The battle of filling the hook was carried out for three days, it seemed that the Min army was afraid of death, dead, or there was no longer a need to fill the ditch with corpses, and there was no new Min army rushing out of the seven passages, but the foot of the city was also filled with corpses, soil, and ballista shells, and a strong smell of blood rushed straight to the city.

At this time, the red-eyed Roman defenders also suddenly woke up from the madness entrenched by the killing machine, and sat on the ground in a daze, many of them had lost their strength, and their arms holding bows and arrows could no longer be raised, and some people silently prayed to God.

In a fierce battle all night, according to this efficiency, at least more than 10,000 Fujian soldiers died under the city, even if they killed infidels, that sense of guilt still made everyone's hearts heavy.

However, although the attack stopped, the sound of Da Min continuing to dig the trench did not stop all night, and countless earth and stones were pulled out of the trench.

It seems that the night of melee also exhausted all the strength of the Min army, and the next day, apart from continuing to dig trenches, the Min army did not launch another attack.

Standing at the head of the city, Constantine IV looked down with some worry, seven passages separated by dozens of meters were all filled, and the suburban plain in front of him that had been excavated was still fragmented under the tools of the Fujian army, and the places that were originally farmland, rivers and even houses continued to collapse, and even when Constantine IV looked out, a hole was broken on the edge of the moat, and a new Fujian army attack trench communication was formed.

The strong smell of blood still did not dissipate, the killing of the Min army last night was indeed heavy enough, and you can still see the chaotic times on the trench, the pond water is red, and the seven or eight meters wide of the entire moat is almost soaked with blood, and the surface is condensed, I don't know how much it flows.

However, looking at all this, Constantine IV was also not happy, vaguely looking at his feet, and then looking at the dusty group of large moats that even the city walls were shaken, Constantine always felt a little strange in his heart, but somewhere, where strange, he couldn't say.

"Closely monitor the movements of the Fujian army, and report any abnormal movement immediately!"

For a long time, I really didn't think of anything strange, Constantine IV had to give an order helplessly, and after staying up all night, the Thracian general Spartacus, whose eyes were red, immediately lifted his big belly tightly wrapped in armor and agreed.

There were too few Roman defenders, and only half of the defenders who had been fighting all night could only rest, and the remaining half continued to doze off and patrol the city with red eyes.

Fortunately, it seems that the Min people were really frightened, and in one day, in addition to the trenches that were dug more than once and the edge of the harbor, the sailors who went to sea brought fish to the shore, and the calm was restored as it had been since this week, and the Min army never launched an attack again.

Finally, this day stayed up until midnight, after eating some dry meat and other dinners, the Romans thought that they could relax a little and sleep well, who knew that the city suddenly sounded chaotic footsteps, and countless Fujian troops once again launched an attack from the entrance of more than a dozen passages newly dug today, and countless Fujian troops were unarmoured, carrying dust and rushing to the moat.

"Meet the enemy!"

The hoarse voice of the Thracian general echoed in the night sky again, and countless Roman defenders with black circles rushed to the defense of the two city walls, one high and one low, on the arrow tower more than ten meters high, the ballista also gathered the launch port, and the defenders moved the ballista hard, and the serrated teeth on the scorpion crossbow made the sound of Gragra.

Aiming at the newly dug passage, arrows rained down again, and the stones fluttered and fluttered into the water, and the strong smell of blood was transmitted, mixed with the stench of the original sewers of the new Roman city in the drainage ditch, and the smoke made people want to gause.

This time, the Min army was still not afraid of death, and went forward one after another, and the city walls that were shocked by the shouting and killing were buzzing, and the corpses of the dead and wounded Min soldiers quickly filled up a section of the moat with ballistae and arrows on the city.

On this night, the fierce battle again reached the third watch, and it was roughly estimated that the Fujian army had at least more than 15,000 deaths!

