The core idea of the beginning of Sun Tzu's Art of War is that the soldier is also treacherous! It looks like the Romans did a good job.XshuOTXt.CoM

Before leaving, the wise and resourceful men of the Min army also gathered together to carry out temple calculations, combined with intelligence to deduce all kinds of possible counterattacks of the Eastern Roman Empire, but no one expected that Constantine IV would also have such great courage to attack the underground city of Damin, and used the sound of the Min army to cover themselves......

The Roman defenders dug through the two tunnels of the Min army, not to mention, but also dug under the military camp of Damin, and the calm for several days paralyzed Damin, tonight it seems that the Min army has just finished the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15, and the wooden wall has been built, the army has a certain relaxation, and tonight it is difficult in one fell swoop, and Li Jie is caught off guard.

All of this flashed through Li Jie's mind like a cloud of peers, and when the cold and shining scimitar slashed his chest, his thoughts reacted in the lightning.

In the next second, the sparks of ping-pong sparks and the sound of blood splashing came out together.

"Uncle!"

Li Cheng seemed to have learned kendo, beautifully pulled out the horizontal knife from the guard's waist, cut down the sneak attacker like lightning, and wiped the blood with his thumb and inserted it back into the scabbard, only then did he remember that his uncle had been stabbed, and stepped forward to ask with concern.

was stumbled and took two steps back, Li Jie pounced on his body like no one, except for a knife mark on his armor, but he didn't even cut it.

In the process of occupying West Asia, borrowing some Damascus knife technology, the armor of the Fujian army was updated, using the cold calcining technology that only had in the Song Dynasty, and the armor on Li Jie's body was like this, and the iron pieces were placed under the sledgehammer pushed by the water flow, and the steel was forged to one-third of the original thickness with water power.

Of course, this kind of armor is too labor-intensive, and it is impossible to equip the whole army, and the whole army can only be equipped with elite assault troops of the standing army.

Seeing that Li Jie was fine, Li Cheng and the eldest grandson Zhi breathed a sigh of relief.

However, the camp was already in chaos, seeing that there were still barbarian soldiers crawling out of the collapsed tunnels, and there were panicked fighting roars everywhere in his ears, Li Jie himself was still in a hurry, and while directing the forbidden army to encircle and suppress this exit, he gave an anxious and loud order.

"Activate the emergency plan, and all the officers of the military camps will be sent to the front-line army to strangle the invaders with all their might!"

Listening to Li Jie's roar, more than a dozen Fujian forbidden soldiers scattered anxiously.

Standing at the head of the city of Constantinople, holding a telescope made in the Great Fujian, Constantine IV looked at the chaotic scene of the Fujian army under the city with satisfaction.

He already knew before that the strength of the Tang people was very strong, and they had far surpassed themselves, and they had to use strange tricks to defeat Li Jie! When filling in the tunnels excavated by the last time the Min army blasted the city wall, Constantine IV deliberately left a part of it, and after a small amount of widening, it became a sharp weapon for attacking the Min army.

Now there are almost more than 8,000 mercenaries from the barbarians who have come to the Fujian army camp from all over the tunnels to ignite fires and create chaos, and in front of the city gate under his feet, 3,000 Roman ironclad paladazions and more than 15,000 Baogar cavalry have also gathered, and the hooves of those war horses are still kicking and snorting anxiously.

The night is the best ally of the night raiders, the light is limited, the attacked people can't distinguish between friend and foe at all, and they are full of only their own chaotic camp, it seems that everyone is fleeing, this kind of night tension and loneliness can easily cause irrepressible fear, once the large-scale chaos is generated, with the ferocity of this cavalry, Constantine IV will repeat the Constantinople massacre three years ago.

The corners of his mouth continued to hook upward, and under the smiling gaze of Constantine IV, the city gate built by the Min people also burned, and a group of black Hun mercenaries smiled ferociously and half-retreated the walled gate.

But at this moment, Constantine IV's smile froze on his face, and a white light pierced his eyes from the barrel of the telescope!

As early as the defeat of Li Ji's army, the Great Min Command has carefully studied the lessons of the night attack, the Tang army itself has many successful night raids, and these night raid masters naturally have a way to counter the night attack, although the temple did not expect the Romans' tunnel attack, but for the night attack, the Min army has long had a plan for prevention.

Since the biggest obstacle to a night raid is the night, it's better to make the night brighter!

As early as the invasion of Arabia, the Min army had already used flares, which is a kind of thing that uses magnesium rice and gunpowder combustion to create a strong light, and magnesium was not refined until 1808 in history.

