Chapter Five Hundred and Twenty-Three Potential and Rome Live and Die Together(1/2)

Constantine was in the Laurel Palace, and he couldn't murmur: "Boat on land?"

The words of wood, noose, slide rail, oil, dragging farmer flashed through Constantine's mind.

These are combined, which is why Farah can do it.

The biggest crisis since the establishment of the Junbao has arrived. The Golden Horn Bay, which is blocked by the ship, has opened its doors for the first time.

The never-fallen castle is finally about to fall.

Giusti was extremely shocked, and he ran quickly to the north wall, and the Ottoman crescent flag floated on the sea.

The fragile northern city wall was attacked by enemies like a tide.

He had already fully understood that the cunning king Farah had not planned any peace talks from beginning to end! The ships sailing on dry land, from the Cut Throat Fort, had obviously had premeditated it!

Fatih was determined to break through the castle and then start his own expansion path without any resistance.

Giusti had no time to think about how strong Fatih's determination was. He drew his long sword and joined the battlefield.

"For honor!" Giusti was drowned in the crowd.

Even in the face of such an offensive, his advantage as the defender was still huge, and Giusti struggled to repel the attack on the north side.

Facing himself, who was several times more than his enemy, Giusti once again won the raid with his ability.

Giusti collapsed on the battlements of the city walls. He was observing the legion outside the city, the most elite army of the Ottomans, which had not yet appeared.

Jeniceri Guards.

It is an army that can determine the direction of the battlefield.

The Ottomans prepared eighty-six artillery pieces, including a super heavy artillery half a man's thickness and Urban cannon.

Urban, a Hungarian, was a gun-casting archer. Because of the dark clouds of war in the Balkans, Urban fled to Junbao.

Unfortunately, Constantine himself was poor and lived a tight life. The salary of some guards could only be paid with silver tableware in the Holy Palace.

Urban was not satisfied with the poverty of the King Castle and eventually defected to the Ottomans.

When the Urban cannons roared, the air was torn apart.

The eighty-six Ottoman artillery brought many variables to the war. The strong city walls in the past were made with nine gaps under the power of the artillery.

Giusti is a master who is good at defense. In the years he has been traveling to Tessy, he has never seen such artillery formations and artillery fire that can cause such great damage to the castle.

But Giusti still defended the enemy's continuous attack.

He is a defensive master, and he has never failed his reputation.

The blood moon rises.

Less than two thousand miles from the Junbao, Kuwa Volcano was at its most active time, and the ash that exceeded 25,000 meters high was continuously erupted into the atmosphere.

The moon turns bloody among the volcanic ash, trees stop growing, grain begins to fall short of harvest, and the weather becomes colder and colder.

Giusti looked at the moon in the sky. The crescent moon was like the Ottoman flag. Does this mean that Constantinople will usher in his end?

"Can't be able to defend it anymore." Constantine came to the walls of Theosido in purple robe. He had just visited the wounded soldiers and patrolled the city above the city for a while, especially the places where the artillery was bombarded.

Countless civilians took advantage of the blood-red moonlight and worked hard to repair the city walls smashed by artillery and trenchers.

Constantine encouraged the morale of the guards. When there were only two people at this time, Constantine showed a little fatigue and no longer felt energetic.

"My wife was killed by Fatih. I never thought of taking revenge. I just hoped to defend the last city of Rome." Constantine slapped the wall and said, "I heard that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty had stood on the top of the city six years ago, living and dying with their Ming soldiers."

Justi did know some news about the Ming Emperor guarding the capital, but it was too far away and he didn't know much.

He shook his head and said, "That's different."

Constantine nodded and said, "Yes, it's different."

"There were 220,000 militias in the Ming Dynasty, and they were mobilized to defend the city. They had 20,000 knights to train these militias. And I had nothing."

"They defeated the enemy outside the city, guarded the city, and then retaliated against their enemies with the most cruel means."

"And I can't do anything, I can't even defend this city."

The veterans of the Beijing camp of the old camp of the Ming Dynasty were the backbone forces of the Beicao Army and the Beiya Army who trained the battle of the capital. Many of them were promoted to the generals of the Guanbian, and more than 3,000 were disciples of the Emperor.

Constantine understood it as the knights, they were loyal, they were brave and fearless, they were upright, they dared to sacrifice, and their souls were so dazzling.

Unfortunately, Junbao had no cavalry, and there were no Romans who supported him as the emperor.

Under the Winter Preface, countless Romans fled the King Fort.

