Battlefield of All Sides

Chapter 311
The battlefield returned to a short period of calm, but the soldiers and people of Constantinople did not dare to stop. They were busy gathering wounded soldiers and strengthening the second city wall.

At the moment, at the foot of the second city wall, the corpses of the Ottomans were already piled up. Li Mu didn't ask anyone to clean them up, but only asked them to collect their equipment.

At this point in the war, it is actually a huge test for both sides.

The Ottomans could use force to force their soldiers to attack, but Li Mu could not do this to his own soldiers.

Each of them is a valuable force for defending the city. The forces that can be mobilized in the city are all on standby by the city wall. Those who have served as soldiers have all gone up to the city wall. Those who can hold weapons temporarily help with chores. They are really old and weak. This is to help deliver things and transport the wounded under the city wall.

It is no exaggeration to say that except for the elderly, weak, women and children, Li Mu mobilized the rest of the people, trying to make the western city wall an impenetrable existence.

But whether it can withstand the Ottoman attack is still a variable.

Li Mu is patrolling the city wall, rearranging some weakly defended places, and at the same time reminding these soldiers to pay attention to the integrity of the city wall, and if there is a problem, they will disperse immediately to ensure the vitality as much as possible.

In fact, after so many days of fighting, the soldiers were prepared for the defense after the collapse of the city wall, but Li Mu did not dare to relax. The first city wall was useless, and the second city wall was also in danger.

If the second city wall collapses without consuming Ottoman's soldiers as much as possible, it will be extremely difficult to rely on the last city wall to defend to the end.

After finishing all this, Li Mu stood on the city wall and looked into the distance, seeing the Ottoman army gathering in chaos in the distance, feeling indescribably depressed.

My own system tasks have been achieved a lot, and there are only the last 2 people left.

After completing this goal, no matter what the city is like, I will definitely be able to leave.

It's just that Li Mu wanted to win a battle, at least let him test whether his ability has improved.

The soldiers on the city wall thought that Li Mu was worrying about the safety of Constantinople, and they all looked outside with the determination to defend the city, quietly waiting for the next battle to come.

When the sun reached its highest point and the soldiers and civilians of Constantinople were seizing the time to eat and drink under the scorching sun, a dense and dull sound of horns suddenly came from outside the city.

The soldiers who heard this voice immediately dropped their food, picked up their weapons and stood by the city wall.

Li Mu also looked outside, his mind highly concentrated.

The Ottomans chose to attack at such a time.

Li Mu originally thought that the next attack of the Ottomans would be launched at two or three o'clock in the afternoon. At that time, people were exhausted, and it was relatively difficult to suddenly raise the spirit of fighting.

But the Ottoman seemed impatient to attack.

In fact, this is what Li Mu also thought wrong. This is not only because the Ottomans are eager for quick success, but also because there is a shortage of food and grass for the Ottomans. A meal this morning is the last meal for slaves and miscellaneous soldiers.

They would have to break Constantinople if they were to have a second meal.

So most of the Ottomans are hungry now. If they still stand like this, they will lose their strength by then, but how can they attack the city?

So the attack was launched at such a strange point in time.

But no one will give up fighting because of the scorching sun.

The soldiers of Constantinople reacted quickly and stood in full battle around the city wall, while the Ottomans were also attacking like ants from a distance at this moment.

Li Mu was so sunburnt that he couldn't open his eyes at the moment, but he still came to the second city wall and walked behind every soldier, cheering him on.

At this point, there is not much that Li Mu can do. He can only rely on the soldiers to resist tenaciously and see if the troops heading for the surprise attack can bring good luck.

Li Mu walked around the city wall, and the soldiers eased their tension slightly. The Ottomans had also arrived under the city wall.

The slaves who rushed to the front were still the cannon fodder, and the miscellaneous soldiers directed them to set up the ladder and then began to climb.

They soon encountered fierce resistance from the soldiers of Constantinople.

Arrows flew under the city wall, all kinds of stones and wood rolled down, and the Ottomans began to die and injure a lot.

But this time the other side quickly threw in the local troops, and these soldiers were also very fast. After arriving at the city wall, they headed towards the city gate with purpose, and there were people and horses guarding the siege ram. , it looks like they are going to break in.

And this time the Ottoman cannons were also re-deployed. Those cannons no longer attacked Constantinople indiscriminately.

It seemed that in an instant, these Ottomans seemed to be enlightened, and they used various means to try to break through the defense of Constantinople from everywhere.

Gradually, the defenders on the city wall felt unprecedented pressure.

But there are not many defensive methods left for them.

There were crowds of people everywhere on the city wall, and the soldiers tried their best to block the attack of the soldiers below, while the peasants were holding stones, carrying buckets and pouring back and forth under the city wall.

The battle has entered an anxious state, but fortunately those Ottoman soldiers have not yet climbed the city wall.

Li Mu stared nervously at the surroundings, but at this moment, there was a rumbling sound, and Li Mu's eyes were suddenly attracted, and he saw a huge smoke rising from the corner on the right side of the city wall.

"What's going on?" Someone shouted loudly.

"The city wall has collapsed, the city wall there has collapsed!" Someone responded in a panic.

Riots began to appear on the city wall. Li Mu looked at the situation there and was extremely anxious. He immediately ordered a group of soldiers on the third city wall to go for reinforcements, and at the same time tried his best to stabilize the soldiers on the second city wall.

However, this obviously had a psychological impact on the soldiers defending the city, and their resistance slowed down. This time, Li Mu saw an Ottoman climbing up the city wall.

"Catch them up, and quickly send people to stop the enemy at the gap. Be sure to hold on, and don't let them attack the third city wall!"

Li Mu shouted loudly and immediately drew out his sword to join the battle, but before Li Mu took a few steps, there was a sudden booming sound from the other side.

I only saw a small collapse of the city wall on the left, which caused some soldiers to be buried in it. The Ottomans saw the opportunity and moved the ladder to prepare to come up from the gap.

Li Mu quickly ordered the archers to suppress it, and at the same time asked two teams to carry long shields and spears to stop the attack.

The sudden appearance of another gap in the second city wall terrified the soldiers of Constantinople. Facing the densely packed soldiers climbing up from under the city wall, they already seemed a little scared.

And the fear continues to grow.

When Li Mu led the soldiers to the second city wall, the sound of horns sounded again in the distance outside the city.

But this time, there was a tidy roar outside the city.

Then Li Mu saw tens of thousands of people rushing towards Constantinople in an orderly manner.

That was the imperial army of the Ottoman Sultan, the real elite force in his hands!

Seeing that Constantinople was crumbling at this moment, the Ottoman Sultan pushed all the chips up.

The battle to break the city is just around the corner!
Constantinople is already at stake!
