Chapter 1309. Crowned king

On a new day, when the sunlight from the direction of his hometown was once again delivered to the Fujian army under the obstruction of the city wall of Constantinople, the rolling iron forest once again poured out from the gates of the wall, densely filling the battlefield under the city of Constantinople.

After storming the city for three days in a row, the Min army had already paid the price of 7,000 dead and 20,000 wounded, but at this time, the morale of the Min army was not reduced, but even more surging.

Today, the king of Min issued an order again, the first to attack the inner city of Constantinople, whether it is a Manchu civil and military or an ordinary soldier, crowned king!

O king!!

That is really the status of one person under ten thousand people, the king is simply heaven for the people of the feudal era, and it is no longer a wealth that can be measured by wealth.

Even more than a dozen Wenchen were wearing red cloth strips on their heads, wearing helmets and armor to attack the city, which shows that this promise has inspired the Fujian army, and this kind of glory is enough to fight with their lives! Once spelled out, it will be the same wealth and glory as the empire!

The war drums rumbled, the battle trumpets were arrayed, and under this stimulus, the Fujian army completed the formation earlier than yesterday, and more than a dozen backbone troops of the Fujian army, such as the left and right armed guards, the loyal and brave eight guards, all sent troops into battle, and the whole army was simply imposing.

However, the battle stood on the well fence set up in the rear for the purpose of watching the battle command, Li Jie was not much excited, and he was going to run out of time! Constantinople must be conquered in a few days, or it may fail again!

In a gloomy mood and a serious face, waiting for all the generals to waive their flags and show that they were ready for the central government, Li Jie once again swung his war knife forward fiercely.

"Da Min, attack!"

Once again, 10,000 cannons fired in unison, and the artillery units surrounding the front of the Fujian army aimed at the towers that the Romans had broken, and stabbed the red-hot steel brazing into the tail of the cannon, and with the regret of not being able to participate in this gambling of the king, the heavy artillery spewed out incomparable anger, hitting the city wall, and once again violently trembling.

With a bang, a Roman stone arrow tower was actually broken by the waist, and the Roman defenders on it fell into the moat with a multi-ton boulder in a terrified shout.

Under the cover of this surging artillery fire, the Min army once again pushed the heavy rushing cart, and the well fence moved closer to the city wall.

At this time, the counterattack on the head of the city has been much weaker, although the Min army did not conquer the city wall within three days, but under the double blow of artillery fire and hand-to-hand combat, the artillery and trebuchets carefully prepared by Constantine at the head of the city have been damaged by the blow, and even the towering arrow tower has been damaged for most of it, and only a few cannon stones have been hit down from the head of the city.

With a loud bang, a round stone projectile the size of a human head bombarded into the Fujian army's shield array following the siege equipment, even the iron-clad tiger-headed round shield could not withstand this huge force, and was beaten and torn apart, and the first three or four Fujian troops behind the shield spit blood together and were sent flying.

Within 100 meters, the artillery fire of the Fujian army has stopped, and the Roman defenders who have already figured out the law have run out of the corners where they are hiding, and the overwhelming rain of arrows is flying down like locusts, and the Fujian army has been hit by arrows, and they have fallen to the ground one after another.

Approaching 50 meters under the city, the captains of each unit gave an order, and each brigade had three people rushing out of the array for more than 20 steps, two people holding shields to cover, one holding a tiger squatting cannon, 70 degrees of elevation, quickly ignited under the rain of arrows, and immediately retreated.

Seeing the appearance of cannon battles and the smoking iron pipes behind their buttocks, the Roman defenders who were still shooting arrows at the head of the city suddenly lost their souls, and some of their bows were also thrown away, and they turned around and ran to the towers behind them and the caves under the city walls.

But before they could run far, they were thrown high, and the small projectile the size of a walnut with green smoke had already fallen down in a perfect parabola, and the exploding projectile immediately burst out of countless metal fragments, some of which were directly hit by this dense projectile into the head, and the body fell to the ground, and they all had to be hit by the metal fragments, and their faces were covered with blood, covering their heads and wailing in pain.

The Romans are afraid of this kind of tiger squat cannon whose lethality is far lower than that of the general's cannon has reached the limit, after all, it was immediately dead by the general's cannon, and it was blown up by this thing, not to mention losing its combat effectiveness, and it had to suffer alive.

