Emperor Hongzhi said that he was still not at ease.

opened his mouth to say something, but someone came in again: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty...... A large number of defeated troops are about to enter the city, and they are going to enter the city. ”

Jin Wuwei ...... It's going to collapse at the touch of a button.

Emperor Hongzhi sighed: "Open the city, let them enter the city quickly." ”

After a short time, a seriously injured Qianhu was carried in, and the Qianhu was in tears and with trepidation: "Your Majesty, Chenzhou is waiting for him...... He ......"

This Chenzhou Hou, who has been guarding the palace, is the confidant of Emperor Hongzhi, at this time, Emperor Hongzhi sighed: "Do you know life and death?" ”

"I don't know, but ...... I'm afraid that something will happen. ”

Emperor Hongzhi nodded: "Although he is not good in battle, he is the first soldier, and he can also be called loyal and brave." ”

Qianhu said: "When the Hou Ye charged into battle, he once recited a poem......"

At this time, Emperor Hongzhi was in the mood to listen to what to recite poetry.

Ma Wensheng said at this time: "The matter of this poem, I will talk about it later, the most important thing now is to strengthen the city defense of Tianjin Wei, the area around Tanggu, and there is still a cavalry battalion, but they can be ordered to return to the defense ...... immediately."

A military meeting has begun.

The thousand households heard that His Majesty and the ministers were not interested in poetry, and their hearts were extremely cold.

I wasn't even allowed to read the poem, how could I stand up to the dead Chenzhou Hou.

Ma Wensheng is the secretary of the military department, and in addition, the commander of the warrior battalion of Tianjin Weizhong is also involved.

Everyone had agreed, and ordered the cavalry battalion to return to defense, stationed nearby, and formed a corner to wait for work, and stubbornly defend Tianjin, so that the Spaniards had no chance to take advantage of it.

The longer the time drags on, the greater the advantage of Daming.

But......

Everything was beyond the expectations of Emperor Hongzhi and others.

Because, more than two hours later, the Spaniards had arrived at the city of Tianjin.

Soldiers are fast.

All this greatly exceeded the expectations of the monarchs and ministers.

According to the assembly time as Ma Wensheng said, the Spaniards would never have been so fast.

This is also the reason why he called the Horse Battalion.

But......

"Your Majesty...... These Spaniards, I'm afraid it's not easy. Ma Wensheng couldn't help but shudder, he had a premonition that something was wrong: "The old minister is not without concern about the Franco, let's just say that the Portuguese of the Franco, their army is in the West, and the battle is also brave, the combat effectiveness is quite strong, subduing the Western natives, and winning a hundred battles." But Lao Chen roughly estimated that the Portuguese military horses and combat power in the West were no more than the warrior battalions, and they might be more familiar with the use of firearms and more diligent in training...... But now it seems that this Spanish military horse is not trivial, and I am afraid of ......"

Emperor Hongzhi's face was miserable, and he snorted coldly: "The Spaniards have traveled thousands of miles, and they have come prepared, and the ones they dispatched must be the elite of the Franc machine's elite, how can you ignore them and give an order to wait for help." ”

Everything was too fast.

It was completely beyond everyone's expectations.

quickly defeated Jin Wuwei, and then did not need to be repaired, and ran for a long time, others may not know the stakes, but Ma Wensheng knew best in his heart that this Spanish army horse was extraordinary.

It didn't take long for the rumbling of cannons to be heard outside the city.

The Spaniards actually had artillery.

As soon as the artillery fire came out, the earth shook suddenly.

so much so that the city was terrified.

…………

Sir Francesco, who was full of ambition, now stood on the commanding heights, raised his binoculars, and looked at Tianjin Wei in the distance.

The city of Tianjin Wei is very small, and there are a lot of suburbs outside the city.

Obviously, after learning of the attack, many soldiers and civilians in the suburbs had already entered the city.

He had no interest in sweeping the countryside.

This acropolis must be taken quickly, and then advanced to the imperial city of the Ming Dynasty.

The soldiers quickly set up artillery positions, and dozens of artillery pieces fired in unison.

"This wall of theirs is made of rammed earth, and they are stepping up their shelling of this place." Sir Francesco was now smiling.

Because...... The city defense of the Ming Dynasty is obviously much easier than I imagined, this is not a fortress built with huge rocks, most of the city walls are only made of bricks and stones, and even, some of the city walls are built of rammed earth.

In the hundred years of the Ming Dynasty, in addition to the fortress, most of the city walls are better than nothing, which gives great convenience to the Spaniards.

Sir Francisco put down his binoculars and nodded with satisfaction to Wang Xizuo on the side: "Your Excellency, everything you said is correct, the Ming Empire is just a giant with feet of clay, today, we are going to enter this city, and after that, we will march towards their capital." ”

Wang Xizuo's heart began to drum.

He smiled, preoccupied.

The artillery in the city began to return fire.

However, the artillery on both sides is actually limited, but the target of the Francois is a large city wall, and the fort of Tianjin Wei is looking for an artillery position with a much smaller target under the city, so Sir Francisco is not worried, he wants to break through the city defense of Tianjin Wei is not strong, as long as this goal is achieved, it will be fine.

