Galata is isolated outside the main city of Constantinople, across the Golden Horn waterway.
It is a place where foreign businessmen gather.
The Constantinople City Hall manages Galata very effectively.
The daily patrols of the City Guards have never been interrupted.
Usually, there are still patrols late at night, but tonight, the patrols of the City Guards seem to have disappeared.
The enemies did not delay for too long.
The cry of killing and the sound of a large number of weapons were heard from the front door of the commercial bank office.
This kind of small-scale battle no longer required Zhao Ziliang's personal command.
The commander Liang Zhenwu naturally began to deploy troops for defense.
Zhao Ziliang again Sitting on a chair, fanning slowly with a cattail leaf fan, his face was calm and unaffected.
Dugujun, Liu Dan, Wan Qingming and others felt relieved when they saw that Zhao Ziliang was not panicking at all, and sat down slowly.
Zhang Bi and Zhang Huchen stood behind Zhao Ziliang holding waist knives.
Taoist priest Qingsong held a fly whisk and sat next to Zhao Ziliang.
Said: "Your Majesty, the old Taoist has made a fortune, I'm afraid tonight will be a sleepless night."
"Ha, luckily it's just a sleepless night, not a sleepless night.
You know that in the eyes of these little guys, I am an old man.
It would be a very bad thing for an old man to not sleep well."
After Zhao Ziliang finished speaking, he waved his hand: "Get out, the weather is hot, bring a pot of hot tea to help you sweat."
A Western slave girl came forward and took away the uneaten watermelon.
Another slave girl brought tea sets, water and a charcoal stove and placed them on the stone table to boil water and make tea.
Zhao Ziliang shook the cattail leaf fan, pointed in the direction of the door and said to everyone: "Listen, this noise is quite big.
These guys who are attacking are really serious.
Listen to the momentum of this roar, there are many highly skilled people among them.
If They have a man with Zhang Huchen’s skill, and we, the 200 Dragon Guard soldiers, will be in trouble.”
Dugujun turned to look at Zhang Huchen, then turned back to Zhao Ziliang and said: "Sir, how many brave men like Captain Zhang are there in the world?
Even if there are such people among the invading enemies, there are two generals Zhang here. , I’m afraid I won’t be able to deal with it.”
Zhao Ziliang took the tea that had been brewed from the slave girl and said: "Don't underestimate the heroes of the world.
We have warriors in Western Qin, and not all of them in Eastern Rome are idiots.
With such a big land and so many subjects, how can we just...
I can’t find many skilled people.”
While he was talking, a soldier walked over quickly with his sword in hand and reported to Zhao Ziliang: "Sir, there are many enemies, but the brothers formed a formation and blocked the door.
The enemies rushed many times and still couldn't rush in.
The enemies who rushed in were all.
It has turned into a corpse and is about to block the door."
People outside the gate were densely packed with weapons and kept stepping on the corpses and rushing towards the gate.
Some people tripped over the corpses and rolled down before they rushed up.
Some people turned into corpses and rolled down as soon as they rushed up.
Some people persisted for a while before changing.
The body rolled down.
These people were wearing all kinds of clothes, some were wearing ordinary civilian clothes, some were wearing hunting clothes, some were wearing animal skins; they were carrying all kinds of weapons, including big swords, machetes, long knives, etc.
There are spears, spears, bows and arrows, and maces; these people even come from different races, but there is no doubt that most of them are mercenaries.
They have no intention of concealing their appearance.
Thinking If you take other people's money, you are employed by others, and you have to work hard for your employer.
This is a very simple truth.
All mercenaries understand it very well, and these mercenaries are in the business of licking blood with the tip of a knife.

They understand this better, so there is no need to hide their identity.
If the mission is successful and they are not dead yet, no one will definitely cause trouble for them.
If the mission fails, they will probably die, so there is no need to conceal their identity.
A group of more than a dozen men in black were standing under the eaves of a house across the street outside the gate.
These men in black were all wearing black night clothes and had metal masks on their faces.
There was a man in black in the middle wearing a black cloak. , all wrapped up in a cloak, with a hood covering his head, and the metal mask on his face being the most ugly and vicious, this man is obviously the leader of this group of men in black.
A man in black next to him bent over and said to the leader: "Sir, although money can do many things, its power is not infinite.
The villain has tried his best, but he can only make the city guards responsible for this block disappear for two days. hours, no matter the result, they will appear in two hours.
So, we only have two hours, and we can’t set fire yet.
If we set fire, the fire will be It is difficult to control.
This is the most important commercial area.
Most of Constantinople's commercial tax revenue comes from here.
Once the fire is difficult to control, the fire brigade will appear, which will alert the empire's top officials.
Setting a fire is tantamount to burning down the empire.
Money bag, when things get too big and no one can handle it, if we really piss off the senior management, we will become street rats and will be hunted down for the rest of our lives."
Killers don't care about diplomacy or international relations.
They only care about their own interests.
Most of them have no national or national concepts in their hearts.
