    The most controversial place in the world is undoubtedly Jerusalem.  To the killers of the Western Expeditionary Army, this was just a prosperous city.  Otherwise it is of no value, but for Judaism, Christianity, and Christianity.  Jerusalem has endless value!  For thousands of years, they have fought to claim this city.

    ??Jinding Temple, Silver Doing Temple!  The towering Mount of Olives!  Wailing wall!  Temple Mount!  Way of the Cross!  One name after another represents the place of belief for one religious believer after another.  When these places come together, the power of faith will explode into its cruel side.

    In order to fight for the Holy City, countless people sacrificed their blood and lives.  Superstition and the sword rule here, and will continue to do so for thousands of years!

    Jerusalem!  The most holy place!

    Jerusalem!  The bloodiest place!

    Yunhao saw a huge red cross on the shields of the knights.

    These are the legendary Knights Templar, one of the most ferocious knights in the Middle Ages.  The three major knightly orders in the Western world, these men wear heavy armor.  Fighting in the name of God, they charge on the battlefield brandishing their lances.  This is a nightmare for many infantrymen!

    It is a pity that these brave knights encountered the army of the Tang Empire, although Yun Hao's men were not the most elite cavalry in the Tang Dynasty.  But Yunhao still has a way to deal with them!

    The fire soaring into the sky burned their armor.  The former battlefield left behind black marks.  It was human oil that had seeped into the sand, and the smell was very unpleasant.

    Fortunately, the wind was blowing towards Jerusalem, so Yunhao didn't have to smell the smell of human oil, which was a good thing for Yunhao.

    The field battle was lost, and no one came out of Jerusalem.  It seems that if you want to rely on strong walls to hold on.

    Jerusalem changed hands many times in history, and each generation of owners tried their best to build a wall that could withstand any attack.  Therefore, what appeared in front of Yunhao was a city wall more than ten or twenty feet high.  This damn thing is higher than the city wall of Chang'an City. It takes a long time to climb up on the ladder.

    Yunhao scratched his head looking at such a city wall, it was too damn high.  With the construction standards of this era, it is possible to build such a high city wall.  It also proves that this city wall is fucking thick enough!

    After setting up camp, we heard chanting in the city.  I couldn't understand the language, but the sound was intermittent, as if it was drifting into my ears with the wind.  It felt like someone was humming a tune and mosquitoes were crawling inside the ears.  Very uncomfortable!

    The servant army began to dig trenches. The excavated soil was piled on one side, and large stones were placed irregularly outside the trenches.  These are all magic weapons for dealing with cavalry. Yunhao once used such tactics to successfully contain the Turkic cavalry.  Now, using him against the Knights should also work.

    Behind the trench, many crossbowmen were deployed.  Although the armor of the Knights is strong, the Tang Dynasty's crossbow is not a vegetarian.  Today I want to see whether it is the crossbows of the Tang Dynasty that are more powerful, or the armors of the knights.

    A wind arose in the night, and the wind blew against the walls of Jerusalem.  It makes a "woo" and "woo" sound, which sounds like a ghost crying.  Regardless of the annoying sound, Yunhao wrapped himself in a blanket and slept well all night.  This city has been captured many times, but each time it was a protracted siege battle involving mountains of corpses and rivers of blood.

    The Western Expeditionary Army of the Tang Dynasty could not afford to die so many people. Killing one or two thousand people in battle would kill Yun Hao.  Even if tens of thousands of people died in battle, even if they returned victorious, they would be impeached by the censor and turned into a sieve.

    The Yun family is not afraid of impeachment by the imperial censor. There is no precedent for deposing the winner in the Tang Dynasty.  But Yunhao was really afraid of hearing that heart-wrenching cry!  The women weep and howl, stopping your horse and asking you for a son or a husband.  Little children slap your carriage and cry for their father.

    Since the battle at Shuofang City, Yunhao swore that he never wanted to hear that sound again.

    It was daybreak, and the Knights did not launch any night attack.  Perhaps they also knew that a night attack would not be effective against this team that had come from afar.  And it will greatly kill the team they attack!

    The siege began, and the only two artillery pieces were pushed out.  The artillery's range is a full five miles, but Yunhao is not sure.  Can the trebuchets at the head of Jerusalem use their height advantage to attack the artillery?

    The distance of five miles is definitely the maximum range of the artillery, which is above this range.  It can ensure that the projectiles are launched, but it is very difficult to accurately hit the target.

    Although it was difficult to hit the target, Yunhao still ordered the artillery to fire at this distance.

    With a loud bang, the shells roared and flew towards the city wall.  After hitting the city wall, rubble flew everywhere and filled with gunpowder smoke, but the gunpowder smokeLater Yunhao made a sad discovery.  The shells only made a small hole in the city wall, even if each shell hit the same point.  If you want to gnaw through this city wall, you need to have the spirit of a foolish old man to move mountains.

    Yunhao didn¡¯t want to be a fool, so he had no choice but to move the artillery forward.  I hope I can attack the city gate!

    As soon as the artillery moved forward less than a mile, many black objects rained down on the city wall.  These black things can actually explode. Fortunately, these things are still far away from the artillery.  However, the air wave caused by the explosion still knocked one of the gunners upside down.

    It seems that the big cannibal has also not learned to keep technology secret.  The secret of gunpowder is probably no longer a secret in the West.  Fortunately, the production process of nitro powder is too complicated.  The cannibal spies didn't steal it, otherwise Datang would have no advantage at all in front of them.

    The artillery was withdrawn, and Yunhao looked at Jerusalem in the distance and began to feel worried.

    Yunhao is reluctant to use people to fill it.  Although there were many people in the Tang Dynasty, lives in the Tang Dynasty were precious.  It must not be pushed to be ground in this kind of flesh and blood mill!

    Dig a tunnel!  This does not require so many deaths, but God knows how thick the walls of Jerusalem are.  Besides, it would take at least ten days and a half to dig this tunnel.  Yunhao doesn't have the time to stay here with them.

    It will be even more impossible when all the food in their city is exhausted.  It is very difficult to supply supplies in this ghost place. If all the food in the city is not eaten, the Tang army outside the city may have starved to death.

    This won¡¯t work, and that won¡¯t work either. Yunhao is like a cat looking at the dried fish hanging high above.  No matter how hard I jump, I can't reach my favorite food.

    "Let the airship go up and have a look!" Helpless Yunhao could only let the airship investigate first to see what kind of monster this Jerusalem wall is.

    In order to ensure the effectiveness of the investigation, Yunhao personally boarded the airship.  These days there are no anti-aircraft guns and no anti-aircraft missiles.  It is basically impossible to bring down an airship flying in the sky.

    It was only when Yunhao got on the airship that he could see clearly. He saw deep despair.  The city head of Jerusalem could actually accommodate two carriages passing through at the same time.  This is just the top of the city, if you change it to the bottom.  Yunhao didn't dare to think how thick it was!

    After flying over Jerusalem, Yunhao finally understood.  It turns out that there is a fucking urn inside the gate of Jerusalem.  Even if the Tang Dynasty used artillery to blast open the city gate, the troops rushing in would be blocked by the barbican city.

    When the army got there, it was like arriving at a slaughterhouse.  Especially now that gunpowder weapons are rampant, those who rush in and come back alive are definitely lucky.

    Yunhao scratched his head and thought for a long time, but he still couldn't figure out what to do.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
