Chapter 1313. courage

"Enemy Attack !!"

The terrible shouts suddenly opened the bloodshed of the day, and more than a dozen sappers who had gone out to chop wood ran back for their lives, shouting as hard as they could, but before they could run back to the protection of the military formation, the fierce swords that attacked from behind had already shot them to death on the dry lawn one by one.XshuOTXt.CoM

Seeing this, more than a dozen sentries blew the trombone together to warn the whole army, but the trumpet did not last long and then stopped abruptly, and they had to admire the archery skills of these nomads, seven or eight arrows, almost all of which were inserted in the throat of the sentry, and the brass trumpet fell to the ground with a clatter, and a stream of blood flowed down the wooden fence.

The cavalry came so quickly, when the Min army who heard the horn came out of the camp tent with their weapons, the surging Hun cavalry had already jumped over the simple deer village and entered the camp, and the scimitar directly slashed at the throat of the Min army that had not had time to form a formation.

After the cavalry, they left a field of headless corpses.

In order to besiege Galatai Fort, Li Rang's elite army was all at one end of the Golden Horn, and behind the buttocks were some government soldiers used as civilian sappers, and the will to fight was already weak, and they could not withstand the rush of the Hun army like a tide, and within half a moment, it had collapsed.

Seeing this scene, Li Rang's eyes were red when he brought his subordinates to hurry, and the prince of Fujian, who had always been known for his elegance, yelled angrily like a madman: "What about Mahe? Did his horse scout cavalry eat ~ gone? ”

After more than 100 battles with the Bedouins of the desert fox, Li Rang was no longer the nerd with a Confucianism, in order to guard against him, he set up dozens of large and small horse exploration cavalry as an early warning, who knew that none of them came back, so that these Huns poked directly into the ass of the army.

Yao Chong was much calmer at this time, and after looking at the battlefield twice, he folded his hands and bowed to Li Rangyi: "Lord! The Arab light cavalry is good at desert warfare, fighting guerrillas in the Balkan jungles, or these Huns, now is not the time to pursue this, it is only right to drive out this group of northern horseback barbarians! ”

Li Rang didn't answer, and directly shouted and ordered to go out.

"Let General Xue Qi stabilize his position, let go of the arrows, and those who dare to break into the battle will be killed! High-speed Mach, let him rush back with the Bedouins to this king, and if he can't rush back, he will come to me with a head! ”

The loyal and brave Left Army of the Eight Guards, who arrived from the Chinese army, immediately set up a position, and the large shield soldiers formed a shield wall, and the archers rushed out like ants, and the arrows flew out like locusts, regardless of their own people or Huns.

Not to mention the last Li Ji's defeat, the training of the various departments has been strictly ordered if their own side is defeated, even if the brothers are not allowed to get close to their own military formation, Li Rang and Li Jie are different, let the Huns let the Min army break up their own plan to go bankrupt, Li Jie also has more than 20 years of civilian memory, for the army under his command has a sense of closeness, Li Rang was born with a golden spoon in his mouth, he has an indifferent heart under the appearance of Confucianism, and the army under his command is completely regarded by him as a chess piece.

In the rain of arrows, the defeated soldiers of the rear army fell in a pool of blood in shock, and the Hun cavalry driven behind was also directly shot into hedgehogs, the Huns' offensive stopped slightly, and the Bedouin chief Maher, who had already been revengeful and wanted to save face, had already led the most elite desert warriors in the Arab mercenary guards, roaring and hedged.

They want to prove that they are the most powerful light cavalry in the world!

The same cavalry to cavalry, scimitar to scimitar, five thousand Bedouin knights pierced into the right flank of the huge Hun cavalry group like sharp knives.

After all, the Huns were excellent in mobility, first-class in jungle warfare, real knife to knife, and not as brave as the Bedouins born and bred under these extremely cruel conditions, and in less than two quarters of an hour, the more than 20,000 Huns who attacked were defeated and retreated.

Seeing that Li Rang's army was in a tight formation, and there were Bedouin light cavalry waving back and forth around the Fujian army like a huge knife, and after circling a few circles in Li Rang's rear camp, which had been ravaged, countless Hun cavalry rushed south again.

The battle just now made many of Li Rang's subordinates almost scared, and even Li Rang's aide Al Maigai, who was born in the Arabs, was sincerely relieved, but the former Kufa Sultan was assigned to Li Rang's command as the minister of the river after surrendering, but Qi Yad, the last of the four Arab heroes, suddenly slapped his thigh in a panic.

"Not good! The goal of the Huns is His Majesty's siege army! They are going to bypass the Golden Horn and storm the main forces of our army! ”

As soon as he heard this, Li Rang almost fell off his horse and shook his body, he was already angry and shouted: "Where is General Guo Zhifeng?" Gather all the cavalry and follow the king to rescue the camp! ”

However, before Li Rang could finish roaring, Yao Chong suddenly grabbed his sleeve and exclaimed, "The lord can't!"

