Habula instructed his subordinates to remove all the goods blocked in the bottom cargo hold, and reopen the nailed hatch so that the elite of the 3,000 Jin army hidden in the bottom cargo hold could immediately take action to capture Constantinople. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

When the door of the ground floor warehouse was opened, the soldiers of the Jin army, who had been holding back for a day and a night, could finally breathe a breath of fresh air.

Habula and his subordinates, the location of the general's port and the situation in the military port, made a report to the Jin army generals, and after listening to Habula's report, the Jin army generals had a plan in their hearts, and immediately discussed how to quickly capture Constantinople, and find a strong position to block the counterattack of the Roman army, waiting for reinforcements from the main army.

After some deliberation, the generals of the Jin army decided to control the military port first, and after eliminating the Roman soldiers in the military port, send a thousand men and horses, put on the armor of Roman soldiers, and quickly run to the direction of the city gate under the cover of night, in order to open the city gate, if it is discovered by Roman soldiers, then immediately attack the city, and there should not be many Roman soldiers defending the city wall at night, so, even if it is stormed, there is a great chance of victory, after breaking through the city gate, this thousand Jin army will be stationed near the city gate tower to resist the counterattack of the main Roman army, in addition, The 2,000 Jin soldiers in the port immediately killed the remaining military ports and eliminated the defenders of the remaining military ports as quickly as possible, so as to prevent these naval forces from blocking the main Jin army to reinforce Constantinople.

Because all the Roman soldiers in the military port were drunk, for this reason, the Jin army's actions were unusually smooth, and it was very easy to solve the 1,000 Roman sailors in the military port, and immediately divided the troops into three ways and ran in different directions.

Since the Romans and the Jin army had long agreed never to invade each other, for this reason, they did not expect that the Jin army would suddenly come to the city, so they were not prepared for defense.

Soon, under the attack of the Jin army, the soldiers in several Roman military ports suffered heavy losses, and the 5,000 naval army was almost completely wiped out, so that it could no longer pose a threat to the Jin army reinforcements.

After destroying the Roman navy, the 2,000 Jin soldiers immediately rushed to the direction of the city gate to join the 1,000 Jin soldiers who had broken through the city gate, so as to fight against the main Roman force in the city.

Just when the elite soldiers and horses of the Jin army were fighting with the Roman soldiers, the Persian merchant Saladi left the military port with his assistant Habula and others and sailed to the other side of the strait.

The Roman general Severus, who was in charge of defending Constantinople, broke out in a cold sweat after hearing that the Jin army had raided the city, and he never expected that the Jin army would rebel and surrender to Constantinople.

"General, our ports have all fallen, and in addition, the south gate has also been captured by the Jin army." A personal soldier immediately reported the situation to Severus.

Severus frowned and asked loudly, "How did the Jin army come over, how could they suddenly appear, did they fly over?" ”

Obviously, what Severus was very surprised about was why the Jin army was able to suddenly appear near Constantinople, after all, the navy under his command was cruising day and night, and it was impossible not to detect the Jin army's fleet.

"General, the current situation is still unclear, and we can't figure out how the Jin army arrived in Constantinople." The pro-soldier said helplessly.

"Rubb, it's all a bunch of rubbish, you're really mad at me." Severus roared angrily.

"General, the number of Jin troops is unknown, but the main force of our army has been quickly assembled and launched a counteroffensive in the direction of the south gate, and at present, the two sides are still fighting fiercely." A pro-soldier said.

Severus nodded and said loudly: "The soldiers will gather immediately, and I will kill the south gate." ”

The soldiers immediately took the order and followed Severus in the direction of the south gate.

Soon, Severus arrived near the south gate and met the lieutenant who was directing the battle, and the city gate tower was in full view.

"General, the situation is not good! When we just launched a counterattack, the Jin army only had more than 1,000 people, but now the Jin army has enough soldiers and horses for 3,000 people, which is equivalent to sixty percent of our army, and the Jin army is an elite division, and its combat power is not weaker than our army, and the city is afraid that it will not be able to be saved. The adjutant general said helplessly.

"General, the key question is whether the Jin army has more troops, we don't know at all, but we must have no reinforcements." Said another Roman general.

