Chapter 1311. Asuka Prediction

The roar of artillery seems to have become the main theme of the Cape of Europe. 8w·w=w·. =

Three hundred and eighteen cannons kept bombarding the strong Theodosius city wall, and the heavy cannonballs kept hitting the fragments of the city, but unlike in the past, in peacetime, the siege equipment of the Fujian army had already been pushed up under the cover of artillery, but today, the heavy ladder and well fence were still lazily staying in front of the Fujian army.

Even Li Jie, who was looking out for the siege, was a little discouraged, this was already the eighth day of the siege, the Fujian army was not brave, in the continuous fierce hand-to-hand combat, the elites had killed almost 20,000 people, almost every city wall had been stained red by the blood of the Min soldiers, but it was stuck in the middle of the first or second layer of the city wall, that is, it could not be overcome, and the artillery of the Fujian army was also in the city wall, and everything that could collapse down was beaten, but there was really no way to take this kind of strong city wall with rammed earth inside the outer stone.

You must know that the Ottoman Turkish army that used the urban cannon in later generations did not use artillery to collapse the city wall of Constantinople, but a city gate was covered with earth and stone broken by the cannon, and it was not closed because of negligence, which was broken by the Turkish army, and the battle between the cannon and the fortress lasted until the nineteenth century, and it was indeed not Li Jie's newly developed artillery that could be reversed.

If it weren't for the holes that had been dug out of the city and the last backhand, Li Jie really wanted to withdraw his troops at this time.

Even if the morale brought by the king was high, it was a little declining at this time, and Li Jie did not order a direct attack on the city in the morning, but harassed the city wall with artillery and some ranger bows and arrows, and he also needed to let his army breathe.

At noon, the Fujian army was cooking in the field outside the walled city, chickens and cattle bought from Macedonia, and I don't know when a large number of potatoes planted in the Italian Peninsula were crackled and thrown into the pot, at this time, it was quite valuable soy sauce and threw it down like money, and the smell of braised even caused the Roman defenders in the opposite city to poke out their heads hungrily, and coldly remembered the story of the American canned food of the later generations of the national ~ party army, Li Jie simply sent a team of people to the city of Constantinople with a white flag and shouted.

"Hey, Roman brothers at the head of the city, come down and surrender! Da Min invites you to eat potato roast beef! ”

This shout really caused many Roman defenders to drool, and then they were kicked back with big leather boots by their officers who were also screaming in their throats, and mentally tortured their opponents, which can be regarded as making the Fujian army rise a lot of superiority and morale. ﹏8w=w=w`.-

Afternoon should be a good sign, right? Squatting with the soldiers to fish for meat in the pot to eat, Li Jie thought stupidly.

But at this moment, Wang Fangyi, who was full of seriousness, ran over frantically on a horse, and he didn't care about the courtesy of the monarch and ministers, so he pulled Li Jie's sleeve and ran back hurriedly.

While being dragged by him to run, Li Jie still didn't forget to smile at the soldiers he just met: "The widow came out to improve his life, and the prime minister is unwilling!"

These words caused the soldiers to laugh for a while, and the image of the King of Min and the people deepened a little.

It is said to improve life, in fact, the supply of the Fujian army headquarters is naturally no worse than that of the small soldiers, at noon is the fragrant chicken leg silver silk noodles, the fragrance permeates the whole room, but including Anna, eleven prime ministers, none of the five generals eat, everyone is staring at the sand table with gloomy faces, seeing that Li Jie is coming, they all stood up and saluted the king of Min.

Just now, Wang Fangyi didn't say anything, Li Jie didn't ask, because he knew that the generals must not shake the morale of the army, and they were all high-level people at this time, so Li Jie was no longer polite, and asked with a serious expression: "Say it!" What happened? ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the Huns are here!"

Just this sentence made Li Jie gasp, he couldn't help but gasp, it came so fast!

In fact, the news of the Huns' return to Constantinople, Li Jie knew eight days ago, Wang Fangyi used a fast horse to speed up the news of 800 miles, the Huns defeated the Frankish army in the Battle of Chu Naohe, more than 10,000 Franks were killed, and the Huns are likely to return to Constantinople in the near future.

Today, the outposts patrolling the Danube River arrived early, and eight of the 15 horse-exploring squads of more than 150 people came back alive, all reporting that an unknown nomadic cavalry was rapidly moving south, clearing the opponent's eyeliner on a large scale, which was exactly the same as the last time the Huns defeated Li Ji's army. __ bar w·w-w-.'

It's no wonder that the generals of Damin have such a headache, all the current forces of Damin are staring at Constantinople, even if the army is strong, the back is always fragile, once the Huns' cruel and flexible cavalry is around, Li Jie has already felt his chrysanthemum faintly painful.

"Your Majesty, the last general is willing to be the vanguard, lead the Guanning Iron Cavalry, and go to compete with these barbarians!"

Sheng Lianshan was gone, Su Dingfang replaced his role and was the first to come out to ask for battle, but Su Lie is different from Sheng Lianshan, who is a simple-minded Sheng Lianshan, he is a veteran of the battlefield, and at this time he is estimated to have a plan in his heart to fight, so he seems calm.

