Chapter 1327 The premiere of "The Kingdom of Heaven" (13) Seeking the Moon(1/2)
Lusalem was surrounded by hundreds of thousands of legions of Saladin. Facing the city of Jerusalem, which had been formally in the army, whether it was Saladin's subordinates or Saladin himself, who had always been cautious, he was very relaxed. @度@度@度@度度度度度度*uCm In their opinion, such a city is really no different from an empty city. The next day or just a little time can realize the ambition that Muslims have been looking forward to for a hundred years.
This is also Saladin's ideal for the rest of his life. The ideal is so close to him that the old man with gray hair showed a bright smile on his face.
The morale of the Muslims is high, and in the city of Jerusalem, the people who guard the city are also united. Badian has completely become the spiritual leader of the entire city. Under his leadership, the Jerusalem people are united and work together. At this moment, the princess also repents that she should not give up the throne to Guy, as it would be directly equivalent to destroying the kingdom of Jerusalem.
She looked at her lover, and her originally decayed heart became brighter again. For this poor woman, Badian had become the light of her life and the light of redemption.
The existence of this man can help her life without any bright colors find the meaning of survival. And this is enough.
It was dawn. After a night of preparation, when the sun rose, Jerusalem entered the most intense moment in a century. Since the Crusaders seized the city from the Muslims more than a hundred years ago, such a huge siege has never happened. Now, a hundred years later, time flies, and the roles of both sides have been exchanged. This time, it is time for Muslims to collect debts.
Outside the city of Jerusalem, Muslims stretched out in great depths, flags flew, and weapons to siege the city were even erected under the city, and they could attack at any time. Muslims were so motivated that Saladin looked at the city wall and the crusading flag fluttering in the wind on the wall, and a sarcastic smile appeared on his face. In his eyes, the flag would fall forever in a while.
King Gay of Jerusalem appeared in front of the two armies. When this arrogant and domineering king appeared in front of the front, it caused a burst of huge ridicule.
He was tied with his arms behind his back, sitting naked on the back of a donkey, wearing a high paper hat on his head. This is the most popular method for the people of Jerusalem to fool people, and the worst method.
It was just an insult to Guy, and it was even more an insult to the entire Kingdom of Jerusalem. But this was also helpless.
The Muslim army was out of the ground, which made the Crusaders unable to raise their heads. But Badian looked at the Muslims under the city, and his face showed an extremely determined look.
"Jerusalem. Listen. Your main force has been destroyed by us. Now Jerusalem is a siege city. If you surrender obediently, you can be treated leniently. Otherwise, a real city will be transformed into scorched earth! Kill without mercy!" A Muslim warrior held a crescent flag high and shouted loudly under the city.
The Muslims were laughing, but as they smiled, their faces became stiff. Because they saw the warrior fall off his horse and an arrow was inserted into his forehead.
There were bursts of cheers coming from the city of Jerusalem. Badian smiled with a bow and arrow on the city. This arrow immediately made the morale of the people of Jerusalem completely explode.
"Siege!" Saladin could no longer hold back when watching the battleground. He issued an order for the general attack. Hundreds of thousands of troops siege the city together. The tall siege siege siege and siege hammers rumbled forward. The Muslim army and the land clamped the city wall one by one, and rows of people flocked to the ground.
The next shot shocked everyone with its magnificent momentum, causing the entire square to fall into unprecedented excitement.
It is not rare to siege in Hollywood movies, but there are only a few large-scale siege battles like this. There are many shouts of killing on the screen, and the Muslim army is in high morale and bravely fighting to the death. The Crusaders naturally resist with their lives. Badian led his men to repel the Muslim attacks again and again with bows and arrows, boiling oil, and stones. Under the city of Jerusalem, a sea of blood became a sea of blood. Although the Muslims were numerous and powerful, their attacks were very fierce, they still could not take a step on the top of the city.
The smile on Saladin's face was gone. Instead, it was unprecedentedly severe. As a commander who had been through many battles, the war in front of him made him understand more than anyone else that there was a very excellent commander on the other side, otherwise the city of Jerusalem would have been conquered long ago.
The war lasted for a long time, and the Muslims were not allowed to retreat temporarily in the end. Their losses were very serious and their morale had completely fallen.
