Looking at the map in his hand, the terrain is high, the distribution of buildings, etc., and even the characters and forces in the building are marked on the paper, and the big nobles or forces are specially marked, which makes it clear at a glance, Skanderbeg's smile can no longer be suppressed,

"With this map, we have more room to manoeuvre!"

"Yes! With this map, we can grab more coins! ”

Skanderbeg's face was full of black lines, and Harris, realizing that there was something wrong with what he said, smiled wryly, and shut up and stopped talking.

"Michal arranged the troops at the West Gate, we have agreed, it will be dark outside the city to light a fire from the city gate as a signal, the main enemy in the city, the Janissaries Legion in this so-called Mustafa Mosque, Harris, after entering the city, you directly lead people here, control these people first,"

One stadi is about 185 meters, which is the Byzantine unit of measurement,

"After controlling the enemy, with the Mustafa Mosque as the center, we will start to clear and control the surrounding enemies, and get in touch with the Christian nobles in the city as soon as possible, invite them to join us, you can make a proper promise, you must be fast!"

"Don't worry! I will defend the glory of the empire with my blood! ”

Harris was colored, but soon showed his original form,

"And, of course, our... The property of the Empire. ”

Until now, Skanderbeg doesn't want to say anything, human nature is different, human behavior is different, he only needs the result, no matter how beautiful the process is, if the result is very bad, it is not perfect, and the military imperfection represents death.

"Well, rest in place and wait for the evening, the judgment of the Lord is coming!"

After a pause, Skanderbeg said,

"From the Bible and the Book of Revelation."

"Hahaha~"

Harris burst out laughing mercilessly,

"Come on, Skanderbeg, you don't learn like you at all, if the Knower speaks like a skilled master, then you are like a crappy apprentice next to the master..."

As he spoke, Harris imitated a few words decently,

"'From the Bible, Revelation', you're afraid you know that, right?!"

"Bastard, if you were my general, you would be beaten by me."

Skanderbeg held out a finger and shook it up and down and nodded Harris.

"Ah, thank the Lord Almighty, for not putting me under you, from Harris."

Skanderbeg pushed Harris and stopped the other party's ridicule, such jokes are sometimes in the army, and generally no one cares, but it is a good way to deepen the relationship, anyway, the only task now is to wait, wait until it gets dark.

"My soldiers, polish your weapons, don't take off your armor, and be ready to attack at any time!"

Shouting to the rear, the soldiers began to gather in twos and threes, resting and talking, as long as the noise was not too loud, and this was allowed during the break.

This is the case in the army, eating cold dry food, the empire has tried its best to ensure the supply of the front-line army, they eat pure wheat bread, that is, black bread, they are on the front, everyone has received enough food, and some of the troops in the rear, pure black bread is less, sometimes it is mixed with some other things in it, many people will join the army because they can't afford to eat, these ordinary small peasant soldiers who have lost their land have a large proportion in the army, Fortunately, the firing operation of the musket is not complicated, in today's Roman army, the proportion of muskets has reached two people and one musket, as long as one person operates the arquebus, compared with the previous musket has too many advantages, so that one person can hold a gun, one person holds an ordinary weapon for cover, to avoid the other party directly rushing to the front and unable to resist for a while.

And the small peasant soldiers who lost their land, the reasons for their loss of land are complex, and the biggest part of the reason is their own artificial land abandonment.

Then why did this group of soldiers give up the land on their own, why they were unwilling to continue farming, this is to talk about the local tax system of the Roman Empire, according to the Roman Empire, the amount of land in a village is fixed, if there is land abandoned, then the tax burden of other people will increase, this number may change every three years, because the empire measures the land every three years,

But since Manuel II, the areas under its control have shrunk dramatically, the rural economy has collapsed, and the Byzantine government, which relies on industrial and commercial taxes in several cities to support the economy, is already on the verge of collapse.

After Constantine acquired the Balkans, in some areas he had begun to re-measure the land, and he had moved people from the vassal states of Serbia, Wallachia and other regions to enrich the land, and there were many people in these places, and during this period, the entire Balkans had a population of eight million, so Wallachia and Serbia were not wild places.

