king of ros

Chapter 497 Open Sesame

"You...forget it, I can't remember the names of you northerners, it's like I can't recognize who you are. Have you solved the enemies from the water palace?"

As soon as he came up, the Greek officer who seemed to have a lot of background said this, these words made Rurik choke, but soon the Prince Ross reacted, "Yes, everything is resolved. "

"That's good. If I didn't suddenly find out that someone was doing something in the water palace, I wouldn't have noticed that there were enemies there. Really, it seems that Constantinople is full of traitors, wait We beat back these rebels, there must be a big purge."

The officer shook his head and sighed, and through his sigh, Rurik also realized that the ambush was really just a coincidence, this... It can only be said that God is too good at arranging people's fate.

"Wait, I remember that the previous captain wasn't you."

The officer's words made Rurik's heart tense immediately, but he still responded with a relaxed face, "Unfortunately, the original captain died in battle, and now I will take over the team."

Fortunately for Rurik, the man didn't become suspicious, "Well, well, is it a big loss for you? I see that many people in your team have blood on them, and the bow I gave you before The crossbowmen are gone, too."

"Yes, although those enemies are not many in number, they are very elite. Some of them even broke through our defense and killed the crossbowmen, and then they chopped them down one by one like they were killing pigs."

Rurik's reaction was very quick, and he found the words to respond the moment the question was thrown, and the Greek didn't become suspicious when he saw this, and kept nodding.

"That's really a pity, but we don't need that much here, so if it's gone, let's go and rest now, the next battle will not be less, maybe we will have to ask for it at that time." Let you go up to the wall."

"By the way, how is the battle going?"

Rurik didn't leave, but talked about the situation in a homely manner, and when it came to the situation, the officer became very excited, "Haha, you didn't see that, those guys outside broke through the first city wall at most, Then they were blocked in front of the second and third city walls, they couldn't break through this city wall, and they didn't know what the smugglers in the city were doing to smuggle, we clearly had the chance to win."

"Really? I see, then I'll leave first to settle down with my people."

"Yeah, let's go."

What the officer didn't see was that at the moment Rurik turned around, he made a gesture to the people behind him, and the meaning of that gesture was very simple - start to move.

When the action inside the city wall is in full swing, the situation outside the city is not so good.

Facing the city walls of Constantinople, the Rus and Greeks seemed so powerless. Their rounds of sieges on the city walls ended in failure. They were either driven off the city walls or blocked on the first layer of the city walls I can't move inside a certain tower.

The morale of the soldiers was getting lower and lower. After several times of fruitless attacks, they really couldn't rush forward. Knowing that the essence of advancing was death, few people were willing to step forward.

As the attackers became weaker and weaker, the defenders also began to play some new tricks, such as suddenly opening the hidden doors on the city wall that were completely invisible, and then slashing and killing the enemies who were busy climbing the city.

This kind of surprise action can achieve very good results. The soldiers who are ascending the city did not expect that there will be an attack from the city wall. The defenders immediately retreated after sweeping the nearby attackers at the fastest speed. The attackers can only look helplessly at the closed secret door.

But the matter did not end like this. After knowing that there are secret doors here, the attackers must not just watch like this. They must send people to watch these secret doors, but the places where these secret doors are located are often extremely vulnerable to arrows. .

What's more terrible is that you don't even know how many secret doors there are, so people are panic everywhere all of a sudden, everyone is less and less willing to attack, and morale is getting lower and lower.

Rostislav once had great expectations for the crash that hit the city gate, but it turned out that after paying a lot of casualties, the crash finally came to the Golden Gate, but it couldn't hit the gate at all, and then the Greeks used torches It lit up.

And those soldiers who rushed so deep will not be able to pull back for a while. They are completely under the blow of the arrows, and they can only rely on the burning car and raise their shields to deal with the arrows in all directions. It can be said that they have already begun to die slowly. .

Under the city wall has become a place of death for the besiegers. There are corpses everywhere, and there are soldiers lingering everywhere. No one wants to continue to attack, no one wants to die.

Seeing teams of wounded being brought down from the front line, Rostislav's mood became worse and worse. He rode his horse back and forth uncontrollably, and Alexios did not calm down. According to this situation Go down, and the siege will fail.

"When will there be trouble in the city?"

Rostislav anxiously said to Alexios that the current situation cannot continue, but Alexios could only shake his head. He really didn't know about it, and everything in the city was not under his control. among.

Just when the morale of the troops was getting lower and lower, a scene that they never expected suddenly happened in front of them, and the magnificent golden gate was slowly opened.

"God, Rurik and the others succeeded!"

Rostislav couldn't help exclaiming, and after being surprised, he was proud, proud of his son for doing such a feat.

When the city gate opened, the soldiers who had been forced to surround the burning car and crashed into the car immediately rushed in, but there were not a few shouts of killing from behind, and it seemed that the battle there was also fierce.

"Lord Rostislav, let's go!"

Alexios yelled, and then led his long-prepared heavy cavalry to rush towards the Golden Gate. At a glance, all the people who could still move, whether they were Russians or Greeks, were rushing towards the Golden Gate.

"Come on boys, let's go, victory is ours!"

Following Rostislav's words, his entourage and soldiers also moved, and the standing army hurriedly followed, advancing towards the open city gate.

Everyone's heart is filled with excitement, because they all know that as long as they rush through the gate, the majestic and rich Constantinople will unfold in front of them, and the goddess of victory will also unfold the skirts for them, and victory will be Belonging to them, all death and sacrifices are worth it!
