Battlefield of All Sides

Chapter 312 Risk your life and fight!
The low-pitched horns and the shouts of killing that resounded through the sky kept echoing in Li Mu's ears, and the Ottomans climbing up the walls everywhere made Li Mu's scalp tingle.

At this time, the entire west wall blocked no less than 5 troops, and now only the third wall of Constantinople is complete.

There are roughly [-] soldiers with sufficient combat power on the city wall, and the rest are young and strong peasants.

The balance of war was already tipping in favor of the Ottomans.

Li Mu was also breathing heavily at the moment, and his eyes swept everywhere, watching the soldiers screaming and fighting with the Ottomans, watching the people everywhere on the city wall carrying various things and dumping them under the city wall.

All want to live, all are fighting to survive.

As it was with the people of Constantinople, so it was with the Ottomans.

A figure covered in blood came forward, it was Gistini, at this moment he looked at Li Mu in panic, and shouted loudly.

"Your Majesty, what should we do? The Ottomans are about to attack!"

Li Mu was awakened by the other party's words, shook his head violently, exhaled heavily, and then spoke to Gistini.

"Throw everything that can burn over the city wall, and everyone withdraws from the second city wall and retreats to the third city wall."

After finishing speaking, Gistini nodded heavily and asked several soldiers to escort Lin Dong back.

The howl of retreating suddenly sounded, and the soldiers of Constantinople responded quickly, throwing down all the surrounding things that could be thrown off the city wall, and then ran back with the civilian husband.

Standing at the gate of the city, Li Mu watched groups of soldiers return to the third city wall, and saw the figure of the Ottomans who had already appeared on the second city wall.

Everything still failed to come true as Li Mu expected. The sides of the second city wall were blown down, and the Ottomans rushed in from both sides. Even if there was a parapet to block them, the entire second city wall would soon be blocked. .

Li Mu had placed heavy troops on the second city wall before. If these soldiers were besieged like this, the third city wall would completely lose its defensive power.

So when the time comes, these soldiers can only watch Constantinople being breached.

Now give up the second city wall and evacuate all the forces to the third city wall, after all, we still retain the power of the first battle.

I just hope that these soldiers and people can last longer.

Li Mu stood at the gate of the city with a long sword in his hand, and every soldier who passed by cast a hopeful look at Li Mu.

For them, the belief that allows them to continue fighting today is their family members in the city, and His Majesty the Emperor who has always insisted on the city wall.

As long as His Majesty the Emperor is still around, they don't feel like they have failed.

Li Mu looked at the soldiers retreating into the third city wall one after another, and also saw Ottomans rushing in the distance on both sides.

They also hope to open an opening from the city gate where Li Mu is standing, and end this battle completely.

Li Mu made a decisive decision, raised the sword in his hand, and said to the captain of the guard.

"Take your people and go to stop with me!" Li Mu grabbed an officer at the same time and asked them to lead a team to stop the enemy on the other side.

At least ensure that all the soldiers and civilians of Constantinople can return to the city smoothly.

Two teams of heavy armored infantry moved towards the sides, and the archers on the city wall also moved quickly, firing arrows continuously on the city wall to prevent the Ottomans from advancing too fast.

At this moment, those Ottomans had burst into loud cheers. At this moment, many of them were standing on the second city wall, watching the continuous stream of troops behind them attacking Constantinople.
And Constantinople has been retreating steadily, and the decline is complete. They all believe that the dawn of victory has arrived.

Li Mu stood at the gate of the city until the last moment. Two teams of heavy armored infantry who fought bloody battles returned to the gate. The heavy gate fell straight down. Li Mu ordered the soldiers to block it tightly with sandbags and stones.

The Ottomans were temporarily blocked outside the third wall.

It's just that they didn't have any attack stagnation. On the contrary, soon the Ottomans came to the third city wall with ladders, commanding the slaves to take the lead in climbing the city.

Li Mu had just arrived on the city wall, and the soldiers who had just returned to the third wall had to drag their tired bodies to start a new round of counterattack.

A sharp sword flew past Li Mu's ear. Li Mu walked forward calmly, stood by the city wall and looked down. Seeing the densely packed Ottomans starting to climb the city again, he turned to face several soldiers. Said with Minfu.

"My order, demolish the house closest to the city wall, and throw everything down to me."

After Li Mu said this sentence, he said to an officer next to him.

"Concentrate on clearing the ladders, let the soldiers persist, and prevent them from climbing the city."

Soon Li Mu appeared on the edge of the third city wall again. According to the Ottoman artillery unit preparing in the distance, he ordered the soldiers to tie the sacks filled with sand with thick ropes and string them up layer by layer. The head hangs down a few meters.

The Ottomans had already found a way to attack the city, and Li Mu couldn't let them just attack the weak part of the city wall.

When the third wall was breached, the life of Constantinople also entered the final countdown.

The battle on the city wall was still very fierce. Soldiers who climbed the ladder kept falling down, and the screams continued to echo around.

Li Mu is now running around the city wall, helping to consolidate the defenses everywhere.

But at this moment, there was a rumbling sound, and then there was a tremor from the city wall.

Li Mu raised his head and looked into the distance, and the Ottoman cannon once again swallowed the fire and smoke.

A scream came from not far away from Li Mu, and the man came towards Li Mu quickly.

It was Gistini. At this moment, he was covering his arm, looking at Li Mu with blood all over his face, his eyes full of horror.

He saw Li Mu, but he didn't stop, and walked straight to the next stairs.

Li Mu stopped the other party and said.

"Gistini, what's wrong with you?"

Gistini seemed to have lost his soul at this moment, and said with a dull look in his eyes.

"Constantinople can no longer be defended, I want to leave, I want to leave here through the exit I prepared, and leave Constantinople."

Gistini murmured to himself, and Li Mu became furious when he heard this. A general actually threatened to leave at this moment.

But the angry Li Mu just slapped the opponent, and ordered the soldiers to escort him to the city.

Gistini's collapse is understandable. These days, he has been bearing the pressure of defending the city, and has been fighting at the forefront. Just now, the musket bullet hit his arm and became the last thing that crushed him. a straw.

But Jistiny is out of control, Li Mu can't, the city is already on the verge of destruction, Li Mu has no option to back down.

So Li Mu looked around, immediately tore off the white robe that was stained red with blood, and then tore off the purple robe that wrapped the armor, looked around decisively, and suddenly pulled out the sword at his waist.

"All nobles, soldiers, and common people obey orders!"

Li Mu shouted loudly, with a decisive voice and deep eyes.

"I am the Eleventh Emperor of Constantinople. Today, everyone is proud to die in battle, and they are not allowed to back down until the last moment."

"I allow you to escape, but before I fall, you must take up the swords in your hands and fight with me, fight!"

"Constantinople is our city. It can only perish in our hands. No outsider will be allowed to touch Constantinople."

"The sword in our hand will cut off their heads, and let them know that Constantinople is sacred and inviolable!"

"Fighters, join me in risking your lives. This battle is just for Constantinople!"