As for the tax package system promulgated by the Komnens Dynasty, it is no longer in line with the development of the current empire, and was naturally abolished by Constantine XI, when the empire's control over the countryside or some areas declined, and out of desperation, the tax package system was adopted, which was the same as the Russian Tsardom, and Russia adopted the tax package system in Siberia because it was too difficult to receive taxes, so it simply sold the right to collect taxes.

……

While waiting, night crept in, an army marched under the dark, and the Europeans ate more fish, so there were fewer soldiers with night blindness, especially under the careful selection of Skanderbeg, and marching at night was not a problem for this army.

"Ready... Ignition! ”

Arriving at the destination, after a while, seeing that there was no movement in the city, Skanderbeg asked people to light torches, hold them high and shake them, and so on three times, and the same signal came from the city, and Skanderbeg and Harris looked at each other,

"One last confirmation, your first target is the Mustafa Mosque, don't run around after entering the city, remember?"

"Don't worry! Vikings don't fail! ”

Harris was the first to run towards the slowly opening gates, with his three hundred Varangian guards, who were simply demons in the light of the fire.

"After entering the city, Marco Burki went to the weapons warehouse, Henry Poole went to the grain warehouse, Antonio Severondi went to the marked points and set fires, remember, don't engage the enemy, only throw gunpowder, rockets, etc. into the enemy's garden, be sure to let the enemy not know our reality, Kylo Ren with fifty men to guard the door, each remember the arrangement, okay, act now!"

After saying this, Skanderbeg jumped to his feet, drew the sword given by Constantine, and shouted,

"The empire rises and falls, fight here! Kill!!! ”

Following Harris's pace, Skanderbeg was not only charging, but also calculating in his heart, Michal said that there were more than 1,000 defenders in the city, minus more than 200 Michal, only about 800, not to mention, since the guards were Michal's people, the enemy's 800 people were leaderless, and it should not be difficult to control the situation.

Over there, Harris ran wildly and finally came to the Mustafa Mosque, and it was obvious that the sudden footsteps had alarmed the Janissaries in the mosque,

"Who?"

The soldier guarding the door was keenly aware of Harris's presence, and due to his appearance around the corner, the Janissaries soldier did not see Harris following him.

Although it seems that Harris is alone, the soldier did not let his guard down, he already faintly felt that something was wrong, when Ankara was used as a logistics base, Ankara had already implemented a curfew system, and no one was allowed to wander around the city at night.

Thinking of this, the soldier exclaimed,

"Enemy attack! Uh-huh..."

As soon as he spoke, the soldier was thrown to the ground, and he struggled to see the person who had fallen him, and was relieved to find that it was his teammates,

"Hey, I didn't hit! Elou Adams, your hand axe skills don't look great either! ”

Harris stroked his beard and laughed, and the man named Adams smiled bitterly, took out a hand axe from his waist again, and threw it out with a snort, but was blocked by the third Janissaries soldier, seeing this, Harris became interested,

"On the other side, do you dare to have a duel?"

Hearing Harris's proposal, the other party talked for a while, and a person stepped forward,

"Osman, Janissary, Ahmat, who are you?"

"Roman Empire, Varangian Guard, Harris."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ahmat burst out, holding his sword in both hands, and wanted to seal his throat with a sword.

However, Harris had already prepared, took a step back, left the opponent's attack range, and the two-handed axe fell directly, an inch long and an inch strong, seeing this scene, Ahmat could only reluctantly give up the pursuit, and instead prepared to parry the opponent's attack,

As soon as the sword and axe came into contact, Ahmat's complexion changed, Harris's strength was simply rare, and he decided not to resist hard, and followed Harris's strength, turned sideways, and slashed the sword towards Harris's handle, wanting to force Harris to return to defense,

At this time, Harris laughed, threw the two-handed axe at the other party, quickly pulled out the axe from his waist, and threw the axe over, with a muffled sound, right in the chest.

"The Janissary? But that's it! ”

Harris spat at the other party's corpse with a little disdain, and waved his hand,

"Hand axes fire! Three-stage! ”

The Varangian Guard usually places three hand axes on their bodies to supplement their attack power and prevent the two-handed axes from being unarmed, and the hand axes can also be used to throw, and a highly skilled member of the Varangian Guard has a proud hand of throwing hand axes, which is the cost of their meals.

The hand axes were fired in three rounds, and in the face of the overwhelming axes, the two Janissaries outside the door obviously did not survive, and collapsed in a pool of blood in two screams.
