Chapter 282: Facing the Attack (Part II)

"Look ......" the soldiers on the walls of Trebizond suddenly saw in horror the terrifying scene before them. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

It was a black tide that seemed to engulf the whole city, and the raging tide had no intention of subduing, it swallowed up the whole mountain plain, and nothing could stop it. And the smell of slaughter seemed to make the grass yellow, and when the Herodians saw it thoroughly, they realized that it was not a tide at all, but an army of iron horsemen with no end in sight.

The banner of the crescent moon fluttered in the wind, and the Seljuk soldiers wearing square scarves were already in formation, and the army of tens of thousands could not be seen from the bottom of the city. The Herod screamed in horror, the Seljuks had already attacked, they had thought that it would take some time to prepare from the sudden appearance of the Turks to the attack, after all, the defense of Trebizond could be said to be very tight, and the batteries in the city could easily destroy any target that tried to get close, but in fact they finally realized that they were very wrong.

"Dodge! Avoid! At this moment, someone suddenly shouted, and Herod, who woke up, realized that a heavy Great Wall cannon had been aimed at them.

"Get cover!" And immediately after, the artillery fire had already fallen.

On the surface, the walls of Trebizond are made of ancient stone, but in fact they use a new type of castle casting technology, so even the new artillery is difficult to capture. This time, however, the Seljuks were using the long-range artillery that the Trebizons had seen for the first time, the latest weapon, which was only available in a very small number of countries in the West, and with it, the artillery positions built by the Turks were not at all threatened by the turrets of the Herodian walls, but they were ready to meet the artillery fire on their heads.

Shells fell on the city, and the debris flew and injured many of the soldiers defending the city.

Many of Herod's soldiers were reluctant to stay on the dangerous wall for even a second, because every time they stayed on the wall for a short time, they could die without a place to bury.

But even when they saw the retreat of the Trabizon soldiers on the city walls, the Seljuk artillery fire did not stop at all, and did not spare the shells at all, the long-range artillery continued to roar, and the dust soon engulfed the wall.

"Pasha, are we going to continue?" Watching the long-range artillery swallow fireworks and send heavyweight shells to the city wall, a general beside Serena asked, after all, these new weapons are the only ones in the Seljuk army, because Su Dan attaches great importance to this battle before he is allowed to use them, but if he uses them so uncontrollably now, he has to feel that it is too wasteful. The hardness of the walls of Trebizond was not something that could be solved by these few long-range guns.

"Of course we have to continue, it's not enough now, don't you think our ammunition can't even support this level?" Serena asked with a cold glance at the subordinate beside her, and the general immediately closed his mouth.

Serena, on the other hand, continued to watch the movements of the Trebizons on the city wall through a telescope, and with only a small number of troops, they did not dare to meet it, and they did not even have the courage to stand on the wall. The capture of Trabizon was crucial, and Serena knew that the most important thing for those who opposed Sultan was their own defeat, and that in that case it would be difficult for the reforms to continue.

At this time, in the city of Trebizond, the residents also fell into an unprecedented panic, one or two long-range artillery pieces directly crossed the city wall and fell into the residential area, and a huge pit appeared directly in the affected city, and the Trabizon people who were frightened by the sudden attack immediately scattered and fled, and the city guards could only barely maintain law and order, even if they were so worn out, it was difficult for the residents to believe that the fall of the shells was just an accident.

The only way to do that is to evacuate the crowd.

"Keep order, don't panic!"

"Don't squeeze everyone!"

The most worrying thing now is not the attack of the Seljuk artillery, but the possible mass stampede caused by the panic of the population. But even so, the sheriff's officers in the city struggled to keep the crowd calm, let alone guide them to flee.

……

"Tsk, so fast!" The Senate had misestimated the timing of the Turkic attack, and they had not expected the Seljuks to use such a thing as long-range artillery. You must know that the fall of the new Roman Empire was like this, and in the face of Western Western-style weapons, even powerful empires collapsed, which had to make people feel dangerous.

"What the hell is going on? How could they have such weapons? "The parliamentarians are furious, such a weapon is already a threat to them, and if that happens, Trabizon is likely to repeat the mistakes of the past.

"Damn, are the Westerners doing it?" As soon as they spotted the long-range artillery, they thought that it might be the Lastines again, which was not impossible. During the Second Crusade, the Crusaders allied with the Crescent states of Anatolia against the rising power of the Crescent Caliphate in the south. So this time, even if the Seljuks had the long-range artillery that only the Western powers would have, they would not be surprised at all.

"What are we going to do? Are all those damn soldiers eating dry food? ”

The disdainful nobles of Emperor Zhang looked at him, and their only reliance was on the turrets on the city walls, but what was very angry now was that their own soldiers did not dare to move, and actually sat back and watched the cannonballs fall on their city.

The nobles of the House of Elders obviously couldn't sit still.

But at this moment, Andopoulis finally couldn't stand it anymore.

"Silence, gentlemen! Is that what you're showing? It's a real disappointment, look at the difference between you and those scared soldiers! Andopolis sarcastically said without hesitation, leaving many nobles embarrassed.

"What do you mean by this, Secretary Andopolis...... But we're in a hurry now! After all, we won't be able to last long if we continue like this. Even at the fastest speed, it would take the main army in the west about a week to get back. A lawmaker said.

