Chapter 1292. Then under the city of Constantinople

The Pannonian Plain, the largest plain in Europe, and nine Eastern European countries such as Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Austria, Serbia, Croatia, and Ukraine are wrapped in it.

The Roman Empire had conquered part of it, and in the era of Li Jie, Romania was developed by the Roman legionnaires who received the land after retiring from the army, and now, the Germanic people, who re-represented European civilization, have set foot here again, and on the banks of the Danube, the Frankish settlements dotted around are like mushrooms growing after the rain.

The Frankish towns still carried the roughness of the Germanic people, with sharpened wooden stakes nailed to the ground in two rows, and then filled with earth, and built a fence wall on top, and the periphery of a town was repaired, and the whole center of the town was the product of Christianity, and the dwellings were randomly distributed along the perimeter of the church, there were no special roads, chickens, ducks, pigs and sheep walked around the town, and there was dung everywhere, and these Franks did not dislike dirty.

The town is lined with large chunks of newly cultivated farmland.

The Frankish kingdom did not have the strength of the Great Min, which could provide millions of soldiers with a year or even a few years of war supplies outside, and defeated the Avars in winter, Pepin only left sixteen vassal counts to defend the newly opened territory, and canonized a Bavarian duke to govern here, leaving their men and horses to reclaim, and led the large army to retreat.

Under the Rhine, on the fertile plain, the crops grew particularly strong, although they were serfs who had lost their freedom, a large group of peasants looked at the tall wheat, and still showed an unprecedented sense of happiness, the master ate white bread, at least they could nibble on a few more pieces of black bread!

As night fell, the peasants outside packed up their tools and returned to the big enclosure, and the sentries in the city closed the walls of the wall, which were tied up with wood, and everything seemed to be normal.

When night fell, the whole prairie became dark, there was no modern era, the night was dark, and the five fingers were missing, and several patrolmen covered their hands and complained, while walking back and forth non-stop.

But suddenly, a flash of what seemed to be something hit the guard's face, and he paused for a second, leaning on the wall and looking down.

But in the next second, half an arrow shaft appeared on his neck, and it fell down like a stone.

The disaster came so quickly, before the defenders reacted, there were countless hideous figures climbed up along the low city wall, the Huns were especially good at night battles, when they swept through the Roman Empire, many times the Roman army was defeated by the night, the Romans couldn't even see the Huns clearly, they could only call them the devil of the night in fear!

The roars of men, the screams of women, the cries of women, the jingling of the church bells, the crowd fled into the church in fear, and closed the doors. While following the bishop and praying with fists, the peasant women turned back tremblingly, but the sound of fear penetrated into their ears like a magic sound all the time.

Suddenly, the sound stopped abruptly, and everyone shuddered in astonishment, even the archbishop looked at the door in astonishment.

In the next second, the door was kicked open, and a Hun with two beards and a low stature, but carrying a bloody scimitar, walked in with a hideous smile.

…………

A heavy flame burned on the newly built city of the Franks, eighteen settlements were burned in a few nights, the Franks did not expect that the Huns had endured for more than half a year, and the first shot was so sharp, the newly crowned Duke of Bavaria, Henry the Lion, became a sick cat Henry, and was besieged by more than 100,000 Hun cavalry regiments in the city of Vienna, which had been repaired more than halfway, and a letter was sent to Paris desperately.

The Franks were unlucky, but they were the luck of Damin!

These all-pervasive Huns were attracted to the north, and without these Huns, the invasion of Damin was also in full swing, departing from Rhodes every day, transporting soldiers to Europe like a carp crossing the river, sending one army after another to the land of Europe.

This conquest of Constantinople was far more prepared than it had been three years earlier, and with a third of Macedonia to rely on, after pacifying Egypt, Liu Renliang led the Great Min Naval Division to sweep towards the Aegean Sea like a net, and the legions landed directly in the walled port of Vessy.

The lone army has been here for three years, and when the loyal and brave Eight Guards vanguard army Benduwei landed in the port under the leadership of Sheng Lianshan, the general of Zuo Qianniuwei, Su Lie, the hussar general, couldn't help but give him a heavy hug.

Lou Shide was really a talented general, and with the help of several Roman senators, he not only stabilized the place, but also remembered a lot of food supplies in three years, which were provided to the loyal and brave eight guards of the vanguard army.

In order to transport all the more than 400,000 troops across the sea, it would take at least 20 days to transport the transportation capacity of Damin, so before all the follow-up troops arrived, Sheng Lianshan had already commanded the legion to carry out an early attack on Constantinople.

also knew that Macedonia was a strategic place, and in three years Constantine IV tried to recover this land, sent spies to Thessalonica, persuaded the local wealthy families, and then with the cooperation of the Hun cavalry, the army came to seize it, and even attacked from the Peloponnese, Achaea and Byzantium at the same time, but with the joint cooperation of Su Dingfang and Lou Shide, they were all beaten back one by one.

Now, the main army has arrived, and the Fujian people can also raise their eyebrows and counterattack, and the five legions of the loyal and brave eight guards were dispatched together, cutting off the fortresses built by the Romans one after another along the way, and without much effort, the Romans were forced back to Constantinople again with superior forces.

At the beginning of August, Li Jie himself also boarded the ship to leave Asia, and before leaving Rhode Island, Li Jie proudly swore to the whole army that he would never return to Asia again if he did not break Constantinople this time!

Coincidentally, it was close to August 15, and the 400,000-strong army of the Great Min Army once again semi-surrounded Constantinople along the camp arranged by Li Ji last time.

Looking down from the city, from the sea to the Danube, everywhere is the fluttering banners of the Great Min, the heavy ironclad cavalry of the Fujian army constantly patrols along the edge of the barracks, the hooves of the horses splash a large amount of dust, the infantry advances like a wall, and the shouting trumpets are clear to the ears.

Standing at the top of the wall, the new prime minister of the Eastern Roman Empire, Archduke Mitchell, could not help but sigh more than a thousand years ago, when the Greeks who lived here saw the majestic scene of the Persian army crossing the sea.

"Ahh My God! Why did you turn yourself into an Oriental, take the name Li Jie, and then bring all mankind to destroy Rome? ”

It just so happened that Constantine IV was also patrolling the city, and listening to the frightened sigh of his prime minister, Constantine IV couldn't help but snort coldly.

"Then Constantinople is the hot spring pass of the Min people! No matter how many Fujian people come, they will all die under the walls of Constantinople! Leave no !! ”

With a hideous face, Constantine IV stared fiercely at the golden double-headed dragon banner of the Fujian army fluttering under the city......
