"Although Zheng Zhilong didn't accept us, it didn't stop me from beating up Richelieu. Maybe things will turn around in the future!" Shulchi looked at Felipe IV and said.

The excitement on his face was much more than before, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this matter had a turning point.

Felipe IV stood up and kept walking back and forth in place.

"If he doesn't accept our surrender, then he shouldn't keep you for such a long time. According to common sense, if he really wants to reject us, he should expel you directly, not like now!" Fei Li Pei IV analyzed.

"Yeah, if it were me, then we would be expelled directly. More or less, he has this idea in his heart, but he doesn't know how many. Could it be that it is dishonest for us to surrender like this? ?” Shulch said.

Felipe IV stopped, stood there, nodded, and said, "I think so, you are right. I remember that there is a saying in the East called surrender. Let's just run over and say we want to surrender." , no matter how sincere we are, no one else can believe it!"

The two of them were analyzing here, analyzing and analyzing, and analyzed some truths, but they didn't know how many of these truths were true and how many were false.

Now, they have deviated from the whole of the West. If they don't make preparations quickly, no one knows what will happen in the future.

It's hard to meet a thigh, if you don't hug it tightly, if something happens later, it will be terrible.

All of a sudden, these two people had great doubts about the choice of the nomination certificate. They didn't know what method to use and what kind of nomination certificate to achieve.

The two discussed and discussed, but still got nothing.

In the end, they decided to start the war again. Since there was no other good way, they started the war again, so that Zheng Zhilong and the others could see their sincerity and their break with the West.

This is the only way they can do now, and they can't think of anything else.

A few days later, Felipe IV gave the order to attack again.

The main attacking place is France.This powerful country in the Western world is the easiest to express its determination.

At the junction of Spain and France, there is a place called the Principality of Catalonia, which has always been a territorial dispute between Spain and France. The Principality of Catalonia, this is a country without sovereignty at all.

Prior to this, the country was in a weird state of independence. After the armistice in the West, coupled with the rise in France's strength, this place was gradually controlled by France.

In the north of the principality, close to the French border, there is a place called the Principality of Andorra, whose name comes from Andorra la Vella.

This was originally the place where the front lines of France and Spain confronted each other. Later, the Spanish troops retreated, and the French troops gradually occupied this place.

Now, Felipe IV set his sights here.

If you can win here, you can directly attack the territory of France.

As the most powerful country in the entire alliance, attacking France can best reflect its determination to break with the West.

Under the order of Felipe IV, about 1 soldiers marched towards the Principality of Catalonia.

On the roads stretching across the rugged area, Spanish soldiers were armed with matchlock guns, carrying various supplies, and the famous Francois machine artillery.

Francois is another name for Spain. Spain relied on this kind of artillery to establish the earliest colonies in the world.

The leading commander is none other than Felipe IV and this Shulchi.

Felipe IV originally wanted to send other people there, but after thinking about it, he decided to go there himself.

Only by going there in person can you better show your sincerity.

Felipe IV's carriage was extremely luxurious, and the guards at the front and rear surrounded his team and moved forward slowly.

Sitting in the carriage, he looked forward with excitement, hoping that he could achieve his goal this time, and then surrender Zheng Zhilong like Charles I.

To some extent, his surrender was different from that of Charles I. Charles I could not survive without surrender, and when Qi surrendered to Zheng Zhilong, he did not have many troops in his hands.

Felipe IV is different. There is basically nothing in the country. The main problem comes from abroad. He still has a lot of troops and strength in his hands, and the glory of the empire is still there.

"Tell me, how long will it take for us to take Andorra City? If we can take Andorra City, we can push our troops into France. By then, our goal will be achieved!"

Looking at Schulchi sitting opposite him, Felipe IV asked with a smile.

Obviously, he is full of confidence in his future.

However, apart from the excitement, there was still some worry in my heart.

There are many soldiers equipped with new weapons in France today. There are not a few of these soldiers. If you directly confront them, no one knows what will happen. Whether it is the opponent's opponent is really hard to say.

These soldiers are the last force in the hands of Philip IV. If the loss is over, then there will really be a lot to say in the future.

"In today's France, Louis XIV has a lot of troops and is equipped with a lot of advanced weapons. These weapons have an overwhelming advantage for us. I have visited them before and have seen with my own eyes how powerful their weapons are! "Speaking of which, Felipe IV worried a lot.

Louis XIV is a powerful king. On the surface, he united the kings of various countries and established a research institute, but he basically took away all the weapons produced by the research institute. In other countries, although Some are also equipped, but the number is really pitifully small.

As for Felipe IV, almost none of them were equipped, and Louis XIV did not regard Felipe IV as his own at all.

This is also one of the reasons why Felipe IV decided to break up. From the beginning, people did not regard them as their own.

It is said to be united, but in fact it is to increase the number of others.

In other words, if Louis XIV can really defeat Zheng Zhilong, what will happen next?

Could it be that they will release the horses to Nanshan and live in peace with them?

This is simply impossible. If it were Philip IV, he would definitely use this prestige to attack the entire Western Continent and unify the entire West.

In other words, being united with Louis XIV was like seeking skin from a tiger.

If the whole of the West is no match for Zheng Zhilong, the consequences will be even worse.

At that time, Zheng Zhilong will definitely be punished, and the consequences will not be much better than the first one.

Ins and outs, nothing good comes out, so why bother mixing with them?