Then, the rest of the generals also expressed their willingness to ask for war, and their morale was quite high, Constantinople could not be defeated, and Lao Tzu was still afraid that you would not succeed in the field battle?

But Changzhi, who had grown a lot older, stared at the map, but he muttered his head and said something that no one wanted to say.

"What if the Huns don't fight?"

Sounds funny, the Hunnian cavalry ran all the way from Central Europe to support Constantinople, and did not fight anywhere? Who believes! But the black tooth Changzhi did tell the truth, the historical Hun army was not famous for being good at field warfare, they came from the habit of nomadic life, and were more willing to attack like a wolf.

On the frontal battlefield, Li Ling's 5,000 Jingchu infantry once resisted the onslaught of the Xiongnu alone in the field battle of 120,000 people for eight days, but the Han Empire was still troubled by the Xiongnu, which can be seen, if the Great Min turned its head to face the battle, the Hun army retreated again, like the Arab light cavalry at that time, specifically attacked the rear road of the Great Min, the siege was already very difficult, and there was such a hungry wolf behind it, how could this war continue?

However, the Huns did not fight is a later story, the Fujian army could not expose its back to the wolf-like Huns, and it has become a foregone conclusion to adjust the military deployment to the north to respond to the battle, and the prime ministers and generals simply did not hear the words of the black tooth, and discussed how to send troops, who will continue to besiege the city of Constantinople, and dispersed.

Naturally, the siege in the afternoon could not be continued, and the tens of thousands of troops displayed in front of the city of Constantinople retreated to the barracks to pack up their things, and the roar of the artillery seemed to have become a little weak, so that the Roman defenders at the head of the city dared to dare to continue to look down.

With a depressed mood, Li Jie also climbed the well railing, took the binoculars, and followed those Roman patrols with wide eyes, I can't kill you, I will kill you with my eyes, it's all right!

Although the morale was low, the Fujian army was still well-trained after all, and it was like a cloud of water in the same place, and after a few golden sounds, it had almost retreated, leaving only the iron cavalry guarding the artillery troops, listless, Li Jie also had no choice but to turn around and leave.

But at this moment, a large flock of birds suddenly quacked and flew up from the sky over Constantinople, and swooped down on the Min army for a circle, and then flew quickly south.

Zanpo happened to be hit, a bubble of bird feces fell on his nose, and the angry rough man kept scolding, and the sudden scene made Li Jie stunned for a long time, and then, his eyes were spinning and his eyes lit up.

…………

"The widow is not going to lead the army north to fight!"

As the king of Fujian, Li Jie is always easy to say amazingly, and this time is no exception, the jaws of the prime ministers who listened to it almost dropped, and Yuwenjie was the first to jump out, full of resentment for a week.

"Your Majesty, the minister is a scholar, and he still knows that he can't face the enemy behind his back!"

The implication of these words, Your Majesty, you have been fighting for so many years, and you don't understand this bit of military common sense?

The rest of the prime ministers were also embarrassed, and although they did not speak in the same sharp tone as Yuwenjie, they also expressed their opposition openly or implicitly.

Li Jie didn't interrupt, but waited for the prime ministers to finish speaking, and under Li Jie's strong self-confidence, unconsciously, the gossipy prime ministers and generals stopped talking.

"It's all over! So now it's up to the widow to explain the reason! ”

Strode to the sand table, without any scruples about the sand table that he had worked so hard to make, Li Jie's scabbard was directly spent on it, and after a few explanations, the generals and prime ministers present were all colorless, and Wang Fangyi even shook his head in horror.

"Your Majesty, this is too risky!"

Without arguing with him, Li Jie strode to the tent window again, jerked up the window, and pointed to the flock of birds that had not yet flown far and said excitedly.

"See the birds? Our artillery has been roaring for so many days and they don't fly, do you know why they are flying now? ”

Without waiting for the ministers to keep up with Li Jie's thinking, from using soldiers to birds, Li Jie had already shouted excitedly: "Birds have spirits, and they haven't flown for so many days, precisely because Constantinople has not run out of gas, but today they fled in a hurry, precisely because the end of the city is coming, and they want to avoid a disaster of swords!"

"We've hit this far! This opportunity has been missed, ladies and gentlemen, are you willing? ”

I really didn't expect this omen, I was stunned for a long time, Su Dingfang suddenly bowed to Li Jie with a fist full of fighting spirit, and then, more than ten generals and prime ministers also followed with a fist and bowed, seeing that everyone was united, Li Jie couldn't help but laugh proudly.

The military task was assigned nervously again, this time the transfer of the Fujian army became more frequent, the military meeting was held for less than a quarter of an hour, and the generals had already returned to their headquarters with grim faces, and at the door, Su Lie muttered in wonder: "I want to persuade Your Majesty not to take any more risks!" How did it pass? ”

Wang Fangyi was so hung that he didn't have a heel lying on the ground............
