Battlefield of All Sides

Chapter 305 Fierce Battle

"Your Majesty, we don't even have much kerosene in the city, but we have to put it on the warship?"

"Put them all up. When the time comes, the west city wall will be able to handle the hot water and dung juice poured out."

"Dung...dung juice?"

On the east wall, Li Mu was looking at the Golden Horn where several Constantinople warships were laying hidden piles on the coast of Genoa, and said so.

The officer next to him was extremely surprised when he heard what Li Mu said. He couldn't figure out why the noble majesty would let the soldiers boil dung to fight against the enemy.

Li Mu's combat effect on golden juice is the first in the whole west.

The West regards feces as an ominous thing, and has never had the habit of composting them. Residents defecate indiscriminately every day, and feces are easily seen on all streets, and everyone avoids them.

Li Mu also didn't have time to take care of these things, and was just paying attention to the situation in the Golden Horn Bay.

Osman moved very quickly, driving a large number of slaves to build such a dry passage, and had already started a feint attack on the west wall, obviously preparing to divert the attention of everyone in Constantinople.

Gistini had been proposing to burn the passage of the Ottomans, but that was too risky. The Ottomans attached so much importance to it that they would be protected by heavy troops.

Li Mu didn't want to waste his vitality like this.

In this way, Li Mu simply changed his method. Since the Ottomans wanted to let the warships enter the Golden Horn Bay, he let those warships be burned before entering the Golden Horn Bay.

At this time, the warships were still made of wood, and the hidden stakes they had placed under the shoal would definitely be blocked when those sailboats entered the Golden Horn Bay.

At that time, let the battleship rush over with kerosene and burn all the stranded battleships.

The burned warships will block the entrance of the Ottomans' dry land passage into the Golden Horn, and then they will attack the west and try their best to burn their passage.

In this way, this can not only stop the opponent's actions, but also consume a large part of the opponent's strength, greatly relieving the pressure on the east wall.

It's just that this method requires that the opponent's ship must be able to sink when it enters the Golden Horn Bay, so that subsequent actions can be guaranteed.

So even if there were several large-scale attacks on the western city wall in the past few days, Li Mu was only watching the situation of the Golden Horn closely at the eastern city wall.

And because the Genoese gave way to the Ottomans, this matter was also fermented in the city. The citizens despised the Genoese even more, and occasionally conflicts occurred.

Li Mu handled this matter relatively gently, but drove away the Genoese. At the same time, the soldiers guarding the city wall were more vigilant against anyone who approached the city wall for no reason.

Not long after the officer who inquired about Li Mu's situation got off the city wall, Li Mu saw a figure appearing on the land opposite the Golden Horn Bay. Although he couldn't see the clothes clearly, they were most likely Ottomans.

They seemed to have looked at the Golden Horn and Constantinople from a distance, and then ran back.

Li Mu ordered several warships to speed up and prepare to meet the enemy.

The sea near that channel is already covered with dense piles of hidden piles. These things may not be able to cut through the hull, but they should easily make the ship run aground.

At that time, it depends on how your sailors set fire to the ship.

And just as swords were on the verge of breaking out in the Golden Horn Bay, the offensive on the west city wall also accelerated suddenly.

In particular, a large area of ​​the first city wall collapsed, which directly led to the collapse of the morale of the defenders.

Li Mu was also forcibly pulled over there by several officers. With Li Mu's arrival, the soldiers regrouped. Under the leadership of Gistini, they temporarily blocked the gap with stones and fought almost bloodyly. Only then did he repulse the opponent's attack.

And the Ottomans seemed to be crazy because of this success, and they reorganized their soldiers for a new round of attack almost the moment the team retreated.

When Li Mu came here, a new round of attack just started.

"The gap has been blocked with stones and sandbags, but some stones rolled into the trenches in that section of the collapsed city wall, helping those guys fill up some trenches!"

Gistini wiped the blood stains on his face, looked outside anxiously, and said to Li Mu.

"Li Mu also looked outside, and saw that the collapsed city wall created a slope. At this moment, almost all the Ottomans were gathering there."

"Withdraw the light infantry, put archers on all the walls on both sides of the city and the city wall behind, organize the people, pile rocks and sandbags on both sides of the gap, and block off that area!"

Li Mu immediately gave his own solution.

That section of the city wall can no longer be piled up, and it is bound to become the focus of the Ottoman army's attack.

Blindly refueling tactics is not a good thing for Constantinople, Li Mu simply gave up that section of the city wall, and let the soldiers and the people pile up a urn there.

In this way, the Ottoman soldiers who entered it would have to withstand attacks from three sides, and they would definitely be able to kill and injure the opponent in large numbers.

When Gistini heard Li Mu's plan, he immediately nodded, rallied his troops, and ordered the soldiers to block the attack while ordering the people to block the city wall and establish a blockade area.

Li Mu stood on the third city wall and watched the scene outside. At this moment, the battle on the west city wall was not optimistic.

Although the cannons of the Ottomans were damaged a lot before, but now these Ottomans have started to use cannons to bombard the city walls one after another.

These walls and towers have been bombarded in the past few days. First, the towers of the second city wall have been damaged a lot. Now another wall has collapsed. The defensive fortress of Constantinople has begun to appear under the encroachment of the Ottomans flawed.

It seems that the result of such a passive defense will still be not optimistic, and some method must be used to make changes.

Li Mu said this to himself in his heart, but at this time there was cheering from a distance behind him, Li Mu turned around, looked at the city in confusion, a moment later a cavalry came and told Li Mu that the battleship in Jinjiao Bay had just sunk The Ottoman ships were destroyed, and a raging fire was already burning in the harbor at this moment.

Sure enough, black smoke was rising there, but the Ottomans on the west wall didn't care about the situation, and instead attacked even more frantically.

He used his hands and feet to cross the trench with the help of a ladder, and then rushed towards the gap in the first city wall.

The gap was still a few meters high. These people quickly climbed up along the chaotic rocks, but were immediately overturned by the arrows shot from all around.

The archers on the walls on both sides and the second exposed wall were pouring arrows crazily at this moment. Arrows hit like raindrops one by one, and these Ottoman soldiers were shot over again and again.

However, driven by the soldiers, these Ottoman slaves still rushed towards the gap crazily. They finally broke through the gap and jumped into the middle of the first and second city walls.

But the next moment they found something was wrong, they saw that the two sides of the place were blocked by stones and sandbags again, and on both sides of the passage, the two temporary walls were full of fully armed kings. Constantinople hoplites.

Almost after a roar, these Constantinople soldiers held long shields and long swords and stabbed at the people in the circle surrounded by the gap.

The sharp weapon pierced the throat, and blood splashed on the rocks. These Ottoman soldiers were killed in it before they could figure out the situation.

For a time, it almost became a slaughterhouse, and the soldiers of Constantinople were unilaterally massacring these Ottoman slaves and soldiers.
