Water Margin people

"it is true!"

The Spartan picked up the parchment and read it carefully, then looked at the marquis's mark for a long time before speaking.

All the Spartans began to cheer. They had waited for so many years and finally the day came when they would come into contact with slavery.

"Brothers, let's go!"

The leading man put away the parchment, picked up his shield and scimitar and started to attack.

All the Spartans stood up with roars, their eyes were filled with murderous intent. As long as they succeeded, they would no longer be slaves.

The Spartans rushed towards the palace with roars, but when they saw the tragedy outside the palace, they were surprised. They didn't know what weapons the Qi people had used to kill so many people outside the city.

But these Spartans were not afraid. To come into contact with slavery was their dream from generation to generation, and they were not afraid of death for this matter.

"Go, step on the corpse!"

The leading Spartan shouted that the palace wall was only two zhang high, and now the corpses had accumulated to almost ten zhang. They could just sprint up and jump on it. As long as they got close, the enemy's witchcraft would be ineffective.

Running is part of the training that the Spartans received since childhood. Every Spartan warrior was an expert in long-distance running and they were very fast.

"Is there anyone else?"

Li Jun noticed the new people who had joined the battlefield. Each of these people was very strong and powerful, and any companions who blocked their way would be knocked over by them when they charged.

"Run fast? Then let's see if you can outrun the explosion!"

Li Jun directly pulled the rope that had been prepared nearby, which was a pre-buried explosive fuse.

"Boom boom boom!"

Violent explosions sounded from both sides of the street, with gravel and tiles flying everywhere. The shock waves generated by the explosions made it impossible for people to stand steadily, and the air waves even pushed people to the sides.

The Spartans who were accelerating did not expect the walls of the houses on both sides to explode, and many people were injured and fell to the ground.

But these Spartans did not retreat. Their injuries were only superficial and they got up and continued to charge.

"That's interesting. Blow it up for me. I want to see if you're really not afraid of death!"

Li Jun immediately gave the order.

A team of soldiers immediately took out mortars, took aim and started firing continuously.

The Spartan army, which had just continued its charge, was covered by artillery fire again. The destructive power of the explosion this time was much more terrible than the last time. Those who were injured were seriously injured and it was almost impossible for them to stand up again.

"what is this?"

The old Byzantine nobles who were preparing to welcome victory were stunned. The explosion just now once again refreshed their understanding of witchcraft.

Under the cover of artillery fire, the Spartans failed to create any more miracles. Everyone is equal in the face of death.

The Byzantine defenders who attacked the palace were also frightened at this moment. They dared not approach the palace again, even if there was a death order from above. Disobeying orders was not necessarily a crime, but continuing to move forward would definitely mean death.

The Byzantine army was defeated and the soldiers ran back, trying to get away from this meat grinder-like battlefield.

At sea, bursts of artillery bombardment were heard, bombarding several main roads out of Constantinople.

The ship's anti-ship guns were very powerful, and the roads were bombed into potholes, making it difficult for vehicles to pass.

"It's almost dawn! It's time to prepare for the massacre!"

Li Jun said with a smile.

The Byzantine army outside the city had all fled, leaving only corpses on the ground.

"General, be careful."

Suddenly a personal soldier shouted and pulled Li Jun over.

The next moment, a javelin whizzed past Li Jun's face. If he had not been pulled back, Li Jun's head would probably have been pierced by the javelin.

Li Jun was frightened and broke out in a cold sweat. He looked back and saw that it was already time and the Spartan warrior was looking at him breathlessly.

Immediately afterwards, more javelins were thrown onto the city wall, and the Qi soldiers took shelter one after another.

"Kill!"

The Spartans roared and continued to charge, but at this moment their number had dropped sharply from more than a thousand to more than three hundred.

"You're not dead yet? Kill him!"

Li Jun gave the order in anger, saying that he was almost assassinated just now. The soldiers raised their guns and fired, and when the Spartans saw it, they immediately rolled into the pile of dead bodies to hide.

Under the suppression of guns, the Spartans could not get close at all, but they soon thought of a solution. They used torches to burn the clothes of the dead and found some green leaves and grass.

Thick smoke quickly spread, blocking everyone's view.

"You even know how to use cigarettes!"

Li Jun frowned. He was full of surprise at these enemies who suddenly appeared. These enemies had a very strong combat awareness and they thought of a way to deal with guns so quickly.

"General, they are hiding in the smoke and we can't hit them!"

A soldier looked at Li Jun and said.

"It doesn't matter. You can't see them, and they can't see you. How long can they last in the smoke? This smoke is very choking."

Li Jun said, this burning smoke is not an ordinary thing, people can't stay in it for long.

There were constant coughing sounds in the smoke. Although the Spartans covered their mouths and noses with wet cloths, they could not protect their eyes. When the smoke filled their eyes, they burst into tears.

"withdraw!"

The Spartan generals in the smoke looked at the blurry walls of the palace. As the sky gradually brightened, they no longer had a chance of winning.

The remaining two hundred or so Spartan warriors quickly hid in the streets and disappeared without a trace.

“Very clever!”

Li Jun snorted coldly as he watched those people run away.

"Come on, follow me to sweep the city! None of these damned ones can escape!"

Li Jun gave orders to the army.

"You don't have to do anything!"

Xu Guanzhong said.

"Military Advisor, when did you come here?"

When Li Jun saw that it was Xu Guanzhong, he immediately asked.

"When you were nearly stabbed by a javelin."

Xu Guanzhong said with a smile.

"This...I can't forgive those people!"

Li Jun gritted his teeth and said that this shameful scene was actually seen by Xu Guanzhong, and he must kill all those people to vent his anger.

"The city is too big, and the people are too numerous and too diverse. Once they take off their clothes, they are all civilians. You have no way to investigate."

Xu Guanzhong spoke.

"What should we do? We can't let them off so easily!"

Li Jun said with a murderous look on his face.

"These are probably just claims made by certain people. Go find Theodore and ask them to do these things."

Xu Guanzhong said that they had no way of finding all these people today from a city unless they massacred the entire city.

But people like Theodore are different. They can easily find those people.

"This is a great plan!"

Li Jun laughed and said that this tactic of killing someone with a borrowed knife was really a great trick. They could deal with those people without spending any soldiers, and they could also divide them and test their loyalty at the same time.

Li Jun led five hundred soldiers out of the city. He did not look for those who had escaped, but asked around and went straight to a mansion in the city.

"What should we do with these people, the military advisor?"

A general pointed at the dead bodies and wounded enemies outside the palace and asked, only some were killed on the spot by guns, and most of them were injured and fell to the ground.

"Just kill him. He's a waste of food if he's still alive!"

Xu Guanzhong waved his hand. (End of this chapter)
