There was a light rain in the sky, the sky was gloomy and gloomy with dark clouds, and it was dull and depressing, the light rain splashed on the wall of the wooden walled city of the Fujian army, and it was smeared with a layer of cyan, and under this light rain, countless heads wore wide-brimmed hats, and wore black iron armor, and the Fujian troops gathered from all over the world rushed out of the city like an iron stream.

On the wall of the wooden wall, sixteen shirtless drummers beat the two-meter-long and wide cowhide snare drum with all their might, and in the deafening sound of the drums, these ironclad elite soldiers quickly lined up in front of the camp into a tight and orderly military formation, and the rows reflected the cold light in the rain, just like the scales on the black dragon's body.

The wall that had shielded the Fujian army for two or three months was once again violently knocked down, hundreds of government soldiers shouted trumpets and dragged ropes together, as well as war horses, old cattle also followed a piece of traction, towering and heavy well railings, and ladders from the Fujian army camp rushed out, like giants, striding towards Constantinople to meet the challenges that belonged to them.

This time it's all real guys, the troops have been under the city of Constantinople for more than two months, and they have fought wits and courage several times, and the largest siege since the troops of Damin has also kicked off.

No matter how big the country is, there is a limit, the Ottoman Turks of later generations besieged Constantinople, and the city was under the city on forty-six days, and the national strength of the Ottoman Turks was several times stronger, in order to attack Constantinople, Li Jie hoarded in West Asia for three years, but the accumulated materials were only enough for his 500,000 troops to attack the city for three or four months.

The previous two or three months of preparation was for the next few days, in the fierce sound of war drums, the Fujian army had six well railings, eight ladders, and twenty rushing cars parked in front of and behind the Fujian army's formation, and Li Jie and Anna also personally rode out of the barracks on war horses and personally inspected in front of his army.

Thousands of miles to this foreign land to follow the King of Fujian to make meritorious contributions, seeing Li Jie's dragon flag, the elite soldiers of the guards who had plucked up their courage at the time of the battle were even more high-spirited, and they couldn't stop roaring in a low voice.

Let his banner be displayed in front of the whole army, Li Jie and Anna climbed the high platform that had already been built behind the siege equipment, and in the gaze, the ten legions that fought were clear at a glance, and the eyes of 100,000 soldiers would all be focused on themselves, the sky was cold, but their eyes were so hot, so hot that Li Jie's chest burned.

Before the war, it was often necessary to issue a requisition order to show the enemy's evil and arouse the hatred of the soldiers against the enemy, but Xiao Sheng, Li Gang and the prime ministers wrote the crusade order with great painstaking efforts, and the piles of tirades were actually thrown into the mud by Li Jie.

In Wang Fangyi's eyes, Li Jie raised his arms and shouted, and launched his roar at the whole army.

"Why are you here, in the freezing rain? Against this damn city? ”

Before the stunned soldiers could react, Li Jie had already shouted louder: "Because you are soldiers!" Warriors of Damin! A man in the family! At home, you must ensure that your children and grandchildren enjoy peace and prosperity, and that your wives have no worries about food and clothing, and that they always have new clothes and new food! For future generations, you also need to ensure that they have enough living space and abundant land, so that they will not be reduced to displaced people after a few generations without even having land to cultivate! For the country, you must ensure the prosperity of Damin, and nip in the bud any enemy who threatens Damin, your wife, children, and children! ”

"The widow is here to assure you, the victims, the widow regards your relatives as my relatives! The disabled, the widow should support you without worrying about food and clothing! Those who have merit, and the widow will let you return to your hometown with fine clothes and glory! Meritorious service will be rewarded, and the fault will be punished, and the widow swears here, if it is violated, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed!! ”

Turning around and pointing to the head of Constantinople, Li Jie roared with disdain.

"Don't be afraid of the cowardly Roman defenders, they are nothing more than a bunch of wretched creatures coerced by the thieves of the puppet emperor Constantine! Beneath their fierce exterior, what is hidden is nothing but a cowardly heart! My warriors, break their appearance and conquer this city! Let the cowardly wail under your sword! ”

"Today's battle is a great battle! For thirty years later, when you will pass through Constantinople with your children! You can proudly say to your children and grandchildren that grandpa also fought here back then! The place that he personally conquered with His Majesty the King of Min has built a strong western gate for our Great Min!! ”

"Warriors, fight! these! ”

Sun Tzu's Art of War Zhongyun: Those who kill the enemy are angry! Those who take advantage of the enemy are also goods! Li Jie's words not only linked the family interests of the sergeants under his command to this war, but also added a factor that Sun Wu took into account but did not say, a sense of honor! Dozens of copper horns clearly spread Li Jie throughout dozens of large squares, and a moment later, cheers like a landslide and tsunami came back from all directions.

