Li Chang's miscalculation is not a miscalculation of the days of reinforcements, but a miscalculation of the scale of reinforcements on both sides.

Will the Toyo Military Government send reinforcements? Most likely it will, but how many reinforcements will they send?

I'm afraid it's enough to choke.

But they have many enemies.

Now Pulley County is the enemy of the world, and no amount of reinforcements can come as fast as England's nearby conscription.

Coincidentally, Charles, Earl of Plymouth, just outside the city, thought so.

What happened in Plymouth had always caught the eye of the upper classes of England, whether it was the plague or the rebellion, the latter of which was more interested in the latter.

Not worried, but more interested, people laughed at the incompetence of the Ming merchants, who had only infiltrated England for two or three years, and could not wait to take advantage of the plague to incite the citizens to revolt, such a thing was not wise even in the eyes of the sea-dog adventurers.

England was extremely familiar with military intervention between countries, although the Hundred Years' War between Britain and France had long ended, but the contradictions between Britain and France had never been properly resolved.

In fact, England during the time of Henry VII can almost be regarded as a vassal state of Spain, and it is by virtue of the prestige of Spain that Henry VIII has accumulated the strength to use troops across the sea to France several times, but such efforts have been in vain, but in the war they learned musket tactics from the Spaniards, and also learned artillery tactics from the French, which made England pay attention to craftsmen and develop commerce.

At the turn of the Jiajing Revolution, Philip's ambition for the throne of England made the hardened European islands try to get rid of the burden, and ideological differences emerged, and England developed Protestantism to maintain political stability at home and interfere with the French Wars of Religion externally.

They have a wealth of experience in being interfered with and interfering with others.

In terms of war technology, although it absorbed some of the infantry technology of spears, arquebuses, and artillery, England still has a huge gap with the European continental powers, and the gap is not in the equipment and in the traditional feudal military system, England does not directly belong to the royal family or the standing armament of the country, which has long been realized whether it is the phalanx legion of Philip in Spain or the decree knights of the royal family of Valois.

Compared with the centralized phalanx corps in Spain, the landed aristocracy had very little room for survival in Spain, while France was relatively backward.

France's military system was also limited by the conscription of a large number of landed nobles, so the royal family of Valois took a different approach, using mercenaries as the main body of warfare, so as to better use infantry phalanx tactics.

Of course, England's poor performance is also comparative, they only have a small number of local mercenaries, mainly with noble levies as the main combat force, spears, muskets, artillery, hook sickles, battle axes, longbows mixed combat, a combination of the old and the new.

Later, people often said that after the Renaissance, the modern army appeared, and the symbolic feature of the modern army is the national army, but in fact, the national army has nothing to do with the modern army, and the army belongs to the state, which is only related to the country's ability to centralize power.

Centralization corresponds not to democracy, but to decentralization.

China after the Qin Dynasty and Rome were short-lived, both of which were national armies, with the former having an army most of the time and the latter owning a state most of the time, but they were all national armies. schoolbag

Only the decentralization of power, the excessive power of the localities, will the state not be able to have an army, for example, in Europe under the feudal system.

England was under this system.

At this moment, the earls of the three adjacent counties, including Devon, where Plymouth is located, received the news that the nobles of the realm, the viscounts, barons, and knights put on the most beautiful armor, brought the most beautiful prostitutes and the best wine, and rode the strongest horses to search for the scoundrels, drunkards, lumberjacks, and hunters of the village, and promote the coolest rabble to Plymouth.

Standing under Plymouth, no one would be worried even if the besieged camp was as chaotic as the market, and they were sure that the rebels in the city would not dare to go out to fight...... If they really had the courage to do so, they would have gone out of the city to meet the battle in the process of army assembly, and they would not have sent troops at that time, let alone at this time.

The people were in high spirits, and the nobles who had come from other territories had finally gone out to the far gates, and as soon as they threw their troops into the besieged camp, they happily greeted a few acquaintances, those who liked hunting went out hunting with their chests, those who liked women went to the nearby villages to wander around in search of beautiful women, and there were psychopaths who liked to wreak havoc with torches, and where they were pleasing to the eye.

They knew what might happen to running around during the siege, but no one was worried about it.

Regardless of whether it was in the Netherlands or France, the battles were fought like this, and the real battles were very rare, and they may not be met once in ten years, and the vast majority of the casualties in the battles occurred in encounters, scouts, water search teams, grain collection teams, and robbery teams...... What does it mean for these teams, which are numbered to dozen, to encounter two knights and three or four armed servants in the wilderness?

It means that the regiment is wiped out, and the knights may not even scratch the skin.

As for the siege?

Provincial province, no one plans to attack the city, there are still a lot of rebels in the city, and they have all heard that the army of the Ming Dynasty is very capable of fighting, and the Spanish army has sunk on land, no one is uncomfortable to look for, the weather is very good, their military rations are very sufficient, just surround it, and the rebels who surround the city will surrender.

Even if those Ming merchants did not surrender, the townspeople would not be able to stand the surrender of Kaesong due to hunger.

It didn't matter if they didn't surrender, the Queen of London had ordered Robert Dudley, Lord of the Court Guard and Earl of Leicester, to return to his domain and gather his vassals and troops to march from land to Plymouth; and Sir Hawkins and Drake, who, with the Queen's permission, borrowed ships to hire troops in London and prepared to return to the blockade port by sea.

Sir Robert Dudley is a great man, his army has been to Ireland and France, the queen is not sure whether to send him to the Netherlands or Spain, long before the queen gives the order people know that he will be the last to be sent to quell the rebellion - going directly to Spain to face the Ming army may not make Sir very uncomfortable, but with this experience, the rest of the story is much easier to say.

Anyway, there were no Ming troops in the city, just a group of Ming merchants and their guards.

However, what neither the Ming Shang nor the English nobles expected was that Puli County did not wait for the attack of the English outside the city in the apprehension, but waited for reinforcements.

Twelve Fu ships sailed from the western sea to dock at the port, the first person to come down, Tang Er, was a thief at the earliest, an arms dealer specially assigned by Chen Mu to England to sell arquebuses, he looked at the four lieutenants who were full of anticipation and laughed: "Look at who I brought you, Makino is too far away, why don't you move the rescue troops directly from the Ailan Kingdom?" ”

Behind him, the cavalrymen with all red Beiyang uniforms on their heads were pulling their horses down from the boat, and the young man who looked like a general turned over and dismounted, his cuirass and smile were shining, he first looked left and right, glanced at this chaotic and dilapidated town, frowned and muttered: This is Bacon's home?

Immediately after that, he raised his hand and clenched his fist at several self-appointed captains, and said: "Ying Ming, the commander of the Ming Oriental Military Mansion and the Tailongwei of the Ailan Kingdom, will lead two hundred Beiyang cavalry and three hundred banner troops to assist in defending the city, where is the enemy, take me to pacify them." ”
