- The Port of Rotterdam is one of the most important commercial ports in Western Europe. The shipbuilding and trading industries here have always been very prosperous. Because it is backed by the hinterland of the European continent, plus there are many rivers such as the Rhine River, water and land transportation are very important. Extremely convenient and the location is very advantageous.
In addition, the lowland areas have always had a strong commercial atmosphere, which has contributed to the prosperity and excitement of the Port of Rotterdam.
However, at this moment, along with the large ships in the sea outside the Port of Rotterdam, one after another, the ferocious barrels were aimed at the Port of Rotterdam, and suddenly the sirens in the entire port rang out one after another, resounding through the sky.
"Dang~dang!"
"The Spanish are coming!"
"Quick, quick! Get ready to fight!"
Suddenly, the entire Port of Rotterdam was in chaos.
"Dongdong! Dongdong!"
Soon, along with the rumbling sound of shelling from the sea, billowing white smoke continued to rise from the warships, and the shells roared in the sky and then hit Rotterdam heavily.
"Boom!"
These breech-loaded explosives purchased from the Ming Empire are extremely powerful, and are accompanied by violent explosions and terrifying impacts wherever they land.
The whole of Rotterdam was covered by artillery fire. In just a blink of an eye, it was reduced to ruins and no longer the bustling and lively place it was a moment ago.
¡°Counterattack, counterattack!¡±
After receiving the news, Duke William rushed to the city wall and angrily issued an order to counterattack.
"Dongdong!"
Along with the billowing white smoke, the turrets above the city continued to launch counterattacks at the Spanish warships on the sea. The fighting between the two sides was very lively.
"General, how do you think we can quickly capture Rotterdam in front of us?"
On a warship, Alfred put down the telescope in his hand and asked a Ming man next to him.
"With a frontal bombardment of warships and a landing of armies on both wings, capturing it is no big deal."
Fan Mindao carefully observed the topography and topography around the Port of Rotterdam and said very confidently.
Fan Mindao graduated from the Royal Military Academy of the Ming Dynasty and served in the Ming Dynasty army for more than ten years. He could have continued to stay, but he was tired of the boring life in the army, so he applied for retirement and went overseas.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????: I worked as an escort, opened a trading company, worked as a bodyguard, worked as an explorer and a navigator overseas, but in the end, I didn't make anything famous, and I was still very depressed.
Finally, on the recommendation of a friend, he went to Spain to help the King of Spain train his new army. This time, he was also entrusted to come here as a consultant and give advice to Alfred.
"Um!"
Alfred nodded and immediately gave the order.
Soon, dozens of warships were bombarding the Port of Rotterdam from the front, while troop transport ships began to land in other places, continuously sending a large number of troops to the shore, and then quickly attacking the Port of Rotterdam.
"Hold on! Hold on!"
On the top of the city of Rotterdam Port, Duke William kept roaring, urging his soldiers to hold on to the city wall. Once the city was breached, he would die.
Charles V has already promised that he will be guillotined. Once caught, he will definitely die.
¡°Soldiers of the Netherlands, listen, if you surrender now, we will ensure that you can return to your families safely in the name of Emperor Charles V.¡±
"But if you want to resist stubbornly, you will die when the city is broken!"
"Everyone, listen up, as long as you can catch Duke William, you will be promoted to the third level and rewarded with ten thousand taels of silver. No matter who you are, you can be reused."
"Now Emperor Charles V is vigorously reforming and re-employing capable people, regardless of whether they are nobles or not, only based on ability and contribution."
"What are you waiting for? Surrender now and escort your commander out now to achieve great success!"
When the Spanish army was attacking, they also used tin trumpets to continuously shout at the Dutch soldiers in the city. The psychological warfare was also very futile. There is no doubt that this was also the strategy of Fan Mindao.
With the shouting and the oppression of the mighty army outside, the counterattacks in the entire Netherlands city suddenly began to become sporadic.

Many soldiers evenThey were only temporarily detained.
At the same time, on the other side, Alfred was holding a public trial, inviting some high-status people in Rotterdam and a large number of ordinary people to come to an open place to try some nobles headed by Duke William.
In the huge open space, Spanish soldiers stood upright, forming square formations to maintain order on the scene. A large number of Dutch citizens were politely invited here by the Spanish soldiers.
This made many citizens very scared, afraid that these Spaniards would suddenly kill them or something, but fortunately, Spain did not do anything to them, they really just invited them to come here to watch the show.
In addition to these people, some Rotterdam soldiers who took the initiative to surrender and made contributions were also invited here. They will receive the rewards they deserve. At the same time, Alfred will also entrust them with important tasks and appoint them on behalf of Charles V. As officials and nobles, he was responsible for assisting Spanish officials in quickly restoring rule over the Netherlands.
¡°There is no doubt that this set of rules was also proposed by Fan Mindao. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