Severus frowned worriedly, looked at several generals, and said: "No matter what, we have to work hard to recapture the South Gate, if we lose Constantinople easily, we have no way to explain to His Majesty the Emperor." ”

"Yes, General, we will attack with all our might." The adjutant general responded, and immediately commanded the soldiers and horses, and launched a more fierce attack on the Jin army.

The soldiers and horses of the Jin army are all elite in the army, but they are all infantry, and the Roman soldiers are also infantry, and they are lined up in a tortoiseshell formation to advance, for this reason, the Jin army did not easily defeat the strength of the Roman infantry, and can only rely on the terrain near the city gate, and the Roman army to the death, and wait for reinforcements from the rear.

At the moment when the soldiers and horses of the Jin army and the Roman army were fighting fiercely, Song Cheng, a general under the command of Hua'an, had already led an army of 20,000 and sailed to Constantinople by transport ship.

Halfway through, Song Cheng's army met Saladi and his party who were retreating south, and briefly inquired about the situation on the other side, after learning that everything was going well, Song Cheng was very happy, and ordered his subordinates to speed up rowing to quickly reach the port of Constantinople and reinforce the elite of the 3,000 Jin army in front.

The strait was not very wide, and the south wind was blowing at this time, so the transport ships of Song Cheng's army soon arrived at the port of Constantinople and officially landed in the port to reinforce the elite of the Jin army in front.

The 3,000 elites of the Jin army did not fall into disadvantage in the first place, and at this time, the 20,000 soldiers and horses of Song Cheng's army suddenly came up with reinforcements, which immediately collapsed the 5,000 Roman army under Severus, and they immediately retreated.

The Jin army of more than 20,000 soldiers and horses, under the leadership of the general Song Cheng, immediately occupied Constantinople and captured at least 5,000 Roman soldiers.

Severus and his 3,000 soldiers and horses escaped from Constantinople and quickly ran towards the city of Milan, but Song Cheng did not send troops and horses to pursue the Severus legion in order to stabilize the captured Constantinople, and let the Severus legion leave.

On the south shore of the strait, Hua An and his main army were still waiting, after all, the number of merchant ships and transport ships that Saladi could mobilize was very limited, so it was impossible to transport all the Jin troops and horses to Constantinople at one time.

"Your Majesty, look, Saladi is back, it seems that the situation should be going well." Wang San looked at Saladi and his party who were driving and said happily.

At this time, the sky was just getting dark, and Saladi's merchant ship was very obvious on the sea, and it could be seen at a glance.

Hua An nodded, and said: "The situation must be going very well, if everything goes wrong, Saladi will not return so soon, and besides, they must have met Song Cheng's army halfway, and Song Cheng's army did not return, which is enough to show that Saladi completed the task excellently." ”

Soon, Saladi's fleet docked, Hua An and several generals greeted him, and asked about the progress of the matter, when listening to Saladi's report, everyone was extremely excited, after all, everyone did not expect that things would go so smoothly, and the Roman naval generals were so careless.

In addition to being happy, Hua An greatly praised Saladi and his party, and asked them to immediately unload all the goods on the merchant ship, so that the soldiers of the Jin army could board the cargo ship and sail to Constantinople.

When Saladi returned to the south bank, in addition to bringing back his own cargo ships, he also brought back many Roman warships anchored in the military port, so this time, another 20,000 Jin soldiers could be transported to the other side.

Due to the extremely important geographical location of Constantinople, Hua'an planned to locate the Roman Governorate as an important Governorate of Anxi, and deployed 80,000 troops to garrison Constantinople, including 60,000 auxiliary troops.

Hua'an believed that as long as the 80,000-strong army firmly controlled Constantinople, the entire West would be under the control of the Great Jin, and no one would be able to shake the position of the Great Jin as the world's first power.

At noon, Hua An and his 90,000 soldiers and horses arrived in Constantinople, and immediately took control of all important positions in Constantinople to prevent the Romans in the city from rebelling.

Hua An and his core generals immediately went to the palace of the Roman Empire and had a good visit.

"Your Majesty, the Roman palace is very different from the palace of my Great Jin, but it is also magnificent enough." Wang San opened his mouth and said.

