Chapter 0676. Go down in flames
The Byzantine court was full of examples of royal struggles, mutinies, assassinations, coups, riots, murder of fathers for power, and husbands of wives and wives for the sake of power. [ads:This site has a new URL,Shorthand method:,.]
Byzantine conspiracy!
Anna was undoubtedly involved in such a Byzantine conspiracy, not because she was not politically savvy, but because she was not ruthless enough, she was ruthless to her father and brother, compared to her brother Constantine IV, and he also grasped a key weapon, the human heart!
In order to rescue Byzantium, Min did pay a considerable price, mobilized more than half of the main army of the country, paid nearly 100,000 casualties, and crushed the main army of the Arabs.
However, this series of vicious battles took place in the Middle East, not under the noses of the Byzantines, what they saw was completely Anna leading the Byzantine army to defeat the Arab invading army, and recovering the lost territory along the way, what they saw was that the Fujian people were sitting on their achievements to marry their own empress, and even annexed Byzantium.
In particular, the Fujian State unilaterally negotiated peace with the Arabs, and then notified Byzantium in the form of an order, and the Roman Empire issued orders as the suzerainty for thousands of years.
Anna knew the strength of the Min State and the indispensable support for the Roman army, but these elders did not know that the disagreement gave Constantine a vacancy, coupled with Anna's appeasement, Constantine's power cancer generally spread among the Byzantine army.
It must have led to Anna's current tragedy!
Abandoning the mount and dragging Anna, Li Que eagerly ran directly to the camp on both sides, and the next moment, the Bulgarian cavalry had already crashed into the Visigothic Guard heavy cavalry that was finally killed, and the frightened Visigothic Guard heavy cavalry, one by one the Turkic cavalry was killing and slashing like a wolf, and the Gothic heavy cavalry that had lost its impact could only resist in vain like a sheep.
Watch out for Simon!
Hou Jie's words seemed to echo in his ears, looking back at the Bulgarian young master who was killed with blood all over his face and slashing like a bloodthirsty maniac, Li Qiqi's teeth were crushed, and he bit his fingers and swore to the sky angrily: "Betraying my Baogar tribe, I Li Yu'er will definitely let you wait for blood debts to be repaid in my lifetime!"
Leaving behind the struggling Visigothic guards, pulling the lost Anna, along the narrow tent camp, Li Que and the others escaped all the way out of the rebels' entrenched West Camp.
It was premeditated, and at this time the entire Byzantine military camp was already in chaos, while ambushing Anna, several armies attacked the eastern camp where Anna was located at the same time, and tens of thousands of Byzantine legions wore the same armor and uniforms to fight together, and the ferocity of the civil war even exceeded the fighting with the Arab Empire.
This is like a curse given by heaven to the Romans, who have too dazzling achievements, too vast territory, too clever minds, and great power that has been consumed in internal strife again and again.
Fortunately, there are still troops loyal to Anna in the end.
"Hurry up, set up a tortoiseshell formation, shooter, counterattack! Counterattack! ”
Dressed in the silver glittering Roman general's fish scale armor, the red crown feathers on his head swaying like an angry rooster, the old general, the old mercenary Bernice hissed and roared, the neat Roman infantry array was on the border of the eastern camp, the symphony of death in one area was splashed with spears and arrows, and the Roman soldiers who rioted in other camps were thrown to the ground one after another once they approached.
"General Bernis, Your Majesty is back to the camp, open the gate quickly!"
Suddenly, a shout made the worried Bernis's eyes light up, and with his drinking order, the camp gate that had been closed suddenly opened, and hundreds of Byzantine infantry greeted him with kite-shaped shields, and in an instant, a gap in the camp gate became the main attack site of the rebels, and the rain of arrows and spears smashed on the large shields of the infantry leaving the camp, and the sound of clanging could be heard from afar.
It was really in the rain of bullets, carrying a shield hard, Li Que dragged Anna out of the corner of hiding quickly with one hand, and rushed into the center of the infantry who were looking for the camp in a row, in just a few seconds, there were still three throwing guns, more than a dozen feather arrows pierced the shield behind Li Que, the sharp tip of the spear pierced the wooden shield, and wisps of blood continued to flow down her back.
However, he didn't care about the wounds on his body at all, and as soon as he rushed into the camp, Li Que dragged the panting Anna and roared hurriedly in front of Berennis, who was hurriedly ushering, and asked eagerly: "General, what is the current situation?"
"It's not good." At the mention of the battle situation, Bernis shook his head sadly.
"The Augusta Legion, the Antioch Legion 50,000 or 60,000 people are all reversed, and the more than 10,000 people of the 1st and 2nd Legions of Constantinople in my hands will not be able to support it for long at all."
"Your Majesty, the top priority now is not to stick to the barracks!" Suddenly, nervously pressed Anna's shoulder, who was still in a panic, and the old general solemnly admonished: "Your Majesty, the old minister has prepared the horses, with the guards, you go out to the Fujian Yankuai camp as soon as possible, and when you get there, the King of Min will definitely protect you, as long as you are still there, we will not lose even if we are dead!"
It seemed that she had finally woken up from a series of blows, and shook her head heavily, Anna suddenly pressed Berennis's shoulder like a stubborn little girl, and shook her head firmly: "No, if this Caesar doesn't leave, I will die in the army, and I will die with you, I am the co-emperor of the Byzantine Empire, Caesar!" How can you abandon your own legion! ”
"Your Majesty, if you don't leave, who will avenge us!" Bernis was immediately anxious like something, this kung fu, Li Que, who had hurriedly tied up his wound, also greeted him again, grabbed Anna's shoulder and persuaded: "As long as you find His Royal Highness the King of Fujian, you can bring back the reinforcements of the Fujian Kingdom, so that you can save everyone, it is better than you staying here alone to die!"
