Chapter 204: Order the Enemy

This invincible fleet now has one hundred and fifty ironclad ships, and if it wants to achieve the effect of firing ten thousand guns, it will have to fire nearly a hundred times according to one ironclad ship.

However, Li Zhike didn't feel sorry for these shells at all, anyway, the shells in the technology factory were piled up.

Li Zhi picked up the walkie-talkie and ordered directly: "Give me a cannon, each ironclad ship must fire a hundred shells for me, otherwise I will directly remove you from your post." ”

"Yes."

This fleet was built by Li Zhi, so no one dared to disobey his orders.

The ironclads all turned their bows and aimed at the opposite shore, and after a simple adjustment, the ironclads began to show their formidable power in front of the Byzantines.

"Boom Boom"

The constant roar made the walls of Constantinople tremble in the distance, and the soldiers on the walls were frightened, and the general in charge of guarding the gates ordered in a panic: "Close the gates quickly." ”

The sound of the cannon fire woke even those who were asleep in the city, and the people walked out of their homes uneasily, their eyes looking in the direction of the gates, and they felt the earth tremble.

Someone whispered, "Could it be that our Emperor His Majesty has done something that is so angry that God wants to punish us?" ”

In the midst of the people's trembling, everything finally returned to calm.

After the smoke outside the city cleared, the soldiers on the city wall saw that the ground two hundred meters away from the city wall had become pitted, and a burning smell came to their faces.

After the 10,000-gun salvo was over, more than 100 battleships quickly docked, and the soldiers quickly landed on the shore with machine guns on their shoulders.

Li Zhi waited for all the soldiers to go ashore before he walked out of the command ship with his woman.

This time, Li Zhi dispatched a total of 5,000 people, all of whom were fully armed, including their heads protected by magic helmets.

With this equipment, Li Zhi believed that even if these people stood in front of the Byzantines and let them cut at will, even if they were soft with machetes, they would not be able to hurt a single hair of these people.

Seeing these 5,000 people appear under the city in unison, the soldiers on the city wall hurriedly waited for them, and the troops guarding Constantinople were the most elite troops in Byzantium, so their reaction speed was also very fast.

It's just that all the people in this team brought by Li Zhi stood outside the range of the Byzantine archers, which made the Byzantine archers only stare dryly.

When Li Zhi came to the city, he pointed to the Byzantine soldiers who were probing their brains and said, "Shoot all these people for me."

"Yes."

"Da Da Da"

After a burst of machine-gun fire, the soldiers at the head of the city were shot into sieves and fell off the city walls.

"This, this, this ??????"

This scene frightened the soldiers on the city, obviously they couldn't hit the enemy under the city, but these enemies could directly kill their own people, looking at the strange weapon in the enemy's hand, even without a blade, it was even more incredible than a dream.

The next target, Li Zhi, chose the city gate.

"Attack"

"Da Da Da"

Five thousand machine guns were aimed at the city gates, and there was a volley, and the piercing sound made people's ears sore.

After the smoke cleared, the gate of this historic city fell to the ground like a jade pillar, like a young girl opening the door in front of Li Zhi.

Constantinople was an impregnable city in the minds of the Byzantines, but now it was as fragile as rotten wood and collapsed with a bang.

Li Zhi shouted at the soldiers on the city wall with a loudspeaker in his hand: "Listen, I command you to go and inform your emperor at once, and I will give him an hour, if he does not take the initiative to meet me, then I will have to take these brothers of mine into the palace to talk to him in person." ”

Look at how domineering these words are, but they can speak in a commanding tone in the face of the enemy.

If another person spoke like this, the soldiers at the head of the city would have already killed each other and chopped each other into meat sauce, but they didn't dare to face Li Zhi at this moment, otherwise they would not even know how they died.

In the face of the Later Tang army, which breached the city gates, the Byzantine generals also said that they could not do anything, so they could only go to the palace to report to the emperor according to Li Zhi's words.

The emperor of Byzantium at this time was Constans II, the grandson of Heraclius. Heraclius is a very famous emperor in Byzantine history, and the greatest achievement of Emperor Heraclius in history is to complete the Hellenistic reform at home and recover the territories occupied by Persia abroad. Militarily, the military district system has given local military leaders a certain degree of autonomy and tax power, and increased their enthusiasm for defending their territory from invasion. Culturally, Emperor Heraclius changed Latin, the official language of the Roman Empire, to the common Greek. The title of Augustus was changed to the title of Basileus. Since then, the Roman Empire has completed the Hellenistic transformation, and the cultural differences between the Byzantine Empire and the ancient Roman Empire have become apparent.

In 633, the nascent Arab states turned their wars against the Byzantine Empire. In that year, the Caliph's army marched on all sides, attacking Jerusalem, Busra, Damascus, and Homs. It is supported by the "Monophylaxis of Christ" in these regions. In 634, the Arabs, led by the mighty general Khalid, defeated the Byzantine army at Blas in Transjordan and then at Echinadan in Palestine. In 635, Damascus was conquered, and Palestine and Syria fell into the hands of the enemy. Heraclius sent his brother Theodora to war, recovering Damascus and other cities, but was defeated at the Battle of the Yarmouk River in June, and Theodora was killed in battle. By the time of Heraclius' death in 641, Palestine, Syria, Jordan, and even Egypt were part of a vibrant Arab empire. Since then, the Byzantine Empire has become a country that has greatly shrunk its territory and is struggling under the blows of the Arabs.

While one hero is ready to make a punch on the stage of history, he is confronted by another hero who is even more impactful, and finally has to watch the grandeur of his blueprint be diminished. Heraclius must have understood this, he was ordered to save the empire from fire and water in times of danger, but when he was ready to make a big difference, he ran into the almost invincible prophet Muhammad, and watched a large part of the empire fall away.

Two heroes coexist in the world, and in the end there is destined to be one person to become a winner and one person to become a loser, but we can't just judge heroes by success or failure, after all, every hero has his heroic deeds, and they have sent out their own shining points in his time.
