On August 1, 1014, the siege of Constantinople has lasted for nearly two months. The Norman Empire's series of conquests against Hungary, the Balkans and Greece has passed for more than half a year. Although the beginning was quite smooth, in Constantinople, the Mans' offensive suffered a major setback that inspired the Greeks. Then they became a little fluttered.

After all, the barbarian is still a barbarian. It cannot defeat Constantinople.

Guided by such ideas, small-scale riots began to occur in Greece. Although they were soon shattered by the cavalry stationed in Greece. But if this idea continues to be passed down, it may have an impact on the rule of the Norman Empire.

So, you need to act faster.

Originally, Emperor Egil wanted to make more preparations in a few more days and make the defenders of Constantinople even more relaxed. However, after receiving such a report from Norman spies, the emperor changed his mind and decided to take action on this day.

Late at night, the crescent moon. The dark clouds rolled in the sky, covering the starlight. It was a bit dangerous to dispatch the navy under such circumstances. However, the Black Sea Fleet had already discovered all the nearby routes. So there was no problem at all.

Under the order of Emperor Norman, the Norman army was about to launch a new offensive to break the unfavorable situation of the Constantinople War in the past two months, 40,000 Norman infantry, carrying engineers to work out, covered with cowhides and iron-sheeted parts of the towering siege tower, and light artillery continuously boarded the transport ship. Under the guidance of a batch of specially made and recently completed light sailboats, they advanced towards the direction of Golden Horn.

Except for the small number of troops blocking the Marmara Sea that did not arrive, the rest gathered together, a total of 220 warships surrounded the entire entrance to the Golden Horn Bay!

"Get to act!"

At one o'clock in the morning. When all the ships were in place, on a huge first-class flagship, General Ushakov, commander-in-chief of the Black Sea Fleet, immediately heard a dull horn sound! The ten special clutches at the front of the entire fleet left the array and drove towards the direction of Golden Horn Bay. Some small ships were filled with tiny oil, thatch, sulfur and other flammable materials. In addition, the sailors on the ship also carried huge two-handed battle axes, saws and hammers, which were the props used by Emperor Norman to deal with the chains blocking Golden Horn Bay!

In another world, Mohammed II bribed the Greeks and laid oil on the land. The tactics of pushing warships into the Golden Horn Bay by crossing the iron chains and blocking the warships into the Golden Horn Bay were different. The method of Emperor Man was more barbaric, violent, and powerful. It was to follow the battle between the Western Jin navy and the battle of destroying Wu and breaking the Eastern Wu iron chain Hengjiang. There is a poem to prove it:

The king slandered the boats of Yizhou, and the king's aura of Jinling was sadly gathered. He found the iron chain and sank to the bottom of the river, and a stone fell from the flags.

This time, the Norman Navy raided overnight, but it was a different atmosphere. Countless haystacks soaked in tinder oil on the sea surface were burning violently on the iron chains. Fires outside the Golden Horn Bay soared into the sky! And the iron chains were constantly burning, and after heating, they gradually became softer little by little.

"It's melted! Sure enough, cut off these iron chains!!" The Norman Navy officer on the boat saw that the iron chains were burning red, and knew that the fire was coming. He immediately ordered. So the soldiers first moved the haystack with a spear pole. Then he rowed, and the boat approached. He swung the big axe and hammer and smashed the iron chains violently. In a few seconds, the sailors on the boat took action together. The iron chain was smashed into several sections and quickly sank to the bottom of the water...

In this way, the Norman fleet kept burning and smashing, and quickly destroyed most of the iron chains. Seeing the fleet about to enter the Golden Horn Bay for a while, the Greek fleet in the Golden Horn Bay reacted! Seeing the fire outside, it was a secret cry. The generals of the Eastern Rome, the captains immediately roared, trying to drive the warships out and fight for life and death with the Normans.

However, although all the naval generals were brave, it was impossible to sail for a while because of the previous feint tactics of Emperor Norman and the iron chain blocking tactics of Golden Horn Bay, a group of ordinary Greek sailors believed that they would not become a battlefield. Therefore, the number of sailors willing to spend the night in the narrow and dirty and shaking cabin was less than half of the total crew. More sailors sleep in the barracks in the port, and some went to the prostitutes to spend the night.

After understanding this situation, the general and the officers roared in anger. They asked the sailors around them to hurry up, go ashore, and find their comrades to prepare for battle. However, how could it be done in a while? Then they heard the turmoil in the pier in Golden Horn Bay. The busier the more they were, the more chaotic it became. They couldn't finish it for a moment.