Schulchi said: "Your Highness, we don't need to worry about this matter. No matter what our consequences are, we are all here to express our sincerity. Besides, in order to guard against Zheng Zhilong and the others, France has almost concentrated its forces on the west coastline , The military strength of the Principality of Andorra is estimated to be old, weak, sick and disabled, our soldiers and horses are all elite, there is nothing to worry about!"

Felipe IV felt a lot more relieved after hearing Schulchi's words.

"I hope so, I hope so!" Felipe IV said again and again.

The Principality of Andorra is a very small country. In the ninth century, the Charlemagne Empire established a buffer state to prevent the harassment of the Moors. Since 1278, Spain and France have concluded a treaty and have joint jurisdiction over Andorra. In the following hundreds of years, the two countries frequently clashed in order to compete for Antao.

After Spain withdrew, France stationed 3000 troops here, and later transferred another group, leaving only 2000, most of whom were miscellaneous soldiers.

These soldiers were stationed scattered in Andorra City, unaware of the coming crisis.

……

Today is sunny, cloudless and clear.

In the small city of Andorra la Vella, the French soldiers who stayed here were scattered and roamed the streets in small groups.

In the taverns or gambling halls in the city, soldiers crowded inside can be seen everywhere.

These soldiers can't be called soldiers at all, they are basically composed of local ruffians, and they don't think about the interests of the country, but the military salary paid by the soldiers.

They had no military discipline at all, and they roamed freely in the city, not even noticing that the soldiers and horses led by Philip IV had approached the city.

About five miles south of Andorra la Vella, the [-] troops led by Felipe IV stopped.

He dispatched scouts to approach for reconnaissance, first to find out the situation in Andorra City.

These scouts arrived outside the city of Andorra in a short period of time. Because the city gate was closed, these scouts could not clearly detect the situation inside the city.

But they also saw that there were basically no gunners on the forts on the city wall, and there were no sentries in the guards, and there was almost no guarding force on the entire city.

They quickly reported the situation back, and Philip IV burst into laughter after learning about it.

From this point of view, the defensive strength here is almost non-existent.

Without further ado, the order to attack was issued.

Franc machine guns lined up, progressive bombing.

The rumbling cannons kept ringing in place, like a bolt from the blue, the wooden city gate was blown to pieces, and the fort on the city wall was also bombed.

The soldiers in the city just woke up like a dream.

The first defenders on the street bounced off the ground like a bullet.

They looked in the direction of the city gate blankly, their faces full of disbelief.

They have been settled here for a long time since the Spanish retreated. In their minds, the war has gradually faded away, but now the rumbling sound of the guns brought them back to reality.

The elites in the army had already been transferred away by Louis XIV, and the rest of them were nothing but miscellaneous soldiers formed by local rogues and green-skinned hooligans. Due to the situation, everyone panicked and didn't know what to do.

The streets and alleys immediately became chaotic, and there were exhausted miscellaneous soldiers everywhere. They wished they had four legs.

There was even chaos in order to escape, and intense conflicts broke out in the streets and alleys.

Just as they were fighting for their lives, Felipe IV's soldiers had already entered the city gate.

These elite soldiers, holding matchlock guns, began to clean up the miscellaneous soldiers in the city.

The order of Philip IV was to kill all the people in the city.

This is the massacre.

It was already a situation of immortality, and killing these enemies did not have any psychological pressure on Felipe IV at all.

The screams kept ringing out, and the whole street was filled with blood.

The sound of arquebus guns sounded from time to time, like a life-threatening spell, took away one life after another.

The war lasted for about two days, and the massacre was almost one-sided. There were not many survivors in the entire city.

But there are still some fish that slipped through the net and escaped from the city wall, rushing all the way towards France.

The news here couldn't be hidden at all, and it didn't take long before it reached Louis XIV.

……

In the palace, Louis XIV's face was livid.He never thought that Felipe IV would be so courageous to attack them at this very moment.

"It's really disgusting. I never thought that he would be such a person. It's fine to surrender to those Easterners, but now he wants to attack us. Who does he think he is? What exactly does he want to do?"

Louis XIV's roar sounded again and again, and the servants standing beside him all lowered their heads.

Zheng Zhilong's fleet is now swimming in the strait, and before he can think of a solution, Philip IV made a comeback and attacked Andorra.

And here is the main point of France. If Felipe takes Andorra, he will be able to gather superior forces to attack the hinterland of France. Between the castles, it is mainly used to guard against Zheng Zhilong.

If they are left alone like this, no one knows what will happen to Felipe IV, whether he will leave after grabbing a hand, or continue to attack.

Richelieu standing in front of him suddenly frowned brightly.

"Your Highness, this seems to be a little bit wrong." Richelieu said.

"What's wrong, tell me quickly!" Louis XIV said anxiously.

"Your Highness, before Felipe IV said he wanted to surrender, Zheng Zhilong didn't agree, and after he came back, he couldn't wait to attack us, most likely for Zheng Zhilong to see.

If he can really pose a huge threat to us, maybe Zheng Zhilong will really accept it. If we can eliminate him in one fell swoop, then our backyard will be much more stable. said Richelieu.

Hearing this, Louis XIV's complexion became better than before.

"Indeed, if, if we can defeat them, it will crush Felipe IV's ambition to surrender.

It can even make our backyard settle down and treat Zheng Zhilong and the others wholeheartedly. said Louis XIV.

"But we don't have many troops left, and most of them are deployed on the side of Banktan Castle. Which troops should we send there?" Louis XIV frowned again.