In the first round of the fight between the two sides, although neither side hurt his vitality, the result was obvious. At the beginning of the war, the Muslims were highly morale and believed that they could win in one battle. On the contrary, the Jerusalem people were uneasy and almost no one could firmly believe that they would win. However, after the war, the Muslims' first attack was repelled, which gave the Jerusalem people great confidence, and the entire city suddenly became a common enemy. One thing went up and the other was declining, but the Muslim army was in disarray. Saladin had a big temper. Facing such an empty city, he really couldn't understand the Muslim army with many people and well-armed weapons.
But Saladin would not give up. If he could not conquer once, then the second time he would face the city of Jerusalem, even if he died, he would attack. As long as he took down the city of Jerusalem, he would have everything.
The next shot and the next play made more than 100,000 viewers in the main square silent for nearly twenty minutes. The people finally stood up, they looked at the screen, supported each other, and kept their eyes open. Many people clenched their fists, hoping to rush in and take on a crusade.
War was cruel. Saladin sieges again and again, and the Muslim army used all the methods that could attack. The huge stone cart threw countless stone bullets and fire bullets into the city. The city of Jerusalem was groaning and trembling, but it did not collapse.
The Crusaders used tinder oil, bows, arrows, stones, spears, and teeth to resist the attack of Muslims. Even the princess cut off her head and joined the war.
One day, two, three days,
The city of Jerusalem, which Saladin originally thought would take only a short time, was like an iron barrel at this moment, and he did not allow Muslims to advance one at all.
In front of the Crusaders' defense weapons, the Muslim siege collapsed and the soldiers were killed and injured. The fierce war made Saladin frown in the end.
Under the city of Jerusalem, Saladin looked at Badian above the city with distorted facial features. He could not have imagined that such a young man could lead a group of ordinary people, and a group of people could not be considered.
The local people resisted the Muslim army and made him scold him and could not go further!
Such a war was unacceptable to Saladin. But the city of Jerusalem was right in front of him, and his lifelong ideal was right in front of him, and he could not give up.
This means that this cruel war will continue.
The war became anxious, and Saladin didn't want to make any hard work anymore. If this continues, countless casualties will definitely be killed or injured. Saladin found out that a wall in Jerusalem used to be a gate before, but later it was blocked, so it was very fragile. Just break through this wall, and then the Muslim army could attack and kill.
On the other hand, the Jerusalem army also understood that this section of the city wall was his weakest place.
Outside the city wall, Mulin's army launched a fierce attack, and the stone carts concentrated on attacking, and the city wall moaned in pain.
"Brothers, now is a good opportunity for God! It is the place where we make achievements. If you kill in, there will be no armor left!" The Muslim army shouted and started killing.
"Now, it's time to test us. Outside the wall, there are hundreds of thousands of Muslims, inside, there are old and small people in the city of Jerusalem. Today, this section of the wall will be broken, and there will be a gap here. What I want to ask is, can you stand here?? Stay?!" Inside the wall, Badian looked at his subordinates and shouted loudly.
"able!"
"hold fast!"
"hold fast!"
...
The people of Jerusalem were so angry that they were ready to die. He knew that it was impossible to break through under heavy siege. If they were defeated, there would be only one fate waiting for them: massacre of the city!
A hundred years ago, when the Crusaders conquered Jerusalem, they massacred all the Muslims inside. This time, if the Muslims conquered Jerusalem, they would definitely take revenge.
So at this moment, no matter how mentality the people are, they have been forced into a dead end. They only have one wish and only one idea, that is, fight and then live.
"This is Jerusalem, we stick to: the place. I tell you, what we stick to is not this city, not these stones, but our life, our freedom! Persistence! Or death! This is our answer!" Badian raised the long sword in his hand high.
"Persevere, or die!"
"Persevere, or die!"
"Persevere, or die!"
The crusaders shouted into the sky.
Boom! With a loud noise, under the fierce attack, the originally fragile city wall finally collapsed and a huge gap appeared. As soon as this gap appeared, the Muslim army waiting outside cheered for victory. In their opinion, the city wall was broken and Jerusalem was their land.
Even Saladin laughed out loud. Amid the drums of the attack, the Muslims rushed towards the gap, and on the other side, the Crusaders rushed forward!
The gap did not expand originally, and soon became hell. The army of both sides was fighting in this narrow place, with people coming from behind constantly coming, while the people in front kept falling down, without giving in, and fighting to the death. This narrow area was completely a meat grinder, a fierce meat grinder, which eventually turned all the living beings close to the end.
