Chapter 61: The Day the City of Naples Was Broken

Since Frederick, the great boy, supported the battlefield on the Northern Front, Egil no longer worried that the coalition forces would still have more than 70,000. In addition, his 100,000 mobilized troops, there were nearly 200,000. The Eastern Roman army on the Northern Front was estimated to be the same as this number. After the battle with Frederick, even if he won, there would be no casualties. Then he would be his own chance to save the world. In this way, Bologna, Naples, and Venice won three consecutive battles and defeated Eastern Rome. Then his prestige was basically set. In addition, Frederick's tragedy, he went to Rome and asked the Pope to crown himself an emperor or something.

Egil thought so and did the same. Although the other commanders in the coalition had to express their anxiety about the battle between the two Romes in the Venetian generation. However, Egil had a peaceful attitude and a relaxed tone. He replied in one sentence: "What are you panic? There is His Majesty Frederick." The other monarchs had also vaguely heard about the conflict between the two people, so they did not say more.

In this way, Egil calmed down again and directed the coalition forces to attack Naples fiercely. He divided more than 70,000 troops into three teams, each with more than 20,000 people, and each siege lasted eight hours.

After three days of continuous attacks day and night, the Eastern Roman army was inexplicably caused the soldiers to die of exhaustion. It was not until the evening of the fourth day that Egil ordered the siege to stop the siege. Looking at the withdrawn coalition army, many Eastern Roman soldiers could no longer hold on and fell to the ground.

Huhu fell asleep. Narcis, who had been commanding the battle for three days, couldn't hold on. After ordering the adjutant to arrange a guard post for him, he also lie in a corner and fall asleep.

However, the adjutant thought that his side was still so tired to defend the city. The other side had been sieging the city for more than three days in a row. Of course, he would have to be more tired than our army. Therefore, he didn't care. After setting up some posts randomly, he also found a place to sleep.

Even the officers of Eastern Rome thought so. Then the Eastern Rome soldiers were naturally even more serious. The soldiers who were selected as sentinels only supported them for a while, and then fell asleep.

So, at two o'clock in the morning, when normal people should have slept the most. Egil assembled more than 40,000 full-blown soldiers and brought all the oil and pots collected in the past few days. The Norman engineer quickly structured the catapult. Then he stuffed the pot with flammable materials such as tinder oil, sulfur, etc. with large burning rags. The simple combust bomb made in this way was thrown out...

As mentioned before, the outer slope walls are basically made of wooden structures and can be used as a burning medium.

Therefore, under the attack of the sulphur bomb, it had become a sea of ​​fire in an instant.

Because the incident happened so suddenly, most Eastern Roman soldiers were still sleeping when the first round of Norman Cats fired. Therefore, they didn't have time to react. When they opened their eyes again, they were already in a sea of ​​fire...

"Has I gone to hell?! God, I did nothing wrong, please mercy on my sins ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

The Eastern Roman soldiers were panicked, and some even thought they were dead. They were placed in the flames hell by God. They couldn't help but burst into tears and cry loudly.

"Don't leave! Put out the fire! Water it quickly and put out the fire! Get up quickly! It's the Normans who have siege the city!!"

Of course, there were also some clear-headed people in the Eastern Roman army. They shouted and ran to the wells they had dug together with the construction of the outer city walls. They wanted to get water to put out the fire. Some people were extremely nervous and grabbed their weapons and formed an array at the gap.

A nervous and uneasy face was reflected in the fire.

However, the number of such people is really small. Moreover, the water source temporarily brought to the well cannot extinguish the flames with oil lighter than water. Drop buckets of water on it, which makes the fire more fierce.

"Use soil! You idiots! Stop watering again!!" At this moment, Narcis, who was also extremely embarrassed, roared like an idiotically-fighting fire, and ordered.

However, Egil didn't want to give him this opportunity.

"Success Squad, charge!" Seeing that the Eastern Roman army was in a sudden chaos, Egil immediately gave an order, and the coalition suicide squads, who were pre-selected by Egil, who were first selected after the city was broken, roared and rushed towards the gap that had been smashed before.

