The Tower of London is a fortified fortress-like structure, a self-contained castle within a city. Because it was the residence of the royal family in the past, it was heavily guarded and the walls were very tall and sturdy.

With two hundred or more skilled knights of the Guard, and hundreds of regular soldiers guarding this fortified castle, it seems that it is not easy.

Karn led the team to the main gate of the Tower of London's Palace, the southwest gate, and waited for the arrival of the demolition team......

Neither Marin nor Edward entered the city, but oversaw the battle outside the city. Of course, in fact, these two goods did not enter the city immediately because they were afraid of death. According to the plan of the two, they must wait until the enemy is destroyed, and then they will wear plate armor and perform a ceremony to enter the city, and accept the cheers of their subjects very pretendedly......

What the? You say the citizens of London won't cheer? What are the swords of his soldiers for? Give him a ...... if you don't cheer

The city of London was so large that it had tens of thousands of inhabitants (definitely a big city in its day). The city is full of streets and dark alleys. Marin was very worried that after he entered the city, he would be assassinated by the enemy without that group of elite escorts. You know, in order to attack, he sent Karn, the number one fierce general, and a group of knights of the guard. Counting on the group of infantry around him, it seems that it is difficult to stop the assassination. After all, that group of muscular knights, wearing plate armor, is very durable, and it is also very suitable to be their own meat shield......

Looking at the West Gate of London and the turbulent waters of the River Thames to the south, Marin was silent for a while, and then suddenly asked:

"By the way, I remember that the Tower of London was on the banks of the River Thames, and the south-eastern walls of the palace were facing the River Thames. By the way, will Henry VII run away from the Thames? ”

Edward was stunned, then patted his head and said:

"It's possible! We send someone to intercept? ”

"Are you ready?" Speaking of which, 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 next to him, said with a smile:

"Grand Duke, please rest assured, the ten merchant ships of our Beihai Chamber of Commerce in the port of London are probably all dispatched at this time, and it is estimated that they are blocking the small royal dock outside the southeast gate of the Tower of London!"

"Ouch, you're so capable, that's all in mind. If you catch a big fish, you will be rewarded! ”

"Yes, a lot of rewards! I'm not a stingy person! Edward also said.

……

Sure enough, McKinley didn't lie, and at this time, 10 large ships of the North Sea Chamber of Commerce blocked the royal docks on the surface of the River Thames outside the southeast gate of the Tower of London. At this time, Henry VII was so angry that he jumped to his feet......

"Bastard! Where did these bastards come from? Why stop our escaping ship! ”

In fact, Henry VII did have a "big" ship of about two hundred tons on the small royal dock. Originally, after learning that Marin's army had entered the city of London, Henry VII was ready to take his wife and children to board the ship and go into exile.

Anyway, he Henry VII was not without exile. Back then, as a member of the Lancaster family, he stayed in the Duchy of Brittany for a long time in order to avoid the pursuit of the York family.

He had already planned to go into exile in the Netherlands, taking his wife and children and some cronies, and some precious jewels, to seek the asylum of Emperor Maximilian I......

As for France, he could not go. He had previously commanded the English navy to bring the French navy to an end, and Louis XII was eager to cut him. And Spain, because of the death of Princess Catherine, will not have a good opinion of him.

Only Maximilian I, with whom he has no grievances and no enmity, is easier to accept. Moreover, what Maximilian I said was also Marin. Hoffman's boss can always stop the "vicious dog" from chasing and killing him...... If the Dutch don't take him in, then he will go into exile in Norway......

But a plan is just a plan after all, and when Henry VII packed up and was about to board the ship with his family and henchmen, he unexpectedly found that the river was blocked......

Henry VII was furious, but soon he realized that he could not escape......

……

Karn waited for the Demolition Team to arrive, and ordered the Demoman Team to pry open the masonry under the gate of the Tower of London with an iron pickaxe, bury the powder keg in it, and set it on fire......

"Boom-" The southwest gate of the Tower of London was suddenly blown open. Karn, on the other hand, with a mixed formation of Knights of the Guards and Scout Cavalry Musketeers, cautiously broke into the Tower of London's palace......

But to Karn's surprise, the resistance along the road was not very strong, and most of the people who stood in their way were some infantry. In front of the Guards Knights, these infantry were the ones who delivered food......

But Karn soon understood why the enemy was not resisting strongly—it turned out that Henry VII had fled with his family and confidants to the southeast gate of the Thames. It seems that you have to take a boat and run away......

"Oh no, we can't let this guy escape, let's stop them!" Karn was taken aback.

But soon, he was no longer nervous. Because, he saw the merchant ships of the North Sea Chamber of Commerce with the black cross flag raised on the river - apparently, the ship of Henry VII was blocked......

"I'll give you all the money and make you nobles, get out of the way!" Henry VII shouted from the shore.

However, the captains of the North Sea Chamber of Commerce were unmoved - joke, I know you have a lot of money, but in front of everyone, who dares to ask for your money? As for making us nobles, your own life is not guaranteed, who will admit the nobles who are crowned?

In the end, Henry VII decided to fight to the death. He boarded the ship with more than two hundred knights of the Guards and their families. Then, let the knights of the Guard, who know how to handle the sails, take control of the ships and rush towards the merchant ships of the North Sea Chamber of Commerce that are blocking them......

But the form did not develop as Henry VII expected, and more than two hundred knights of the Guards could fight ten at a time on land. But on the deck of the ship, they were much worse than the sailors in the city.

When the jumping ship gang was dying, many of the guards knights even fell down directly. Even, a few didn't jump into the opposite boat and fell directly into the river......

Although these English knights were also water-savvy, it did not mean that they were good at fighting on ships. Soon, on the shaky deck, the valiant knights of the English Guards were defeated. In particular, the sailors of the North Sea Chamber of Commerce came up with a knightly nemesis such as a clockwork musket......

Eventually, Henry VII's family fled by boat. When Kahn and his men boarded the boat and chased them to the river, Henry VII's family had to be captured. Henry VII was very unconvinced, scolding, Karn was angry when he heard it, and directly knocked Henry VII unconscious with a knife. Then, carrying the fainted Henry VII like a chicken, he disembarked and returned to the palace of the Tower of London, which had been controlled by the troops of the Grand Duchy of North Sea......
