NOVEL NEXT Chapter 571
572、The Last Madness
Before the battle, they also collected a lot of information.
For example, the Han army has musket troops and artillery.
But because the Han army has always fought on land.
So they automatically ignored the issue of the artillery being able to pull up the battleship.
This is the solidification of thinking.
Because their previous naval battles have always been deck competitions, this has formed a habit in their minds, as the saying goes, habit becomes natural.
They thought so neatly that naval battles should be fought like this.
“Oh! The artillery of the Han army can knock down the city wall!
“And our ships are all wooden structures…”
“Gods are above, please bless the Han army’s warships without artillery! 35
The four emperors could only pray silently.
However, the messenger soon shattered their last illusions.
“No…. His Majesty the Emperor 037, it’s not good…”
The messenger ran in, rolling and crawling.
“What’s the matter? Did the naval battle come to an end?”
“Come on, what happened? 99
All four emperors asked eagerly.
“The result is, yes… yes… We are defeated, and our Black Sea Fleet has returned more than a thousand ships… The whereabouts of Earl William and Earl Robert are unknown, I am afraid they have already…”
The messenger stammered.
“More than a thousand ships?”
“Impossible! Absolutely impossible! 35
“How is this possible? Before departure, the Black Sea Fleet had more than 8,000 warships!
The four emperors were bleeding from their hearts.
This is equivalent to the loss of seven thousand ships.
Moreover, it is not just as simple as seven thousand ships.
On average, there must be at least 100 people on a boat.
Seven thousand ships, which means that the army of 700,000 is gone!
“What about the Aegean Fleet? 35
“Yes, yes, did our Aegean fleet defeat the Han army’s fleet?
Recovering, John II and Lothair II asked eagerly.
“The Aegean Fleet…all…destroyed, not a single ship came back…”
The messenger’s words became even more turbulent, and he could feel the anger in the hearts of the four emperors in front of him.
“It’s over!”
“It’s all over! 35
“We lost a million troops in this battle!”
“No, we still have a chance! We still have an army of two million, and the Han army is on an expedition of thousands of miles, and we (ceej) are fighting locally, and we still have a chance to win!
Just as the other three emperors lost their confidence, John II howled.
“Yes, yes, we still have two million troops!
“Constantinople is a fortified city, and the artillery of the Han army cannot easily destroy the city wall!
“We can tear down the houses in the city and use it to strengthen the city wall!”
John II’s words played a role, and a glimmer of hope was rekindled in the hearts of Lothair II, Louis VI, and Henry I.
They were right.
Constantinople was a fortified city, and now there are no people in the city, all two million are troops.
Immediately, the four emperors jointly issued an order.
“Brave warriors, the devil from the east killed a million of our kind in vile ways!”
“They tried to bring us down with blood and death, to make us their slaves, and, not just us, but our children, our wives, our relatives…”
“It’s not just a war against infidels, it’s a war to protect family…”
“Go, warriors, don’t want yourself and your family to be bullied and slaughtered, just go and fight!”
“Go, warriors, God has just told me that God will protect you, and victory will be ours!!”
