After leaving the Pagu Mansion, David Mo began to intensively investigate the defense of the city of Iraq. Julian didn't know where he learned that David Mo was going to fight in person, and he vaguely felt that it was an opportunity, so he went directly to David Mo and offered to go with him.

After arranging for Moknash and Tielebi to take care of the city defense, he led a battalion of troops, a total of more than 1,200 people, to rush to the city of Istanbul together.

The city of Istanbul is not as majestic as the city of Gleben, it is only a medium-sized city, and it is not at all ranked among the many great cities of the empire.

But its geographical location is extremely advantageous for the Holy Empire, like a nail, stuck in the feet of the Roman Empire!

The reason why Machalici could not hold on for too long at the beginning also included the factor of the size of the city, because it was destined to not accommodate hundreds of thousands of troops to defend, so in the face of the powerful offensive of the Romans, it quickly fell.

Two hundred zhang away from the city, more than a thousand Holy Empire Royal Forbidden Army lined up against each other, after a period of rest, the soldiers' spirits were already extremely strong, one by one with their heads held high, all quietly waiting for David Mo's military orders.

Seeing the dust outside the city, the Roman army in Istanbul City couldn't see how many men and horses had come in a short time, so they hurriedly ordered the city gate to be closed, and the city was instantly busy.

The giant crossbow turned, the magically blessed crossbow bolts were ready, the rolling stones and giant trees were lined up, the hot oil pot was ignited instantly, and after a short time, everything was ready.

David Mo slightly clenched the reins of the horse with his left hand, looked at the city of Istanbul from afar, and had mixed feelings in his heart for a while, and after a deep groan, he finally said slowly to Julian beside him: "The attack distance of the magic crossbow is one hundred zhang, we can go forward another fifty zhang, explore around the city of Istanbul, and try not to have conflicts." ”

These more than 1,000 soldiers are all under the command of David Mo, and Julian dare to have other doubts, he only needs to have a general understanding of it in recent days, but he does not dare to think that he can take this city.

"Everything depends on the orders of Commander Mo, and when the time comes, I will give the emperor a fold, and I must praise Captain Mo's profound righteousness!"

When David Mo heard Julian's words, he didn't say anything modest, and turned his head and shouted: "All the soldiers, swim with my banner!"

When thousands of soldiers heard his words, they shouted in a loud order: "I am willing to die for the general! But if there is any omission, I am willing to deal with it according to military law!"

David Mo laughed, tightened the reins of the horse in his hand, the war horse was slightly painful, and his limbs ran together, and everyone behind him followed, no one dared to hesitate!

The horses galloped endlessly, the dust was flying, the horn was blowing, and the fighting spirit was high, and the place where the thousand horsemen passed was unstoppable. When the Roman troops in the city saw this, they all felt frightened, and no one could muster the courage to go out of the city to meet the battle.

Some nervous crossbowmen accidentally pulled the trigger, and the magically blessed crossbow arrows flew out in an instant, but unfortunately the distance was too far to cause any lethality at all, attracting a burst of scolding from the surrounding officers.

The head of the mage regiment, Lucas, has been guarding the city wall, and now looking at the mighty Divine Emperor ** team outside the city, he frowned slightly, and said with some doubts: "What does the army of the Holy Empire want to do?

He looked intently, and he had already roughly seen the number of troops of the Holy Empire, and even found the name fluttering on a handsome banner - Mo David!

Krevich, who was standing beside him, shook his head, his eyes showed a light of thought, and said lightly: "The people of the Holy Empire are not so stupid, they are arrogant, but they will not be untargeted......"

After a moment of silence, he continued: "I suspect that there must be ambush soldiers in the distance, he is deliberately trying to lure us out of the city to fight, after all, they can't afford to lose the casualties of the siege. ”

Lucas nodded, agreeing with Krievic's point of view, and hesitated slightly: "Then we can't hold out and let the army of the Holy Empire gallop in the wilderness?"

There was another person behind the two of them, but it was selectively ignored by the two of them, and that person was Togro. Ever since he was defeated and fled by David Mo, he has been discriminated against in the army for not fighting to the death.

After listening to the conversation between the two of them, Toguro kept sneering in his heart, feeling that the two of them were not self-sufficient, and with the morale of the Roman army now, if they were to fight in the plains, they would definitely collapse at the touch of a button.

But he didn't speak, and now everyone looks down on him, and no one will listen to him, and he won't be humiliated if he doesn't speak.

Krevich tapped his fingers lightly on the city wall, looked at the Holy Empire Forbidden Army, which was small in number but powerful outside, and said lightly: "It's not okay to let them mess around, we have already suffered defeat in Gerben, if we let them go so rampant again, I am afraid that we will not be able to ......explain to the imperial court in the future."

