Chapter 798 It feels so good to leave after pretending

Constantinople surged out in chaos, and under the leadership of the Angel Michael, counterattacked Rome in Adrian Castle...

Uh, Eastern Roman Legion.

In short, this army of more than 10,000 people, including the real army, plus armed civilians, does not have to go to Adrian Fort two hundred kilometers away. In fact, they encountered the Ottoman army less than fifty kilometers away from Constantinople, and they were led by Murad I personally.

But there are not many people in the latter.

At this time, the Ottoman Empire was not a real big country. In fact, it was only the Asia Minor Peninsula. Not long ago, it had just robbed the Thracian region of the Byzantines, and had just experienced an internal melee. Soon they had to face the rising Timur Empire in the east. The cripple Timur had already rebelled, and soon he would control Xichagatai and establish the Timur Empire and embark on the road of expansion. Later, he even captured the Ottoman Emperor playing with his wife in front of him, and then pissed this guy to death. The reason why Murad I made every effort to explore Europe and even renamed Adrian Fort Edirne and then used this city as the capital of the empire was because it was safer. No matter how powerful the enemies in the east were, they would basically no longer have the ability to cross the Bosphorus after crossing the Asia Minor Peninsula. As for the Christians in Europe...

He really didn't take these waste seriously.

This time he was not going to seize Constantinople just because it was unnecessary and the cost was too high. He controlled all the surrounding land. What if there was a Constantinople left in his siege?

So he only brought 30,000 people.

He was here to scare and force John V to pay tribute to him. In fact, in history, John V even had to send troops to him as cannon fodder. The real value of this city lies in business. It is a trade hub between the East and the West. All goods from the East and the Silk Road were basically shipped here or along the Black Sea coast locked here, and then transported to Europe by merchant ships. This was indeed a huge piece of fat, but it was a forbidden body by the Venetians. He believed that at least at present, he could not afford to offend the maritime overlords of this era. The latter's navy was not a joke, and it was possible to cut off his connection with the rear at any time.

However, he did not expect that John V would send troops to counterattack.

"Angel?"

Murad I sneered.

The huge army of Sheng Zhan was stopping opposite him, and then arrayed with a huge cross as the core, and behind the cross was the Double Eagle Flag. It should be said that John V still has a certain strength. The core of this army is nearly a thousand heavy armored cavalry, about three thousand archers and crossbowmen, and more than three thousand armored infantry. This is almost the entire army of Constantinople was dispatched.

John V had less than 10,000 troops in total.

And there are many mercenaries he hired from other places for money. As for the money, of course, they borrowed it from the Venetians. In this era, bankers were already in the war.

The remaining three thousand are the followers of chores.

But this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is a large four-wheeled carriage behind the cross and the Double Eagle Flag. On the carriage is a throne that has been moved from somewhere. On the throne is a white robe with wings folded up, sitting with John V in golden armor on one side, and Patriarch Constantine in white robe.

This is an angel!

The Ottoman soldiers who were lined up looked at each other.

Obviously they were a little scared.

After all, they were also afraid of Michael.

Murad signaled, and a group of elders next to him immediately stepped forward and began to read the Bible. The infantry immediately knelt down, and the cavalry also dismounted and knelt down. They were not worried that the Byzantines on the opposite side would take the opportunity to attack, because the latter was also doing similar things. Patriarch Constantine came forward in person and led a group of priests to read the Bible and sprinkle holy water for the soldiers who were about to fight. The Byzantine soldiers also knelt down and prayed. The scene of the two armies kneeling down and worshiping each other hundreds of meters was also spectacular.

"What a trouble!"

Yang Feng said speechlessly.

At this time, he was the only one who was still sitting upright on the throne. Although Patriarch Constantine was a little confused, he did not dare to question him. After all, as an archangel, it was also second only to Yawei, and it was normal to have some privileges.

He then stood up and spread his wings instantly.

The soldiers around him were immediately excited and worshipped. Amid their worship, Yang Feng slowly walked off the carriage, and then grabbed it casually. A sand dune on the sandy land beside him immediately bulged upwards, and melted and condensed in the blink of an eye, turning into a huge turbid glass ball with a diameter of one meter, rising like a balloon with his raising his hand.

"Prepare for attack!"

He said to John V and the generals who were peeping.