After hearing the noise on the other side, the Man Sailors were also anxious. Some of them tried their best to cut over without waiting for the iron chain to Shaohong. They could completely break the iron chain before the enemy could react and let their own fleet attack.

However, as I said before, the busier the more chaotic the more urgent the more it is, the less it will be. Before the iron chain is burned, the iron chain as thick as a bowl cannot be cut open with manpower alone. The Man Sailors were stunned for a moment. Then their eyes turned red. Without saying a word, they set out their last tricks and rowed back for a while. Then all the sailors paddled together, and the small clutch rushed towards the iron chain like an arrow!

Then I heard a muffled sound of "bang!". The violent vibration made the Norman sailors on the Clippers dizzy. The specially reinforced bow and the iron chain collided with each other, but both sides suffered losses! The iron chain had cracks and a hole was broken. The hull also made an unbearable "crunch" sound.

"Quick! Crash a few more times, and then hit it a few more times!" The sailors on the boat roared, retreated and rushed over and repeated three times. The hull finally couldn't stand the impact force and broke into two sections in the middle with a "crack" sound! However, the iron chain was also broken!

"This is the last iron chain! Long live the Great Emperor Egil!" Many of the sailors who fell into the water fainted due to the impact. Some were involved in the vortex of the shipwreck and could not escape. At the last moment, the sailors cheered loudly! In the end, a total of four small clutches sank. More than fifty Norman sailors were killed. However, all this was worth it! In this battle, the Norman Navy obtained the lead and entered the Golden Horn Bay before the Greek warship was ready!!

"Start! Open fire! Kill them all!!"

Huge Norman battleships entered one after another. When searching and rescuing the still surviving Norman Sailors, they fired violently at the port area opposite Golden Horn Bay! A total of more than 200 Norman battleships were fired on one side, and nearly 800 various naval guns fired together.

Within such a close distance, such dense firepower produced unparalleled power! In an instant, the entire port area became a sea of ​​fire! A large number of sailors on the Greek warships anchored at the port were wiped out in this round of volleys!

"O God!"

Seeing the Normans' artillery, like the arrival of heavenly fire, thunder and lightning instantly destroyed half of the poor Greek warships. The Greek sailors were immediately stunned, whether they were generals or soldiers. Apart from God, Virgin, and Jesus screamed like this, they no longer had any movement! It was just like the shock of the Ross when they were forced back by the Greek fire. But this time it was the Greek turn...

Immediately afterwards, the Norman army's warships were busy for a while. A few minutes later, the second round of side volleys blasted the old wood chips, sails, broken limbs and broken arms flew everywhere. Many warships slowly sank after this round of gunfire. The morale of the Greek navy was completely disintegrated and the ghosts and wolves on the warship jumped to the shore, and the farts on the shore were rolling in the direction of the city wall.

On the city wall not far away, a group of heavy Eastern Roman infantry woke up at this moment. The sound of a cannon was as big as a volley of guns. Unless the dead were dead, they would lie quietly. In fact, after this round of naval cannons, most of Constantinople were in chaos...

"Sir... are we going to help?" Seeing a group of naval soldiers running towards the city wall, some soldiers asked this and then dripped by the commander.

"Help your mother! If you want to be dying, go by yourself! It would be great if we can manage ourselves!"

In this way, a group of nearly 5,000 Eastern Roman troops looked at the port area not far away in panic, and fell into a chaotic port area. Then they saw the Norman transport ships continuously entering the port. A large number of soldiers, the crows were continuously transported and exported from the cabin. When the parts were assembled, they became a siege tower truck. In the eyes, an attacking position appeared in front of these soldiers...

At the same time, in the Constantine Grand Palace, Liliannu quickly jumped off the bed☆The emperors all sleep in harmony with their clothes, so they didn't clean up.

He immediately opened the door and asked to the Imperial Army soldier who was guarding outside, who was also anxious and looked anxious:

"What happened?!" The queen was also confused. The two imperial guards at the door were on duty all night. How could they know what was happening in the direction of Golden Horn Bay? Then the queen reacted and stretched out her hand to stop the two imperial guards from speaking. Then she continued to make great strides and walked towards the door of the bedroom halfway, a messenger rushed over. After seeing Liliannu, she fell to her knees and shouted:

"Queen, the Norman fleet has entered Golden Horn Bay!"

After hearing this news, Liliannu's face turned pale...".)
