"Roar!"

Rounding their hands with Nordic battle axes, the fierce Slavic infantry slashed into the crowd furiously, shattering skulls and broken bones where the axes fell, even the chain mail and iron helmets carefully crafted by Persian craftsmen could not help the violent axe.

However, the heroic fanaticism of the Arabs of this era is also unparalleled, and after being hacked to death by a big axe and mutilating six or seven people, the bearded Arabs still roared violently.

Puff~

The sharp Damascus scimitar pierced the slit in the armor into the Slavic mercenary's sturdy chest, and spurted viscous blood foam along the blood trough.

Seeing the corners of the Arab sergeant's mouth spurting blood and flowing down his beard, and still smiling fiercely, even the fierce Nordic Slavic warrior couldn't help but be stunned, and the next moment, more knives stabbed at him.

With a thud, the heavy Nordic two-handed axe fell to the ground.

Standing on the fort of the city tower as high as 20 meters, Anna and the ministers watched their army retreat one after another, and had to admit that in this era, in terms of the spirit of bravery, no nation is the opponent of the Arabs who have been instilled with the spirit of Islam, even if it is attacked from three sides, even if it occupies a favorable position, the most elite Constantinople Gothic Guard, the Slavic Guard have been defeated and retreated, from a large and a small gap in the collapse of the tunnel, the rushing Arabs are unstoppable, and now the Byzantine infantry formation has been pressed back more than 100 steps, A third of the defect seems to be about to collapse at any moment.

"Your Majesty, let's retreat quickly, the Gothic guards will also retreat in a while, and it will be too late to leave." Amu Lie was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, and the sweat even wet a large part of the purple robe of the Senate, and he shook his hands sincerely and said to Anna: "The Tang people have a saying, stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood!"

"Your Majesty, the Imperial Palladies are ready to open a way for Your Majesty, please give your Majesty's order!" Montreal, the commander of the Imperial Cavalry, also knelt on one knee and sincerely pleaded for his life.

Leonti was more direct, and shouted directly to the royal guards guarding beside him: "Why don't you go to the Golden Horn to prepare a ship for Your Majesty?"

Seeing that the Praetorian guards turned around and were about to squeeze out the defenders of Constantinople, the citizen soldier who were still fighting with the enemy in front and rear on the city walls, to prepare a back road for herself, her eyebrows raised, Anna suddenly shouted sharply: "Stand up to Ben Caesar!"

On the city tower, everyone was silenced by this voice, including the panicked patriarchs.

"Who are we?"

At present, almost 10,000 Arab warriors have entered Constantinople, clearing the ruins of the city walls and killing the Byzantine defenders on the other hand, although the more than 20,000 Constantinople militias recruited these days have all been pulled into the lanes of the city walls to defend, but the citizens of New Rome, who are accustomed to peaceful life, are simply no match for the Arabs who have been fighting each other in the desert for centuries and have been instilled with a unified idea by Islam.

There were Byzantine corpses everywhere, the flames were burning in the beautiful streets of Constantinople, and the rout seemed to the dozens of senators who followed Anna only a matter of time, and at this time, Anna asked such inconsequential words.

This young empress can't be crazy, right? This is not impossible, there are many mad emperors in Rome.

Under the stunned gaze of the patriarchs, Anna's beautiful eyes drooped slightly, and a different kind of pride rippled on Anna's delicate face, and she groaned reservedly, and Anna gave the answer.

"We are Romans!"

"We are the Romans on the Tiber River, with a small city and a wide city, who ruled the whole world, and defeated countless barbarian Romans!"

"Augustus is the title of the chief senator of Rome, a thousand years ago, our ancestors, a hundred old and weak Roman senators, in the face of the murderous butcher's knife of the Gauls, but with a thin body calmly and peacefully defended the dignity of Rome, today, as the supreme senator present, Ben Caesar also has to defend the last dignity of Rome like the sages, and if he can't keep our new Rome, Ben Caesar will die at the head of the city of New Rome!"

"My colleagues, if you want to go, go away, may you be safe and peaceful, and leave it to me to keep the last glory of Rome, Ben Caesar believes, the purple robe is the most beautiful shroud, goodbye."

After saying this, Anna once again turned around and stood on the edge of the towering tower, her thin body but proudly looking around the huge battlefield like a goddess, staring blankly at Anna's Mediterranean purple robe skirt fluttering in the wind, and all the patriarchs, including Leonti, were stunned.

The rise of Rome was not without its challenges, and the one Anna said was the most dangerous of the Roman Republic, when the Gauls from the southern Alps broke through the city and nearly destroyed the new republic.

On the eve of the destruction of the city, most of the Romans were evacuated, but there were a hundred senators of the Senate who refused to leave anything, and for them, they were the supreme decision-makers of the city of Rome, and they should have lived and died with the city of Rome, and under the seven hills of Rome, in the sacred central square, these Roman senators refused the persuasion of the Gauls and sacrificed Rome with their own blood.

