The Eagle of Eastern Europe

After the news of Romania's defeat of the Arab army spread, it caused a huge shock to the local people. Some towns that had been on the sidelines rioted, drove out the local Crescent Sect, and declared their support for Romania.

Peter accepted their surrender while asking them to provide food and grass supplies. At the same time, he let the troops rest for a while and then quickly advanced to Mecca.

After the Arab army suffered a disastrous defeat, some demoralized tribes refused to continue fighting, and some even led the remnants back to their respective areas without asking Hashim for instructions.

Faced with the rapid approach of the enemy, Hashim, whose troops were drastically reduced, did not try his best to defend himself. Instead, he launched a major purge in the tribe, killed some tribal leaders, and confiscated their troops.

In his opinion, the reason they failed was because there were too many tribes and they could not be under unified command. Now that he has sorted out these problems himself, he believes that he will succeed.

But Romania advanced faster than them. They successfully occupied Um Luj, an important city in the north. After Peter collected a lot of supplies in the local area, he left a troop to garrison, and the main force turned south. They did not encounter any effective resistance along the way and quickly entered the area around Medina.

In 622 AD, because Muhammad was threatened and persecuted for preaching in Mecca, he fled here and changed the name to "Medina", which means "City of the Prophet". It is surrounded by mountains on all sides. The underground spring water of the famous Medina Oasis is very rich. In addition to dates, its products also include fruits, vegetables and grains.

The rapid march frustrated the Arab garrison's attempt to transfer the wealth of the area, and the powerful military of Romania also frightened the local defenders. But the strong religious sentiment defeated them, and the resistance began.

On the city wall, flags fluttered and the soldiers guarding the city were ready. Under the city, the black army rushed to the city gate like a tide, and the shouts of killing were deafening. The pioneer Yanku knew that the city was easy to defend but difficult to attack, but he was not afraid and was determined to break through the city of the prophet.

The cannons and catapults roared loudly, and the shells and stones rained down on the city walls. The defenders in the city fought back and forth, and arrows rained down on the enemy outside the city. The two sides fought back and forth, and the battle was extremely fierce.

Seeing this situation, he shouted loudly: "Shield bearers, cover the advance! Siege ladders keep up!" For a while, the shield bearers quickly lined up, forming a moving barrier and slowly approaching the city wall.

The defenders on the city wall saw the siege soldiers coming like a tide, their faces were solemn, their hands kept moving, and they increased the intensity of the arrows. For a while, the rain of arrows was like locusts, densely shooting at the enemy under the city. Not only that, they kept throwing huge and heavy rolling logs and sharp stones from the city wall. Those rolling logs and stones whistled and hit the siege soldiers with thunderous force.

Under this fierce attack, many soldiers who attacked the city were unable to dodge and were shot by arrows, or hit in the head, limbs and other vital parts by rolling logs and stones, and fell down screaming. However, the soldiers in the rear did not hesitate at all. They stepped on the blood of their companions, rushed forward one after another, quickly filled the vacant position in front, and continued to charge towards the city wall.

Yangku clenched his fists, and his heart was extremely anxious. At this moment, he noticed that the defense of a corner of the city wall seemed to be weaker, and the firepower of the defenders there was relatively less concentrated. His eyes lit up, and he immediately commanded a part of the troops to quietly move in that direction. At the same time, he ordered the remaining catapults to adjust the angle and feint to attack other areas to distract the attention of the defenders.

The defenders on the city wall really fell into the trap, and they put more energy on dealing with the frontal attack. The quietly transferred troops took this opportunity to quickly advance to the foot of the city wall. The soldiers quickly set up siege ladders and began to climb.

When the defenders on the city wall found out, it was too late and they could only rush to stop them. Seeing this, Iancu personally led a group of elite cavalry to rush to the city gate. They fought against the rain of arrows and hacked and killed the enemy troops who blocked their way.

In the fierce battle, a warrior successfully climbed up the city wall and opened a gap. Iancu led the cavalry to rush into the city and launched a more brutal street battle with the defenders in the city. The whole city of Medina was suddenly caught in a melee, and the outcome became confusing at this moment.

The defenders retreated step by step and retreated to the Prophet's Mosque. Relying on local buildings to deal with the other side. They are believers of Muhammad and will never surrender.

The Romanian side did not think that the other side would surrender voluntarily, so they began to send letters of persuasion to the residents in the city. As long as they could surrender voluntarily, Romania would not force them to change their beliefs, and their customs and habits would be preserved.

This move was like a crowbar, prying a hole in the other side's indestructible heart. At the same time, Romania also said that they would not have to pay taxes in the next year. If they were willing to be loyal to the empire, they could also participate in the official selection and become officials based on their abilities.

The residents were somewhat tempted, but the defenders and the believers did not think so. They spoke loudly, telling the people that this was a delaying tactic of the enemy army, and not to forget how the enemy treated them in Jerusalem.

This is about the tragic scene after the First Crusade conquered Jerusalem. Christian soldiers cut off the heads of the enemies, some soldiers shot the enemies down from the tower with arrows, and some soldiers threw the enemies into the fire, so that they could endure the torture for a longer time. Piles of heads, feet and hands can be seen on the streets, and you have to find a way through the corpses of people and horses.

The looting, killing, and burning continued until the next day, when the Crusaders were promised that each of them could get his own house. So they searched and killed in the city all day, and the elderly and children were not spared. The Crusaders finally stopped until most of the "pagans" in the city were killed.

Such memories did make many people angry, but the words of the other party were more influential. Although the other party may have been drawing a pie, this pie was too big and too fragrant.

No mistake, one song, one post, one content, one look!

The people's hesitation destroyed the last bit of morale of the defenders. In order to prevent the prophet's place from falling into the hands of the pagans, 1,025 believers burned the place, and the battle here came to an end with the flames.
