Dust fell overhead, the walls cracked several large openings, from here you could directly look out of the city, the first wall that blocked it had completely disappeared, pushing away the table that was pressing him, Constantine IV lay on the crack in disbelief, and cried out in despair.

"Oh God! Have you stopped bless the Romans and turned to these infidels? ”

But in just a moment, seeing the fallen city foot, Constantine suddenly realized again, and cried out through gritted teeth.

"Min dog! You're ruthless! ”

The continuous months of fighting were actually carried out to cover up Li Ji's strategy, and in order to deceive the defenders of Constantinople, Li Ji used four strategies in succession.

Hide from the world! Go up the house and draw a ladder! Li Dai Tao stiff! Cast a mist before somebody's eyes!

The excavation of the trench, which seems to be to reduce the damage during the siege, is actually to dig the lower tunnel as a cover, the Fujian army constantly uses shovels, pickaxes and even stone mills to tamp the tunnel, and the clanging sound of knocking is transmitted to the city, which not only disrupts the listening system, but also makes the Romans focus all their attention on the tunnel, and turn a deaf ear to the vibration underground.

To this end, the underground excavation corps carried out a highly accurate operation, each of the girders supporting the tunnel were reinforced three times, and the height of the ground operation was the same, as soon as the ground stopped, they immediately called it a day, the ground began to dig, they also started to dig, and for fear that the Romans would notice, when digging to the city foundation, the operating soldiers were carefully peeling out the cement inlaid with square bricks with a knife, so that the masonry was dragged out hard, instead of directly chiseling the masonry with more effort.

With such care, for more than half a month, the Romans simply did not notice.

However, deception is not enough for this step, Li Ji deceived the second step, for seven consecutive days he commanded the Fujian army to attack Constantinople to the death, even if the casualties were mixed with still refused to retreat, a frontal breakthrough look, further attracted the attention of the Roman defenders to the city, this is to besiege the life of the soldiers, instead of the underground operation of the tunnel this peach withered, what is more ruthless is that Li Ji did not even tell his own subordinates, what he was afraid of was to give them a back road, and the fight was not realistic.

The Great Min Army was desperate to attack, and the artillery continued to bombard the city wall, you must know that the city wall of Constantinople is a stone city, not a traditional Chinese brick rammed earth city, although the stone is much stronger than the rammed earth, but it is very easy to break, the rammed earth city often produces deformation when encountering a distance blow, absorbing the blow force, and the continuous shelling is to make the stone of Constantinople continue to crack, and the inside of the city wall has become full of gaps and unreliable, which further creates conditions for the collapse of the tunnel.

Moreover, the onslaught of the Min army really made Constantine IV pay all his attention to the city, and did not find himself empty under his feet at all.

Once the Romans entered the palace, they fell for Li Ji's plan to go up to the house and draw ladders, making them think that the city wall could completely resist the Min army, but the back road was taken away by Li Ji!

In the end, I was afraid that the effect was not shocking enough, Li Ji sang today's play again, so that the Romans thought that their spiritual pillars, God had blessed foreign enemies, and they had been abandoned by God, just when the Roman defenders followed Paul to recite the Bible, Li Ji ordered to stuff the thousands of fat pigs and large piles of powder kegs that had been collected recently into the seven or eight tunnels dug out, and then ignited the ignition in the tunnels.

The raging fire burned the fat pigs, burned down the wooden beams, and caused the tunnel to collapse to form a closed space, and the lard and gunpowder exploded violently in the narrow space, which had just brought the earth to life.

The effect of the spiritual shock was not generally good, thousands of Roman defenders were buried in the dust by the collapsed city wall, not to mention, the Greek and Roman defenders on the second wall were all like lost souls, kneeling on the ground miserably, shouting and crying loudly to the sky.

Even if the Min army has attacked on a large scale, these people don't seem to have the slightest intention of resisting.

The Min army had already charged forward spontaneously, and did not even bother to burrow into the ditch, but ran from the ground, and stood at the head of the city, and the huge Constantinople trembled as if facing the black torrent of the Yellow River.

"Hey! It wasn't the old man who ordered the attack! Not really! In the back, Lao Li Ji still had the leisure to shout loudly at this time, and he was such a big leader joking at this time, and Li Yexu, who listened, was speechless.

But at this time, everyone knew that it was a good opportunity to seize the city, Li Yexu turned his head and turned over on his horse, rushed back to the right Qianniuwei at great speed, slammed the war horse, and took advantage of the war horse man to stand, he handsomely pulled out the war knife, and ordered in a loud voice.

"Qianniuwei, offensive !!"