Hua An smiled: "Yes! This is the Western Roman style, which is very different from the Dajin architecture in our East! ”

"Your Majesty, these Roman buildings look very tall, but the scale is much worse than our Great Jin, and the last general thinks that our Great Jin buildings are more magnificent." Song Cheng opened his mouth and said.

Hua An smiled and said: "That's natural, my Great Jin is the most powerful country in the world, and Rome is just a powerful country in the West, how can it be compared to my Great Jin?" He laughed.

When the generals of the Jin Army heard this, they all laughed and complimented each other.

"Your Majesty, now that Constantinople has been breached by our army, can we form a Roman governorate?" Wang San asked.

Hua An nodded and said: "That's right, we should indeed set up the Roman Governor's Palace, Constantinople is the seat of the Roman Governor's Palace, and the imperial palace here is the office of the Roman Governor." ”

"Your Majesty, that's a great thing, in the future, the Roman Governor will be able to live in the palace." Wang San said happily.

Hua An nodded and said: "Yes, you can live in the palace, but Constantinople is far away from the hinterland of the Great Jin, who wants to leave their homeland and live in this palace for a long time?" The Roman Governor had to be changed every three years. ”

Of course, Hua'an considered not only the feelings of homesickness of the soldiers, but also the situation that the border generals could not lose their tails, so it was necessary to let the leading generals rotate once after a period of time, so that the border generals could not form a climate of rebellion against the imperial court.

Subsequently, after some consideration, Hua'an appointed a brave subordinate as the Grand Governor of Rome, and asked him to bring an army of 80,000 troops to garrison Constantinople and take charge of controlling the surrounding areas, while also shouldering the task of prospering commerce and expanding education, so that Rome could truly become a part of the Great Jin Dynasty in the near future.

After arranging the Roman Governor's Palace, Hua'an and several generals left Constantinople with 10,000 personal guards and prepared to return to Luoyang, the capital of the Jin Kingdom, thousands of miles away.

Before leaving, Hua'an warned the Grand Governor of Rome that he must be cautious in guarding Constantinople, and take advantage of the contradictions between the Romans and the Germanic peoples to provoke them to attack each other, so as not to pose a threat to the Roman Governorate of the Great Jin.

The Roman general Severus retreated as quickly as possible in the direction of the city of Milan, and sent his own troops to set off in advance to inform Emperor Julian of the news that Constantinople had been breached by the Jin army as soon as possible.

At this time, the Roman Emperor Julian had already defeated the invading Germanic tribes with his thunderous means and inflicted heavy losses on the Germanic tribes, but the losses of the Roman army were not small, and the Gallic army and the British army were almost completely annihilated.

Julian finally defeated the invading Germanic tribes under the premise of paying a huge price, but he would never have thought that when he was about to celebrate, the news that Constantinople was broken by the Jin army came, which made Julian and his generals all extremely frightened, after all, Constantinople was the capital of the Roman Empire, and now, it was actually captured by the Jin army, which was a great shame for the Roman Empire, the most critical problem is that the Jin army has many soldiers and horses, and the Roman army has experienced a bloody battle with the Germans. The total number of troops is only more than 100,000, compared with the Jin army, there is not much advantage at all, the most critical problem is that although the Germanic departments have been heavily damaged, they still have tens of thousands of forces, so that they can form a containment of the Roman army, so that Julian does not dare to mobilize the main army to recapture Constantinople.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, I really didn't expect that the Jin army would actually tear up the agreement and suddenly break through Constantinople." Marcellus said lonely.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, the Jin army has a large number of soldiers and horses, and our army is now seriously understrengthened, so it can only defend the west, block the Germanic tribes from moving south, and it is impossible to recapture Constantinople." Orleans said helplessly.

Julian naturally understood this truth, but the Jin army tore up the agreement and suddenly attacked Constantinople, which made him feel very angry, and he had a feeling that he had been tricked, and he suddenly felt that it was not the Germanic departments that contacted the Jin army at all, but the Jin army that contacted the Germanic departments.

"The Jin army is really cunning, and it actually took advantage of the weakness to break through Constantinople, which is hateful." Julian gritted his teeth and snorted.

However, he could only hum on his lips, after all, the strength of the Jin army was there, and he Julian was completely incapable of retaking Constantinople. (To be continued.) )