"The camp is over, it's all over! Thou shalt stop Lone from saving my father, what is Thou shalt intend? ”

At this time, Li Rang was also furious, and the whip was drawn without thinking about it, and Yao Chong, who was whipping, had to protect his head with both hands, while shouting: "Has Your Highness forgotten the holy decree given to you by the King of Min?"

These words made Li Rang stunned, and Yao Chong, who finally got out of the leather whip, pulled his sleeve and shouted: "Your Majesty is so profound, you must have been prepared for the Huns to attack!" It's a great time to cross the sea and attack Constantinople! King Min tests your courage! ”

It's really a matter of courage, on the one hand, the overall situation, on the other hand, the rescue camp, the rescue of the King of Fujian, not to mention the relationship between father and son, just from a political point of view, if the Lord does not save him, to grab the merit, in the future, Li Jie will also leave a very bad impression in his heart, and the political future will be over.

But as Yao Chong said, this is the test of the King of Fujian, he went back to save the camp, but it left Li Jie with the impression that he was ineffective, and the political future still has to be played! In a dilemma, for a while, Li Rang's head was like a steamer, and the sweat and heat were steaming out a cloud of mist.

…………

At this time, under the walls of Theodosius, the siege had entered a new Gao Yu Dynasty.

The entire city wall is shouting and killing, this time even the usual wave attacks are gone, 150,000 people continue to pour onto the city wall, the first city wall has been completely missed, and even the sniping of the arrow tower lanes that the Roman defenders have tried and tested on weekdays has lost its effect at this time.

In the staircase of the arrow tower, which had been blackened by the fire, the diminutive Japanese warrior wore a strange cloak and resisted the Greek fire sprayed by the Romans.

Li Ji relied on strategy to use soldiers, Li Jie relied on science and technology to fight wars, but at this time it was completely revealed, this special cloak is made of asbestos, also known as the Western Regions fire cloth, mineral fibers are born with fireproof functions, so many people were burned to death by the Greek fire of the Romans, Li Jie deliberately spent a lot of money to transfer from the north, and today the Roman defenders were caught off guard.

The second layer of the city wall also began to fall into the melee, the short and fierce Japanese rushed to the forefront, the eyes of the Arab warriors with jihad ** were full of bloodthirst, the only Caucasian countries of the same clan, the mercenaries of Armenia also lost their friendship with the faith at this time, and the mace mace sent by the Fujian army still smashed on the heads of Christians.

The shouts of the defenders at the head of the city could be heard clearly for a mile or two, and seeing that his battle line was precarious, Archbishop Baldwin's eyes were red with anxiety, and he kept urging anxiously: "Augustus, send reserves for reinforcements!" If you don't go up, it's all over! ”

But Constantine IV, who was standing on the second floor of the cathedral and looked through a telescope with his eyelids jumping, was like a miser, unmoved, and after looking at it for a while, he turned his head sharply and ordered Baldwin: "Archbishop, take your priest to the city to boost morale, and you must not let the Min army break through the city wall!"

"Me?"

Baldwin's toad-like eyes barely popped out, and after receiving an affirmative and impatient nod from Constantine IV, the strong contender for the Patriarch of Constantinople went downstairs almost gloomily, and almost in the same impatient tone called out to the other priests to go up to the wall to boost morale.

Anyway, he didn't dare to go, what if the knife didn't stab himself well? How can you see God like this before you become the Patriarch?

The second floor was gone, Baldwin hid in a secret room in the church and did not come out, and the provincial Constantine wanted to send him to the front again.

Dozens of priests did not change the decline of the Roman army, there were too many Min troops! The tide continued to emerge, a wave of death, and then a wave, and the defenders of about 10,000 were completely out of breath, seeing the corpses that fell from the city like dumplings, the defenders' positions were about to fall, and there were even times when the defenders turned around and fled in despair.

The earth shook violently!

"Cavalry !!"

The Min army, which was still waiting to go up to the city under the city, suddenly turned around, shouting in horror and despair, on the horizon, a huge cavalry group with black pressure continued to rush towards him, like an uncontrollable sea tide, unable to see the edge at a glance.

"Array! Rejection !! The officers of Da Min almost had their throats torn, and in his hissing roar, the Min troops in the rear were also hurriedly carrying their spears and turned around, and after running dozens of steps, they quickly squatted down to form a weak gun formation.

But this gun array is too weak! All the way from the Golden Horn rushed over, the Hun cavalry that did not stop at all directly pressed over, some spearmen were trampled to death by the war horses, and some simply shook their hearts, dropped their weapons and turned around and ran, but how did the two legs run over four legs, and they were hacked to death from behind by the hideous Huns without running a few steps.

The galloping more than 100,000 Huns slaughtered into the back of the unsuspecting siege army in one fell swoop, it was a disaster!

Listen to the wind outside the city! Constantine IV, who had been nervous, finally laughed heartily and roared loudly.

"Order, send troops!!"

The three western gates of Constantinople, which had been confined, were opened at the same time, and they were not used by Constantine for many days, and the Roman defenders who had been the backhand, as well as the 30,000 fresh troops of the barbarian Varangian guards, also rushed out of the city like a torrent.

Under the attack of the two forces, the 150,000 Fujian army was immediately torn apart and fled south in embarrassment.
