The Tower of London is a strong fort-type building and an independent castle in the city. Because it is the residence of the royal family of all dynasties, the guards are extremely strict, and the city walls are very tall and strong.
It seems that it is really not easy to have two hundred or dozens of martial arts strong guard knights and hundreds of regular army soldiers guarding this sturdy castle.
Kahn took the brigade to the main entrance of the Tower of London-Southwest Gate, waiting for the arrival of the blasting team ...
Neither Malin nor Edward entered the city, but fought outside the city. Of course, in fact, these two goods did not enter the city immediately because of fear of death. According to the plan of the two, they must wait until the enemy is eliminated before they can wear a plate armor to engage in a ceremony of entering the city and accept the cheers of their subjects very pretending ...
what? Do you say that London citizens refuse to cheer? What are the swords of the soldiers? Give him a break without cheering ...
The city of London is too large, with tens of thousands of residents (in this era, it is definitely a big city). The streets of the city are lined with dark alleys. Marin was worried that he would be assassinated by the enemy without the elite escorts after entering the city. You know, in order to attack, he sent the number one slammed bodyguard Kahn, and a group of guard knights. Expecting the group of infantry around him seems to be difficult to stop the assassination. After all, the muscular knights, wearing plate armor, are very resistant and suitable for being their own meat shields ...
Looking at the West Gate of London and the river Thames in the south, Marin was silent for a while, and suddenly asked:
"By the way, I remember that the Tower of London was by the Thames, and the southeast wall of the palace was next to the Thames. In other words, will Henry VII escape from the Thames?"
Edward froze, then slapped his head and said:
"It's really possible! We sent someone to intercept?"
"Have you prepared?" Speaking, Marin was really negligent at this point. After all, he is not a smart computer, and it is inevitable that there will be loopholes in thinking.
McKinley, one of the heads of the Beihai Chamber of Commerce, said with a smile:
"Duke, please rest assured that our North Sea Chamber of Commerce's ten merchant ships in the Port of London were probably dispatched at this time. It is estimated that the small Royal Quay outside the southeast gate of the Tower of London is blocking!
"Ouch, you are really capable, you all think of it. If you catch a big fish, you will be rewarded!"
"Yes, lots of rewards! I'm not a stingy person!" Edward also said on the side.
...
Sure enough, McKinley did not lie. At this time, the ten large ships of the North Sea Chamber of Commerce blocked the Royal Dock on the Thames River outside the southeast gate of the Tower of London. At this time, Henry VII jumped upright ...
"Asshole! Where did this group of **** come from? Why stop the boat we fled!"
In fact, Henry VII did have a "big" ship of about two hundred tons on the Royal Wharf. Originally, after learning that Marin's army had entered the city of London, Henry VII made plans to take his wife and children into the sea and then go into exile.
Anyway, he Henry VII was not without exile. In those days, as a side member of the Lancaster family, in order to avoid the pursuit of the York family, he spent a long time in the Principality of Brittany.
He was ready-with his wife and children and some cronies, some precious jewellery, in exile in the Netherlands, seeking refuge from Emperor Maximilian I ...
As for France, he cannot go. He had previously commanded the English navy to let the French navy finish, Louis XII wished to cut him. And Spain, because of the death of Princess Catherine, will not treat him favorably.
Only Maximilian I has no injustice with him, and it is easier to accept it. What's more, Maximilian I is also the boss of Marin Hoffman, who can always prevent the "evil dog" from chasing himself ... If the Netherlands does not contain himself, he will go into exile in Norway ...
But after all, the plan was only a plan. When Henry VII packed up and prepared to take the family and his confidants to board the ship, he unexpectedly found that the river was blocked ...
Henry VII jumped upright, but soon he realized that he couldn't escape ...
...
After Kahn waited for the blasting team, the blasters of the blasting team used an iron pick to pry open the bricks under the gate of the Tower of London, buried the gunpowder barrel, and then ignited ...
"Boom--" The southwest gate of the Tower of London was suddenly blown open. And Kahn, with a mixed formation of guards and scout cavalry musketeers, carefully entered the Tower of London ...
But another surprise to Kahn was that the resistance along the road was not so strong, and most of them were blocked by infantry. In front of the Guardian Knights, these infantry soldiers are to deliver food ...
But soon, Kahn understood why the enemy's resistance was not strong-it turned out that Henry VII, with his family and confidant guards, ran outside the southeast gate of the Thames. Looks like, to take a boat to run ...
"No, you can't let this guy run away. Let's stop them!" Kahn was taken aback ~ www.novelhall.com ~ but soon, he was not nervous. Because, he saw the merchant ship of the North Sea Chamber of Commerce with the Black Cross flag rising above the river—obviously, the ship of Henry VII was blocked ...
"I give you all the money, and you are nobles, let it go!" Henry VII shouted from the shore.
However, the captains of the North Sea Chamber of Commerce were unimpressed-joke, I know you have a lot of money, but under the eyes of everyone, who dares to ask for your money? As for sealing us as a nobleman, you can't save yourself. Who admits that the nobleman sealing it?
In the end, Henry VII decided to fight hard. He took more than two hundred guard knights and his family on board. Then, let the sailing guard knights control the ship and rush to the merchant ships of the North Sea Chamber of Commerce that blocked them ...
However, the form did not develop as expected by Henry VII. The more than two hundred guard knights can fight ten on land. But on the ship's deck, they are far worse than the sailors in the city.
When the gang jumped to death, many guard knights even fell. Even, a few did not jump directly to the opposite ship and fell into the river ...
Although these England guard knights are also water-based, they do not mean that they are good at fighting on board. Soon, on the shaking deck, the brave English guards were defeated. In particular, the sailors of the North Sea Chamber of Commerce took out a knight nemesis like a clockwork firearm ...
In the end, the family of Henry VII failed to escape by boat. When Kahn took the brigade to the river, the family of Henry VII could only be captured. Henry VII was very dissatisfied and scolded. Kahn listened to him and directly hit a knife to stun Henry VII. Then, like a chick, Henry VII, who fainted, disembarked and landed on the shore, and returned to the Tower of London, which had been controlled by the army of the Grand Duchy of North Sea ...
