Beginning on 16 August, this kind of onslaught lasted for seven days, and all units of the Fujian army took turns to go into battle, and the artillery was almost non-stop, and for more than ten days, the loss of each department was no less than 6,000, and even the broken tiger squat cannon and general cannon and other firearms were piled together into a hill, piled up at the gate of the camp and emitting green smoke.

Artillery was indeed the nemesis of the fortress, and Constantinople was not easy under the onslaught of the Min army, except for the thirty-two near the Golden Horn in the north, which the Min army did not attack, and almost all the rest were smashed by heavy artillery and shattered into a pile of rubble.

As for this section of the 1,000-meter city wall, it is full of holes in the large and small cannonballs, iron cannonballs, lead bullets, flowering bullets, grape bullets, large cracks all over the entire city wall, and the female wall has all collapsed, only revealing the bare city wall inside.

Even the Golden City Gate Triumphal Arch, which represents the highest honor of the Roman Empire, has become a piece of rubble at this time, on August 20, Li Ji ordered to concentrate 500 tiger squat cannons to bombard the largest city gate, did not expect that the Fujian army was so strong to break through the strength of the Romans just locked the golden city gate, the iron-clad heavy city gate was opened by artillery more than ten large openings, the Fujian army rushed in from here, and the defenders broke out in a fierce hand-to-hand encounter on the wall platform between the first and second floors.

On that day, the Min army killed thousands of soldiers, 26 captains, 11 captains, and even one general, and the bloody battle ended in the evening, but it finally ended with the Romans driving the Min army out and blocking the city gate with gravel.

Rome also paid a great price in the continuous bitter battles, but the double-headed golden eagle banner of Constantinople was always hoisted at the head of the city, and the siege of the city had been brutal for fifteen days.

On August 23, the sixth year of the Great Min Dynasty, when the sun had just risen from the far east, and the bitter and salty sea breeze of the Mediterranean Sea was still rushing in with the sharp cold air in the night, the majestic snare drum had already sounded, and the Great Min lion once again showed its sharp minions and gathered from the barracks.

It's just that when it just landed in Europe half a month ago, the huge Fujian army also showed a state of exhaustion, the battle flag was blackened by Greek fire in the fierce siege, and half of it was still hunting and drifting, and the queue of the sergeants was not as neat as before, and some brigades and military governments even reduced their personnel by more than half, and the eyes of the soldiers were full of bloodshots, and the entire army was like a scarred lion.

But as soon as the war drums sounded, the lion still roared and got up, **** wounds on the one hand, and still exuded the majesty of the king of beasts, and looked down on the small dirt slope that blocked its way.

It's a pity that at this time, the generals of Damin have lost the sharpness they had before the war, and a war horse that followed Li Ji left and went out of the camp, with Sun Dezhen, the general of the left guard, Zheng Shu, the general of the left and right guards, Song Xie, and more than a dozen Zhonglang generals, the head of the Zhichong Mansion, still chattering and persuading.

"Boss, rest for two days!"

"Your Majesty didn't urge, and Constantinople can't run, let the soldiers take a breath!"

"Boss! Just rest for two days! Two days later, the last general personally led his troops to capture Constantinople, and if he couldn't take it, the last general would die on the head of the city! ”

The casualties are too tragic, too heavy, and even death is secondary, and the mental pressure of going to the battlefield at any time to die is the most unbearable, and even some sergeants wake up from sleep coldly, shouting loudly to attack the city! Besiege! The leaders of the various armies were so frightened that they did not dare to sleep in the middle of the night, for fear of a camp roar.

In seven days, it has indeed reached a critical period, and if there is no rest, the commanders of the various armies are really afraid that their morale will collapse.

However, the persuasion of so many people, Li Ji seemed to be deaf to that, and still rode the war horse and walked towards the outside of the camp bistfully, looking at the stubborn appearance of this old man, and finally Li Yexu had to kick the war horse himself, stopped in front of Li Ji, and begged earnestly.

"General, it's really time to rest! If you continue to fight like this, even if the city is captured and the soldiers are gone, what will you do to defend this land! ”

Such as the eldest grandson Dezhen, Zheng Kang, Song Xie and others are the highest but General Wei, Zheng Si, in the Tang Dynasty, Zheng Si and from the three on a huge watershed, from three above, is to have the opportunity to enter the cabinet to become the prime minister of a level, the real power of the imperial court, only one difference is the fourth, although it is a minion, but it also belongs to the minion.

Li Ji can ignore their suggestions, but he can't ignore Li Yexu, a character who is equal to his own weight, and seeing that he has spoken, although Sheng Lianshan in the back is still full of fighting spirit, he has always advanced and retreated with Li Yexu, and he will definitely dissuade him, and the old Li Ji had to wave his hand helplessly.

"General Li, the old man won't attack the city today!"

No more sieges!!

Then why are you still pulling up such a big battle?

Suddenly, from Li Yexu to the lieutenants, captains, and lieutenant generals below, a lot of question marks popped up on their heads, but seeing that Li Ji still continued to walk out like a god operator, and refused to explain, they had no choice but to be depressed and follow Li Ji to continue to leave the camp.

