First, a part of the Ming cavalry arrived under Mexico City first, and then more Ming cavalry, as well as Ming infantry, etc., also arrived under Mexico City. Tian Lai Xiao said. 2

The Ming army was neat and morale, and they were getting closer and closer to Mexico City with neat steps, and the entire Ming army was exuding a strong killing force, which made the Spanish soldiers and Aztec forces on the Mexican city wall a little frightened just by looking at it.

"Mexico City has finally arrived, according to the news of the spies, the main Spanish army around has all been concentrated in Mexico City, as long as Mexico is captured, the Spanish forces in Mexico will no longer have much ability to resist, and the army can calmly capture most of Mexico." Yan Yingyuan rode on a war horse and looked at Mexico City, which was close at hand, and said calmly.

Yan Yingyuan didn't know that in Mexico City, in addition to 40,000 Spanish soldiers, there were also 50,000 Aztec armed forces, but like Duke William, the commander of the British army, Yan Yingyuan didn't look at those rabble-like Aztec indigenous armed forces at all.

As the Ming army approached, the Spanish soldiers and Aztecs on the city walls became more and more nervous.

"Prepare to fire! Bombard the Ming army! A Spanish general suddenly shouted.

On the castle, the cannons of some Spanish cannons were revealed, revealing a Spanish cannon.

There were also two batteries specially built behind the city walls, slightly higher than the city walls, and all the Spanish cannons together amounted to more than one hundred and fifty guns.

Duke Tribwes not only gathered all the Spanish forces around Mexico City, but also all the artillery fire, and he wanted to hold Mexico City as much as possible.

"Fire!"

"Boom! Rumble! Boom ————" More than 150 Spanish cannons opened fire on the approaching Ming army.

The shells exploded in some Ming formations, some flowering shells, some solid shells, and under one round of shelling, hundreds of Ming soldiers were killed and wounded. Although the power of the Spanish artillery is not as good as that of the Ming army, the number of more than one hundred and fifty cannons is still quite threatening.

As soon as the Spanish artillery was fired, the specific location of the Spanish artillery was immediately visible in the Ming artillery battalion, which was about two kilometers away from Mexico City.

"Fire!"

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "The artillery battalion of the Ming army, the artillery that had been prepared for a long time also immediately opened fire intensively.

In fact, as early as when he ordered the army to approach Mexico City, Yan Yingyuan took the first step to order the artillery battalion to be ready two kilometers away from Mexico City, as long as the artillery that lured the Spanish opened fire and exposed the location of the Spanish artillery, the artillery battalion immediately counterattacked and destroyed all the Spanish artillery.

One by one, a cannonball flew with the breath of death towards the exposed position of the Spanish artillery.

The shells exploded, and both the Mexican city walls and the two batteries behind the city walls were instantly enveloped in a sea of fire, and shrapnel and blazing waves overturned one Spanish cannon after another, killing a large number of Spanish artillerymen.

"Bang!"

The shells were loaded, and the Ming army followed closely with a second round of shelling.

The Ming artillery fired very quickly, and the continuous shelling did not intend to give the Spanish artillery a second chance to open fire, and under the intensive shelling of the Ming artillery, the fire, the rubble, and a large number of Spanish artillery were killed.

In just twenty or thirty breaths, more than 150 Spanish ships were destroyed, not only destroying the artillery, but also killing and wounding hundreds of Spanish soldiers and Aztec troops, which shocked the eyes of those Spanish generals and Aztec nobles.

"Nope! Oh, God! Our artillery was destroyed by the Ming army like this? Damn it! Many of the Spanish generals had pale faces, fear, and anger.

The news reached the commander of the Spanish army, Duke Tribwes, who also gritted his teeth and looked iron.

"Quick! Immediately organize a resistance to the Ming army! The Ming army must not be allowed to storm the city! Duke Tribweth ordered angrily.

The Ming army was too strong, and it destroyed all the garrison cannons in the city just after it appeared, giving the Spanish soldiers and Aztecs in the city a heavy dismount, and greatly damaging the morale of the Spanish soldiers and Aztec armies.

As soon as the artillery fire of the Ming army stopped, the flames were still burning on the two forts, as well as a large number of stumps, broken arms and corpses, indicating the fierceness of the Ming army's artillery bombardment just now.

Seeing such a tragic scene, the hearts of the Spanish soldiers and the Aztec armed forces were filled with fear, and the whole of Mexico City was in chaos, and they were all afraid of when the Ming army would enter the city.

"Marshal! Do you want to attack Mexico City immediately? Feng Houdun came to Yan Yingyuan's side and asked.

The artillery in Mexico City had just been destroyed, and the Spaniards and Aztecs in the city had suffered a serious blow, and if the army took advantage of this time to attack the city, it would be easy to storm the city.

However, Yan Yingyuan looked at the sky, but did not order the army to attack the city immediately.

From the border to Mexico City, a distance of more than 2,000 miles, so many days, the army has been killing all the way to Mexico City, and needs to rest, and now that the sun has set, it will be dark in a while, and there is really no need to attack Mexico City in the dark.

"Nope! The army rests for the night, and tomorrow dawn will attack the city! Yan Yingyuan ordered.

"Yes, Marshal!"

Under Yan Yingyuan's order, the Ming army only lured and destroyed the defensive artillery in Mexico City first, and then camped outside Mexico City, without immediately attacking Mexico City.

---------------------------

Although the Ming army only destroyed the city's artillery and did not immediately attack the city, the Spanish soldiers and Aztecs in the city could not let go, and in fact they spent the night in fear.

Even the Duke of Tribwes, the Ming army was outside the city, and it showed such strength as soon as the soldiers arrived in the city.

The more Duke Tribweise felt that it was a little inappropriate to have a large-scale decisive battle with the Ming army in Mexico City, he thought about what would happen if he listened to the British commander Duke William before the Ming army came to Mexico City, abandoned Mexico, and went south to form the Five Nations Alliance-------

Just thinking of this, Tribweis's eyes immediately widened in shock, and his face turned blue and white.

"The Ming army didn't start attacking the city, I actually lost confidence just now, how can I defeat the Ming army like this!" Tribweth gritted his teeth.

In any case, the Ming army has already arrived in the city, and he has lost the opportunity to evacuate, so he has no choice but to resist.

"God will be on my side of the Spanish Empire!" Duke Tribweth roared.
