Hampshire for the English, Andale for the Spanish.
The Spanish used cement imported from the Ming Dynasty to build a solid city wall. Here, two armies were fighting fiercely.
¡°Dong dong~¡±
With waves of white smoke rising continuously, cannonballs continued to fall towards the solid city wall, relying on the terrible inertia to fall heavily on the city wall, making dents on it.
However, this does not cause fundamental damage to the solid city wall. 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 comparison, the artillery used by the Spanish on the city wall was much more powerful, at least louder than the English artillery.
The people who had the most contact with the Ming people were the Spaniards, and they more or less learned something from the Ming people. In terms of the manufacturing technology of artillery and muskets, the Ming people were unparalleled in the world.
The Spaniards have learned a lot, and although the artillery they produced 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 roars of artillery, and projectiles roared in the sky, and then fell heavily into the dense English army camp, killing a few unlucky people.
"For honor!"
"Go!"
Henry VII holds a telescope in his hand. This thing from the Ming Dynasty can clearly see everything on the battlefield.
The Spanish artillery has a longer range and more power than its own artillery, but fortunately, these are still within the range of its own capabilities.
Like a tide, the siege army surged towards the city wall. Archers and musketeers suppressed the Spaniards on the city wall under the city wall. A large number of soldiers climbed up the city wall with ladders.
At the same time, at the city gate, heavy siege equipment was pushed hard by many soldiers to the city gate and began to continuously hit the city gate.
However, the Spanish resistance was also very strong.
On the city wall, muskets, bows and arrows, boulders, rolling logs, hot oil, etc. were poured on the city wall for free, leaving corpses piled under the city wall. At the same time, the burning corpses gave off a stench.
The battle between the two sides was in a stalemate. England could not attack, and the Spaniards did not intend to go out of the city to fight the English head-on.
"These disgusting Spanish dogs!"
Henry VII looked at the scene in front of him and couldn't help but cursed.
Ever since he led his army to attack Hampshire, it went surprisingly smoothly at first. The Hampshire people, who had been oppressed by the Spanish, turned directly to him. With almost no bloodshed, he successfully regained the place, leaving only the remaining survivors. The city of Andal where the Spanish army was stationed.
This Andal City is both a city and a port. The Spanish spent a lot of hard work to build it. The city wall is very tall and strong, and the pier in the port area is also very large, enough to berth many ships.
At this moment, in the port area, Spanish ships are not only cruising, but also firing at their own army from time to time.
The small ships temporarily organized by Henry VII did not dare to approach here at all, and they did not have the courage to go to war with the Spanish regular navy.
Andal City is like a nail, nailed to the heart of Henry VII.
As long as the city of Andal is not taken, the Spanish can occupy Hampshire again at any time, and even use it as a stronghold to go north again and directly attack London.
This is a thorn, stuck here, making Henry VII feel like it is stuck in his throat and extremely uncomfortable.
The Spanish decisively abandoned other parts of Hampshire and concentrated their forces here. Although they had 50,000 troops, they faced Andal City with a solid city wall and 20,000 Spanish troops stationed there. , he seems very helpless now.
"We can only use it up slowly~"
Henry VII clenched his fists. This was the last thing he wanted to see.
His original plan was to drive Spain out in one go, then turn westward and go in to oppress Hong Kong. If the opportunity was right, he would take back Hong Kong in one fell swoop. If not, he could also take this opportunity to re-propose the amendment of the London Treaty, or at least refuse to continue. Pay high war reparations.
But the situation at hand is that he cannot take down the Spaniards in Hampshire at once, and the blitzkrieg has turned into a tug-of-war.People! "
They looked at the sea in the distance in horror, and soon saw the figures of huge warships and the Minglong flag hanging high on the mast.
Only the artillery of the Ming Dynasty can shoot so far and possess such terrifying power.
"Haha~"
"Our Spanish allies have arrived~"
¡°Brave matadors, kill!¡±
¡°Compared to the despair of France and ordinary people, the Spaniards laughed happily.
The people of Ming Dynasty did not abandon them. They were still willing to help them at critical moments. Looking at the giant ships on the sea, they seemed to have seen a savior.
The people of Ming Dynasty came at the right time.
¡°Dong dong~dong dong~¡±
There was another burst of dense cannonballs roaring in. The cannonballs fell heavily between the pirate ships, raising water columns and smashing huge holes in each ship.
"Pretending to be a pirate?"
"We are here to destroy pirates. If you directly reveal your identity, it will be difficult for us to interfere!" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
