Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 1147, Multi-party War

Hampshire for the English, Andal for the Spaniards.

The Spaniards built a strong city wall using cement imported from Ming Dynasty. Here, two armies are fighting fiercely.

"Dong Dong~"

Accompanied by bursts of white smoke rising continuously, one after another shells continued to fall towards the solid city wall, relying on terrible inertia, they fell heavily on the city wall, smashing pits one by one on it.

However, this does not fundamentally damage the solid city walls. The cannon used by the English is the most popular French artillery in Europe. It is a very small and flexible artillery, and its power is naturally very average.

In contrast, the artillery used by the Spaniards on the city wall is much more powerful, at least louder than the English artillery.

The Spaniards had the most contact with the Ming people, and more or less learned something from the Ming people. In terms of artillery and musket manufacturing technology, the Ming people are unrivaled in the world.

The Spaniards have learned a lot, and although the artillery they manufactured is not as good as the artillery of the Ming Dynasty, it is much more powerful than the artillery of other European countries.

"Dong Dong~"

On the city wall, there were also bursts of artillery roaring, and bullets roared in the sky, and then fell heavily into the densely packed English army camp, killing a few unlucky ghosts.

"For honor!"

"Come on!"

Henry VII held a telescope in his hand. This kind of thing from Ming Dynasty could see everything on the battlefield clearly.

The Spaniard's artillery has a longer range and more powerful than his own artillery, but fortunately, these are still within his tolerance.

The siege army rushed towards the city wall like a tide. Archers and musketeers suppressed the Spaniards on the city wall under the city wall. A large number of soldiers were constantly climbing up the city wall with ladders.

At the same time, at the city gate, heavy siege equipment was pushed down to the city gate by many soldiers, and began to hit the city gate continuously.

However, the resistance of the Spaniards was also very strong.

On the city wall, muskets, bows and arrows, boulders, rolling logs, hot oil, etc. were all poured onto the city wall for free, causing corpses to be piled up under the city wall, and at the same time, the burning corpses emitted a stench.

The battle between the two sides was stalemate, England could not attack, and the Spaniards did not intend to go out of the city to fight recklessly with the English.

"These hideous Spanish dogs!"

Henry VII looked at the scene in front of him and couldn't help but curse out.

Since he led the army to attack Hampshire, it went smoothly beyond imagination at the beginning. The Hampshire people who were oppressed by the Spaniards fell directly to him, almost without bloodshed, and he recovered here very smoothly. The city of Andal where the Spanish army was stationed.

This Andal city is both a city and a port. The Spaniards spent a lot of hard work building it. The city wall is very tall and strong, and the dock in the port area is also very large, enough to park many ships.

At this moment, in the port area, the Spanish ships are not only cruising, but also firing at their army from time to time.

The small boats temporarily organized by Henry VII did not dare to approach here at all, and they did not have the courage to fight against the regular Spanish navy.

Andal City seemed to be a nail, firmly nailed to the heart of Henry VII.

As long as the city of Andal is not captured, the Spaniards can re-occupy Hampshire at any time, and even use this as a base to go north and directly attack London again.

This is a thorn, stuck here, making Henry VII feel like a thorn in his throat, which is extremely uncomfortable.

The Spaniards gave up other places in Hampshire very decisively and directly, and concentrated their forces here. Although they had an army of 2, they faced the city of Andal, which had a strong city wall and [-] Spanish troops stationed. , he also looks very helpless now.

"It can only be consumed slowly~"

Henry VII clenched his fists, which was the last thing he wanted to see.

His original plan was to drive Spain out in one go, and then turn west to oppress Hong Kong. If the opportunity is right, he will take back Hong Kong in one fell swoop. If not, he can also take this opportunity to propose a revision of the London Treaty. Pay high war reparations.

But the current situation is that he has no way to take down the Spaniards in Hampshire at once. The blitzkrieg has turned into a tug-of-war, and he can only rely on the strength of the Spaniards to continue to consume the Spaniards to see who can't hold on first.

"I hope the French and Portugal will be more reliable this time and cut off the Spaniard's maritime supply line. Otherwise, with a supplementary record, they will never be able to drive Spain out."

Henry VII looked at the cruel battlefield, but he began to put his hope on the French and Portuguese.

……

On the English Channel, just over a hundred miles away from Andal City, more than a dozen ships that came to support from Spain were being attacked by dozens of pirate ships at this moment.

