After much deliberation and meditation, Li Lu and his senior officers decided to create an ancient miracle.Late on the night of the day the plan was carried out, eighty light warships of the Royal Navy of the British Empire bypassed the chain blockade at the mouth of the Golden Horn and approached the shores of Galatia.The British engineering units then towed the boat to shore with the aid of animals such as elephants and bullocks, and five-day steam tractors.Then Li Lu mobilized thousands of migrant workers and more than 10,000 prisoners of war to pave a road with thick wooden planks on the land of more than ten kilometers from Galatia to the Golden Horn, and coated a large amount of butter, mutton fat and even whale oil on the surface of the board to reduce friction.Then the British engineering units hauled eighty ships through fields, hills, and forests to the shores of the Golden Horn.When it was almost dawn, the ships were launched, arranged in a pontoon bridge, and forts were built.The British soldiers crossed the pontoon bridge and launched a new attack on Constantinople.This fleet descended from the sky like a divine army, and the Eastern Roman army defending the city was greatly surprised.Anatacius hurriedly drew his forces from the nearby defenders of the Adiriado Gate to resist.The gatekeeper was none other than the newly promoted centurion Storis, who said to Anatacius: "Your Majesty, the British attacked the Golden Horn in order to attract our troops.Our defenses are scattered, and they are taking advantage of the situation to break the city!
”Anatacius said: "I know what you say, Stories, but the walls of the Golden Horn are not high, and the defense is difficult, so how can we do it without strengthening our strength?"
Didn't four Lombard reinforcements come from the Italian province a few days ago, let them guard the city gates!
”Seeing that Anatassius said this, Stoorys led his soldiers to the Golden Horn.Anatacius personally commanded the counterattack.The British shells rained down on Anatacius's surroundings, and several bowl-sized stones almost hit him.Several Eastern Roman officers advised him: "Your Majesty, get out of here quickly, as long as you are there, the Romans have hope of recovering their country!"
”These officers were staunch anti-British, and in their view, if Richard, the British prince with the blood of the Iraqi royal family, ascended to the throne of the Eastern Roman Empire, then the Eastern Roman Empire would not be their Roman country.Anatasius, a representative of the anti-British faction, was equally excited, and he said with tears in his eyes: "I will never leave you, and I hope you will never leave me!"
I am determined to die with you!
”Anatacius's oath and determination greatly boosted the confidence of the soldiers defending the city, and Stolis ran from place to place, organizing forces to resist, they pointed steel knives and long swords, hid in the shadows of the city walls, and repeatedly drove out the British troops who entered Constantinople through street battles, which made the British army, which was far superior to the opponent in terms of numbers and weapons and equipment, unable to conquer the castle for three days in a row.Li Lu saw that he could not capture the city, so he went to the front line in person and rode his horse to observe the battle situation.Finding that the resistance to the Adiriapol Gate was weak, he immediately mobilized ten heavy artillery pieces to bombard them continuously, and finally opened a gap in the city wall.The Lombard mercenaries defending this place were not familiar with the terrain and terrain, and they were so panicked that they didn't know what to do.At this moment, Li Lu said loudly to his soldiers: "We have opened the gap, this is the capital of ancient Rome, the center of the Western world, take Constantinople, we can say that we have conquered the Western world!"
Now, tie torches to your spears and dash into the city!
”At his instigation, a large number of British soldiers launched a fierce attack from the sea and land.The Lombard mercenaries defending the Adiria Gate could not resist and immediately boarded their ships and fled.The British army took advantage of the situation to break through the gap and rushed into the city.By this time Storice had already been killed in battle, and Anatacius, seeing the flag of the British army flying over the city, immediately lost his courage, hurriedly took off the emperor's clothes, and fled by the way.On the way, he saw several British soldiers looting the mansion of Aeschylus, the former anti-British core figure, and stabbing them to the ground one by one with their swords.When he was about to get out, He Zhihua suddenly appeared in front of him with someone, "Anatassius, don't go, you can't leave......"
Because of He Zhihua's appearance, Anatassius was stunned for a moment, "Dos Santos, you, did you take refuge in the British?"
You traitor, do you know that you are the nobles of Rome, the chosen people of God?
”Seeing He Zhihua, oh no, it should be the Count of Dos Santos of the Eastern Roman Empire who was wearing the uniform of a British army officer, and Anatacius's mouth couldn't be closed."
Hahaha, dos Santos?
The nobility of the Roman Empire?
Hahaha, Anatassius, do you see this military uniform I'm wearing?
”He Zhihua laughed when he heard this, he pointed to his officer, and then said, "Anatacius, let me tell you the truth, my real name is He Zhihua, and I am an intelligence officer of the British Empire......
As far as the bullshit title of the Roman Empire is concerned, I really don't think about it......"
I heard the true identity of He Zhihua, Anatasius, the first person in the history of Eastern Rome to be breached in the capital, and it is possible that the emperor was very shocked, he did not want to be captured, so he resisted desperately."
I, Anatacius, Emperor of the Roman Empire, the glory and pride of the Romans tell me that even if I die, I will die on the way to the charge......"
Anatacius, brandishing his long sword and shouting the slogan of the charge, launched a final charge against the powerful enemy.Seeing that the emperor of Eastern Rome was stubborn and insisted on resisting, the highest officer of the British army present, well, that is, He Zhihua, did not hesitate to give the order to fire, and then several bullets accurately hit Anatacius's heart and forehead, and then the hero who got the throne from the Eastern Roman melee fell very unwillingly.With the destruction of the British army, those pro-British elements who were seriously suppressed by Anatacius, suddenly became active, and they incarnated as the leading party, and took over the defense of Constantinople with the king in their hearts.Looking at the majestic Sun Palace, Li Lu and Richard were wearing purple dragon robes that symbolized the royal identity, and the two of them held a grand ceremony in the Sun Palace Square, in this ceremony called Zhu Jie, which was actually a deterrent by force, in full view, Li Lu personally put the crown symbolizing the Roman emperor on the head of his son Richard, and then explained a few words to Richard, so Richard nominally restored the Iraqi Dynasty.
