The attack began in earnest on 13 August, and the first sortie was still carried by sappers carrying shovels.

Learning from the previous lesson, the Min army made the military camp the first task, and countless sappers cut down trees like ants, and then learned the engineering methods of Caesar during the Battle of Alesia when he conquered Gaul, and the huge logs were nailed to the ground in two rows, and then filled in the middle and tamped in the middle.

Caesar's army of 50,000 built a 21-kilometer, four-meter-high wall in three weeks, and the tools of the Min army were far more advanced than the bronze tools of the Romans at that time.

The Art of War. The form of the chapter said: Therefore, those who are good at fighting are invincible, and they are not defeated by the enemy!

Li Jie's plan, with sufficient manpower, was to build a small city outside Constantinople within a week to protect his army, and to be invincible first, even if the main forces of the Huns and Slavs returned from the entanglement with the Franks in the northwest, they would not be allowed to take advantage of it!

And at the same time as the construction of the small city, on the front, 30,000 kinds of auxiliary Persian soldiers who were accustomed to the land, and the soldiers of Tianzhu Mansion re-dug the trench along the place dug by Li Ji.

What if you build a rammed earth wall? I'll do it again, and I'll make a big hole in the root of your wall! See how you cope!

Sure enough, looking at the dusty position of the Fujian army, there was no human figure in sight, and the city of Constantinople was in chaos again, and it was estimated that Constantine IV was disgusting enough.

The work began on August 13, and by August 20, the small city had begun to take shape, with two 21-kilometer-long four-meter wooden walls roughly protecting the more than 400,000 Fujian troops in it, and the two tunnels were also driven out of the deep underground for a long time, and they were about to be close to the root of the Roman wall.

On the surface, it is not as dense as Li Ji's last spider web, the Min army only dug a few trenches that are not too crooked, this time the strategic intention has already been exposed, the landmark trench is just to cover the underground and disturb the audio-visual, but there is no need to take it too seriously.

Underground, in the deep corridor, swarms of Fujian army ants in and out non-stop, more than 150 Fujian army soldiers lined up in a row, a basket of soil and a basket of soil to transport out, the other end of the Fujian army carrying the interpretation of the boat board followed behind the excavation team, every time more than one meter dug out, it supported a section of beam.

The Fujian military academy captain Long Gu, who was in charge, also personally built the army in the tunnel, constantly drinking and telling everyone to be careful.

However, at this time, a resting Min soldier suddenly put his ear on the wall, listened for a while, and then ran eagerly in front of Long Gu.

"Tell the captain, there is a strange noise in the passage, as if someone is also digging!"

At this time, the sun was already in the west, and it was close to the meal, and the dragon was already grunting with hunger, touching the wall of the cave, and he said very indifferently: "It's okay! Now the head and feet are digging holes, is there any movement abnormal! Go back, keep working, finish your workload early, change shifts early! ”

agreed, and the soldier returned to work without paying much attention to it.

At this time, Li Jie also ushered in an unexpected guest.

In the tent of the Chinese military camp, a young man with a neat square bun, wearing a long Confucian robe, and a rather elegant demeanor bowed to the ground in a proper manner.

"Little nephew Li Cheng, meet Uncle Min Wang!"

"Hurry up, please!" Li Jie personally stepped forward and helped the young man up.

Li Jie was quite surprised and surprised by the arrival of this person, because he was the second son of Li You, the king of Qi!

The historical King of Qi Li You was gloomy, and the sons of Taizong were at odds, and Yu Zhenguan began to rebel in the seventeenth year of the army, and the result was defeated and given to death, this time and space has Li Jie, I don't know that Li You is not right, and the relationship with Li Jie is extraordinary, with Li Jie's guidance, he put his energy on the sea, and now he is in the Wa Kingdom as the general of the soil emperor Zhengyi, and he is quite nourishing.

As early as the time of Tianzhu, Li Jie and Li You's correspondence was quite frequent, but when he arrived in Khorasan, the correspondence was less, and now there was no letter for a year or two.

Now that this nephew can come all the way to the battlefield to see him, Li Jie is still quite happy, and after a few words of greeting, he instructed the eldest grandson to weave and Anna to buy a banquet to entertain him.

After all, it is the king of Fujian, and Wu Meiniang prepared a lot of good things before leaving, and a banquet was quite decent, but this eldest nephew, Li Cheng, the king of Hyogo, was obviously a little depressed, he was young and couldn't hide things, and after drinking a few glasses with Li Jie, he explained the purpose of his trip.

"Uncle, my father sent me this time because I wanted to ask my uncle to help me get an idea!"

As he spoke, he took out a scroll of maps, threw himself on the wine table, spread it out under Li Jie's curious gaze, and explained irritably.

"The army of the king of Jin has approached the Yalu River, the kingdom of Liaodong has fallen, and the king of Juryo, Li Chengqian, the son of the Silla general Kim Famin and the Liao king Li Tai, fled to Goguryeo, and the king of Sin'an County, Li Hui, raised troops to resist the north bank of the Yalu River."

