Farah's expression went from bland to shocked in just a few seconds. Except for the low roar of the night wind blowing open the tent gates, no sound could be heard at this moment.

He was not unaware of the new legions of the Romans. At the meeting of the Vizier of Kubarti (Dome), the Fourth Army was mentioned more than once. The two factions of Zhan and the two factions also focused on the existence of this legion as to whether or not to besiege Trabzon.

It can be said that apart from the other two legions, which have suffered greatly losses, the Fourth Army is the only variable that the Ottoman Empire may face. Although Muhammad eventually settled the "family affairs", the eventual struggle for power led to the withdrawal of the entire empire from the Balkans.

By order of the Great Sultan, Trabzon, must become part of the Ottomans.

"How could it be ......," Farah's eyes looked directly at the young man dressed as a Roman soldier in front of him. Although he was just an ordinary infantry at the bottom of the army, he naturally witnessed and experienced the incredible and bloody rebellion.

"Your Excellency, almost all the soldiers of the Fourth Regiment and the inhabitants of nearby Trabzon can attest to the fact that this conflict broke out suddenly without warning." The soldier-like man knelt in front of Farah, "They joined forces against our attack a few days ago, but they ...... that day"

"Without any reason?"

"Nope. It was only the Fourth Legion, at the behest of Osini, suddenly launched an attack on Nikephoros and his guards. All the personal guards of the Duke of Trabzon...... Including him himself, he was killed on the spot. Nikephoros was impaled through the heart by Ossini with his own sword. ”

Farah swollen between his knuckles and his arm, and he struggled in agony.

If this unprovoked outbreak was true, it would have been a great opportunity for Osman to attack. The shortage of manpower and the panicked atmosphere in the city were enough to break the morale of any defending force.

"General Farah, you should remain calm, there is still a risk for us to take the initiative to attack at this time. If there is a real conflict in the city, we can wait a few more days until the conflict breaks out and the city riots......"

After Lycaon betrayed the Ottoman Empire on the battlefield of life and death as a high-ranking military officer, the power of the Ottoman civil servants and military generals once again developed a delicate balance. Grand Vizier Khalil quickly reaped power in Kubalti. For the first time, Muhammad heard a different voice.

This is also the reason why the originally planned offensive against the Black and White Sheep Dynasty finally failed.

But Farah is a descendant of Karacha and one of many viziers. Almost all of Karacha's close associates regarded the Balkan-Edirne battle as a disgrace, and to this day, Trabzon is not only a strategic value, but also for Karacha to regain his voice at the Vizier Congress, and to avenge the Great Sultan's revenge on Edirne.

At this time, different opinions and opinions in the military tent came and went, and in fact Farah still insisted on his own ideas. No matter how the situation evolves within Trabzon, he must be taken into possession.

"General! Checkmate! ”

"Think about the possible risks." Farah took it and put it aside, and the roster of the legion that would be sorted out every day, and the details of the current besieging troops would be recorded.

"We are more than ten times the number of the Romans, even if this siege fails, it will be more than enough to evacuate the battlefield, if they give up the walls and terrain advantage to pursue, it will be their doom......" Farah analyzed, "The siege has been going on for a long time, and even if they open the sea route, it is absolutely impossible to get a large amount of support and supplies in a short time." If we continue to delay like this, the tide of the war will turn to our disadvantage. We bear the same ten times as much attrition and military spending as theirs! ”

"We're running out of elite numbers...... General, at least wait until the supply of troops arrives, and I am afraid that it will be ...... to rely on mercenaries and levies."

"Can we afford to wait? In a few days, who can guarantee that Nikephoros's death will continue to ferment or be gradually subsided? The commoners are forgetful, as long as Ossini has a little brain to do propaganda, how much does the life and death of the Grand Duke of Trabzon, who is thousands of miles away from the daily life of the common people, have to do with them? When the time comes, wait to hear them shout slogans to kill the infidels and launch a desperate resistance? Farah said half-angrily, "The opportunity is fleeting, we can only wait for the current contradiction to suddenly launch an attack, in order to have the effect of a surprise attack, in order to deal the most direct blow to the morale of the defenders and civilians in the city!" ”

"General......

The ensuing discussion had actually lost its meaning, and Farah's orders reached every soldier's ears overnight.

The next day, when the sound of war drums and trumpets sounded outside Trabzon, the clouds that had been hanging in the sky for days were gradually dispersing.

"It doesn't look like it's going to rain...... "Livia is now in charge of the defense of Trabzon, and sunny days are the only thing he is looking forward to these days.

As soon as the order was given, the logistics people who had already arranged for the port area to the front line of the city wall immediately began to busily carry the last nail that drove the Ottomans into the cemetery.

Of course, in Farah's eyes, this attack is also a win.

The sparse defenders on the city wall looked terrified, and the hands holding their weapons were trembling. While they are still using arrows to fight back with ballistas, it is clearly not as effective.

All of this was naturally attributed to the riots of the previous days in Trabzon. Soon, the war will come to an end. The timid legions of the Romans and their commanders would be beheaded in front of the great Ottoman soldiers.

"Siege!"

The sling's men immediately cut the sacred rope, and the terrifying boulder cut through a parabola and smashed aground on the wall. The ground began to tremble with the terrifying impact, and the defenders on the walls became even more panicked.

Under the cover of arrows, the engineers quickly stepped forward to lay ladders, and as cheap slave soldiers, their lives were of little importance to the other soldiers, and therefore carried out the most dangerous work.

Boiling oil and falling rocks fell straight above their heads without mercy, and the blood burst into a desperate thud as soon as it touched the boiling oil.

As soon as the liquid at such a high temperature comes into contact with the skin, it can smell a burnt smell, followed by a blur of flesh and even separation of flesh. But the slaves continued to try to erect ladders to the walls. At the same time, the second round of rubble was loaded, and the attack on the city was launched again.