Even if the Eastern Roman Empire is destroyed, they will continue to be their killers and kill people.
They want to make money, so they don’t care about the impact and consequences of killing the Western Qin merchants, but once their own interests are involved, they We have to make trade-offs.
For example, we cannot set fire to this commercial area, so as not to cause too much damage to the empire and attract endless pursuit by the empire.
They all know that for those of them who are doing illegal killings, they are afraid of the government.
Once the government becomes serious, the resources of the entire empire's violent institutions will be mobilized for this case.
Even if they have extraordinary abilities, they will not be able to escape the government's pursuit.
The leader of the man in black has a thin sword hanging on his waist and a staff in his hand.
The main material of the staff is not known to be made of wood.
It has been rubbed smooth and shiny.
The head of the staff It is an evil dark golden black dragon sculptured from an unknown metal.
The dark golden black dragon has two horns on its head and its eyes are inlaid with rubies.
The sound of "two hours" seemed to have been deliberately changed, as if the throat was broken, and it sounded mind-numbing.
"It seems we don't have much time.
The guards of the Qin's caravan all look like they are soldiers.
They have arranged this weird formation to block the gate.
We want to rush in within a short time.
Difficulty, go and make arrangements.
Divide everyone into four parts, climb over the wall from the four directions of southeast, northwest and attack in.
Once you rush in, kill everyone you see.
I don’t want to live.”
"Yes, my lord" Under the arrangement of the deputy of the man in black, these temporarily recruited mercenaries were quickly divided into four parts, each led by a man in black and began to climb over the wall.
"Swish, swish, swish", the iron hooks tied with ropes were thrown towards the wall of the Qin's Commercial Bank office in the darkness, and the iron hooks made a clanging sound when they hit the wall.
When the captains of the Dragon Guards in the courtyard saw it, they shouted: "No, they are really going to climb over the wall to attack.
Brothers, please pay attention and prepare to fight."
The Dragon Guard soldiers, with a team of ten as a combat unit, had already arranged a defensive and counterattack formation, and they immediately concentrated on the captains' reminder.
With the help of iron hooks and ropes, the mercenaries outside pulled the ropes up to the top of the wall and flew down.
However, they soon fell into the military formation, and screams were heard again and again.

The mercenaries who had just started to climb over They suffered heavy casualties, but it was precisely because of the heavy casualties of this group of people that they bought time for the mercenaries behind them.
During the period, as more and more mercenaries climbed over the wall and entered the courtyard to join the battle, the mercenaries used their absolute strength advantage to make up for their lack of combat effectiveness.
The more than 600 mercenaries were three times the number of the Dragon Guards, and the mercenaries were Attack, they adjust the offensive plan and the strength of the offensive forces in all directions at any time.
In less than half an hour, most of the mercenaries outside had climbed over the wall and entered the courtyard.
The deputy of the man in black reported to the leader: "Most of these mercenaries have rushed into the courtyard and the guards of Qin's Trading Company."
They were fighting together, and there were more than a hundred people left outside.
These people were used to guard the inside and outside, on the one hand to prevent external forces from causing trouble, and on the other hand to prevent targeted people from escaping from the yard."
The leader of the men in black nodded and said: "Very good, pass on the order and ask them to speed up.
I don't care about the casualties or life and death of these mercenaries.
I just want to kill everyone inside in the shortest possible time."
"Yes, my lord" No matter what the battle situation was or how brutal the fighting was, Zhao Ziliang remained unmoved at all.
He drank tea and closed his eyes to listen to the cries of killing coming from everywhere.
The slave girl who was boiling water and making tea and several slave girls standing nearby turned pale and trembling with fear.
The woman who made tea shook her hand and dropped the lid of the teapot and broke it.
Qin Zipeng, who was standing nearby, was worried.
This incident aroused Zhao Ziliang's displeasure.
He immediately stepped forward and kicked her leg, causing the slave girl to scream and curse: "Trash, you are no longer needed here.
Get out of here.
You all go to the room and hide until this matter is over."
I’ll take care of you later” Several female slaves crawled into the room behind them and hid under the beds, shivering.
Zhao Ziliang waved his hand to Qin Zipeng and said: "Women have never experienced this kind of battle, so it is normal to be afraid, so don't punish them."
"yes" Zhang Bi, who was guarding Zhao Ziliang, said: "Sir, these invading enemies seem to be mercenaries active in the West.
These people have no moral integrity.
As long as they are given money, they can serve for anyone.
Not only have they fought with the regular army, they have also fought against each other.
They also fight among themselves, and sometimes they also protect people and go into the mountains to suppress bandits.
In short, as long as it is something that requires the use of force, they are involved.
People like Ying have little cooperation in overall combat, but they often form a small group.
The small group cooperates tacitly in combat and has very strong combat effectiveness.
They have all experienced hundreds of battles.
The only shortcoming is that the equipment is not sophisticated enough and they are not strong enough.
Unify.
Looking at their numbers, they are almost three times ours.
The situation is not in our favour.
The casualties among our brothers are quite high