At dawn on the third day, calm was restored again, as if it was not his own people who died last night, and the Fujian army should dig trenches and dig trenches, and should fish and fish.

However, another section of the trench was filled.

For several days in a row, Constantinople was in this state of frightened birds, and the Min army was also fighting at night as always, resting during the day, no matter how heavy the casualties were, still filling the moat non-stop, seeing that a large section of the moat was completely filled into flat ground, Constantine IV's heart was also like a pot.

Many soldiers in the city even speculated that it was not the Min army that was driven over to fill the trenches at night, but the Romans captured by the Min people from Macedonia, Thrace and other places, forcing them to use their lives to fill the road for the Min army to attack.

This is not without precedent, the Bolgars, the Celts, and the brutal Huns, every time a barbarian invasion hits the city of Constantinople, they have done such atrocities, and even dug up a lot of bones when cleaning the moat a while ago, all of them were Eastern Roman civilians who died during Attila's attack more than 200 years ago.

This rumor spread more and more widely, and some sergeants even suspected that these people who died in the city were their own relatives, plus the appearance of the elders a while ago made the people in the city panic, and some soldiers openly refused to shoot the Min army who reclaimed the city.

In such chaos, Constantine IV also didn't care about the investigation, and he ruthlessly hanged more than a dozen leading soldiers that day, and the nobles did not let go, which calmed down the morale of the army slightly.

On August 15, the sixth year of the Great Min Dynasty, just in time for the Mid-Autumn Festival in Great Min, on this day, the moat that blocked about three kilometers in front of the Fujian army was almost completely filled into the ground, and all the obstacles to the attack on Constantinople were swept away.

At the same time, King Min also sent a surprise to the expeditionary force, arriving from Rhode Island to several large ships, and actually unloaded boxes and boxes of moon cakes to reward the whole army.

There are two layers of the origin of the Mid-Autumn Festival, one is from the Zhou ceremony, in ancient times, Zhou Tianzi sacrificed heaven and earth on this day, and the other layer is from the ancient Chinese tradition, the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Chinese children who have worked for more than half a year rest together for a day, to celebrate the happiness of the harvest, the two sources may be one, because of the harvest, Zhou Tianzi will be sacrificed, and the people will also celebrate, so on this day, the whole army of Damin is also a day of holiday.

However, moon cakes are a unique tradition in Fujian, and the real moon cakes will not appear until the late Tang Dynasty, and occupy the tropical land of Tianzhu, and the large sugarcane granges let the cane sugar enter the dining table of ordinary people, and the king of Min advocates large-scale pig breeding, which also makes the moon cake skin ghee made of lard become common, plus the secret recipe of the palace, eating moon cakes has become common among the people of Fujian.

Eating the mooncakes of the flavor of his hometown, and then looking at the Asian continent across the sea in the distance, when hundreds of thousands of people from the top and bottom of the Fujian army emerged with thoughts in their hearts, they added an eager heroism!

Isn't it just one Constantinople? Captured early, repaid the great kindness of King Fujian, and then returned to his hometown, let's make moon cakes ourselves!

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Li Ji also led the generals to respectfully burn incense and worship three times in front of Li Jie's holy decree, and then ate the moon cakes.

There were singing and dancing in the barracks, and even in front of Li Ji's tent, shadow puppets were played, and more than a dozen sergeants were playing with puppets behind the big skins.

However, every time they saw the highlights, a large group of generals had meaningful smiles on their cheeks, and every time they looked in the direction of Constantinople, they immediately let out bursts of hearty laughter.

Bright moonlight shone on the city of Constantinople.

The moonlight is like washing, bright and beautiful, with a magical color like a dream, it is fascinating, no wonder the ancients always use the goddess, feminine to describe the moon, worship the moon, but unfortunately under such a beautiful scenery, Emperor Constantine is not in a good mood at all, lying on the city, listening to the laughter from afar, Constantine IV's face is becoming more and more gloomy.

There's always a feeling of being fooled!
