Scurry ordered the Sultan's soldiers to place a volley of bullets on the walls, and catapults threw a cloud of dust and smoke on the walls. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

However, the infantry did not charge the siege of the city, nor did they rush the vehicles, and the distance from which the Turks launched the attack was too far, so such an attack could not cause any casualties.

Only two Byzantine soldiers and five militiamen were killed, and a dozen others were slightly wounded.

Such an approach is not so much a siege as a show off.

The goal of striking down on the Byzantines and humiliating the face of the Byzantines has been achieved.

Even if Marquis Ditian Lucian, one of the nine elders, rushed into the battle of the Turkic Alliance and killed his captured wife before, it could not change the fact that Constantine XV's favorite cousin, Tszel Constantine, was trained by the Seljuks to be a well-behaved slave girl.

In addition to Scurry's second son, Bayezette, in just seven days, dozens of middle- and lower-ranking officers have enjoyed Qingshi's graceful and graceful body, and of course, her maid Ling'er is also the same.

And Qingshi, who wanted to save her life, soon chose to try her best to please her, but in the end she couldn't escape her husband's poisonous hands.

All this will gradually be understood by the Byzantines, and it will become a rumor on the streets.

So Scurry let the military band blow the trumpets of pleasure, and let the soldiers return to the camp and continue the siege in grace, leaving only Constantine XV and a group of Byzantine ministers and famous generals with blue faces.

And in the following days, there was no doubt that people in Constantinople were fluctuating and rumors were spreading.

......

"The enemy's mole has finally been launched. For such a troublesome situation, Prime Minister Lan Jing, the head of the investigation, sighed.

The fall of Wengcheng this time and the capture of Mrs. Qingshi are definitely not accidents.

Rather, it was Scurry's elaborate arrangement to strike at the Byzantine popularity.

"Have you found any clues?" Wu Feng asked.

"Finally, it may involve the five important ministers. Nepton Yao sighed: "Fengshen is very suspicious, because he obviously can't rescue in time, otherwise he can at least save Lady Qingshi, instead of arriving slowly after Lady Qingshi was captured and recapturing the Urn City." ”

"But Scurry launched an onslaught from another position at the time, delaying him for a while. We can't tell if it's acting or if it's really holding him back. ”

"This old dog ......" Nepton Yao said: "Uncle, if we are not sure that there is a problem with the Marquis of the Wind God, we can't report it to Your Majesty, otherwise we may offend the entire military......"

"I noticed another problem. Wu Feng opened his mouth and said, "I heard Miss Moon Tong Ingres mention that Master Cayde seems to be dissatisfied with the lack of secular power of the Orthodox Church?"

"This ......" Blue Crystal hesitated for a moment.

Then he sighed: "Yes, among our five important ministers, Patriarch Kaide has always had a problem with His Majesty. ”

"Her Royal Highness Audella has always maintained that the Orthodox Church does not need to acquire too much secular power, and that she is a moderate among the popes. Nepton said regretfully: "It's a pity that such a beauty was destroyed by Bayezett's hot hand......"

Wu Feng finally spoke calmly: "I noticed a problem. ”

"There were still a number of Orthodox priests in the breached urn city, but they quickly flew over the gates and fled into the city, but Lady Qingshi was captured because she was suppressed by the archers of the Turkic League. ”

In other words, the elite archers of the Turkic Alliance did not attack these clerics much, and the healing power of the clerics was actually important on the battlefield. ”

Nepton said: "This can also be explained that Lady Qingshi is their first target. ”

"That's right. However, in this battle, our side lost a lot of soldiers, and only a few priests were killed or wounded, which is doubtful. ”

Wu Feng continued: "If the head of the snake is the patriarch of Cade, and he wants to expand the secular power of the Orthodox Church through Scurry, then Scurry will definitely cooperate with him to frame the wind god. ”

"When Miss Audella was shot dead by Bayesset, Patriarch Cayde seemed to be not far away. He should have been able to come to the rescue. Although Miss Audella is not a high level of cultivation, she is a saint with a grand influence, representing the moderate faction within the Orthodox Church, and Patriarch Cayde has a great suspicion of not saving ......"

With Audella's beauty and status as a saint, there were a large number of admirers in Byzantium, and her influence could not be judged only by the strength of her cultivation and the direct subordinates.

Lan Jing was taken aback, and then said, "Not bad." ”

"The Seljuks were the result of the westward migration of the Turkic people of the eastern steppes and the mixing of the native peoples of Anatolia. What they really worship is the so-called immortality, and they don't really believe in the teachings left by the Arabs, and the reason why they pretend to believe is only for the sake of domination...... In other words, after the elimination of Byzantium, allowing the continuation of Orthodoxy, and even expanding the secular power of Orthodoxy, is acceptable for Scuri. ”

"It is quite possible that the Orthodox Church wishes to have a papal state, like the primitive Crucidianism, and not to be dependent on our Byzantium, trapped in the tiny Constantinople as our instrument of rule," added Nepton-Yao. ”

If you explain it this way, it makes perfect sense. There are Orthodox fanatics in the army, and although they are not enough to sacrifice a city, they can definitely do something to an urn city.

Lan Jing said wistfully, "If Patriarch Kaide is really a snakehead, then it's really troublesome." The collapse of religious faith will be fatal for the people......"

Nepton Yao comforted: "Uncle, don't worry, the death of the Holy Maiden Audella does not mean that there are no moderates in the Orthodox Church. If it is really Patriarch Kade, then launch a surprise attack, control him and his henchmen, and claim that the Patriarch has a slight problem with his cultivation, so as to transfer the power of religion to the moderates. Wait until the siege of the city is lifted, and then deal with it slowly......"

Aquamarine smiled, "That's a great idea. ”

Wu Feng interjected on the side: "But first of all, we must make sure that the head of the snake is really Lord Cade. As it stands, any unnecessary internal friction is fatal for Byzantium. ”

Azurite nodded.

"From the very beginning, Your Majesty and I have been wary of Patriarch Cayde, and in the Orthodox Church, we are not without eyeliners, so it will be easier to investigate......"

"In that case, it's for the best, Lord Azurite. Wu Feng responded.

Now it seems that Cade's suspicion is indeed not small.

Religious people colluding with foreign enemies because their religious interests are not guaranteed not only happened in the Western Desert, but also in the Middle Earth and Southern Wilderness, and the extremist forces of Buddhism and Brahmanism often committed it.

After all, Buddhism and Brahmanism are divided into many factions, and these factions often regard other factions as heretics with each other.

In the West, perhaps, the situation is even more acute.

However, Wu Feng always had a hidden worry in his heart, and he was unstable.

After all, Scurry is a generation of military gods, and his layout is terrifying, and he has seen a lot of them these days.

Against him, you have to think more and more about everything.

Does the head of the snake really have to exist among the five important ministers or the nine elders? Will there be a problem with one's own judgment?

The matter of Mengqiwu has already made Wu Feng unhappy, and the current Junbao has made Wu Feng feel in danger.

This time, he really wasn't that confident. (To be continued.) )