After that, despite the disaster of the broken city, Rome came out of the ruins more vigorously, not only defeated the once humiliating southern Gaul, but also included all the Gauls lands under its own hands, established a vast empire across Europe, Asia and Africa, and included the Mediterranean Sea as its own inland lake.

Yes, once upon a time, when did the Romans, who were synonymous with justice, devotion, and fearlessness, become the embodiment of depravity, extravagance, silveriness, vileness and selfishness?

"Lao Tzu is really crazy."

Muttering a word, writhing his fat body, Leonti no longer had the panic just now, and calmly walked to Anna's side.

Amurlie naturally refused to be left behind, and the actions of the two of them asked the rest of the elders to look at me, and I to look at you.

After all, there were still those who turned to go downstairs, and the eighteen senators, covered their heads, squeezed away the city soldiers who were still desperately throwing stones and arrows at the head of the city under the protection of the Gothic guards, and fled from the city walls, while the rest of the people were full of solemnity, and even brought a trace of peace, and gathered around Anna.

The emperor's banner was still firmly standing on the city, and the emperor's own thin figure was also faintly visible, unknowingly, injecting a shot in the arm into the depressed defenders of Constantinople.

On this day, the sunset glow seems to go very slowly.

Under the oblique blood-red sun, the city that has endured the ordeal is resisting to the death.

More and more Arabs poured into Constantinople, large sections of the walls fell, and large sections of the city walls fell, and large numbers of defenders were killed in their positions, and the thick blood even turned into streams, blocking the drainage ditches on the walls.

After half an hour of fierce fighting, the Goths, Slavs, and various Byzantine mercenary guards finally collapsed, and one by one the trained European warriors threw away their armor and fled in a hurry, leaving behind their once loyal oaths, anyway, in their opinion, they had done their best, worthy of the trust of the royal family.

At this time, the fierce battles on the city walls and streets were indeed those temporarily conscripted city soldiers, and more than half of the 30,000 city soldiers were killed and wounded, but they still accompanied the imperial banner to fight hard one by one, fighting bloodily even if the sword passed through the chest and shed the last drop of blood.

Because, the emperor kept her promise and stuck to the city wall, because this is their last home.

Guarding in the city walls and fortresses, blocking the doors, the Byzantines fought without giving an inch of land, so that the corpses blocked the doors, on the streets, even many Constantinople residents were mobilized, holding rudimentary weapons, and the Arabs who broke in were playing a desperate game, even the brave and warlike Arabs had to admit that the attack became difficult, killed the people in front of them, and there were those who were not afraid of death behind them, and burned the houses in front of them, and the next moment more enemies appeared in the houses against themselves.

One thousand units after another, cavalry, infantry, poured into the city, only to be surrounded by inexplicable enemies and bogged down in bitter battles.

The sun is sinking more and more westward, and under the increasingly strong slanting sun, seeing half of the city billowing black smoke, Muawiya, who has been commanding the battle in the front army, is also becoming more and more impatient, the city besieged by the Arabs in the past, surrendered without a fight in a few months, and enshrined its fate in his own hands, even if it was a small setback in this western expedition Ankara, it collapsed after the city wall was breached.

But in front of the city, more than 30,000 Arab warriors killed it, but the resistance continued, even if half of the city turned into a sea of fire, holding the sword and hesitating, Muawiya finally waved his hand helplessly: "Come, go and tell the stubborn Byzantine girl, tell her that the order to stop resisting, the caliphate will pardon their people, the Christian cathedral and the senate in the city can be kept, the caliph will crown her king of Rome, if you resist again, Allah's warriors will not leave any longer, I'll slaughter the whole city to ruins! ”

After receiving the order, the Saracen secretary, who also belonged to the nobles of the Sassanid Dynasty, the castrated scribe hurriedly galloped out on horseback, looking at the galloping horses, even the brains of the Umayyad family, the Egyptian governor Amur had a feeling of relief, I don't know why, looking at this city that should have been captured, Amur always had a feeling of horror, now that the conditions of the caliphate are so relaxed, the stubborn Byzantines should have surrendered.

"The Byzantine co-emperor, my caliph has an order!"

Fluent in Greek, standing under a city full of arms, the Persian scribe shouted with all his might, but unfortunately, the Greek he had carefully learned was now cast to the blind man, and a pair of beautiful brown eyes looked to the northwest, and Anna's full attention was always on the mountains far to the northwest.

It's time to come! Constantinople can't hold it anymore!

I don't know how many times Anna called, coldly, her eyes that seemed to have turned into a Greek statue jumped suddenly, and at the same time, on the ridge where the sun was shining and had become blurred, a vigorous shadow suddenly jumped and appeared there!
