Chapter 857(1/2)
The people of Constantinople were very excited. The palace opened its doors to serve large cakes today. Anyone who can speak Turkic language can receive two large cakes.
Of course, false claims will happen, and the large number of heads hanging on the walls of the palace are those who were caught.
Of course, there is such a thing as not being able to catch it. Sometimes people are just gambling on their lives. But this time the chips for gambling on life are just two pieces of cake.
The square in front of the palace gate was crowded with people eating big cakes, and the sound of slurping was loud. Although they choked and rolled their eyes, people still refused to drink water.
This is a solid piece of cake, and it has not been eaten like this for many days. Drink water! Drinking water is a bad habit and must not be tolerated.
Under the current conditions, it is not easy to eat big cakes. No one knows when the next full meal will be. If you drink enough water, you will really be sorry for yourself.
From early morning to mid-morning, more than two million people were doing one thing, and that was eating. In addition to eating the big cakes, the people did not forget to express their most sincere thanks to the imperial city, thanking them for their kindness at this time.
If I can get the blessing of His Majesty the Sultan, I can have a full meal.
But they soon received another news!
His Majesty the Sultan will lead them out of the city because there is no food in the city. What they just ate was all the food rations in Constantinople.
"Have you heard? His Majesty the Sultan is taking us out of the city!"
"Leaving the city? Isn't that a dead end?"
"It's just that everyone who left the city died. Didn't you see the piles of bones under the city?"
"If I don't go out, I will be dead."
"Yes! If we don't go out, we will die if we go out."
"Waiting here would mean death. If His Majesty the Sultan takes everyone out of the city in person, that means there is really no food in the city. If you want to survive, you can only eat people. But this person... Haha, there is always food.
End of the day.”
An old man with a gray beard sat on the ground, chewing a piece of flatbread slowly. Everyone was silent. The old man was right, waiting here would mean death.
Without food, we can only wait to starve to death. When the last food is eaten, it is inevitable that people can eat people. Everyone will become a cannibal and a person who is eaten.
Very cruel! But very true!
"Eat this meal well, this may be the last meal in your life. Many people will die today, and many people will survive.
Although the old man has lived to this age, he still wants to live for a few more years. However, if this is how he lives, the old man doesn’t want to endure another day, so it would be a good idea to go out of the city and have a quick death."
The old man said something again, and people became even more silent.
Yes! The life in the city is simply not a life for human beings. Perhaps the old man is right, living like this is simply worse than death, and it is better to go out and have a good fight.
It would be better to be killed by a bullet than to live like this. At least, that would be very pleasant.
Silence quickly spread, and people gathered together to whisper. After muttering for a while, the voices invariably became quieter. No one was interested in continuing to talk, even the chatty one who usually talked the most, had no interest in talking.
The sun slowly reached the top of the head, and everyone was well fed. The men looked after their women, and the women looked after their children.
People in the whole square looked at the gate of Dopkapi Palace. When the sun reached noon, the gate of Dopkapi Palace opened.
Suleiman II, who was wearing cloth clothes and boots, walked out first, followed by his concubines and children. Powerful warriors walked on both sides, kicking away those who looked with their heads stretched out from time to time.
The people in the square consciously gave way to an alley and watched the usually aloof people walking in front of them.
Many people never dreamed that one day they would be so close to His Majesty the Sultan.
Normally, there would have been many people shouting long live the Sultan. But now, people on both sides of the road stared at the first family of the Ottoman Empire.
Suleiman II appeared in front of his subjects like this for the first time in his life. Before this, most people here did not know what he looked like.
He tried to straighten his spine and walked in the corridor that people automatically gave way to. The citizens of Constantinople on both sides just stared blankly at Suleiman II walking in front of him.
There was no praise, no one scolded me, everything was so peaceful.
For the first time in his life, Suleiman II walked on the main road of Constantinople like this. Under the gaze of millions of people, he walked firmly.
The concubines behind him began to sob, and the concubine holding the child hugged the child even more tightly. Some people couldn't stand the atmosphere, and their legs weakened and they knelt on the ground.
Those warriors, who were as strong as bears, grabbed those who fell on the ground and pulled out sharp Damascus steel knives. The steel knives drew an arc in the sun, and then blood shot up two to three meters high.
The beautiful head would not look good if it fell to the ground. The disheveled hair was wrapped around the head, and only the white teeth could be seen chewing the soil on the ground.
No one paid attention to the corpses, and the team just walked like this. As long as there was anyone who fell behind, the guards were responsible for cutting off the heads.
Soon, the team was greatly reduced. There were also many corpses on the street, including not only Suleiman II's sons and daughters, but also his most beloved concubine.
The younger son of the eldest son Conte grabbed Suleiman Sultan's belt and begged his omnipotent grandfather to save him. But his omnipotent grandfather did not save him, but tried hard to get rid of him.
The child was pushed down and then taken away by the wolf-like guards. Today's executioner was extremely troubled. He never thought that one day he would chop off so many beautiful heads.
