......After hearing the eldest prince's explanation, the crowd was in an uproar, and countless people waved their hands excitedly.

The eldest prince looked at the cheering people in front of him with a smile, but he kept sneering in his heart: damn untouchables, they didn't even know that they were dying, and they really thought that they could live by opening the city gate and running out, and they didn't want to think about whether the Tang army would really show mercy before the war ended.

Time passed little by little, and more and more people wanted to break through with them, and hundreds of people gathered in Xicheng, waiting for the city gate to open.

At this time, the Tang army outside the city had already received a notice from the air gliding wing troops and knew about the changes in the city.

The troops stationed in Xicheng urgently gathered and opened a defensive line outside the city, but their number was not 10,000, but 30,000.

Time passed little by little, and half an hour later, the west gate of the city of Constantine was suddenly opened, and at that moment, countless ragged Byzantines rushed out, crossed the moat, and fled desperately in the direction of due west.

The long siege had left the Byzantines with the wrong idea that they would be able to survive as long as they left the capital, so after leaving the city, the Byzantines forgot almost everything, screaming, laughing, and celebrating their escape.

And just as these people ran out of the land of Rich, a gunshot shattered their dreams.

There was no mercy on the battlefield, there were no international conventions in ancient times, and with the first gunshots, soon the gunshots outside the city rang out, and groups of Byzantines fell in pools of blood, and they did not understand until they died, why they left the city and still died.

At this time, the people in the city who wanted to leave had basically rushed out of the west gate, and the five thousand cavalry guarding the departure of the royal family were also ready to attack.

With the order of the eldest prince, tens of thousands of horses' hooves roared and rushed out of the west gate with an indomitable momentum.

On one side was the army of 30,000 people of the Tang Dynasty, and on the other side was its own cavalry, and the Byzantine cavalry that rushed out of the city was caught in the middle.

They were unarmed, there was no way to rush through the defense line of the Tang army, and their own who were getting closer and closer behind them also had no intention of stopping, and the people who left the city late were even knocked away by their own cavalry, and then trampled into pulp.

Miserable, too miserable, the Byzantine people only realized at this time that the so-called taking them away with them was a joke, and they were just some cannon fodder used to attract the attention of the Tang army.

However, this realization seemed to be a little late for them, it was impossible for the Tang army to stop their attacks, and in the face of the menacing Byzantine cavalry, stopping the attack would only make them fall into passivity, and even be fled by the enemy.

In such a situation, even if they had mercy, they could only shoot indiscriminately, trying not to let anyone get close to their defenses.

At the same time, the artillery of the Tang army also began to exert its might, and the shells of the Zhenguan cannon smashed into the cavalry ranks of the Byzantines, setting off a rain of blood, and rockets raged among the Byzantines, carrying one life after another.

Although those cavalry were very fast, the Tang army's attack was too sharp, even if they tried their best to push the speed of the war horse to the extreme, they still couldn't get close to the Tang army's defense line within a hundred steps, the Tang Dynasty firearms are famous all over the world, and this is not something that can be defeated by the courage of blood and blood.

Constantistan and his sons were so frightened that they couldn't even judge the situation on the battlefield, and could only watch as the number of five thousand cavalry dwindled and dwindled.

"Go back, go back! Quick, turn around! In the end, the eldest prince reacted faster, and when almost half of the 5,000 cavalry were killed, he grabbed the war horse and took over the command of the cavalry.

Constantan also reacted at this time, and stopped shouting loudly: "Go back to the city, everyone will go back to the city immediately!" ”

The commander of the cavalry had already been killed, and the Byzantine cavalry at this time was when the dragons were leaderless, and immediately began to turn their horses' heads and rush back towards the city gate that was slowly closing.

Standing on the wall of the West City and seeing everything that was happening outside, the old national teacher could not help but feel a sense of despair in his heart, and while ordering the people to reopen the city gate, he walked down the city wall and prepared to welcome the king back.

If you can't rush out, then let's die together, anyway, once the capital is lost, everything will be equal to zero again, even if the king can leave, if you want to restore the country, you can't do it with red lips and white teeth.

Including those who wanted to flee for their lives, there were about 30,000 people who stormed the city, but less than 3,000 were able to return in the end.

The hapless king of Constantistan was smashed in the face by a cannonball as he approached the gates, leaving nothing but a deformed crown on the ground.

The old national teacher was uncomfortable for a while holding the deformed crown, but he was gone, and even if he went out to look for it, he could only find some bones, and there was no point in picking them up.

The eldest prince was also blown up, and before he could react to what was happening, he was surrounded by a group of people and sat on the throne, without any ceremony, and directly became the new king of Byzantium.

If it was placed in normal times, the eldest prince would be ecstatic to sit in this position, but now he felt like he was sitting on pins and needles, and the cups and plates in the palace with the rumbling of cannons outside were chaotic, and at the same time his liver trembled.

The Tang army was imminent in breaking through the city, and the failure of the breakthrough made the defenders of the city completely lose the belief in continuing to fight, and it was clear to everyone that the king wanted to use them as a quilt and escape by himself, as for whether it was successful or not was another question entirely.

The eldest prince, no, it should be said that His Majesty the King sat on the throne, looked at the courtiers below who were already half missing, and sighed bitterly: "Everyone, Kaesong surrenders, Byzantium...... Finished! ”

"Your Majesty, you can't, there is still food in the city, and the people can still fight, so don't give up lightly." The tax collector told nonsense with his eyes open, trying to redeem the decision of the new king.

After all, after surrendering, the Tang army still had to enter the city, and as long as the Tang army entered the city, these officials and wealthy families would inevitably become the target of the Tang army.

How could the eldest prince, who had just ascended the throne, not know what the people below were thinking, but now, he had already messed up, money and other things were no longer taken into account, and he cared about being able to save his life.

But before he could express his opinion, there was an earth-shattering sound of thunder from the direction of Dongcheng, and then the entire palace trembled, and the officials standing in the main hall turned into rolling gourds one by one.
