People in Constantinople suddenly discovered that at some point, a large number of dotted lights appeared above their heads.
"The true God has come, the true God has come!"
Someone shouted loudly, and others looked up at the night sky, crossed themselves on their chests, and prayed devoutly.
The Oriental army is pressing down on the border, and the whole city is in panic. A miracle can effectively boost people's hearts at this time, but...
The first spark appeared, like a falling star, flying across the dark night sky towards the people who were praying sincerely.
Boom!
Without any precautions, high-energy bombs filled with yellow gunpowder exploded over the city. At that moment, it was like daylight.
Within fifty steps from the explosion point, there were countless casualties and wailing.
It was good to be closer, there was no pain when walking away, and before I even figured out what was going on, I only saw a flash of white light, as if the true god had come, and then he was taken away by the true god.
Those who didn't die on the spot were more miserable. They were hit by flying shrapnel, gravel, wood blocks and other objects. The lighter ones had broken skin and bones, and the heavier ones were missing arms and legs. They were lying on the ground howling in pain. Their condition was extremely
awful.
However, this is just the beginning.
The second one, the third one, the fourth one...
The meteors fell one after another and then exploded, taking away countless lives.
As the explosions continued to sound, the entire Constantinople was filled with smoke, ghosts were crying, and wolves were howling, just like a hell on earth.
This was a crushing battle. Faced with the sudden justice coming from heaven, the defenders in the city could not even find the enemy and had no target to counterattack.
The swords, crossbows, and fire guns in their hands have all become decorations, because the only sight in their field of vision is the twinkling stars floating in the sky. When these stars fall, death will come.
The first batch had a total of 200 Kongming lanterns and carried 200 high-explosive bombs. Due to the unstable air flow above, only about 70% of them reached the target area as planned, which was still enough to completely destroy Constantinople.
However, this is only the first round.
Mei Chun led a group of people and kept observing the wind strength and direction.
"The wind is stable, the wind direction is stable, the wind speed is stable, you can continue to attack!"
Beilin immediately ordered: "Second round, let go!"
Soon, another two hundred sky lanterns rose slowly and flew towards Constantinople.
Tong Xuan nervously locked the lead, then checked it back and forth. After confirming that it was correct, he asked Beilin for instructions.
"Fat man's inspection is complete, please let him go!"
Beilin looked at the big guy like an iron pot, couldn't help but frown, and asked: "Are you sure there is no problem?"
"OK, checked three times!"
"It's best to check it again. If something goes wrong with this thing, our Academy of Sciences will be in trouble!"
Tong Xuan thought for a while and said: "Okay, let's check again!"
Beilin waved her hand at Mei Chun: "You should go and have a look too!"
Everyone was careful, checked repeatedly, and once again confirmed that everything was correct, the fat man was finally allowed to fly.
The huge Kongming Lantern slowly rose, bringing this big guy into the sky.
Tong Xuan couldn't help but said: "Don't go astray!"
This thing was jointly developed through the efforts of all the students of the Academy of Sciences. If successful, it will herald a new level of Ming Dynasty's aerial firepower.
If it fails... there's nothing you can do about it, new technology allows failure.
Without repeated failures, there would be no current success.
Under everyone's gaze, the fat man rose up with the wind and set off towards his destination.
At this time, Constantinople was in devastation after two rounds of bombings.
The defenders and people in the city suffered heavy casualties, and most of them lost their lives before they even had time to think.
When everyone reacted, they all looked for nearby buildings, hid deep in the house, and then began to pray. If they were lucky, they might be able to escape.
Topkapi Palace was also bombed to pieces. Fortunately, the stone of this palace was relatively thick, and King Muhad hid in a secret room and survived.
"finished?"
The commander in charge of the guard listened to the movement outside with fear and said, "It seems... it has stopped."
Muhad took a long breath. Who would have thought that the Orientals really attacked from the sky!
This battle was really frustrating. Ever since the two armies fought, they haven't gotten the slightest advantage.
The frontal artillery was too powerful and couldn't hit it. It was stuck in the city and couldn't come out. People flew in directly.
What a slap in the face!
He really wanted to go out of town and take action. If he continued this battle, he would die sooner or later. What was the point of continuing to persist?
After this battle, Constantinople was almost reduced to ruins. Unless the Ming army ran out of ammunition, they could only wait to die.
The door to the secret room opened, and the guard commander walked out carefully. He needed to confirm whether the enemy's offensive was still there.
However, what surprised him was that it was midnight and there was light above his head.
The moonlight cannot be so bright. Could it be that the sun has come out?
He slowly raised his head, and then, a magical scene appeared.
"Your Majesty the King!"
The guard commander said in a panic: "God, true God..."
"What true god?"
"The true God has arrived!"
"here we go again?"
Muhad was so frightened that he quickly hid deep in the secret room.
The commander of the guards hurried forward and said: "Your Majesty, the true God has appeared, we are saved!"
Muhad then realized something was wrong and asked: "Isn't it an Oriental bomb?"
"No, look at it. It's a very bright light. It's the true God coming to save us!"
Muhad looked at him suspiciously, and couldn't help but secretly thought, if the true god came, why didn't he come earlier, when everyone was almost killed by the bombing, why did he come now?
The guard commander said sincerely: "Your Majesty, please believe me, it is really a miracle. Go out and have a look!"
Muhad thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll just trust you once!"
After finishing speaking, he followed the guard commander out of the secret room, but saw a light outside.
Looking up, a fireball appeared in the sky, even brighter than the moon.
Everyone in the city saw the miracle and knelt down to pray involuntarily.
Their attitude was very pious, hoping that God could drive away the demons from the east and restore order to Constantinople.
Muhad secretly thought that the fire was too bright, and the Ming army's bombs were all dotted, which was indeed very different.
Is it really a miracle?
He was the monarch of the Ottoman Empire, but he did not believe in gods.
Of course, this is not important. What is important is to make the military and civilians believe it.
The gods of any sect, no matter what their names, are just tools in the hands of the rulers.
But what is this fire if not a miracle?
Could it be...
Thinking of this, he suddenly felt cold in his heart.
If the gods hadn't come to this world, there would be only one possibility left...
