The army of Wu built camps outside Istanbul.

They were not in a hurry to attack at this time.

But looking from the top of the city, I still felt fear when I saw the camp for dozens of miles.

The soldiers and civilians in the city began to prepare for victory with this giant city under the command of the emperor and officers.

The entire Istanbul is divided into two parts by the strait.

This means... they have the strait as a natural barrier.

Moreover, the high wall built by this huge rock, even a powerful cannon, would never collapse easily.

At least at this time, the Ottomans had stabilized their positions.

Although it was panic, Istanbul had long become indestructible under the management of Ottoman monarchs.

The towering and sturdy city walls, towers, and countless imperial guards, are ready to fight to the death at this moment.

A few days later, the siege began.

Countless roars of artillery have caused the city to fall into a sea of ​​fire.

However, its city walls are several feet thick, and most of them are made of granite!

Although the power of the cannon is extremely powerful and its lethality against the imperial guards on the city is even more amazing, at this time, it cannot easily do anything to this giant city.

According to the calculations of the Engineer Battalion, it will take at least half a month to bombard the city with artillery.

And at that time, once the city breaks into the city, if the imperial guards in the city resist firmly, the losses will be considerable.

What's more... this city is built on the back of the sea, and behind it is the Ottomans located in the heart of Europe, which means that the Ottomans can obtain supplies continuously with this. Even if they send ships to blockade them at sea, it is probably not easy.

Zhu Zaimo and Fang Jifan were staring blankly at the map.

It was so smooth before that I suddenly encountered a tough problem and was a little troublesome.

"The attack can be captured, but the loss is huge." Zhu Zaimo sighed.

Fang Jifan blinked: "I have a plan."

Zhu Zaimo looked up and looked at Fang Jifan: "I don't know what my teacher has to do?"

Fang Jifan said: "Today morning, we can't attack as before. If we want to fight, we have to hurt. Put all our strength into it. In the early morning, the flying ball camp attacked, and then... take out all our artillery, without being stingy with gunpowder, under the city... all infantrymen are ready to attack the city. Can ships be transferred nearby? Let the ships appear on the sea..."

Zhu Zaimo frowned.

Is this method...feasible?

You know... After all, the supply line of the new army is too long, so all ammunition is precious.

There is not enough gunpowder in the army.

But according to the teacher's intention, there is no stingy cost.

If all the ammunition is used up tomorrow, I want to replenish the supplies in the future, but I don’t know how long it will take.

Seeing his mentor's ambition, he nodded and said, "Then... let's try it."

...

So it was dawn the next morning.

After testing the wind speed and direction, Shen Ao, general of the Flying Ball Battalion, and Yang Biao, deputy general, led the team to take off.

Every time as the flying ball soars into the air, Yang Biao feels like he is flying in the clouds.

However, the climate here is obviously different from that in the Ming Dynasty. Once it is in the air, it will be not only a giant city, but also a vast ocean behind it.

The weather here is unknown and it is quite dangerous. Once a storm comes, the flying ball is very likely to fall into the sea.

Subconsciously, Yang Biao took out the jerky meat and suppressed the shock.

…………

The flying balls began to flow into Istanbul.

Immediately afterwards, the roar of artillery began.

The Ming army showed off their unique skills, and countless artillery bombarded endlessly.

Countless artillery shells, like fireballs, fell into the giant city, and then... exploded... smoke filled the gunpowder.

The point where the bullets fell was like hell on earth, with wailing everywhere. The Ottomans in the city tried to fight back with cannons, but their cannons... like a joke...

Immediately afterwards... countless flying balls began to reach the sky.

Countless sulphur bombs and bombs began to throw.

Since the early morning... such a one-sided massacre has never stopped.

It was noon...it was just a stop.

When the flying ball camp dispersed, the artillery straightened and bombarded.

The whole city is almost devastated.

The remaining people returned to the tower that had been broken and ruined, looking down, and saw that countless infantry soldiers were sharpening their knives and the storm of black soldiers seemed to be ready to attack the city after the second round of artillery attacks began.

This is a desperate feeling.

The military and civilians hid in nearby buildings and closed the heavy doors. The elderly held their children and their families snuggled up to each other, silently thinking about any god they thought was credible...

Then...

In the central army camp outside the city, a quick report was delivered to Fang Jifan.

Fang Jifan finally felt relieved.

He looked at Zhu Zaimo with ease: "Your Highness, the mission is done..."

On that day...

A city gate is open.

Before the imperial guards in the city noticed it... at this inconspicuous city gate, countless new troops were seen swarming in.

Immediately afterwards...scattered battles began to take place in the city.

The resistance is not fierce.

Most of the imperial guards were already frightened after being attacked by artillery and flying ball camps! The only thing that could calm them was the tall city wall, and once the city wall was lost, their last bit of courage would be lost.

Countless new troops poured in and began to occupy important positions in the city. Then... they cleared some outposts that were resisting in the city at a fixed point, and the speed of advancement was extremely fast.

Immediately afterwards, under the escort of hundreds or thousands of people, Zhu Zaimo and Fang Jifan rode into the city.

At the gate of the city gate made by this rock, a group of officials led by Li Zheng were bowed to each side.

They were still wearing Ottoman's gorgeous clothes, but they all looked as if they were dead.

They found the best angle with ease, knelt down on the ground, and welcomed the prince and the regent into the city.

As soon as they saw His Highness the crown prince's lord, they immediately put away their dead niang's expression, forced out their smiles, cheered up, and crawled on the ground, whispering loudly: "The criminal has seen His Highness the crown prince and the regent."

The city gate... was actually opened by Li Zheng.

Suleiman was extremely worried about the abilities of Li Zheng and others, so he only asked them to patrol the less important city gates.

Today's fierce attack made Li Zhengren and others realize that... Istanbul's fall is only a matter of time sooner or later.

They were in the city, each of them trembled with fear.

But...scholars are scholars!

The difference between them and ordinary terrified soldiers and civilians is that they are well aware of the truth that people will have immediate worries without long-term thinking.

Sooner or later, the city will be broken, and then... can you... have good fruits to eat like me?

Instead of waiting for death, why not turn against each other and welcome the king's army at this time? Even if you are still guilty, you will still lose your life. Wouldn't it be beautiful?

Who will be unable to live with your own life?

Therefore... on that day, everyone did not stop and immediately ordered their confidants to secretly open the city gate and lead the new army into the city.

The whole process was very smooth.

Because the defenders in the city were already in panic, they could not take care of each other, let alone in this situation of artillery fire, no one could care about an inconspicuous city gate.

As soon as the new army attacked, by the time everyone realized it was obviously too late.

Headed by Li Zheng, hundreds of Confucian ministers were anxiously waiting for the prince and the regent to take the lead.

Among them, someone had seen Fang Jifan.

Unexpectedly, Fang Jifan, who drove them away, would meet again ten years later thousands of miles away.

When Zhu Zaimo and Fang Jifan rode to them, Li Zheng crawled on the ground, looked up carefully at Zhu Zaimo and Fang Jifan, and then hurriedly lowered his head.

Zhu Zaimo had no expression on his face: "You still know what you are like!"

This sentence is naturally very unpolite.

Li Zhengzhen said: "Your Highness, the number of days changes, the magical artifacts are easier, and it is natural for people who have virtue to return to the virtuous. Ottomans are barbarians. Such a fertile land, barbarians can be here for a long time. The criminals and other criminals... follow the heavens and come to the fortune... Now I see the prince... the weapon is majestic... the dragon... the dragon walks and tigers... I am happy... I am happy."

Zhu Zaimo looked speechless, and he glanced at Fang Jifan.
Chapter completed!
