The Battle of Lake Tiberias ended with a complete victory for the Saracens, and the battle was more than a victory, in which the Saracens succeeded in annihilating the main Templar force in Jerusalem and reducing the Jerusalem garrison to a minimum.

At present, there is no garrison in Jerusalem other than the Knights of Jerusalem. It can be said that by this time, the defense of Jerusalem had been reduced to an all-time low. With the forces of the Izaracians, it was only a matter of time before Jerusalem was captured, and there would be no more suspense.

While cleaning up the battlefield, Saladin received Li Mu as a commander, "You are a true warrior, I believe you are a warrior sent by the gods to help us, although I do not approve of your killing of a king, but I hope that you can be the first to ascend to Jerusalem and help us open the door to victory." ”

"As you wish, sir." Li Mu bowed and saluted.

Four days later, in the evening.

"My lord, Jerusalem is ahead." Zaire pointed to the dark city in front of him and said to Saladin.

"Set up the trebuchet and conduct a test shot. Tomorrow morning we will officially attack the city. Saladin looked at Jerusalem in the distance immersed in night, and how could he not be thrilled that the Holy Land, which had been lost for centuries, was finally being restored in his hands.

"My lord, I suggest that tomorrow when the city is sieged, use all the catapults to attack the position that used to be Chrisman." At this time, Li Mu walked over and pointed to the position of the two moon arc lintels on the city wall in the distance and said. "I've seen the structure there, it's weaker than the normal city wall, as long as we concentrate catapults to bombard, we can collapse the wall, and then we can use the siege tower and the gap in the wall to attack together, and we will definitely be able to take Jerusalem in one battle."

"My lord, the Knights of Jerusalem have withdrawn to Cyprus, and there are only a few ordinary citizens left in the city, and I think we can defeat each other even if we don't attack the city walls." At this time, a general next to him put forward a different opinion, "Moreover, we have to renovate the city wall after the war, which is too troublesome." ”

"Although there are only the people left in the city, their will to survive is also very strong, and do not forget that when Jerusalem was captured, the Crusaders slaughtered all the Saracens, and they will fight to the death to avoid our retaliation. Moreover, if you look at the banner, the lord of the city should be Baron Balian, although this person is not a high rank, but he is very charismatic, can mobilize all the people in his city in a very short time, and he is also an excellent blacksmith, who can build many machines to defend the city, which will cause us a lot of losses. Not to be outdone, Li Mu explained.

"These sacrifices are glorious in order to retake the Holy City, and I don't think that one person will be able to put up a strong defense in just a few days." Not to be outdone, the general argued.

"This sacrifice is meaningless, and if there is a better way, why not reduce it? Wouldn't it be better for these people to do something more meaningful? And, believe it or not, the Balian has already set up defenses, and that's the proof. As he spoke, Li Mu handed a stone smeared with white paint in front of Saladin.

"What is this?" Saladin looked at the stone in his hand suspiciously.

"A reference object used to mark distances. There were many of these things at a distance of hundred, two, or three hundred meters from the city walls, and these things allowed their trebuchets to hit more accurately. Make their bows and arrows more efficient. Li Mu pointed to the top of the city tower as he spoke, "If you are willing to walk in and have a look, you should be able to see the heavy crossbows on the city tower." This kind of thing is a powerful weapon for destroying siege towers. Do you have to use your brother's life to prove your opponent's determination to defend the city? Don't forget, this is not only the holy city of the Saracens, but also theirs. They dare to burn it down if necessary, and to be on the safe side, we need to take Jerusalem in the shortest possible time and not give them any chance. ”

Perhaps Li Mu's last words played a role. Saladin handed the stone in his hand to the man beside him, "Tell me to collect all these stones, and the catapult will prepare the rolling stones overnight, and I will see the collapsed walls when I attack the city early tomorrow morning." ”

"Yes, sir." Many generals were ordered to leave.

Just as Li Mu was about to turn around and leave, Saladin unexpectedly stopped him.

"I don't know where your skills come from, and I don't know why you want to help us recover the Holy City, but as long as you help us successfully capture the Holy City, I can give it to you, whether it is wealth, beauty, or territory." Saladin stared at Li Mu with burning eyes.

"I'm sorry sir, but I have no interest in these mortal riches." Li Mu said lightly, "If I can, I hope to get something special." ”

"Something special?" Saladin thought for a moment, "When I was in Egypt, I once acquired a necklace made of fangs, which is said to come from an ancient tribe, and only the bravest warriors of the tribe had the right to wear it, and each warrior would string the teeth of the first prey he hunted to the necklace. And wearing this necklace seems to give you extraordinary power. I think this thing will fit your requirements. ”

"Thank you, my lord, tomorrow I will be the first to climb the castle tower and open the way for you to march." Li Mu bowed, and then retreated. He had no worries about Saladin's debts. Because, in this world, he has a hundred ways to get his rewards back.

The next morning, when the sky was just white, smoke rose from the Saracen camp. As soon as the sun was rising over the horizon, the Saracen army was arrayed outside Jerusalem, with a dozen huge siege towers lined up in the middle of the array, and countless soldiers armed with scimitars and shields lined up at the front of the array. Used to defend against the projectile of enemy bows and arrows. The trebuchets were loaded with cobblestone, angled, and ready to attack.

A loud and long chant sounded, and all the Saracens knelt down and prayed in the direction of the Holy Land.

The citizens on the towers, who had just taken up arms, began to carry supplies to the towers under the guidance of a small number of crusaders. A series of things such as boiling water, arrows, and golden soup were transported to the castle tower, and a great war was about to break out.