Eastern Rome was suddenly burned by fire, and then was dressed up strangely, howling strangely (Egil ordered them not to speak well) and the enemy who was suspected to be a demon was attacked by the long axe. The morale dropped to the extreme in an instant. Some people even cried and said, "The gate of hell is open! Shi Dan brings his army to attack us!" Such words, and then ran aimlessly.

...Okay! The city of Naples is broken!" Egil shouted. The dark night was shining like day by the huge burning fire in Naples.

Immediately afterwards, Egil immediately ordered the remaining troops to shovel the soil and put out the fire. After the fire was slightly smaller, several passages were left empty, most of the coalition forces rushed into the city. The battle situation was no longer suspense. The Eastern Roman soldiers fled in scattered, and Narcis originally wanted to lead the defenders to retreat into the inner city to continue to resist.

However, in such a chaotic situation, it is probably a sad scene where the retreating soldiers blocked the city gate after the defeat of the Battle of Naples a few days ago. This time, there will be no Valangi people to help him.

"God, how cruel you are to me, that I was defeated twice in a row by the same opponent in such a short time?!" Narcis lamented like this, then threw down his sword and shield and gave up his resistance. After a while, two soldiers in Latin ran to him. Seeing Narcis motionless, they stood there on the spot. They thought this guy was frightened. Seeing that he was wearing a noble man on his body, they immediately became excited. The two of them started to fight together, knocked Narcis to the ground, and then took out a rope to tie Narcis. From beginning to end, Narcis remained motionless and did not resist.

In this way, the Eastern Roman soldiers lost their commander. No one could command them, remind them, and inspire them.

The Eastern Roman army could no longer organize decent resistance, nor did they intend to organize decent resistance. The vast majority of Eastern Roman soldiers did not resist like Narcis after being captured by the coalition forces. A small number of those who fought desperately were easily destroyed because they were too small...

Naples declared fall.

Egil entered Naples at dawn. Although his intelligence director Nemulis warned that the city of Naples was very chaotic and there were sporadic resistance. Perhaps there would be danger. Egil didn't care at all.

"Since you say that, then you will be responsible for Yu's safety. If something goes wrong, it's your responsibility. Well, it's better to be sentenced to death." Egil's half-joking words made Nemulis sweat and dared not speak anymore.

But then, Egil regretted it a little.

Because the current situation of Naples is indeed not suitable for people to come here to travel. Safety issues are indeed one aspect, but more importantly, the status here is disgusting.

Corpse, corpse, and charred corpse. The upper body is kept intact, the lower body is kept intact, the upper body is kept intact, the upper body is charred corpse. The corpse that was chopped into meat sauce is cut into meat segments. The corpse that was cut off from the head is left with only the forehead and head.

The air was filled with a strong, bloody smell and burnt smell. In addition, there was a smell of sweat, horse urine, and other messy smells.

Egil almost vomited.

At the same time, the soldiers had already begun the massacre operation. Perhaps this was the real source of what Nemulis called "sporadic resistance". The Greeks in despair, as well as other races, North Africans, Northern Italy, and Ross, picked up everything around them that could be used as weapons. Egil even saw from a burnt ruin that a desperate Greek woman cried and rushed towards the fully armed professional Viking warrior with a wooden comb. She was finally pushed to the ground by the laughing Normans, and then tore her clothes and prepared to humiliate her.

Egil frowned and deliberately put down the horse chew. Then he hit the horse's back hard. The horse started to scream in pain. The Viking warrior heard the Viking warrior turn his head suddenly, but saw that it was his own king Egil. He quickly raised the salute, blushing as if he was a monkey's butt, and was embarrassed to death.

"I'm so sorry to disturb you. I'll leave immediately, casually, casually." Egil waved his hand and said, urging the horse to leave at the same time. Then the Viking warrior turned around and saw that the woman had no idea where she had run...

"Unfortunate." The Viking warrior cursed quietly, and then ran to other places for fun.

Afterwards, Egil was still walking on the streets of Naples as if nothing had happened, walking aimlessly. Afterwards, Alpha, the captain of the Death Knights beside him, hesitated for a moment, and then asked: "Master, you have agreed to the slaughter of the city for ten days." "Oh, that's just a prank. It has no special meaning." Egil looked ahead and answered with ease without caring about it.