"Reinforcements!" Anna was finally shaken.
Seeing this, Berennis anxiously pushed Anna's arm again and shouted, "Go!" Come on! ”
was finally pushed, and while following Li Que anxiously running backwards, Anna kept turning her head and waving her hand and shouting: "Wait for me, I will definitely come back with reinforcements to save you!" Wait for me! ”
More than 1,000 Turkic pro-troops were assembled, and rushed out from behind the eastern camp with fast horses, and the Roman rebels who had not yet formed a formation could not resist it at all, seeing that this guard finally fled towards the east, Berennis finally breathed a sigh of relief.
But at this time, the soldiers of the front camp suddenly shouted nervously, and then the whole earth trembled with the rumbling sound of horses' hooves, and rushed over in surprise, looking at the steel torrent that suddenly appeared on the horizon in the almost demolished camp and the double-headed eagle golden banner that was unfurled, Bernis's old eyes narrowed coldly, and a spear was grabbed by him casually.
"Soldiers of Constantinople, for the sake of Your Majesty, resist!"
In the Chinese poems, I am afraid that what the Huangbei Gu said is now, people are not machines, such a frustrating defeat, even if Li Que carefully selected the grassland elite can't help but panic, keep looking back, riding a horse galloping in the center, Qiaoli's cherry face is full of sweat, Anna bit her lip resolutely, riding on the back of the bumpy military horse and running non-stop all the time, while walking, she still cheered herself up.
"Reinforcements! Be sure to get reinforcements! ”
However, not everyone in the team was as determined as her, and while looking back, the Turkic centurion Bahel was still struggling with something, and finally, feeling sweaty, he made up his mind, turned around and glanced at the centurion Baium who was galloping in front of him, who immediately nodded knowingly and sped up the horse.
The terrain of Palestine is not so smooth, Anna and the others continue to run south along an ancient river, and the dry ancient river channel in front of Leng Buding has a big turn, and the centurion Ashina Falcon, who has been following Li Que's side, habitually leads his troops to speed up to the front of the team to investigate, Anna's side is suddenly a lot empty, and his eyes are bright, Baium secretly glanced at Bahel.
In an instant, an arrow was buckled on the bow by Bahel, and with a backhand arrow, the loyal centurion who followed Anna was caught off guard by the arrow in his forehead, and immediately screamed and fell, as if a signal, dozens of people guarding around Anna also moved together, who would have expected that the comrades-in-arms on weekdays suddenly turned their faces, and more than thirty horsemen were cut to the ground at once, and only a few people were also injured and hid aside.
Li Que's mount was also slashed on the horse's leg, the war horse wailed and fell to the side, and knocked down Anna's war horse, in Anna's exclamation, Li Que relied on his equestrian skills, barely hugged her and rolled forward, and rolled out a few meters before the strong force was discharged, and when she stood up with Anna, the suddenly rebellious Bahel and Baium had already sneered and led people to surround them.
The team suddenly stopped, and the four or five hundred Turkic pro-troops rushing from the rear gathered around in astonishment, watching this scene.
"Byeum, you dare to rebel, have you forgotten the blood oath you made to the Immortal Heaven? Aren't you afraid of divine punishment from the Immortal Heaven? The apricot eyes behind the mask were all round because of anger, and Li Que was extremely angry, yelling angrily.
Listening to Li Que's roar, the dozens of rebellious cavalrymen couldn't help but show uneasy looks on their faces, but the triumphant Baium's victorious smile became more and more intense, and he shouted back with disdain: "Uncle Ben now believes in God, what is the Immortal Heaven?"
"Brothers, our family members have been hidden in Constantinople, and now it is the world of Emperor Constantine IV, as long as these two little girls are captured back, everyone can become a noble lord!"
As soon as he thought of his family, the Turkic cavalry who had not rebelled immediately hesitated, and when he saw that his treacherous plan had succeeded, a touch of evil and adultery floated on Baium's face, full of shamelessness, and this mongrel Turkic laughed obscenely.
"Brothers, we have been oppressed by this little lady for so long, and now it is the turn of Lao Tzu to turn over, anyway, His Majesty Constantine only needs these two little girl skins to go back, nothing else, do you want to taste the taste of the Byzantine Empress and the Turkic Deputy Khan, ah?"
At the mention of this, the rest of the rebel Turks also showed evil silver smiles on their faces and surrounded them. Seeing that his subordinates were in turmoil and collapsing, more and more Turkic men were beating horses with bad intentions and surrounding him, even Li Que couldn't help but feel a little numb in his scalp, protecting Anna behind him, Li Que drew a knife in his hand, and roared angrily: "Thief dares!" Aren't you afraid of the retaliation of the Min Kingdom! ”
"Hahaha, I'm really scared!" Exaggeratedly hugging his shoulders, he raised his head and laughed loudly.
"Uncle Ben also heard another sentence, peony flowers die, and ghosts are also romantic! Brothers, it's time to open the meat, on! ”
In the evil laughter, more and more Turkic cavalry gathered around, the lying knife became tighter and tighter, Li Que's silver teeth were also gritted even more gurgling, and the Turkic cavalry roaming left and right fiercely stared at it like a wolf.
"Thief dares!"
