Chapter 1312. Put all one’s eggs in one basket
Although he felt that something was wrong, on the ninth day, the Min army still did not turn around as Li Jie's will, and continued to attack Constantinople with all its might. [This site has a new URL,Shorthand method:,.]
Today, the defenders at the head of Constantinople also clearly felt a trace of unusual smell, in the past, there were only five Fujian army legions attacking the city, but today it has increased to fifteen, and the formation is much denser than before, and it looks like what the flag looks like, what half-orcs, camels, sheep, instead of a single Chinese character banner a few days ago.
A mountain rain is about to come, and the smell of the wind filling the building fills the entire city, and all the Roman defenders feel that today Damin is going to do an understanding!
"Just repel today's infidel attack! Victory will belong to the great Rome, and you, warriors who fought for God, you will all remove the sins from your body and ascend to heaven, warriors! ”
Constantine came to the city again with the double-headed golden eagle banner, and Archbishop Baldwin and his priests shouted even harder.
The power of Christianity in the world comes from the sacrifice of Christ, and it is said that Jesus accumulated a huge amount of merit by his own death, and after his resurrection, he gave this merit to his twelve disciples, so the twelve bishops of Christianity declared that they had the right to forgive sins.
In other words, it was easier for the archbishop to let whoever go to heaven go to heaven than Wang Feng made headlines, which was also the source of the Holy See's right to peddle indulgences and launch crusades. Listening to the heartfelt assurances of a large group of priests, many Roman defenders felt that their whole body was full of strength, and they wanted to fight now.
Similarly, on the Fujian army array, one by one officers are also doing their best to boost the morale of their command, in front of the palace guards composed of Japanese people, more than a dozen samurai shrouded in large armor howled Wali Wali Wow, Tatak and other ugly Japanese language, in front of the Arabs riding camels, one by one imams promised holy war, take this pagan city, can also ascend to heaven Yunyun, more affordable is still to come, with an order from Yuwen Jie, dozens of heavy boxes were carried to the front again, opened, The glittering gold and silver inside immediately dazzled the eyes of the warriors of all races.
Shortness of breath, tens of thousands of people's eyes were attracted by the gold and silver that was lifted high to the center, the effect of these things is self-evident!
Sun Tzu's Art of War: Whoever kills the enemy, is angry! Those who take the enemy, the goods also! Those who get more than 10 cars in the car battle will be rewarded for the first winner and more of their flags! Mobilize the soldiers to fight either to provoke their anger or their greed! The Arabs were born to be at odds with the Christian Greeks, and with so many gold, silver and jewels as a reward, the army of more than 100,000 people was even more imposing.
However, Li Jie didn't seem to care about such a magnificent army of 150,000, the king of Min, who had already arrived on the battlefield to supervise the battle in the past, was still in the big tent of the Chinese army at this time, in front of him, there were thirty-two black generals, each carrying a yellow package on their backs, everyone kneeling on one knee like a statue, with his left hand on the ground and his right hand on his knee, motionless, his eyes staring closely at their supreme King Min.
Li Jie was also unprecedentedly solemn at this time, he had always worn armor, and this time he also put a full set of cumbersome King Min on his body, nine black dragons circled around his body, first extremely powerful and solemn, his eyes also stared at these kneeling soldiers, Li Jie's voice was solemn, almost word by word.
"All the victories and defeats in today's battle will fall on you, only success, not failure! Tonight, the widow will get the news of victory! ”
"The wounded are recuperated, and the deceased and widows regard their families as the same relatives! What the widow wants, have you ever known? ”
"Go forward bravely, kill without regret!" Thirty-two samurai neatly nodded their heads down.
These people are selected from all ethnic groups who are the most loyal to themselves, and even have a kind of fanatical religious worship for themselves, they are the real dead soldiers of the King of Min, listening to the neat answer, Li Jie also nodded with satisfaction, and then waved his hand: "Disperse!"
The samurai, whose face was covered in a black mask, retreated neatly out of the tent, and in the blink of an eye, disappeared into the vast sea of people.
"Your Majesty, this is a dangerous move! If the yellow medicine that the Fang Shi said could not reach the expected hope, the huge price paid in today's battle would be in vain! As soon as the warriors left, Wang Fangyi turned out of the back tent again, watching their departing figures, and narrated solemnly.
Li Jie clapped his hands easily at this time: "The arrow is on the string, I have to send it, and no one believes that the destiny is mine!" The heavens have shown that this battle will be won, so why worry about the widows? ”
"Besides!" Li Jie's face suddenly revealed an unprecedented divine light, and he snorted coldly and said, "Widows hate to wait!" For such a broken city, the widow has waited too long! ”
Wang Fangyi still opposes this plan, but as Li Jie said, the arrow has to be sent! After being dull for a long time, he still asked worriedly: "Really, don't you give His Royal Highness the King of Hezhong more hints?"