"Da Min, long live! Long live, Your Majesty! ”

The disabled have support, the family has something to rely on, the worries of the soldiers have been removed, and the temptation of fame and fortune and war trophies has inspired almost the whole army to be enthusiastic, as for the upcoming life-and-death war, they have been left behind, afraid of death? What a soldier! Isn't it true that the soldier's head is pinned to his waist and a wife is sealed!

Especially at the end, Li Jie also made a foul mouth, which made these rough soldiers feel happy.

Looking at Li Jie, who was standing on the high platform, his face was also full of excitement and roaring, Wang Fangyi also had to admit that Li Jie's words were better than his crepe conquest order, some people are born leaders, listening to this speech, Wang Fangyi and even himself were full of enthusiasm, and he couldn't wait to roll up his sleeves and follow him into battle, killing a white knife into a red knife.

Seeing that the atmosphere was almost adjusted, Li Jie finally turned around and roared again.

"Attack!"

In the era of cold weapons, the most exciting thing is the rapid war drums, which are more shocking than the war drums, then it has to be the roar of artillery, like thunderous artillery, has always been the pride of the Fujian army, there have already been hundreds of bronze casting of the general cannon was pushed to the front of the battle, was covered under the rainproof shed built of the tarpaulin, with the order of the Fujian army, the Shenwei general Xiao Yehu was also a roar, the first to ignite the gunpowder.

Bang~

The chemical energy was fully converted into destructive power, and with the spraying of the fire snake, the towering tower of Constantinople on the opposite side was blown off a corner with a single shot, and the heavy masonry fell down with a clatter, and the Roman defenders who were nervously watching the ground fell in half of the moment.

An Eastern Roman double-headed eagle flag fell right now, and it fell heavily into the dust.

This was just the beginning, more than a meter long fire snakes erupted one after another, the strong walls of Constantinople suddenly bloomed, the defensive battlements fell downward, the heavy solid lead bullets smashed the walls violently with each blow, and some of the flowering bullets smashed on the city, and the falling sharp metal collapsed the hordes of defenders, and the corpses of the Romans and hired barbarians fell down like dumplings.

"Attack!"

Sheng Lianshan, the loyal and brave general of the vanguard, also drew his sword and roared out, and behind the ladder, the loyal and brave avant-garde soldiers of the Fujian army of 100 people pushed the heavy ladder well railing, and also pushed forward unstoppably.

Even if there is a rubber package made in Southeast Asia, the heavy reels still make a creaking sound when pressed on the ground, and the front rushing car is like a huge turtle, with a sharp beak, pecking at the hard limestone city wall, and on the tall well railing, the crossbowmen and gunners are also equal, and even the defenders of the Roman city who peep down with some contempt will cover the siege of the Fujian army by them in a while, and the other party can't raise his head!

Constantine IV naturally refused to sit still, as early as a few days ago he also had a premonition that the atmosphere of this war was getting stronger and stronger, the defenders of New Rome had already been mobilized, against the overwhelming firepower of the Fujian army, the Roman defenders on the tower also gritted their teeth to put the cannons, ballistas withdrew, and behind, the giant trebuchet that had been increased to 100 was also loaded, and I don't know who fired first, the stone shells in the sky, the Greek fire and artillery fire also smashed into the Fujian army.

Just like the battle of the gods, the burning red pop was constantly thrown on the positions of both sides, and the two sides that smashed were trembling unforgettable.

At this time, the comparison is who can endure more, who is more afraid of death!

More than a dozen ballistas hit the well fence pushed in front almost at the same time, and the hard ship planks and wood were smashed with a ping pong sound, vibrating violently, and the coaxing shot hit the supporting pillar even more dangerously, and the solid pillar used to support the keel on the battleship broke with a click, and almost did not rush into the well railing.

In the cannon hole under the overhanging tower of the well railing, twenty tiger squat cannons were aimed at various places, and the cannon holes were lit in turn, and the booming flowering shells immediately emptied a small half of the Romans on the opposite ballista position.

However, the strong crossbow of the Fujian army is more brilliant at this time, the crossbow arm and bowstring of the Fujian army are made of metal, although it is a little heavier, but it is guaranteed to be strong, and more importantly, the bowstring of the bow arm will not be affected by moisture on rainy days, and it is still strong.

The people who can choose the well fence are the elite shooters of the Fujian army, facing the well fence, several Roman artillerymen are still very amateur cleaning up the Min artillery, ready to fire again, and a few sharp bows and arrows slammed in, poof, puff

Under the continuous cover of the six well railings, the heavy ladder was finally pushed to the city with difficulty but without interruption, and with a bang, the second step smashed on the wall of Constantinople.

The weighted horizontal knife was like a force splitting the sky, Sheng Lianshan jumped down from the cloud ladder first, and the Rus heavy infantry who was blocking him didn't even have time to shout in fear, and his head was cut off.

Scuffle, blossoming in the city............
