The siege in Plymouth North began.

To be precise, the battle started was actually just a fight. Since the Beiyang cavalry entered the city, even if there were only a few hundred cavalry, it has greatly encouraged the majesty of the commercial soldiers in the city.

Merchants and sailors need the army to be brave. They can do some big things on their own, but if there are more professional talents, people will feel more at ease. Wang Jinzhong, the sumo wrestling coach of the garrison, was elected as the captain of Zhongxian because of his identity.

As the saying goes, there is a specialty in skills. For example, although a delivery guy who can't drive excavators is not a good player, people still think it's very powerful when they hear the word "practice".

In the past, soldiers who ran out of the besieged camp to fetch water could run to the well outside the city with their buckets with their hands to fetch water carelessly. That was because the merchant ships and sailors in the city avoided the battle and no one wanted to attract the enemy to attack the city in advance.

The people outside the city were also brave. Although they lacked enough weapons to attack the city, they felt that they were OK when they saw that they did not dare to attack.

It's different now. There are regular troops in the city, and they are cavalry.

Although it is a big deal for cavalry to defend the city, they need professional soldiers to be brave. Although this city wall is very high, it is actually a good thing. The vertical city wall has no moat, just a small canal to guard the Jier City.

In fact, we can't blame the city wall for being roughly built. Everything has its function. When the city wall was built, the war was not as shadow as artillery. The city wall with slopes can better defend against the attack of catapults, but why should Plymouth be protected against catapults?

It is not a noble castle. As the northern wall of the harbor city, the most likely enemy to face is bandits, robbers and peasant uprisings, so the enemy it needs to be guarded against is ladders, cloud ladders, and the city walls that are straight up and down are more difficult to get the ladders to get on. Ordinary peasant uprisings will not have any catapults.

Don't worry about the slope of the city wall, the grandfather of the sailor guarding the city is now straightening his waist. Can you watch the soldiers besieging you stroll around with a wooden barrel? You can fly over with your bow and arrow, and you can do another arrow to vent your anger that you have been cutting the arrow shaft day and night since the siege.

The opposite side understood, threw down the wooden bucket and ran away. After a while, a knight master who was straddling the horse came, led a dozen mobs under him with long bows, raised his hand and pointed at the top of the city and shot.

The first siege of the Englishmen on Puley County began.

The longbows under the city were shot, and the hard bows on the city were fired together. Both sides fought back and forth. The defenders in the city also came to the city. The besieged troops outside the city also drove to the city. The recruiting farmers had no chance to watch the fun with their pitchforks. They pushed the Fran machine cannons, throw stone cannons, transport shells and newly chiseled round stones under the command of the knights and entourages. The entire camp immediately started to move.

The siege troops were divided into two groups. The Earl of Plymouth believed that his troops were lured to siege the city by the Ming army in the city, but he no longer had the ability to stop the battle. He could only divide more than a thousand troops on the spot to advance westward to set up defense lines to stop the Irish Ming army that had captured Newquay Port as he imagined.

Except for those who had already fought at the city, everyone in the remaining troops knelt down under his leadership to pray before the war and boost morale. The nobles selected veterans under their command who had experienced the battle to form a siege team, and mixed up with more than a dozen knights who escaped from the west to form a siege team to prepare for the most difficult battle.

The Count hoped that the battle would go smoothly, but their Franco guns had a very small caliber and could not pose a threat to the city wall. At most, they could only attack the crossbowmen who were wooden towers on the city. The task of breaking the city wall was finally to fall on two stone-towers in the camp that could throw 50 kilograms of huge rocks.

The biggest problem is that the siege of the city was still short, and the number of stone bullets they carved with human power was too small, so it would be difficult to break open the city wall.

The city was also in urgent mobilization. Li Changlai mobilized Joseph and Alan Muming, and transferred Baojia, the Zhongyi soldiers of 800 counties from the city to the city, and mixed the garrison with 300 sailors.

The shortage of troops in the city was just one of them. What Li Changlai was most afraid of was not the enemy outside the city, but the people in the city took advantage of the enemy's attack on the city and rebelled, causing them to fall into the dilemma of attacking inside and outside. Therefore, a group of people were first transferred to the city, and then asked the Baiyang cavalrymen who were staying in the city, Alan Muming and Joseph Wheat to lead the caravan sailors, and Alan infantry guarded all the important roads in the city - mainly to retreat from the city to the Ming Chamber of Commerce Hall.

In Li Changlai's eyes, the Ming Chamber of Commerce Hall is a more reliable place to defend than this broken city wall. The wall is not only strong, but also the guild hall's siege building is also a small moat. Even if the city is broken, hundreds of their remaining soldiers can hide in the siege fort and guard for another ten or half a month.

After all, it is difficult to put the siege weapons in the city.

But that was just a life-saving strategy. Now they are fighting to defend this city. Only by defending this city can we take a high look at the court when distributing interests in the future - no one wants to be a merchant, and if they want to be a merchant, they don’t need to instigate this rebellion at all.

At least for Li Changlai, this place is good. If the court wants to set up Xuanwei Department here, Xuanwei will make this position more suitable than anyone else.

This hope can bring him the belief of sticking to the city.

However, the stone-throwing cart outside the city threw the first huge stone bullet into the air and shot the parabola into the city, accurately stomping the grass arrows that Wang Jinzhong usually shoots arrows? Li Changlai on the city wall was like the Yi soldiers and Baojia who were hiding everywhere with various weapons, without any distractions.

On April 17, the north wall of Puli County on the 17th day of the 11th year of Wanli, it can hold a Zhengde, Jiajing, Longqing, Wanli Dynasty, and the World Hot and Hot Weapon Expo.

Whether it is the Yiding Baojia who brings his own weapons or the sailor who seeks life at sea, the long-prepared battle to defend the city has finally begun. At this moment, no one has any choice but to fight.

Li Changlai shouted and ordered the sailors to gather four Franco cannons in the city next to him, crossed the enemy infantry brigade that was pushing the ladder forward, and aimed at the huge stone throwing chariot in the distance.
