Section 985 Attack on Constantinople (7)

The war is still in full swing!

Besieged on all sides and attacked on all sides, the Byzantines were terrified, but they were still strong, making it difficult for the Tang army to do anything.

After all, the Byzantines understood in their hearts that the Dons wanted to get Constantinople, they were too greedy and wanted everything.

Then let them trade their lives!

Most of the people in the Tang Army are foreigners, for a green card, for national treatment, for the sake of future generations, they are also quite hard, they have strict military discipline and can obey military orders and treat death as home...... It is not so easy for those who really have the courage to charge in front, if they do not have a strong will, they face the black oil of the enemy.

The shouts of killing were loud, and the two sides fought fiercely up and down the city walls.

A section of the city wall station, several Byzantines carried a large stone, ready to be used to smash the Tang army

The battlements in front of them were bare, and they had long been bombarded by various blows, and several ladders had been set up in this gap.

The Byzantines found a ladder and threw the boulder out with great force, satisfying to hear the screams below.

Before they could get complacent, a bag of things flew above their heads, and their faces twisted with a loud "boom"!

Even if they were wearing heavy armor and masks, nothing actually hurt them, but a huge wave of air blew them into the part of the outer city wall near the city.

The people in this area were blown away by the air waves, and there was a large area of emptiness, and immediately the Tang army rushed to the city wall from the cloud ladder!

He was overjoyed, as long as the first person to enter the city would return alive and return alive, he would be credited with great merit, and the small soldiers would also immediately rise to become at least six-rank officers, effective immediately! Moreover, this kind of person will enter the sight of the high-level and train him, and it is very likely that he will continue to rise.

He was immediately warmly "welcomed" by the Byzantines in the inner city: he was beaten with arrows!

Up and down, left and right, there are arrows flying everywhere, and the benefits of the inner city are here.

Taking advantage of this moment, the frightened Byzantines rushed to the gap with Changrou, and Changrou stabbed the soldier indiscriminately, and the sound of "clanging" metal impact, several Changrou stabbed on him without piercing the armor! But the force of the many's thrust lifted the soldier backwards, and the man staggered, and was overturned and fell on his back.

There are no buttresses in the back!

He let out a frightened scream, and then heard a muffled "bang" hitting the ground.

A moment later, another soldier jumped up, and he saw a large group of pikemen guarding the wall, shouting with red eyes, "Long live the Tang Dynasty!" ”

He has a high nose and deep eyes, this is a big cannibal, he speaks Tang language that is not fluent, his eyes are red, he pounces on him with a sword and shield regardless of his life, and rushes very fast, and the Byzantines in front are chopped over by him with a knife. The big cannibal was stabbed to the ground by the rebels a moment later, and the Byzantines screamed and surrounded them, stabbing wildly at their feet with knives and guns, and there was a sound of "ding ding ding", and I saw blood splashing in the crowd, and some of the soldiers were covered in flesh and blood.

A number of Tang soldiers successfully reached the summit and fought with the Byzantines, and both sides slashed desperately, swords and spears on the armor like the sound of blacksmiths striking iron.

The Tang soldiers were very brave and well-equipped, and their swords and shields were stronger than those of the Byzantines, and the opponent's swords and guns were difficult to hurt them, so they had the upper hand.

Seeing that the side was inferior, a large number of powerful arrows were shot in the inner city, breaking the armor, blood splashed, and the Tang soldiers and soldiers were shot squarely, and they all lay down.

But they will not be lonely on the road, and with them will also die the Byzantines, who were shot by mistake by their own people.

The Byzantines, who had regained the breakthrough, immediately used black oil, and the vats of black oil were poured down, and then a torch was thrown, and the flames and black smoke rose together, and a terrible scream was heard below.

The "Greek fire" used by the Byzantines was very effective against sieges, and it would burn when it touched people and things, and it could not be extinguished at all.

Escape quickly to die, the threat of fire oil is too great, once burned, if you don't die, you are disabled, at least you are broken!

Under the oil and oil, many ladders were burned on fire.

Coupled with the smashing of rolling logs and masonry on the city walls, as well as bows and arrows, the smell of blood and burnt paste diffused in a shout.

But the Tang army also used colors, bows and arrows, throwing stones, flying thunder cannons, and rockets, throwing money at all, and the flying thunder cannons smashed into the densely guarded defenders, and immediately blood and flesh were splashed, and a group of people panicked and dodged. There are also stone projectiles flying sideways and hitting the wall battlements, which is even more lethal!

Although the city wall is also spacious, the place is still limited, the soldiers who desperately resist the Tang army's siege are very dense (the number is too small and easy to be broken through by the Tang army, and the Tang army is better than the Byzantines in a single P), the stones at the battlements are hit hard, large and small debris fly around, even if they are fully armored, the soldiers are still screaming, and blood seeps out from many places on the body.

Not long after, the Tang soldiers under the city finally dropped the broken ladder by the city wall and retreated like a tide.

The Byzantines on the walls shouted and celebrated, skillfully finding a place to hide... The long-range strike of the Tang army roared!

Catapults... A catapult was nothing to Constantinople, but the volley of hundreds of catapults, round after round, shook the entire city wall.

Thunderbolts, rockets, and shells kept coming into the city, and many houses were smashed and destroyed, as if they had been earthquaked, and they were in ruins!

。。。

The sky suddenly brightened, and the light that caught the eyes of the Byzantines dimmed.

Everyone, look at it, my M, the rockets flying in the sky are coming like a swarm of angry bumblebees!

It is not known how many rockets were fired by the Don Army.

Well, the exact number is 10,000!

After hitting the ground, they exploded, some exploded in the air, and even the houses collapsed.

As a result of the salvo from four directions, the firing range reached a mile, and the city was bombed everywhere.

When they hit the ground, the huge black smoke that exploded and rose looked like a mushroom cloud!

The city is shaking, and the military and civilians are terrified!

Caught in a dire strait, there will never be peace, and nowhere is a happy land.

When the dust settled, the Byzantines found that their beautiful city had been destroyed in many places, including the motorsports arena that they were proud of was not small (it was exactly modeled after the Roman Colossium Arena, but about 40 meters longer than the Roman Colosseum, with many columns, marble and bronze statues, an ancient obelisk from Egypt in the center, a sand-paved racing track that could accommodate eight carriages, and a surrounding grandstand that could accommodate tens of thousands of spectators).

The pillars were shattered, and the marble and bronze statues were separated...

Elsewhere there is also devastation, with people with dull faces, mechanically disposing of garbage and dead people...
