Battlefield of All Sides

Chapter 307 Infighting in the City
Several slaves finally chose to be rich, and Li Mu sent them back to the other side in batches.

Then Li Mu returned to the main hall in a hurry. At this moment, in the center of the city, a farce was suddenly staged there.

Several Constantinople youths tied up a Genoese businessman and sent them to the temple, and then clamored to kill this ungrateful guy who only had money in his eyes.

The reason is that this guy has the same surname as the Genoese lord who let the Ottomans borrow.

This was originally a ridiculous thing, but under the current situation, especially knowing that Genoa had betrayed its promise and let Osman damage Constantinople in this way, the people of Constantinople responded very positively.

However, the Genoese who had settled in the city for a long time expressed fierce resistance to this. They also brought large and small troops to stop the compatriots killed by the youths of Constantinople.

As a result, swords were on the verge of breaking out in the city. Seeing this, the muddy duke could only call someone to call Li Mu to deal with the situation.

Li Mu naturally came to the square of the temple with a gloomy expression.

At this moment, several young people from Constantinople were loudly reprimanding the Genoese, and the surrounding crowd showed faint signs of being incited.

It was only when Li Mu arrived with his army that these people were silenced.

Seeing Li Mu's arrival, the people of Genoa, as if seeing a savior, asked Li Mu to uphold justice.

Wearing a suit of armor, Li Mu walked slowly to the center of the square, looking at the bound old man kneeling on the ground, and several Constantinople youths standing beside him holding short knives.

"Children, your swords should be aimed at the Ottomans outside." Li Mu said lightly to one of the blond youths.

The young man was full of dissatisfaction at the moment, saluted Li Mu, and said.

"Your Majesty, this Genoese put us in danger. Should we hold him accountable until the city is destroyed?"

"Only by killing him and driving out these Genoese who suck blood from us can we keep our Constantinople."

Several young people around the young man also echoed, but some Genoese people around him expressed their anger.

Li Mu narrowed his eyes slowly, staring at the young man, and said slowly.

"Son, do you have family members guarding the city walls?"

The young man hurriedly bowed: "My father and elder brother surrounded the home on the city wall!"

"Good job, who is your father?" Li Mu said in agreement, the young man also looked proud at the moment, turned his head and looked around, and said.

"His name is Dibitis Harut! My father and my brother are on guard at the western wall! They have killed several Ottomans!"

When Li Mu heard this, his expression suddenly changed, and then he said to the captain of the escort team next to him.

"Find Dibitis Harut and bring him here!"

Li Mu's tone was harsh, and everyone around him was stunned, and the blond young man seemed to feel something was wrong, his expression changed suddenly, then he looked at Li Mu, and asked quickly.

"Your Majesty, why is this? Am I wrong?"

"Of course you are wrong!" Li Mu said in a deep voice, and immediately took a step forward, meeting the eyes of the blond young man.

"Your father and brother fought for Constantinople and for your safety on the city wall, but you never thought of sharing this responsibility, but you are fighting in this city!"

As Li Mu said so, the murderous aura overflowed from his body, the young man couldn't help but took a few steps back, and then looked at Li Mu with fear.

Li Mu looked at the people around him and said.

"I know you are angry, you are afraid, you want victory, but victory is not here, victory is outside the walls!"

"Fighting off those Ottomans is the real victory, not stabbing an old man here and sneering at others!"

Li Mu's words were resounding, and the surrounding crowd were overwhelmed by Li Mu's aura. Today's Li Mu has a high prestige in the army, and the common people know that this monarch has been fighting on the city wall since the beginning of the war.

They were powerless to refute Li Mu's words.

At this time, Li Mu drew out his sword, and cut off the rope that bound the old man with one sword. Several women rushed forward, crying after seeing that the old man was safe and sound.

Li Mu held his sword and looked around, his fierce eyes swept over everyone, and everyone lowered their heads wherever they looked.

"Don't forget how much of our food and clothing was brought in by them. Not long ago, they also ventured across the huge Ottoman fleet to bring us supplies. My people in Constantinople didn't eat People who forget other people's things!"

Li Mu said fiercely, at this time the soldier had already brought a bearded man to Li Mu, and when the man saw Li Mu, he quickly knelt down.

"Your Majesty, it's my fault. I am willing to accept the punishment instead of my son."

Li Mu shook his head and pointed at the controlled blond young man with his sword.

"You are not wrong, you are fighting for the country, I will reward you in the future, but..."

"From now on, replace your other son and let him put on armor and weapons to stand on the city wall."

Li Mu snorted coldly and put the long sword back into the scabbard.

"We don't need infighters, my children. Remember there is only one enemy now, and that is the Ottomans outside!"

After Li Mu finished speaking, he turned around and left. Gistini quickly led the soldiers to disperse the people, and at the same time conveyed Li Mu's words to every corner of Constantinople.

What Li Mu said tonight was to express an attitude that no one was allowed to incite hatred against the Genoese.

And with Li Mu's order, this farce finally came to an end, because Li Mu calmed down the conflicts among the people in the city, and indirectly increased the strength of Constantinople.

And when the sun rose from the horizon again and a new day came, the enemy who was eyeing tigers outside the city also woke up.

Another day of brutal and bloody fighting.

It seems that because of the defeat in the Golden Horn, the Ottomans began to look to the west of Constantinople again, and they gathered a huge army to attack the west wall again.

For a whole day, guns boomed outside the western wall, and the first wall collapsed in two places again.

But because of Li Mu's previous arrangements, the soldiers in Constantinople fought bloody battles and finally managed to control the situation.And Constantinople also paid the price.

The first city wall was crumbling, and the enemy's shelling had even successfully damaged the second city wall.

Although these positions are still in Li Mu's hands, everyone can see that if Osman continues to attack like this, it will only be a matter of time before the first city wall is lost.

For several days in a row, the city walls were full of busy soldiers passing through. They were busy blocking the attacking Ottomans, and they also ran around the damaged walls to stop the swarming Ottoman soldiers.

Everything until a big fire one night.

That night, there was a strong wind blowing on the sea. Standing at the head of the city, Li Mu was frowning in his clothes, frowning and observing the surrounding situation, when he suddenly noticed a bright light in the distance on the left.

The bright light cave became more and more frequent, and began to become brighter, and soon formed a line of fire in the distance, stretching across the sky, very spectacular.

Then Li Mu keenly realized that it was the Ottoman ship trough.

The slaves who were sent back finally did, and they managed to set the ship's tank ablaze.

With the help of the strong wind, the greased boat trough was blazing. Li Mu watched the situation and clenched his fists tightly.

The next moment, Li Mu summoned his soldiers again and tried his best to repair the western city wall.

Because the situation seems to be developing for the better now.