Boom a few times, pushed to the city under the brand-new ladder of the second section of the ladder of the ladder smashed on the head of Constantinople again, the sharp hook on the top of the city wall nailed, behind, has been excited for a long time The Min army immediately poured up from below like a tide, and the ladder simply gave the siege of the Fujian army a fast passage.

However, the Min army that had just rushed to the city did not wait for excitement, the overwhelming bows and arrows, and the ballistae hit head-on, and on the second layer of the Roman city wall, a group of archers had already been eyeing each other, and the ballistae that had figured out the law were also calibrated with the advance of the ladder, and almost none of the more than 100 people who rushed up first were spared, all of them fell from the ladder with a scream, and turned into one of the thousands of dry bones.

The Min army behind was frightened for a moment, and then transported the tiger squat cannon over, and then the cover of the slope was violently released against the city, and after a dozen cannons, after the blow of solid cannonballs, the Roman archers were also in a mess and were dispersed.

Then, in this gap, the warriors of the Min army rushed to the top of the city with shouts, and pounced on the Slavic mercenaries who were lined up to defend them, and the hand-to-hand combat that was mixed together began violently again.

The roar of this fight can be heard for more than ten miles, seeing the comrades fighting bloodily in the city, and the Min army under the city is also surging with blood, hoping that their comrades will take down this damn city in one fell swoop, but they also don't want them to succeed and leave the opportunity to be crowned king to themselves!

The battle is in the second row of the phalanx, Fang Yiai's mood is like this, both excited and nervous, the big throne is urging him behind his back all the time, not only to make contributions, but also to prove that he is the inheritor of his father Liang Gongfang Xuanling, the most promising heir of the Qinghe Fang family, and it is also for her!

With this throne, maybe she will be satisfied!

Thinking of Princess Gaoyang's appearance when she was happy, the heavy and cold Mo knife shaft in her hand was gurgling, and Fang Yiai's deep eyes stared at Constantinople, revealing that strong self-confidence in the comparison.

But at this time, a herald with three red neck flags on his back found Fang Yiai's phalanx from behind, and when they met, without waiting for greetings, the herald had anxiously raised the Min King Tiger Talisman, and ordered in a low and hurried voice.

"Pass on Your Majesty's order, the Modao team will strip off the siege army and assemble in Xicheng, there must be no mistake!"

Fang Yiai couldn't believe his ears, Li Jie's order was equivalent to depriving him of the opportunity to be crowned king, but the order of the King of Min was clearly in front of him, and there was no doubt, he was stunned for more than half a minute, Fang Yiai was extremely unwilling to roar at the tiger at the head of the city, and the leader led his subordinates to strip away from the siege phalanx in anger.

On the city wall, the first round of siege phalanxes has suffered heavy casualties, and those who are overwhelmed have retreated from the city, and the second round of thirty siege phalanxes once again held shields, shouting and trotting towards the city, and then Li Jie's attention was no longer on the city wall of such a fierce melee, and all his energy was on the more than 20 rushing cars that were also pushed to the city.

Different from the previous ramming hammers, this time the Fujian army's rushing car completely removed the punch hammer used to destroy the city wall or the city gate hanging, and replaced it with heavier armor and strong and heavy sharp chisels, hammers and other tools, and then the cover of the rushing car, as soon as a group of ten sappers arrived at the city, they used tools to desperately knock on the city wall, smashed the gaps, and then used a crowbar to pry the city bricks down.

The sappers who rushed up were the best sappers of the Fujian army, but the city walls of the Romans were too hard, and for three consecutive days, they only dug out a hole less than half a meter in front of them, and the size could not hold enough gunpowder to blow up the city wall.

Seeing that the rushing car was constantly advancing, Li Jie was also anxious, and couldn't help but roar in a low voice! Hurry up!

But at this moment, at the head of the city, another jar of Greek fire was slammed on the head of the rushing car, and then a torch was thrown down, and the Fujian army engineers at the back did not pay attention, and immediately got stained with the magic fire and were burned into fire people, seeing dozens of fire people rolling in pain under the city, Li Jie's heart suddenly rose again.

"Hurry up!!"