The rumbling cannons kept ringing out.

The city tower of Tianjin Wei is already full of holes.

The anxiety in the city is constantly amplified.

Although the warrior camp is sharpening knives, His Majesty is in the city, but everyone can't let go.

I had to retreat into the city and wait for the upcoming decisive battle.

In this way, the soldiers and civilians in the city began to become depressed.

…………

At the same time, the brigade of men and horses meandered like a long snake.

Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan rode horses, constantly urging the military horses to move quickly.

Along the way, Zhu Houzhao was anxious.

And Fang Jifan gritted his teeth and complained on the side: "I said a long time ago that it must have landed at Dagukou, Your Highness, I'm afraid that something big will happen now, and our head will definitely not be guaranteed." ”

Zhu Hou complained to Fang Jifan, and he was also a little speechless, but there was nothing he could do.

Jin Wuwei could not stop the Spanish army.

And the most important thing is that he still didn't expect that the Spaniards would come so quickly, and originally in his conception, Tanggu and Dagu would establish a solid defense line.

Can ...... now It's too late to say anything.

Fortunately, Chang Pingwei was also extremely fast under an order.

After more than two months of training, the entire Changpingwei has changed from its previous casualness.

All the people practiced day and night, adopted the method of foot drill, and gave the best food, and not only that, but the prince also took his own money and paid his salary, so that the officers and soldiers could support their families.

In the past, according to the establishment of the guard, the soldiers of Changping Wei needed to reclaim the land, once they were not allowed to farm, but cultivated every day, which would cause panic among the soldiers. And with the silver of the white flowers, the military heart is settled, and a good diet is enough for their bodies to support high-intensity drills.

The content of the drill is very simple and boring. This is also the elite of Fang Jifan's infantry training method.

Any complex tactical maneuvers, to some extent, are meaningless for the army.

Find the most effective means of killing the enemy, and then let the soldiers practice a thousand or ten thousand times over and over again, which is the elite of the drill.

The so-called various dragon gate formations, long snake formations, and tiger wing formations practiced by other guards are all canceled, and they can be lined up in a queue.

Chang Pingwei's endurance exploded at this moment.

After getting used to the drill, they quickly began to march in the direction of Tianjin Wei.

Approaching, there were fleeing people, but in the distance, there was the sound of horses' hooves.

Immediately, it was a eunuch with a few guards, hurriedly greeting, he saw the men and horses of Changping Wei, and immediately shouted loudly: "Your Highness, Your Highness, there is a will, there is a will......"

Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan glanced at each other, and the two were busy flying forward and intercepting each other.

The eunuch turned over and dismounted: "Please ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to accept the order." ”

His voice fell, and the horsewhip in Zhu Houzhao's hand waved down fiercely.

There was a snap, and the eunuch who hit it groaned.

Zhu Houzhao bared his teeth and grinned: "What are you talking about?" ”

"...... with a purpose"

Zhu Houzhao was about to whip again, so frightened that the eunuch was busy dodging.

"Say it again, try it."

The eunuch cried: "Your Highness, the slave and maid are ......"

"Get out!" Zhu Houzhao said.

Fang Jifan was on the side, making a peacemaker: "Your Highness, don't be excited, father-in-law, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is in a bad mood, now ...... When it's a very good time, you give way, don't get in the way. ”

"But ......"

Fang Jifan's face was still like a spring breeze, he turned his head, and suddenly his face was murderous: "Get out!" ”

As he spoke, he let go of his horse, took the people, and walked away.

…………

At this point, it's already afternoon.

The city wall of Tianjin Wei is already cracked.

At this time, a military horse has come slowly from the northeast.

On this flat plain, the military horses that snake like long snakes began to take shape.

And the sound of artillery also stopped abruptly.

The Spaniards realized that a military horse had appeared in their northeast direction.

Sitting on their horses, the commanders of both sides held their binoculars and observed each other.

Fang Jifan was in the telescope and saw Wang Xizuo.

At this time...... Seeing that Tianjin Wei had not yet fallen, this made Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan both breathe a long sigh of relief.

Now...... The moment I saw Wang Xizuo.

Fang Jifan couldn't help grinning, holding the telescope with one hand, waving the other, beckoning to the king carefully, as if he had seen his own relatives.

This made Wang Xizuo, who was carrying the telescope on the opposite side, look at it, and his face turned green with fright, and he was busy putting the telescope down.

On the side, Sir Francisco seemed to see the situation as well, and couldn't help cursing: "This is an insult, I saw the person opposite actually smiling contemptuously at me!" ”

"Yes, Sir, he's insulting you." Wang Xianzuo's heart thumped.

"Finish them off, deliver my orders, the infantry ......," Sir Francisco roared: "It took us half a year to prepare, more than half a year, to overcome the waves and come here, and now ...... The land of abundance that God has given us is right before our eyes, and by killing this group of natives, we can indulge here, just as we have in North Africa and the Americas, now...... Listen to my orders and attack! ”