He glanced at most of the frightened warriors around him, and the corners of his mouth were slightly bitter, the crushing defeat of Gerben that night was so heavy that most people could not come out of the shadows until now.

After a slight pause, he continued: "Don't launch the giant crossbow for the time being, let your mage group release some magic, although we don't go out of the city, we also have to make some movements!"

Lucas knew what Krivich meant, the crossbow arrows of the magic crossbow were all blessed by the ** master above the gold level, and the relative cost was relatively high. Using the Mage Corps to cast spells will have no effect on the city's defenses.

So at that moment, he accepted Krievich's advice, and personally ran between the various city gates, informing the magicians everywhere to create some disturbances.

When Lucas left, Krievic's eyes were a little complicated, and he suddenly turned around, looked at Toguro, who had not made a sound, and said with a light smile: "Toguero, what do you think of this army outside the city." ”

His tone was very casual and understatement, as if he regarded Toguro as his subordinate, and it was not surprising that Lucas was the only rival in Istanbul now.

Toguero resisted the anger in his heart, and on the night he collected the remnants of his army, most of his troops were absorbed by Krivic, and now his strength was greatly damaged, and he had no strength to resist.

His face was a little pale, and he said in a deep voice: "That Mo David is brave and strategic, and he will definitely not get dizzy, your analysis is very reasonable, and it can be regarded as perfect." ”

Krievich was not at all impressed when he saw his iron face, and now Sariev was in a coma due to serious injuries and had been sent to the territory of the Roman Empire for treatment. If the war continued, he believed that he would be the right choice for division commander, and that sooner or later Toguro would become his subordinate.

"Toguero, no matter what, I don't blame you, the old duke's death has nothing to do with you. Krivic paced back and forth, slightly sad at the mention of Brookridge, who was his life mentor after all.

Toguero's eyes flashed with hatred, he was extremely disgusted with Krivic's hypocrisy, but now was not the time to turn his face.

"Thank you for your understanding...... In my toughest times, you were the ones who gave me moral support. His face pretended to be moved, and he touched his chest with his right hand very respectfully.

His life in the Seventh Division has not been easy all the time, and Brookridge's preference for Krivich can be seen even by the blind, and the kung fu of forbearance has almost become a compulsory course for him.

Krivich patted him on the shoulder, a smile appeared in his eyes, he didn't bother to care whether Toguro's gratitude was true or not, he only needed to defend the city of Istanbul, and no one could shake his position.

......

At this time, the Holy Empire's royal forbidden army outside the city noticed a strange scene, many fireballs flew from the head of the city of Istanbul, and the range was only about 20 zhang, although these attacks were useless at all, but the Roman army was still desperately unleashing!

Seeing this, David Mo immediately shouted: "Soldiers, these pale and feeble attacks are like fireworks to welcome us!"

The surrounding cavalry let out a loud laugh, expressing their disdain for the Roman army. He laughed twice and then shouted, "Poor Romans!

With his shouts, the cavalry brigade was getting closer and closer to the city of Istanbul, and it was already approaching a distance of one hundred and thirty zhang!

At this time, the distance can already clearly see the appearance of the two sides, the enemy is very red when they meet, Mo David is wearing a black battle suit, his face is extremely cold, and he roared violently: "Rat boy, who dares to come down to fight with me!"

Thousands of war horses galloped, and there was a flying sand and rocks around them, and after the dust fell, the entire Istanbul city was silent, because everyone saw it clearly, and the person who spoke was the invincible David Mo!

After half a sound was silent, the royal forbidden army could no longer bear it, thinking of Kubli's death in battle, one by one's eyes were red, and their mouths shouted: "Dare to fight! Dare to fight!"

Outside the city of Istanbul instantly shouted to the sky, a killing intent suddenly appeared, David Mo took the lead, there was an extra nine-foot silver gun in his hand, and the three layers of golden fighting spirit on his body unfolded, and the horizontal spear was immediately majestic, and the entire Istanbul City was eclipsed!

After seeing the light of the fighting spirit on his body, Julian beside him was shocked in his heart, he had just gone through the baptism of war, and this Mo David had already broken through to the third level of gold!

His vision was extremely complicated, and he sighed from the bottom of his heart: The so-called pride of heaven is probably nothing more than this!

Compared to his shock, the Roman army in the city of Istanbul was already shocked, because they clearly remembered that on the battlefield of Gelben five days ago, this Mo David was still a golden one!

Krivic's eyes showed a deep sense of incredibleness, it was impossible to leapfrog the gold level, but in David Mo's body, he actually broke this natural rule!

He couldn't help but mutter, "I can't think of anyone who can stop him now......" And behind him, Toguro was already dumbfounded, unable to say a word at all!
