fragments also densely penetrated their bodies and the bodies of more of their companions.

Before Murad I, who was more than a hundred meters away from the landing point, he was hit in the face by a gravel the size of a coin, which instantly pierced his head and flew out with blood and brains piercing the chain mail behind him.

Then a torrent of sand and dust flooded him.

"Kill, for the glory of the Lord!"

Yang Feng, who fell back into the carriage, waved the red spear-shaped cross and roared.

John V suddenly came to his senses.

"Kill, for the glory of the Lord!"

He drew his sword and roared madly as he pointed forward......

All that's left is to destroy the withering and decaying, or it can be said to beat the water dogs!

Before the Byzantine cavalry could rush over, the Ottomans, who had come to their senses from the shock, did not hesitate to begin to flee, although the glass bullet actually killed and wounded at most a thousand people, but this supernatural force broke their will in an instant. The frightened Ottomans trampled on their own feet, desperately fleeing from this terrible place like madness, they did not have the courage to turn back at all, and then they were chased and trampled under the hooves of their horses by the heavy cavalry of the Byzantines, or cut down to the ground by the surging Byzantine infantry from behind, and even the miscellaneous believers joined in the pursuit.

The hunt did not finally stop until Adrianople, by which time John V had a full army of 100,000.

Although the vast majority are civilians.

But it is true that some real armies are coming under the leadership of those minor lords.

After all, this is the territory of the Christians, Murad I only occupied Adrianople this year, and he didn't have time to care about them, including some small lords who just accepted the submission, and the feudal lords of Eastern Rome in this era were no better than the landlords in the late Ming Dynasty, and it was also very refreshing for these guys to bow their knees to heresy, but now these people have to hurry up and beat the water dogs to show their loyalty to the Lord to the angels.

This is an opportunity to atone for sins.

They have surrendered to heresy, and if they don't do it, they will go to hell.

Yang Feng generously pardoned their sins on behalf of Yahweh, and then smashed down the walls of Adrianople with a glass ball, and he was not responsible for the rest, John V's 100,000 army rushed in, accompanied by the desperate breakthrough of the Ottomans in the city, the Eastern Roman Empire survived, and under the leadership of the archangel, recaptured this city that was vital to Constantinople.

Then Yang Feng returned to Heaven with satisfaction at the center of worship of countless believers......

He didn't care about the rest.

The angel descends and is only responsible for the big things, as for the remaining small things to do, what is the use of those believers if the angels have to do it themselves?

In fact, John V's troubles were far from over, although he recaptured Adrianople, both the Gallipoli Peninsula and Salonica, which also belonged to him, were still under Ottoman occupation at this time, and because of the huge disparity in strength between the two sides and the intrigues of those within him, he still did not have the ability to counterattack these places without Yang Feng.

And he also has no money to counterattack.

Anyway, he does have an army that is not weak, but these troops have to spend money, this is a mercenary, and the harvest of his victory in the counterattack on Adrianople has just been able to repay a few due loans from the Venetians, what's wrong with you with angels, you can't pay off debts with angels, and you have to pay off the Pope's debts. If he dares not to pay it back, then the Venetian will knock on the door, saying that two kilometers away from his palace is the concession of Venice, so Yang Feng did give this dying empire a dose of rejuvenation, but once the effect of the medicine has passed, it is still the same, this is still a dying body.

But......

It's all about the!

He's here to make a soy sauce.

He has to hurry next, and does he have to be responsible for John V? Don't be funny, he's not John V's wet nurse.