"He is the son of a widow, and the widow has honed him for many years, just for today, if even this matter needs to be mentioned by the widow, I might as well send him back to Chang'an and be a rich man!"
King Min's family is known for their warm family affection, but after all, this involves cold and cold rights, and pushing incapable people to high positions is tantamount to harming him.
also calculated his position in the future, Wang Fangyi folded his hands and quickly retreated.
There was no one else, Li Jie simply withdrew his belt, the wide and cumbersome dress suddenly slipped off, revealing the black dragon Mingguang armor inside, and picked up the horizontal knife on the shelf, Li Jie also strode out of the tent and went straight to the battlefield.
At this time, the most fierce siege battle has begun, under the cover of artillery, tens of thousands of Arabs, Japanese people, Persians, Romans and Caucasian Min people shouted to push the heavy siege equipment, quickly approached the city, today, the remaining eight ladders, twelve well railings were all thrown into the battlefield, the huge siege equipment roared like giants.
At the head of the city, under the overwhelming artillery fire, the Roman defenders were also like crazy, bows and crossbows and arrows flew locusts to the city, even if they were immediately crushed by the cannonballs that came over, they had to pull a few pads on their backs before dying.
The Greek fire hit the ground, immediately several people burned into fire people, the ballistas roared through, in the siege team flowed out of a bloody road, was shot into a hedgehog by bows and arrows, the Min army fell in groups, but it was so that it could not resist the crazy advance of the Fujian army, in the creaking sound, the second ladder of the eight cloud ladders hooked the city head together, and the tide of the Min army rushed up.
On the second city wall, the sharp bow and crossbow projectiles immediately hit the sky again, and the two or three hundred people of the Min army who were charged up first were directly hit by the attack that had nowhere to dodge and fell down to the city, but this time the Min army was completely stacked with human lives, and the sergeants behind were still rushing up, and the short Japanese warriors rolled into the Slavic heavy infantry array, and with a wave of short knives, more than a dozen defenders covered their thighs and fell screaming, and the Arabs behind drew their bows and arrows and shot from afar. Almost without exception, vicious arrows plunged into the throats of the Roman defenders under their armor, and almost in the blink of an eye, the Min army seized a large area of position at the head of the city.
The mercenary guards wailed through the corridors of the towers, known as Death Canyon.
…………
When the fierce battle on the walls of Theodosius was in full swing, the opposite side of the Golden Horn was still a pool of stagnant water at this time, and after the Northern Route Army took the Galatian Fort, it was always in a state of standby, and the artillery bombardment on the opposite side of the Golden Horn was not even a battle.
At this time, in the big tent of the Central Army of the Northern Route Army, with the order sent by Li Jie, Li Rang couldn't help but be full of doubts.
The thing sent by Li Jie can be called a treasure of the Fujian Kingdom, the Purple Gold Tiger Talisman, which is equivalent to delegating all the rights of the Northern Route Army to Li Rang, but Li Jie's order is only four words.
You look at it!
Looking at this order, Li Rang immediately fell into distress, this look has too many meanings, do you want him to attack, or defend?
"Your Majesty has launched a fierce attack on the western city wall today, and Your Majesty has written to Your Highness in the hope that Your Highness can also make meritorious achievements, and the last general is willing to be the vanguard and cross the sea to attack Constantinople!"
The kite was still as straightforward as ever, and the sonorous voice echoed in the tent, but Li Rang only frowned, and his attention was on Yao Chong's body again.
After Li Chou was driven back to Shu, Yao Chong relied on his extraordinary wisdom and strategy to sit all the way to the position where Li Chou once was, and even Li Rang's reliance on him surpassed Li Chou's, his brows tightened for a moment, but Yao Chong shook his head solemnly.
"If Your Majesty wants His Highness to attack the city, an order is sufficient, and there is no need to go around in circles like this! Certainly not a siege! ”
"Are we just watching?" Guo Zhifeng suddenly couldn't sit still, but Yao Chong shook his head again: "Wait-and-see is the heaviest crime in the war, and Your Majesty will also entrust the heavy troops to His Highness!"
As soon as his tone changed, Yao Chong said again: "But the more at this time, the more we should be calm, first respond to all changes with the same, protect ourselves, there will definitely be changes!" What needs to be done now is to wait and see what happens! ”
Guo waited to seal the cloud and mountain fog cover, depressed out of the army, the group was still distressed to sit in the big tent, Yao Chong's brows were almost wrinkled, thinking hard about the intentions of King Min, but at this time, Yao Chong's eyes suddenly straightened.
In the teacup in his hand, the tea was vibrating outward and rippling!!
