"Boom!" A loud thunderous bang tore through the silence of the morning in Constantinople,

A Don gunboat on the Sea of Marmara was the first to open fire on the northern walls of Constantinople.

The flock of seabirds fluttered in the air in panic and flew into the distance, and when the sun was rising, the soldiers on both sides of the enemy heard the sound of thunder and watched one after another.

Then, the other guns on the hull also spewed out a sound of fire dragons, shooting directly at Constantinople, and the gunboats next to it plus the Bosphorus Strait, fired together!

The loud sound was combined into a single force, and under the explosion of a large amount of gunpowder, the muzzle of the cannon seemed to breathe fire, and white smoke rose violently! The sound of huge cannons echoed across the sea.

The black powder propelled the projectile and flew towards the wall section, striking it hard.

The walls stand majestically!

At that time, the black powder cannon was not very powerful, and the caliber of the naval gun was also small, killing and injuring the enemy with kinetic energy, hitting the fortifications, it was used for ship battles and could break wood but attacking stone walls was powerless, especially Constantinople, its walls were made of granite, the shells were difficult to shake, and they did not explode, and the hit rate was also low.

The Byzantines were strolling around and standing on the city wall, the probability of hitting was not high, and they could even chat and watch the shells make a parabolic motion in mid-air, and after a while they fell to the ground and flew away, and then they avoided (too slow!). ）。

The sky suddenly burst into black smoke, light, and whistling, and the catapult fired!

This is more powerful than artillery shells, stone shells, fire bombs and chemical shells pierce through the clouds, stone shells are far more fierce than artillery shells, and a hundred pounds of cobblestone fall from the sky! Syllable! Bang...... Splashes of masonry on the city walls. The ejection and splashing of stone slag make people run around (it is still difficult to destroy the head of the city wall, the fire bombs blow up a large cloud of fire smoke on the city wall, and the stench of chemical bombs is smoking.

But Xiongcheng is Xiongcheng, and the fortifications are good, and despite the large number of catapults, it is still difficult to kill and injure people when smashed on the city.

Due to the inshore waters, the smoke from chemical bombs is mostly dispersed and cannot be lifted

Therefore, it must be filled with human lives, so as to play the role of technical troops in the siege.

The troops outside the city were gathered, and the troops preparing to attack the city were all eating and drinking well, and Lazahan and Cheng Boxi personally saw them off, and everyone drank Zhuangxing wine!

This is a sign to know that the Great Cannibal did not drink alcohol before.

"For victory!" Lazahan shouted.

"Our army will win!" The siege troops replied in Chinese, they had sufficient morale, and the Tang army did not use them as cannon fodder, because one of the teachings from Wei Xi "The Four Iron Irons of Life" had joined the army together, and the friendship between comrades after joining the army was different, and they would be loyal to the regime they fought for!

Facts have proved that among Wei Xi's ruling forces, the authentic Tang army has the highest loyalty, and the loyalty of those naturalized Tang troops is also high, and his ruling foundation is extremely solid, so that when someone advised Princess Taiping to do something, Princess Taiping gave him a blank look and said: "The army follows him, no one can intervene, and the reason why Bengong can command the army is because Bengong is his wife!" ”

Now, the besieging army is covered in heavy armor, and the stretcher team behind it is ready, and the military order says: "Don't leave a single wounded!" ”

The disabled are raised by the state for a lifetime, and the merits of the dead and their children and grandchildren will not be wasted anyway, and what is not satisfied, the soldiers are fighting and eating food, licking the knife on the battlefield.

Then fight for Wei Xi and hand over your hundred catties to the Tang Army!

Moreover, the Tang army was very intimate, and the meaningless filling of the gullies was carried out by the captured tribesmen, and the Imperial Alliance Army did not have to go into battle.

These captives were all captured by the Tang Army in the past, and if they dared to resist the Heavenly Army, their fate was already doomed.

A large number of captives were driven to the walls, pushing mud carts and carrying dirt on their backs.

As they approached, arrows and spears rained down on the city, sweeping them down one by one.

Then, the infantry bow and cavalry bow covered by the Tang army were also colored, and they fought back, which also caused a certain amount of damage to the enemy troops in the city.

What's even more powerful is that the deafening sound of "boom, boom ......" suddenly sounded again, and the earth trembled. In the distance, rows of white smoke rose up, and the muzzles of cannons spewed/shot the flames of burning gunpowder, like the fury of Thor!

Flying Thunder Cannon, Flying Thunder Cannon fired!

The Byzantines deliberately put on heavy armor, face masks, and thickened shields, and there were shelters of wood or stone at intervals on the city walls, and they took refuge when they saw the flying thunder cannons coming.

The nails and balls of the explosives made the armor crackle like dense raindrops on the water.

The violent air wave impact was very strong, and some people even became "trapeze" and were blown down to the city!

The smoke rose and was poisonous, and the Byzantines coughed incessantly and hurriedly covered their noses with wet towels.

As the saying goes, where there is a spear, there must be a shield, the Tang Army is advanced equipment, and the other party has also come up with a method of restraint.

In fact, the long-range attacks of the Don army did not have the good results of the past, and the Byzantines did not suffer many casualties, which also determined that the siege would be a long-term and bloody process.

The Byzantines were struck, and the people who filled the ravines below were injured by mistake, they had no protection, and they were beaten by the iron nails and steel balls scattered by the goddess and the little bloody holes in their bodies!

The hit rate of the flying thunder cannon is lacking, the trajectory is often strange, and there are many opportunities to hit the people who fill the ravine.

Although they suffered heavy casualties, they did not dare to turn back, let alone turn around and escape... Behind them, there were several people who refused to step forward because they were slow, and the treatment given to them by the Tang Army was to cut off their limbs, but not to kill them immediately!

They lay on the ground, and their howls alerted others; There is something more terrible in this world than death!

……

The speed was still very fast, the wide moat of Constantinople was gradually narrowing, the Byzantines killed many, many people who filled the ravines, and the lives of the troubled people were as cheap as mud, and they became mud, and they were filled into the moat, and the hands or feet that stretched out of the dirt were traces of their past to the world.

Finally, the moat is gone!

The wide, long moat outside the land of Constantinople has been filled in!

It cost a lot of human life, and the poor ditch was filled in front of the Byzantines' arrows and spears, and the Tang people's flying thunder cannons and catapults were pinched at the same time, and I don't know how many people died, and the rest of the lucky ones who could escape were blank faces... It was painted by a painter, and it caught the eye, painting their indifference, despair, and dead silence, and became a fine work of art.

But how many people's blood and tears are condensed in this painting, only heaven and earth know!

Heaven and earth are the witness, and soon, another batch of blood will be sprinkled all over the earth!
