Chapter 1314. Have the last laugh

It's really a mountain of defeat!

The 150,000 men were driven like sheep by the Hun cavalry from the north, and the Roman heavy infantry pouring out of the city from the south, constantly pushing away like the sea, and there was no room for resistance.

"No !!"

The well fence that lost its protection was tied up by dozens of horse ropes, and in the desperate roar of the Fujian crossbowmen above, dozens of Hun cavalry war horses creaked and toppled over, like a fallen giant slammed on the ground, splashing dust, on the city wall, the Min army that lost its courage but was surrounded also had to jump off the city wall frantically, the city wall more than eight meters high, most of them could not escape death.

In the era of cold weapons, most of the deaths occurred in the pursuit battle, just like now, the Fujian army that fell behind was constantly cut by the Huns' cavalry, killed by bows and arrows, javelins penetrated, fled more than 100 meters, and the accumulated corpses even blocked the road.

Seeing that the Min army was about to be defeated here.

But at this time, standing on the well fence commanded by the back, Li Jie was laughing wildly.

Sun Tzu's Art of War: Don't attack with sharp pawns, don't eat bait! But who would have thought that someone would use an army of 150,000 as bait?

Now is the time!

Taking over the sky-pounding thunder from the hand of the eldest grandson weaving who was watching the battle together, Li Jie raised it with one hand, and Anna lit the fuse with a fire fold that had been prepared for a long time.

In the next second, the entire city wall was really shocked!

Boom ~ Boom ~ Burst out one after another violently, each blow made the city wall pop out of countless fragments, the Huns' army came from the north, the nearest way to chase and kill the Min army was under the city wall, and the Roman army that rushed out of the city was also chasing and killing against the city wall, this time, the two armies were completely in the shroud of the explosion range!

The nearest Huns were directly torn to pieces by the blast, and the ones that were a little farther away were blown out like dandelions, and there were a lot of Huns, the Roman legions appeared uninjured on the surface, but the blood still flowed from the corners of the eyes, nostrils, mouths and ears, and they were shocked to death!

A large section of the city wall of Constantinople collapsed directly, twenty-three explosions, and the smoke and dust that spewed out directly covered the entire Hunnian-Roman coalition army, I don't know how many people died in this divine punishment explosion, and the violent explosion even made the fleeing Fujian army stunned, and stopped in place like a chicken, looking stupidly.

The other side rushed to the city wall like a cloud of dust and mushrooms, and rushed up along the higher city wall, and the remnants of the Roman defenders, who had already experienced a morning of hard fighting, lying on the head of the city to survive, countless people were thrown down from the city wall like a rolling gourd, and fell to death in the city, and there were fallen corpses everywhere, wailing.

Constantine IV was walking halfway up the stairs of the city wall, which saved him from the bad luck of being blown away, and the huge amount of dust that fell still covered up the majesty of the Roman emperor, and the honor guard that followed him was also choked, and in the violent coughing, Constantine endured the discomfort and rushed to the city wall desperately.

The scene in front of him made him completely stunned, the first Theodosius city wall completely disappeared, and there were countless dust floating in the sky, through the dust you could see countless Roman soldiers, Hun cavalry lying on the ground with corpses, and still maintaining a charging posture, no less than tens of thousands, people farther away were also frightened, some people knelt directly on the ground and prayed to various gods, completely forgetting that this was a battlefield!

"How is this possible?"

Constantine couldn't even believe his eyes.

Because the last time Li Ji blew up the city wall of Constantinople, the well-behaved Romans also dug tunnels under the city walls and buried earpieces.

Last time Li Ji collapsed the city wall, more than 20,000 catties of black powder could be used, even if the Fujian army dug many holes in the city wall, but the maximum diameter of these holes is only one meter, and it is already the limit to be able to hold more than two or three thousand catties of gunpowder, and the power of this black powder can not shake the city wall of Constantinople, not to mention that the Roman defenders are not blind, and they rushed up with so much gunpowder on their backs, and they have long been detonated by Greek fire as human firecrackers.

Moreover, the power of this explosion has already exceeded two or three times that of Li Ji's explosion!

How can it be?

Nothing is impossible! Li Ji relied on strategy to fight, and Li Jie relied on science and technology to fight, this time, he upgraded black powder to yellow powder!

The Nobel Prize of later generations is famous all over the world, and outstanding figures in various industries have been honored with the Nobel Prize, especially the Nobel Peace ~ Prize, but few people mention that the source of the huge prize money of the Nobel Prize is related to the murder of the guy.

Nobel's greatest achievement was the invention of safety explosives, which replaced the position of black powder!