The bodies piled up the gap! The Muslim army was crowded outside the city and could not attack in at all. At the gap, the stones and dust on the ground were burned red by blood. The Muslims attacked again and again, but were repelled again and again. The two sides suffered heavy casualties and were still in a stalemate.
Saladin couldn't stand it anymore. He couldn't believe his eyes. Such an empty city without formal momentum could last for so long and make the powerful Muslim army return in a defeat again and again. In his opinion, this was really an incredible thing.
Seeing the countless Muslim troops killed and injured, Saladin's heart was bleeding. The price paid by the Muslim troops in this siege battle was much higher than the decisive battle with the Crusaders led by Guy.
Such a price was unacceptable to Saladin. Because for him, it was not enough to take the city. After conquering the city of Jerusalem, he would still have to protect the city. If he paid a heavy price to obtain the city, then he would have no ability to fight back under the attacks of other troops in the future. This was not what he was willing to see.
Therefore, he had to come up with a way to quickly take down the city of Jerusalem without paying a heavy price.
According to the current situation, there is only one method, that is, negotiation.
When the Muslim army was repelled from the last attack at the gap, the noisy battlefield became quiet. The Crusaders were resting. Although they repelled the enemy's attacks, they themselves suffered heavy casualties, and even Badian himself was injured.
And at this moment, someone pointed outside and shouted.
Badian stood up and saw a white flag rising outside the city among the Muslim army. And the flag was being held high by a person.
Looking at the flag, Badian naturally knew what the person came, and a smile appeared on his face.
"Brothers, Saladin is beaten to negotiating by us." When Badian said this, the Jerusalem people burst into laughter. There was great pride in this laughter, and at the same time, it was full of desire for life and desire for freedom.
"They can step." The bald man said with a smile.
"We can pretend to convert to Islam and repent in the future." The bishop looked outside the city and said something that made all the audience laugh.
These guys who usually put Christ on their mouths never have any pious hearts. For them, religion has always been just a means of gaining benefits and money.
Outside the city, Saladin, wearing golden armor, stood under a tent waiting for Badian. Badian walked through layers to Saladin's face.
This time, hundreds of thousands of people in the two kingdoms once again focused on the two people. The last time was Baldwin IV and Saladin, and this time, it was replaced by Badian.
"Will you be willing to sacrifice the city?" Saladin looked at the young man in front of him, his eyes full of praise.
‘Before the city is broken, I will burn it, and I will not leave you a complete stone. Your holy land, our holy land, and everything in the city will make people crazy, will be buried in the sea of fire.’ Badian’s answer was very firm, but it made Saladin’s face very embarrassed. If this is true, even if he seized the city of Jerusalem, there would be no meaning.
"You really want to destroy the city?" Saladin asked again.
"Everything is burned! If you kill a Christian, there will be ten
You will conquer the city of Jerusalem with him, but you will also bring back the whole army. I swear to heaven that the day of seizing the city is also the day of your destruction!" Badian nodded and spoke generously.
Saladin's muscles twitched again, and he knew that what Badian was saying was not a joke.
"I will release all people and let them return to the land of Christ, all people! Old men, children, women, your men, your knights, and your kings, now there, I can give you too, no one will die, I swear." Saladin looked at Badian and offered his conditions.
"But when Christians conquered Jerusalem, they massacred all Muslims and Jews." Badian didn't believe in Saladin's mind.
"I am different from those people. I am Saladin!" Saladin was very angry that Badian compared him with those massacres.
"Under this condition, I am willing to give up Yeleng City.
"Looking at Saladin's resolute face, Ba: nodded and agreed.
The negotiations were a similar result, and both sides were very satisfied.
"What is Jerusalem's value?" Dean asked a question as he said goodbye.
Ding turned around and shrugged: "There is no value."
After answering this sentence, he strides forward, took a few steps and turned around again, with a bright smile on his face, and then he raised his fist: "But it is everything! Supreme value!"
Badian returned to the city of Jerusalem. He walked through the layers of corpses and came to his hands. Everyone looked at him, his eyes full of anticipation.
"I have promised to give up the city of Jerusalem." Badian looked at these people with a dull face.
Everyone's breathing became rapid.
"Saladin promised me that we would let all of us leave here safely. Now, you can go home!" The following sentence of Badian put the entire city of Jerusalem into a state of madness!
"We can go home safely!"
"It's safe to go home!"