"Dong Dong~"

On the sea with a hint of mist, the artillery between the two sides fired back and forth, and as the ships of both sides got closer and closer, they could clearly see the figures on the other side's ships.

"These shitty French and Portuguese, obviously their navy, are pretending to be pirates here."

Duke Almeida looked at these pirates on the sea and couldn't help but curse out.

The Spaniards hate pirates the most.

I don't know how many ships, ports, and villages have been looted by pirates. The English are even more proud of pirates. The kings are all pirates and directly participate in the distribution of pirates.

The Portuguese and the French are not much better, and now they dare not confront the great Spaniard head-on, and have started playing the pirate game again.

Spanish colonies and merchant ships in North Africa and West Africa, and even the ports and villages in mainland Spain were often attacked by these nasty pirates.

This turned the Spaniards into raging bulls, eager to send all these disgusting pirates to the gallows.

Anger is anger, but in the situation before him, he may be sent into the sea by these nasty pirates before he even reaches Andal City.

These people also hate the Spaniards.

In the war between Spain and the Three Kingdoms the year before last, the Three Kingdoms were in sight of victory, but the Spaniards, who had an alliance with Daming, turned the tide of the war with the help of the Ming people.

A large piece of flesh was severely cut off from the Portuguese and the English, which made the English and Portuguese always hold a grudge, thinking about revenge all the time.

Well now, the covenant between the Spaniards and the Ming people has expired, and they can finally let go of their hands and feet to teach the Spaniards a good lesson.

The Spaniards are the traitors of Europe, the traitors who colluded with the Ming people.

This is the consensus of all Western European countries.

Back then, if the Spaniards hadn't colluded with the Ming people, Western European countries would have owned a large number of colonies and lands on the east coast of America.

Because of the betrayal of the Spaniards, the Ming people quickly cleared the European colonies and colonial strongholds in the Americas, and quickly gained a foothold on the east coast of the Americas.

Otherwise, the current Golden Continent would not belong exclusively to the Ming people, and the Europeans would also have a share.

At that time, the Ming people did not have any colonies on the east coast of America, and they had not yet gained a firm foothold.

It was the Spaniards who betrayed the interests of everyone in Europe for their own benefit. The Spaniards were traitors, traitors of Europe.

"Damn traitor!"

The angry pirates kept cursing and waving their swords, ready to rush up and kill the Spaniards as soon as they were ready for the next battle.

"Dong Dong~"

While Spain was fighting, it was sailing towards Andal City. The number of ships was too different, and it would definitely be impossible to fight recklessly.

However, the French and Portuguese, who had been prepared for a long time, would never let the Spaniards go so easily. Dozens of ships besieged more than a dozen Spanish fleets for the purpose of completely annihilating the Spanish ships and preventing the Spanish Support Andal City.

England, France, and Portugal have reached an agreement. This time, they will teach Spain a lesson, defeat the Spaniards, and carve up Spain's colonies in the north and West Africa.

The billowing white smoke continued to resound through the sky accompanied by bursts of roars. As the battle progressed, the situation of the Spaniards became worse and worse, and they did not have any advantage in numbers. If this continues, they will definitely be eaten.

"Boom~Boom~"

However, when the two sides were fighting each other, bursts of loud noises came from the distant sea, and then shells roared in the sky, forming a dense rain of bullets.

Soon, huge jets of water continued to rise around the pirate ships. The huge water jets were tens of meters high, and a large amount of sea water was thrown up to drench the French and Portuguese dressed as pirates on the ships.

"Ming people!"

They looked at the distant sea in horror, and soon saw the figures of huge warships and the Minglong flag hanging high above the mast.

Only the artillery of the Ming people can shoot so far and possess such terrifying power.

"Haha~"

"Our Spanish ally has arrived~"

"Brave matadors, kill!"

Compared with the despair of France and ordinary people, the Spaniards laughed happily.

The people of Daming did not abandon them, and they were still willing to help them at critical moments. Looking at the huge warships on the sea, they seemed to see a savior.

The Ming people came at the right time.

"Dong Dong~ Dong Dong~"

There was another burst of whizzing dense shells, and the shells fell heavily among the pirate ships, rising up water jets, and smashing huge holes in each ship.

"Pretending to be a pirate?"

"We are here to exterminate the pirates. If you directly reveal your identities, it will be difficult for us to intervene!"

　Is Spain a traitor?