But Andopoulis immediately shook his head and said, "If you mess up like this, I'm afraid you won't be able to hold out for even a day." Knowing that the walls of Trebizond have been remodeled, and even the walls of Theodosius may not be so strong, what about long-range artillery? To expect this to be able to breach our city, the Seljuks would be ridiculous! ”

Andopolis rebuked the panicked nobles before, and everyone was a little ashamed of their previous words and actions.

Andopoulis then turned his gaze to King Angros and said, "Your Majesty, I wonder if you can help us at this time." After all, it's not just about the survival of the kingdom, it's also about His Royal Highness the Knight King. I'm afraid that if he falls into the hands of the Seljuks, his fate will be even more miserable. ”

And Angros, who had not looked at him before, suddenly walked in front of Andopulis at this time and said coldly: "You don't need to be reminded of this, but I also want to warn you not to do anything at this time, otherwise, I will make you pay!" ”

"Of course you don't need to be reminded of that, my majesty." In the face of Angros's threat, Andopulis did not have any fear at all, of course he was a tyrant, but not in front of himself, Trebizond was not only Angros's, but also the Palio family.

……

"How's it going?" Ekarina heard the shelling outside, and felt a sense of panic, she did not know what was really happening. She hadn't seen Constance, Dante since she came to the city. At this time, she was taking care of Dukeyat in the hospital bed, although his gunshot wound was almost healed, but he still had to rest for a while, originally Constance Dante was going to let him stay in Warsaw at that time, but as Constance Dante's chief of guard, he insisted on following Constance Dante.

"I don't know, but the war must be coming." Dr. Fabre replied with a solemn expression. Unexpectedly, there were waves of unsettled, and this is not a safe place.

"As long as war comes, I'm afraid it will be difficult for Constance Dante to be alone."

"You mean ......"

"Do you think that the people of Trebizond have taken us in only for sheer kindness? Of course, like the people of Novgorod, they wanted to use the power of Constantine. With the help of those terrible war machines. Dr. Fabre has a disgusted face every time he mentions the Mecha, he has watched his lover have his soul devoured by the steel monsters, and Fabre does not want ConsΓ© Dante to be eaten in the end.

But as Consda Dante himself said, he was the chosen knight, naturally the man born for war, and his fate was sealed from the beginning. Where there is war, Constance Dante will inevitably sit in the cold cockpit of the mecha to fight the devil.

"How so?" Ekarina lost her voice and changed color.

"Of course that's the case, and if his body continues like this, I'm afraid it won't last long. So during this time, you must write down everything that you are able to learn. After all, I can't stay with him forever to treat him. Dr. Fabre reluctantly said that this was the agreement he had made with Ekarina in the first place, that is, to stay with him and be his student. What Fabre wanted to do was leave the treatment and care of Consei-Dante's body to a credible person, and Ekarina was undoubtedly the best candidate. Although it is self-asserted, this man also has his own unspeakable secrets.

……

At this time, the Seljuk artillery was still not stopped, as if there was an endless supply of shells, and God knows how they could have opened fire so desperately.

The Herodians, suppressed by the fire, could only watch as the Turks' siege towers and ladders continued to advance, and if they continued to do so, their walls would fall sooner or later, which no one wanted to see.

"In this case...... I can only pray for you. Angros said as he looked at the skinny young man from the high platform.

And that was none other than Constance Dante himself, who was "released", although only temporarily.

But Constance Dante seemed calm, "I don't have a choice at this time, do I?" "This is the so-called freedom, the so-called opportunity that the House of Elders gave him, and of course he has no choice, because at this time he is not just fighting for Trebizond, but for himself. The Seljuks wanted to attack Trebizond, and of course Constance Dante could not continue to be uncooperative.

At this time, Constance Dante was piloting the [Sea Harrier] mecha, one of the only mechs in Trebizond, although it was more advanced than the T-type mecha, but it was still a third-generation mecha, and driving this kind of thing could not stimulate Cons Dante's potential at all.

"May you be able to start the game." At this time, the girl beside Angros also whispered that despite their efforts, Conseidante still did not have the trust of the Presbyterians, and only a victory in this battle might change the situation, and it all depended on Considine himself.

Looking at the face that was somewhat similar to Sophia's silhouette, Constance Dante didn't say anything, just nodded and said, "I will do my best, but whether I can win or not, maybe only God knows." ”

With that, Constance Dante pulled up the halyard and sat in the cockpit, and the cockpit door closed as well.

"Electronic fire control system unlocked."

"Mecha Joint System Unlocked."

A cold electronic sound sounded in his ears, and Consit's Dante's eyes lit up, and he immediately gained control of the mech, and the other eight mechs around him also activated their power systems, along with himself, a total of nine knights, which was the maximum limit that Trabizon could send at one time. It's not just these mechs, but the Council of Elders will never take such a big risk to put their last bet on it.

If it fails, Trebizond will never be able to turn the tables around.

"Knights, please report the news." A man whispered in his ear.

"Understood." Cons, Dante, and the other eight knights echoed at the same time.

And the officer in charge of this military operation also immediately gave the order, "Now start the first combat operation, target Seljuk artillery positions, you only have thirty minutes, you must destroy the opponent's artillery." Once the time is exceeded, you will be abandoned. The commander gave a callous order.

"Good luck to you!"

After saying that, the man unilaterally cut off the communication, this attack was crucial, only by stopping the bombardment of the Turkic artillery could the fact that the Trabizon side was suppressed by fire, so that the turrets on the city wall could stop the advance of the Seljuk siege army.
