There is always a striking resemblance between successful civilizations, just like the siege equipment, the well railings of the Fujian army, the rushing cars, the ladders, the rams, etc., although they are completely different from the Roman style, but these big guys are placed in front of the Fujian army formation, and there are more and more, and the Roman commanders can still roughly guess the function of these things. XsHuoTXt

For example, the well fence siege tower, which is a large basket-like thing supported by more than a dozen thick woods, twelve to fourteen meters high, almost level with the city wall, a few days ago there were only three, and now it has doubled to six, this thing completely cancels the height advantage of the city wall, standing on this, the Min soldiers can see the movement on the city wall clearly, and at the same time condescendingly shoot with a bow and crossbow to suppress the defenders.

There is also a ladder, this thing is not actually a ladder, but also a car with wheels, six wheels carry a wooden slope more than six meters high and more than ten meters long, the slope is divided into two sections, to be fully unfolded, there are also more than ten meters high, it is easy to hook to the city wall, even if there is a trench can not be stopped.

If this thing is pushed under the city, it directly builds a convenient passage for the besieging army to rush to the city wall, without the need to use a ladder to climb to the death, saving the attacker's speed and physical strength.

Six ladders were also placed outside, and twelve giants put a strong mental pressure on the defenders.

As for the most is the rushing car, this kind of thing is topped with a roof-style herringbone cover, and the girder below hangs a heavy iron-clad head battering ram, like a bell hammer that hits a bell, using the swinging force of the rope to hit the city wall, the city gate, is a sharp weapon for attacking the rammed earth tired city wall.

Although the walls of Rome were covered with heavy stones, it was also a major threat if the stones were dug up to expose the rammed earth! Don't forget that the Min army still has gunpowder! Dig a hole and fill it with gunpowder, and as soon as it is detonated, the wall is finished!

There are as many as thirty such rushes, and there seems to be an increase in them.

The military industry of Fujian is extremely developed, these siege equipment has been produced in Damin, disassembled into wooden planks pressed under the cabin and transported directly, the craftsmen of Minning only need to assemble it, but fortunately Constantinople is near the sea, if you want to go deep into the interior to attack the city, it is not so convenient.

The soldiers who surrendered without a fight are the center of Sun Tzu's Art of War strategy, Li Jie put on a foolish thing to scare the Roman defenders to open the city and surrender, but every day watching his siege equipment more and more repaired, the Romans on the opposite wall were pale and trembling, which still gave the Fujian army a lot of morale and raised their morale.

There are so many people in the Fujian army who have a plan to boost their morale, and only the prime minister Yu Wenjie, who supervises the manufacture of ordnance, has a bitter face all day long, and that appearance is like a rich man in the countryside who has lost his chicken.

In the blink of an eye, another seven days had passed, and the armament of the Min army had become more and more, and the entire city was as dull as before the storm was suppressed by the breath of the great war.

On August 26 of the first year of Mingfeng, the sky was fine, and the last heat of the Mediterranean climate made the ground hot, and the wild grasses that emerged were barren, and the scorching heat could be seen.

In the evening, in front of the Damin military camp, in the gap of the wooden village that was knocked down, more than 100 Fujian soldiers shouted the trumpet, pulling a newly built well fence out of the village, and under the spicy sun, the shirtless Fujian people were sweating.

Transported from the gap in the village to the front army formation 300 meters away from the city, these soldiers completed the transportation in less than ten minutes, and transported to the place, a young soldier who had newly enlisted patted the well railing, showing off proudly.

"So-and-so, Zenith! It's getting easier and easier to move this heavy guy! ”

It's a pity that before he could be complacent for a while, the veterans from Bashu had already poured a basin of cold water over him.

"Gua baby! You're going to get a hammer! Didn't you find it! In the past few days, this hammer hammer, Lou Lou, has it been lighter! Otherwise, you can't move a melon baby who is tired! ”

"Impossible! These are to be overseen! If the quality is not up to par, the craftsmen will lose their brains! How can it be light! ”

"It's obviously light, you melon baby! Lao Tzu's gang leader did twenty pounds, and a cart of donkey dung and eggs is heavy, just push it! ”

"It's impossible!"

One Luoyang Yin, one Bashu Yin, while walking back, one old and one young choked, no one obeyed anyone! But just when the two of them were arguing, their faces were red and their ears were red like monkeys, and suddenly, a scream like killing a pig came from the barracks.

"See, Gua Wazi! What Lao Tzu said is to light the toad! This doesn't hit the artisan's belly! ”

With a smug expression, the veteran shrugged his shoulders smugly.

Behind them, the officers and soldiers in charge of guarding the forward battalion rubbed their big noses, and after a round of probing without waking up, they returned to their tents to hide from the sun.

…………

In the barracks, Li Jie's face twitched, as if he wanted to laugh, and seemed to want to get angry again.

In front of him, two people who looked quite rich and wore jewels and rings on their hands, but they were wearing the official uniforms of the four grades of Da Min, an old man and a young man, and the two Roman senators jumped up and down angrily, just like someone who had dug up the ancestral grave, spitting on the old high, even the majesty of the King of Min was a little disregarded, and more than a dozen unlucky Fujian soldiers were stripped of their pants, pressed to the ground and whipped with rattan, and the scream like a ghost crying wolf just now was made by them.