At this time, the charging army rushed to a dozen or so Himalayan left mansion soldiers had excitedly climbed the collapse of the tower because of the collapse of the tower, and the formation of more than three meters of slope, seeing that they were about to rush into the city, but Leng Buding more than a dozen two-handed axes cut over, the fast Fujian soldiers hurriedly sat on the ground, simply slid down, and the two who hid slowly were split by the axe on the spot and died tragically in the gap.

At the critical moment, Constantine IV, who refused to sit still, sent all the Rus guards and Bolgar knights under his command to plug the gap.

In fact, it was not until the 10th to 12th centuries that Christianity was converted to Christianity, and for the Rus' people, the biblical blow was not strong, and these red-eyed barbarians, armed with two-handed axes and heavily armoured, were seduced by the promise of a gold reward from Constantine IV.

These barbarians who migrated from the steppes of South Russia did not mention this era, even in later generations, they were quite strong, and they did not expect that the Fujian army attacking the city today was a little unprepared, but let the thousands of barbarian mercenaries who suddenly rushed out retreat.

Most of the Min troops who came over were lightly armed, only carrying swords and shields, and were cut by the assault heavy axe, and the formation was torn apart immediately, and the front-line Fujian army was cut to the ground.

"Grandma's, no one dares to bully me!"

As he spoke, Sheng Lianshan pulled out a throwing spear dropped by the Romans from the ground and pierced it fiercely.

Among the Rus barbarians, a particularly fierce giant man was pulling the bloody axe out of the chest cavity of a Fujian army, roaring wildly with his chest, coldly throwing a gun into his chest, spurting blood and falling into the rubble pile of the collapse, before the other barbarians could recover from the death of the leader, a strong Min army general as a bear had already snatched his battle axe and fiercely rushed into the pile of people.

The big axe really died when touched, and died after snorting, and an axe was used by Sheng Lianshan like a whirlwind, and the barbarians everywhere they passed were all broken bones and tendons, and a large number of people died.

Seeing that his main general was like a madman and killed into the ground formation, those who followed the pro-soldiers of Sheng Lianshan almost didn't cry, the Great Min Military Law, the main general died in battle and followed him without incident, and the whole team was killed!

While greeting the ancestors of his main general, more than fifty pro-soldiers rushed into the ground like mad tigers without fear of death.

With the resistance of Sheng Lianshan's pro-army, the offensive of the Rus barbarian heavy infantry outside the assault outside the city was a pause, so that the light infantry of the Fujian army who was beaten without the power to fight back was able to pull away a distance.

"Crossbowman, shoot your feet!"

The Damin steel crossbow that had not been used for many days immediately fired a volley at the back of the Ross mercenaries who surrounded Sheng Lianshan in Li Yexu's roar, and the Damin crossbow was a special triangular vertebra armor-piercing arrow, even if the Ross people were wearing heavy armor, they still died a large number of people in a single shot, and in the scream, Sheng Lianshan's bloody pro-soldier team was exposed.

"Spearman, !! with me" pulled out the chain gun that was specially made for the last assault again, roaring, and Li Yexu also personally led the team to rush forward.

Huaxia has always been short in the south and long in the north, but the largest group of Tang people in the Fujian army were northerners who took advantage of the Luoyang rebellion to fool them, and they were the best at spears and halberds.

Some of the Rus were brutal, wielding axes to cut off several spearheads in a row, but then a dozen spears stabbed into his iron-clad chest, and a few blood holes were pierced in the sound of poof, and some barbarians were timid and wanted to retreat, but the Rus' tactics were cluster impacts, and a group of people slashed down together to cause rows of damage, and such a dense queue could not retreat at all.

Only when death was on the verge of death, the Rus frantically threw the battle axe, which caused some damage and gaps to the Min army, taking advantage of the almost Rus barbarians to rush over, and killed a few lancers at close range, but soon these people fell into the encirclement of the Min light infantry.

Without the protection of the formation, even if it is such a ferocious and powerful army as the Rus barbarians, it is not a well-trained opponent of the Fujian army, the two light infantry blocked the axe of the Rus with a shield, and before he could pull it out, the rest of the light infantry had already stabbed the horizontal knife like a tide, and stabbed it into the chest of the Rus, more than a dozen knives pierced it, as strong as the Rus barbarians, and fell down like cattle.

There was a scuffle everywhere, the morale of the Min army was simply more and more courageous, rows of lancers rushed out, and the crossbowmen continued to throw at the back, more than an hour, the Rus barbarians who had rushed out were killed, and the remaining barbarian heavy infantry also had no fighting spirit, and they threw away their armor in a panic and wanted to flee back to the city.

But at this time, they were shocked to find that the gap behind them had been blocked by the Romans with a boulder!

Constantine IV is still using them after all! When abandoned, there was not even the slightest pity.
