Eagle Byzantium

Then, the guards on the battlement who had not yet had time to run saw the enemy on the opposite high fort light the thick fuse, and the sparks burned violently, burning from the fort to the bottom of the valley where the two sides were stalemate, and then jumped up again.

Of course, this period of time was enough for the remaining people to run.

Bohemond, who was looking down from the shooting hole, covered his eyes at the moment when the flying fuse flame disappeared. Then a strong air wave rushed over, and his chest seemed to be torn by two big hands. He fluttered back and was rushed to the ground.

In everyone's eyes, the cave seemed to be expanded by the fiery explosion in just one or two seconds, expanding several times. The originally flat cave entrance turned into a devil's grinning mouth, and then the stone walls and rocks of the Four Sisters Towers cracked and shook continuously. The wooden frames and bricks used for fortifications around the cave turned into countless fragments, mixed with fireworks and splashed out fiercely, like a scene of a volcanic eruption, and then there was a whistling smoke covering the entire valley floor. The heavy ones quickly fell and covered, and the light ones rose up in large groups until the entire fortress was swallowed up.

At this moment, Constance was riding a mule, escorted by Wen Ruomina and a guard, heading northeast along the Orontes River. Her destination was the port of Saint Simon, where a ship would take her to Constantinople to live a life of imprisonment without worries of food and clothing. She hoped that the French royal family would come to rescue her, so that she could raise her child with Bohemond herself, and then give him the sword when he grew up, and tell him about his father's glory before his death and hatred after his death.

Suddenly, an earthquake-like explosion sounded, and Constance looked back in horror, watching the trembling of the Acropolis of Antioch on the ridge. She felt that the whole hill was about to be flattened, and the sun over there was also blocked, and the sky was dark, and there was gray dust everywhere, sweeping the entire city and the river.

"Dear lady, you have to get used to it. This is normal in war and chaos." After seeing Constance crying silently in pain, the one-armed sleeping officer stretched out his broken arm and comforted her.

Bohemond, who was knocked to the ground, took several minutes to get up. The surroundings were full of small gravel, which hurt his hands and made them bleed. He squinted his eyes and trembled as he walked back to the cracked shooting hole. The bricks and stones covering half of the tower had fallen off, and the tower was also tilted. After the smoke in front of him dissipated, he saw that the battlements, war sheds and towers on one side of the tower had almost all sunk down seven or eight feet, forming a huge and messy pit.

At this time, Bohemond trembled and closed his eyes. He really understood that even if he could withstand the damage caused by Gawain's explosion this time, the fall of the main tower of the Acropolis would only happen within half a month, which was a destined outcome.

Gawain wanted him to understand that "even if you use all your wisdom and strength, you can't fight me. This is the price of betrayal." Even if the so-called Song Dynasty army fell from the sky, he could kill himself like a cat killing a mouse before that.

But out of inertia, he still had to fight.

Perhaps he owed Gawain too much before, so he became even more crazy in his fight.

Prince Antioch stepped on the half-destroyed corner tower, drew his sword and shouted loudly to encourage everyone to rush out from the main tower and hidden places again, carrying bricks and earth baskets to repair the collapsed city section again. Hundreds of tenacious Auxing soldiers rushed back from all over again, braving the continuous artillery fire and arrows from the opposite side, and began to repair the battlements.

At this time, under the double-headed eagle flag flying on the siege rampart, Gawain came to the front-line soldiers. He looked at the incomplete form of the opposite defenders and the increasing number of repair soldiers, and raised his hand to knock on the helmets of several generals, "The enemy has been fooled, detonate the cave below!"

The generals raised their hands, and a row of military musicians began to beat the drums hanging on their chests in a hurry, and then a sharp whistle sounded, echoing in the valley between their own side and the opposite tower.

This is a signal.

Under the cave that was initially detonated, there is a larger cave separated by brackets and thick plates. It is filled with iron guns, round barrels and large baskets filled with strong Khitan snow. The explosion is more than three times more powerful than the cave above...

This is the "double-layer detonation siege technique" thought up by Engineer Geddie: the cave on the upper layer is intentionally visible to the guards. First, it is detonated, and when the city soldiers rush back to repair the city defense, the lower cave with greater power is quickly detonated!

Then in front of Gawain, the battlements in front of the Four Sisters Tower, along with the hundreds of guards who were repairing it, can really be described as tragic - the city gates, towers and battlements seemed to suddenly bulge with several huge tumors, and the densely packed people on them were like on the deck of a stormy ship, some suddenly rising, and some suddenly sinking, and then the flames from those tumors flew out like blood spurting out of the human body.

The brown hair on Gawain's forehead was lifted by the strong wind, revealing his broad forehead. In front of him, Bohemond, who had been standing prominently on the tower, disappeared...

Half of the battlements of the Four Sisters Tower were blown up by the second explosion, and hundreds of flesh and blood bodies collapsed to the bottom of the valley, turning into a slippery cliff, which was shocking.

"Lord, Holy Mother!" At this moment, Constance, who was far away in the northeast of the city, saw the second explosion. The mule under her crotch tried to escape in fear, and the servants kept shouting and whipping it with whips, "Is this also normal in troubled times? Respected sleeping officer!" The words of the prince's newlywed wife were in a crying tone. She knew that her husband should have died in this explosion.

Wen Ruomingna also had wide eyes and long lips. Her black hair unique to the Adigai tribe was blown by the strong wind. She looked at the thicker smoke column rising again on the ridge. The smoke column and twisted flames seemed to form a devil. smile.

"I don't know, I really don't know... Zu, because this is definitely not an ordinary sight." Wen Ruomingna murmured to herself.

An hour later, the skirmishers from each brigade with cloth scarves on their helmets shouted and rushed down the fortresses of their respective sieges while carrying ladders to the sound of sharp whistles. They stepped on the charred and smoldering soil at the bottom of the valley. and stumps everywhere, and then put the ladder against the cliff that was artificially blown up, and swarmed upwards to attack and climb.

However, Constance did not guess correctly - Bohemond was covered in blood and his armor was broken. He struggled to hold on to the wall and walked back to the inner hall of the main tower. In front of him, there were fleeing figures everywhere, and people who were constantly burning. The fire that started burned the tapestries, the sculptures, and the Burning the curtain, "You all be careful, you bastards, this is all my property!" At this moment, the sound of the collapse of the house and the neighing of horses were heard outside. Bohemond gasped, knowing The precious racehorses he had painstakingly collected were all gone.

It's over, everything is over.

Gawain's bastard army outside, the unique sound of whistles like knives scraping bones kept coming and going, they were about to attack here.