"Li Chengqian, the king of Juli, sent an envoy, and he wanted to ask my father to send a Japanese army to fight against the Jin king's army, but my father couldn't make up his mind, so he asked his little nephew to ask for the opinion of his uncle in the king of Fujian."

Looking at this map, Li Jie was full of emotion, and he actually had a feeling of vicissitudes in his heart, the map drawn on the map back then was once the place where he wanted to show his strength, but by mistake, it was taken away by the eccentric Li Shimin, and he made wedding dresses for Li Tai and Li Chengqian.

In history, Li Chengqian's rebellion failed and he died early, and Li Tai lived to Yonghui for three years, and then he didn't know that he ate the wrong meal and hung up. With Li Jie in this time and space, the ending of the two was reversed, in the third year of Yonghui, the Liao Wang Tai army was infected with disease, died of dysentery, and died of diarrhea. Li Chengqian, however, died once and had a great enlightenment, and he saw a lot of everything, and now he is still alive and well, and even sent an envoy to see him a few years ago, hoping to regain brotherly friendship with him.

However, Li Jie was not a two-skinned face, and the envoy was sent away without seeing him.

Thinking about it now, it is fortunate that Li Shimin is partial, otherwise how could there be today's Min Empire?

After sighing for a moment, Li Jie returned his mind to the map.

Jin Wangjun refers to the Tang Army, under the command of Li Zhi, he has been fighting in the south and north over the years, Li Zhi has not been idle, a * government soldier is desperate to send to Liaodong, and the three eldest grandsons of the queen's sisters-in-law are very happy to fight in the land of Liaodong, and I don't know if it is what Li Shimin expected back then.

But now the war situation is clear, after all, Liaodong is a small country, and it can't help Li Tai's loser before his death, a tomb of the Liao King has cost Liaodong several years of savings, and it can't stop the Guanzhong army, such as Pang Xiaotai, Qibi He Li, Sun Renshi, Liu Boying Such famous generals, veterans, Liaodong Kingdom has fallen in the end, and the war has burned to the Yalu River, and Li Chengqian, who has no bottom in his heart, united the remnants of Liaodong Kingdom and his mistress, and it is also the Queen Jin Shengman of Silla, who has not been in contact for a long time, to raise troops to resist together.

It's no wonder that Li You is also uneasy, the strategy of small Japan in later generations, if you want to win China, you must first take Mengman! If you want to take Mengman, you must first take North Korea, and vice versa is also a truth, if Li Zhi is not satisfied with Li Chengqian's Juli Kingdom, the next unlucky person will be himself.

Li You estimated that he had made up his mind at this time, and he should have asked for Li Jie's help and asked for help, but this Li Cheng estimated that when he saw the Fujian army under the city of Constantinople, he must have no energy to help, so he simply did not bring it up, Li Jie did not react for a while, and looked at the map very seriously for a long time, and then shook his head solemnly.

However, as soon as Li Jie wanted to speak, he saw his eldest nephew staring at his huge Chinese army tent as if he was from the countryside, and Li Jie was also stunned and laughed dumbly.

This kid set off from Toba, passed through Fuzhou, Nanyang, and went to Europe, half a year has passed, with Li You's character, this will probably have led troops to the Yalu River, and he is still in a hurry!

Carrying the wine glass, Li Jie wanted to say a few words to deal with the scene, but who knew that at this time, the big tent of the Chinese army seemed to be buzzing, and then there was a commotion outside.

"What's wrong?" As soon as his heart tightened, he grabbed the saber next to him, Li Jie subconsciously rushed out, and just rushed to the mouth of the tent, but saw that the forbidden army had surrounded the tent, and not far away from the exit of the two tents digging tunnels under the city of Constantinople, a billowing smoke continued to spew out, and the sergeant in charge of the excavation covered his throat and fled out.

"Enemy attack!"

The defenders shouted fiercely, and there seemed to be shouts of killing in the barracks, and everywhere you could see the patrolling Fujian troops hurrying with torches, and the chaotic appearance made Li Jie's heart beat wildly, didn't Li Ji lose in the enemy's attack camp last time! But he hurriedly picked up his binoculars and looked at the city wall, but the city wall he built was still moving, and the defenders patrolling above were still looking down in a daze, and there was no large-scale Roman army attacking at all.

Where does the enemy come from? Falling from the sky? Li Jie couldn't help but feel furious in his heart!

Just when Li Jie was puzzled, there was a bang, more than five meters in front of him, the ground suddenly collapsed, and more than a dozen forbidden soldiers screamed and fell in, and the next moment, from the collapse, a Hun infantry with long hands and feet jumped up like a big cat, and cut it down according to himself with a scimitar.

Tunnel!

Li Jie's heart suddenly understood, but at this time, the blade had already gone straight to his chest, and he couldn't avoid it............