This is also thanks to the first alchemist of Damin, the heavenly master Li Feisheng, who made gunpowder for Li Jie, after the fireworks in the Great Ci'en Temple caused a sensation, Li Jie once complained that the fireworks were not bright enough, so this old Taoist priest who pursued perfection devoted himself to research.

The methods of ancient alchemists are really worthy of admiration, they also have quite a lot of creative inventions when they fool the emperor and general to eat heavy metal poison pills, Li Jie doesn't know what the principle is, this thing forcibly separated magnesium from an alchemy material called bitter soil, although the purity is very poor, but it is enough!

A magnesium bullet was fired into the air, the strong white light illuminated half of the sky, mixed into the military camp of the Roman sneak attack soldiers suddenly had nothing to hide, in their stunned gaze, the Fujian army guarding the city gate smiling and rushing out with a steel crossbow, a burst of crossbow arrows shot, dozens of sturdy Hun soldiers were immediately shot into a sieve.

In order to deal with loneliness and panic, Li Jie also thought of a method, which was borrowed from the American army in later generations.

At this time, when encountering an attack, the commanders of all armies ordered together to put the steel sheet on the helmet, and the smooth steel plate as a mirror was slightly brighter, and immediately formed a flash of light, which was a good distinction between their own people and the enemy army, and saw that the barracks were full of reflections, and the Fujian army that was attacked suddenly became bolder.

"Weak and timid Min dog, go to death!" The Jiazi battalion, with a two-handed axe shining in the cold light, rushed out of the tunnel, and the sturdy Slavic warrior Leng Buding opened the unlucky Fujian army at the back of the patrol with an axe, and the heavy battle axe cast in pig iron could not resist even the steel helmet of Damin.

However, before the Slavic warrior could retreat into his cave like a hill dwarf in a demonic beast, more than a dozen reflections shook him at once, and he couldn't open his eyes.

"There's a brute here!"

"Kill him! Avenge Li Gouwa! ”

Before the strong Slavic warrior could see his sight, the cold spear had already pierced into his chest.

On the other hand, the T-shaped battalion, the black tooth Changzhi who had been tempered in the early years of the Nantianzhu campaign had already organized the army, a large group of Fujian troops formed a phalanx of spears, and the wall advanced over, and the Ostrogothic soldiers who rushed out to kill people everywhere did not wait for a reaction, more than a dozen people had been stabbed to death into hedgehogs in this intense white light, and some of the remaining people still wanted to use knives and spears to counterattack and kill, and some of them turned around and fled back to the entrance of the cave and ran in the direction of Constantinople.

In this way, those authentic locations are also exposed.

There are even some Christianity and extremely devout sneak attack sergeants simply threw their weapons, wept bitterly and knelt on the ground and shouted God, in their impression, it seems that only the door of heaven can be opened to release such a bright light in the dark night, for this kind of mentally collapsed enemy, the Min army did not kill, but under the command of the officer, brought bundles of straw branches, poured some water, and then lit and threw them into the tunnel, and hurriedly covered the passage cover.

Just now the two Fujian army tunnels are smoky, many digging Fujian soldiers even smoked alive in the tunnel, obviously the Romans released poisonous smoke, but this time, they also tasted the taste of poisonous smoke, the entire passage, the violent coughing sound can be heard clearly in the distance.

Head of the city of Constantinople.

"Your Majesty, yet, are you still attacking?"

The intense white light also shook the defenders of Constantinople, and seeing that some of the ironclad palsaders under his command knelt down tremblingly and prayed, the prefect of the guard, Julius, trotted to Constantine IV's side tremblingly, and asked with a stumbling question.

The victory smile that was in his hands just now had disappeared, his face was cold, and he just roared out in a hard and icy voice.

"Collect the troops!"

At the entrance of the tunnel inside the city wall, a stream of smoke also burned over, and there were soldiers with black faces who escaped from it, and some even ran to the entrance of the cave but died limply below, the Fujian army camp opposite, the artifact white light was still released on the head of the Fujian army, and the Roman legions besieged in the enemy camp made that kind of screaming and hissing before they died, and the Roman cavalry of the brigade led the horses like frosted eggplants, and each returned to their own barracks.

This night attack was the defeat of Constantine IV! Instead of defeating the Min army, he caused himself a serious panic, and with the sleeves of his purple robe, Constantine IV rushed into the Hagia Sophia with a stunned gaze, kicked the door slammed shut, and a moment later, there was a violent smashing sound from inside.

This night, inside and outside the city, there was chaos......