The heads became numb after being chopped too many times. They didn't know how to look at the faces of the concubines, so they pulled them over and stabbed them in the head. Some of them chopped the heads crookedly, splitting them in half. Others didn't kill them with the first blow, but they chopped them again.
The second knife, the third knife...!
Suleiman II had a numb face and walked on the street without joy or sorrow. The subjects on both sides watched their king walk out of the huge city gate of Istanbul.
His Majesty the Sultan walked in the front, and naturally there were people following behind him. After the first one, there was the second, then the third, the fourth...!
The dark crowd followed Suleiman II out of the city gate of Istanbul. They walked firmly thinking of the Ming army's position.
More and more people are following Suleiman II. They are like walking zombies, quietly following Suleiman II, like a group of zombies, following Suleiman II numbly.
.
What future will there be, what will they encounter on the road, and where should they go after the fall of Constantine. There are too many things in their minds, and in the end they can only shut down and strike. Then, people become walking zombies.
"Commander! Commander, it's not good."
Li Xiao drank some wine last night, and then chatted about life with a few Slavic beauties. Maybe it was because the chat lasted a long time, and his physical strength was a little weak, and he didn't get up yet at noon.
Li Hu ran in in a panic, turning a blind eye to several naked Slavic women. He directly pushed Li Xiao awake from his deep sleep!
"What are you doing!" Li Xiao shouted angrily. Anyone who was disturbed in his dream would get angry. What's more, Li Xiao didn't have any cloth on his body at this time.
Although they are brothers, Li Xiao is still not used to seeing each other sincerely.
"Come out! Come out!" Li Hu shouted anxiously when he saw Li Xiao woke up.
"What happened?" Li Xiao asked angrily.
"The Turks, the Turks came out of the city. The leader is their Sultan!"
"What's so great about the Sultan? He just killed it. You still have to ask me about this kind of thing. Our goal is to kill all the people in Constantinople. From now on, we can no longer be the overlord here." Li Xiao looked dissatisfied.
He held Li Hu and prepared to continue sleeping.
"But behind him, there are people from the whole city of Constantinople."
"Everyone in the city has come out?"
"Yes! Millions of people are approaching our position step by step. We shot and killed a few. Some people ran back, but there were more people walking forward. They were already within the range of the artillery.
, please tell me whether to fight or not." Although Li Xiao had ordered that anyone coming out of the city would be killed without mercy.
Before, it was just sporadic escapes, ranging from a few people to dozens of people. But now it's different, more than two million people came out all of a sudden.
That's two million people, not two million pigs.
Even if there are two hundred pigs, they must not be killed at will. If that is the case, the executioner will be exhausted to death.
"What a bitch!" Li Xiao cursed and stood up to put on his underwear.
With the help of the traitorous tribes of the Ottoman Empire, Constantinople was surrounded like an iron barrel. Li Xiao's purpose was to trap these two million people to death.
As long as all these two million people die, the Ottoman Empire will become a legendary empire.
Unexpectedly, never expected. Li Xiao had thought of everything, but he never expected that Suleiman II would come up with such an idea.
Killing two million people with hunger is a different concept than killing two million people with guns.
No matter what, Li Xiao couldn't order the soldiers to kill two million people. This requires very tough nerves! Li Xiao was very afraid that his soldiers had survived life and death on the battlefield, but in the end they died because of too many killings.
Crazy.
Even if he is not crazy, such a person with a twisted personality will be a huge security risk if he returns to the Ming Dynasty. Once the violence factor in his heart is activated, God knows what will happen.
"Go and talk to the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire. I agree to their surrender. But they can't get close to my position at the moment. In an hour, bring their Sultan to see me." Li Xiao ordered angrily while getting dressed.
What should he do when the Sudan comes to see him? Li Xiao didn't expect it, but the most important thing now is to prevent the enemy from approaching his position.
As long as two million people rush through the cordon, the soldiers will definitely shoot.
This is how it is on the battlefield. As soon as the gunfire rings, everyone will fall to the ground if they want to stop.
"No!" Li Hu responded and hurried out to deliver the order.
The Ming army's position here was already tense. Countless Ming army officers blew whistles and drove their troops into the trenches. The artillery began to fire according to the calculation. The artillerymen were ready to fire. As soon as they discovered that the Turks were leaving the city,
A carriage was sent to retrieve the shells and set off.
Suleiman II was still walking, although he walked slowly but still walked firmly.
He knew that he needed to walk slower to give General Ming Dynasty time to react. Otherwise, if he and his men directly hit the enemy's position, he would surely die uglier than a pig.
A dozen war horses ran out of the Ming army's position, and the corner of Suleiman II's mouth twitched.
For the first time, someone came out of the enemy's formation, which meant that they were willing to negotiate. After seeing the person clearly, Suleiman II twitched the corner of his mouth again.
Kuliba, the leader of the Yazidis, was once as docile as a pug. His daughter is behind him, and he personally sent her to him to become his concubine.
To be continued...
