On this day, the Ottoman grain commander Gerald was ordered to prepare sufficient supplies and report to Suleiman the Magnificent.

Suleiman the Magnificent was overjoyed, and after a few words of affirmation, he asked him to step down. Gerard, however, gave a military salute and said, "Your Majesty, I have brought a friend of many years named Cook. The man was an ordnance wizard with many amazing inventions, and he said he had the means to conquer Athens without much effort. ”

"Oh yes, bring him in. "Suleiman the Great.

Gerald ushered in a thin young man, who didn't look like a soldier.

"I heard you have a way to help me conquer Athens?" asked Suleiman the Magnificent.

"Yes, I have a solution. Cook, visibly frightened, reached out and pulled out a small catapult from his pocket and placed it on the table.

"If Your Majesty agrees, let me show you. Cook said respectfully.

"Yes. ”

Cook pulled a corn kernel out of his pocket, placed it on the catapult, and then pulled the trigger, the spring loosened, and the kernel bounced out.

Suleiman the Magnificent found it interesting and asked, "Cook, you don't just want to use this to defeat Athens, do you?"

"Of course not, Your Majesty, but I have a way of enlarging this catapult so that it can throw a thousand pounds of boulders, so that it can break the walls of Athens without much effort. ”

When Suleiman heard this, he clapped his hands again and again, and said: "Okay, I'll give you this opportunity, I will now appoint you as the chief mechanic of the Ottoman army, and you can mobilize all the materials you want and complete it as soon as possible." ”

With an army of 200,000 troops, it was not easy to make dozens of catapults, but it was completed in an instant.

The war has entered its final game.

On that day, the sky was overcast, and the sun was nowhere to be seen. The Ottoman army almost attacked Athens from four directions, east, west, north and south.

First, the death squad charged, followed by a tug-of-war. The Athenian army fought hard and fought bloodily to defend its city.

The Ottomans attacked eight times in a row without any success, and the walls of Athens were very strong, so to speak, impregnable, and the city was designed by Hannibal himself, with crossfire and favorable terrain. Now it seems that this is a very far-sighted move.

Suleiman the Magnificent watched his soldiers fall one after another with a gloomy face, and showed a cruel smile, and ordered: "It seems that Athens is really a hard bone." Ordered the whole army, withdraw, get on the catapult. ”

The catapult fired a thousand pounds of boulders, and soon blasted the walls of Athens out of many large pits, and if this continued, the walls would soon be overwhelmed and collapsed, and no one would be able to save Athens by then.

Coincidentally, it's winter, and it's freezing cold, and this year's Athens is exceptionally cold. It stands to reason that the roads in Athens are icy all year round, but this year was an exception.

"Bang ......" Suleiman the Magnificent suddenly felt something hit his head.

Is it the enemy's weapon? It can't be, so what could it be?

Suleiman the Magnificent looked down, but it was a block of ice.

Suleiman the Magnificent frowned, really disappointed, and kicked the ice away with his hand.

"Slap ......" is another piece.

The Ottomans still didn't react until someone shouted, "Hail, hail!"

The weather was unpredictable, and hail fell in Athens at the time of the decisive battle. Suleiman the Magnificent was very annoyed, and he was about to conquer Athens in one fell swoop.

had no choice but to collect the troops and return to the camp first.

The world is like this, and some people's misfortune is the greatest luck for others. The hailstorm gave Athens a respite. The warriors of Athens braved the danger of hail to fortify the walls overnight, and General Zia was busy until late at night.

The old man is also in his sixties, and he has not had a good rest overnight, and he is a little physically exhausted. After instructing his subordinates to take strict precautions, he returned to his residence in a gloomy mood.

As the commander of Athens, he had to worry about the outcome of this war. The enemy army was already much stronger than himself, and now I don't know who came up with the idea to build such a powerful catapult. If it weren't for today's hailstorm, Athens would probably have broken due to negligence, which is really dangerous.

General Zia didn't think about tea and dinner, and sat at the table thinking about how to fight the enemy.

The food was reheated many times, and the servant felt sorry for his master, and said, "General, the food is hot, you can eat a little more, you work for the country day and night, and your body will not be able to bear it if you continue like this." ”

The servant's eyes were red, he really felt sorry for General Zia's body.

"Hey!" General Zia sighed and said, "The country is in danger, but I, as the commander of Athens, am immoral and incompetent, and I have no way to defend the city, what kind of face can I eat such a good dish." ”

"If the general refuses to eat, shall I make you a bowl of soup?"

General Zia nodded. The servant was overjoyed and hurriedly rushed to the kitchen to make porridge, for fear that General Zia would change his mind, he was really a loyal servant!

Just when General Zia was in a depressed mood, a Chinese officer came in and told him that someone had sent a letter from outside the door, which was sent by the merchant Creek last time, and that it was very important.

"Oh?" General Zia's eyes lit up, and he quickly took the letter and opened it to read.

I saw that the old man's body trembled slightly, his fists were clenched, his eyes were like torches, and he read the letter twice.

"Smack!" he slapped the table with his hand and said, "What a genius! Athens is saved." Athens was saved. General Zia rushed out of the house in a frenzy and prepared as the letter said.

"General, the porridge is ready, come and eat it. The servant walked into the house with a bowl of fragrant egg drop porridge, but General Zia was nowhere to be seen.

"Today we must conquer Athens!"

It rained overnight and didn't stop until the next day.

Suleiman the Magnificent was a little impatient, as soon as the hail stopped, he was anxious for his men to hold a meeting, to order the generals, today he did not intend to charge from all sides, but to concentrate all his forces on Simon, yesterday he had seen the power of catapults, and today he would definitely be able to take Athens.

In order to boost morale, Suleiman said to the people: "Rank as generals, if you can take Athens, you can slaughter the city for three days, loot gold, silver and jewels, and take prisoners, and I will not pursue it." ”

By now, the Ottomans had finally taken off their hypocritical masks and attacked Athens for the sake of profit, ready to burn Athens to the ground.

The day on which Suleiman gave his order is known in history as the beginning of the Dark Ages.

Just as the Ottoman army was grinding their fists and preparing to send troops to fight, they suddenly saw the detective come in in a panic to report, and said: "Report to the commander, the big thing is not good." ”

Suleiman the Magnificent frowned and said, "What's the alarm?"

"I don't know what kind of witchcraft Athens did, and it turned Athens into an ice city overnight. ”

"Huh?" said Suleiman the Magnificent, furious, "If you dare to lie about the military, I will cut off your head." ”

"Report!" the second probe ran in and said, "Your Majesty, go out and have a look, Athens has become an ice city!"

At this time, everyone couldn't sit still, and they got up and went out to watch.

But what I saw was true, and for some reason, Athens actually built a wall of ice!
