Your Excellency, since late last night, all the messengers who have been going to and from the other forts around have lost contact, and according to the news brought by our spies, the Romans and the Hungarian forces have formed a network around Edirne, and the Albanian soldiers are missing. Our Edirne is now an isolated city......"

Muhammad had completely calmed down by this time. There was no craft at hand for him to fall, and as long as he sat in the court of Edirne for a moment, the worst news he received was always the next one.

"You tell me...... What to do. ”

"It's okay, you say. Now we know our situation in everyone's hearts. ”

"Say? Aren't you very good at talking, come, tell me. The Romans and the Hungarians my encirclement has stepped on the neck of Edirne, and which of you will tell me what I should do, what should the Ottomans do? ”

"Stopped talking?"

"Karacha, you have contributed to the battle of Varna, and you have the best way to fight the Crusaders, you say?"

"Lycaon, put down the usurping rebels, and the cavalry legion you led will defend Edirne to the death, you say?"

"Khalil, you know the most about the Romans, you say?"

"What? It's all dumb! Edirne is going to fall at any moment, and you're all pretending to be dumb for me one by one, aren't you?! Yes! ”

Karacha, who was sitting in the military attache's seat, suddenly spoke: "Your Majesty, I still think that holding on to Edirne is our best choice at the moment. This is not what General Lucaon meant alone. Indeed, the walls of Edirne were so strong that they were difficult to destroy in a short time. The Romans and their allied armies had very limited food and salaries, which were not enough to support a long siege and storm the walls, and our defenders in the city were not much less than theirs, and the other fortresses, even if they were cut off from Edirne, would try to form reinforcements to attack them from the periphery. Their encirclement may seem immense, but in fact it is fragile. After a period of time, it can be said that it is self-defeating. In fact, I could not have imagined at all what capital the Romans and their allied forces had to besiege Edirne. ”

"Your Excellency Karacha, do you think we have a lot of food stocks?" Khalil snorted and sat down in his seat to stare at Karacha, "Edirne isn't a big granary. We have tens of thousands of defenders here, do you think we can hold out for long? Don't go out of the city to meet the enemy, just sit within the walls and wait to be killed? Is that your conducting style? ”

"Get out! Get out of here! ”

"Your Majesty, you should make a decision as soon as possible......"

"Don't you understand? I'll leave you alone! Get out! ”

Mount Malech, the siege camp of the coalition forces, the second day.

"John."

"Uncle Thomas! General Latius! ”

After the offensive of the Morean and Greek legions was fully launched, they finally reached the predetermined position on the second day of the siege, filling the weakest gap in the entire encirclement network. In this way, the Holy See Guard can be better retracted, and the whole of Edirne is already blocked, and it is difficult for a bird to cross.

John ...... Let me warn you that if you just besiege but not attack, Moreah's food stocks will not be able to sustain you for long. The key reason why your father didn't want to delay for too long was that the Empire's food and finances were on the surface. This time, you are mobilizing troops from all over the empire, and this is not just you, the Phoenix Legion. There are also huge naval expenditures. If it weren't for the Venetians' investment in this war, I'm afraid we would have declared bankruptcy by now. ”

"Uncle Thomas, don't worry!" Sophia pulled Prince Thomas aside, although in John's eyes, Sophia was an elusive and intellectual, very deep woman, but most of the others were serious, she was just an ungrown, just a cute little girl. Usually in the presence of such people, it is easiest for people to let down their guard. It is also the easiest to have kindness and mercy in the heart.

"My brother has already figured out how to break through the inner city of Edir, and it is only a matter of time before Mehmed II opens the door and surrenders!"

"Sophia? John, how did you bring Sophia to the camp...... Forget it, I can't control the two of you. Thomas sighed, the so-called "holy marriage" issue was spread in the upper circles of the empire, at first Prince Thomas just laughed it off, but when he heard the reaction of Constantine XI when Albania and the empire discussed marriage, it was simply self-defeating.

"So, our clever princess, can you tell us what kind of method the two newcomers are?" Latius pulled a chair and sat down, but Lilac, who had stopped napping on it, grabbed at his helmet, "Ah! Damn flat-haired brutes! ”

If Thomas didn't know that much about this quirky little girl, Latius had suffered a lot. Even when he was still in charge of defending Constantinople, he was impressed by Sophia's ingenuity.

"General Latius, I tell you now, if you and Prince Thomas's troops avoid the defenders on the walls and enter the city of Edirne, but there are more than 20,000 defenders in the city, as well as the most elite Sultan's guards, do you have the confidence to hold out under the walls for an hour and not let the front collapse?"

"Directly avoiding the walls?" Latius wondered, "If there really isn't anyone interfering on the walls, it should be no problem to hold on to an hour's onslaught, and there are quite a few heavy infantry and line infantry in the Greek legions." Originally, it was used to deal with sieges, and the effect of resisting frontal impact should be better. It's just that...... Avoiding the city walls, is it possible? ”

"When the time comes, someone will open the door for us, so you don't have to worry about that. Your mission is to nail the southern gates of Edirne for an hour, at which point you will need to make a gesture of onslaught so that the defenders of Edirne will focus their full attention on you. Uncle Thomas also had to cooperate with General Latius. ”

"The Greek legions are really troubled...... Latius shook his head with a smile, "then obey, my little majesty." ”

"When the rest of the gates are empty...... If nothing else...... The North Gate and the East Gate will open at the same time. General Publius, Your Majesty Hunyadi, I will trouble you separately. ”

"Look, Your Majesty still feels sorry for your descendants!" Hunyadi half-jokingly.

"No...... The Phoenix Legion will go straight into the inner city, engage the Sultan's Guards head-on, and ...... Capture Muhammad alive! ”