Before these people could answer, he soared into the sky with this huge glass ball and disappeared from people's vision in an instant. The two armies praying on the battlefield all raised their heads and looked up at the sky. Suddenly, a vague spot of light fell in the sky, and it became clearer and faster. The soldiers who prayed stood up and looked up at the sky without caring about praying. The spot of light became faster and faster, and became clearer and clearer like a meteor. They all looked up at the spectacular scene, without knowing what it represented.

They were even amazed by it.

At a height of 300 meters, under the dual action of gravity and jet power, Yang Feng, whose speed was almost three times the speed of sound, suddenly threw the glass ball out with all his might and pulled it up instantly. Just as he almost flew over the head of the Ottoman, the huge glass ball accurately hit a rock protruding from the ground in the Ottoman formation at nearly four times the speed of sound. The next moment, the shattered glass and the crushed rock spread in an obvious shock wave ring in the loud bang of the sky and the earth cracking. All the fragments, regardless of size, were fired in all directions at speed comparable to bullets. Just around the landing point, the Ottomans were knocked back by the air waves, and these fragments also penetrated the bodies of them and more of their companions.

Murad I, who was more than 100 meters away from the landing point, was hit on his face by a gravel that was only the size of a coin. The gravel instantly penetrated his head and flew out with blood and brain matter.

Then the surging sandstorm flooded him.

"Kill, for the glory of the Lord!"

Yang Feng, who fell back to the carriage, waved the red spear-shaped cross and roared.

John V suddenly woke up.

"Kill, for the glory of the Lord!"

He drew his sword and roared forward like crazy...

The rest is to destroy the dead, or it can be said to be knocked down by the dog!

Before the Byzantine cavalry rushed over, the Ottomans who were awake from the shock began to flee without hesitation. Although this glass bullet actually killed and injured at most, the supernatural power instantly disintegrated their will. The frightened Ottoman infantry and cavalry trampled on each other and fled to this terrifying place like crazy. They had no courage to turn around. Then they were caught up by the Byzantine heavy cavalry and trampled under the horse's hooves, or were chopped to the ground by the Byzantine infantry surging from behind, and even those believers who were doing odd jobs joined in the pursuit.

The pursuit was not finally stopped until Fort Adrian, and at this time, John V had already had an army of 100,000.

Although most of them are civilians.

However, there are indeed some real armies coming under the leadership of those little lords.

After all, this is the territory of Christians. Murad I only occupied Adrian Fort this year, so I didn't have time to care about them. Some small lords just accepted surrender. Speaking of which, the feudal lords in Eastern Rome in this era were not as honest as the landlords in the late Ming Dynasty. It was also very refreshing for these guys to bow their knees to heresy, but now these people have to quickly knock down their water dogs and show their loyalty to the angels.

This is an opportunity to atone for sins.

They have surrendered to heresy, and they may not go to hell.

Yang Feng generously forgives their sins on behalf of Yawei, and then smashes the walls of Adrian Castle with a glass ball. He doesn't need to be responsible for the rest. John V's 100,000 troops rushed in, accompanied by the Ottomans in the city's desperate breakthrough, and the Eastern Roman Empire was born in the Jedi, and under the leadership of the archangel, he regains this city that is crucial to Constantinople.

Then Yang Feng returned to heaven with satisfaction at the worship center of countless believers...

He doesn't care about the rest.

When the angel comes, he is only responsible for doing big things. As for the small things that are left to the end, what is the use of those believers if the angel takes the initiative?

In fact, John V's trouble was far from over. Although he regained the Adrian Fort, both the Gallipoli Peninsula and the Saroniga, which originally belonged to him, were still occupied by the Ottomans. Moreover, because of the huge gap in strength between the two sides and the intrigues between the guys within him, he still did not have the ability to counterattack these places without Yang Feng.

And he had no money to counterattack.

He did have an army that was not weak, but these troops had to spend money. They were mercenaries. The victory of his counterattack on Adrian Fort was just being able to pay back several matured loans from the Venetians. What's wrong with you with angels? If you have angels, you can't owe debts. Even if the Pope has owed the debts. If he dares not to repay, the Venetians will come to the door. Two kilometers away from his palace is the Venetian concession, so Yang Feng did give this empire that was on the verge of extinction, but the effect is still the same as before. This is still a dying body.

but……

This is nothing to do with him!

He's here to make some soy sauce.