In fact, this thing is not as difficult as imagined, lard and strong alkali saponification reaction, coagulation out of the already popular soap soap, and the remaining by-product is glycerin, this thing is a sweetener, make perfume, are good things, but after nitrification reaction with nitric acid, it has become a dangerous chemical, nitrification _ glycerin.

This thing can cure angina, and the explosion power is extraordinary, it is very close to the yellow gunpowder used by Li Jie, but the disadvantage is also that in the power of this explosion, this light yellow liquid is quite unstable, and violent shaking can cause an explosion, and it is estimated that it has not been transported to the battlefield and has been blown up, so at this time Nobel's invention was used by Li Jie.

Mixing this unreliable liquid with diatomaceous earth to form this yellow gunpowder, compared to glycerin, the gunpowder properties at this time become super stable, no matter how you toss it, it will not explode easily, and it still retains the power of the explosion.

Another question arises again, how to detonate it?

When the Beijing stone was completed, Li Feisheng had actually made the yellow gunpowder, but the detonation became a problem, the ultra-stable yellow gunpowder was not easy to explode directly with the fire for half a day, this thing is too stable, too safe, safe and a handful of loess is not much different, in history Nobel used picric acid to make detonating charge, but it was a chemical product of the industrial age, Li Jie did not study chemistry, where could he get it, so the yellow powder could not be turned into loess, and was thrown aside.

The problem is stuck in this card for more than ten years, and in this process, only Li Feisheng has been stuffed in the secret arsenal outside the capital city like crazy, to study the problem of how to detonate, it is also a coincidence, half a year ago Li Feisheng didn't know how to come up with the alchemy formula, refining contact with yellow gunpowder will immediately cause a violent explosion, just get it, he took the yellow gunpowder to the front line day and night with great excitement.

The power of the explosion of 21 tons of yellow gunpowder is equivalent to the explosion in Tianjin, and Li Jie's 32 dead soldiers each carried 70 catties, more than 2 tons, which is far more than 10 times more than the black gunpowder burst and detonated together.

When the entire battlefield was still shocked by this spectacular scene, the soil in the center of the battlefield suddenly cracked, and one by one, wearing tower-like armor and holding more than two meters long Mo knife, the fierce Mo knife hand ants crawled out of the ground as densely as possible, and quickly marched into a military formation.

After the tunnel dug by the Romans was discovered by the Great Min, it became the hiding hole of the Min army, and as early as the night before, the Mo swordsmen of the Min army had been ambushed here.

The explosion is the signal! After a violent tremor, Fang Yiai was the first to crawl out of the ground, brandishing the fierce super like the Hun cavalry closest to him and slashing at it, and at the same time roared loudly.

"No mercy!"

Before the words fell, the human head had already flown out a long way under the sharp blade of the Mo knife.

Last time, the Huns did not have mercy on the defeated soldiers of the Min people, and they did not know how many Min troops still died under the butcher's knife of the Huns when they surrendered, so this time Li Jie ordered that there was no need to pity them, not to mention that the existence of these nomadic Huns would always be a trouble in the Balkans, killing one less and one less, and after drilling out, they were also shocked by this drastic change for a moment, and more than 7,000 Mo swordsmen immediately rushed into the Hun cavalry formation with great pride.

Seven thousand strong men killed the remnants of tens of thousands of soulless Huns at one time, and the Romans were all rolling on their heads, bleeding like rivers, and they were all broken with a knife!

Listening to the screams of the Roman army and the Huns, the 150,000 defeated army of Damin who was also shocked also woke up at this time, howling like a beast, with blood-red eyes full of hatred, this army composed of various ethnic groups also came back with great hatred.

Bang a few war cannons, in the camp of the Fujian army, the anxious Min King Tielin, Guanning Tiecai, as well as the left and right military guards, leading the army guards and other elite troops of the Great Min army came out like a tide.

Behind him, leading 20,000 Arabs to mercenary cavalry, Guo Zhifeng also happened to appear behind the fleeing Hun tribe at this time.

Surrounded on all sides, there is death and no life, the peerless gamble of the King of Min won, all the main forces of the Roman Empire were surrounded and annihilated under the city, and in the shouting battle horn of the sky, an unprecedented slaughter feast was fiercely unfolded under the city of Constantinople, surrounded by the most loyal, one by one Roman warriors, the Hun cavalry let out an extremely desperate roar.

At this time, Li Jie, Anna, Changsun Zhi, and Yang Xinyi arrived at the battlefield in person with a thousand horses of the Qinrui Praetorian Guard.

Carrying the King of Min with his own hands, the tip of the gun pointed directly at Constantinople, while galloping on horseback, the excited Li Jie roared loudly.

"The first to enter Constantinople will be crowned king!"

What the sword points to, the servant is like a cloud!