However, everyone was still relieved, since Li Ji promised in public not to attack the city today, it is impossible for a person like him to lie, if he really does that, even if Li Ji is old, his prestige will be lost, and the King of Min will not use him again in the future, and he will naturally not have to do it in the future.

In the confusion of the generals, the Damin army still unfolded scarred in the wilderness.

Another thing that Li Ji has criticized these days is that even if the trench outside the western wall of Constantinople has been dug like a labyrinth, Li Jie is like a demon, constantly assigning sappers to increase and widen the trench, even at this time, there are still a thousand people who continue to lift up the dust.

"Herald! Sappers withdraw! ”

Finally stopped the seemingly meaningless tactical actions of the generals, and then Li Ji, who was standing on the general's platform, issued a series of mind-baffling orders.

"Jinshan Mansion, Reclamation Mansion, Kill Hukou Mansion! You and other lieutenants led their troops to play black flags, brag horns, and set off from the Chinese army, two columns of queues, seven circles around the north of the city! ”

"Broken Mansion, Himalayan Middle Mansion, Ganges Mansion! You and other lieutenants led their troops to play the red flag, brag about the horn, and set off from the Chinese army, two columns of queues, seven circles around the south of the city! ”

Li Ji named the most tragic battle in the siege of the city these days, and saw more than 5,000 scarred soldiers waving flags and blowing horns, marching out like a parade, and the generals were even more confused.

"Brother Li, which one is the chief manager singing?" couldn't help it, Sheng Lianshan tugged at Li Yexu's sleeve depressedly and muttered quietly.

Without waiting for Li Yexu to put on a look of helplessness, Li Ji suddenly gave another order.

"The generals obeyed the order, immediately returned to their own formation, waved flags and drums, and shouted and cheered! With the strength of our army, scare the Romans! ”

This order almost didn't make Li Yexu spew out, and he didn't take it for so many days! If a shout can scare the Romans, why are they still fighting desperately?

However, Lao Li Ji's beard was curled up with the majesty, obviously not a joke, and after thinking about it, he was strong and strong before resting, and told the Romans that Lao Tzu was not frightened by you, and he would come back! Fortunately, thinking of this, Li Yexu and others also returned to the town one after another, for a time the drums thundered, thousands of horses galloped, and on the battlefield of several kilometers, countless Fujian troops waved their flags, beat their shields and shouted the roar of more than 100,000 people, which was really magnificent.

The Min army is so big moving, the Roman defenders defending the city have long found that one by one the defenders cautiously poked their heads out of the ruins and looked at them, they have been frightened by the flexible tiger squat artillery attack of the Min these days, and they have learned well, only when the Min army climbs the city, they will come out of the bunker, the collapsed arrow tower, and the ruins to drill out and fight with the Min people, once the Min army retreats, they also follow and immediately retreat.

This is a blood-bought experience, and those who run slowly are almost killed by the cannons.

It was also obscene to hide in a particularly thick second-layer city wall tunnel, looking through binoculars, Constantine IV and several radical Christian generals were all gritting their teeth and scolding.

"The Min dog, who should be cursed to go to hell, is performing some vicious and evil pagan ritual again!"

It is true that the action of the Fujian army waving the flag and shouting, raising the flag and parading is really very similar to the time when the King of Min sacrificed to the sky, and there is nothing wrong with the Roman monarchs and ministers understanding it this way, who knows that after they insulted for a while, the situation has undergone a new change.

"Patriarch the Protector, please go to the city of Constantinople and read the Bible, the Book of Joah, to them."

The Patriarch of the Protector is Anna's old acquaintance, Father Paul, who saved Anna's life on the night of the chaos, and now he is not bad in Damin, nominally becoming the chief patriarch of all Christian churches in Damin, and also came to Constantinople.

Li Ji coldly gave an order, almost didn't let Paul fall off the command car, and was stupid for a moment, then turned around and pointed to his nose in astonishment and asked, "Lord Li is going to be an official to read the Bible to Constantinople?"

"That's right! Sir is the first Christian pastor in my Damin, and only Sir can influence these stubborn people! Come, Mr. Protector goes to the front of the battle, preach the Bible road! ”

At this time, the position of the Great Min Army was close to the distance of three hundred meters from the city wall, and if he walked forward, he would enter the design range of Roman ballistae and scorpions, and Paul still had thirty-six Japanese nuns and a lot of treasures waiting for him to enjoy, he really did not want to take risks.

However, Li Ji couldn't help but say, he had already pushed him off the command car, seeing that the thirty-six members of the guarding him were tall and heavy shields, not to mention holding the tower shield, and the right hand was also holding the ghost head dagger, and the cold sweat broke out a little more, Paul had to look impassioned for Damin, and he did not hesitate to throw his head and spill blood, and shrank in the middle of the thirty-six shield hands step by step, grinding towards the battlefield.

Seeing Paul's slow pace, Lao Li Ji's wrinkled old face actually showed an old fox-like smile again............