There were also a few Luoyang shovels thrown on the ground, and a large pile of musty gold and silver utensils were thrown aside.

"The two elders rest assured that the widow governs the army strictly, and such bad behavior must be severely punished! will definitely give the two patriarchs justice! ”

Speaking loudly, Li Jie assured the two elders angrily, but then waved his hand again: "These things are stolen goods, the government will confiscate them first, and once the case is clear, they will be returned when the time comes.

Dejected, the two patriarchs staggered away from the Chinese army of King Min, and before leaving, the fatter one turned around and pointed to the beaten soldiers on the ground and scolded a few words, bitter and hateful, just like being dug up the ancestral grave.

In fact, they were really dug up the ancestral graves, no wonder Li Jie's expression was so strange, the Luoyang shovel had only been in his hands for a few days, and someone really took it to rob the tomb, and the few beaten goods in front of them took advantage of the opportunity to go out to patrol and use the Luoyang shovel to dig soil near Constantinople, found and dug up a Roman tomb, and took out a number of bright weapons from it.

It was also bad luck for them, and when they went back and sold the stolen goods to some merchants in the army who collected the spoils of war, they happened to be sold to the two senators of the descendants of this ancient tomb, and the senator's family had the mayor of Constantinople, and one of the rings was clearly recorded in the family atlas, and was recognized by the senator at a glance.

But a few of the tomb robbers were Tang people, and the Tang chief officials would not be willing to punish their soldiers for the two Roman devils, so there was a scene in front of King Min!

Li Jie's face kept tense, and he sent the two Roman elders away nervously, but he finally returned to the table and chair, he couldn't help it anymore, and patted the table and laughed.

At the end of the Qing Dynasty, China was weak, and many tomb robbers from various countries went to China to rob tombs under the banner of exploration, so that in Li Jie's previous life, when he followed his mentor to study the topic, he could only use the microfilm bought back from the British Museum and the Louvre at a high price.

Nervously laughed for a long time, under the stunned gaze of the executing soldiers and the beaten tomb robbers, Li Jie finally restrained his smile, and still hooked his fingers at a few unlucky tomb robbers with a smile.

"A few of you, are the ancestors the generals of Faqiu under Cao Cao and Cao Gong, and the captain of Jin?"

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, how do you know?" The forty-year-old veteran at the head bared his teeth and almost didn't show his back molars, and a small soldier shook his head stupidly.

"Back to Your Majesty, the little ancestor is from the Red Mei Army, and he once excavated the tomb of Emperor Mao of the Han Dynasty......" Before he finished speaking, he was quickly covered by another tomb robber.

There really is! The Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty have only been more than 300 years away, and Li Jie is a fraud, and he has all fooled out, so that Li Jie can smack his mouth, it turns out that Cao Cao really robbed the tomb!

"This incident is very bad for our army! Your actions are simply an insult to the positive image of the Min army! However, no one is guilty of being a saint or a sage! Therefore, the widow will give you a chance to make meritorious contributions! The voice was high and low, and after a few circles, Li Jie mysteriously raised his face to the heads of several tomb robbers who were smoked and cried wolf, and a strange smile bloomed on his face............

Half an hour later, several tomb robbers who had been smoked more than 100 rattans, Min Jun, limped back to the barracks with the wooden seals in their hands, and their faces seemed to be laughing and crying, how strange and how weird.

In less than a moment, after dinner, dozens of fellow tomb robbers were gathered together by them, secretly gathered in a tent, and the oldest grave robber just now distributed a circle of gold talismans with a serious face, and immediately unfolded a map under the surprised eyes of the other fellow tomb robbers, and announced to his accomplices with a holy expression.

"Your Majesty personally named me as the general of Faqiu Zhonglang, the two were stunned, Jiao Da Belly and Liu Lao Wu and the three of them were the captains of the touching gold, and the King of Min personally ordered me to wait to go to a place called British Lux to destroy their ancestral tomb dragon veins! Loot all their weapons back to my Damin! ”

Looking at half of Europe on the map, the British Isles, which are lonely overseas, the eyes of the tomb robbers are all showing incomparable brilliance, faintly remembering the support of the government back then, the nourishment of blatant tomb robbers, and now it is finally back to the era of official thieves in the open, every tomb robber is shouting in his heart, touch the gold, and be happy!

However, while the tomb robbers of the Fujian army were celebrating, Constantinople on the opposite side was not calm, behind the second layer of the city wall, in the night, there were thousands of Roman defenders wearing black cloaks and holding long swords.

Dressed in purple robes, Constantine IV personally passed in front of them with his sword in hand, inspected the whole army, and immediately exclaimed in a low but powerful voice: "For Rome!"

"For Rome!"

At the same time, he replied in a low voice, and soon these well-trained Roman defenders moved the large tiles behind the city walls, and one by one the tunnels were revealed, and thousands of people quickly disappeared into the tunnels.

Behind the simple fence, more than a dozen blonde Fujian army defenders lazily roasted around the fire, and on the side, on the watchtower more than two meters high, the Alan people in charge of the lookout leaned against the pillar, and snot bubbles appeared in their noses, snoring like thunder.

Amid the sound of rustling, a large rat came out of the hole in a panic and fled into the grass in a blink of an eye......
