After Emperor Hongzhi said that, he was still worried.

He wanted to say something, but someone came in: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty... a large number of defeated soldiers are about to enter the city, and they are about to enter the city."

Jinwu Guard...it will collapse at one touch.

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

Not long after, a seriously injured Qianhu was carried in. The Qianhu was crying and was filled with panic: "Your Majesty, Chenzhou is waiting for him...he..."

This Chenzhou Hou has always been in the palace and was Emperor Hongzhi's confidant. At this time, Emperor Hongzhi sighed: "Can you know life and death?"

"I don't know, but... I'm afraid I'll encounter an unexpected accident."

Emperor Hongzhi nodded: "Although he was unfavorable in the battle, he was the leader and could be called loyalty and courage."

Qianhu said: "When the Marquis charged in battle, he once recited a poem..."

At this time, Emperor Hongzhi was in the mood to listen to chant poems.

Ma Wensheng said at this time: "The matter of this poem is to be discussed later. The most important thing now is to strengthen the city defense of Tianjin Wei, Tanggu area, and the cavalry camp are there, so they can order them to return to defense immediately..."

A military conference has begun.

The thousand households were extremely depressed when they heard that His Majesty and the ministers were not interested in poetry.

I am not allowed to recite poems anymore. How can I be worthy of the dead Chenzhou Hou?

Ma Wensheng was at least the Minister of War, and in addition, the commander of the Warriors Battalion in Tianjin's guards also got involved.

Everyone had agreed to order the cavalry camp to return to defense and station nearby, forming a stance to stand in a corner, waiting for labor and defending Tianjin guards, so that the Spaniards could not take advantage of it.

The longer the time goes on, the greater the advantage of the Ming Dynasty.

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 very fast.

All of this was greatly beyond the expectations of the monarchs and ministers.

It was originally the assembly time that Ma Wensheng said, and the Spanish could never have been so quick.

This is also the reason why he called the Knight Camp.

But……

"Your Majesty... These Spanish people are not simple." Ma Wensheng couldn't help but shivered. He had a premonition that something was wrong: "The old minister is not unaware of Franchise. Just say that the Portuguese of Franchise has a strong army in the West, and their army is brave and has strong combat power. They can subdue the Western natives and win every battle. But the old minister roughly estimated that the Portuguese military horses in the West were only the Warriors camp. Maybe they were more familiar with using firearms and were more diligent in their training... But now it seems that the Spanish military horses are quite a bit bad, I'm afraid..."

Emperor Hongzhi looked tragic, and he snorted coldly: "The Spaniards came from thousands of miles away, and they were prepared. What they were dispatched must be the elite among the elites of Franchise. How can they be taken lightly and issued an order to stand for help."

Everything is too fast.

It was completely beyond everyone's expectations.

He quickly defeated the Jinwu Guard without any need to be repaired. Others may not know the advantages and disadvantages of the long-distance attack, but Ma Wensheng knew the most, but this Spanish military horse was extraordinary.

It didn't take long before the rumbling sound of cannons came from outside the city.

The Spanish actually had cannons.

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

So frightened in the city.

…………

The ambitious Sir Francisco is now standing on the commanding heights, lifting up his telescope and looking at the Tianjin Wei in the distance.

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

Obviously, upon learning that they were attacked, many soldiers and civilians in the country had entered the city.

He had no interest in sweeping the suburbs.

We must quickly take down this acropolis and then advance towards the imperial city of the Ming Dynasty.

The soldiers quickly built the artillery position and dozens of artillery fired at the same time.

"Their wall is made of rammed earth, and we will speed up the shelling here." Sir Francisco smiled now.

Because... the city defense of the Ming Dynasty was obviously much easier than I thought. This was not a fortress built with huge rocks. Most of the city walls were just bricks and stones, and even some city walls were piled up with rammed earth.

The Ming Dynasty was in peace for a hundred years. Except for the barriers, most of the city walls were better than nothing, which gave the Spanish great convenience.

Sir Francesco put down his telescope and nodded with satisfaction at Wang Xi beside him: "Your Excellency, everything you said is correct. The Ming Empire is just a mud-footed giant. Today, we are about to enter this city and then head to their capital."

Wang Xizuo's heart was already thrusting.

He smiled, worried.

The artillery in the city began to fight back.

However, the artillery of both sides is actually limited, but the goal of Franjiman is a large city wall, while the Tianjin Guard's fortress is to look for artillery positions with much smaller targets under the city. Therefore, Sir Francisco was not worried. What he wanted was to break through the Tianjin Guard's unsolid city defense. As long as this goal was achieved, it would be fine.

The rumbling sound of cannons kept resounding.

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

The anxiety in the city is constantly amplifying.

Although the Warriors' camp was sharpened, His Majesty was in the city, which made everyone unable to let go.

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

This made the military and civilians in the city become frustrated.

…………

At the same time, the large group of people walked windingly, like a long snake.

Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan rode horses and kept urging the army to move quickly.

Zhu Houzhao was anxious along the way.

Fang Jifan gritted his teeth and complained a lot: "I have said that I must have landed in Dagukou. Your Highness, now something big is going to happen, and our heads will definitely not be protected."

Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan complained in various ways, but he was speechless, but he had no choice.

The Jinwu Guard cannot stop the Spanish army.

And most importantly, he still did not expect that the Spanish came so quickly that under his ideas, Tanggu and Dagukou would establish a solid line of defense.

But now... it's too late to say anything.

Fortunately, Changpingwei was extremely fast under a command.

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

Everyone practiced day and night, adopted the method of stepping and gave the best food. Not only that, the prince also personally took private money and paid salaries so that the officers and soldiers could support their families.

In the past, according to the system of the garrison, the soldiers of Changping Guard needed to cultivate land. Once they were not allowed to farm, they would farm every day, which would cause panic among the soldiers. After all, if they did not farm, what would the family eat? With the money, the morale of the army was determined, and a good meal was enough to support their bodies in high-intensity training.

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

Any complex tactical action, to some extent, is meaningless to the army.

Find the most effective way to kill the enemy, and then let the soldiers practice it repeatedly for a thousand times or ten thousand times. This is the elite of the training.

Like the so-called gantry formations, long snake formations, tiger wing formations, and other flower stands practiced by other guards, they can be cancelled and they can be arranged in a queue.

Changpingwei's endurance burst out at this moment.

After getting used to the exercise, they quickly began to move forward and headed towards Tianjin Wei.

As people fleeing, there were sounds of horse hooves coming from afar.

Immediately, a eunuch, hurriedly came to him with several guards. When he saw the Changping Guards' men, he immediately shouted: "Your Highness, Your Highness, you have the will, you have the will..."

Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan looked at each other, and the two hurriedly walked forward and stopped each other.

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

After he finished speaking, Zhu Houzhao waved the whip in his hand fiercely.

With a bang, the eunuch made a chuckle.

Zhu Houzhao grinned and said, "What did you say?"

“There is an order…”

Zhu Houzhao wanted to wave the whip again, which scared the eunuch so much that he hurriedly hid.

"You can try it again."

The eunuch cried: "Your Highness, I am a servant..."

"Get out!" Zhu Houzhao said.

Fang Jifan was on the side and was a peacemaker: "Don't be excited, your highness, your father-in-law, your prince is in a bad mood. Now... it's an extraordinary time. If you give in, don't block the way."

"But……"