Rome is about to perish.

Constantine patted the battlements of the city walls and said with emotion: "And the Emperor of Ming Dynasty is too rich. The last time Nikolaoz heard that in the Ming army, every three people had a pair of armor, and a plate-armored cavalry of more than 20,000 people."

Giusti's eyes twisted, and a bright halo appeared above Hagia Sophia. If it were a weekday, he would wonder if this was a miracle.

But now, he has no time to take care of this wonder.

He was not looking at the halo at the top of the church, but looking outside the city.

"They are here." Justy pulled out the long sword that was already covered with scars.

The Ottomans took advantage of the moonlight to launch a night attack. The outside of the Diosido wall on the west side was full of enemies. The ships in Golden Horn Bay released the sampan again, and countless enemies began to charge towards the seven-story wall.

Giusti was preparing to fight, and he looked at Constantine and said, "Your Majesty, go to the Water Palace, no one can find you."

But Constantine shook her head, took off her purple robe, exposed the armor inside, pulled out her long sword and said, "I will go to guard the city with you."

"I live and die together with Rome!"

Constantine folded his purple robe and joined the defending army.

The Ottomans started attacking from nine places on the west side, and there were three battlefields on the north side.

If, if Giusti is given another three thousand men, he will be fully confident in defending the city, and he will win countless victories in succession, proving his strong military strength.

But there are really too many Ottomans.

The most elite legion of the Ottomans, the Jenicheri Legion, joined the battlefield. They captured Kyle Carmen and opened up the passages to the battlefields on the west and north sides.

There were screams everywhere, wailing everywhere, and pools of blood everywhere, and the most common ones on the battlefield were dead.

The seven-story three-story city wall blocked the crowds of people, and the dense Ottomans were like ants climbing up the top of the city.

The vibration of the bowstring and the roar of the artillery finally stopped, and the more tragic melee began.

The Jenicheri legion went south from the northwest corner, as if he was entering a nobody's land, and the gap became bigger and bigger.

Constantine was covered in blood, and he and Giusti had evacuated the walls of Theosido because there was completely lost there.

He looked at Giusti, who was seriously injured, and said with a slight smile: "Let's go, my dear friend, although the Venetian merchants should be hung, they are willing to do things after collecting money. Now there is a boat on the sea of ​​Marmara."

Several guards lifted Giusti up and carried him towards the ship.

This is Junbao's last chance to live.

Constantine never let down his friends and gave this only chance to live to Giusti, instead of escaping by boat and becoming an exiled emperor.

Giusti wanted to struggle, but several guards carried him without giving him any chance.

The rising sun rose, and the walls of Theosido were opened forty-four miles by the fearless Ottomans, nine thrusts, and the Ottomans had already rushed in.

No miracle was born, and no savior came to save Rome.

Constantine walked on the street, and deserters were flocking to the concession in Venice, trying to leave by boat.

Constantine did not stop the guards from fleeing.

Although there is a Constantine wall behind the wall of Theosido, the weak national strength of Rome in the east cannot be maintained at all.

Constantine dragged his sword and walked towards the city gate. Even if he was alone, the Ottomans would step over his body if they wanted to come in!

He said that we should live and die with Rome.

But he waited for a long time until the sun was on the top of the pole, and the Ottomans with hoods did not appear in his sight. After fighting for a night, he looked at the sun with dizziness.

what happened?

He was a little timid and mustered up the courage to die, but death did not come for a long time, which made him hesitate, but soon, he firmly held the sword again.

Because he heard the sound of horse hooves.

A cavalry is here!

He squinted as hundreds of cavalrymen came to the city gate on the dusty road.

"Ah!" Constantine dragged his sword and rushed towards the enemy. There were no guards beside him. This was a lonely charge.

The people who came were riding very well. They stopped for thirty steps and then stopped.

"I am Wang Yue, the official of Kang Guobao, you are from the Great Qin?" An oriental accent sounded.

Constantine's charge slowly stopped, and he really had no strength.

"Come on a message!" Wang Yue said with a frown: "Go and ask who he is? Let him report to the king of the Qin Kingdom, and say that the Ming Dynasty Expeditionary Force has arrived, so don't shrink in the city."

After a not-so-complex communication, both parties confirmed their identities.

Wang Yue's title made Constantine look extremely strange. In the Roman official system, the three words "Preserve the Civil Official" are actually the general term for military and civil affairs officials. Apart from Augustus and Caesar, the largest official position.
