lazy tang

Chapter 859
The most controversial place in the world is undoubtedly Jerusalem.For those killers of the Western Expeditionary Army, this is just a rich city.Other than that it's worthless, but for Judaism, Christianity, and Christianity.Jerusalem has endless value!For thousands of years, they all fought for the ownership of this city.

Jinding Temple, Yinding Temple!The towering Mount of Olives!Wailing Wall!Temple Mount!Way of the Cross!One name after another represents the place of belief of one religious believer after another.When these places are gathered together, the power of faith will explode with its cruel side.

In order to fight for the holy city, countless people gave their blood and lives for it.Superstition and sword rule here, and will continue to do so for millennia!
Jerusalem!The most holy land!

Jerusalem!The bloodiest place!
Yun Hao saw a huge red cross on the armor and shield of the knights.

These are the legendary Knights Templar, one of the fiercest knights of the Middle Ages.The three major knight orders in the western world, these people wear heavy armor.Fighting in the name of the gods, they charge with their spears on the battlefield.This is the nightmare of many infantrymen!

It's a pity that these brave knights encountered the army of the Tang Empire, although Yun Hao's subordinates were not the most elite cavalry of the Tang Dynasty.But Yunhao still has a way to deal with them!
The fire that soared into the sky melted their armor.On the former battlefield, there are groups of black marks left behind.It was human oil soaked into the sand, and the smell was very bad.

Fortunately, the wind blows towards Jerusalem, so Yunhao doesn't need to smell the smell of human oil, which is a good thing for Yunhao.

The field battle was lost, and no one came out of Jerusalem.It seems that you want to stick to it with a strong city wall.

Historically, Jerusalem has changed hands many times, and each generation of masters has tried their best to build a city wall that can resist any attack.Therefore, what appeared in front of Yunhao was a city wall ten or twenty feet high.This damn is higher than the city wall of Chang'an City, and it takes a long time to climb up on the ladder.

Yun Hao scratched his head when he saw such a city wall, it was too fucking high.With the construction level of this year, such a high city wall can be built.It also proves that the city wall is fucking thick enough!
After setting up the camp, I heard the sound of chanting in the city.I don't understand what language it is, but the voice is intermittent, as if it is blowing into the ears along with the wind.It felt like someone was humming a ditty, crawling in the ear like a mosquito.Very uncomfortable!
The servant army began to dig the trench, and the excavated soil was piled up on one side, and large stones were irregularly placed on the outside of the trench.These are all magic weapons to deal with cavalry. Yun Hao once used such tactics to successfully contain the Turkic cavalry.Now, using him against the Knights should also work.

Behind the trench, there are many crossbowmen.Although the armor of the Knights is strong, the Datang Qiangnu is not a vegetarian.Today I want to see whether it is the powerful crossbow of the Tang Dynasty or the armor of the knights.

A wind arose at night, and when the wind blew against the walls of Jerusalem.Make a "woo" and "woo" sound, which sounds like a ghost crying.Regardless of the annoying voice, Yun Hao slept well all night wrapped in a blanket.The city has been conquered many times, but every time it was a protracted siege battle.

Datang's Western Expeditionary Army couldn't afford to die so many people, and Yun Hao's old life would be the death of one or two thousand people killed in battle.Tens of thousands of people died in the battle, even if they won the battle and went back, they would be impeached by the censor as a sieve.

The Yun family is not afraid of impeachment by the censor, and the Tang Dynasty has no precedent for deposing a victor.But Yunhao was really afraid of hearing that heart-piercing cry!The woman howled and stopped your horse, and asked you for a son and a husband.Little children slap your carriage and howl for your father.

Ever since the battle in Shuofang City, Yun Hao vowed that he never wanted to hear that voice again.

It was dawn, and the Knights did not launch any night raids.Perhaps they also knew that night raids would not be effective against this team that came from afar.And it will greatly kill their sneak attack team!

The siege began, and the only two guns were pushed out.The range of the artillery is five miles, but Yunhao is not sure.Can the trebuchets at the top of the city of Jerusalem attack the artillery with the advantage of height?

The distance of five miles is definitely the maximum range of the artillery, above this range.It can ensure that the projectile is launched, but it is very difficult to hit the target accurately.

Although it was difficult to hit the target, Yunhao still ordered the artillery to fire at this distance.

With a loud bang, the shells roared and flew towards the city wall.The smashed stones hit the city wall and the gunpowder smoke filled the air, but Yunhao found it sadly after the gunpowder smoke passed.The shells just made a small hole in the city wall, even if every shell hit the same point.If you want to gnaw through this city wall, you need the spirit of Yugong Yishan.

Yun Hao didn't want to be Yu Gong, so he had no choice but to move the cannon forward.Hope to attack the city gate!
As soon as the artillery moved forward for less than a mile, many black objects were thrown down on the city wall.These black things can actually explode, but fortunately these things are farther away from the artillery.However, the air wave from the explosion still threw a gunner over.

It seems that the cannibals also haven't learned how to keep technology secret.The secret of gunpowder is probably no longer a secret in the West.Thankfully, the production process of nitro gunpowder is too complicated.The cannibal spies didn't steal it, otherwise Datang would have no advantage at all in front of them.

The artillery was withdrawn, and Yun Hao looked at Jerusalem in the distance and began to feel sad.

Yun Hao was reluctant to fill it with people.Although there are many people in Datang, the lives of people in Datang are precious.It must not be pushed into this kind of flesh and blood mill for grinding!
Dig a tunnel!It's true that so many people don't need to die, but God knows how thick the walls of Jerusalem are.Besides, it would take at least ten days and a half a month to dig the tunnel.Yun Hao didn't have the time to ink with them here.

This is even more impossible when the food in their city is clean.Supplies in this ghost place are very difficult, and the food in the city is not clean. I am afraid that the Tang army outside the city may have starved to death.

Neither this nor that, Yunhao is like a cat looking at the small dried fish hanging high above.No matter how much you jump, you can't reach your favorite food.

"Let the airship go up and have a look!" Helpless Yun Hao could only let the airship investigate first, to see what kind of monster the city wall of Jerusalem is.

In order to ensure the effectiveness of the investigation, Yun Hao boarded the airship himself.These days there are no anti-aircraft guns and no anti-aircraft missiles.It is basically impossible to shoot down the airship flying in the sky.

It was only when Yun Hao got on the airship that he could see clearly. He saw the deep despair.The city of Jerusalem can accommodate two horse-drawn carriages at the same time.This is only the top of the city, if it is replaced by the bottom.Yunhao didn't even dare to imagine how thick that was!
After flying over Jerusalem, Yunhao finally understood.It turns out that inside the gates of Jerusalem, there is also an urn for his mother.Even if the Tang people blasted the city gate open with artillery, the army that rushed in would be blocked by the urn city.

When the army is there, it is like going to a slaughterhouse.Especially now that gunpowder weapons are flooding, those who rush in and come back alive are definitely lucky.

Yun Hao scratched his head and thought for a long time, but he couldn't figure out what to do.
