"What's going on!" said Suleiman the Great.

"Somebody explain to me why this is happening. ”

The generals looked at each other and did not dare to answer.

All the generals, the sky, the earth, the people. Be able to use all possible favorable factors to achieve victory.

The Bursa military division frowned, the corners of his mouth twitched, and his heart was very confused. This was so unexpected that the Ottomans were well prepared before attacking Athens.

He knew exactly how many soldiers there were in Athens, what their fighting qualities were, and how many famous generals there were. As far as he knew, Athens was now in limbo. There are no outstanding talents among the younger generations, and they are still struggling to support themselves with a few old guys. And those old guys are also about to go to the grave, so there is nothing to worry about, so who will come up with this plan?

Is it Zia Elsulfus or General Pierce, who guards the border?

No way.

Bursa knew these two very well, and if they were outstanding generals in peacetime, they would be a little powerless when it came to fighting between two soldiers.

Whoever it is, what can be known is that Athens has a hidden trick that mortals could not have predicted. Because no one could have imagined that the weather in the city-state of Athens would be so cold this year.

What to do, Bursa thought about it and didn't have any idea. He could only tell coach Suleiman that he could only wait for the beginning of spring before he could find a way to capture Athens.

Suleiman was not happy when he heard this, he frowned and forced his anger to suppress his anger and said: "What did the military advisor say, our army has 200,000 horses, people eat horses and feed them, and the war consumes a lot of money, how can it be possible to fight a protracted war? In my opinion, it is better to attack by force, our troops are more than ten times that of the other side, even if Athens strengthens the city wall with cold ice, there is no need to worry." ”

Suleiman the Magnificent insisted on not listening to the advice of his advisors and still sent troops to attack the city as originally planned.

Suleiman the Great first ordered catapults to open the breach, and then conquered the city in one fell swoop. But this time the Athenian army was not afraid, as steady as Mount Tai, watching the Ottoman army busy.

At the sound of an order, dozens of boulders smashed into the Athenian city wall, and the power of the thousands of pounds of boulders was really huge, and soon the ice city was shattered, showing many gaps.

Suleiman the Magnificent was so proud that he kept attacking, and he was always able to smash the walls of Athens.

However, the unexpected happened again. While the Ottomans were loading catapult ammunition, the Athenian army was busy in the city. I saw that the soldiers in the battlements each had a wooden bucket in their hands and poured water down the city wall.

It was freezing cold, and the water had frozen before it reached the bottom of the city.

The city of Athens remained intact and undamaged.

Then the Ottomans attacked with boulders, and the Athenians did the same.

Emperor Suleiman screamed angrily, and in a fit of rage, he ordered the soldiers to attack the city. However, the difficulty of the siege was much greater—the city was so slippery that it could not even be put up with a ladder.

The Athenian army opened its bow and arrows with ease, and suddenly the siege soldiers were killed and wounded, and the Bursa division saw that this was completely sending people to death, and hurriedly reminded Suleiman to calm down, and then withdrew the army and reduced the losses.

That night, in the Athenian tavern, many people drank heartily and celebrated the defeat of the enemy army again. People talked about how Athens used the ice city to crack the catapult, and everyone rushed to tell each other, and everyone told the story of General Zia's clever plan, and worked tirelessly.

But how did they know that the man who gave advice to General Zia was sitting at a table not far from them, drinking alone. This man is none other than Crick.

The worries of the world are worried, and the joys of the world are happy. Crick kept a clear head at all times. He knew that locking down the city with troops was just a delaying tactic and would not solve anything, but he had done everything he could. Now the success or failure of Athens depends on Hannibal, who is far away.

Crick shook his head and smiled wryly. Suddenly, there was a lot of fun, and maybe there was another person, maybe he would be the key figure in this battle, and even decide the outcome of the war.

......

"Yezi, where are we going, didn't we talk about the Algan Snow Mountain?"

"It's stupid, the Algan Snow Mountains are just a general term for this wasteland, thousands of miles in radius. ”

On the deserted path, Xue Zong and Ye Zi were hurrying forward.

Although the journey was hard and the two were dusty, the leaves were still like a blooming lotus, beautiful and pure. The girl was dressed in white, and she couldn't hide her beautiful appearance, and she was pursing her mouth and laughing at Xue Zong at this time.

Xue Zong looked helpless, although Ye Zi often said that he was stupid, but it didn't matter, he was used to it.

"Big brother, there is a village and town in front, let's go rest and rest, I'm a little tired from walking. Shui Lingling's eyes looked at Xue Zong with expectation, although Ye Zi knew that Xue Zong's consent was not required, she still pretended to be obedient and asked.

"Hey, well, you don't have to look at me like that, I know I don't have a choice. Xue Zong said, rubbing the green silk of the leaves.

"Hee-hee, you're still interesting. The girl said, and ran forward with light steps. It doesn't look like exertion at all.

At this moment, a dozen people wearing crooked hats and squinting at each other walked up, as if writing on their faces that we are bad people.

The first person was slightly fat, five feet tall, and had an obscene face, as if he was the head of these people.

He stopped Ye Zi with lewd eyes, bared his teeth and stuck his waist and said, "Little sister, in this barren mountain and wilderness, be careful of being taken away by wild beasts when walking alone." Why don't I protect you? ”

As he spoke, he reached out and pulled the little white hand of the leaf.

With Ye Zi's martial arts, it was not a problem to deal with these Diao people, but Ye Zi just withdrew his hand and flashed to the side, revealing his signature smile at the same time, like a child who had gotten a toy.

Ye Zi pretended to be embarrassed and said: "Little girl, thank you for the kindness of several heroes, but not long ago I met a traveler who was in a hurry and said the same thing to you. He also wants to protect me, so who should I listen to?" Ye Ziqiu turned his head to look at Xue Zong, who was walking this way not far away.

"Oh, it's terrible, in these ten miles and eight villages, someone dares to rob my name, I don't want to live!" The slightly chubby man pursed his mouth, beckoned, and ordered his subordinates to escort Xue Zong over.

The leader of this person is named Wang Daring, a well-known bully in this area, relying on the wealth and land in his family, he has done a lot of bad things to rob men and women, and he is idle and bored today, so he brought a group of men to hunt.

I didn't expect to meet such a beautiful and moving girl on the road, he suddenly became lustful, and his greedy saliva flowed, he thought that Ye Zi would resist resistance, but he didn't expect to be innocent and fooled, it seems that he can be happy and happy tonight. How could the stupid Wang Daring know that hell awaited him in front of him.

Ye Zi covered his mouth, couldn't help but laugh, stood aside with the mentality of watching a play, and complimented Wang Daring vigorously: "Look at your rich appearance, you must be a gentle and elegant noble son, and the little girl depends on you." ”

"Haha, that's natural, quick, get that kid away for me, don't spoil my good deeds, no, don't let him harass this girl. Wang boldly said.

After receiving Wang Daring's order, two thugs, one tall and one short, blocked Xue Zong's way.
